Fourth in the Four: Another Grim Dynasty

[MarianT]

So glad to see that Simonis can finally get married!

And I'm glad that your pregnant lady was able to get into the delivery tube.

[Ricalynn]

Congrats on the delivery!  You must be so relieved!  (Bridgette is adorable!)
The passionate kiss shot is perfect--his red jacket over Her Redness's knee, the red candles, the teddy bear's red heart!
Laughed at the stone statue guy in a sheet, watching Aria propose to Simonis.
Lol, Artie and his "woohooium alarm"; the alert expression on his face says it all!

You have no idea.  Actually you probably do!  Bridgette is adorable and while I loved meeting her.  Meeting the expecting mama was so much better.  After that happened I actually giggled for a while and kept playing through.  I had to finish the wedding. then I had to finish the pregnancy.. then I had to know what color.  It's really a long never ending process with these Grims I tell ya!

The bear, "champagne", candles and Rose I figured were all just symbols of her trying to woo him in a whirlwind.  I didn't even notice the way the statue looked til you pointed it out.  I was more worried about the angle of her dress. >.>

And about the woohooium alarm.   Back when Artie was in Sims 3, his career was always.  I repeat Always the criminal career.  And at level 10 they got that evil red glow.  The man was a walking woohooium bar all the time.  Which was made even better in Lunar Lakes when the sky turned pink too.  I should bring back that profile picture.  Dead Grim is funny but Artie is the best.    I miss that glow though.  But that's the reference.  No idea why I felt the need to explain but there you go.  :X

Reid is gone too soon, RIP <3 I think I was just as excited when I saw that pregnant alien, so congrats on the promotion Aria =D The romantic spot is beautiful and Artie's face at the end was priceless. Brilliant updates!

I know Which is why I was all too happy to save him to the gallery and share him.  And I'm glad everyone else was excited because I think that means we all know what's about to happen.  And yes Artie and his faces.. He has this thing with his one eye.  I'm beginning to think he's getting into the herbs.

Edit:  I just realized I haven't had a single Sim live past 24 hrs after their second Grim note.  Obviously something is up with my house or they fine-tuned something in the game that I missed.

So glad to see that Simonis can finally get married!

And I'm glad that your pregnant lady was able to get into the delivery tube.

I didn't even know there was a possibility she wouldn't!  That... That's just scary in retrospect.  But there is much more to see and I really should share with you guys what I already know.

[Ricalynn]

Aria - Oh Daddy it's finally happening.
Artie - I know sweetie. 
Aria - I kind of wish Mom was here.
Artie - I know but I'm sure she's watching you from somewhere.
Aria - Think so?
Artie - If she remembered what I said about talking to people who know how to break fourth walls, of course.


Artie - I see that you two went with bride wears black, dude wears white like we did.
Aria - I thought it fitting since I'm the Grim here.
Simonis - And I pretty much will do whatever she wants.
Artie - Did you get implants Simonis?
Addy - No it just bunches.  Stop staring at them Artie.
Artie - Wha.. I..I did no such thing.
Aria - *tries to not laugh*


Artie - Mwahahaha
Markus - And that's it?
Addy - You did not just..
Artie - I don't know what you mean.
Addy - You will empty that fountain right now and not touch it again.
Artie - I don't know what you mean.
Addy - ARTIE!


Artie - Fine Fine. There.  Happy?
Markus - Wow.. watcher whipped.
Addy - You can be shoved into a room with no windows like the old guy that lives with us.
Markus - We have an old guy that lives with us?
Addy - Exactly now refill it this time and only improve the sauce.. don't add extra!


Addy - Don't even think about it.
Markus - I was just looking!
Addy - Actually now that the topper is on there.  Just scoot.  skedaddle.  Go find your mother.


Simonis - What you couldn't find one that would slide past my knuckle?
Aria - Simmybear.
Simonis - I know it fits. I'm just kidding.


Addy - The power given to me by the Boss and the watcher association now pronounces you actually husband and wife.  You may not break the lip lock and go get cake.


Aria - Now where did that husband of mine go.
Simonis - Surprise *confetti* I'm over here with the macaroons.
Aria - Oh I guess I could eat this cake all by myself then.
Simonis - No.. wait.. wait a minute.. I'm coming.


Simonis - Don't stab me.
Aria - Then stop moving your head and open your eyes.
Simonis - Oh.. sure.
Aria - Margaret has outdone herself again.
Simonis - Mmm.  yes.
Aria - And gold medal wedding.  How about we end it early and tell these people to get.
Simonis - Sounds good.  I could use a shower.
Aria - Wish I could join you.


