Randolph Legacy, Generation 6.5!

May 26, 2010 23:02

Can you believe it? No VIKINGS in sight (yet)! I do see steezie_k's Gigi Creelman as our current spouse, and plenty of sims from pixel_trade.





Last time, Athena made lots of silly faces. Nyx became a cute toddler lacking XD eyes. It was determined that Asklepios and Hermes were not facially identical! Ananke was VERY. VERY. VERY. bored. Monique Spicoli showed up on the day the boys finally went away to Uni. Gigi brought home Sherlock Hexx and banged him. Nyx grew up horribly into a maladjusted child, and Deimos took a little Elixir of Life to ensure he'll be alive to see six children married off. Ananke and Gaea grew into teens. BOTH are Fortune sims, just like their set of twin brothers. Ananke discovered there were entertaining things in her life/house: after she primped at least sixteen times in a row, she realized there had been a television in their living room her entire life.



My life is horrible!

Look, you know what? Your mother is no longer in a position to be miscarrying children and dying from pregnancy, so you have it a lot better than your siblings!



I hate this room! I hate this family! I hate everything!

Makes you wonder how Gaea can stand being in the same room with her.

The computer's here. No one can take it away from me now.

Oh, that's right.



I'm so happy you made breakfast. That's so thoughtful.

Gigi...you never have to cook. Deimos always does it.


Isn't it about time you focused on getting promoted, though?

Right, because you're in such dire financial straits here.



I bet I'll be better than you when I grow up!

Sure you will, Nyx.

How are we qualifying this? She's not going to be prettier than Gaea. It's not looking like she'll be SANER than Gaea...



I love playing Red Hands with you, Dad! :D

:D

WHY ISN'T ANYONE PAYING ATTENTION TO MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE?!

Man, I wonder where Nyx gets that from?



WHY ISN'T ANYONE PAYING ATTENTION TO THE FLIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES?!?!

Mom. Calm down.



Gaea only needs to primp once. Precisely 1/16th the amount her twin does.



I bet we could sell Nyx into child-slavery and make some money out of it!



While you DO look cute in your little Mickey Mouse undies, Athena, don't get me wrong--is that really appropriate wear for you to get homework tutoring in?



What? I just told her that I thought I was the best looking one in the family.

I'd be careful. Athena kicked your ass before, don't drive her to do it again.



I speak nothing but the truth.

All this time, and you're still annoying. I would've thought you'd have grown up by now.



HI DAD!

That does it. Athena, are you huffing?



What happened to my life? Where did it all go?

Gigi has suffered from an unrecoverable system error.



For the last time, Gaea, I don't want to hear about you. Your life. How awesome you are. I could not give less of a fuck. You were a jerk when we were kids, you're self-centered now, I'm done.



What? You still remember all of that stuff? I thought only elephants never forget!

Elephants, Athena Randolph, and ME.



OH GODDAMN JUST GET OVER IT ALREADY



I feel kinda weird.



Gigi, if you're trying to give me the finger, you're doing it wrong.



I misinterpreted the pop-up when I first saw it. I was parsing it somewhere along the lines of: "Let's hope that there's not much to the saying 'a long life's not necessarily a happy life.'"



Gigi, at least you're looking good! A bit different, but good!



And Deimos seems to agree~~



Don't make me separate you two!



Athena and Gaea are now magically BFFFFFFFs.

I don't even know how this works.



Ananke believes that noogies pass for productive social discourse.



I have my goals set high--I'm going to be the hottest person at La Fiesta Tech.

SHUT UP, GAEA!



I am so sick of this family FUCK THIS PAINTING

Family sim teens tend to go loony tunes near the end of their teenhood in an ISBI. It's hard to get them first kisses/first loves when you can't control them.



I know what we need! A family vacation! We'll leave Nyx here.

I have neither the will nor the means to do such a thing, Ananke.



YOU KICKED OVER THE TRASH CAN, ATHENA



I didn't want to do it! It was like I was being compelled by some sort of outside force.

...actually, this is exactly opposite of how things work in this game.



What would Cherry Drop be doing here with such a devious look on her face for?



FUCK YOU BITCH YOU PUT THAT PAPER DOWN RIGHT NOW

All of them have this obsession, compulsion...to steal newspapers.



That newspaper is for other members of my family to steal!



