Everson: Hey, Look! Not Dead!
So! Here we are! We're going to check in on the Everson's today. Last time, G4 heir Dionysus passed away. He will be missed dearly.. but he did leave behind a lovely platinum Romance urn, so that more than makes up for it!
Here is Shelby, the wife of G5 heir Ra, checking the mail. She's fascinated with that wonderfully scented love letter.. although it's not even for her! The letter was left for Dionysus from his main chicky, Nancy. It should be noted that Nancy also called (two days after Big D's death) and said something to the effect of "Oh, Dionysus isn't home? OK, I'll try again later." Even though she had actually BEEN THERE when he died! I tried to get a screenshot of that, but forgot. It was pretty funny, though. And poor Shelby is probably upset that her husband doesn't send HER pink, scented love letters in the mail (she should complain).
Dionysus died and the family lost a load of friends (they went down to 1 family friend from, like, 12 or 13). It really sucked because Shelby had a LTW to reach the top of the Business career track.. and the day Dionysus died she had been promoted to CEO (one level below the top). So the whole family - Ra, Shelby and Odin - spent the next few days making friends like crazy. And it all paid off! Shelby came home from work and had been promoted to Business Tycoon! She also managed to earn $25,000.. helpful, since she's a Fortune sim and I'm trying to get the IW point for earning $100,000. Go, Shelby!
Here is G6 heir, Odin. Flying a kite. I felt bad for the kid because (Pleasure sim that he is) I don't fill a lot of his wants (I hate those piddly 500 point ones!). So I let him wander around for a few hours doing whatever he wanted. And all he wanted to do was fly the kite. Cute lil' guy, ain't he?
G5 heir, Ra, gets a fright from his grandfather, River. You're looking decidedly evil there, River ol' boy. River is one of the more active ghosts on the lot. Luckily, he's not MEAN.. but he does like to scare when he can.
Birthday time! Ra and Shelby age to elder on the same day. Shelby actually looks pretty nice in her outfit of choice. But Ra.. those PANTS. Remind me to go shopping for you some new clothes.
Odin was outside trimming the two hedges by the door. River jumped out and scared him while he was trimming the first bush. And then the poor kid moves over to the second hedge.. only to have Prof. Laura Mellon (one of Dionysus' lovers, she was eaten by the cowplant on accident) jump out and scare him again! Laura is one of the mean ghosts.. if she doesn't settle down soon, she may find her gravestone in the trash can.
Well. Odin became an adult. You know, in my other legacy family - the Legacy's - they started out with a few odd jaws and big lips, but that all ironed itself out by the 4th or 5th generation. With the Everson's, they have all come out gorgeous from the beginning. But with G5 - Odin and his sister, Bast - I noticed that their jaws seems to go a little funky when they became adults. It wasn't too bad.. just a little odd compared to previous generations. But Odin has taken that "little funky" to another level. His cheeks wonged - yes, wonged, there is no other word for it! - out and it makes him look a bit like he's got stuff crammed in his cheeks. It's so odd.
Odin invited over his friend - the family gardener, Tristen Tan - so he could put the moves on her and get started on that 7th generation. They flirted, and already being close to being best friends, immediately developed a crush on each other. But then Odin started to cry! I have no idea why either. Tristen hadn't rejected him.. and nothing had happened to him earlier in the day. And they were more than a week out from Dionysus' death so he wasn't still mourning (he never mourned much to begin with). Maybe he's sad that his cheeks look funny. Poor guy! It's OK, Odin. Tristen still likes you!
I got Tristen moved in, made over and had Odin (who got a change of clothes) propose. Of course she accepted! She's a Knowledge sim with the LTW to max all skills.. so there's an easy Plat urn for me. :D
And then one of the ghosts happened to be in the room and decided to levitate the microwave, so they both spooked. When they land, they kiss each other.. both still thinking about the microwave. It was pretty funny. XD And then they got married. Which just goes to show that apparently the floating microwave didn't concern them too much.
Poor Odin can't catch a break! Here he was trying to cuddle with his new bride and get down to business - hey, they get the room and bed that used to belong to Dionysus! - when his great grandmother, Tawaret, jumped out of the bed and scared him. I think she's upset that Odin didn't marry a family sim like herself. Ta' probably wants to see another 10 kids in this house (sorry Ta'.. not this gen).
After that interruption - and Tristen probably wondering just what she got herself into with all this "legacy" business - the newlyweds get down to doing what all newlyweds do: making babies. Well.. what all legacy challenge newlyweds do, anyway, as I don't know too many non-sim people who get down to making kids within half an hour of getting married. And sure enough, that gentle lullaby plays. Generation 7 is on the way!
Hey, chicky lady!
AHH!
AHH! Hey, no screaming!
Dionysus?!
Do you know another spirit who is this darn good-lookin'?
...
You gunna ask how I'm doin' or what?
Er.. well, seeing as how you're /dead/, I kinda figured I knew how you were doing.
Just ask, will you?
Alright, alright. So, Dionysus, how are you?
Wonderful! Man, this whole being dead thing sure is more fun than I'd thought it was going to be. Those Hula Babes can't get enough of me! Why just last night I was all stretched out on the biggest, most comfortable bed you could ever imagine and I was kissing one, had a second one all cuddled up on my other side and the third---
Very nice, Dionysus. I'm sure it was wonderful. So what are you doing here, then?