Aria - Simmy guess what!?
Simonis - *comes out of shower* What?
Aria - I'm pregnant and uh.. you have a swirl rash.  That's actually really infectious.  We should take care of that.
Simonis - Might want to take some meds too since you're pregnant!
Aria - I know!  *giggles*


Aria - Bottoms Up!
Simonis - *glug glug*  Wow this is kind of.. what is this red bull?
Aria - No.. Actually it's a Crimson Steer base with medicinal herbs to actually effect the standard household illness.
Simonis - I want to work out.
Aria - Me too.
Addy - *silently squeeing over the baby bump*


Addy - Artie guess what?
Artie - I'm awesome at this?
Addy - Not exactly.. You're gonna be a grampa!
Artie - Nice.. contact Ares and tell him it's time for the next batch.
Addy - Will do. 

[oshizu]

Congratulations on a lovely wedding.
The convo beneath the "Simonis has implants" image goes so perfectly with their facial expressions, I really laughed out loud at that.

And, of course, congrats on the incoming Grimboo. How positively thrilling!!!!

*whispers: Next batch of what? Fertility herbs?
I'll stop guessing and just wait and see... 

[Ricalynn]

Margaret - Um. Addy.. Who's this?
Addy - Zackary Bruno.. the elder live-in roommate?
Margaret - Umm.. we have a roommate?
Addy - Yeah came to live with you guys right after Markus's birthday party.
Margaret - He did?
Addy - Yes and he's supposed to be locked in the basement but he got out.
Zackary - I can hear you.
Addy - I know but you're still supposed to be in the basement.


Simonis - You sure you should be running that fast?
Aria - Simmybear.. what do I do for a living?
Simonis - Hang around sick people all day.
Aria - Very funny gamer boy.  What is my career path?
Simonis - I know I know.  You're the doctor.
Aria - Why are you working out in your work clothes?
Simonis - Why do I randomly sometimes do yoga in shoes.  I don't know.
Aria - And I'm the one they call insane.  *answers herself* I know!


Addy - You need to successfully diagnose and treat 5 people in the 2 and a half days it will take you to give birth.  Think you can?
Aria - Of course I can.
Addy - Okay then.  2 hours until 2nd trimester.  Go get'em tiger before the hunger gets to you.


"Lady" - Well look at you.. didn't you have a flat stomach the other day?
Aria - *chuckles* Yeah I did.
"Lady" - You go girl.
Aria - Thanks.  And thank you for letting me put Bridgette in this bed.  I'll get you all set in another one after I give her her meds.


That's Clifton Rupp.. but the guy you see casually walking in behind him?  That's Junior Grey.  He grew up with Aria and Simonis. Albeit a bit slower than they did for some reason.


And this is Junior Grey being a drama king.  Walks in all fine.. passes out.  But hey.. it counts for the 5 so woohoo!  Well not woohoo but whoo.


"Lady" - Man..my head is killing me.
Aria - Probably from the crying nooboo and.. aww man. 
"Lady"/Addy - What?
Aria - *stage whispers* She's an alien.
Addy - Sometimes you're not nearly as observant as your traits say you are.


Reaper - Zackary Bruno lives at.. Wait he lives here?
Addy - Yep.  Part of my Late Stage Happiness for Elders program.
Reaper - So you invite the old people in.  Give them every whim and aspiration they can possibly fulfill and then reap the benefits.
Addy - No.. you reap 'em.  I just get the potions.
Reaper - I was.. nevermind.


Meanwhile upstairs...
Addy - Oh for Carl's sake.  We're in the middle of keeping the whole house from finding a dead body and you go and throw a fire in the mix.
Markus - I can't unlock the door.  I can't unlock the door!
Addy - Huh.. Neither can I.  Guess you better put it out huh?
Markus - I don't know how.  I don't know how!
Addy - You pull the emergency extinguisher out of your butt pocket of holding and..


Addy - Oh hey.. the sprinklers do actually work. 
Markus - *evil laugh*
Addy - You're still in trouble.  Back to work Mister.
Markus - Slave driver.
Addy - You know it.


Artie - *outside casually using the freeze ray to put out a fire*
Addy - Not you too!  The whole house is all running around when they've got tasks to do. 
Artie - Sorry.  For some reason the light didn't want to change!
Addy - You've even got Simonis coming back from his space mission because of you!
Artie - I said Sorry! 


Addy - You look pleased with yourself..
Aria - This is my third grilled cheese and I don't even care.
Addy - Not that you can tell from your legs.  Oy. 
Aria - Hey I'm growing a nooboo here, no judging.