Mom, I think you need to stop this. You look really bad when you go crazy like this. Think about how it looks like for me to have a mother that is bad-looking AND crazy.



So, Dad, can you describe in...oh, five paragraphs, the effects that the Industrial Revolution had on the environment?

Can't you ever do your own homework, Ananke?



You know what, Athena? Keep at it. Maybe that creepy doll painting will become a Jackson Pollock recreation and stop being creepy.



Nyx decided to spend several hours bouncing on the bed, and her temperature gauge went up really high.

I hate Nyx.



I think you just need some sort of outlet, besides going nuts, to express your unhappiness and lack of fulfillment. Have you thought about taking up a stringed instrument?



Deimos tried to lure Nyx into the pool to cool off, but she would have none of it.

I hate Nyx.



After a million interruptions, Deimos finally maxes Creativity so he can get his next promotion.



What do you mean you don't want to go primp with me?

...I just have other hobbies, Ananke.



Julian Amore decides that he needs to pause. Right here.

It's not like the teen girls can autonomously invite you in, anyway.



Though Athena is about to make that transition to Uni.



Everyone actually came to say goodbye. It was kinda sweet.



Then Nyx begged her father for attention, Gigi cried at the remnants of her life slipping away, and the twins discuss how good it is that their mother can't have any more kids to fill up the empty nest.



What do you mean, primping more than once a day is excessive?

Well, you just look once in the morning to make sure you're still the hottest, and then move on to other things. Except you can't have the computer. That's mine.

WHY WON'T ANYONE PLAY WITH ME?!?!



If you really were the hottest, instead of me, you'd want to primp more often to catch more glimpses of yourself.

I don't care what delusions of grandeur you want to have as long as you promise you'll leave my computer alone.

ME ME ME ME DAMMIT PLAY WITH MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE



Thanks, Ulric.



Ananke is pretty neat, so she does a lot of autonomous cleaning.

I've got my eye on you, Nyx. You can't break the dishes. NYAH.



I don't really think you should give in to her temper tantrums. You'll just encourage her.



Stop being such a brat!

Now you have my un-sarcastic thanks, Ulric!



IT'S NOT MY FAULT I HAVE TO GROW UP IN THE WORST. FAMILY. EVER.

It could be worse. You could be living with the Creelmans.



Oddly enough, Gigi seems to be cheered by the memories of her in-laws.



Maybe both of them are ready to just calm it down a notch?



God, I love television.

What's so interesting about it?

Well, for one, Great Aunt Artemis is apparently on this season of Survivor.

Hoo boy. I hope they've got someone great manning the blur button to prevent her nudity.



Ananke is brave. I'd be afraid Nyx would take my head off!



She spent the whole weekend getting herself into a ridiculous sleep schedule where she goes to bed at 8am and sleeps til 3pm. That'll work out really well when she has to go back to school.



Here. I'm preemptively sating your BURNING CURIOSITY to see how YA Athena turned out. Now shoo.



It's actually never okay, but since it usually ends up being pretty entertaining...



Dance for me, my minion!

You know, it's getting kind of tiring now that there's a second legacy in this neighborhood.

I didn't ask you to stalk my VDSL founder! In fact, I didn't ask you to stalk the Randolphs!



Now sometimes I have trouble with this myself, but Ananke, people generally sleep at NIGHT so they can stay awake during the DAY.



Gigi still cares about her children's academic progress. Which is more than I can say for 99% of legacy parents.



If only this were your LTW, Deimos! Things might have been a whole lot different this generation!



What is this strange feeling coming over me?



OH NO

DEIMOS HAS SUDDENLY DECIDED HIS STYLE WILL BE HOBO-CHIC

OH YEAH AND HE'S OLD



~sigh~ MY role model...



Oh Ares, stay hot.



One A+ and one completed homework assignment and Nyx is automagically not maladjusted any more. How does this work?



I don't know if we can be friends. As the hottest girl in school, I have to be careful just who I associate with, you know.



That's perfectly understandable, Gaea...

Hello? Willowmere police? I'd like to take out a restraining order.



I love this mirror!

Ananke, get OUT of here, I have to pee!



What a nice family picture. Gaea, Deimos, Gigi, and GHOST RUTHER.



The ghosts are telling Nyx to behave better.



GODDAMN IT HEPHAESTUS

SHE NEEDS TO DO HER HOMEWORK



While I probably should have thought to do this before her birthday, I have Deimos take Gigi on a date to get her mood up. It mostly worked!



