Last time:
- Jacobine Homework Montage. (....MONTAGE!)
- All the childrens grew up to the next stage: Jacobine to a slutty/hobo/wannabe/rebellious teen (a criminal ho, per se), the twins Vanja and Alfred to cute, vampire-obsessed kids ready to start school, and the youngest, Nils, to a cute, but whiny toddler.
- Lots and lots of Jacob makeovers.
- Kai and Sam got their groove on... in front of the family. They at least figured out that their family was disgusted with them, and moved their "activities" to the bedroom. Ah - nothing like old man lovin'. :D
Onto the update!
Observe - typical morning/night/some time of day at the Norway household. Children finishing their homework at the last mintue, Maja being overwhelmed with being a mother, and Kai trying to be his old crabby self.
It's time for another Jacobine pictoral! This time, she is bouncing on the trampoline - in her underwear of course. I think she gets that from Maja. I honestly don't know the last time Maja was NOT wearing that red and black bra and panty set. >.> It's just that Maja never ever leaves the house and she has no point in changing her clothes.
Jacobine: Look at me! I'm a bird! Flap flap!
Yes, you are a very... special bird. Who says "flap flap" out loud.
Jacobine: I am one awesome flipper.
In all seriousness, she really is. I think she's the only one who flips. She's at least the first one I've seen who has that kind of mad trampoline skills.
Jacobine: Should I pretend to be a bird again?
No... please don't.
Jacobine: Oh, I know, I'll be a giraffe! Let me just stick my neck out like this...
...You look like a constipated elephant. Please stop.
Time for another Jacob Makeover Housecall (TM).
Jacob:My makeovers are trademarked now? Sweet. Looks like I've made it to the big time. *puts on sunglasses* YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!
I like how I probably don't have to link the coughCSIMiamicough reference I just made. So I won't.
I was tempted to give him this hair.
But then I found this.
...But then I realized he needed a hat.
I think Jacob is mentally scarred from overexposure to butt!sizzling.
But money makes it alllll better. :)
Jacob: Hey kid, what the heck are you laughing at?
Paper girl: *gigglesnort* You make people poke their butts!
Jacob: Well, I'm a pretty significant influence in the world of butt-poking, if I don't say so myself. *Revels in own reflection*
Jacob: DERP
Jacob Makeover Housecall (TM) #2!
Just an inkling, but I have a feeling this guy needs new clothes. Just a guess.
One successful makeover (and butt!sizzle later) ---> promotion! Yeah! And I am fond of the title "Houndstooth Soothsayer."
Jacob: Oh, what's that I hear? Oh! It's the sound of my bank account expanding like a fat kid's waistline! Cha-ching!
Dude: Uh...
Dude: Great job and all, but this is too much hair. I'm going to go to my room and cut it all off. And possibly cut holes in these clothes. There's not enough holes in this shirt and vest combo.
Jacob: I am awesome. I deserve gold star stickers. I will stick them on my blow drier.
Too many video games has made Alfred... special.
Hey, it's
creepy gay senator from a few updates ago! Let's see what happens!
Sam: Oh fucking hell. I'm going to go stuff my face and hope to forget about this horrible man.
And apparently this incident has made Sam the most famous person in the family! Sam didn't even make an effort. All he had to do was associate himself with a closeted politician! I'm sure he's minor tabloid fodder at the least.
Two stars! Two-Star Sam Norway? Eh, doesn't have the same ring as "Three-Star Alan Stanley."
Sam: Come here, my lovely buttercream cake, we have an appointment... in which I completely devour your every morsel. :D
Uhhh. This guy comes off strong.
Sure, what the hell. I want to see what happens.
You can tell these three are REALLY excited about the party. I made Sam go, but I made sure he had other men around to protect him.
Jeffery: Hello there, Sam! I hope you're going to change into your swimsuit just like your friends already did. You need to join in on the fun!