Aria - Wait who told you about the baby?
Artie - That loud mouth right up there. 
Aria - Addy!
Addy - I was excited.
Aria - I wanted to tell him.
Addy - You never said not to.  So that's your fault.


Addy - Haha.  Now that you're pushing third trimester the patients might actually be able to keep up with you.
Aria - Shh.
Addy - Get that guy's name.
Aria - I already have it, it's on the chart.
Addy - Don't forget his number then.
Aria - Why?
Addy - Oh come on.. we have to keep looking out for Margaret.


Aria - *gasps*
Renee - That's the second one you've dropped, Dr Grim.  You okay?
Aria - Yeah yeah.  Just the little one is moving and rearranging my internal organs.  That's all.
Renee - Oh okay.  Was worried it was something serious.
Aria - Let's try this one more time.
(( Seriously the first time she's ever dropped it.. was so shocked ))


Aria - *slightly dazed* Yay I did it.
Addy - Yay.. You're a chief of staff.  You should probably get some food now. Also.. I'm concerned for the nooboo.  It has two large lumps.
Aria - It's the jacket.
Addy - If you say so..


Addy - Another grilled cheese?
Aria - Yeah I have to eat 10 of them eventually and I'm hardly hungry so may as well work them in while I can.
Addy - Yeah I get it.  Where is everyone?
Aria - Work.  Except Markus.  He's in the room you keep him in working with his vocal coach.


Markus - *evil laugh*
Addy - *looks for someone hiding in the room.. sees no one and just walks away*


Aria - *groans and rubs her lower back*
Addy - This is why you have a husband you know.
Aria - Yes but he's at work.
Addy - I could fix that.  Bring him home 30 minutes early.
Aria - No no.. he's going to get his last promotion tonight if you don't mess it up.
Addy - Okay fine..


Simonis - Honey I'm home.
Aria - *giggle*  Hey Simmybear
Simonis - How's my favorite mama-to-be?
Aria - I'm a whale full of grilled cheese.
Simonis - A very sexy cheese whale.
Aria - You dork.


Simonis - Can I interest you in a massage?
Aria - Can I interesting you in some sauna time?
Simonis - Why Mrs. Grim.  You know all the best ways to talk to a man.
Aria - And don't you forget it.


Simonis - Wow.. you're so big.  I can't wait for the baby to come.
Aria - Me either.  I can't feel my feet.
Simonis - I have an idea.
Aria - What's that?
Simonis - Let's try to finish soulmate together before you give birth.
Aria - Not sure we have time but that sounds awesome.

Congrats to Aria and Simonis for maxing their careers!  *throws confetti
They're so cute together!

Has Markus become The Keeper of the Books of Life?

Has Markus become The Keeper of the Books of Life?

I know.  You guys didn't see how they were constantly all over each other before but it's still true.  They just enjoy each others company a lot. 

Markus has been spending time up in what I call the inspiration bedroom behind a locked door.  His first aspiration is the writing one to start making books of life just like his Dad did.  So he writes up there next to the books in a locked room but half the time I just have Artie, Aria or Simonis teleport in to read and then teleport back out.  Getting those bestsellers is always so easy before it's required for the aspiration.  After it's like. grr.

[Nettlejuice]

Is the 'Lady' at the hospital the woman who gave birth for Aria's promotion? Congratulations on the wedding and the nooboo, now to wait to see if s/he also has red skin =D Clever way to reap easy points using elders.

Yeah.  I can't remember her name.  Actually because I typed that I now remember it's like Lyndsey Erickson but when I actually wrote up the updates I couldn't remember without going in game and that requires load screens so I took the lazy way out and never checked. 

And having elders in the house also keeps the alienboos away but I need the space to work out my master plan. Mwahahaha.. and now an update.



Addy - Artie.. your girlfriend's calling!
Artie - Not my girlfriend!
Addy - Coulda fooled me.


Addy - That was a short trip. Coming home already?
Artie - Yeah I don't feel good so they're gonna drop me off.
Addy - Okay.  You sure big red?


Artie - I think I'm going to lay down right here.
Simonis - *closes his eyes*  This cannot be happening.  Artie get up.
Artie - Just a little nap
Simonis - Artie get up!
Artie - It's okay.
Simonis - It's not okay!


Simonis - You can't do this.
Reaper - I can and I will.  Old man is getting careless and now he's mine.


