Fayism

Weddings! Toddlers!  Death!  Totally awesome machinery!  We have it all here at the Wicked Short ISBI!  Last chapter Oz and Mark had a baby and got engaged, in that order.  Oz became the town pyromaniac, and George came back to claim his beloved bed.  Next up?


Meet the mystery baby!  Barbra appears to have the family's green eyes, and red hair from the Rotter side of the tree.  I think she's adorable!


Next up is Abdul.  I queued up his caking and then realized he was still in werewolf form, BEFORE HE BLEW OUT THE CANDLES!  So I was able to cancel the action.  See?  I'm learning!  Sort of.




"So what does this thing actually do?"

"Just blow the candles out. The cake doesn't DO anything."

SHUT UP!  And Emanuel?  Get your junk out of our counters!!

"But, there's pie!"

You're not Jim Levenstein, GET OUT!!


Abdul rolled "eco-friendly", and his LTW is Alchemy Artisan.   Out you go, kid!


Octavio:  "Nothing to see here.  I'd use the sink by the door."

I hate it when Grape is right.


 Octavio wasn't done yet.


Mark: "Musicsoooohypnotic.  Mustnotgotobed.  Mustlistentomuuuuuussssssiiiiiiicccccc."


Oz decided it was the perfect time to get married.  Hey Octavio, how about some Chopin, or Liszt?

"I don't think so."

Elton John?

"'Fraid not."

Raffi?

"I only know 'Chopsticks' or 'Mary Had A Little Lamb'.  I'm just starting out, here."

My sims have the MOST ROMANTIC weddings.


Oz: "Woohoo?  Then you go to sleep?"

Mark: "Sounds great to me!"



What?  No athletics job?  Abdul, did you NOT get the memo?



MVP loves his granddaughter, unfortunately for her.

"Oh god, I'm dying.  Can't.....breathe."


Hell yeah!  They are worth almost $300,000.


Go Sports!!  kicks the bucket, and in one last act of charity, bequeaths his boyfriend (who only now became an adult.  IKR?  Total shock to me, too) to Mark's jilted ex, Chester.


And Karl II leaves Helena to Abdul.  Helena was stuck as a teen for ages and I didn't realize it.  She became a young adult right before Karl II became an elder, even though they were in high school together.  Since she's a werewolf she may still be a young adult.



The boys had their adult birthdays on the same day.  I really hoped Oz would ditch that haircut, but no such luck.


Maybe Helena changed her mind.


Or not.  I guess the romance wasn't that fresh.


Sweet name, bro!


Molly gets her LTW!  I think this "superstar athlete" ltw is the only one my sims are ever going to get.


Good luck with that, Molly.  Door's locked.  It's about 10am, btw.  Not like I'm keeping Barbra up late.


"W..w..what are you doing?!!?"

"It won't hurt, I promise!  Just hold still."

Someone had a wish to fulfill.


*bud*  *wise*  *er*

If Thinker were still around, Oz, he would not be happy with you turning his granddaughter into a frog.

"Who's Thinker?"


Like Venus before her, Molly gets her LTW in just under the wire. She's not a young elder either, her lifebar has been full for almost a sim week.

"I am so done with all of this."


"Eh.  Not bad."


"Why am I here?"

Poor Grimmy.  I think he does best when someone dies outside in an open field.

"Is it really too much to ask?"


Poor Oz and MVP.

*SOB* "No more autonomous woohoo for me!  Worst.day.ever!"


"THERE you are!!  There's a nice, big yard outside.  You couldn't die out there?"


"Get me out of here, Grim.  This house reeks of dog."

And so went Molly, spouse for the 5th generation. I liked you, Molly.  You didn't annoy me a whole lot.


Yay, Lupin! And it's not some old dude.


Sheeeee's back!




Molly is barely cold.  I think she's still in Oz's inventory, waiting for me to ship her to the graveyard.

So it was right around now that I realized that there are NO GNOMES in the yard. Anywhere.  I'd left them all at the old house.



SOOOOOOOO, it went into an older save, planted a sim I'd made in the house, took the gnomes, along with the mechanical dog toy that Moo had invented, saved the sim to the library, then moved her into the Amadeus house in my current save.


Meet Octavia Emerald, bringer of gnomes.

"Who's the creepy old man?"


NO MVP!!  BAD DOGGIE!!  BAD!! *swats with newspaper*

Octavia deposited her rescued items.  I, in turn, rescued her by moving her in with one of the single sims in town, getting her out of the looney bin.  Spread those awesome genes, Octavia!


Hi guys!  Sorry it took me so long to notice you were missing.


WE GOT A DOG WASHER!!!





"I approve."

He used it all by hisself.


*sits back and waits for the werewolf babies to complete the lupine takeover of Twinbrook*


"You got ANOTHER dog?"

No.  Not that Oz hasn't wished for one, because he has, but no.


*sniff sniff*  "You're right, this one smells like the bathroom after a party."

Barbra is human, btw, don't think I mentioned that.

So Oz wished to turn someone else into a toad.   Who to pick...who to pick.


"Hmmm, this yutz has the same hairstyle as me."

Works for me.


Oh god dammit.  Oz decided to mess with him anyway, just for being difficult.

"And being a fairy."

Quiet, Grape.


"Eloy."

"Oz."

"You know, my Grandma Grape doesn't like fairies."

"So?  Your grandma is an idiot."


"Idiot?  I'll show you an idiot!"

