A Color-ful Legacy-Chapter 42 A Universal Overview

[molly4000]

Watcher: When we last left the family they were happi-
Lilac: We're not in a reality show!
Watcher: As you can see she's started a garden to make potions with.

Marc: Are you my good girl Iris? Yes you are! Yes you are!
Iris: Dada!

Celeste: Dada love Mama!
Lilac: I hope they look like you.
Marc: I don't know, you're the most beautiful in the room.

Lilac: Oh, Marc their beautiful! You didn't have too!
Watcher: Awww! Now let Marc get back to painting portraits.

Lilac: How about giving me a little good luck kiss?
Marc: Whatever you'd like m'lady!

Marc: I don't know. I think we need to celebrate more.
Lilac: Mmm-hmm. Whatever you want.
Watcher: *gagging* Those children are going to be scarred for life.

Watcher: What are you so happy about?
Lilac: The twins finally went to sleep. Thank God!
Watcher: What about you Marc?
Marc: I got hungry, so I took a break from painting.
Watcher: Back to the drawing board!
Marc: But I'm craving hot dogs...

Lilac: Maybe you'll be the heir Celeste! Can you say heir yet?
Celeste: Mama
Lilac: *Sigh*
Watcher: Picking favorites, huh?
Lilac: Ssshhhhh.....

Lilac: What do you think Iris? Why should you be heir?
Iris: I like Dada!
Watcher: I guess we have a daddies girl!

Watcher: Why are you up again at 3 in the morning?
Lilac: The laundry is bothering me, again!
Watcher: *Sigh* At least you changed into something more appropriate; those children don't want to see you wearing, well, barely anything.

Watcher: *Squeal* Seeing those babies must have triggered another have a child wish!

Watcher: Gardening in maternity again, huh?
Lilac: I can use sim expression!
Watcher: If the neighbors complain it's your fault.

Lilac: These butterflies are beautiful! I wonder what kind they are.
Watcher: Yeah, yeah. Just catch the butterflies so you can make the potion.

Watcher: You're exhausted! What are you making?
Lilac: Potent invigorating elixirs for the twins become toddlers.
Watcher: I think you one now...

Marc: Lilac! Please quit throwing potions at me!
Lilac: You can thank me later when you realize you can stay awake for 24 hours.
Watcher: Back to the easel, Marc!
Marc: Ugh, I only have to endure this the rest of my life.

And so the happy family starts out to look forward to a new day full of strange things to happen in the next up-
Lilac: This is not television! 

[Shewolf13]

lol that was adorable.  I love your by-play with the family ^^

[molly4000]

Thanks Shewolf13! I didn't know if that was the best way to write a story but I think I like it better that way.

[molly4000]

Well, today a lot of things are happening, but Lilac asked me to wait so it would surprise you soooo-


Watcher: Marc, go to sleep! Stop screaming at your children!


5 a.m. in the morning

Lilac: Marc! It's the twins birthday! I want them aged up as soon as possible!
Marc: Lilac! I'm trying to sleep!
Watcher: Marc! Get over here now!
Marc: Fine but I won't be happy about it.

Watcher: I happen to disagree.

Marc:*thinking* My little girls are growing up to soon.
Lilac: Come on Celeste! Let''s see your toddler cuteness!
Watcher: Guys! When you bend the fabric of the universe, you can get stuck!
Celeste:*thinking* Finally, I can get out of that horrible swing.
(Watchers note: I don't know why but the game keeps putting that horrible makeup on Lilac. I'm going to try and fix before the next post.)



Celeste: Aaahhh! Take me to a mirror!
Watcher: Okay, okay! You know, you look a lot like your mother.

Lilac: Okay, everyone back in the kitchen!
Marc: Yay! Another birthday!
Watcher: Yay! You'll have enough cake to last the rest of your lives!

Watcher: Aw! You actually grew up in cute clothes, and no crossed eyes!
Marc: Who's daddies little girl?
Iris: Me! *thinking* I'll have him wrapped around my finger by the time I'm a kid!

Lilac: The TRIANGLE goes there.
Celeste: Square goes there.
Watcher: Watcher goes elsewhere.

Celeste: Not the swing again! Nnnnooooo!!!

Watcher: Wow! [insert sims name here] is still singed. Does she ever shower?
Lilac: I know! Casting an ice blast will reverse the damage!
Watcher: I don't think that's the way to do it.


Watcher: Well, going to the library seems to trigger your births.
Lilac: Just get me home!
Watcher: Are you sure? There are children there.

Watcher: This is literally a new low; you are below the house.

Watcher: A boy!
Marc: I think we should call him Cobalt.

Welcome to Twinbrook Cobalt! Here is the nursery Lilac built, with the twins exhausted from their first day as toddlers.

[Shewolf13]

Awww! Babies!

[molly4000]

Thanks for your comments Shewolf!

[molly4000]

Marc: Hey Colby! Do you like brown? Yes you do! Yes you do!
Watcher: We are not nicknaming him Colby! That's my favorite cheese!
Marc: I'll just eat you up! You're as yummy as cheese!

Lilac: Come on Iris! One foot in front of the other!
Iris: I wakling!
Watcher: We're teaching you to talk next.

