silvereriena | The Skittles Legacy 5.2 (Reply)

It's time for more true blue fun with the Skittles... I did not just say that. Oi.

Pics:

We begin this lovely chapter with the two girls enjoying their weekend flying the kites that Grandma built. D'aww.

Uh-oh. Is this going to end badly, like it did for their parents?

Nope. Saved by the weather. Quick kids, get inside!

Irma: Call me anytime, sweet cheeks.

Oh, you are so not a Family Sim.

Amor: My grandmother was education minister, I have the power to save your life with my medicine, my wife is a mad scientist, my son can dig dirt on your school and spread it through his various media sources and my daughter can drain your blood. So, will you let my grandchildren into private school?"

Amor, I think you might want to at least be dressed while addressing him.

Er... Or not. He seems to be enjoying it. ~~Those headmasters are pervs~~.

Amor: So I told my interns that there was no proper way to polish a spleen—
Headmaster: *Still grinning like the Cheshire Cat*
Smurfette: Grandma, where are your pants?

Of course they got in. Victory dance!

Oceane: I thought private school was supposed to give me a better education. I only got a B+!

Riiiight. And you're complaining because...? I was grateful to get a C in math all through high school (even managed to pass with a B+ and will never do it again).

Smurfette's speech bubble has been censored as she seems to be talking about balls to a boy a week before she's considered old enough to talk about these things. For shame, young lady.

Still, she seems to be making friends pretty quickly. If she becomes as popular as Autumn was as a kid, we'll be upping our family friend count into the 20s!

Wha—? Already? That was... quick. I guess it's because Dolores only became platinum AFTER she grew into an elder. She seems as surprised as I am.

Go with Grimm, Dolores. My own grandmother passed away a little over a week ago, and I really don't have the heart to make this lighthearted.

Now Amor, I know this is hard—

Amor: BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWWWW.

Hoo boy. *Puts on earmuffs*

Dolores Skittles (née Hall)
Children: Prune, Plum, Raisin and Eggplant
Grandchildren: Oceane and Smurfette
Family Sim
LTW: Have 3 children graduate from college (Achieved)

Goodbye, Dolores. You cheated Death once, but alas, it is time to go.

It's sad to see a Vampire cry. :'(

*Huggles Raisin*

Irma: *KACHING* I haven't fulfilled my daily primping quota. *Pats hair and receives money*

YOU ARE TOTALLY NOT A FAMILY SIM, YOU— *takes deep breath* You're lucky I married you in for your looks. >___<

Grief and a long day job are taking their toll on Plum, even with the immortal life of the undead she possesses.

Plum: *Snort* Wha? Uh... I was just whispering to the lobster...

Amor: Come on, girls. Finish your homework.
Plum: Mommy. :'(

Oceane: I CAN'T STUDY! THE GRIEF IS TOO MUCH! T____T
Amor: That's nice, dear. *Is clearly going through denial*

Smurfette: Screw homework! I want to get to bed NAO. D:<

*Sigh*

Smurfette: Mom, look! Look! I got an A+!

Girl, why are you acting like you already have PMS? Stop with the mood swings already!

Dagmar the mailwoman was stuck for literally twelve hours at the edge of the lot, her face frozen in a grin. If I didn't know better, I'd say it was the work of the ghosts petrifying her on the spot.

Irma: Yes honey, I know there are a lot of ghosts around the house, but you know that even if they make you wet yourself, they're still your ancestors and they do love you.
Smurfette: Did they ever make you wet yourself, Mom?
Irma: ... No. >_>

ORLY?

Irma: Excuse me, why are you playing with my daughter?

Because you forget she exists have the time, you half-assed "Family Sim".

Irma: Guess who's now a Professional Party Guest? :D
Oceane: Unless you become platinum like my daddies, that's not much to boast about.

I love Oceane's snark, even at such a young age. >:3

OK, I have to ask... do the pet birds live forever until you decide to starve them? Mr. Candyfloss has been around since Soleil was alive and he doesn't seem to be about to choke on his birdseed anytime soon.

No matter how old Sims get, they're still amused by the jack-in-the-box. Best. Sim toy. Evaaarrrr.

Smurfette: So I asked my mom—
Oceane: Which one?
Smurfette: If we could get a rat, and she said no, because they give Vampires hives.

Joke comes from this amazing comic. Go read it, once you're done with this.

Smurfette: So I heard it's your birthday today. Have fun growing hair in weird places, getting acne and possibly becoming a social introvert who will have no memories in her high school yearbook.
Oceane: ...

Oceane: Should I wish for my dear cousin's ultimate demise?

OK, I know everyone in this family who's a blood Skittles has no more than 3 nice points, but there will be no homicides plz... at least for now.

What is it about you people and dreadlocks? Sheesh. But hey, lookin' pretty hot, face-wise.

Oh, shut up. You're staying that way.

I wish I could dive that gracefully. Hmph. >:/

Smurfette: Yay, friendship! :D
Oceane: *Cracks knuckles at the thought of it* X(

Are all Family Sims in this house secretly lying about their aspiration?

Looks like Smurfette is picking up her older cousin's mean attitude. That may be helped by the fact that she only has a 12 or so relationship with her grandmother for some reason. Didn't Amor teach you one of those three things you learn as a toddler?

Smurfette: If I drink this, maybe I will be able to blow bubbles at will!

Oh, the mind of a child.

Smurfette: *Cough cough HAAAACK*

Now go do something useful like cleaning the toilets. Remington is slacking in his duties.

Oceane: I am officially an overachiever! :D

Thank God, your Knowledge Sim dad were driving me up the wall with that want (lol at her uniform. How flattering).

Plum: Contessa! Haven't seen you in a while! I'm enjoying immortality, thinking about you, not being married and having no kids, nope! None at all.

Oh, Plum... >:/

Keep it up, we need to keep all family friends we have. :q

... Well, that's one way to keep the relationship high. Good thing Irma wasn't on the lot; she freaked out over Plum's high school sweetheart's flowers at home.

Charlatan: I sense a previous victim is on the premises.

DON'T. YOU. FUCKING. DARE.

Plum returns home, not pick-pocketed, to jump straight into bed with Irma. I guess now that she has no soul, she don't really care. :P

Oceane jumped into the tub autonomously and started playing. It made me lol.

Oceane: Hark! Dost mine eyes perceive a young man in a blue one piece?

WAT. O_O

Oh, she's talking about her co-worker Alexander Meyer in his uniform. Looks like they're going on a date.

And off we go to the 50s diner, which I'd imagine would be a hotspot for teens. And look, it's that random hot dude everyone wants in their legacy! I forgot his name in my game, but it was something ridiculous.

Oceane: ... And so basically, my family has decided to stick to a color for each generation, and that's why my hair is the color of blueberry candy and I smear my lips with metallic azure.

Alexander: Huh... OK, that makes sense?

Does it, Alexander? Does it really? Because I'm not sure it does, and yet I'm going along with it because it makes my Sims pretty and colorful, but I don't see the deeper meaning.

Why do you Sims insist on pillow slapping your crush? That's not how you get someone to like you! D:

Oceane: That was hot! Come here, gorgeous!

Er... I don't understand these creatures I'm ruling over.

Meanwhile, Joe maxes yet another skill, because he is a Knowledge Sim to a tee. Who knew there was a huge brainiac behind all the perving?

Amor: Unf!

Woman, you shouldn't be doing strenuous exercise at your age!

Oh, it's only fetch. BUT STILL DON'T BREAK YOUR BACK WOMAN.

Watch Smurfette in her last picture of childhood innocence. All that's about to change.

Alright sparkles, do your thing.

Hot.

Smurfette decided to emulate her dear Vampire mother's hairstyle, probably in hopes to be picked for heir.

*Looks at LTW* Oh, for the love of crap.

Smurfette: *farts* XD

You're just making it more difficult to earn your LTW, aren't you? *shakes fist*

YESSSSS. FINALLY. BUILD ME A SERVO, UNDEAD WENCH.

Oh boy. So apparently, Smurfette and Lavender aren't related in the relationship panel, because Maxis has decided that second cousins are far apart enough to start smexing.
After that one flirting session, I sent Lavender home because dammit Smurfette, we only have room for one person in this house with creepy tastes *cough*pedoJoe*cough*

Plum: Goddammit, my daughter's into incest now? Why don't I just let the sun sizzle me and end my misery?
Irma: Oh, hi honey! Did you know that Smurfette was a teenager now?
Plum: ... Just tell yourself they will all die before you...

Other than that, this supposed Romance Sim has just been reading. But why is there a taxi out the window, you ask?

Because the one who is a Family Sim (and therefore is commitment crazy) has decided that she and Alexander should go steady now.

O__o What the...? Is Mr. Meyer a Romance Sim? Sorry that pissed you off man, but it's too late now. Now go bowl.

Oceane: Watch my skills in action, bitches!

She looks like she could be in a relay race right now. *cue Chariots of Fire music*

Nice, girl. *slow clapping*

Gutterball and free ass shot in one picture!

Alexander: Whatever! Bowling sucks anyway!

Sore loser, methinks.

Oceane: You mean I'm going out with a guy who isn't outstanding at everything?

'Fraid so, dear.

Let's have some gratuitous nude Raisin since we haven't seen much of him in this chapter. Mmm... <3

Eggplant: *stalks*

Dude, I know their house is bigger, but it's not like you're living in the founder house (which is not bad, tbh).

Raisin: UNF. MY HUSBAND IS SEXY. I CAN'T STOP SWOONING! 8D <3

Joe: Oh baby, you know what I'm going to do to you tonight. >:] <3

You two are ridiculous.

Amor: Everyone's getting some action but me. All I have left is pinball.
Oceane: That's not true, Grandma. Smurfette is by herself, so she takes after you!
Amor: ... Thank you, dear. Now go before I decide to re-write my will.

Smurfette: So, how friendly have you and Alexander gotten? Like, reaallly friendly? :D

Oceane: Whachoo talkin' about?

Smurfette: Don't you play innocent with me! I'm sexually repressed and want details! >;[

I'm starting to wonder whether she's right. Oceane is out of the house so often that Raisin has taken to chilling in his daughter's bedroom.
Yeah, not creepy at all.

Desperate times call for desperate measures. Give us a hot chick!

Smurfette: My family is loaded beyond compare and so I expect great things.

Melody Tinker? Meh, it's just for a few days anyway.

Not sure this is the best way to introduce your relatives.

Smurfette: D8
Melody: Whut?

Still, things are going well!

... Until Smurfette starts flirting with her OTHER SECOND COUSIN THAT'S IT. NO MORE DATING FOR YOU.

Let's check onto something less creepy. Plum has finished building a Servo! It won't be activated until we have waaayy less people in the house.

Joe: PILLOW FIGHT! :D
Oceane: Dad, wai— *WHOMP*

A father's love... *sniffs*

I see where she gets her crazy expressions from.

Plum: You've grown well, my niece... Very well... *ogles boobs*

Is there an incest bug going around?

Well, this is depressing. Again. :[

Grim: Infinite luaus abound!
Amor: Well, sadness over. Let's hit it!

Amor Skittles
Fortune Sim
LTW: Become Chief of Staff (Achieved)

Grandchildren: Oceane and Smurfette
