CHAPTER FORTY-SEVEN

I AM GOING TO SMASH SOMETHING!

Tatiana: CODE RED! CODE RED! SOMEONE GET THE MEDICATION!

Beatrix: We're having some technical difficulties with images, please stand by for a bit...*chair flies past head*

Victoria: WE'RE DOOMED!

Ilmestyskirja: Guys, she's always like this when something doesn't go right, nothing to worry ab-*computer flies past* I'LL KILL YOU LOON!

Larisa: Should've seen her when she was fourteen. Whole other level of ballistic.

I'M GOING TO SMASH THE COMPUTER TO LITTLE PIECES AND MAIL A DIFFERENT PIECE TO EACH COUNTRY ON EARTH.

Margrethe: Yay, this means I can write today!

%%%%

Hey guys, it's Margrethe! Loon's yelling because she got a bunch of great screenshots last night, but whenever she tries to upload them to the gallery they show up as images from when I was a baby. She's pretty frustrated, but I don't mind because I can do my chapter sooner! I even get to look at her notes, isn't that great?

...though I don't understand some of her abbreviations...daddy, you're smart, you want to help me?

Jimmy: *hiding under the desk* O-of course...pass them down here...alright, while I figure these out, why don't you show everyone a little treat Loon had been saving?

Oh, yeah! She wanted to show you guys a picture of herself that she looks really good in!



Jimmy: Okay, I'm done. It was a bit difficult, though, she alternates hands when she's writing and smudges everything up.

Thanks daddy! Alright, lets begin!

Before we get to the part that's all about me, some extra things. Daddy was having a mid-life crisis and wanted to spend 10,000 dollars remodeling the house, so we had something really cool built for Mama: a big, fancy underground garage with lots of cars! All of the cars owned over the years are down there, my great great grandfather's Prius, my grandpa's Volkswagen, daddy's old convertible, and a random vintage car. I hope Mama lets me drive it someday, it looks so cool!



Mama couldn't get one of the people she needs to play chess against to come over, so she went down to the consignment shop where she worked at the hobby shop register, put in a chess board, and beat her from there. She made it to level three of the circut AND drew a crowd. Way to go Mama!



I have a big family living in the house, but since Mama married a townie she grew up with, I also have family outside of the house, too! Isn't that great? Loon showed me the family tree she made, but it looked a bit confusing, so she explained it to me.

Daddy has a younger brother named Garland and a father named Micah, who peed on the floor at his wedding. Before he married Mama, he was dating a girl named Tamra Dye. Tamra has a sister named Kesha, a biological father named  Salvador, and a mother named Melonie. Well, after my Daddy married Mama, Salvador Dyed (hahaha, get it?), and Melonie and Micah started dating. So I have a step-grandma, a grandpa, an uncle, two step-aunts, a dad, a mom, a grandma, a great grandma, and a great great grandma! How cool is that? Well, grandpa died while I was a toddler, and I never got to meet him, but...

Anyway, I decided to go visit my uncle Garland. He was really nice and talked to me outside of his house for a while.



My step-aunts were having a party, so I went over to their house with uncle Garland. Apparently they live on the same street as I do!



I could only stay for a little while because I had to go home and go to bed, but before I left Loon looked around the house and yelled "HEY LOOK, IT'S FAT VITA ALTO!" (Mama said she was playing after she took her sleep medication and some painkillers because of her teeth and she was real loopy).



I went to school and it was fun. On Friday we went on a field trip to the cemetery. Loon complained because her field trips consist of too many trips to Washington D.C., and she hates it there. One of the security guards was real mean to her because she used to wear a back brace the last time she went.

Elisabeth: Margrethe, we don't talk about that.

Oops, sorry Loon...anyway, after the trip I stayed behind and visited with grandpa Micah.



I don't really like wearing my everyday wear all that much. I mean it's really really pretty and I like it, but it's boring wearing it all the time! I went to the park on the other side of the river to play, and I decided to wear my nightgown!



Playing in the sand with your bare feet is great! Another girl named Candi sat with me, but she didn't say anything. I guess she was intimidated by my fashion sense.



While I was out playing, Mama saved the day at the warehouse grandma Tati used to vandalize when she was a teenager. Mama went there to discuss some equipment needs for the hospital with a politician, and this man just started throwing up all over the place!



Later that night we got a phone call telling us that one of grandma Tati's friends died. She was really sad and went to bed early.



I went outside to play for a little while longer before going to bed. I can't start working on my SuperMax until I'm a teenager, so I have a lot of free time!

Grandma Tati always warned me about The Claw when I was a baby and took care of me because Mama worked real long hours at the hospital and Great Victoria enslaved Daddy so that she could have help in her garden (she has over a hundred plants!). When I was about ready to go to bed, it attacked me!







HELP!



The Claw had mercy, so it let me go to bed.



I don't know why everyone complains about me sleeping in my everyday wear, it's comfy!



A burglar came in the middle of the night! I slept through it. I was too busy dreaming about being a dinosaur!



Daddy is such a drama queen.

this.was.hillarious!!! I literally died laughing! I lovee your hat in the first picture so much, where did you get it?

[Eldridge]

Hahaha! Just look at someone who shares her picture. You're look great with that hat and I love your expression Do you have any problem at loading thing after reaching 4th generation? Just curious

What a fun way of writing in this chapter, so hilarious. Bravo!

[Crazylittleloon]

this.was.hillarious!!! I literally died laughing! I lovee your hat in the first picture so much, where did you get it?

I'm glad you found it funny! I actually was raging pretty badly at the time (my mom actually had to come downstairs and yell at me to shut up), so it fit.

I got it at a small store by where my house in New York is.

[Crazylittleloon]

Hahaha! Just look at someone who shares her picture. You're look great with that hat and I love your expression Do you have any problem at loading thing after reaching 4th generation? Just curious

What a fun way of writing in this chapter, so hilarious. Bravo!

Ha, thanks. I have a huge collection of strange hats, and I was taking pictures of me wearing all of them and posting them to my Twitter. I took a second look at that picture and thought "hey, I actually look pretty good in that one" (I'm ridiculously unphotogenic).

No, actually, everything runs pretty smoothly. I just have to give it a few minutes on pause when it first loads up to it can get itself together, and then everything runs just fine.

Glad you liked it!

[Hallucination]

You resemble one of my cousins to a highly disturbing extent. On a different note, Margrethe is hilarious. I love how you connected the Attack of the Claw interaction to an Insane Sim strangling herself.

[Pyro0001]

Margrethe seems like a very sweet child. I love insane sims .  Sorry about the burglar. We've all been having so many burglars recently! No wonder I've become sick, with all the stress I'm under about them threatening my dynasty.

[Nettlejuice]

Margrethe is so sweet, I don't want her to grow up.

[Crazylittleloon]

Weird...if you live in New York or eastern Finland then we possibly could be cousins.

I just randomly came up with the connection as I was writing. My screenshot meathod is to snap a bunch of shots and upload them all, then delete the ones I don't use. I can't remember what my original idea was, but it came out as the Claw.

[Crazylittleloon]

Margrethe seems like a very sweet child. I love insane sims .  Sorry about the burglar. We've all been having so many burglars recently! No wonder I've become sick, with all the stress I'm under about them threatening my dynasty.

The first ever Sim I created was my character Larisa, and she and her mother had the insane traits. It's a nice nostalgic trait for me (and I also have the trait myself  ).

I've since deleted the file because I pretty much did everything there was to do with just the base game (I didn't get an expansions for a while), but I got one burglar. Then I didn't get any burglars until August.

For the record, I got my first burglar in December 2012 when I got the game. Then nothing until August 2013. Now I get them every other day.

[Crazylittleloon]

Margrethe is so sweet, I don't want her to grow up.

I don't want her to grow up either, but she's been a teenager for a while now.

CHAPTER FORTY-EIGHT

Funny story. I got particularly fascinated by the backstories of two minor characters in my NaNoWriMo'13 novel, a friend of Noelle's and her older sister, named Anne and Cecilia. Their parents died, so they lived with their grandmother for a while, but then their grandmother died and it was just the two of them. Cecilia dropped out of school and stayed home all day making wine and selling it to liquor stores for money (though she told Anne that she made grape juice and sold it to grocery stores). I really liked the idea, so I made them and their grandmother, set them up in Twinbrook, killed the grandmother off, and went from there. Then I felt sad because they have no family and get on just fine, while Noelle has an extremely dysfunctional family (which is actually an allegory to my mental health when I was a kid) and doesn't manage very well.

Margrethe: This literary analysis by an emotionally constipated creative writing major was brought to you by the letter seven and the number blue.

Victoria: "Emotionally constipated"?

It means that I lack the ability to give a rat's tail about stuff. Also known as "having senioritis since third grade".

Tatiana: ...that explains a lot.

Margrethe spent all of Sunday dressed as a dinosaur. All requests to put some proper clothes on were met with loud roars and biting.



NO, MARGRETHE! SHE'S AN OLD LADY, YOU'LL GIVE HER A HEART ATTACK!

Beatrix: You know my family, Loon. I've woken up to my paternal grandmother possessing my bed while I was in it, I think I can handle a ten-year-old in a dinosaur costume.

...oh...right...



Margrethe really enjoys the treehouse. No other child in the family has touched it, but I'm constantly fighting with her to go do the things she needs instead of camping out up there.



Elisabeth called her down to do some tutoring, but since Margrethe is already at the top of her class the action keeps canceling itself after a few minutes. What's Elisabeth to do?



Why, find some random kid in the neighborhood and tutor him!



There was a protest going on at City Hall during this time, and guess who decided to show up? Why, our dear Tatiana, of course!



We got some property buying underway, and Elisabeth now owns Wilsonoff Community Theatre. She's doing pretty well so far! In fact, she was recently promoted to Infectious Disease Researcher! Go Elisabeth!

Margrethe played with Gustav for hours and hours, almost refusing to go inside for lunch.



Her cheeks are frequently victim to the elders. Not even her mighty dinosaur roars can keep them away!



Beatrix passed Margrethe on her way to go shopping the next day. Margrethe had made it onto the honor roll at school, then went and completed the "Pile of Permission Slips" opportunity. I've noticed that she always goes to school in her formal wear, which is also my favorite outfit for children in Sims. Victoria had it as her formal wear as a child. Funnily enough, it was also the everyday wear of generation five in my first dynasty, who was also an insane gothic lolita. Same hairstyles and everything!



Beatrix was busy trying to clean the mess made by the broken dishwasher while Elisabeth helped Margrethe with her homework in front of the garbage disposal.



Margrethe reminds me a lot of when I was a kid. Long blonde hair (only mine was platinum), brown eyes, and completely nuts. I yelled and screamed a lot. At least Margrethe is easier to deal with than I was!



Elisabeth had a free clinic to do at the park on Tuesday. Her patients included an insane man Margrethe had befriended at the bookstore over the weekend and her stepsister-in-law Tamra Dye (who also happened to be Jimmy's ex-girlfriend...now that's a twisted family tree if I've ever seen one).





Later that night, Elisabeth discovered a neutron star. I had her name it Jimmy, not for her husband, but for my own sick need to sneak nerd humor into everything I do. Anyone else watch Jimmy Neutron as a kid?



The next morning was Margrethe's teen birthday. Make a wish and hope you're nothing like me when I was thirteen!







And we have a Savvy Sculptor! Now lets fix these clothes...



Jeez, she's almost an exact copy of generation five in my first dynasty, only she had black hair and red eyes instead!

Everyday:



Formal:



Sleep:



The elegant gothic lolita style is in full swing here!

Margrethe wasn't the only one in the house who had a birthday today...

[Crazylittleloon]

CHAPTER FORTY-NINE

Since I plan on making Gustav real right away, I had to do some massive renovations to the house. I built a bedroom for Margrethe to move into, and Gustav will sleep in the nursery until further notice.

I'm completely in love with Margrethe's room. I used a bunch of Halloween stuff along with the purple/orange color scheme. Beware, it hurts your eyes at first, but once you adjust it looks quite nice.



I also built a small bathroom and a sculpting studio on the third floor, which is filling up fast. I might need to build a fourth floor soon! I won't be including ice sculptures in the museum because the rooms are really small, but I will have a small surprise in order that I'll reveal at the end of the dynasty.



Gustav and Margrethe have become best friends over the years, and now it's time.



After some shameless theivery from Elisabeth's logic room, Margrethe gave the Imaginary Friend Metamorphium Potion to Gustav.



Lets light this candle!

Tatiana: How is that phrase relevant?

I just like saying it, okay?!



Margrethe: Who would have thought I would have spent my childhood carrying a hunk around in my pocket!

Gustav's traits are Neurotic, Daredevil, Workaholic, and Snob!



I forgot to grab some pictures of the modifications that I made to his hair and clothes, but Gustav looks quite nice. He has really lovely blueish-green eyes and I'll let him keep the green hair for now. He looks pretty good with Beatrix's hair color, so I might switch it to that when he gets older. I just really want the next generation to have Beatrix's hair color.

Victoria: Why?

Because I need it for the plot!

Victoria: What plot?

Elisabeth: I'll tell you later. Maybe while on a trip to France or Egypt.

Anyway, I got Margrethe moving along on her requirements. Before sending her to the new sculpting studio, I sent her to the computer to purchase Divisadero Budget Books and the Riverfront Swim Club, which I spent a few hours working on to make it look less shady. No wonder almost nobody ever goes there!











Elisabeth spent some time tutoring Gustav while Margrethe hammered away at a block of clay. I realized, much to my horror, just how crowded the house had become. There's one spot left in the house, and after Jimmy passes away there will only be room for the next generation's spouse. Either I'm going to have to bend the rules a little and get generation six pregnant before she gets married, or a tragic accident has to happen. Anybody got any tips?



Margrethe shares in my worries, only she has a different way of expressing it.



There was an interruption to my deep thinking when Elisabeth aged up to adult right after she completed the Skill Professor Challenge. Woo!





Maybe I'll have Margrethe and Gustav wait until they're far into the adult stage to have the next generation. Yeah, I think that'll work. Give them time to work on careers without worrying about a baby, though Beatrix will be really peeved.

Oh well. Enjoy this picture of Margrethe eating dinner in her formal wear and going to school in her athletic wear.

[Nettlejuice]

Ha, Jimmy Neutron!

Happy birthday, Margrethe! She's looking very beautiful. Welcome, Gustav to the real world.

[Crazylittleloon]

Ha, Jimmy Neutron!

Happy birthday, Margrethe! She's looking very beautiful. Welcome, Gustav to the real world.

Darn my need for nerd humor! It was really bad in my first dynasty, I had a hydrophobic sim named Ophelia for generation three. I told my English teacher and he yelled at me (Ophelia was a character in Shakespeare who drowned herself). 

He's really loving the real world so far. He and Margrethe haven't started dating yet, but I'll get on that soon.
