Chapter 143: A Sad Farewell


Abi: I think I might have had enough of playing chess for a while G Grandma.
Zahra: Hmm?
Abi: Well, it's just that I like playing with dolls more and all this skilling up is really boring.
Tell me about it. How 'bout you play one more game and then call it quits for the night?
Abi: K watcher.





Helena: Oh Caleb love, I suddenly don't feel very well.
Caleb: I'm right here hun, do you want a drink?




Caleb: Oh no <sobbing> Oh my love.




Grim: I know my way now watcher.
Cool...well, technically not 'cool' 'cos now that it's happening I'm actually quite sad...
Grim: Oh far out! Not you too? It's bad enough that Caleb will be weeping and wailing.
I'm not wailing <sniff>
Grim: Good.





Caleb: Oh watcher, it's too soon... I don't want to live forever if Helena can't be with me.
<Gulp> It gets easier, it does...<incoherent mumbling and sniffing>





Caleb: I can't bear to look.
Grim: <Cheerily> All done, you can look now.





Mac: I think you and I need to have a bit of a chat eh Grim.
Grim: Why do I think this is going to hurt?
Mac: 'cos it is.





Mac: Of all the rotten, low down, stinking, bah humbug things to do. Just after he became immortal you steal his wife away....
Grim: Ouch! Ouch! Ohhh! Ouch!





Julien: Oh dad!
Caleb: I know son, I know.





Grim: <Doing his signature 'face shove'> Look Mac, it's just my job. Stop taking it so personally.





Grim: Oh far out! <panting>




Mac: Here, lemme give you a hand up.





Grim: Aw man! I'm outties.
Mac: Good riddance.





Oh here you are. There's been a bit of chaos downstairs...
Dude: <Sadly> I know. *sigh*
Umm, Mac sort of smashed Grim.
Dude: *Heavy sigh* Poor Caleb and Julien, are they alright?
Sort of.





Dude: You know watcher, I just feel incredibly old. *sigh*
Yeah. Look, I don't really know what to say quite frankly. I mean we're half way, right so I guess that means about three more spouses deaths... or so...I don't know whether to count Cristine in on this or not...
Dude: I didn't factor in all the deaths when I agreed to this you know.
Yeah, me neither.
Dude: Well, I might just sit here for a bit and take some time out. Then I'll go check on Caleb and Julien.
K. Well, I'll go check on Caleb now. Sorry Dude.
Dude: It's ok. *sigh*





You ok? Silly question...
Caleb: I'm not but I will be, eventually.
Yeah. For what it's worth... I really liked Helena, she's been one of the few female sims I've liked really.
Caleb: Thanks.
You're welcome.





Abi: Hey! You're here early!
Eseq: Yeah, I thought I better come around and see if everyone's ok.
Abi: I'm sad but the watcher says that one day we'll all be together again, so that's cool.
Eseq: Hm hmm.
Abi: I got an A in school...
Eseq: Oh congrats! Well done pumpkin!





Eseq: Got to take a photo to mark the occasion eh.
Abi: Cool, everyone's been too sad to talk about my A
Eseq: Smiiiiile.





Eseq: Oh watcher, it's just too bad. First Goopy now Helena.
I know. I really miss Goopy. Now Helena too. *Big sigh* Here's hoping the next chapters happier eh.
Eseq: Eh. <Sadly nods>

[ratchie]

The hardest part of a dynasty is saying goodbye to the mortals.

Rachel

[MarianT]

Aww, good-bye Helena. And go, Mac! I wouldn't mind beating up Grim myself.

[Nettlejuice]

Ah, not Helena =( Eseq and Abi, am I seeing something there?

[Cristina]

Oh I'll miss Helena. She was so sweet. I feel bad for Caleb and Julien. And poor Winston getting that epiphany. It's a hard thing to live with 

[dethdukk]

Rip Helena, you will be missed...  But congratulations on your fourth immortal!  I like the grey and blue hair, it's oddly fitting.  It's nice that Abi is getting to spend some time with her mum.