"OMG!!  You can't do this to me!  I'm a fairy!"

Trust me, this will fulfill my wish, not his.


"HA-HA!!  Giant booger spell!!"

"Thththththtis is ddddiscrimination!!"

Oh go suck a pomegranate, or whatever it is you fairies do.




Teenage Roxanne came to the party, too.  You are too cool, Roxy.

"I know."


"You didn't even take a picture of me blowing out the candles."

Pfffft.  Child birthdays are boring.


"Oh yeah?  Just for that, I'm gonna fail on you."

It's so hard to schedule child birthday parties around toddler potty schedules when you can't make the toddler go.


"I'm not even sorry."

Considering she grew up with the "disciplined" trait, I have no trouble believing she did this on purpose.

"Suck it, bitch."

I kind of like her.


Brains became an old man.  You can't really tell by looking at him.  He's a little grayer around the muzzle, but due to his coloring it doesn't much show.


"I'm so glad my great-great-great-great grandson is being proactive about all the damn fairies in this town.  About time somebody took a stand."

"I'm getting tired of listening to your bigoted rants, Mother."

"Sorry dear, can't hear you.  Busy getting shit-faced."


Oh dear, looks like they've got bugs.


Zed accumulated enough points for the tricked out bed.


This....


plus this.....


equals this!  Congrats, Lupin!


Oz and Mark got a new one, too, now that Barbra is a child. Max is named after Max Brooks, author of World War Z.


Sah-WEET!!  This is the farthest I've gotten with the magic. Very cool.

Now, I've always wondered what Oz actually looks like under that haircut he's had since he was a teen.  I'm sure you have, too.  So I brought him to the mirror so we could find out.


He's cute!  He's a nice mix of both parents.


LOL!!  Hunter is the name of my cat.

Oz had a wish locked in to cast the ice blast on someone, and poor Shana happened to walk by the house, so she became his next victim test subject.  I wasn't going to take a lot of pics because they ended up in the swamp grass, nice routing there, Oz, but then it went down like this....


Huh.  That's never happened before.  I wonder why?  Is it random?  I assume she'll thaw out.


She created quite the puddle.  I started to worry that she would melt like the ice sim sculptures.


Finally, after several sim hours, she broke free.  Oz isn't targeting fairies on purpose, for the most part.  There's just so many of them.  And they live forEVER.


"I was warned about this house.  Stories are told among my people of the ghost of an evil witch who wishes to destroy our kind.  She is named "Great", and she trains her descendents to attack us on sight.  I must escape while I can!"

Well.  That's.........an exaggeration.

From the graveyard:  "Sssssshhhhhhh!!!!  Don't tell her!  It's PERFECT!"


 Zed becomes an elder.

"Whazzat??  Grrrrrrrrrrr!"

Poor guy, got woken up just to sparkle and get old.


Next day Max had her birthday.  Someone looks a lot like her grandpa MVP.  And the hair color that won't quit. No purple eyes this generation.  Maybe the next one.  Meanwhile, at the school....


Going..........


going..........


"Ugh!  Hold the fuck on, I'm not gonna pass out here, there's no room!"

Take your time, we'll wait.


gone.

The poor thing was completely in the red, and not being a werewolf, she didn't stand a chance.  Even after passing out she only got up long enough to get to one of the benches by the school and take a nap.


"Zzzzzzzzz GO AWAY zzzzzzzzZ"

Oz had to call her home later on that evening.


MVP worked on his mixology skills.  He sucks at it.

"SHIT!  Good thing we use the cheap stuff."


"Who the fuck are you, and what the fuck are you doing here?"

Well....aren't you just.......hmmm.

Meet Tonks, Lupin and Gregorio's instant daughter.


I took a peek at her family tree and came to discover that Gregorio is directly related to Mark.


His mother is Mark's older sister, Aubrey.


Gregorio is a vampire, which I did not know until just now.

"OUT of my home."

I'm going, I'm going.  Just one more picture.  Tonks looks a lot like both dads.


But she's definitely a werewolf.

"Art is for hippies and annoying knowitalls!"


Okay Andre, it's been over a sim week.  You really need to shower, now it's just gross.


"Did you hear, mother??  Now we're getting a REPUTATION!  Word around town is we're anti-fairy."


"This is RIDICULOUS and it ends NOW!!  Fairies are not the problem around here, dogs are!!  There are so many dogs on this lot that it might as well be the POUND!"


"WHAT WAS THAT?  Oh, I'm Grape.  I'm an old-fashioned fairy racist.  I don't care how stupid I sound, I just want to hate stinky fairies!  Meh meh meh!!"


"FINE!!  I wash my hands of the whole thing!  I'm not even in this family any more!!"

And Grape is all,


Drama in the graveyard.  Someone else's ghost made another appearance to check out a new object.


"Oh yeah.  This thing is the SHIT.  THIS is my new bed."


"Now I gotta make sure none of them other fuckers try 'n sleep in it."


"STAY THE FUCK AWAY FROM MAH BED OR I WILL EAT YOUR SOUL!!"


*sigh*  at least he kept cooking and didn't set the house on fire.


OZ!!  WTF are you doing?

"What?  Max is awake, I'm getting her out of her crib."

Omg, that poor child.


"Tickle tickle!! We better put a sweater on you.  It seems really breezy in here today."



Also?  They are worth well over $300,000 now.   I allowed the doggies to retire. Well, not MVP.  He needs to get his ass out of the house whenever possible.
