I'm sorry for the lack of updates! The end of the school year was extremely busy for me and I didn't touch the Wood family at all. School ended on the sixth, but then I contracted a bout of stomach flu from Sunday to Tuesday. Wednesday my stomach still hurt. Now, today, I'm finally feeling better, and up to playing a bit of the file!
Previously, on the Elven Legacy: fattening birthdays, dysfunctional ghosts, and a romantic date.Unfortunately, we can't always have excitement in our lives.
Jade: Uh, Laurel, having fun there?
Laurel: Stupid toilet, always getting clogged... why did Mom want three bathrooms again?
Jade: Well, she was living in poverty with four kids, and--
Laurel: That was a rhetorical question, sweetheart.
Laurel: So, here's your television. I fixed it by hitting it repeatedly with a wrench and duct taping the broken parts.
Justine: Right.
Patrick: Oh, Justine, how I wish you could traverse to the store with me! Alas, you have bigger, better things you have been called upon to do by the great Heavens.
Jade: She's going to work. She'll be back before long.
Being the kind, caring, and understanding person she is, Laurel decided to visit Diviserado--Laurel: Laurel's Library.
--Laurel's Library with Patrick.
Laurel: *cracks knuckles* I'll make sure these punks are behaving in here. If not, I'll have to fire them.
Lady-Who-Might-Be-Bella: Oh, look at that. I'm translucent.
Grim: No, you're dead.
Laurel: Boo! You're dead! Hi, Makayla! Hiss!
Jade: ?
Laurel: I was trying to be different.
Zachariah: Is this 911? Yes? I think my mom might be insane.
Sometime during the summer, Zachariah decided to try and make the best blueberry muffins ever.
Zachariah: These will be the best blueberry muffins the world has ever tasted.
Jade: Don't get your hopes too high up, buddy. You're only a kid.
Zachariah: 'If you believe it, you can achieve it.' William Arthur Ward.
Zachariah: Try one!
Marion: *cough* How long did you leave these sitting out?
Zachariah: A day or two. Why?
Marion: I thought you were a Genius.
Zachariah: 'Everybody makes mistakes.' Hannah Montana.
Tess expanded upon Zachariah's idea and decided to try to make the best blueberry pancakes ever. And she got an opportunity for it, too, so double whammy.
Tess: THESE WILL BE EXCELLENT.
Jade: If this batch doesn't work out, maybe you should-
Tess: *heavy breathing*
Tess: TRY THEM.
Marion: *deja vu* Uh, I just had a piece of cake so I'm going to go finish my novel. Okay-thanks-bye.
Tess: Fine, then I'll eat them
myself.
Jade: Surrounded by four group servings of blueberry pancakes. What if, instead of caking up children with birthday cakes, like in normal legacies, you caked them up with Tess-made blueberry pancakes? I mean, I'm sure there's enough for six or seven more generations. And they keep in the fridge for pretty long, right?
All Sims: And you say
we're the crazy ones!
The blueberry pancakes, unlike birthday cake, didn't catch on and were avoided like the plague.
Laurel: I'm starving but I'd rather make myself a PB&J than touch those things. They're like blobs. Aren't pancakes supposed to be circular?
And Zachariah finally made a friend.
Zachariah: Hi, I'm Zachariah but you can call me Zachariah.
Shayne: Wow, didn't see you standing there.
Zachariah: ...and the rain here? It's crazy! They should just call it Party-Cloudy Valley and be done with it.
Shayne: You have a point, little guy.
Shayne: Hey, you're pretty cool for a kid. We should hang out sometime when you're older.
Zachariah: Be careful on the hugs. I'm as fragile as a leaf.
Stay tuned for more in-depth insight of Laurel's career...
