Family

[YZJay]

Introduction
Meet the Hollingworth household.

Natasha. The antiquated singer and a mother of 3 (sort of), she takes care of the family like the iron maiden takes care of her purse.

Bern. The former acrobat that still loves to do all things wild. The husband of Natasha, he stayed faithful to her ever since one incident involving a genie...

Max. The outsider whose skills as a chef is one of the only reasons why he still hasn't been kicked out of the house. There are other reasons he's still in the household, but more of that in another date.

Moscow Hollingworth. The son of Bern, the step-son of Natasha and Max. His relationship with the other adults can get confusing and sometimes weird but he's still a beloved member of the family.

Carolyne. The wife of Moscow, they met when they were in high school and they've been together ever since.

Pern. The adopted child of the family, he kills time by reading books or playing PC games. An introvert, deep down he longs a life filled with friends.

Madrid. The often ignored child of Natasha and Bern, she has more things up her sleeve than a magician in New York.

Munich and Paris. The 2 dogs of the family. They're dogs, and that's just it.

And last, the miniature Elvis that can't seem to learn how to stand up.
With a family like this, what could possibly go wrong?

Episode 1, Part 1, A Slow Start

Natasha: Egg rolls for breakfast?
Max: What about it?
Natsaha: Nothing.
Bern: Where's Pern?
Max: He's reading in his Multitab, He'll eat once we finish.

Pern: Munich, shoo.
Munich: (I ain't leavin until you show me some manners)

Moments later:

Bern: Nat, I'm thinking about performing again.
Natasha: What made you think about performing again?
Barn: First, I've got nothing to do in the house ever since Madrid became a child. Second, well, we're burning through our cash like wildfire, soon enough, we won't be able to pay our bills.
Natasha: Sounds reasonable. Anything else? I'm trying to beat my record.
Bern: You don't like to talk today don't you?
Natasha: It's "less talk, more golf morning", what'd you expect me to do, dance?
Meanwhile:

Carolyne: We own the beach right below the cliff right?
Moscow: Yes.
Carolyne: Why aren't we using it?
Moscow: I don't know.
Corolyne: That half wall sure can block our view'
Moscow (slightly irritated): Yes.
Carolyne: Don't like talking?
Moscow: I'm trying to enjoy this quiet morning.
Carolyne: ...okay.

Madrid: Watch'a doooin.
Pern: Do you need to ask?
Madrid: You're reading... something.
Pern (looks at her, irritated): Leave me alone.
Madrid: No.

Max: I'll name her, "The fat cousin of Mona Lisa"!

Natasha: It's almost Carolyn's death anniversary.
Bern: We need to speed up our plans.




Elvis: What're you looking at, fatso.
Munich: Poor choice of words old man.

Episode 1, Part 2, Not According To Plan

Natasha: After you talk to Alfred, don't mind if you get the gig, just go straight to the graveyard.
Bern: Where are you going?
Natasha: Mercedes May's house, I heard she's got one of it.


Mercedes: I don't know if Rich would want to propose, we've been steady for years now yet he doesn't show any signs.
Natasha: Give him some time, if you're really impatient, try what Leonardo did in Inception, plant the idea in his mind.
Mercedes: I don't know, maybe I like it this way.
Natasha: Have you ever heard of genies.
Mercedes: Yes, why?
Natasha: You can wish for his love.
Mercedes: But that wouldn't be true love anymore, would it?
Natasha: If your desperate, use it.
Mercedes: I'll think about it.

Max: If only Carolyn could see this.

Natasha: Did you find it?
Bern: No, there was no lamp in the graveyard.
Natasha: Proof?
Bern: Here, a fan photographed me just as I came out, ask her.

Natasha: You aren't signed in this photo.
Bern: This was designed by Saint Laurent himself, do you think I'll just let it get filthy with soil?
Natasha: You're not working hard enough. Mercedes has one, she didn't confirm it but I know she has one.
Bern: You know, there are easier ways to get a lamp.
Natasha: How?
Bern: Performing, I got the gig.

Episode 1, Part 3, New Day




Elvis: Okay, I'm sorry! You're a good dog right, would you really let a gnome like me just rot in front of a BORING sports program?
Munich: Shhh! I'm trying to watch here.


Bern: Need to practice.


After school:


Madrid: Mom! what's that weird lamp doing on your drawer?
Natasha: What lamp?

Natasha: (Is it worth it?)

Genie: Thank you for rubbing the lamp, blah blah blah, you get 3 wishes and yati yati yata, so what do you want?
Natasha: (Carolyn doesn't need to come back to make him happy again.) I wish Moscow Hollingworth eternal happiness.
Genie: Anything else? Love? Summon the dead?
Natasha: Just give him the wish.
Genie: Your wish is my command.





Elvis: Finally, free!
Ep1 End

Note: The reason for the tiny amount of dialogue is due to the photos being self explanatory.

[Audren]

Who is Moscow mourning? His mom?

