I'm enjoying how Jareth has the unwilling "helper" in Legolas and the unexpected schemer in Loki.  It's a nice contrast to how helpful the others had been in previous generations.

Loki almost looks acceptable with his new hair. From a distance. Possibly without my glasses.

In all seriousness, I'm actually kind of glad that the twins resemble Erik and Arlo more than their mum. Ugly or not, there aren't too many other dynasty heirs who look quite like them!

Considering that they are spawn of Arlo, they could look worse. Hopefully it'll breed out over time--or oh drat, does that jinx it?  ;D No wonder Legolas doesn't like that hair; he's worn it far too often.

Wow... just... wow... I do love the boys' personalities.  The contrast is a lot of fun and I can't wait to see what trouble they get into.

Ha!  They do take a little getting used to...

Thanks, Pip, I don't want it to get boring for y'all.   :D

Yeah, we'll be able to pick them out of any Dynasty line-up, Trip!   :D

I'm hoping Gen 8 comes out normal-ish.  Don't worry, he's not keeping the hair, either.

Wow... just... wow... I do love the boys' personalities.  The contrast is a lot of fun and I can't wait to see what trouble they get into.

Yep, they may not be lookers, but they've got personality;D

Now let's see, where were we...

Chapter Twenty-Six - Carry On

The twins had turned into monsters teens on Thursday night.  Friday they spent the day meeting new friends.  They were surprisingly successful, all things considered.  Legolas was almost in a good mood when Jareth called him that night to do his art.



"Really?" the Goblin King asked.  "Why this particular brand of madness?"

"Loki suggested it, actually.  He said I shouldn't be afraid to explore all my options while I'm stuck here."

"And the real reason?" Jareth sighed.



"I knew it would drive you spare," the Imaginary Elf shrugged.  "Gytha thought it would be a riot."

Loki worked on becoming best friends with everyone in the house.



"But why Super Popular?" Mag asked him.

"I just want people to like me," he told her.  "I'm done with all that burdened with terrible purpose business."

She raised an eyebrow at him.

"I'm only a teen, Mag.  How much trouble can I get into at this stage?"

Saturday was a busy busy day.  First thing was to teach the twins to drive...



"Where's the other motive mobile?" Tia asked.

"What other motive mobile?" Erik asked, looking up from his book.

"We had four.  Everyone, turn out your pockets."

"No one would steal anything that tacky," Jareth protested.

A quick search of everyone's inventory proved that the motive mobile was, indeed, missing.

"It isn't the end of the world," Jareth pointed out.  "We still have three more."

"At 45K LTHP a pop, I would just like remind you who's budget that comes out of, Jareth."  Tia said.

"Right!  Keep an eye out, everyone." Jareth said.

"I don't want to drive this thing.  Why can't I have the motorcycle?" Legolas asked.  "I keep popping wishes for it."

"When you finish your requirements, we'll talk," Tia told him.

"I'm never going to have to sleep again, this is awesome!" Loki cried, as he backed out the driveway and peeled off down the street.

"Do you want to tell him how dorky that looks, or shall I?" Erik asked Jareth.

***

"Lasse!" Tia yelled.  "Put down Erik's guitar and get back out into the greenhouse!  Even with the trees, it's going to take a while to reach level ten in the gardening career, y'know."



The elf held a hand to his ear.  "Wait," he said, "do you hear that?"

Legolas Bunch has been awarded the title of Agricultural Mastermind

"Nice one, bro," Loki interjected.

"Thanks," Legolas gave Loki a quick grin.  "Nobody had cashed in a money bag since Arlo passed away that last time."

Legolas was full of surprises that weekend.  Sunday he called up the only girl he knew and invited her over to the park.  Loki had been busy setting traps on all the benches, so they were careful not to sit.

Ah, Raina.  The face of an angel with the eyesight of a barn owl in full daylight.  They talked and laughed, and finally Legolas asked her to prom.

"I'd love to go!" she gushed.  "I'm just going to wear any old thing since it's tomorrow night anyway."

"Great," Legolas shrugged.  "Come on over and meet Jareth."

Prom was a rousing success.  Loki was Prom King, Legolas and Raina were voted cutest couple ever and started going steady.  Loki even managed to pick up a member of the decorating committee. 

Jareth picked up the phone and called Raina over for a serious conversation.



"I suppose I should tell you right off that I've got Babysitter's Syndrome," Raina began.  "So if this is going to work, you need to make some quick decisions here."

"I suppose Legolas has filled you in on the details of our set up here?" Jareth asked, fiddling with his gloves.

"Some.  I know you're a Dynasty family.  I've got to have one kid, and you have to give me what I want."

"And what do you want, Raina?" he asked, raising a brow.

"Protection.  I want to be a Master Thief.  I'm counting on you to have the clout to get me out of any sticky situations that may arise."

"That's it?" he asked.

"Pretty much," she said.  "The fact that you have pots of money helps."

"Legolas knows all this?" Jareth asked.

"Sure."

He extended his hand.  "Welcome to the family, Raina."



"This is really weird, bro, even for us." Loki confessed.  "Your girlfriend is two weeks younger than Mag!"

At least Loki finally has a throne somewhere. :P

"Ahaha! Bow down before your new King! Bow, I say!" "Dude, we got the crown out of the Halloween clearance bin at the Wal-Mart, calm down." "Silence! I am a god and this is my birthright!" *attacks everything with magic in a hissy fit and prom is subsequently over*

And "cutest couple"? Sunset Valley, why do you always do this? You gonna tell him he should have five kids, too?

Well, at least Raina is upfront and honest about her less-than-honorable motives, and hey--we all knew the kid's looks certainly weren't going to get him any interest! Cutest couple . . . hm, think that was sarcasm? I bet Loki convinced everyone to vote them that just as a joke.

You ain't kidding, Trip!

He'll probably loose all his hair again by the end of this, Shewolf, from pulling it out.   ;)

Loki is definitely working on his people skills, I wouldn't put it past him.

The ongoing babysitter conundrum strikes again. Sigh...aging is such a fickle thing. :P

I don't actually mind the aging thing too much, since I don't have to wait forever for them to move on to their great reward in the afterlife, if you know what I mean.

Quick note, I've got some health problems going on, so Gwendy has come home for a bit to help me out.  She's also helping me get this update up, since y'all have had to wait too long for it.  Gwendy's portion of the story will be in italics, mine in regular font.

Chapter Twenty-Seven - Featuring L'il Gwendy

I'm five foot eight, Mother.

You said you needed a rapper name.  All the girls are L'il Something.

What does that make L'il Wayne, then?

Story, kiddo, story.  What's going on?

Absolutely sweet nothing all.

Not true.  The twins have aged up again.  They even graduated.



Anybody nominated to have five kids?

Well, Loki was voted most popular.

And Thor continues to cry.

He was also valedictorian.  Legolas was most likely to be a rock star. Mag is still our best dressed sim.

Legolas, with the clock ticking, and Gytha's interest in Raina...

Oh, you mean Barn Owl?

...decided to pop the question.  Do we really need this picture?



Well, yeah, there's five seemingly obligatory pictures you need in these things.  The engagement, the wedding, the woohoo, the vomit and then the baby.  The vomit and the woohoo are negotiable, but you need the other three.

Uh-oh.

What's uh-oh?

I don't think there's a wedding picture.

What?  You had one job, Mother.  One job!  Well, okay, a lot of jobs, but still.  Was it at least a boring wedding where nothing happened so we didn't miss much?

Yes, yes, it was.  She had to go to work and he had to change.  Wanna see?



I think the cheaters really help.

Cheaters?

Sunglasses.  I'm old.  Not Gran old, but old.  And here's our Loki.



I think there was a mix up somewhere.

Playing with Arlo is like getting married early.  A lot of fun at the beginning but the results last a long long time.

I don't know, it bred out pretty quick in the direct line with Drizz.  And don't you dare go insulting my Arlo, he was a champ!

Anyway, Loki has joined the political career.  Any comments?

Nah, that sounds about right. Also, this happened.



I wanted him to join the sideshow.

What's the skill in, demon possession?  Arlo back from the grave?  'Jareth, the goblins demand amendments to this bill!  What do?'

And then after the exorcism, Erik aged up and was eligible for ambrosia.

Wonderful!  You have a picture for that one, right?

Er..

Six!  It's a good thing this place runs on the honour system!
