I guess I sort of lied on accident when I said there'd be an update by the weekend, sorry about that! My birthday was this past Friday and I thought I'd have time afterwards to post but I guess I was busier than I thought. And then Christmas and Christmas Eve happened, which are always busy days as well. Speaking of which, I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas/Hanukah/Kwanza/weekend (if you don't celebrate any of those holidays)!

IN THE LAST SPIFFY EPISODE OF THE LA FORCE LEGACY:
There was a fire, but not really because my game crashed. Rogue became an adult, and with that came her midlife crisis. The triplets became teenagers. Saria and Adrienne bonded (and eventually un-bonded) over their buns. Link was a hipster. The teens went to prom and all gained love interests. Link broke up with his because she was, to be frank, quite hideous. Zelda broke up with hers because he was a dirty cheating bastard. Saria kissed hers. Proceed!
I know, it’s terrible, this must be the fourth time the La Forces have moved. But the same thing that happened with the Bifrosts happened here: I changed my default skins (and even deleted my caches) and everybody’s skin still looked pixelated and weird. So I moved them to good ol’ Sunset Valley. It’s actually turned out quite nicely; I find that after playing the same town for a few generations the game has a tendency to lag a bit, so it was nice to start fresh with a new town.
The first thing Adrienne did in the new house was make a beeline for the biggest bedroom.
Adrienne: “This is Rogue and Puck’s room, isn’t it?”
...Yes?
Adrienne: “Shoulda known. Those kids always get the biggest room. Damn them. I mean, who wants pie?!”
Adrienne’s been getting a little sinister with old age. Not gonna lie, I’m slightly concerned. :/
Bowser, on the other hand, has become more fatherly. He’s finally making up for all the time he didn’t spend with his only daughter while she was growing up.
Bowser: “Go long Rogue, this one’s gonna be flying!”
Rogue: “Ow! Yeah, straight into my face! Jeez dad, I think now might be a good time to look into getting glasses.”
Saria chose to scowl in Link’s room, which really wasn’t too out of the ordinary for her.
Saria: “This should’ve been my room, if you ask me.”
Oh god, not you too. It’s the evil of that bun power, I tell ya!
Link decided to read in the living room.
Link: “Because I’m the only one with any kind of culture in this family.”
Zelda went to put food in Navi’s dish, but Adrienne beat her to it.
Adrienne: “Hahaha, ya snooze ya loose, sweetheart!”
Zelda: “Grandma. It’s just cat food. Relax.”
Navi, of course, scratched.
Navi: *scratch scratch*
Since this is the kids’ first weekend in a new town, I sent them out to meet some people. Zelda ran into Devin Keller (
randuhh) and decided to strike up a conversation.
Devin: “WHOA WHOA WHOA WAIT A SEC, you’re a couch potato? That doesn’t fly with me, I’m disciplined. OUR WHOLE FUTURE RELATIONSHIP IS RUINED.” *minus*
Zelda: “Isn’t that a little... dramatic?” *minus*
WHY CAN’T WEEEE BE FRANDS, WHY CAN’T WEEEE BE FRANDS, WHY CAN’T WEEEEE BE FRANDS, WHY CAN’T WEEE BE FRANDS.
Saria met Septimus Weasley (yes,
that Weasley), a boy who was born in-game in one of my other families. They preferred to discuss colors.
Saria: “Hey, I know I just met you, but I feel the need to tell you my favorite color: It’s red. Isn’t that awesome?”
Septimus: “Well, I’m a little partial to green myself, but I see the appeal in red.”
Saria: “GREEN?! You mean to tell me that green is an overall better color than red?! How can we even go on being acquaintances?!”
These kids, I swear.
Septimus: “Oh no, of course not! I just meant that green is my color of personal preference. Red is a great color too, though.”
Saria: “Ohhhh, hahaha, that makes sense. For a second there I thought I had to stop talking to you altogether!”
Septimus: “Heaven forbid!”
Link started talking to Penelope Goshawk, yet another sim born in-game from a different family of mine.
Link: “Hi, I’m Link, and my family just moved here. I’m pretty sure I’m the hottest and coolest guy in this hellhole town. You seem to be the prettiest girl, so naturally I came to the conclusion that we should be together.”
Penelope: “Ha, you’re funny. Actually my dad and I just moved here as well, so maybe we can explore the town together sometime..?”
Link: “That would be amazing.”
Back over by Zelda and Devin, things were looking a little better than before. For one thing, they’re actually smiling at each other now, and that’s always nice.
Zelda: “I really hope to marry the love of my life someday, y’know, when I’m a little older of course.”
Devin: “You know, I read in the paper that half of marriages these days end in divorce...”
Zelda: “Um.. well, I really like watching TV, and I’ve got all kinds of favorite shows-”
Devin: “TV’s nice once in a while, but I’d rather be outside, chasing butterflies and getting some fresh air, you know?”
I’m just going to hope assume that opposites attract in this case?
On the other hand, Saria and Septimus seemed to have quite a bit in common.
Saria: “Wait a second. You’re grumpy too?”
Septimus: “The grumpiest.”
Saria:
Meanwhile, Link and Penelope were giggling about something.
Link: “My grandpa was a manwhore in his day, isn’t that HILARIOUS?”
Penelope: “LOLOL.”
Zelda and Devin actually seemed to be getting somewhere!
Zelda: Please please please like the flowers I am so tired I just want to go home oh god.
Devin: *sniiiiiiiff* “These are great, Zelda. Listen, I’ve got to get to bed but I’ll call you tomorrow? We should hang out again soon.”
Zelda: YESSSSSSS.
And so the three of them headed home for dinner.
Zelda: “Mom, I’m glad we moved. I’m really starting to like it here.”
