I enjoy Adrasteia's story just as much as I do enjoy the race! It's incredible what you do - three stories in one.
Love it!  :D

I've been meaning to ask for ages where Lupe's hair is from, it's really nice.
From the moment I fell down that rabbit hole I've been told what I must do and who I must be. I've been shrunk, stretched, scratched and stuffed into a teapot. I've been accused of being Alice, and of not being Alice, but this is my dream. I'll decide where it goes from here.

Lupe's hair came with the same group as Tala's.  I think it was around halloween and it came with Simpoints.  I could be wrong though.  I might look it up later.  Especially now that Aurora Skies is going to introduce a child version.    I'm totally getting the new world today just for Barbie & Tala's toddlers.

Seeing the child version coming is what reminded me :P Thanks, I'll have a browse and see if I can find it.

Anything You Can Do, I Can Do Better (A Dynasty) [New Chapter: Week 11 - Airica]

The Grim Recap:

Here's what you missed on Grim .... Two ladies race to the end of a dynasty each.  One wants to prove it's easy yet wants her opponent to fail.  Wouldn't that make it not easy?  And one wants to prove it's hard without failing but wouldn't that make it easy?  No one really knows.  Generation 2 of both families is working feverishly (and boringly) on all their requirements so they can bring in Gen 3.  And since I've seen gen 3.  I can't blame them.  So cute.  So now it's time to show you guys how Gunther almost failed The Grim half of the race.




Tala: "Marry me!"
Gunther: "Ok!"
Adrasteia: "You were supposed to become human first!"
Tala: "Wha? "
Adrasteia: "Now the shot is all ruined with you being pointy faced."
Gunther: "Ignore her.  I think you're adorable."


Adrasteia: "Only a Grim would round off the day getting engaged by making half of Sunset Valley stand in calf deep snow so she can get an award. "
Tala: -somewhere near the blue fairy wings- "Can you guys like move so I can go get what she's handing over?  Thanks.  No seriously.  Move."


Mayor: "The city of Sunset Valley recognizes Tala Grim for her heroic effort–"
Tala: "Yoink!  Thanks mayor lady. "
Mayor: "Ehh.   You're not going to bite me are you?"
Tala: "Should I?  Is that part of the ceremony?"
Mayor: "No no.  This is it.  Have a good day."
Tala: "Yeah you too."


Ulric: "We have so much in common it's uncanny."
Jamie Jolina: "I'm your sister's boss though."
Ulric: "Who cares?   You're beautiful."
Jamie: -falls for it-


VJ: "You're kind of cute."
Lupe: "Thanks.. So.. you single?"
Tala: "Oh come on.  Give me just 5 more seconds to finish maintaining this thing."
VJ: "I'm dating this girl named Bella."
Lupe; "Ugh.  Get out.  Just get out. "
Tala: "Haha."


Ulric: "Jamie.  We've only known each other a short while but we all know sometimes that's all it takes in this crazy Simverse.    Will you do me the honor of being my bride?"
Jamie: "Yes.  Yes!"
Ulric: "Let's go find a spot to spend some quality, heart confetting making fun time and then let's get married tonight."
Jamie: "You got it, red."


Ulric: "What do you say? Right here where my parents did it?"
Jamie: "Ulric.. I love it."
Adrasteia: "Yeah yeah. She's pregnant now.  Don't have to be cutesy anymore."
Ulric: "Jamie.. I give you this ring."
Jamie: "Ulric I give you this ring."
Adrasteia: "Bye Ulric.. We'll miss you.  Make sure your kid isn't hideous ok?"
Ulric: "Let's move into your house where there aren't talking houses and lots of people."
Jamie: "of course!  I live at your Dad's childhood home now."
Ulric: "Even better."


Lupe: "Well hi cutie.  What's your name?"
Michael: "Michael Bachelor."
Lupe: "You're Bella's brother?"
Michael: "Yeah she's my little sister."
Lupe: "Ugh.  No sparks.   Bye."
Adrasteia: "You don't have to find someone."
Lupe: "But I want to.   Time to go home and see what's the deal."


Adrasteia:  "Wow.. I think the skilling and snow has gotten to all our heads if this is what you guys are doing for fun."
Airica: "Only some LTRs and a wish to go.  Just trying to make one trigger."
Adrasteia: "Exactly.  But you're all here together.  You two go paint or something."


Adrasteia: "Spring finally arrives and Sunset Valley starts looking like Christopher Steel's pajamas."
Gilberto: "How do you know what his pajamas look like?"
Adrasteia: "Old photo album my mom had."
Gilberto: "Sure.  Alright.   Off to help Oona with her little project."
Adrasteia: "Ok sweetie.  Keep her out of trouble." -kiss-


Spring also brings a new little friend.   He just stares at the sunflower all day.  It's creepy.


Epic Music!
Tala: "Oh that's a weird feeling."
Lupe: "What is?"
Tala: "Getting extra especially happy from completing your lifetime wish."
Lupe: "Nice.. only a wish or two left and a skill challenge right?"
Tala: "Yeah.  Stupid fireflies."


Tala: "You know Addy.  I'm thinking about retiring."
Adrasteia: "You're not old enough to retire."
Tala: "Then I'm thinking about quitting.   I'm tired of maintaing a bell here and at the station."
Adrasteia: "Oh Hello Mr Ghost Gnome."
Tala: "Where'd he come from?"
Adrasteia: "Oh no.  Where's Mother?"