Oh. Well, them Hula Babes all had to go and hula some geezer into the afterlife over in New Sim City. So I figured I'd hop on over here and take over narration for a bit.
I'm doing just fine with that. But thanks anyway.
I hate to say it, boss, but your narration sucks. Honestly. I've checked some of your entries on that Legacy family of yours. Man, do those poor suckers have it rough. Reading their entries is about as fun as reading a math book. I don't want my family to fall victim to that. Plus, the people love me. Gotta give the people what they want (especially if they happen to be hot lookin' ladies).
Fine, fine. Go ahead. But please remember, Dionysus, keep it--
/Clean/, Yeah, fine, whatever. Go nag someone else for a bit. I'll handle this. *clears throat* Hello, ladies and gentlemen (but especially you ladies)! Bet y'all missed Big D, didn't you? Yeah, Big D missed you too. It ain't easy being the hunkiest dead guy around, you know. Those poor Hula Babes have to put up with boring old geezers most of the time. Speaking of babes, if any of you ladies out there happen to, you know, die.. come on over and visit! We'll have fun. *hint hint nudge nudge wink wink*
Dionysus!
Sorry, sorry! Er, anyway. Why don't we check in on what my family has been up to, eh? I haven't exactly been keeping track myself. Been kinda busy. *cough* Let's see. This here is Misty the cat. She was adopted by.. wait a minute! A cat?! How come I never had a cat?! Hey, chicky lady! I wanted a cat! Do you know how much chicks dig a man who owns a cat? How come I never got to have one?!
Sorry, Dionysus. I tried to hold off on playing your family until I'd gotten the Pets expansion, but you were so close to dying that I don't think you would have lasted long enough to get a cat or dog anyway. So sorry.
But that's not fair! I could have had a dog.. or a cat! This reeks of unfairness!
Uh, Dionysus? Aren't you going to narrate?
*sulk*
Oh, come on, Dionysus. Stop being such a baby. Pets are like having a toddler around all the time. You have to watch 'em, even when they're grown up. You wouldn't have liked that kind of responsibility. Now you just get to watch your family deal with it.
*sulk* I guess so. Who'd want a cat that claws up your furniture anyway? I mean, look at that! And those beds don't come cheap!
Oh, hey! What is up with the glowy-eyed mutt? Creepy. They really should call pest control for that thing. Or maybe a vet. They probably have a medication for that.
But what does my beloved grandson, Odin, do? He gives the glowy-eyed thing a belly rub! You know, I think that boy may be a few french fries short of a Happy Meal, if you know what I mean.
We finally come to something that isn't a stupid cat or glowy-eyed dog thing...
Sorry, Dionysus! But this update is kinda full of pet pictures because I focused on them a lot at first. Next update will be better, I promise.
Sure, boss. Anyway. This is my great granddaughter, the 7th generation heiress of the Everson estate, Athena Everson. Isn't she the most adorable thing you have ever seen (except maybe pictures of me as a little squirt)?
Ack! Not again with the darn cats! *grumble* This one here is a male. His name is Bastian. He's pretty cool lookin', though. He's definitely a guy's cat.
Tristen is here doin' the whole "mom" thing, teaching little Athena how to walk. And it looks like Tristen may be pregnant again. Sheesh. What is it with people and kids? Hey, don't look at me like that. I know I had 20 or so.. but those weren't /planned/ you see. Well, except the first 'n last ones.
You see? This is why I don't like kids sometimes. They can be right little monsters when they want to be! Looks like a certain little heiress needs to be put to bed.
Not without a bath first, apparently. And the maid is stuck cleaning out the cat box. Haha! Now I'm glad I didn't have a cat. No doubt that would have been my job. Yuck. Hey, maybe that's why Tristen is pregnant again.. to avoid having to clean out the cat box herself. Smart girl.
Oh, hey! One of the guys up here once showed me how to tune into the minds of those still all alive and kickin'. I've been using it to check in on the ladies I used to mingle with, just t'see if they've been missing me at all.. dreaming about me.. you know, the usual. I wonder if it'd work on cats? Let's see...
Day 237. The smallish creature - I think it may be the kitten of the Two Legs - now seems to be mobile. I shall have to keep a close eye on it.
Wait.. no! This smallish creature is more powerful than it looks! I have been captured! Tell my mate that I love her and that I'm sorry I coughed up a hairball on the bed that one night!
Oh for the love of... this is embarrassing. I hope this isn't being recorded in some way.
Finally! I am free once more! Let it be known that smallish ceratures of the Two Legs are to be avoided at all costs!
Yeah. That was.. interesting? I think I prefer checking in on the thoughts of the ladies. Let's wrap this up, shall we? Tristen finally pops out her kid, a little guy this time. They name him Cronus after some famous God or something who apparently had something to do with castration. Creepy.
There! See, wasn't that whole update made all the more interesting because of me?
You did a nice job, Dionysus. Although I suppose this means I'm not rid of you like I thought I was.
Of course not. Big D has got to keep his fans happy, you know. Especially the ladies out there.
... Right. Anywho! Sorry for the long dry spell there, folks. Between NaNoWriMo, being sick, the holidays and a lack of creativity, updating has been very difficult. But I promise to try and get the next updates out sooner. I should get an update on the Legacy's up (I'm pretty far behind on them, I think) and also an introduction to my new legacy challenge family, the McNeil's. McNeil's might come first, just because I've been playing them so much and I don't want to get too far ahead without getting a post out about them. So stay tuned! More updates are a-coming, I promise!