Link: “Same here. The girls here are way hotter than the girls in Barnacle Bay. At least one of them is. And she likes me. And that’s awesome. So. Yeah.”
Saria: “I’m wif bof of ya.” *slobby slob is slobby*
Rogue: “Well, I’m glad to hear it. Except that retort about the girls here, Link. Keep it in your pants.”
Saria: “OWNED.”
Bowser: “Aw shit, and I really wanted to eat that hot dog.”
BOWSER NOOOOOOOOOO. )’:
I don’t know if I can handle this. Adrienne looks absolutely heartbroken. )’:
grim!Anakin: “CHRIST, THIS FAMILY KEEPS MOVING ON ME. Do you realize how hard it is to locate the La Force residence, even with such an uncommon name? I mean REALLY. How many times has this been now?! You guys just left my grave at the old place! YOU ABANDONED ME!”
Bowser: “Well, you’re here now, so... isn’t that all that matters?”
grim!Anakin: “NO. FUCK YOU.”
R.I.P. Bowser La Force, age 93.
Bowser was a good sim. Even after whoring himself out to basically all of Barnacle Bay, I will always see him as the gawky teenage boy back in Twinbrook. He ended up being a good dad and a sweet grandfather in the end, and will certainly be greatly missed.
): I miss him already.
On the bright side, OMGSH YOU GUYS MY FIRST DEER SJDKHFKLHSDFHLKSD
I sent Saria outside to check it out.
Saria: “I’m devastated by my grandfather’s death, but at the same time captivated by the majesty of this beautiful creature...”
Saria: “I would very much like to touch it. Maybe if I sneak up real quiet-like...”
Saria: “..Darn.”
Deer: “Chicken leg sounds FABULOUS RIGHT NOW.”
Stop it you two, you’re gonna make me cry. )’:
The adults went away on one of those “free vacations” so TEEN PARTY TIME AW YEAH except I only invited love interests lolol my intentions are not transparent in the slightest.
I love this picture because while Link’s all “DAYUM PENELOPE I LIKE YOUR FACE” and Zelda’s all “DEVIN YOU SO FINE MHM”, Saria is straight up “DUDE FRYING PANS AMIRITE”.
Everybody basically flirted the entire time.
Link: “That ironic t-shirt you’re wearing would look better on my floor, if you know what I mean.”
Penelope: “..I’m not wearing an ironic t-shirt? Or a t-shirt at all, for that manner.”
Link: “Dammit. That’s the absolute last time I google ‘hipster pickup lines’.”
Penelope: “You know what though? You’re still adorable.”
Even with terrible pickup lines, it seems Link is still popular with ~the ladies.
Devin: “I’m sorry if it seems like we kind of got off on the wrong foot, Zelda. I guess I was just having an off-day. Is there any way I can make it up to you?”
Zelda: “You being here is plenty, Devin.”
Awww you guuuuyyys. ♥
Over by Saria and Septimus, Saria seemed to be kinda sorta getting the hang of flirting maybe.
Saria: “I like your hat. It’s niiiiiiice.”
Septimus: “Well I like your bun, which also happens to be nice.”
Match made in heaven right here.
Link’s absolute awesome in every way (his words) evening with Penelope was interrupted with a phone call.
Link: “Hello? Yes, this is the La Force residence. ...A noise complaint? But we don’t even own a stereo! I mean yes, we own a TV, but I don’t think any of us are even thinking about that right now- ...Er, yes m’am.”
Link: “YOU GUYS YOU GUYS THE POPO’S A-COMING, GET THE FUCK OUT!”
Penelope: “Alright hold on a sec, lemme kill this bitch real quick.”
Link: “NOOOOO YOU GOTTA GO NOW. OH GOD OH GOD MY PARENTS ARE GOING TO KILL ME.”
Penelope: “And this dragon’s gonna kill ME if you don’t shut up soon.”
Aw damn, shit’s goin’ dowwwwwn.
Also LOOK YOU GUYS MY FIRST HORSE AND MY GAME DIDN’T EVEN CRASH KSDJHFK;HSFLEKFJLKD :*
ANYWAY getting back to business.
PopoLady: “Young man, I got several complaints from your neighbors of what they described as ‘loud flirting’. Can you confirm or deny that any such thing took place?”
Link: “Um.. all I can say is I’ve just been enjoying a quiet evening here with my twin sisters. I don’t even have friends to invite over. I’m uh, I’m a l-lo. I’m a los. I’m a looo-oo. LOSER. Ahem. I’m a loser.” CHRIST ALMIGHTY THAT’S THE HARDEST THING I’VE EVER HAD TO DO.
PopoLady: “Alright, I believe you. I apologize for the mistake. Anyway, I better be going. Eat your vegetables and whatnot, and have a good night.”
Link: “...You too.”
Zelda: “If mom and dad ask, we’ve been up here doing our homework the entire night.”
Saria: “You got it, dude.”
SO MANY HORSES KSJDHFKJHSDVBNMXCVL /I am such a girl
After the teens had gone to school the next morning, I was surprised to find that the adults had not yet returned from their vacation. The only one left in the whole house was Navi. And so now, I present to you ‘A Day in the Life of Navi’:
Immediately upon waking up, Navi makes her way to the bathroom where she has a nice little sip from the toilet.
She then returns to her corner of the house and scratches on her scratching post.
After that, she rolls around on the floor and thinks about how much fun she’s having.
She then does it a second time.
She meows at nothing in particular.
She watches a fly intently.
And then she proceeds to roll around on the floor a third time. That’s her favorite way to pass time, I think.
Soon afterwards, she greets the kids when they come home from school.
After that, she spends her time productively by rolling around on the floor a fourth time.
And finally, she begins her evening by guarding her food dish. This concludes ‘A Day in the Life of Navi’.
This also concludes this chapter. Join us in the next episode for:
