And Then There Were Two More

Last time on the Wicked Short ISBI, George joined Dennis in the Big Dog Park In The Sky.  At some point before he died, he must have barked at the fridge one last time and left us a new freezer bunny.  I didn't notice it until it grouped up with the other gnomes in the garden/graveyard area.  So one of those two guys is "Georgie", named after the now deceased pooch who brought him into existence.

Also, MVP and Molly had their third child, who I managed to not only NOT get a baby picture of, but I also either failed to take, or took and lost, photos of his stats. 

So here he is as a toddler.

"This is a little hard not to take personally."

Hey, I know three things for sure.  His name is Oz, in honor of

He's insane, aaaaaaannnnndddd......... HE GOT GRAPE AND MOO'S PURPLE EYES!!  Those babies skipped a couple generations but THEY'RE BACK!!

It goes without saying (but I'm gonna say it anyway) that this gives him mucho points in the race for torchholder.

*sigh*  Well, he and Molly both are still wishing for a girl.  It's not like he has a LTW to pursue.  Might as well.

"YOUR PARTY SUCKS, YOUR PIZZA HAS ANTS, AND THIS TRASH CAN SMELLS LIKE DOG PEE!!"

Welcome to the party, Sinbad.  Always a joy to have you around.

"Oh fuck off.  The only reason I even come to your parties is to get away from Amy and all those damn kids and dogs."

Meet werewolf Sinbad, everyone.

"I guess no one's coming to the door.  So that'll be $30 for a pizza that's gonna sit on the ground and stink until someone gives in and throws it out."

Of course.

I think Sinbad really comes for the hot tub. 

"I peed in it, FYI."

I'm sure you're not the first and won't be the last.

So yes, another birthday.  Two even!  Exciting!!

Buck gets to go first.  Don't pass out!

"I wish to be even more frustrated with the perpetually broken computer."

He rolled "computer whiz".  He's cute.  He looks like he loves Anime and My Little Pony.  And I don't know WTF is up with this picture, but his eyes are still red.

Butch became a couch potato. 

"As long as the tv doesn't break, I'm good."

It's worth noting that I checked on Alpaca and Go Sports!! during the party, they are both still single.  There has not been much in the way of news on them.

Unable to work his computer whiz trait, Buck makes a go at torchholder by utilizing his neat trait.

"See, I cleaned up all the dirty clothes.  Don't you want to keep me around?"

Honestly, the only things not in his favor right now are his dogginess and his age.  I'll have three kids, including one who will have just become a child if I'm lucky, to get out of the house when he becomes a YA.  I guess it worked out okay for Karl, but he was definitely my favorite of the three I could reasonably choose from.  I really like Oz, too.  And Oz is a witch, not a werewolf.  I'm about done with the furniture wrecking werewolf thing.  MVP has procured a potent cure elixir from the magic shop, so Buck's not completely out of contention yet.

Sitting around in your underwear, however, generally does not work in your favor. 

"Eh, I don't care.  Just move me into a house with a decent tv." 

MVP was going a little stir crazy, so I sent him to the magic shop.  He took Butch, seeing as he's a witch and might like that sort of thing.

"Ugh, somebody farted."

"That was you, Dad, you really ought to chew your food better."

"But if I don't scarf it down, someone's gonna steal it from me."

"Has that EVER happened, Dad?  Even once?"

"Well, not to me, but it happened to my Grandpa Karl!  Great-Grandma Moo stole his food right out from under him.  He didn't even get to sit down."

"That was over a hundred years ago, Dad."

"What's your point?"

So I sent MVP to the register to see what elixirs were up for purchase, and Butch, as always, was left to his own devices.  I wasn't watching him closely but I did see him take something from the bush out back.

Please tell me you didn't.

"What?  They're jelly beans!  What's the worst that could happen?"

Oh I don't know....you could DIE!!

"From a jelly bean?  Give me a break.  Say, can we get a jelly bean bush for home?"

NO!!!

Butch seemed no worse for wear, aside from rolling a few jelly bean related wishes that promptly got binned.

"HEY!  I wanna sit in the bathtub but this weird dog-man thing is in my way!!"

He's your great-great grandson, Grape.  And he's finally fixing that damn shower.

"But where am I supposed to THINK??"

In your grave!  It's morning, GTFO!!

I have to restrain myself from using this gif all.the.time in this legacy, but here you go Grape, you earned it.

MVP had his adult birthday in the living room, with Butch in his underwear.  And judging by the low thought bubble, Oz is there, too. 

Hey!  Somebody actually used that toy stove that's been sitting in the kitchen, gathering dust.  WTG, Butchie!  He didn't eat it but that's okay.  MVP put it in the fridge and ate it later.

