Randolph Legacy, Generation 5.5!
Time for more pixel_trade with a current spouse by imaginepageant and random walk-bys by everybody else.
Last time...was a couple days ago. I'm not recapping it. So there. :P
Okay, I will mention that we left off with Aphrodite inviting her siblings over for a visit. Everyone came but Castor, who was working.
This is the first time I've seen these two dance together clothed.
Come on, Eros, want to dance?
Uh...not really, Aunt Artemis.
It's easy, you just go like this and this and this! +1000
No! --
Damn, is he lame. --
So, I just graduated from high school, which is pretty cool, right?
Sure. Just make sure to stay off academic probation in Uni.
I'll help keep your mind sharp! What's the derivative of the equation x=(1/2)y^2?
Um...I haven't taken calculus yet, Uncle Apollo--
MULTIPLY IT BY THE EXPONENT, TAKE THE EXPONENT DOWN A DEGREE
I got a C in trig, you know--
It's just dx=y! GEEZ.
(That kid will never make money if he can't do a derivative!)
Artemis, I'm pretty sure that calculus doesn't have much to do everyday finances or economics.
I want some oyster crackers. D:
I've heard in some strict regimes, you can be executed for spraying other people's plates with your mouth-crumbs.
That's it, my favorite spare at this table is now Pollux, because he's not being mean to Eros!
I just got an A+. I am awesome.
Aw, no?
ONE MEASLY PERCENTAGE POINT AWAY from an A-. Oh, Eros.
Bye, Eros! Have fun in college, but not too much fun!
You're looking kinda skinny. How about you have a milkshake or something every now and then?
Shut up, tubby.
Apollo still has a special place in his heart for Tyche. A place that is starting to approach critical "creepy" mass.
It's still hard on Aphrodite, doing all the homework help for five kids.
What is this? You never used the pool when you lived here. It might have been interesting! >:|
Mommy, everyone at school says I stink!
Phobos hasn't bathed in like three days. He's had the cloud of stink for a day and a half.
Phobos, honey, get in the shower then. I hate to sound mean, but you do have a strong odor.
I'm too tired to take a bath! I've got to go to bed!
Then don't whine if you sleep in and don't have time for a bath!
This is like one of those mystery shots you'd end up with after you got film developed. You don't know how it got there, what you were thinking if/when you took the picture, but you feel like keeping it because it isn't bad.
I swear, Tyche likes to choose her pursuits based on what makes her look smartest.
I <3 fall with this many kids and that many homework bars to fill.
Tyche can feel satisfied in the fact that she's more intellectual than an eight-year-old.
HELLO, I NEED SOME INTERACTION!
Go wake up Hephaestus or something. Have we even seen him come out yet?
Hello? Aphrodite?
You're dead, Violet.
Why won't you talk to your poor mother? I know you can see me, I'm right outside the window!
WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?
YOU ARE A FUCKING GHOST
SHE CAN'T FUCKING SEE YOU
I would blame Violet for that, if she weren't a ghost. Next guess? Deimos.
Hey! Why are you showering NOW, when your ass should be on the bus?
I used Phobos's one childhood command on this. I reserve the right to age him up a day early with the other triplets because I'll be damned if I make this generation any longer than it already is!
TODAY IS A WONDERFUL DAY. It is Aphrodite and Emmett's first uninterrupted day alone in...well, counting Aph's parents...EVER. They are so dating and sexing about the house.
You are beautiful, Aph, even if I am smelling garbage at the same time.
Emmett?
You're standing in it. You interrupted her picking it up and putting it in the bin.
Deimos has to be faking this aura of well-adjustedness, right?
You gotta promise me that you're not going to get pregnant...
...I promise.
I promise.
Deimos? Your skin is flawless. No worries!
What happened to the fish?
Maybe no one ever taught Eros that fish don't travel well?
I'm exhausted, I'm fat, I smell, what is my life?
If only I had the heart to do this about 45 more times, Emmett would be nervous-breakdown proof!
