The Bifrost Family Awesomesauce Challenge » Gen. 3 Ch. 1
WARNINGS: Language, adult themes, and two weddings.
Previously in The Bifrost Family Awesomesauce Challenge:
Billy passed away. Kala became a teen. Lusa started dating a boy from her class, Andre (AdamSpooky). Nero generally creeped out his crush, Ruth (jossoco). November learned to levitate. Lusa had her eighteenth birthday. An heir poll was had. Onward!
November's still plugging away at that martial arts skill. I think she's at level 7 or 8, so she's almost done! After that, all she has to do is.. learn all compositions for guitar. ._. I feel like the orange generation challenges will never end.
Cornflower's around level 8 for her piano skill, too. She'll complete her LTW real soon, for Billy. <3
Well, you guys voted for them, and you got them! Nero and Lusa are our Generation Black heirs. They'll probably only have one or two children each, and then you'll vote for one heir out of their combined children. As this is the first chapter of the third generation, I'll list the generation challenges here:
Generation Three
Color: Black
Challenge: Extreme Failure
"Black is dark and moody. Black is the absence of light and thus loneliness. Black is fail, at least for the sake of this challenge. Last generation was all about the bright, happy side of life. This generation, what they want doesn't matter... it's all about their failures. And sibling rivalry and discord? The more the better!"
• Sim may not get dream job until they get to the top of the "opposite" career path (Example: wants top of dance, must reach top of military. Use your best judgements for which are opposites. Must do this even if your Sim has a career related LTW)
• Sim must have either the Unlucky or Loser trait
• Black generation Sims have a hard time relating to people. Maybe they should go to the graveyard to find some friends. Must have at least 2 (non-family) ghost friends
Kat decided to have her birthday in the upstairs hallway. Which I appreciate, because the sooner she moves out, the sooner we can get this generation started!
Sexy wardrobe choice.
Bye Kat, be seeing you! And your.. coconuts.
Nero: "I sense a disturbance in the Force... muscles growing... body getting.. sexier."
Oh hot damn. ♥ Except for that hair. The hair has to go.
Oh yes, that's much better. Nero's fifth and final trait is Loser, making him a clumsy, perceptive snob who happens to be both a genius and a loser. His LTW is World Renowned Surgeon. Oh, and I should mention Lusa's LTW as well, since I forgot it in the last chapter. She aspires to be an international super spy. So because of this generation's challenges, I've decided that Nero must reach the top of the singer career before he can ever dream of becoming a doctor, and Lusa has to reach the top of the criminal career (theif branch) before she can join the law enforcement career.
Since this is the start of a new generation, I thought the Bifrosts could use a fresh start in a new home. They're still in Hidden Springs, just on a different lot. House tour time!

It's graduation day for Lusa, and I found September and Jelly Bean's kids down at city hall for Amos's graduation too. He looks just like September, and his sister here is quite pretty.
Andre, the object of Lusa's affection, showed up to graduate as well.
Lusa graduated with honors, and her classmates voted her Most Likely to Become a Rock Star. This supposedly failing generation is off to an awfully sucessful start.
Lusa found Andre after the ceremony.
Lusa: "So what are you gonna do with all your free time now that it won't be consumed by school?"
Andre: "I'm.. not sure. What about you, Lus?"
Lusa: "I've got a little something in mind, actually..."
Lusa: "Andre, I love you more than I've ever loved anything. I can't imagine asking the question I'm about to ask you to anyone else in the whole world. Will you be my husband?"
Andre: "I kind of thought I'd be the one doing the proposing, but yes! Of course I will."
Lusa: "I love you."
Andre: "I love you too."