"Hmmmm, I'm exhausted, so that means the toddler needs to go to bed, but it seems I can't get into his bedroom."

No shit.  He's not at all tired and his door is locked.  So put him down and put your own ass to bed, BUCK!

Yay!  Maybe we'll get an Alpaca baby after all.

Karl II became a YA.  I pulled him up in CAS so we can see what he looks like.  I think he strongly resembles his donor father. 

Molly had baby #4.

I guess that "girl" wish is going unfulfilled.  Lupin is, of course, named after

Later that night I realized that Molly was no where to be found on the lot.  I clicked over to her and she's across town playing football with some dude.

As far as I know, she never left the house after having Lupin.  I'm not entirely sure how she got out.

"Well, see, this guy asked me out on a date, and instead of clicking the "x" like you always do, you accidently clicked the check mark, so off I went!" 

It's the only explanation I can think of.  She did get asked out on a date, and I swear I clicked the x, but I must not have.  I guess you guys aren't getting the "eternally faithful" moodlet.

I also have no explanation for this.  He wasn't tired, he didn't cry at all, I just looked over at him and he was passed out on the floor.  Can babies be bored into a stupor?  He hadn't been sleeping that long.  I had MVP wake him up.  So much for that sleep schedule.

YO!  Buck!!  Get up and go to school!!

"Zzzzzzhave to learn to make birthday cakezzzzzzZ"

"I want to sit outside the school and do my homework again, but I feel like I'm forgetting something."

Cousin Angelia (Thinker's daughter): "You're gonna get in trouble!!"

"Hi, Butchie!  You need to come home, you're missing your birthday party."

Ah, that'd be it.

"Okay Ozzie, you get to go first!"

Oz rolled "perfectionist".  He also "loves the outdoors", btw.  Since I dropped the ball on that earlier.

"I better get torchholder after all this neglect."

Butch finally made it home.

"I wish to always have my underwear on."

He rolled "never nude".  And it is SO HARD for me to not change this haircut.  It does not suit his face but at all.

"Um, I do believe I am stuck, here."

Sigh.  Resets.  I thought that's why he wasn't doing the laundry like I told him.  I queued it twice more after resetting him.  He kept cancelling it.  WTF, dude!

Oh.  I guess the dumbass simgod, instead of buying a new washer when the old one broke, bought another dryer instead. 

Georgie!!  You're back!  I've missed you!

"And I've missed mah bed!!"

"Aaaahhhhhh, this is what I'm talkin' about."

"Um, ghost dog?  You coming in here and going to sleep has woken us up with your overwhelming silence, we are disturbed."

"Oh shut up, you whiney motherfuckers.  You're keeping me awake."

Here's toddlerfied Lupin.  I am pleased that he got his mother's eyes.  It looks like he may have MVP's hair.  Time will tell.

One evening I noticed Oz hadn't come home after school (yeah, it takes a couple of hours at least, I'm so attentive), so I went looking for him.  Turns out he was on the school playground, playing in his underwear.

"This is so fun!  Too bad there's no one else here."

You know, I'm not against hanging out in your underwear, per se, but you really should come home and do it in front of the tv like Butch.

"But then I'm not getting the fresh air!  I like being outside!"

Home.Now.

MVP took Lupin to the magic shop this time.  Beats wrecking the furniture at home.

School stalking time.

This is Agustin (yeah), Thinker and Dora's kid.

This is Leann, she belongs to Llama and Lance.

And this is their youngest, Dejuan.  He's got the red eyes too!

I'll give you one guess as to who's offspring this is.  He's Mark Bull, son of Sinbad and Amy.

Still don't like coming home after school, eh? 

"Didja see?  I'm wearing pants!"

Hooray for progress.

MVP has managed to skill all the kids.  He hasn't done much of anything else, but the kids got skilled.

"Can you say 'moon', Lupin?  We like the moon!  At least we did.  Until the simgod took it away."

"Moon.  Moon go bye bye!"

It did not.  It's at waxing quarter or something.  I'm taking a zombie break.

Another one for the list.

*sigh*  You didn't go fast enough, Alpaca.

"Your bench is all scratched up."

Thanks for noticing.

Awwww. 

Birthday time! 

"I never got to know Georgie, I wish for my very own dog!"

"I wish to be good-looking AND funny!"

Oz rolled "dog person".  And a hideous haircut. 

Buck rolled "good sense of humor" for his trait, and "Leader of the Free World" for his LTW.  I moved him out and wished him well.  I really think Oz is going to be the next torchholder.

Meanwhile, Lupin was having his own trials and tribulations.

"So you're the new baby, eh?  You've got something I want!"

Nice outfit, Sinbad.

"Hell yeah!  This one's going in my permanent collection."

You don't eat them?