[YZJay]

Yes. I don't know if it's clear, but N. originally wanted to revive Carolyn, Carolyn is Moscow's mother.

[Audren]

Yes. I don't know if it's clear, but N. originally wanted to revive Carolyn, Carolyn is Moscow's mother.

Ah, okay. I got Carolyn and Carolyne confused. I was thinking, "When did Carolyne die?" Good story, I enjoy reading it.

[Spork-tastic]

I like the pictures explaining the story more. Great start!

Episode 2, War
Pern's Story


Natasha: Stop it! Stop it right now!
Pern and Madrid: She/He started it!
Natasha: Pern come here, Madrid, stay where you are.

Natasha: How could you and sister argue like this!?
Pern: It's not my fault. It all started 30 minutes ago.

Madrid: Hey P, gimme a glass o water.
Pern: What's with the accent?
Madrid: You gimme one or you'll regret it.
Pern: What's gotten into you?
Later


Madrid: Told you so!

Pern to N.: After that she chased me up here then she tackled me!
N.: I'll deal with you later. Madrid, come here. You better have an explanation.

Madrid's Story
Madrid: It was a gloomy day, storm clouds were hanging above our heads waiting for a chance to strike. I was sitting beside Pern, innocently doing my homework, that's when he struck.

Madrid: Pern, can you please give a can of lemon juice from the fridge?
Pern: Don't you have legs?
Madrid: Pweeeaase?
Pern: I'm not falling for that!
Madrid: Oh, Cwome On!
Pern (Stands up): Leave me alone!

M to N: After that I saw this.

Madrid: I can only imagine him sitting in his theonw of darkness plotting to take over the world, ordering poor Munich to do his bidding. Then it was HIM who chased me up here then tackled me.
N.: I'm not convinced.
Someone: Maybe I should clear their names.


Moscow's Story
Moscow: They were doing their homeworks, Madrid did ask Pern to give her something, Pern did give it to her. No arguing here. Then I saw Munich having a thing for destruction, so he went on a rampage. Thy accused each other of letting Munich do this, since they're both Munich's BFF. No one chased anybody, they started fighting downstairs.

Moscow: Then continued in this floor.
 
Moscow: Then here. They fabricated the other person's action just to make him or her seen angelic. And by the way they are HORRIBLE liars.
Natasha: How do know this much?
Moscow: I'm a genie.
Natasha: So Munich started all this? But you two still could have prevented it, it's still your fault. You 2 are grounded for a week for lying to me and breaking the peace in this house. Go!
Moscow: Grounding them? Really?
Natasha: What'd you prefer?
Moscow: If it was Carolyn punishing them, she would pat them in the back and let them promise never to do that again.
Natasha: That's ineffective, and I'm not Carolyn.

Ep 2 End

Episode 3, Part 1, Experiment (A Tuesday Morning)

















Note: As it says in the title, this is an experiment. It is mainly to test out how this would work out. There is zero dialogue here, giving the impression of a quiet morning, because sometimes I find words emulating noise, and that's not good.

[Spork-tastic]

I like it. I felt calm reading looking at your story, It defiantly looked like an easy morning!

Episode 3, Part 2, Revival




Crowd: Booooooo!
Performer: I know, thank you! Thank you so much for this award! Thank you all!
Someone from crowd: You don't deserve it!
Someone else: I want a refund!
Performer: I love you too! (hurries to her car, drives away)

Proprietor: Good gracious! That was the best audition I've seen in years! You can perform tomorrow. Good luck.
Natasha: Thank you so much, thank you.
Proprietor: Now if you'll excuse me I'll have to watch another singer's audition. See you tommorow.
Natasha: Bye.
A few moments later
Proprietor to singer (overheard):  Good gracious! That was the best audition I've seen in years! You can perform the day after tomorrow. Good luck.
Natasha: I can't believe I fell for that!

Natasha: Bern! I got it! I'm performing tomorrow!
Bern: That's great!
Natasha: Now can you help me choose a dress for tomorrow?
Bern: Do I really have to?
Natasha: You have a very versatile taste, of course you have to.
Bern: All right. (No more midnight golf for me.

N: What do you think of this?
B: Garbage, it doesn't fit you anymore, there's too much skin, and frankly you're skin isn't exactly alabaster.

N: This?
B: Reserve it.

B: No!
N: But I haven't said anything yet.

N: This one?
B: Blech! (Throws up on floor)
N: Watch the carpet!

N: Please give me a positive reaction.
B: It's gorgeous!
N: So this is it?
B: If you're Frankenstein's wife then yes it is gorgeous.
N: So no then.

N: Here.
B: ...
N: That's a yes then.
B: You're hair needs fixing.


N: Thank you for you're opinion.
B: You're welcome, now can I go back to playing golf?
N: No. I need you to plan for my advertisement for tomorrow, you can't sleep until you finish it.
B: (Crumbles to dust)

[loveSims]

[Spork-tastic]

I like her dress (the last one that was approved by Bern). Funny update!

[YZJay]