Evidently, Phobos really isn't bothered THAT much by his own odor.
What's this? What's going on?
Before we continue, I have to state that I tried. There was no way I could get Emmett to gain more than about 500 aspiration points via dating. He got tons of sex and making out and flirts. He didn't care.
This is totally on him.
WAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Aphrodite: *cheerfully serves dinner*
Vhat seems to be zee problem?
She's an evil vile witch! I didn't want them, but she wanted more, more, MORE, MORE, MORE, MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORE!
Just look at zhis and forget about the fact zhat in a generation or two, your progeny vill outnumber zee stars!
Emmett: *gibbers*
Mom, what the hell is wrong with dad?
Oh, he's just having a bit of a midlife crisis.
He's shouting out to nobody that he wants to shove us all back up your--
Shh, your little brother's right there!
You're right, Mr.--
--Doctor--
You're right, Dr. Whackjob! I NEED to live long enough to see all of those brats move out!
Now let's all be sure to wish your father a happy birthday!
Deimos so just started choking.
What the hell is wrong with this family?
BECAUSE THAT HELPS
What a nice, peaceful family--Zoe, are you grabbing her ASS?
Mom, thanks to you, I'm totally closer to being the smartest person on the planet.
Tyche, I don't think there's really a way to measure that...
Sure there is. I know there isn't anyone smarter than me, and if that IS true, if the smartest person thinks she's the smartest person, then it has to be right? Right?
Tyche doesn't have that many logic points right now.
Emmett, could you try to care?
I could try, but I won't.
I wonder what it's like to have a Daddy who doesn't think you ruined his life...
Harmonia! D: D:
I think Eros is going to find he has a lot of common ground with his siblings. Better hope I feel like putting a tank in the dorm, hmm?
They might have to develop hobbies if I don't!
Tyche. C'mere a sec.
Stop going around bragging about how smart you are, it's so irritating!
How dare you! I totally just erased you from my "People to go against the wall after the revolution puts me on top as Dictatrix Tyche Randolph," but you are so back on it!
...somehow, I'm not scared.
And we observe displeasure in its natural habitat, surrounded by many unplanned children in a small house in suburbia--
Hey, I planned all those children!
Sorry, Aphrodite.
CELEBRATE GOOD TIMES, C'MON
THERE'S A PARTY GOING ON
CELE--
What the hell, Dad? We don't even have a lamp that takes a shade like that.
Uh, it's dance party time, Tyche! AH-Ah-Ah-Staying ALIIIIIIIIIIIiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiive!
Why don't we try something like this?
Like this?
Much more low key, and less of a chance that you'll accidentally injure yourself or us.
Dei, where the hell is Mom going?
This might surprise you, Tyche, but she actually still has a job.
I didn't know they could give you that many consecutive years of maternity leave.
Aw, man. At least he wasn't a Romance sim, so he wasn't too upset by it.
Wait, does this mean I'm going to have the entire house to myself?
I better not be seeing the lampshade hat again.
Even if the kids are gone, you've got NEIGHBORS.
Oh, he just didn't want anyone to know that he enjoys the bubbles.
Huh, between this and the logic point he got the same day, he might actually get promoted!
Whatever one I pick is wrong.
See?
Deimos has some deep-seated issues, obviously.
While I am proud that you are having nothing to do with her, it begs the question of why you're bringing her home in the first place.
She's the only one of the trips with an A so far. Bitch. Oh, I'm sorry. That's premature.
That was my dance of superiority!
...bitch.
You have any idea how not fun it is to have a sister like Tyche AND a sister like Adrestia?
No, I don't, and I prefer it that way.
You could just play with me! Pretend I'm the cool, fun older sister you never had! How about it?
Absolutely not.
FREEEE. I spent six hours away from my family!
...the family that you just HAD to have, from your Pleasure-asp negative chemistry husband to the triplets that almost killed you.
Absence makes the heart grow fonder!
Mommy, save me from the terrifying stranger!