Gigi...I can't reach you if you sit in the backseat.

Oh...oops!



Like stupid mother, like stupid daughter.



Elijah Creelman, your family has contributed more than enough to this legacy. Run away. Run far, far away.



One of the girls brought home Ciaran Bean Sidhe home. (Obviously, Gigi got the restraining order against Monique through.)



Ciaran does not want to dance with Gaea.



I don't understand. I'm the best looking girl in school. Why wouldn't you dance with me? WHY? T_________T



I hope you weren't trying to convince me to change my mind. I'm pretty sure I made the right decision.



FINE. I DON'T WANT TO DANCE WITH YOU EITHER, NOW THAT I THINK ABOUT IT.

Nyx...?



I LIKE HIM!

I have a feeling that it wouldn't be mutual, even if you were the right age.



He poked her, and laughed about it. >:|



I don't know that I'd want to interrupt Ananke right now if I were either one of you...



Get him back!



Ananke's come on was less than welcome...guys, if memory serves me correctly, Ciaran is--wait, he also has rejected male advances, maybe he's asexual.



Get away from me, you and your foul grabby hands!



Both of you! I hate both of you!

Then why did you come home with us?

I have no idea!



He beaned Gaea in the face with a water balloon, and she cried. :(



All of them LOVE scaring Nyx. If she were just a little nicer, I might have felt worse about it.



Ulric got Deimos at about the same time.

TWO HAUNTINGS, ONE BLADDER FAILURE. WHOSE WAS IT?



It was Nyx's.



Deimos made ginormous baklava for the family. Seriously, baklava should not be cut into pieces the size of one's face. That's just excessive.



Gigi sat down and actually earned back the skill points she lost in a chance card an update or two ago.



I forgot I intended to get Nyx into private school over the last weekend. It took a few days until Deimos's work schedule had him home at the right time. (I don't know why I bothered, in hindsight.)



I didn't know the headmaster was coming for dinner. I got hungry, so I just thought I could do the leftover thing. Why didn't you tell me, Dad?

...don't worry so much, Ananke.



WOOHOO, a nutritious meal!

Well, this isn't weird at all.



Isn't it wonderful how the girls don't act their age?



I'm sure Nyx will be a fine addition to our institution. Whichever one she is.

Nyx actually slept through the whole shindig. :D



Gaea broke the computer, which pissed Gigi off.

You monopolize the thing, and now you've prevented everyone else from using it! You should be ashamed of yourself!



It's not like I did it on purpose.

You and the computer need to spend some time apart, anyway.



It's been a long time since I made EasyBake, but I'm pretty sure you add water to a powder packet and it gets heated up by the 40-watt appliance bulb inside the oven.



I don't think the worrying is a good look for you, even if you're taking the time to practice it now.



At least she looks happier doing this!



Snorri Sowhut apparently goes to the same HOBO COUTURE store as Deimos!



And there's Fedora Behr! Her name is like a hat and so is her hair~ :3



Nyx's birthday! Finally!



She aged up into a decent outfit...too bad we won't be seeing much of it.



NOT FORTUNE

This makes me kinda happy.



Cake makes me kinda happy.

She grew up well, this time.



Here is her orientation!



Bye Gaea!

Don't look so excited, Nyx, your taxi is next.



You mean I don't get to have my parents all to myself for once?

This generation has gone on long enough. Maybe you'll luck out and win the heir poll.



JUST BECAUSE NYX IS GONE DOESN'T MEAN I WANT YOU TO FIND SOMEONE ELSE TO BE AN ASSHOLE TO, HEPH



And (before going to bed), Deimos spends some time jamming on the bongos like the beatnik he is.



So when do I get to see six kids married off?

When six of their university courses are over, for good or ill. We'll see you in a bit, Deimos, you were a good torch holder!!

Poll Randolph Generation 6 Heir

Viking Death Squad next! It's taken me a little time to adapt a couple of things, namely the mini-challenges, as a few things don't work in my EP configuration and not for a pure ISBI (I can't spend a week fulfilling fears when I'm not allowed to look at more than one person's panel). And...everyone seems to be doing a Norse naming thing. But I already have a mythology filled hoooooooood! It's fitting to have multiple pantheons, ain't it?

I suppose I could do Romans. Or go Norse anyway and start with weirder things than Odin and Hel and such.
