A Royal Immortal Dynasty - Chapter Forty (15/10/2013)

CHAPTER FORTY

Sixteen days left until NaNoWriMo...oh dear...

Tatiana: You'll be fi-NO THE BARRIER BROKE AGAIN!

Amber: WHHHHHHYYYYYYY?

Ilmestyskirja: You're dead, Amber.

Amber: We were in the same story, so that must mean that you're dead too!

Ilmestyskirja: Nope. I am not even human.

Amber: ...what are you...?

Ilmestyskirja: Alien. Starship commander. Saved your ancestor's sorry rear in 2016 and technically in 2012 as well.

Tove: Yo.

Tatiana: What do you mean by "technically"...?

Anneli: Time travel accident.

GUYS! SHOO!

Noelle: But I can't!

...this is what I have to put up with.

%&%&%&%

Fun fact, I had to do the wedding twice! The game crashed to the desktop the first time around, so I had to redo everything, including half of the bachelorette party. All of the screenshots are from the first try.

Looks whose ex girlfriend showed up to the wedding! Tamra Dye, Jimmy's ex-girlfriend, who he dumped for Elisabeth. I didn't even invite her! I have seen crazy things happen at weddings!

Tatiana: Loon, the only wedding you have ever been to was your cousin's and you tried to push the bride in the pool.

I WAS THREE! This is actually a true story. I also crashed her bachelorette party and tried to get my aunt to let me stick my finger in a beehive.



After the initial chaos of trying to seat everyone and keep Brent out of the fire pit, the ceremony could begin.





TATIANA!!!



Alright, time to cut the cake!



Elisabeth and Jimmy sat with Brent as they enjoyed their cake. Surprisingly, almost none of the guest took a slice of cake and instead went after the stuffed turkey sitting out on the buffet table.



Of course, Jimmy's father Micah had to ruin everything by forgetting to go to the bathroom. After he peed on the floor, he ran home and the game crashed.



As soon as everyone left, Jimmy and Elisabeth set off for France with Beatrix in tow. I'm bringing her along because she is only two points away from Visa Level Three, so she can get a vacation house while they're there. With a couple more inheritances, they can afford to get The Abandoned Nectary and still have plenty of money leftover.



Jimmy went around collecting metals and gems while Beatrix sat around waiting for an easily doable adventure and Elisabeth went to the art museum to practice martial arts. I'm a bit wary of just how glitchy China is, so using the martial arts stuff at the museum is safer for now.



Elisabeth managed to get herself up to white belt, but by the time her honeymoon was over she was at an orange belt (I think, can't really remember...).



She also spent some time inviting over ranked chess opponents so she could get some progress towards getting to level five. While playing, she managed to max the skill out. Halfway there!



Beatrix was successful in getting the final two points, and she and the others immediately packed up and took off for their new vacation home at the Abandoned Nectary. I was really tired and just wanted to get some furniture into the house so they could be comfortable for the rest of their vacation without sucking up too much extra money, so the house looks kind of...terrible. When I'm less exhausted and done taking care of my mom (she got surgery on Monday and I've been cooking for her when I get home from school while my dad is out) I'll make it look better, but for now, I just stuck stuff against the wall and called it a day.













The presence of sculpting stations should clue you in the what the next SuperMax is going to be.

I sent everyone home a few days early because I got bored and wanted to get things moving along. Beatrix had to wake up in the middle of the night after they returned home, because Elisabeth suddenly developed a huge desire for cheesesteak.



Ah yes, there's the source of our problem. A nooboo!



I'm in full-on panic mode over Tatiana's BlackOps. She is so close to elder, her career doesn't give any ops, and she hasn't gotten a new op in ages. My solution? Send her to university. She already gets one op from just taking the test, which will bring me to five, and hopefully while she's there I can nab a sixth one for her. Then it'll be smooth sailing and my blood pressure will finally go down.



Tatiana got the "Enroll in University" opportunity once she completed the test (and got a partial scholarship), which I took. I'll send her once the baby is born.

Elisabeth also took the aptitude test once Tatiana was finished, so it will be easier for her to advance her future career as a doctor.



Since Halloween is coming up and I stumbled into a treasure trove of free holiday sets at the store, I decided that generation five will have a special Halloween-themed teddy bear. I already have big plans for her future fashion style, so the Halloween theme fits.



Brent went upstairs for a little while so that he could paint in peace while Elisabeth violently devoured the strangest foods. Jimmy checked the mail, only to find that Christopher had sent them some wedding presents from beyond the grave. That was when he turned around and ran off to join the science career.



Little did Brent know, the painting he worked on earlier would be his last...

Oh, Brent... :(

Hm, I hadn't thought of using the equipment at the art museum. Very clever tactic, that. Here's hoping you get Tatiana's sixth op soon!

You mean Elisabeth's fiance.  ;)

Oops! Sorry. I definitely meant Elisabeth's fiance.

Happy wedding day to Elisabeth! That old guy was very rude to randomly pee his pants at her wedding, and then crash your game! I hope Tatiana can finish her requirements! I like your re-furnishing of the Old Nectary. Homes like those are pretty hard to furnish, but I thought it actually looked good. Can't wait for the nooboo! And R.I.P. Brent. :'(

It took me a while to realize what had happened. I kept trying to make him my active sim and couldn't figure out why it wouldn't let me, it was all just so sudden. I thought that he would at least make it to see generation five.  :(

I haven't even been to China in any of my files yet. All of the Chinese things in the house were found at the consignment shop.

She got to have it twice, lucky girl.  ::)

The nooboo arrived a couple days ago, and she is indeed very cute.

A Royal Immortal Dynasty - Chapter Forty-one (15/10/2013)

CHAPTER FORTY-ONE

Hey guys, I'm going to deviate from how this is normally written for this chapter. It'll all go back to normal next chapter, don't worry.

"Elisabeth, you're a smart girl. I only want what's best for you, and you know that."

"Yeah...I know."




Brent's passing came out of absolutely nowhere for me. He was only ninety days old.



He begged Grim to let him stay just long enough to see his grandchild, but he wouldn't relent. I didn't want it to be, but it was Brent's time.



"I just...I always thought that dad would just there forever. I'm only nineteen, and my baby won't ever know her grandfather...!"

"Elisabeth, my father died when I was very young. I never knew any of my grandparents, either. My paternal grandparents both died in fires before I was born."




Beatrix and Jimmy weren't home when Brent passed, but they got home just in time to see grim leave. Tatiana escaped from my control as I tried to keep poor Jimmy from fainting on the floor. Poor man.



Tatiana and Elisabeth were distraught. Tatiana wasn't even an elder and already she was a widow. Brent would never know his grandchild. Elisabeth would have to carry on for the rest of her life without her father.



Tatiana tried to remain strong for her daughter while everything around her collapsed.



"How did you go on? I mean, you've lost so much and yet you're somehow so strong."

"When you lose everything, you eventually learn to accept it. I learned this a long time ago."




Rest in peace, Brent Royale (née Figueroa). You were loved dearly by everyone.



"That's...just a horrible mindset to have, Bea. Even when you've lost everything, there's still something that will always be around!"

"I know, I have you guys. At least I have this part of my family."



"What about the other part of the family?"

"Gone. All gone. All I have now is you guys. You, your mother, your grandmother, Jimmy, and your baby. And someday, Jimmy will leave us too."



"No, Bea, don't talk about that!"

"I'm sorry, Elisabeth. I didn't mean to say that...I'm an old woman, you must understand."



"Why did you want to come here to talk? Couldn't we just talk at home?"

"I wanted to be away from the others. What I have to say is for you alone to know until later in the future. I wasn't planning on telling anyone this for a very long time, but I can't keep it to myself much longer."



"A long, long time ago, back when I was a teenager, my entire life was falling apart. My older sister was an old woman who had to live her entire adult life knowing that her husband cheated on her and left her at the alter. My older brother got married and moved away, so it was just me. I went to the science center to pick up some things my sister had in her old office there, when I bumped into a strange woman who seemed to be really lost, so I helped her out. We became friends, and I confided in her about how much I disliked my home life."

"And?"

"She vanished. A week later, I got a strange letter with some...instructions...telling me how I could safely correct the past so that everyone would be happy. The woman said that she'd get in touch with me when I was halfway there, so I've been waiting on some sort of message to come. In the meantime, I've realized how that you guys would be affected by all of this, and I can't just leave when this dynasty is finished, so...I figured out some sacrifices that I'll need to make before I leave. I know that there's a potion out there that can restore youth, so I need your help. Everything you need to know is in this book, so, will you please help me?



"Why haven't you told anyone before me?"

"Because I could hold it all inside until now."




Elisabeth went to one of the benches by the pond to read the book Beatrix had given her. It wasn't very long, but it got its message across.



Her great-grandmother wasn't who she thought she was.



Meanwhile, Tatiana was up in Elisabeth's bedroom, pondering the painting that caused Beatrix's premature downward spiral.



The labor pains started at lunchtime. Poor Elisabeth just wanted a juice box to ponder everything over, and now generation five wants to steal the show!



Jimmy absolutely freaked, so Elisabeth loaded him into his car and drove them to the hospital.



Please give a warm welcome to the Insane and Artistic Margrethe!

Welcome Margrethe!

This chapter was very sad and mysterious. I do miss Brent a lot. I can't wait for the next chapter!

Welcome Margrethe!

This chapter was very sad and mysterious. I do miss Brent a lot. I can't wait for the next chapter!

I've been waiting so long to write that plot point. Sad to say, Brent's death was what was needed to set it up. I love Beatrix's entire storyline so much, it's hard to not just tell everybody. It makes me really excited to be able to finally get some of it out there.

The next chapter will come a little later. I'm finally caught up to the point I'm at in the game (hooray)! I'm actually skipping school today, so I'll have plenty of time (though I'm also home to help take care of my mom because she had her gallbladder removed on Monday and she's still kinda loopy...we're going to watch movies on my laptop later).  ::)

I came across your story today and I really love it :) I can't wait to see what generation 5 looks like, hopefully she will be as lovely as her mum.
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.

I'm glad that you are enjoying it!

So far she looks a lot like her dad, but we'll see when she gets older.

YOOOOOOOO, sorry about the sudden random hiatus, guys. Life threw a curveball at me and I haven't even been able to play Sims for a week. My mom had surgery about two weeks ago and I've been running around helping take care of her, and I've been busy working on some knitting and crochet projects. My grandmother is also not doing to well, so we think she might have much longer left to live (she barely remembers who I am anymore).

I'll try to update sometime today or tomorrow.

Mom is doing pretty well and already complaining about the stuff she can't do. She isn't allowed to eat pizza or candy for a whole year and she is ANGRY.

I kinda do hope that my grandmother gets better, but it's not likely. She's 85 years old. :( We're not all that close, but...argh.

At long last I'm up to date with this dynasty. I was so sad to see Brent go, he's my favourite spouse T.T Ah, NaNoWriMo I've only ever completed it once then gave up - I always forgot it came around once a year lol.