Terrifying--is Monique here again?
Save me from the terrifying--nevermind. This one needs to be invited in to meet the girls.
Funny story, for some reason I was thinking Laurence Rowan was a Romance sim when I was picking clothes, and I was like "OOOH I HAVE A SHIRTLESS OUTFIT" and then I went to give him stats and he's actually a Knowledge sim, but then I thought it was hilarious to keep the outfit. >.> <.< I have issues.
How about a tickle?
No, leave me ALONE!
HEEEEELLLLLLLLLLP?
Why won't she go away?
Don't you remember me? We went to school together!
Oh yeah! I tried so hard to blank that out of my memory!
Your mother is distracting her, Harmonia, it's safe to run to the bathroom.
Artemis? Do you know how to get rid of the evidence after a murder?
Where did that cute little girl go?
Oh hey! I didn't know they had a blonde son with alien eyes!
RUN LAURENCE
I don't think thrusting yourself into the wall makes for a clean getaway, Deimos.
Okay, I don't care how hot you are, CREEPING is CREEPING.
Poor Harmonia.
PROOF OF CREEPAGE?
I may regret this, but Tyche, I think you should go talk to the attractive potential creep in the living room. Pleeeeeease?
Sushi is the perfect ISBI dinner. No actual cooking involved~
The brunette over there? Not as hot as you are.
But you didn't say she wasn't hot. Begone.
I--but--YOU ARE A GODDESS.
Yeah, so's my whole family. Heard THAT line before. Bye.
Tyche's...stone-cold.
YAY PROMOTION
STATUETTE OF NEVER-HAVING TEMPTING ME
I COULD PUT IT IN THE NURSERY
WAAAAAAAAAANT
I've seen enough. My brother? A psychopath.
That's harsh wording.
He's been systematically attempting to infest the entire house with virulent pathogens! He's invited strangers known for having delusions into our house!
And how come no one sees the hotbed of paranormal activity here but me?
I don't know, but it's really pissing off your grandmother, let me tell you.
Mom. I know you don't want to hear something this horrible, but I think that it's best you hear it from me. I think Adrestia's mentally deficient.
...and why is that?
Shouldn't a ten-year-old be over wetting the bed?
She always makes it on time, she says!
I'm just saying that even with poor hygeine practices, it's unusual that Phobos smells so much. Have you ever noticed he sleeps on the bottom bunk?
There you go, Violet. Deimos just kicked your grave. Don't you feel the communication ringing through down to your casket?
(muffled) NO!
Tyche. So cool. So confident. So completely clueless.
I think we should try and kill her. In her sleep would probably be the quietest way.
How can we kill her in her sleep if she never does?
We could make her sleep with the fishes!
But I like the fishes! I could never do that to them.
Oh, nevermind.
ONE MORE LEAVES THE NEST
College! The place where my life began to take a horrible downward spiral.
For many reasons, I was hoping the boys would be accompanited by their mother.
Promise me you'll stay away from any crazy aliens?
WHOA HOLD UP HOW IS A KNOWLEDGE SIM MOVING INTO A DORM GROWING UP BAD?
Anteros is platinum immediately after aging up badly. I don't know what this means for him.
IT MEANS HIS SHIRT IS FREAKING AWESOME
Eros.
It's got the same root as the word ~erotic~ for a reason.
DEIMOS! Uh, that's a bit silly. Let's try it again.
Deimos! ...christ, snap out of it and give me a proper headshot.
~DEIMOS~
*cough*douche*cough*
As we leave the eldest boys in uni, let's contemplate how awesome it is that when Eros is the active sim I get like a picture-in-picture HOT effect.
I anticipate the next update will take us to the point of the rest of the kids being in Uni, and an heir poll. Huzzah!

I am playing more Delines next. I will hopefully play the Laurinces soonish. My idea is to get them to Generation 14 by the time the Delines Gen 10 are uni-bound, and I will play them all together in college. Doesn't that sound exciting?
