silvereriena | Picklesworth Spare Mini-Update 8 (Reply)

Short update on the spares! Death, one fire and birthdays!

So, the elders of Generation 3 started dropping like flies last update, and the end is nigh. Some, like Gareth, had their aspirations in the red and spent their last hours sobbing over their unfulfilled dreams.

Others, like Celeste and Anne-Marie, decided to say "FUCK IT ALL" to their LTWs and actually had fun with one last game of redhands.

Of course, no one can escape Death forever. Not that Celeste didn't try.

Celeste: NO MY HOURGLASS IS INVISIBLE SEE? I'M IMMORTAL
Grim: NICE TRY LADY. IT'S OVER HERE.

Gareth: What's this?
Grim: Your ticket outta here. Now get going! I've got a whole lineup in this house!

Lalita: ALIENS DON'T DIE
Grim: TELL THAT TO THE HOURGLASS WITH YOUR NAME ON IT

Anne-Marie made the least fuss, but yeah, it was pretty much just one death after the other.

Well gee, this is as close to a Game Over as this game can get, eh? xD

Excuse you, this is a newly vacant house for living people, thank you.

Grim: Shut up, I had a long work day.

With Generation 3 laid to rest, we move on to Felicia's house where Dario has come to live! He and Nicola are tight so I thought it'd be good for them to live together (and mooch off of her parents too, ahahaha).

Felicia: I'm not sure how I feel about this.

Well too bad, it reduces the number of spare houses I have to play with to 2 and I'm keeping it that way.

And look, they brought back the sea chantey plague with them! Oooooooh joooooooyyyyyy

Well, it's not like the harmony of the house is really disrupted anyway. The punching bag looks like it is making a distressed face as David pounds away all of his frustrations. THE CRIMINAL LIFE IS VERY STRESSFUL.

We are in need of family friends for career advancement! Who better to call than Melissa Fox, the lovely lei lady who was heart-farting over Dario in the neighbourhood clothing store.

*Puts hands up and backs away* ACR and chemistry bolts are all over this, guys. I'll be in the corner eating coffee wafers.

David *Channeling Crumplebottom for some reason* WHAT ARE YOU CRAZY KIDS DOING IN THE LIVING ROOM

Now now, let's not get into the way of casual flirtations for the sake of career boosting.

Nicola: Gee Dad, don't start acting like a crotchety old man just yet! It's not like it's your birthday or anything!

Actually, that's not true. It is in fact, both of her parents' birthdays! First up is Felicia, who I'm sure will keep her infectiously bright smile even as it wrinkles.

See? She just finds the whole thing HILARIOUS. 8D

David, I was just joking about you becoming a crotchety old bastard. :/

Look, if Dario had no scruples about cheating against his little sister, he won't be welling tears over tricking his elderly aunt. ONE NICE POINT people.

Rosie Claddife makes a cameo! Don't remember inviting her into the house, but perhaps her bladder was just too full to ignore so she ran into the first house to use their facilities. It's okay Rosie, the neighbourhood community forgives you. :)
Either that or she just wants to take a poop in peace where there aren't 6 children clamouring for attention.

D'awww, Nicola is one step ahead to getting closer to her LTW (THIS ENTIRE FAMILY IS INTO CUISINE. WHAT CAN I TELL YOU). While her cousin Dario who I actually played through college is already an executive chef. No pressure or anything, I probably won't get either of them to the top. XD

Amos is this udpate's main house visit! Let's make him as comfortable as he can.

Or... y'know... be a crotchety old bastard to him. David what has happened to you?

Amos: OW! MY NOSTRILS

David: Bwahahaha! Your discomfort makes me giggly!

We interrupt this tomfoolery to bring you: YOUR NEW CRIMINAL MASTERMIND AND HALL OF FAMER.

Felicia is so enthused she's decided to be a rebel and pet a surprisingly well-behaved skunk. Spoiler: She was not given a free Eau De Pepe sample!

Moving on to the house on a downward hill! All 3 kids + Naomi have moved in with Mario and Genevieve and every day is pillowfight day (either that or MUTHAFUCKIN SEA CHANTEYS).

The influx of inhabitants don't stop Mario and Genevieve from creating magical sparkles under the covers while I'm not looking. WOOHOO (literally)!

Naomi: 'Eeeeeeyyyy, hang loose, cuz!
Diana: *Looks thoroughly distressed by the whole thing*

Yeaaah... taking photos in this house is kind of tricky unless they're all upstairs. Time to pack up and move out!

New house which I built pretty hastily, but it'll do! Right next to the new legacy house I've been working on. I'll probably be moving the main family next door soon enough. :3

You now what makes a good housewarming party? A SEA CHANTEY QUARTET God help me

Colin: Isn't it funny how we went to college but dropped out immediately after?
Geoff: WHY MUST YOU REMIND ME 8(

Oh good. I plop you into a new place and all of a sudden it's like you've got to re-learn the ins and outs of a kitchen.

Colin: THERE IS NO ROOM FOR ME TO PROPERLY PANIC DAMMIT.

Fireman: And it was such a lovely spaghetti sauce too! D:

Why yes, it was a long line to the 2 bathrooms after that ordeal.

Fear not, they managed to cook something edible. And then it was wholesome family table time, worthy of being filmed and put in a feel-good commercial.

Naomi is the only one currently not working, so she has the dutiful honour of making family friends! First up: Claude the Brutal who, unlike her brother, she has no beef with.
