The Price Immortal Dynasty - 21: The Queen of Ice

[AkonIsAwesome]

Yay!  The Prices are back!  *confetti*  I love Tegan lol!  Evil sims are so much fun XD

Thanks! Teagan is a lot of fun, I'm quite fond of evil sims myself.

Styx O'Reilly

Once upon a time, there was a fairy tale. And all the chapters started like this, so it started to be hard to come up with new and interesting things to put there.



Fiona: After closer observation, I've decided that you are adorable. And very fun to tickle.
Reaper 1: No, she is not adorable. Lethe is creepy.
Reaper 2: Could you let that go? Besides, none of them can hear you.



Fiona: Plus, you're a genius! That means you shouldn't need help with your homework. Or if you do, it won't take long! Because I don't want to help with that. Maybe I should have my own kid. Only what if they didn't turn out as nice as you?
Lethe: Learning to walk.



Mason: When I moved in here, I didn't realizing moving out again was not an option. Also I didn't realize I was going to be spending all my time teaching toddlers.
Teagan: How did you manage to miss all of that?
Mason: I really don't know.



Thanatos: Hello, little dragon. You should have a nice home. You can live with us. And I will call you... Jakiro.
Purple Dragon Jakiro: Grar.



Fiona: You know, someone really needs to empty that potty between training the toddlers. Otherwise that happens and someone has to mop. Someone other than me, because I don't do that.
Lethe: Mop please.



Lethe: Ah. A-ha-ha-ha.
Reaper 1: She's scary. See? Evil laugh. Just wait, she's going to turn out evil like Teagan.
Reaper 2: So far, it isn't looking like it.
Lethe: Hi, strange voices!
Reaper 1: Wait, is she talking to us?
Lethe: I crazy?
Reaper 2: I think she is.



Thanatos: Look how adorable Cerberus is!
Reaper 1: Right... does it not bother you at all that Lethe is talking to us? This is disrupting my entire world view.
Thanatos: Well, I can hear you.
Reaper 1: Yes, but that's because that's how it works! I don't know why that's how it works, but that's how it works.
Thanatos: Sometimes people think I'm crazy though. Like Shannon and Teagan and Fiona and Mason and a lot of my co-workers. Even though I'm not.
Reaper 2: Well, I guess since Lethe is your daughter, she gets to talk to us and hear us too.
Reaper 1: I don't like it. Maybe it'll go away.



Fiona: Now I shall work on my life-long goal of becoming good at alchemy. Also, I need to continue to get DNA samples from people around town. Why must they continue to turn down my offers to come visit at random hours of the day? It means I have to go and find them.



Fiona: You finally learned to talk. Although I have to say that your sister is more advanced. But you can't help that she's a genius and you aren't.
Cerberus: Walk!



Fiona: Yes. It's fun, isn't it? And soon I will have my own kid and they will be fun, just like you. Though maybe smarter, like Lethe. Or at least evil, like me. Then I will have a successor in evil-ness.



Jakiro: Rar.
Thanatos: Ow! My dragon friend bit me. Bad Jakiro. You are supposed to be a nice and friendly purple dragon. Why don't we go and see if you can summon some people to be new family friends?



Thanatos: Oh, I forgot. It's my birthday, isn't it?
Elderly Paparazzi: If I stare in the window long enough, surely someone will have to let me in.



Jakiro: Raaa.
Reaper 1: Is that dragon throwing up rainbows? Because that's weird.
Reaper 2: You should try being a little less negative. Maybe I can find a therapy session for you, or something.



Thanatos: I've never been old before. I wonder what that'll be like.
Elderly Paparazzi: Oh, a minor celebrity is having a birthday right in front of me! I'd better take some notes. Go away, other paparazzi, I was here long before you.



Thanatos: I have made an important decision. I don't like being old.
Reaper 2: You've only been old a few minutes! Give it a try. I'm sure its not that bad. Since, well, I've never been old either. Major advantage of working as a grim reaper - immortality comes with the job.



Thanatos: Now I fixed my hair, I think I'm okay with being old.
Teagan: Heheh, you dyed your hair. I didn't do that. Because then Shannon would claim she's better than me. And she's not. So I couldn't let her do that.
Thanatos: You still have lovely hair.
Teagan: I'm not sure that's a compliment, but I think you meant it as one. So let's just eat cake and be happy that life is good.



Reaper 1: How can he already have finished everything except the friends? And catching a deathfish to actually make ambrosia, which probably will be easy as soon as winter ends.
Reaper 2: You don't need to get upset. There are still seven to go. And Lethe is absent-minded.
Reaper 1: Yeah. I know. But I want him to fail! It'll be really nice if he helps us with our job, instead of just staying behind and being in charge. I mean, what does he really do, anyway?