Sam: No, that's okay. I get cold easily. And tonight is kind of cold. Yeah.
Jacob: Why isn't Senator Cook talking to meeee? I'm wayyy more important than Mr. Chief of Staff Sam Norway. Psshh.
Kai: Fuck this, I'm going home to sleep unless something really interesting happens.
Jeffery: Saaammm! Where are youuuu? I want to see what you look like in your swimsuit!
Kai: ...Officially going home right now. And taking Sam with me.
Kai: Poor guy probably hid from the creepster. Jacob can distract him with his blinding arrogance.
Awww. Nils was forgotten. :( I made sure he was put in his crib soon as I found this.
Sam: Cake, oh yes, lots of cake. Cake makes the pain go away, cake makes the dirty thoughts go away. Never enough cake.
Sam: Now to have an excuse to never leave the house as often as I already do.
Sam: Yay! The confetti is the best part of retirement!
Al: Here grandpa, have some more retirement confetti!
Sam: Uhh..
Sam: What the hell happened to you? D:
Also Disfigured Vanja: Yayyyy! My limbs are the consistency of spaghetti!
Disfigured Al: More confetti!! More!! More!!!!!!!!!!
Sam: Kai, is it me, or are the twins looking... very stretched out?
Kai: No more yetis! No more yetis! Send them all to the North Pole!
Jacobine: ...Huh.
Yes, that, in fact, was the most bizarre retirement celebration in the history of Sims.
Al: I was taller than you when we were all stretched out!
Vanja: Nuh uh, I was!
Al: Nuh uh, I was!
Vanja: No, me!
Al: No, me!
Vanja: No!
Al: Yes!
Vanja: Yes! *blink* Wait... what?
Al: I think we've been playing chess for too long. Let's do something more normal kids do.
Vanja: I agree. Start our homework that's due two weeks from now?
Al: Sounds good to me!
Yes, everyone in this house likes wearing their underwear, swimwear, or pajamas. I don't think very many people in this house wear their normal clothes these days. Except maybe the kids when they go to school.
Time for adventures in celebrity stalking! Meet Richie Striker, a four star celeb! (Who makes me think of Richie Rich... which kind of makes sense because him and and his family ARE rich.)
Jacobine: Hi! :)
Richie: Oh god... not another stalker. Last time this happened, I had to pack my bags and move the fuck away...
Richie stands his ground, preventing potential trouble.
Jacobine: Awww, come on! I have lots of interesting things to say!
Jacobine: I'm so cool that I'll let you raise your ego even more by signing an autograph!
Richie: Okay, fine. I'll give you one autograph.
Jacobine: Hooray!
Jacobine: See, didn't that feel good?
Richie: Actually, yes. *plus*
Jacobine: *channels Jacob* I am awesome. *plus*
Jacobine: Daddy will be so proud of me for meeting a big celebrity like you! He's always saying how much reputation matters, especially with a family like ours. I mean, we're not famous, but I know my Grandpa Sam is starting to get famous from being around that one senator...
Jacobine: ...and I think it's pretty awesome... um? Where'd you go?
Richie: Foolish girl... that was way too easy.
So since Richie was blocked off, I realized that one of his kids was one of Jacobine's childhood friends! Score! He's a little younger than her, as you can tell. His name is Sebastian. Awesome, I know.
Sebastian: Hey, you look different now... and possibly from a different planet.
Jacobine: So... still like the color blue?
Sebastian: And I see that you're still great at starting conversations.
Jacobine: Too bad you're still a kid. We could totally date if you were older. I think you'd look cute as you did now, even after puberty.
Sebastian: Um... thanks?
Jacobine: Thanks for inviting me in, Sebastian!
Sebastian: I didn't invite... oh screw it.
Jacobine: *continues her trend of
swimming in other people's pools without their permission*
Richie: Damnit! She's smarter than I originally assumed!