[hazysmith]

RIP Helena, you will be missed. Loved the dust up with Grim, you always seem to get him into the funniest of situations! But Dude's face at the end.......aww man, its so upsetting to see him so....resigned to the situation. I just want to hug him! 

[KTK10]

Bye Helena, you were are very sweet Sim.. Love the screenshots of Dude, great getting the close ups of him staring at the camera

[Joria]

The good ones always hurt a lot.  I can't imagine what it would be like.  I noticed tombstones.  Do you keep their ghosts around?  Not sure I could handle that.

[Playalot]

Hm, I do try to keep their ghosts around as long as possible. I don't clear my cache files when I have an active ghost, not sure that actually helps but I let them do their ghostly thing until the terrible culling monster comes and takes them away for ever. *sniff* The tombstones you see are all 'empty' now; culled a long time ago.

Thanks for reading everyone. That music sting you get when someone begins to die scares the living daylights outta me! One day it'll be me the reaper gets as I expire from fright.

Abi: You know Ellie we should play dolls now that all the boys are busy.
Ellie: Good idea!





Ellie: Oh yuk! Is that a beetle in the swimming pool?
Abi: Eww, gross! I bet Clyde did that. Ugh!




Ellie: Watch this!
Abi: Clyde...did you put that disgusting beetle in my dolls house pool?
Clyde: Me? No! *Cough*




Cristine: There you are Abi. I've been wanting to talk to you.
Abi: Oh?




Cristine: Yes, I just wanted to tell you how proud I am of your A. You're a good girl.
Abi: Thanks mum!




Abi: I love you mum.
Cristine: There, there, good girl.

Cristine: Can't a girl talk on the phone without you listening in?
Nope.
Cristine: Hello? Privacy please?

Cristine: My boss actually. K now?

Cristine: I'm totally sure. Nope. Yep. Hm hmm. That's me for good. K. Thanks.

Cristine: I've quit. I shouldn't be working as a criminal. I see that now.
Riiiiight, sure you do.
Cristine: I'm not bothered if you don't believe me.
Good, 'cos I don't.




Hey Dude..did you know....
Dude: Hmm...not now...
Oh! Nice sounds.
Dude: Hmm.




Caleb: <<Crrrack>>
Oh wow. That car looks stoopid.
Caleb: Thanks, oh and my backs fine.
I mean...cars don't drive across the road...they go on the road...like facing the other way....
Caleb: It's art.
It's something.





Caleb: Have you noticed the watcher's a bit sort of, well... rude lately?
Zahra: Not any more than usual really.
Caleb: Oh maybe it's just me being sensitive..lol
Zahra: She might be bored. She get's like that when there's no one to skill up.
Caleb: Hmm, I've probably been too busy lately to notice. It's a right pain anyway.
Zahra: Just stay out of her way or she'll give you some random meaningless and repetitive task to do otherwise.
Caleb: K, mum, good advice. Thanks.




Dude?
Dude: I'm kinda busy.
Hmm. *Finger drumming*
Dude: That's quite distracting you know.
I'm bored.
Dude: I'm busy.
*heavy sigh*




Clyde: Wow, you guys are so lucky to have a hot tub!
Abi: Yeah, I don't remember quite when we got them, they just sort of appeared.







Arghhh! Are you drowning Clyde? ?
Clyde: What? No! I'm just playing submarines!
Oh... *sheepish* K, then.





Abi: I love you Pop.
Caleb: Love you too princess. How's your day?
Abi: The best Pop.




Umm, you do know that electricity and water don't mix right?
Dude: Yep.
And...so...?
Dude: Lol, I'm just upgrading it. There's no danger.
K, I knew that...I totally knew that.
Dude: It's alright, it's sweet that you care.
I don't, well I do...I have to...you know...*cough* ...
Dude: Is it really so hard to say how you feel?
*Choked voice* Yes.
Dude: Lol.





Woah! See that the hot tubs working out well for you then...
Dude: Hm hmm.