Lethe: Cake! My birthday!
Thanatos: Yes, it's time for you to become a child. It's a lot of fun! Look, Cerberus even crawled over to watch.
Lethe: Cerberus play with doll. I blow out candles.



Lethe: Oh, magic sparkles.
Fiona: Why is Shannon standing in my way? I'm only here for the birthday cake anyway. Maybe I should just eat a toad or something. I am a mermaid, after all.



Lethe: What am I wearing? This is neither a shirt nor a dress and I refuse to continue to wear it. Therefore I shall visit the dresser as soon as I have eaten some cake. Because I'm hungry.
Teagan: My daughter is so smart. Just like me! But she still isn't evil. I find that disappointing, especially after Fiona failed dismally as an apprentice.



Fiona: This is my son, Styx O'Reilly. I didn't expect him to be so... pink. I guess I really don't know much about genetics and stuff. Which you would think I should, since I collect DNA samples. Ah well.
Shannon: Oh, so cute! He's so pink.
Teagan: Now our house is full. Shannon, you're the oldest. Hurry up and die so we can be a little less crowded.



Lethe: Hmm, if the mass of an object, multiplied by it's velocity, equals its momentum...
Cerberus: Sister!
Lethe: What? Yes. I am your sister.



Lethe: You are very easily entertained. When you are older, we shall play chess together. It will be fun.
Cerberus: Sister. Fun.

[AkonIsAwesome]

Cerberus and Lethe

Once upon a time, there were a lot of families that attempted immortal dynasties. This was one of them.



Lethe: I love my chess table! It's so much fun to play. Now I just need to find someone to play with me. Maybe my mother. Now what move was I going to make again?
Reaper 2: She is an absent-minded genius. I don't know how that will work out.



Fiona: Hello, O'Connell family! Thank you for choosing today to all go to the gym. Now, I would like to ask any of you who are human/witches/mermaids to please donate some DNA to the Fiona O'Reilly DNA collection.
Morida O'Connell: Yes, my DNA shall be preserved forever! And it won't matter that I am old!
Fiona: Sure...



Fiona: Hello, I would like your DNA. Because that's what I do. Go around town and collect DNA from every random person I meet.
Bradan McGrath: Okay.



Lethe: Oh dear, I must go to school! And I was playing chess and then eating and I completely forgot to sleep. It is time for... an invigorating elixir!



Lethe: I don't want to be late my first day of school. That would be unfortunate. Why must it be so difficult to remember little things like attending school?
Reaper 2: Hey, the new house is slightly less ugly than the old one. Maybe there is hope for the architecture of the future.



Lethe: So, are you positive that you know how to drive properly, Ms. Bus Driver? Because I would like to be sure of your skill before allowing you to drive me to school.
The Bus Driver: Maybe there will be a lot of snow days. Or I'll be able to retire.



Fiona: Yay, it is my son's birthday! Although what makes me very sad is that he was born good! Why would that happen? It's cruel.
Shannon: Maybe you should have not spent all your time researching alchemy.



Fiona: Well... okay. You know, when he grows up, maybe I ought to change his last name to Mithrilen. He looks way more like Fintan than me. Which reminds me, I meant to invite his father and half-siblings over for his birthday. But I forgot.
Shannon: Oh, that's sad. He should get to spend time with his family!



Fiona: Ah, it's fine. He's too young to care anyway. I think. Well, I've got my alchemy to get back to.
Teagan: And I have my own son's birthday! Cerberus, it is time for you to become a child! It seems highly unlikely that I will live long enough to see my children grow up so I can stop being annoyed by their presence...



Shannon: It's sad that Lethe had to go to school and so missed her brother's birthday.
Teagan: Yeah, and her future husband's.
Shannon: You're going to force her to marry Styx?
Teagan: Obviously. It makes sense. Otherwise, he's just an extra person in our house. We already have enough of those.



Shannon: Poor Lethe. I will do my best to help you be free from my evil sister's influence! Luckily, she's old. I shall look out for you as well, Cerberus. 



Cerberus: I'm a child! With cowboy pajamas! I don't really want cowboy pajamas though.
Teagan: Maybe he'll become a genius when he's older.
Shannon: Don't worry, I love you as you are Cerberus. Even if you evil, mean, inappropriate mother doesn't.



Reaper 2: Apparently he was totally unaffected by that. Probably a good thing.
Reaper 1: I like him a lot better than Lethe. He's not scary.
Reaper 3: Pirate Laundromat.



Thanatos: Hi! I've been working on getting 25 ice sculptures so I can take over the sculpting thing. It's taking a long time though.
Reaper 2: Yeah. It doesn't seem very interesting either.
Reaper 1: You aren't important now anyway. You are too close to being immortal. Lethe is the one to watch now!



Reaper 1: So let's watch very closely and hope she messes up.
Lethe: I can hear you. Please stop talking while I'm trying to do my homework. It's highly important to my later success in life.



Cerberus: I can clean up dishes. Also, I like to nap. And sleep. Then maybe nap some more. Sleep is good.
Shannon: Please put the dishes in the dishwasher.



Lethe: So, my little brother has gotten older.
Cerberus: Yes. I did! Only there wasn't any more room, so my bedroom is here.
Lethe: In the alcove. Indeed. But you have a nice view from the window.
Cerberus: I do! I want to hang some holiday lights on the house. That would be even more fun.



Lethe: What is even more fun is playing chess!
Cerberus: This is so hard... so much concentrating.
Lethe: It's good exercise for your mind. Everyone else is busy, so you shall be my chess-playing buddy.



Cerberus: I like this game way more.
Lethe: So difficult. I must calculate the odds of your choosing a particular one and weigh that against what you are likely to think I'm going to choose.
Cerberus: Umm... I think you're overcomplicating it. 



Teagan: Eh-heh-heh, your candy is mine!
Mason: Stop stealing that poor child's candy! Come here Styx, I shall teach you to talk and other useful things.
Teagan: You are a boring person, Mason. Goodbye. I have other things to do.



Cerberus: And that was when they realized there was something in the basement!
Lethe: What happened then?
Cerberus: That's all I remember.



Lethe: You're a good brother. I promise I won't forget you when I'm immortal and you're long gone.
Cerberus: Wait, what?

-------------
I deeply love the rhombus knit pattern by Chuckles_82. It is awesome.

[dontmindme]

Yay, more DV Immortal Dynasties! The kids are all so cute (and to answer your question, Teagan, Styx could keep the town going by mating with a few different townie women) and I can't wait to see more of them. The Reapers, as always, are a funny little chorus. Good luck!

[Geniequeen122]

Ah, such a great immortal dynasty. Oh, and Akon, I personally love Greek Mythology, so if you need names, I'm always open.

I am incredibly happy with how Lethe is turning out. I think she is probably one of the prettiest sims I've ever had and I can't wait to share pictures of her as a teenager! I'm not so good at using my sims to keep the town interesting, but I'm giving it my best go in this dynasty.

Ah, such a great immortal dynasty. Oh, and Akon, I personally love Greek Mythology, so if you need names, I'm always open.

Thanks! I can always use more name suggestions!

Cerberus Goes to School



Lethe: Will logic and my wisdom beyond my years tell me there is no such thing as monsters under my bed... I still must check.
Reaper 1: Are you always going to be annoyingly smart?
Lethe: I can't help that I'm a genius. Oh dear, there is a monster under my bed. My child-like mind refuses to believe that isn't possible, so now I am terrified.



Reaper 2: Wow. She passes out. From fear, I guess. I hope she's alright.
Styx: Wah!



Lethe: Ah, thank you for waking me up. You are just like a second little brother. I have such good brothers. Now I can sleep.
Styx: Gah.



Reaper 2: Wow, so peaceful and happy now. She's a nice girl.
Reaper 1: She's an absent minded genius who is my best hope for winning this bet!
Reaper 2: Do you have to be so mean all the time?
Reaper 1: I have to make up for you being so boring. And Reaper 3 being... well, Reaper 3.
Reaper 3: Sausage tomatoes are tasty.



Reaper 1: I mean, how did he even get this job? How did he pass the interview?
Reaper 2: Maybe he wasn't insane back then. Oh, look how peaceful Cerberus is. Well, he's always peaceful when he's sleeping. I guess that's a bonus of being a heavy sleeper.



Reaper 1: The pink O'Reilly-Mithrilen child. Maybe he will help me to cause catastrophic failure!
Reaper 2: You know you can't even talk to him, right? Plus, he's a toddler. Who likes hot pink. Well, that's going to be difficult. Kind of like Cerberus, he likes yellow but never gets to wear it. Probably because he would look like a demonstration of the primary colors if he did.



Teagan: I've taken to spending my time sculpting. The rest of my house is filled with awful little children.
Shannon: Two of them are yours.
Teagan: I still dislike children. Though Cerberus is alright. Maybe I will like them better when they grow up.
Shannon: You realize we probably won't be around by then. We're kind of old now.
Teagan: Yes. And I managed to be younger than you due to the mysterious way in which the universe works since I had Cerberus when it was time for us to be old! It makes me so happy.



Teagan: Also, seeing my daughter being a genius makes me happy. I wish she would be evil, as well, but one out of two is good.
Shannon: She is a sweet little girl and I will not let you turn her evil. I really should have been the dynasty spouse, not you.
Teagan:  Thanatos is very sweet and not the most intelligent person out there, so I knew that I had to make my move if I wanted to be the important one. You just completely failed to realize that. So I won.
Shannon: This isn't a competition.
Teagan: Because you're losing.



Teagan: My son is good too. I like my children. As long as I don't have to associate with them or be in the same room as them. I really don't know what his major personality traits are, or really care. What's important is that he looks like me!
Shannon: Which he may well regret later in life, if he looks like a girl.
Teagan: My son does not look like a girl! How dare you?



Teagan: But I will forgive you. For now. Because I have a telescope to look through. I'm sure there are evil happenings out there in the galaxy just waiting for me to view them.
Shannon: As long as you're happy and not upsetting anyone else.



Lethe: Why do we have a DJ booth? No one in this family is musically inclined. I certainly am not. I am looking forward to a future of logic, gardening, handiness, and science. Where I will one day become a mad scientist! Wait... is anyone listening to that?
Cerberus: A DJ booth! When I'm older, I will play music! Or whatever it is you do with a DJ booth! And I'll learn the guitar. Because I'm musically inclined!



Fiona: I have discovered the perfect companion for all evil sims, everywhere. The purple dragon! Go, Jakiro, and summon some people for me to take DNA samples from!



Fiona: Well. You are an ugly and boring vampire paparazzi. Stop being passed out on the lawn and leave, please. I have others to summon!
Jakiro: Chirp.
Fiona: You are a dragon, not a bird. Stop making cute noises. Summon someone new!



Fiona: You aren't new. I already have your DNA
Nora Lawless: You're that O'Reilly who turned me into a witch and took a DNA sample, aren't you?
Fiona: Yes. Go away. I don't need you here. We've already got a crowd with these paparazzi.



Cerberus: I shall learn to paint. Just like Aunt Shannon and my dad. Then I can paint portraits of my sister. Everyone will be so proud of me. Plus, I can't learn to play music yet so I need something fun to do!



Teagan: So. Hi.
Lethe: Hi, mother.
Teagan: I have to go now. Enjoy your breakfast.



Lethe: The mysteries of logic will lead me to discovery new and strange potions. Well, new to me anyway. I suppose they are familiar to others.



Cerberus: Do you want to play chess? I think I'm finally starting to figure this game out!
Lethe: Not at the moment, dear brother. I am busy trying to concoct a stink-juice so I may cause chaos.
Cerberus: Oh, okay. I'll just practice then.



Lethe: Well... liquid horror isn't quite the same thing. But it'll do. Now the mature and logical part of my mind is telling me that causing chaos with a potion is a really bad idea. Much like pranking the school or throwing eggs at someone's house. I shall have to put some deep thought into my final decision.



Cerberus: Hey, maybe when he's older, we can both learn to play instruments and have a band or something. Or would that take a lot of work? I don't know.
Lethe: That sounds like it would be a good activity for you one day. Then I can say my little brothers have a band.
Cerberus: He's not our brother. We aren't even related.
Lethe: Styx is like our brother.



Fiona: My little son is going to be awesome. Aside from the whole being good thing, which I still feel terrible about. Maybe I should have visited the spa more and spent less time researching alchemy before I had him. Now he'll probably live his life a good person. And... donate to charity.
Reaper 1: Oh the horror.
Reaper 2: Well, I guess she's bothered by it.



Cerberus: Look, Aunt Shannon, I'm learning to paint so I can be a dynasty painter just like you! It seems so fun.
Shannon: That's nice, but make sure you don't only paint. You should also follow your dream to play music!
Cerberus: I'm going to. But I can't work on that yet.



Lethe: It's time for your first day of school, little brother.
Cerberus: Cool. That sounds fun. I'll get to meet some people.
Lethe: But I don't know if it's the right environment. You are such a kind and friendly person, what if someone is mean to you?
Cerberus: Our mother is Teagan.



Lethe: Look at him! He's too young and sweet to go to school.
Reaper 1: He's the same age everyone is when they go to school. So you can stop freaking out about it.
Lethe: Very well. But if anyone upsets my brother, they will face my wrath though my liquid horror potion!



Cerberus: Oh, this is fun! Are you okay, Lethe?
Lethe: Fine. I am completely fine.

[Geniequeen122]

aww... Lethe is so sweet, being the over-protective parent and all that cute stuff.

I have created a tradition, from now on, I shall post two greek-mythology related and underworld related names on every chapter.
Today's are:
Acheron (river of the underworld, the one that Charon rows across)
and Asphodel

[Shewolf13]

Hehehehe, I love Tegan.  Her and Shannon's byplay is always amusing.  And I LOVE Lethe.  Being a genius and absent-minded is gonna be a lot of fun to play with.  And her over-protectiveness is wonderful.

I'm going to miss Teagan and Shannon a lot, when they are gone. They seem to be the main focus of the story...

Lethe Gets a Part-Time Job

Once upon a time, there was a tale of madness. It was called the Sheogorath Immortal Dynasty and this is not it.



Teagan: So... this is your idea of a break, Shannon?
Shannon: Please be quiet, this is a library and I'm trying to read.
Teagan: Well, fine then. I'll read... better than you!
Mason: Do you two always have to argue?



Shannon: A singer! Let's give him a tip and then let's invite him out to eat! It will be lots of fun, to meet someone new and interesting.
Teagan: Ahahah, he's a terrible singer.
Shannon: You are a really mean person.



Teagan: Wait, you meant it when you said let's take the singer to the bistro? Well, I'm hungry so I won't complain. Too much.
Shannon: Thank you. We're old, we're running out of time here. Don't you think we should mend old wounds and be friends now?
Teagan: No. That wouldn't be fun.



Mason: You're much better company than Shannon and Teagan. All they ever do is argue.
Singer: Yay, free baked angel food cake for me.
Mason: Maybe I should just go and see if Cara will let me stay at her house for the rest of my life. Except there are a lot of people there and they tend not to get along so well. So it might not be that different.
Singer: Can I just eat my cake, please?



Lethe: It's time.
Reaper 2: What are you talking about? It's just barely morning! It's still darkish out.
Lethe: But it's time for my birthday. I'm ready to move on.
Reaper 2: But you have a 'C' in school! Which is really sad, considering you're a genius.
Lethe: There is more to life than my grade. Therefore I shall have my birthday!



Reaper 1: Yes, this is awesome! She'll probably age up not-so-well and acquire some really annoying trait! That will ultimately cause failure.
Reaper 2: I don't see the connection...
Reaper 1: You will. Heheh, her mother is laughing at her.
Reaper 2: Well, Teagan is kind of a terrible person.



Lethe: Please be quiet, reapers. I'm trying to have my birthday here and its difficult to think of a wish with you talking. Although I don't really see the point in wishing when blowing out candles, because the likelihood of it doing anything is extremely low. Nonetheless, I shall engage in the tradition.



Cerberus: Wait... wishing on the cake doesn't work? Does that mean that no one is going to build the giant robots like I wished for as a toddler?
Lethe: Exactly. Now, I must wish.
Cerberus: Oh well. I don't really care about giant robots anymore. Guitars and painting are more awesome!



Lethe: What... what is this hideous thing I am wearing? Perhaps someone likes this, but it is not for me! I must go to the dresser. Everyone else, please eat cake and enjoy yourselves.
Reaper 1: She certainly looked scary after aging up.
Reaper 2: But don't most people?



Lethe: The dresser is conspiring against me! Wait, that doesn't make sense. The dresser isn't sentient. Could this just be that I'm clumsy? Yet I do not think I clumsy. I will blame the dresser. The draw was stuck, I'm sure.
Reaper 1: She's not clumsy. Too bad.
Reaper 2: She's a natural born performer. Which is pretty much pointless, since she plans on being a scientist or something. And that's why she should have gone to school more.



Lethe: You're still so young, little Styx! But before long, you'll be a child. Like my little brother, although he'll actually be a teen fairly soon. Oh dear, he must age soon, I need to be able to keep a close eye on my dear little brother!
Styx: Lee-tay.
Lethe: Yes, that is me! You are fun.



Lethe: I shall help in teaching you to walk. It is a useful skill in life.
Reaper 2: Actually, she looks quite kind now. And not scary at all.
Reaper 1: She will always be scary.



Teagan: You know, I really think maybe Fiona and her son should go and permanently reside at the swimming pool or library or something.
Thanatos: Why? You invited Fiona to live here.
Teagan: Yes, but my whole plan to make Lethe marry Styx is not going to work if she keeps calling him her little brother! I want my plan to work!
Thanatos: That's a strange plan.
Teagan: Never mind. I shall go plot by myself then.



Cerberus: You know, I can do my homework myself. You don't have to help.
Lethe: But I must help my little brother! Besides, homework can be very hard and time-consuming when you don't have someone to help.
Cerberus: Okay. That makes sense.



Lethe: Ah, I have accomplished so much already! But there is still more I can do. Be a good student, despite my terrible grade, I believe I can easily handle having a part-time job as well. My family will be pleased.
Reaper 1: Do you always think out loud?
Lethe: Pretty much.



Lethe: The mausoleum, such a peaceful place. I shall enjoy working here.
Reaper 1: What? Couldn't you work anywhere else in town? I hear the spa is a great place to work.
Lethe: I like the cemetery. It's a lovely place.



Lethe: A Mithrilen? That must be a relative of Styx's then. Hmm, I wonder how long ago they lived here. Back when there were real dragons, maybe? Real dragons... interesting.



Teagan: Ice sculpting, my favorite! Who doesn't love getting to use a chainsaw on a block of ice?
Lethe: I would not know. Please excuse me, I need Aunt Shannon to paint my portrait.
Teagan: Alright. As long as she knows my sculpture will be better.



Sharla: Wow, you're famous and rich! I did not know that. You are now definitely my best friend. I'm so happy I decided to come over and hang out with you.
Lethe: Can I stop posing now? Or are you still taking a picture?



Sharla: I get to do homework in a house full of rich and famous people! I'm so happy.
Cerberus: Who are you?
Sharla: I'm Lethe's friend from school. What are you doing here?
Cerberus: I live here. I'm her brother. I don't like you very much.
Sharla: Well, that was rather uncalled for.



Lethe: Please, stop arguing! The two of you should be friends. That would be nice, wouldn't it? If we were all friends?
Sharla: I'll try. Since you are all rich and famous and I would like to continue hanging out in your house. Though now its getting late and I've got to leave.



Lethe: My mother used to take care of the garden, but now it is my responsibility. Gardening is useful knowledge to a scientist, I believe. It has better be. I will be very disappointed if it turns out that I was thinking of something else and forgot. That happens a lot.
Reaper 1: Yay, useless absent-mindedness!



Fiona: Why must everyone be so old? At this rate, Shannon is going to die before we ever get a deathfish. And that means I've got to learn to cook. How am I supposed to achieve my dream of being an alchemy artisan at this rate?
Teagan: Stop whining and keep cooking.

[Geniequeen122]

Go Lethe! Today's names:
Elysium
Persephone

[Shewolf13]

I love Lethe as a teen!  She's gorgeous!  Wait, a genius got a C?! o.0 I don't think I've ever had that happen XD

[AkonIsAwesome]

Go Lethe! Today's names:
Elysium
Persephone

Oh, more good names! Thanks! I'm really enjoying this naming theme.

I love Lethe as a teen!  She's gorgeous!  Wait, a genius got a C?! o.0 I don't think I've ever had that happen XD

Lethe didn't go to school much, as most her childhood was in the winter and I kept forgetting to make her go anyway... Ah well, I usually don't know what to do with most of my sims traits.

The First Prom

Once upon a time, a girl in white studied logic. Possibly more than one, but this particular one was named Lethe Price...



Lethe: Thus far, my experience as a teenager has been greatly like that I had as a child and I find it quite dull. Why must it take so long to reach young adulthood and be able to go to work? And university, because I'd really like to do that.



Reaper 1: Yes! Go to university! Destroy the very fabric of the universe! It'll be great.
Reaper 2: It doesn't sound great. But I guess she can, when she's all grown up.
Lethe: And once Cerberus and Styx are grown. We'll go together and it'll be fun.
Reaper 1: Wow. That's a long wait. Styx is still a toddler.



Lethe: I shall name this latest star... Charon!
Reaper 1: That's the name of your imaginary friend.
Lethe: Look, I've got limited underworld reference names, okay? And I've got to find a lot of stars. So they are probably all going to have the names of my friends and family. Now... what have I already named stars?



Reaper 1: Yeah... useless absentmindedness... it's not even proving useful to me. Ah well, it's not helping anyone.
Thanatos: Hi! I've been fishing. A lot. Because I need to catch a deathfish as soon as possible, or I'll fail. And it would be kind of depressing if I didn't even get that far.
Reaper 2: By the way, someone named Aquila called the other day. I told her you were away and I have no idea when you'll be back. I hope that's not important.
Thanatos: Probably not. Ha, I shall increase my fishing skills and then locate some angelfish!



Fiona: I would really rather be making elixirs or out collecting people's dna. My dna collection shall be the greatest of all time! But no, I'm stuck here cooking. Shannon, why must you be so old?
Shannon: I'm sorry. We really ought to have caught a deathfish by now. I'm pretty sure lack of deathfish is not a common reason for dynastic failure.
Fiona: Don't you dare cause us to fail! This is important to me, it shall prove the awesomeness of my dna collecting abilities! By the way, I also have my own dna and Shannon's. Because it would not be at all creepy if someone cloned Shannon down the line and married the clone into the family.



Shannon: That would be extremely creepy. And I'm not going to be around long to protect your son from your evil influence. It makes me sad.
Fiona: It makes me happy. Why does he have to be good? I only wanted the best for him!



Fiona: And now I must say farewell to my sweet little toddler son. Ah well, no more diaper changing. That sounds nice.



Teagan: Haha, your son is scary. He has a grumpy face that isn't even cute.
Fiona: How dare you? My son is... well... maybe he'll look better as he gets older.
Reaper 1: Those two are funny. And Shannon. I'm going to miss them. They make this thing interesting.
Reaper 2: Hey, that was almost sentimental! I'm proud of you.
Reaper 3: Potato.



Teagan: And now it is time for my own adorable son to age up! Into a handsome teenager, I'm sure.



Fiona: I hope not. My son shall be better than yours!
Lethe: We're practically like siblings, the three of us. So we don't need to be better than each other! We can all be... wait, what was I saying?
Cerberus: The sparkles!



Cerberus: Yay, I'm a teenagers! I can now go and play the guitar and use the dj booth and basically be useless to the dynasty except when people make me go paint!
Teagan: Go paint. Someone's going to have to replace your Aunt Shannon.
Thanatos: I can paint. That's my skill.
Teagan: Yes. But I want Lethe to have valuable paintings! Which means the artist needs to die off. No offense, my dear son.



Cerberus: Look mother, I'm a dj! Also I got myself awesome new hair and clothes. It's really fun!
Fiona: Teagan, your son looks kind of girly. Heheh, I knew it was a bad thing that he looks so much like you.
Teagan: Leave my son alone! Only I may make fun of my children!



Cerberus: And now I can play my guitar! Only it's kind of boring looking. I should get one that matches me one of these day! It'll be awesome! And one day, I'll be a famous singer and everyone will love and it'll be really nice!



Teagan: Wait a second, why are your teeth pointy?
Cerberus: I went to the store and bought some fake vampire teeth. Or maybe they're werewolf teeth? Anyway, it's fun!
Teagan: Hmm. Well, I guess that must be what you wanted to do, then. Have fun with it. Even if it is weird and totally random.



Lethe: Congratulations! You're getting so grown up, little brother.
Cerberus: Yeah, I guess. Do you want to listen to me play the guitar? Or can we play chess? There's so much fun stuff to do and never enough time to do it all!



Lethe: Actually, it's time to go to the prom. So you might want to get your formal clothes together and then let's go.
Cerberus: The prom! That sounds fun. I don't really know many people, but that's okay! I will have the most fun anyone has ever had a prom. Ever!
Styx: I want to go too.
Lethe: I'm sorry, you'll have to wait until you're older.



Cerberus: Yay, I get to go to the prom and I just became a teen really recently! Wait, is that the annoying snob girl named Sharla?
Lethe: Yes. Hmm, I would like a taxi.



Cerberus: So, Sharla. You are in my limo.
Sharla: Yes. Lethe invited me to the prom 'cause I'm her best friend and she didn't want to deal with all the bad stuff that always seems to happen to people who go alone. So I get to ride in the limo! And be seen with rich and famous people!
Cerberus: I wonder why my sister is going in a taxi instead of the limo. Anyway, I still don't like you, Sharla.
Sharla: That's fine. I still get to ride in the limo and hang out at your house. Plus, you will get to deal with the bad stuff that happens to people who go to the prom alone.



Lethe: I like taxis. They are yellow. Yellow is kind of like orange. Orange is my favorite color. Where was I going, anyway?
Reaper 2: The prom. With your best friend and your brother.
Lethe: Right! Then I'd better go.



Reaper 1: And so the prom happened. And I guess it went well.
Reaper 2: Aside from the part where multiple people refused to dance with Cerberus, which was kind of rude. Though he managed to be prom king somehow. 



Cerberus: Well, that's over with. Now time to sleep! Yay!
Reaper 2: He loves sleeping. A lot.



Reaper 1: And we got a picture of Lethe and her best friend/snobby follower who will probably become a paparazzi.
Reaper 2: You know, she might have a bright career ahead of her. In... um... business or politics or something. I don't really know anything about her except that she's a snob, really.



Styx: I didn't get to go to the prom. So I will rule the kitchen table!

[Geniequeen122]

Oh Styx, Styx, Styx, Styx. You are so cute. Is it wrong to ship him with Lethe? I hope not, because I am.
EDIT: Wait, phone call from Aquila? Is it the Avatar of Valor one? What would she want with the Prices?
Names:
Tartarus
Minos (one of the judges of the dead.)

That is the same Aquila. Which will all be cleared up in Raven's Legacy! When I finally get back from vacation and have my screenshots again... I like to interrelate all my stories, for some reason.

The Cook



Cerberus: After a mid-life crisis, I have decided a new look was in order! Plus, wearing fake teeth all the time is kind of gross.
Reaper 1: That boy is very, very strange. Also, he's a teenager. How could he have a mid-life crisis?
Reaper 2: I think he meant it figuratively. Or something. I don't know.
Reaper 3: Let's go eat a panini.



Lethe: So, why did you completely change your look so soon after you got the last one?
Cerberus: It just wasn't really me. So now I am me! Did you notice we got a nice, new column in the middle of the living room.
Lethe: What? I haven't.



Styx: It's a nice column. It shall be... my column! Now I not only rule the kitchen, but this column! I am Styx, ruler of all random things I choose to rule!
Cerberus: That's... that's nice. I'm going to go paint now.



Styx: And I'm going to dance!
Mason: Hey, look, I have a fellow dancer! See, dancing is a great hobby.
Cerberus: Can you be quieter? I'm trying to concentrate here.



Lethe: Ah, the kitchen finally looks like it belongs. It was so out of place and odd before. This is very nice.
Reaper 2: True. That modern table really didn't fit in Dragon Valley.
Reaper 1: Who cares about the table?
Reaper 2: Well... I kind of do.
Lethe: So do I. Please stop being so mean. Why don't we all get along?
Reaper 1: How about not?



Thanatos: Sculpting is so much fun. Except for metal sculptures. I don't know why, but I have a strange fear of those. So I shall not make them. Until I'm immortal and can carry a death flower around. Then it should be okay.
Reaper 1: You should make a metal sculpture right now!
Thanatos: That doesn't sound like a good idea.



Shannon: Why am I feeling so unusual and floaty?
Fiona: No!! Get back down on the ground like a normal, not-dying old lady!
Shannon: Oh. That makes sense. It's time for me to depart.



Teagan: Heh-heh, I outlasted you. I win!
Shannon: It's not a competition, you know.
Teagan: That's what you always say. Because I always win.



Shannon: Hi, I'm ready to go now. It's good to meet you.
Reaper 12: Um... okay. So no whining or anything?
Shannon: No. I'm good.
Fiona: No! Don't take her! Give Shannon back!
Shannon: Please calm down. I've got to leave now. Goodbye my dear friends and family! I'll see you all again one of these days.



Fiona: How dare she go and die? Who cares if she was into her nineties! I did not want to be the cook. And now I am. I have better things to do with my life than cook all day, every day!
Reaper 1: Wow. Someone is bitter. And also not terribly good at cooking. I shall be victorious! I mean... Thanatos will fail.



Lethe: One day, I'll get to see Aunt Shannon again. When we all go back to the land of the dead. Or wherever it is that reapers live.
Reaper 2: Yeah. I'm not even sure about that.
Reaper 1: Wait... you're coming back here?
Lethe: Yeah. I mean, it doesn't matter if we succeed or not. That's our true home.
Reaper 1: Oh dear. The scary girl with the white eyes is going to live here... forever. I made a mistake, I think. This whole bet was a bad idea.



Cerberus: I shall live up to my Aunt Shannon's expectations! I will become a fabulous musician, singer, and painter. It'll be fun. Especially now that I have a guitar that matches me.



Cerberus: Also, I will continue to play chess. Because my sister and Styx both like to play and I want to be able to compete with them!



Cerberus: Now to earn some money for the family. Except... why is there almost no one around? Come on, people, I'm not a bad guitar player! I've worked quite hard at this! Also listened to a lot of podcasts.



Liam Eames: Why do I suddenly feel that Thanatos Price is my best friend even though I just met him? Strange.
Thanatos: Thank you for visiting the elixir store.
Reaper 1: You need five friends and ambrosia in two days. Heh-heh, I'm going to win. I am. There's no way that Fiona will finish in that time. And knowing this family, you won't last long after you run out of guaranteed time!
Thanatos: Well, that's kind of a gloomy view to take.



Styx: I found a rat. It's cute. Maybe I can befriend it and take it home and share it with Lethe and Cerberus. Maybe they would like a pet too.
Thanatos: How did you get here?
Styx: Hi, uncle Thanatos to whom I am in no way related! I came by after school. Look, it's an adorable rat.



Mason: Wow, another long day at work. Maybe that's why I feel so light? Wait... that makes no sense. It's probably just thinking about poor, old Shannon. I miss her, we were such good friends.



Reaper 12: So... hi. Are you going to be good about this?
Mason: Wait! I'm busy! I don't have time to being dying at the moment. I've got a job and... uh... stuff to be doing.
Reaper 12: That's too bad. It's time for you to move on. And look, the cemetery is right over there. That's convenient.
Mason: I have no choice? Fine then. But I'm going to keep complaining! For... I don't know. As long as I remember to.



Fiona: So... much... cooking... But I'm close. So close. I can see the light at the end of the tunnel! I have finally learned the recipe for ambrosia!
Reaper 1: Wait... no! Thanatos's guaranteed time is up at midnight! Why couldn't you have taken longer? Why did he have to manage to find all those friendship potions? Why did Teagan finally manage to grow a life fruit bush and why'd Thanatos have to finally catch a deathfish? I was so close to victory!



Fiona: This shall be the last thing I cook! Ever! And I don't care if we have to eat quick meals for the rest of our lives. Cooking is not my thing. Alchemy is my life passion! Plus, I'm not even allowed to eat ambrosia. Which is lame since I worked so hard to make it.



Thanatos: Thank you, Fiona! Without you, we wouldn't have made it!
Fiona: Yeah, sure. Eat your ambrosia. I've got things to do. Alchemy things! Also maybe I should spend some quality time with my son. Haven't done that in a while.
Reaper 1: Why? Why couldn't Teagan have been decent enough to die off so that he had to go make a new friend?
Reaper 2: Well. This is happy. I guess. Except for Shannon not making it to see this.



Thanatos: Yay, I'm immortal again! Only also old, which is new. Oh well. Back to painting and sculpting.
Reaper 1: Okay... I'm going to be relying on the absent-minded genius to ruin things now.