Simonis - No.
Reaper - No?  And who are you to tell me no? 
Simonis - The one that's telling you to stop and think about what you're actually doing.
Reaper - And why should I?
Simonis - Because of what he's really doing.
Reaper - Yes yes.. another dynasty like he really needs the ego boost.  Back off the kool-aid kid.
Simonis - Don't recognize me in this body do you?
Reaper - Excuse me?
Simonis - We hid it really well what they had done so few have figured it out but can you not see it when you look into Simmybear's eyes?
Reaper - I.. That's not possible.
Simonis - Let me have a moment of your time.


Simonis - This is really depressing what is taking so long.
Reaper - Do you have any idea the amount of information is on this server?
Simonis - There's got to be a search function. 
Reaper - Right because that name isn't in here like a million times.
Simonis - *heavy sigh*
Reaper - Don't you dare start crying on me.  Aha... Oh.  Man.. I always hated when you people are right.
Simonis - *perks up*


Reaper - Rise you big red dolt! Gah.. is he putting on weight?
Simonis - There's weight on his shoulders but I don't think it's where you think it is.
Reaper - Hey.. I don't need any of our sass, I have plenty of my own.


Artie - I'm baaaa-ack!
Reaper - Oh shush.
Simonis - *snickers*


Artie - *deep breath* Oh.. oh that smells good.  I love sim life.  So good to be back.  Both of us.
Simonis - I had to tell her.
Reaper - Why didn't you tell me?
Artie - Ace up my sleeve for when you tried to pull something to break the deal.. like this.


Addy - ARTIE
Artie - Hey  I didn't do it!
Addy - Artie.. you just died. You know what that means don't you?


Artie - *starts to get mad*  You idiots.  We just failed this thing thanks to this little stunt.
Simonis - You..
Reaper - I .. uh. 
Artie - This completely breaks the deal you know.  I have to find a way to get it done all over again.  They're going to know.
Reaper - I'm sorry?


Artie - You're sorry?  Look at everything I'm about to lose.. again.  Don't you get it.
Reaper - I do now and so do you.
Artie - Holy Metro Butt Museum Batman, do you even hear yourself talking?  You make no sense. *chuckles*


Reaper - Good night Artie..
Artie - Okay.. Good night..


Addy - Artie.. Why are you making ambrosia in your PJs 4 days before you're scheduled to eat another bite.
Artie - I had a bad dream.
Addy - A bad dream? 
Artie - Yeah that silly reaper came and reaped me!
Addy - Umm.. No?  You've been sleeping fine for hours and then you randomly came down and made ambrosia.


Artie - It happened okay. I mean didn't you see the reaper.
Addy - Artie.. there's been no reapers at the house since Reid died and that one stayed forever.  Broke like 3 computers.
Artie - You don't see that.
Addy - See what?


Artie - You know what.. Fine.  Have it your way.  You can pretend you don't know what's going on but I do.
Addy - Um.. Gramps.  Have you been drinking stuff at work again?


Artie - And you know if I see that reaper again I'm going to ring her little neck and shake her like a chicken in a cartoon.
Addy - Umm.  Wow.  Your crazy is coming out really bad tonight I see.


Aria - Daddy.. are you okay? 
Artie - Of course I'm fine.
Aria - Are you sure?  I heard you down here yelling at Addy. 
Addy - Not really talking to me as much as at me or himself.. possibly the counter.


Artie - You know. I am going to get her though and when I do she will feel the wrath of the red man! And she will scream and she will be all "I'm soo sorry"
Aria - Okay he's gone off the deep end.  C'mon kids let's leave grandpa alone.
Addy - The whole house is nuts.
Artie - And then she's going to cry because it's going to hurt and I'm going to be like 'Good.'


Ricanote:  I'm still HOF eligible.  'Nuff said.

[Nettlejuice]

Oh heck, that scared me. I thought it was for real!

[Trip]

I was close to crying in public about that you know-

[oshizu]

Yeah, I got totally sucked in, too, while wondering "Who is Simonis, like, really?"

Great chapter! I've missed your Artie-centered chapters! He's such an expressive sim!

[ratchie]

Artie Grim don't you ever do that to me again you hear.

Rachel

[Ricalynn]

I feel really bad about the scaring and crying.  Yet at the same time.. I want you to all know I was giggling.  Maybe there is some Artie in me after all. (wait we knew that)   He and I both promise you won't see that as a joke again... for this dynasty.  Not with him anyhow.  *shifty eyes*   And yes Oshizu, I love his expressions.  Though my favorite picture right now is the one I did outlining the reaper or maybe the one above that.   Death does not take death lightly apparently.  Who knew.

[sdhoey]

Now I'm trying to figure out who Simonis is and the reaper has to be one of Artie's wives or something.