Lilac: Now it's your turn Celeste!
Celeste: Yeah! I'm learning motor skills important for the rest of my life!
Watcher: You're my new favorite Celeste.

Watcher: Aww! Aren't you two adorable, even that pouting face.

Celeste: Whhaaa???
Iris: Mommy!

Lilac: Yes Iris?
Iris: Celeste toy gone!

Celeste: Poof!

Lilac: Your witch powers are starting to come in.
Celeste: It's back, yay!
Watchers Note (I had no idea that witch children did that.)

Marc: Your just as beautiful as your mommy!

Lilac: One day you will have to go on dates with boys.
Celeste: Boys stinky.
Watcher: Moving on...

Lilac: When the boys cook for you it will all be better.
Celeste: When do I get to eat? This conversation is making me hungry.
Watcher: Let's go age up Cobalt instead, this lesson isn't going very well.

Marc: Yeah Colby!!!
Watcher: You're going to be eating cake for generations!
Cobalt: Be quiet watcher! Happy birthday moment here.

Marc: Here we go!

Watcher: 2 with Lilac's hair; 1 with Marc.

Cobalt: *thinking* Can someone help me? I don't know where this goes!

[Shewolf13]

lol, I really love your interactions with them.  It's a lot of fun.

[molly4000]

lol, I really love your interactions with them.  It's a lot of fun.

Thanks again Shewolf! Posting will probably be erratic for a while, with school starting and such. I'm going to the a family tree up (http://www.familyecho.com/?p=R3B67&c=ekk1wqscwk&f=682822414558284845) but it will include spoilers. The family tree will become confusing after a few generations.
-------------------------
Lilac: One day you will get married to a handsome man, Celeste.
Celeste: Marred by handsome man?
Watcher: Lilac, you need to teach this girl what's important like skills and honor roll and-
Celeste: Roll's are yummy!

Lilac: You might have the next generation and become the heir.
Celeste: Babies need shoes. Shoes are expensive, stocks in shoe companies are down. Shoes and babies bad.
Watcher: You were a baby just 3 sim days ago.
Celeste: Thank goodness my cognitive processes don't remember that.
Lilac: I brought you into this world, I can take you back out!

Lilac: These are the building blocks for our legacy.
Celeste: Legs aren't made from blocks, silly mommy!
Watcher: I can't wait to send her off to school. Less people to bombard my ears.

Lilac *whispers*: But always remember the watcher gets grumpy in the morning.
Celeste: Hehehe!

Watcher: You two look so much alike. I hope I don't mix you up.
Cobalt: I'm not a GIRL!!!
Watcher: Okay! But you're going to have to speak into the my left ear! I'm going deaf in my right.

Lilac: Okay Iris! Maybe we'll have better luck teaching you to talk. What do you like?
Iris: Wecipes and cooking.

Iris: Boys can be mean.
Lilac: How do you know that? That's garbage.
Iris: Watcher said she was going to the ear person to clear her deafness.

-------
Sorry about the short update, I'm a little busy so there will probably 3 updates between Sunday and Monday. Thanks for reading!

[molly4000]

Lilac: Are you going to become an author Iris?
Iris: Otter?
Watcher: An otter is an animal, Iris.
Lilac: She's trying to learn here!
Watcher: I wonder if sims have a mute button.

Lilac: But someday even your sister will be gone.
Iris: Sissy asleep.
Watcher: She needs to learn life skills, like holding parties! Not about the Grim Reaper.

Watcher: Lilac! You are scaring these children!
Lilac: What is your idea of a good place then?!

Lilac: The laundry room! Really!?
Watcher: This is the only empty room in the house! Plus your husband needs to keep painting.
Lilac: Ugh! You're hopeless!
Watcher: That's my line!

Lilac: Awww! Another boy, he's so handsome...
Watcher: How can you tell? All babies look the same to me.
Lilac: Don't listen Timothy! 'Cause your my little man! Yes you are!

Watcher: Tired?
Lilac: Leave me alone.
Watcher: I didn't need to ask.

Marc: It's so cold out here! Watcher! Can I go in?
Watcher: Keep painting Marc. You'll be remembered as the painting hero.
Marc: *sigh* Fine. At least I'll be remembered as the goth guy who paints.

Marc: This, this is our life.
Lilac: At least we're together.
Watcher: Yep, a "normal" evening in this house.

Watcher: Where are you going?
Lilac: I will miss Marc's Aunt Dahlia dearly-
Watcher: You never met her.
Lilac: As I was saying, I will miss her but she gave us 30,000 dollars. I'm going to go get a really expensive massage whether you want me to or not.
Watcher: I think it will help you get enough LTHP to get a young again potion for future generations.

Watcher: Marc! Lilac had better not see what you're dreaming about...


Lilac: Why are there 2 cak-, oh...
Watcher: Yep! It's the twins birthday!
Lilac: Who's going to be heir?
Watcher: I don't know.

Celeste: Yay! I'm going to be a child!
Watcher: Lilac! It's not you who's aging up!
Marc: My girl is still growing up too fast!

Celeste: I'm tired of this, sparkles! Hurry up!

