Everson: The Good Life
It's time to leave the Legacy's in peace for a moment and check in on my other legacy family, the Everson's of Strangetown.

Hellllllloooooo, ladies! Didja miss me? didja?

Dionysus...

Hey, chicky lady. I do the commentary on my family, remember? And it's Big D.

Only too well. Fine, fine.. but keep it CLEAN, Dionysus.

Clean, schmean.

Dionysus...

Fine! Clean! Sure! Geez. Women are so darn picky. Ahem! Hellllloooo, ladies! It's Big D here, ready to catch you up with the goings on in my family. Now it's ben a while, so please excuse Big D if he forgets some details. Memory ain't what it used to be (but everything else still works just as good! I promise!).

Let's see. Ah, here's a good picture. That's my old honey, Prof. Laura. She came over to visit one day - 'cause the ladies, they can't have enough of Big D - and before I could warn her, she'd gone out to Cuddles, my cowplant. Poor ol' Cuddles was hungry and.. well.. Prof. Laura was a willing dinner. She haunts around now and she ain't too happy about being dead. Or maybe it's 'cause she can now see all the girls I have over. Ah, well. Spooks don't spook me.




And here I am! Dang, aren't I a stud? Lookit that confidant strut. No wonder the ladies love me!



Here's my dad, haunting for the very first time. I think he was shocked to learn that he was dead. But he's happy that we still have his bed and that he has a wonderful platinum grave.



Oh.. uh.. yeah. This chick - what was her name again? - caught me gettin' all romantical with one of my main girls. She was none too happy 'bout it either.



Bet you're wondering who that stately, sexy primetime hunk is, eh? Well, ladies.. that is yours truely. Yes indeed, Big D has come to the golden years. And boy.. are they ever! I was a bit worried what the local chicks would think about me, now that I've got the silver locks and all.. and they totally dig it! They say I am "wise and experienced." Boy, am I!



This is my boy - my OLDEST boy, anyway, as I have 20 kids - Ra. He's at college, staying in the same dorm room - the Boom Boom Room - that I did. Handsome devil, ain't he? Could win over any girl with just a smile. But he's more of a learnin' sort, always got his nose buried in some book.



Yeah, Ra didn't inherit my natural talent with the ladies. Honestly, son, goofy faces are no way to win a girl over...



.. Or, maybe it is. Guess I'll have to try that one!



Though he could have had any girl, as many girls as he wanted, Ra wanted only one. Her name is Shelby and she has been our grocery delivery girl for a while. Now it looks like she's gunna be my daughter-in-law. She's one hot little momma. Why, I bet I could... wait. Is it OK to think such things about my future daughter-in-law? It's not incest or something, is it? Hrm. Might be better if I just shove those thoughts elsewhere. Just to be safe.

Smart idea, Dionysus.



Thanks! Anyway. Here he is. Ra Everson. Graduacted with a 4.0 GPA. That's my boy!



I'll tell ya. I never thought I was the type to enjoy being a father, but I've really loevd havin' my kids. Especially Ra. Man, he's such a smart kid. Can't believe he's mind sometimes. I'm just insanely proud of him. And on that day, I let him know it.



'Course, I couldn't let the boy go thinking that he was smarter than his old man. So I impressed him with my advanced formula for figurin' out the size of a woman's.. er.. assests.. just by glancing at 'em. He didn't seem to impressed, but I think he was just shocked that his dear ol' dad was so incredibly wise.



Man, I can't go out in public with a lady anymore without another one slapping me silly! It's starting to get a lil' rough on the old noggin.



This old bat just took it too far! She must've had a hundred cans of cat food in that dusty purse!



Ah, this is my little princess, my youngest munchkin, Bast. She's absolutely gorgeous, but she was always worried about acne and the like. I could never pry her away from that mirror!



And here she is, all grown up. Gosh, where does the time go? Seems like only yesterday I was fixin' her bottles.



And here's Ra, fresh home from college. He brought Shelby with him and they were married in a small ceremony in the backyard.



Hey! HEY! Who is that jerk sucking on my baby girl's face?! Who is he?! I want to know where that punk lives so I can bash in his face!

Dionysus.. Bast IS an adult, you know. By the time YOU were her age, you had already been with---

HEY! So? This is HER, not me. Bast is my baby and there is no man good enough for her! NONE! *muttergrumblefume*



Here are Shelby and Bast, some time later. Both are pregnant. Shelby by Ra, of course. I don't know what monster knocked my baby girl up, but when I get my hands on him he'll wish he'd never been born! That lousy, good-for-nothin'...

Ahem. While Dionysus rants and raves, I'll let you all know that Bast is pregnant from alien abduction. I downloaded a hack that allows females to get pregnant from that as well as the males. But I'm not giving myself a point for an alien baby, since it's a cheat.



I'm cool. I'm cool. Honest. Anyway.. this is my first grandchild. My grandson, Odin. Look how small he is! I can't even describe how much I love him. He's amazing. The son of my son. What a concept.



And this is my granddaughter, Bellona. I'll admit to being a bit.. er.. stand-off-ish during Bast's pregnancy, but the arrival of this big-eyed beauty made me forget about killing the entire male population of Strangetown for the moment. Isn't she precious? And she loves her granddad.



Odin, learning how to walk already. I almost wish he could have stayed a baby for a while.. but watching Ra and Shelby try to handle a hyperactive toddler was way too much fun.



Me? It's a grandpa's job to be the fun one, you know. So while they deal with the dirty diapers and screaming at 4am 'cause the kid wants ice cream for breakfast, I get to toss him in the air, give piggyback rides and play with trucks. I love bein' a grandpa!



Just a picture to remind me to say that Bast, a Knowledge sim, maxed all her skills, giving me a point for that. Woo!



Bast and Shelby get along great together. They act just like sisters. Shelby was teachign the family pet brick, Brickston, how to sit. She was so proud when he finally learned to do it - took 2 whole weeks of training! - that she had to show off the trick to Bast. But Bast doesn't get what's so great about it. She just doesn't understand how hard bricks are to train.



Odin, growing up fast. He's a cute kid.. but he loves to prank you. I finally had to direct all his energy into painting because I wasn't sure I could survive another static shock.



Kids these days have such fun toys. Bellona sure seems to enjoy this sit'n'spin thing. Everytime I asked her to let her ol' grandad have a turn, she'd just laugh. That kid needs to learn how to share.



Bellona, a bit older. She's got some odd features, her small, pinched nose and such, but those big dark eyes are wonderful. The boys are going to fall hard for her someday.



Odin and Bellona get along great. Two peas in a pod, those kids. Although Odin has this crazy thing where he likes to watch TV standing on his head. Ra was never too happy about it, though, since he was tryin' to learn new recipies off that Eatin' Channel.

Another reminder pic.. Ra, another Knowledge sim, also maxed all his skills. Yay!



Shelby is all ticked off at Weird Blond Guy because he came over and shoved her. I hate that guy too. He's so rude! Always stealing our newspaper and knocking over our trashcan. I hope a satellite falls on him.

Dionysus!

What? I do.



Poor little Bell'. That kid is a bit weird. She would never go get into her bed of her own accord. I'd always find her curled up on a couch somewhere and I'd have to carry her to bed myself. She was always cranky if she tried to sleep in the great room.. her Uncle Ra was always turning on the stereo when she was trying to sleep.



ARG! Come on, Ra, move it! An old man's bladder ain't what it once was.. I can't make it all the way across the house! Hurry it up!



These grandkids of mine got some weird genes. They'll randomly stop playing.. to CLEAN. Geez. Sometimes I have to force them to stop cleaning and go play outside.



Yup. Big D's still got it. Oh yeah!



Prof. Laura the Spook again. That's our daughter, Morgan, she's thinking about. She must be angry 'cause when she died here, Morgan and our son, Marty, were left alone, 'cause I obviously couldn't bring 'em to live here. Don't know why she's so bent out of shape.. my brother Atlas moved in to care for the kids and they love him to pieces.



I'm still holdin' down the same job. 'Cause I still look good in nothing but a leaf and figure I better flaunt it while I got it while I still can.



Kristen came over to visit me 'cause I'd invited her over. But instead of walking like a normal person, she came up all sneaky-like. That girl has always been a little weird. But she kisses like no one else!



My grandson, Odin, as a teenager. He's all into doing whatever it is at the time that pleases him. Ah, well.. at least he's not another bookworm like his dad. And chicks dig freckles, so he should do real well with the ladies. Oh. By this time, Bast and Bellona had moved out. With Odin approaching adulthood, they figured they wouldn't enjoy the house getting more crowded here in a few years when Odin has to bring home a wife and all. They live just down the street and stop by all the time.



Well, I s'pose I'll leave you all with this picture. Big D, still a stud after all these years! Check out that physique! *sigh* Though, you know, just between you and me.. Big D is startin' to feel a bit worn out. I've had a wonderfully full life. Had lotsa chicks, 20 kids, 2 grandkids, a great job. I gotta wonder what else there is to do. Ah.. why worry about it, right? Big D doesn't need to worry about anything! .. Just don't tell my ladies what I mentioned, eh? If they thought I was getting worn out and tired, they might stop coming over.. and nobody wants that.

'Til next time, Big D out!

Ladies.. I'm not doing anything tonight. If you wanna stop by... *eyebrow waggle*



Dionysus! .. Ugh. There's just no living with him sometimes. Anyway! That's it for this update. Hope y'all enjoyed it, and I apologize if Dionysus offended any of you. That boy... *sighs, shakes head* Stay tuned for a Legacy update coming soon! And not too much longer 'til Pets is out. :D I've got my preorder in, should get it the 18th. I CAN'T WAIT! :D