Meanwhile, back at home, manly man Pumpkin discovered the sprinkler.
Pumpkin: "Tee hee! It tickles." :3
Nero graduated literally the next day, also with high honors. He was selected as Class Valedictorian, and was voted Most Likely to Burn Down His Own Home. These guys really suck at failure, except for the whole "burn down your own house" thing. That fits.
Pumpkin: "HA! NOW THAT YOU'VE GRADUATED YOU HAVE TO GET A JOB AND PAY TAXES AND DO BORING ADULT THINGS! ALSO JELLYFISH."
Nero: "OH GOD SLJF;KSJHFGK."
Lusa's bachelorette party was the next day. Nero and Pumpkin shook their groove thangs respectively.
Nero: "Dad. You're dancing."
Pumpkin: "Well spotted, son."
Nero: "But.. old people aren't supposed to dance I mean damn Dad, you've got some... moves."
Everybody's new favorite thing is the bar. Seriously. It's like they'd fight to the death over who gets to practice their mixology skill first. It's like the Hunger Games for alcoholics.
Kat: "She did not just take my spot at the bar. Uh uh."
Cornflower: *drops drink*
Kala: *is oblivious*
Kat: "OKAY NOW SOMEBODY'S GONNA DIE."
I'm fairly sure Kala fancied the male dancer. She kept inching closer and closer to him while she danced, and always kept her eyes on him.
Kala: "Hey, I just met you, and this is craaazy, but here's my number, so call me mayb-"
Jack Hammer: "lol no you're jailbait."
Pumpkin: "Sweetheart, you've been mixing for hours! Let me have a turn, please?"
November: "No."
Pumpkin: "...If you weren't my wife, I would so go all Katniss on your ass and send an arrow through your eye socket."
November: "That's nice, dear."
Aaaand when the party's over, this is what I'm left with. Do you guys realize you have the ability to clean up after yourselves? DO YOU?!
/neat freak
Nero invited his newly aged-up crush Ruth (jossoco) the next morning.
Nero: "Hey Ruth, it's been a while! Still damn fine beautiful as ever, I see. So how've you been?"
Ruth: "And you're still shallow as ever, I see. But I've been good! I saw you at graduation the other day, and even I have to admit you made a good valedictorian. The way you managed to compare high school to prison without the teachers getting totally pissed at you was pretty impressive."
Nero: "Oh, hahaha. Thanks, it's a gift. I honestly don't know what they were thinking when they named me valedictorian, really. You were robbed, you've always been the smartest girl in our grade! I.. really like that about you."
Ruth: *blushes* "No, you deserved it. But thanks, Nero. That actually means a lot."
Nero: "So do you, I dunno, wanna go out for coffee sometime? Talk about high school for old time's sake?"
Ruth, gurl, I dare you to say no to that face.
Ruth: "Oh... oh Nero, I didn't mean to give you the wrong idea... I'm so sorry."
Nero: "...Go on."
Ruth: "I'm... sort of seeing somebody right now. It's getting pretty serious. I'm really sorry Nero, you're such a nice guy, and maybe if I wasn't involved with someone my answer would be different, but-"
Nero: "Listen, I get it. You don't have to explain yourself. I mean, what was I thinking? You were both the prettiest and the smartest girl in school, and I was just that loser who talked about his weird imaginary friend all the time. You were so far out of my league, how could I be so stupid to expect you to even give me the time of day?"
Ruth: "You know it wasn't like that at all. Okay, so maybe I was popular, and maybe you did talk about your imaginary friend all the time, but I liked you! I mean I really, really, like liked you. I don't know why nothing ever happened between us, but for whatever reason it didn't. And yes, that is one of my regrets."
Nero: "So give me a chance."
Ruth: "Excuse me?"
Nero: "Give me a chance. Ruth, I've liked you since the first day of high school. You were the only one who didn't think I was weird, or at least if you did you had the decency to keep it to yourself. You sat with me in the cafeteria when no one else would. You were just.. always there, and I loved you for that. I wanted to ask you out, to let you know how I felt, but I never thought I stood even the slighest chance. I still don't think I stand a chance, but I dunno, something must have gotten into me today. Just... give me one date, one chance, and if that doesn't change your mind, I swear I'll leave you alone forev-"

Nero: "...You don't know how long I've wanted you to do that."
Ruth: "You don't know how long I've wanted to do that. I'll go see David tomorrow, to tell him it's over."
Nero: "So... is it safe to say that we're officially 'a thing'?"
Ruth: "Yes, you could absolutely say that."
Pumpkin: "GUESS WHO'S GETTING SHIPPED OFF TO BOARDING SCHOOL FIRST THING TOMORROW MORNING?"
Kala: "..Who?"
Pumpkin: "Oh, for the love of- YOU ARE."
Kala: "OH NO!"
Yup, Kala's been enrolled in Le Fromage Art School. It's been getting pretty crowded in the legacy house, what with two heirs, their significant others, November and Pumpkin, and Cornflower still being alive. I like Kala, but it'll be nice having one less sim to worry about. So bye Kala, see you in a few sim!years.
The next morning was Lusa and Andre's wedding. Spam powers activate!
/end spam ♥
After the ceremony, Nero pulled Ruth aside to ask her a verrry important question.
Ruth: "Oh my god Nero, you didn't. We just started dating yesterday! Isn't this a little.."
Nero: "Crazy? A little, yeah."
Ruth: "..I was going to say 'soon', but yes, that too."
Nero: "I know, you're probably right, but I love you. I've always loved you. And maybe I'm getting a little swept up in all the romance with my sister's wedding and all that, but I figure why wait? Why wait when I know I love you, and I know I want to spend the rest of my life with you. So, Ruth Van Damme, will you be my wife?"
Ruth: "My parents are going to kill me, but yes, yes I will!"
Nero: "I love you so much."
Ruth: "I love you too."
And, since Ruth was conveniently in her wedding dress, I figured why the hell not and let them have a private wedding right there.
♥
Andre had a cat, so when he moved in, so did she. Her name is Snowy, and she's non-destructive and noisy. She's adorable, except she had fleas when she moved in and wouldn't let anybody bathe her. |:
The first Generation Purple child should be on its way soon. ♥
Now that he's officially joined the Bifrost clan, I thought I'd list Andre's stats: he's got star quality, loves the outdoors, is a party animal, an animal lover, and is quite charismatic. He enjoys pop music, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, and the color yellow. His LTW is The Ark Builder.
Here are Ruth's as well: she's a neurotic mooch who is both disciplined and lucky, but also happens to be a genius. She likes soul music, lobster thermidor, and the color red. She doesn't have a LTW for some reason in my game.
This has been Nero's favorite past-time since starting married life. I guess a guy just needs to get away from it all once in a while?
Nero: "I'M MOTHERFUCKING JIMI HENDRIX, AWWW YEAH." *makes noises that sound vaguely like the guitar solo in Foxy Lady*
Wellity wellity, look who's expecting. :3
I think I'll leave the chapter at that. Next time:
• Nero (very reluctantly) gets a job delivering sing-a-grams
• Generation 4 babies are born
• Lusa (also very reluctantly) gets a job in the criminal career
• More singing
• More babies
• Seriously
• That's all there is
• Singing and babies
Thank you all so very much for reading, until next time! <3
