A week with the Ramaswami and Baldwin families
Finally finished wrapping my presents! Sadly I have not actually finished buying them, but I used the spare time to write up this update.
To the Ramaswami's, where Sanjay is wondering if the promotion bonus is really worth the indignity of talking to himself in a mirror for hours on end. The answer is: yes. Yes, it is.
Meanwhile Priya was bored and lonely and had the day off, so I sent her to the art museum to make friends.
She did talk to other people too, but for some reason, I only took a picture of Mary-Sue. Probably because of the matchy dress colours.
Priya: So, did you have a good time at work?
Sanjay: Not as much of a good time as I can have at home.
Priya: Glad to hear it.
Oops.
Natasha Una invited herself over, so Sanjay hung out with her for a while before I sent him out to meet new people.
Sanjay: I'd rather not, if it's all the same to you.
David: So, you like computer games?
Sanjay: Yes. I play them because I like my own company. Which is why I sat over here, on my own.
David: So you're not an MMORPG fan then?
Sanjay: ...*groan*
He does enjoy playing around with his wife though.
Stella Roth came home with one of them, I forget who, and decided to stay for dinner.
Just a quick little chance card spam.
LIAR.
Poor Priya's workday wasn't quite as good as Sanjay's.
Priya: Meh.
Patricia Wan came home with Priya and started asking personal questions.
Patricia: Have you had your eggs fertilised?
Priya: OMG rude.
Priya: Wow, she was right.
Next: skilling with Priya. Beginning with custom paintings.
And ending with delicious pancakes.
Cleo: This show's pretty good, it's won awards.
Sanjay: I brought a gift for the best wife in the world!
Priya: Is it chocolate and a backrub?
Sanjay: No... but when you're on maternity leave, you can use it to call me when I'm at work and ask me to bring chocolate home.
Cuties.
Sanjay: And in conclusion, the stockholder shares can be increased-
Priya: Darling, I admire your decision to aim for promotion so we can afford a crib, but if you don't shut up and let me sleep, I'm going to throttle you with the kid's umbilical cord.
Oooh, pregnancy dust rings!
The phone repairman evidently finished working on Chloe's phone and she agreed to come over.
And then the three of them spent the next few hours fishing.
Priya: So you're an alien? Like ET? Is that why you were waiting for the phone repairman, so you could call home?
Chloe: Shut up.
STOP. Baby time!
Whyyyyyyyyyyyy.
Baby one! A girl named Rani.
Sanjay: YAAAAAY BABIES!
And baby two, a boy named Clyde.
Both parents start bonding with their new children.
And then they got dumped in the baby mat and chair. As you can see, they're not very impressed by this.
Their parents have other things to worry about: Natasha Una has just invited herself into their house. I'm pretty sure neither of them actually know her, but Natasha doesn't give a shit.
Natasha: I heard you had babies and I also heard it can be difficult for new parents to find the time to make food so I came over to tell you all about grilled cheese.
Natasha: Plus I was out walking and I remembered there was this movie I wanted to watch. You don't mind, do you?
And then they finished their week with a celebratory shag.
Next up, the Baldwins. Wow, Marcus seriously has no nose. How does he smell?
Isabel: Not too badly, because he's being potty trained.
Isabel: Wow, this is really fucking boring.
Cute potty training face though.
In my head, all I heard was Benjamin cry "I reversed the polarity of the neutron flow!"
Sofia, while it's really cute of you to run out to greet your dad, do you think you could not do it in your knickers?
Homework help and toddler training because the family that skills together... uh... there's really no way to finish that sentence.
Peek-a-boo is seriously one of the cutest animations in the game.
Another side profile of noseless Marcus.
I turn my back for one second and these two wreck their relationship with a bad conversation. Not that Isabel cares.
Isabel: Turns out it's possible to win at conversations when the other person's opinion is idiotic.
Benjamin: You didn't win. Pink dresses will always be fugly.
Isabel. You're not just wrong, you're stupid. :DDDD
Happily, they seem to have made up by Marcus' birthday.
Yep. Made up.
Benjamin: I guess the pink isn't so bad after all.
And now they're friends again, yay.
Speaking of friends, Benjamin and Marcus made friends while playing catch in their pjs.
Benjamin needed a creativity point, so I sent him down the pub.
Benjamin: I'M ON A HIIIIIIIIIIGHWAY TO HELL.
And so are my eardrums.
Put him down, Chloe, you don't know where he's been. More to the point, I don't know where he's been.
Sofia: So now we've made the bed, you know what we should do?
Marcus: What?
Sofia: PILLOW FIGHT!
Marcus: Ahahaha, I'll get you for that!
More creativity is needed, so for a change of scenery, I sent Benjamin to a club (I forget which one) to mix some beats.
Benjamin: Oooh, they've got Macarena! I'll pop that on, it'll be fun.
Marcus is another of those kids that drops everything to greet their parents, but I can't hate it too much when they do cute stuff like this.
Sofia's birthday next. Not that Benjamin cares.
Benjamin: -Yeah, it's a really sweet game, stayed up until 3am level grinding.
Aww, she's adorable!
Benjamin: -And then twenty zombies attacked me at once, but I found a power-up in a crate-
Are you STILL talking about your game? Have you even noticed that your daughter's a teenager now?
A close-up just to show you how adorable she is.
Isabel wanted the children to get into private school, so I invited the headmaster over.
Headmaster: Kisses and smoochies.
Heh, guess those kisses and smoochies worked in their favour.
Sofia: And suddenly, ROCKETS!
Benjamin: Speaking of which, would you like a ride on MY rocket?
I cannot believe that shitty pickup line worked.
Marcus brought Riordan Summerdream home after school and then shot him.
Isabel: Whoa, I feel funky.
Congratulations, you're pregnant. You have no space, so it'd better just be one.
Sofia: Hi, little brother.
Marcus: Hi, big sister.
Ahh, aren't you two sweet and dull?
Lucy Burb came over and brought her aunt Mary-Sue with her, so all the ladies hung out for hours and made friends.
It would appear friend-making is a very tiring process.
And this update ends with Sofia stargazing. At this time of year? She's totally looking for Santa.