Jacobine: I wish Richie was here swimming with me... sans trunks. ;)
It slowly dawned me how creepy this was. Richie is Sebastian's father, mind you. Sebastian is MUCH closer in age to Jacobine than she is to Richie. Oh, and Richie is still married... he hasn't divorced or never got married.
And with some cheats, I found out that Sebastian is turning a teen tomorrow! Yes!
Apparently Sebastian, maybe in preparation for puberty, has taken a new interest in Jacobine. We will see how this turns out. :3
Meanwhile, at home, master artist Sam paints the legacy heir couple for this generation. I started with Jacob first, who had the want to have his picture painted. So I might as well figured to get it over with now.
Jacobine....Jacobine! Wake up!
Jacobine: Uh... buh... wha? Oh crap. Need to go home!!!
Jacobine: But let me do something else first...
...What?
Jacobine: *whistles casually*
....Oh.
Jacobine: *theftage of garbage can*
A lame thing to steal, but it's nice to see the family trait in use.
Here, have a ghost!Jeannie bouncing on the trampoline.
Sam finishes Jacob's picture and now is working on his daughter's.
Kai has also become fond of the bar
like his husband. Not only does he make drinks, he also actually stands around the drink them, too. With the bales of hay, of course.
Finished paintings! :)
Vanja rolled her LTW! This is something I've never gotten before from my sims. Sounds nerdy and fun! :) I get you Al will get something equally as nerdy, or more nerdy.
Sam: It's nice, just us two old coots playing chess together.
Kai: I stood at the bar with the hay bales today. I did feel quite powerful.
Sam: See, what'd I tell you?
Kai: Yes, you are very smart and wise, oh master Sam.
Kai: You know what is stupid? Laundry detergent. I don't like soapy things.
Sam: Are the yetis also too soapy for you?
Kai: Yeah, kind of. Their fur reminds me of really frothy soap.
Sam: You are a very strange man.
Sam: So if you saw a yeti OR laundry detergent, OR any kind of soap, would you run away? Do you think you have your dad's mad running skills?
Kai: I'm better at hand-to-hand combat, personally.
Sam: That does not surprise me.
Sam: So what do you want for dinner? I kind of want cake again, but I think it just aggrevates my emotional eating and my stomach is starting to protest...
Kai: Um... Sam?
Sam: *still looking down* Yeah, what is it?
Kai: I am floating in the air and sparkling.
Sam: Hahahahaha. You are so random sometimes. ...Wait.
Kai: Hoooo shit.
Kai: I like being transparent more than I thought I would. Nifty. And I don't have to walk anymore! But wait... I'm dead. Oh god. I'm dead.
Kai: Please, Death. It's just too soon. Maybe I screwed up and picked too many fights with people, but I love my husband. I love my children. I love my family. I want to make it right. Just a little longer. Please...
Jacob: Wow, this is more depressing than I thought it would be. :-/
Sam: I can't look... this isn't happening.
Death: Sorry, Kai Norway. But this is your time. It has been determined for a while. Again, I am sorry.
Kai: Oh.... oh.
Sam: Kai...oh god. Oh god. *sniff*
Sam: *sob* This isn't fair!
Sam: It's just not fair!!! < / 3
Kai, as your epitaph says, you were a great member of the family, even if your attitude wasn't always the best. You really did love your family. It's weird how I raised you from BIRTH and now you're dead. I'm really going to miss you. At least you're with your parents, and one day, Sam will join you, along with other members of your family. :(
Wow... that was probably the saddest scene I have ever written. I almost started crying when I was writing it. D: His death was just so unexpected mainly because I thought Sam would die first. I didn't think he would die that soon. Or I kind of lost track of time. 92 isn't super young or anything.
Anyways, I apologize for the disorganized update schedule as of late. School is starting to speed up a little, and I also have to figure out my major/career by like, this semester. But I will try to fix up something else this weekend. It might be an update, it might be something else. Just wait and see. :)