Adrasteia: "Oh it's just you.   Why would you use that spell?"
Artie: "Yeah really.   We did have other plans for you."
Gunther: "She made me mad."
Adrasteia: "Hey butt out Old man."
Artie: "Miss you too sweetpea."


Gunther: "So you're Artie huh?"
Artie: "Yeah nice to meet you.   Ready to go meet some of the family?"
Gunther: "Sure but what about Tala?"
Artie: "Well somebody is probably going to be really smart and use that new gizmo that Malcolm got from a recent opportunity."
Adrasteia: "Oh yea.. See ya later Gunther.  Oh and Gramps.. Give the boys hugs for me."
Artie: "I will sweetie.  Be safe."


Tala: "Mwahahha.  Someone died."
Adrasteia: "Just pick up the grave."
Tala: "Ok.  Where now?"
Adrasteia: "Back to the house near the broom arena."


Tala: -starts crying- "Gunther died!"
Adrasteia: "Oh don't become one of those girls now.  Right out back.  Hurry up."


Tala: "Zim Zim Salabim."
Adrasteia: "Wrong.  Get serious."


Tala: "Did it work?"
Gunther: "Oh man.  I was just about to meet Sheila."
Adrasteia: "I'd say so.  Welcome back."
Tala: "Baby you're back! and green."
Gunther: "I'm going to get some ambrosia though right?"
Adrasteia: "Actually................................................................................................no."
Airica: "I like it."
Adrasteia: "Yeah that works out. Aww man.  The engagement was broken."
Tala: -wishes to propose to Gunther-  "What?  why?'
Gunther: "Because I died. "
Tala: "Oh. I'm hungry.  You?"
Gunther: "Yeah.."
Adrasteia: "Ugh.  Never going to get that wish now."


Tala: "Hey Gunther.  You sexy beast who has been breaking things so I could fix them.  Marry me?"
Gunther: "Oh my god.  I didn't think you'd ever ask."
Tala: "Yes?  No?   Thinking about it?"
Gunther: "Yes of course, you silly puppy."
Tala: "Good."
Adrasteia: "Hey and you did it in human form.  So proud of you."
Tala: -pops a wish-
Adrasteia: -sniff- "Only two more skill challenges to go."

Yay for Gunther becoming the right form and Tala having the right wish! Did he really kill himself by casting a Haunting Curse on someone? Crazy man!

Yeah I was working on his lifetime wish, Renaissance Sim.  Apparently he got tired while at the Academy and got into a fight with Sandi French.  Sandi is still with us!

Hehe, I like it! Gunther looks awesome as a green ghost. I guess that grumpy trait backfired on him!

OMG! Never ever saw a green ghost before! What does the colour stand for?
Brilliant way to get onto the next stage. Airica is doing well! :)

It very much did.  Airica and Gunther are constantly throwing spells out.  I had to make sure they both got magic hands to make sure she didn't kill herself going after Jared Frio at a party.   (Common occurence)

I have been meaning to ask but what is Tala's everyday hair? I love it and want to get it :)
I'm not sure it's available.  It came with a Simpoint bundle I bought back in October and I haven't seen the hair anywhere else since.  Not all of them are ones I use on a regular basis but the one she got is one of my favorites honestly.

OMG! Never ever saw a green ghost before! What does the colour stand for?

The green ghost is the Death by Haunting Curse Backfire ghost.   Gunther tried to have Sandi haunted and killed himself.  I thought with the best wand that it would never happen so I wasn't watching him and he didn't have magic hands yet.   It goes to show what I know about witches.   

You guys are in for a treat when I get around to my next round of updates.  I feel unfunny lately and I hope it doesn't show in my updates.  I've been trying to be fun but really - we all know skilling just sucks.  Tala did nothing but hunt for a like a week to get her last three skill challenges which were the butterfly, beetle and firefly.   It took forever because of the firefly one.  One little firefly had me waiting around for 6 Sim days to catch because apparently it's not on the werewolf catching list.    Pro Tip:   Have a person max alchemy and get the opp to catch bugs.  Never turn it in.  It will always show you what's out there so if you need a specific one it will help find it.

I've been so busy doing the Baby Boomer and feel bad for not commenting to your reply erlier. I highly appreciate the info you give to us all through displaying your way of playing the game. And there is so much still to learn from all the EP's and new supermaxes (for me). Thanks for giving so many wonderful tips throughout your stories.
I just wondered: if Airica is a witch, can she ask Tala to hunt for specific ingredients, maybe those fireflies thingies?
I tried a witch to ask a werewolf to help find ingredients, but have not figured out how it is done.
I do love your story! :)

Oh, Rica, this better be good. You know I've been waiting for this one with baited breath. ;) I must vicariously sim through you!

Ok so I'm a horrible story writer. I just realized I didn't even tell you guys what's been going on!    Two days after my last update, my mom's baby brother died of a heart attack.   That entire week I was actually not around as I had to travel to be with my family.   Upon my return on Saturday the 2nd, I had 2 days of relaxation before Uni came out and I spent most of that preparing myself with questions that had to be answered.   The last seven days have been spent doing nothing but exploring Uni's crevices in an effort to have answers for Metro and everyone else in regards to the challenge board.

I've miss the Grims and I've missed the dolls.   I have no idea where my story is at in my head anymore.   I have had pictures uploaded since February 24th and those are the ones that have to get used first.   So look out! An update is in the works as long as I don't pass out on my desk from lack of sleep.   Whee for weird human vampirism that makes me want to be awake when it's dark. 

See you all really soon!