"Nah.  I don't like candy.  I'm much more a "process" guy anyway."

"Waaaaahhhhh!!  My uncle with the stupid name gave that to me!!  I want it back!!"

"Heh-heh, funny story here."

Thanks, GS.  Just go home already.

"The damn door is locked."

It's midnight, Llama.  Party's over.  Go home.

"Naw, I'd rather finish this book, and then complain about how I'm starving and need to pee."

No worries. My simself is like a bad penny, she'll always turn up.

I am a little offended that we weren't invited. 

"I like my furniture nice and unblemished.  Why do you think I've never had kids?"

Hmmmm, time to find out if there's other gay teens in town.

This generation's last toddler grows up.

Awww, he's a nice mix of both parents.  He rolled "over-emotional", just like his Uncle GS.

It's a weekend and the family is going a little crazy, so MVP brought everyone to the pool. 

"Wait, didn't Mom and Lupin come with us?"

"Yeah, they're in the trunk.  We can't afford two cabs."

Actually, they can.  Their net worth is close to $200,000 at this point.

Please tell me you're not diving in your chainmail.

"Of course not!  Don't be stupid."

"There.  Now I'm ready."

Might as well get some mileage out of that formal outfit.

"BANZAI!!"

"Alright Dad, move it, it's my turn!"

I like how Lupin is also diving in his formal outfit.

"Uh-oh, I don't think I like swimming.  I like diving, but not swimming."

He would jump off the board, freak out in the pool, get out, and jump off the board again.  Lather, rinse, repeat.

"Geez, Aunt Llama, why'd you come here to work out?  You coulda gone to the gym."

"I know, sweetie, but Auntie likes being where the camera is."

"AROOOOOOOO!!!"

Wait, now?  At the pool?

"No better place for a pissing contest."

"GRAAWWWRRRRRAAWWWWRRRRRdrool"

"MVP."

"Joshua."

Josh is Kori's son (Dennis' SP fuck up).

"WAX ON!!"

"Wheredhego?"

I think MVP is getting his ass handed to him.

"OWWWW!!"

"That's right bitch, I have UNAGI, and you do not!!"

MVP decided to soak off the humiliation of his loss.

"This is much nicer than the one we have at home."

At home he wears his chainmail in the hot tub.  But in public he's in his werewolf birthday suit.

"I don't want to scratch up this tub, that'd be rude."

And just in case things weren't weird enough,

"This looks great, brah!  Mind if I join ya'?"

"Sure thing, man!  Get in!"

This is what happens when you allow dogs at the pool.

"Yup, I'm just working on my dance moves.  Not looking at my dad and his weird friend skinny dipping in the public pool hot tub."

MVP: *swat swat*  "Damn flies!"

"Didn't come from me, man."

Luckily for Oz, he found a distraction from his father's idiosyncrasies.

"There's a really hot guy dancing behind me, isn't there?"

Yes, yes there is.

"Enjoy the view, boys!"

His name is Kendrick, he's also gay, but he's married to my son, Cecil.  Great.  I'd instant baby them but I'm afraid Goodwin's duck lips will ruin another generation.

"Yes, sweetie, I agree that that boy is just fucking gorgeous, but he's married.  You need to find a nice, single boy closer to your age.  What about that Mark kid?  Sinbad and Amy's son.  He's pretty cute if you can look past that awful sweater he wears."

"Um.......thanks Aunt Llama....I guess.  I don't know a Mark but maybe I'll meet him at school."

"I knew I shoulda sat at the other picnic table."

Poor Lupin.

Speaking of awkward.

"Hey guys!  Mom's plumbob is trying to kill me, do you mind if I join you?"

"Sure son!  But you need to be properly dressed.  No skinny dipping for teenagers."

After bringing everyone home, I sent MVP out to hunt for the first time in ages.

"FREEDOM!!"

Not quite.

"Um, Dad, why are we way out here by this creepy old warehouse?  We're exhausted and starving."

I forgot to break up the group so THEY FOLLOWED HIM ALL THE WAY ACROSS TOWN IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT!!

I wonder why?? I made MVP bring them home and break off the stupid group.

After which he had much better luck.

You know, I've sent sims to the elixir shop hundreds of times and never once noticed the statue in the attic.

CREEPY!!  Nice touch, EA. 

Sweet!!  I decided not to sell it.  MVP still has it in his inventory.

"Do I hafta go to lunch with my sister?"

Yes.  I was going to send you with your nephew, Ari (Llama's son) but he had to go to work.  At the diner, apparently, since he's standing there with routing issues.  So go catch up with Alpaca.