Celeste: Mom? I may need contacts!
Lilac: Oh, dear. Let me find those parenting books.
Watcher: I think it's normal, if your twin does the same thing we'll know. Marc-
Marc: Lemme guess, go paint.
Watcher: As soon as Iris ages!

[Shewolf13]

LOL!  Inheritance is a great LTR.  Though I would suggest the Genie lamp, same amount of LTHP but when you wish for fortune once, you get about 100,000.  Though... can't for the life of me remember what EP that comes with... so you may not have that one heh XD  Just a suggestion though.

But I really love your interactions with them.  Never fails to have me lol'ing.  And then I get weird looks from my husband lol, but that's ok. 

[molly4000]

Thanks SheWolf! I really enjoy writing this story, my sarcastic family inspired the watcher character. I think inheritance is one of the best LTRs. I think the genie lamp LTR must come with night life or showtime, because I don't have either of those. I'm going to try and post another update tonight, and your comments are always appreciated!

[molly4000]

Watcher: Blow Iris! Blow!
Iris: Why?
Lilac: Because I have to raise 5 children! Now blow!
Marc: Lilac! Did you get any sleep last night?
Lilac: Would you like to answer that Watcher?
Watcher: *crickets chirp*

Iris: Where did everyone go? I'm aging up!
Celeste: Sorry! I need to get a makeover BEFORE anymore pictures of me show up!
Watcher: Where's the paparazzi when you need 'em?

Watcher: What happened to the rest Iris's pictures?
Celeste: I relocated them to a different file and removed the memory.
Watcher: In high school you should join forces with the nerds.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Celeste: Since I was named after a star of sorts, I went with "starry" outfits.








-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Celeste: Mom, I'm going to take a nap!
Lilac: Okay, but after that come play with Timothy!
Watcher: You know, I thought I had more pictures of Timothy as a baby... I need to go interrogate Celeste.
Lilac: Too late, she's fast asleep.


Iris: Yay, a makeover!
Watcher: Good. That beige is UGLY!

Iris: Where did the other pictures of my makeover go?
Watcher: Celeste!
Iris: I'll get her! She stole my spotlight! I can't believe her!

Celeste: Ow! Mom!
Lilac: Ooof! That hit me in the jaw!
Watcher: Don't break her!

Marc: And then the snake swallowed them, and they were never seen again...
Iris: Yeah!!! Best ghost story ever!
Watcher: Great start to father daughter day, huh?
Iris: Ssshhhh! Mom doesn't know I'm skipping school...

[Shewolf13]

LOL!  hehehe, skipping school for father/daughter day.  She shouldn't get TOO mad... then again, this is the Sims where you can't cancel the scolding action XD

[molly4000]

Narrator: After Celeste heads off to school, Marc and Iris for some father-daughter bonding before she goes off to boarding school.
Iris: Who hired the Narrator?
Marc: I don't kn- OW!
Watcher: Yeah! Hit him the gut Iris!

Marc: That's it! You've had it coming!
Watcher: Go Marc! Show her no Mercy!
Iris: Ooof!!! Whose side are you on anyway?!

Iris: Daddy! Quit cheating!
Marc: I'm not cheating! I've just... mastered skating.
Watcher: Your lying is worse than your cooking.
Marc: *scoffs* I'll have you know I have 1 skill point in cooking.
Iris: Daddy, quit while your behind.

Iris: These are beautiful butterflies! I wonder what they're doing out here in the cold...
Watcher: Like mother like daughter...
Iris: What? Was that you having a sentimental moment?
Watcher: No, just you saying that has injured my pride.
Iris: What pride? You're a watcher.
Watcher: Your mother has taught you well.

Marc: Iris! Come get some of this cocoa, its really good!

Iris: Sorry dad. I'm too busy eating this apple pie!

Narrator: While some of our characters are having fun, others are doing some not so fun things.
Lilac: Narrator, your fired. I don't need everyone to know!
Watcher: You enjoying that?
Lilac: Jerk.

Iris: This is the best father-daughter day ever!
Marc: Yeah, but my silly face is better!
Iris: Sure it is...
Watcher:

Back at home...
Lilac: How was your day Celeste?
Celeste: Okay, but I didn't see Iris. Weren't we supposed to be in all the same classes?
Lilac: Hmmm... Marc took today off too. I think we have some skippers today.
Celeste: Oh, well. Dad and I are BFF's, so maybe they needed some time together.

Celeste: You know what makes my day better?
Lilac: Pillow-fight!

Watcher: There! Now they'll always remember father-daughter day.

Lilac: Timothy! Why are you on the floor?
Timothy: Toddler time!

Watcher: 2 with Lilac's hair, 2 with Marc's! I wonder what the fifth will be!
Timothy: Who Marc?
Lilac: Watcher! Get Marc away from the easel and towards his children!

Lilac: Show them the other picture!
Watcher: Why?
Lilac: Because that picture shows the resemblance!
Watcher: I still don't see it.

Lilac: See the watcher records us for a story-
Watcher: And there's another 3000 HP!
Cobalt: Can I go now?

And I'll conclude this update with a really random picture I took:
