Immortal Immortal Dynasty 5.0: The Last Birthday

[SimBlip]

Totally hilarious! You write the funniest blogs ever and I love them!  Sometimes it's the line, sometimes it's the line and a photograph, and then other times just the photograph. And it's hard to do situation humour with just pics as opposed to moving pics, but you deliver time and time again. Such talent!

Pleased to meet a fellow Buffy-phile, Audren! I pretty much enjoy all things Whedon, though Buffy is a particular favorite. (No seriously, I'm re-watching it again for about the fifth or sixth time. The whole series. Because it's THAT. GOOD. Do I have a problem?  )

 Aw, well, when even the dead are willing to help you work things out, how can two sisters stay mad at each other! What a sweet update. Poor Not! No sleep and no shower for him, while his sisters just run around creating a raucous. Is that really a teen prank, or just a glitch I haven't seen before with the teacher? Either way, fascinating!

[Blayzen]

I can't even begin to tell you how much that teacher prank bothered me but I loved Crazy's purple hair! I just love your writing style and the way you pull things together - Seriously entertaining! It was also nice to see Ollie come in and manage the sister's argument; I missed him!

I must admit that while writing this dynasty is a lot of fun, writing comedy is a lot harder than writing more dramatic stories like Secret Fire. I've always been baffled by this, though I'm glad to hear I'm doing a good job.

Well, I certainly don't think you have a problem. I'm not sure about anybody else, though I think Blayzen's with me on this one.

Fortunately, Not will be the last victim of the torture chamber minimalist art studio, since having Artistic get 25 ice sculptures is of a much lower prioity, and she's the last one that needs to max it, anyway.

Oh, right... the teacher prank. I'm not sure what happened there, to be honest. He was actually the second teacher to come out like that; the first one slipped away while I was sitting there stunned. It was only the teachers, too. None of the kids had that problem. Maybe the game thought they were supposed to be kids and "adjusted" their height accordingly? I don't know.

I still have screenshots from my last gaming burst, so another update's coming right on up!

Misclick of Good Fortune

A: What on Earth are you up to, Crazy?
Crazy: We haven't seen one of my crazy moments in a while, so I've been doing this since you loaded the game until you noticed.
A: But I started playing two hours ago.
Crazy: Such are the sacrifices of a Dynasty man.



Emerald: I'm just so nervous about my date with Parker! I mean, I've already ruined two dates! What if I screw this one up, too?
Margie: You won't screw up, Em. I mean, what are the odds of you messing up three times in a row!
A: Dear God, this whole family is obsessed with tempting fate.
Margie: It'll be fine this time, I swear!



Crazy: Heh heh heh! They'll never suspect my trolling until it's too late. Oh no, it's A! Screensaver! Screensaver!
A: Crazy, what are you doing?
Crazy: Nothing...
A: Crazy, I know you're trying to troll the forum again. Don't you mess with Pam, or her Dreamweavers will mess with you once you make it to the Completed Dynasties Board! Are we clear?
Crazy: *gulp* Crystal.



Emerald: Hey, Parker! I'm here for our da-
Parker: Shh! Don't say that!
Emerald: Why? Who is- it's your girlfriend, isn't it?
Parker: Umm.... kind of.
Emerald: *sigh* Should have known not to trust online dating.



There's a bit of a story here. Apparently, there's a chance of sculptures breaking into gems. However, this chance is removed if the sculpter has the Savvy Sculptor trait. Since everybody I've had sculpting has that trait, this is the first time I've ever seen this. Learn something new every day!



Girlfriend: *sigh*
A: Are you more upset about the fact that your boyfriend is kissing that new girl, or that I can't seem to remember your name?
Girlfriend: The boyfriend. You forget everybody's name. I don't feel singled out.
A: Well, uh, good. I guess.



A: *to himself* Okay, then. Finished going steady, queue up stroke cheek, add in a whisper in ear, and we should be- Wait, no!



A: No, Emerald! I didn't say you could get engaged!
Emerald: That's no fair, A! I love Parker!
A: Do you love him because you love him, or because he's your first successful romantic interest and you want to stop while you're ahead?
Emerald: *pause* The point is, I love him!



A: Okay then, Emerald. Tell me how we're going to add Parker into a household when we already have 8 Sims?
Emerald: But we don't have 8 Sims!
A: Yes we do! Crazy and Jules and Artistic and Not and Alsonot and Notzo and you and- Oh, right.
Emerald: Ha! You don't have an excuse, then! Who would've thought death would be good for something!



A: Wait! Wait! If Parker moves in, then you can't have a kid! We both know you've always wanted kids!
Emerald: Oh, poo.
A: Now, if Parker stayed outside of the household, then you could have the best of both worlds! Baby and boyfriend!
Emerald: *considers her options*



A: Haha! I win.



I've finally figured out how Biscuit and the strays end up learning all these tricks. Bonehilda's teaching them! I'm continually impressed with the personality that Bonehilda seems to have. I haven't seen her used that much in other stories, so I want her to really come into her own here. After all, she'll be sticking around for a while!



Crazy: This is really happening. I'm setting up the party for my Elder birthday!
A: Won't be long now, Crazy.
Crazy: You know, I think I have some Elder shots of me. Should I show them?
A: Nah. I think they could wait a bit.
Crazy: Not too long, now! Remember when our last update was?
A: Oh, hush you!

I'm so glad, I love how you portray Bonehilda!  Her begging Grim to take her with him was a riot!

I'm glad you enjoyed how I portrayed Bonehilda. I was somewhat worried her grim, "Why can't I just die already?" personality would be a tad too cynical. She won't ever be too central to the story, but her antics are always fun to document.

The Last Birthday

A: How you doing, Not?
Not: It's raining.
A: How very observant.
Not: Well, fix it!
A: Darnit, Not! I'm a watcher, not a weatherman!
Not: I'm kind of cold, too.
A: Really sorry, but I have to go now. Planning your dad's party and all.



A: Oh, look. It worked. Good job, Emerald.
Emerald: I still want to marry Parker.
A: How about this? I'll arrange a non-official ceremony after this party. It won't be on the record books, but does it matter?
Emerald: I'd really appreciate it, A!
A: I'll see what I can do.



A: Even on your birthday, you're still cooking?
Crazy: Well, what else are my guests supposed to eat? Emerald's food?
Emerald: Hey! I'm right here!
A: It's not like he's wrong...
Emerald: I didn't ask you!



Crazy: But I will cheat a little. If anybody asks, you saw me cook all this, okay?
A: Why would they ask?
Crazy: I've invited my coworkers. They know what my food tastes like.
A: Poor them.
Crazy: Hey, I didn't get to the top of my field without picking up a few things.
A: Such as how to set up a buffet table?
Crazy: ...



Emerald: *muffled sounds of joy*
A: So this is how the party begins. With thunderous kissing.



Emerald: Guess what, Jade? I'm pregnant!
Jade: Oh, congratulations!
Gala: Ugh... so hungry...
Emerald: Hey, I can see that Starving Moodlet up there. You might wanna get some plasma fruit, Gala.



Gala: Nah. I think I'll go over here and die instead.

Ugh! I was just about to ask her to leave before she starved to death when she decided to go do it anyway. Now I'm gonna have to find a new best friend for Crazy! Here I thought we had his requirements all wrapped up.



Crazy: Excuse me! My best friend just died, and you're going on and on about how this inconveniences your master plan! Who's the evil one, now!
A: Wait, hold on. This is weird. Better come over here, Crazy.



Grim Reaper: Oh great. You again.
Gala: I can't exactly make myself Unlucky, you know!
Grim Reaper: Yeah, I guess. But you have this under control. The first few times, it was pretty funny. Now, it's just boring.
Gala: Won't happen again, sir.
Grim Reaper: *snort* Not likely.
A: See, Crazy? We're good, now! Let's go blow out those candles.



A: See, Crazy? What a great party we have here. Great food that you didn't even touch, friends dying and coming back to life, and- wait, Grim?



A: What are you still doing here?
Grim Reaper: This is Crazy's last birthday, you know. Since I won't get to take him away, I figured I'd be here for the party.
A: Okay, then. Enjoy yourself.



A: Oh, you don't look happy, Crazy.
Crazy: It's not that bad, is it?
A: Worse, I'm afraid. Come on, I think I have a little gift for you. Hope you like it.



Crazy: My bowler hat! You found it!
A: Yes, I did. Figured it'd be a nice Immortal present.
Crazy: But what happened to my mustache?
A: Apparently, pencil-thin mustaches are too young for you to wear. Silly Create A Sim. I'll find you some better facial hair soon.



Jules: You look lovely as always.
Crazy: Speaking from the master of lovely, no less.
Jules: Why aren't you out at the party?
Crazy: The party can wait. For now, it's just the two of us.
A: And me.
Crazy: Hello? We're having a moment here! Go check on Not or something.
A: Well, fine then.



A: Oh. You don't like good.
Not: How... very... observant...
A: Hold on. I'll get you thawed out soon enough.
Not: Thank... you...

Did I miss the part where Gala came back to life? Or was she not the Sim you were referring to? Consider me confuzzled...Other than though, Congrats to Crazy on his last birthday!! Hopefully this Dynasty is destined to succeed - Keeping my fingers crossed!!

[SimBlip]

"A" versus Emerald over the role Parker should/could play had me in stitches.
Happy birthday, Crazy! I do not mind you losing a pencil-thin moustache.
It was only... well, pencil-thin after all, and you're a grown man now. 

[Archangel]

Happy birthday Crazy! It was very polite of Grim to come to his party. Not looks horrible.

I didn't get a very good shot of the actual coming back to life, mainly because I was still so stunned at what happened. That outside picture of Gala and Grim was the aftermath of that happening.

Even now, I don't think Emerald and I are done arguing about Parker. Eventually, she's going to have to stop resisting the will of the Watcher.

I ended up removing Crazy's facial hair altogether for now. I'll play around and see what I like.

Welcome to the forum, Archangel! Grim has always been known as a polite and proper man. Even when you're dying, he's on his best behaviour. Not looks like he could use a hot cocoa. Or eight.

[Rhoxi]

Ironically, that vampire is actually quite lucky. I wish more vamps had that trait so they wouldn't starve all the time! Poor Not . . .

Aaah ok. That makes sense now. Thanks for clearing that up for me. I thought I had missed an update and was driving myself crazy trying to figure out where the Forum had hidden it from me!