That day,

Woohoo!  Switches from "meet new friends" to "talk to friends".  Get to know your future spouse, sweetie.  Mark is gay, I love that he looks just like Sinbad, and his personality is not offensive.  He's dating Chester (Llama's other son), but Chester is already a young adult.  I put Mark in stasis.  Sorry Chester. You look just like your dad, you'll find another guy.

Buck's getting busy with my daughter.  Awesome!

I did a little more school stalking, there was only one kid of note.

Llama's youngest child, Dejuan, is now a teen.  He's really cute!

Lupin: "C'mon kid, you're coming to my house."

"Um, are you gonna put on pants?"

"Nah.  I don't shower much so it's good to let the breeze blow the stink the away."

I don't know how these guys even make friends.

Oh, we'll be there.

Buck has the house on the tip of the peninsula, I think it may have originally been Amy Bull's.

It's a pretty sweet bachelor pad. 

And MVP got to meet his grandpuppy, Noodle. 

"I pee in da hows tuz I tant det down da stahs."

He's also starving.  I always feel so sorry for the pets in the non-active houses.  There's never anything for them.

"Here you go, little guy!"

"Tanks!  You ah my favowite gwanpa!"

Nice to see you in your party wear, MVP.  I must say, I do like it more than Karl's caveman outfit.

The sweet view from Buck's bedroom window. 

"I really like your house, Buck!"

"Thanks!  It's a great party house."

"How are things with you and Ashley?"

"Really good!  We just got engaged."

"Well congratulations!  Your mother will be excited."

Back at the house,

"It's my birthday!!"

She's not completely alone.  The kids are there somewhere.  I think at least one of them is behind the camera, cheering.

Speaking of birthdays. 

"I wish to be completely non-committal in my employment."

"Wait, is this the guy I'm supposed to marry?"

No, that's Buck.  You're marrying Oz, he's behind you. 

Of course this doesn't help matters.

Quit dicking around, MVP!!

"Oh come on, it'd be funny!!"

Butch rolled "clumsy", and "Jack of All Trades" for his LTW.  I'm also getting used to the hair, it almost goes with his outfit.

So to the surprise of no one, Sinbad decides to be a complete asshole.

MVP: "Come ON man!  There's a picnic table behind you AND a six chair dining table inside."

Sinbad: *snort* "Now why would I want to sit down when I can stand here and block everyone else from getting any cake?  THIS is fun!"

"I just wanna go to bed!"

"My dad is a jackass."

"Ahhh, nothing like a good soak in the hot tub, right son?"

"I really should put a hot tub on my porch.  I've got that awesome view."

Buck: "What IS that smell?"

MVP: *sniff*  "Dammit, Lupin!  Take a shower!!"

So after the party Buck ran home and got hitched.  Make babies, you two!

I'd thought about moving Butch in with Buck, but Buck was getting married and his house isn't that big.  I think I moved Butch into one of the houses by the hospital.

Another day, another cake.

"I wish to not even know what on earth is going on with my brother."

Practiced a little magic, did we?

"There is NOTHING wrong with me, I'm fine!"

Of course you are. Please don't burn yourself to death before I'm able to control you.

"Um, I think something's wrong with my arm."

CUTIE!!  He grew up with a green thumb, planted right up his ass apparently.  You may be an acceptable back up, Lupin, should your brother accidently off himself.

You go, Butchie!  Sophie must be a fairy, she's been around forever.  I'm not sure why she has the Amadeus last name.  I'm pretty sure Dora had the Rodgers last name, but I don't think Sophie belongs to her and Thinker.  I'll have to check.

Finally!  Go Sports!! finds love. 

YES!!!

Old habits die hard.

"What was that?  It's not Dennis, is it?  He's a little possessive of his can."

Dennis went to the graveyard, Karl.  Nice to see you out of that caveman outfit, btw.

So, in an odd turn of events, the household had two new members before the sun set on this day.

"Um, why am I here?"

Well, Mark, first your father died.  Which was not that big of a deal since you have never lived with him.  The problem came when your mother died and there was no one else in your house with you.  I decided not to take my chances with story progression, though hopefully Twallan's mod would not have deleted you.

Welcome to the family, Mark!  You were going to move in soon, anyway.

So we now have Mark living with us.  Then, in the evening, this happened.

Oh, I know what it means.

"Hi, Dad!  Is this my new home?"

"Oh shit, this is gonna be a tough one to explain."

Meet Abdul Amadeus, MVP's child from the past.

"I had to bring him, they kill our kind in ancient Persia."

He's a cool kid.  He fit right in.

"This is a very enjoyable game!  Much better than the magic box on the wall.  I do question the necessity of playing it without trousers, but my brother, Lupin, says that's how it's done around here."

An Amadeus through and through.  I'll make him insane if I get to choose his teen trait, otherwise I'm not going to worry about it.
