The Chant Immortal Dynasty - Failed (Graveyard please)

[Nettlejuice]

Note: This dynasty is named after characters featured in The Chrestomanci Series by Diana Wynne Jones.


Nettlejuice: Chrestomanci?

Chrestomanic: Please, call me Christopher, we've known each other for years.

NJ: Right, Christopher. So, I've decided to let Janet be your Watcher as I'm currently trying to decide what to do with her story and I feel she'd know your family much better than I do. Take it away, Janet.

Janet Chant: Hello, Chrestomanci.

Christopher: Janet! You look different.

Janet: NJ loves red hair, but I don't mind. I do feel strange being older, though.

Christopher: *laughs* And I'm much younger than I should be.

NJ: You look very handsome. Now, let's get started. Midnight Hollow beckons...

One

Christopher Chant arrives in Midnight Hollow and is promptly placed at 28 Swallow Street. Unlike his literary self he has no magic, his traits are: Artistic, Brooding, Charismatic, Good, Family Orientated.



The Watcher guides him to Kara Carter's house and misplaced the introductory screenshots.

Janet: I blame NJ, she doesn't know her way around Windows 8 yet.

Christopher: Not to worry.



After spamming romantic actions, he invites her home. They have their first kiss.



Christopher proposes and is rejected. Look at that face...




Janet: Never mind, you get to try again.

Proposal accepted and private wedding shots missing. They head to the fire station for dinner and other necessary actions, then it's time for bed.




After breakfast, Christopher practises painting at the architects desk even though there is an easel upstairs. Sigh. Kara uses her brilliant fishing skills to catch fish and sell them, they are in dire need of cash.



Christopher heads to the Sombre household. He's greeted by Hyun-Moon.



What do you know, Hyun-Moon is artistic.



Christopher: How would you like to visit my non-existent house?

Hyun-Moon: Sure.

Christopher: How about moving in with me and Kara to be a part of the Chant dynasty?

Hyun-Moon: Um...

Christopher: I'll get the lovely Nadine to join too.

Hyun-Moon: Nadia? Move us in, move us in!



Hyun-Moon and Nadia join the household. Janet does her magic, runs out of money, rebuilds, changes her mind and other such nonsense until we have a final product.



Christopher's wardrobe:

Everyday outfit.



Formal outfit.



Sleepwear.



Christopher: Only one dressing gown?

Janet: Yes, I'm afraid. There's no time to change it for every day of the year.

Christopher: Hmm, I do miss my elaborate dressing gowns.

Janet: Sorry!

Outdoor outfit.



Kara's makeover:

Everyday outfit.



Formal outfit.



Sleepwear.



Outdoor outfit.

Yeeey, a dynasty in Midnight Hollow! I don't have the town myself so I'm super excited to read this dynasty

[Nettlejuice]

Yeeey, a dynasty in Midnight Hollow! I don't have the town myself so I'm super excited to read this dynasty

Hi, thanks for reading <3

The town is a little darker than I thought it would be, but I love it nonetheless - as long as I remember to take night screenshots with plenty of light ^.^

[SpiritPink]

I look forward to reading this! Just got Hollow myself and am anxious to see how it plays.

[Nettlejuice]

Two

Nadia's makeover:

Everyday outfit.



Formal outfit.



Sleepwear.



Outdoor outfit.



Hyun-Moon's makeover:

Everyday outfit.



Formal outfit.



Sleepwear.



Outdoor outfit.



Kara and Christopher paint, while Nadia and Hyun-Moon sculpt. Hyun-Moon takes a break to pursue Nadia. Romantic interest, Girlfriend, Fiancée.





No time or money to organise a wedding so they have a private wedding after dinner. Hyun-Moon is a week or two away from his elder birthday but he's needed for the ice sculptors so the Watcher won't use the try for baby interaction just yet.




They keep their current jobs to leech some money while they slave away and quit after personal time is over.



At the weekend they all visit the local cinema to get rid of the annoying stir crazy moodlet.

Thanks for reading <3 I'm enjoying it a lot right now, building the Chants properties have been quite fun.

[Pyro0001]

Nadia looks good. Does her hairstyle come with Moonlight Hollow or is it custom content? I wish I had more simpoints, I would definitely buy this town! I can't find Simpoint cards anywhere.

EDIT: Oops. Sorry, it's Midnight Hollow. I mixed it up with Moonlight Falls.

Thank you for reading <3

Nadia is extremely pretty, I just found her old clothes a little restricting and couldn't wait to make her over. The hair is from another website, I'll PM you. I also keep typing Moonlight Hollow at times, it'll take a while to get used to it =]

[Pernille]

I'll second the others and say I'm excited to see a dynasty in Midnight Hollow! I haven't played Dragon Valley much yet so I can't really justify to buy another town but Midnight Hollow looks very interesting.

Also I love your makeovers. I especially like your founders wardrobe.

[Nettlejuice]

Three

To keep the household happy, Janet lets them out of their cages again for a little fun in the form of a water balloon fight each day and eventually stops when everyone gets all germy.



Cecilia Evans, Christopher became acquainted with her during the trip to the theatre, throws a party where she spends the whole night outside while the guests trip over each other to listen to this lady play.




Janet: Hello, possible best friend Phineas Bledsoe.

Christopher: Congratulations on your communications degree. How is it that you failed to call ahead before visiting this late?



A short break from their duties involves dancing. Kara has the nerve to dance with Phineas than cuddle with her husband.



Christopher finally gets his first BlackOp - Art Class. When they're not being watched, Hyun-Moon and Christopher keep changing jobs and now a wall divides the sculpting and art studios - both doors are also locked against the offending sims. Super sleepers are bought with the simoleons that has accumulated steadily, and the couples room is locked until it's needed in future. Kara starts on Christopher's young adult portrait. Later, they pose for ice sculptures.




Hyun-Moon is so close to elder he needs to fulfil his duties. *chimes*




Janet: Yay, nooboos.

Hyun-Moon: Can I retire now?

Janet: Nope, we need money for the nursery extension.

Here are the sculptures and portraits on the outer wall of the kitchen as a museum has yet to be created.



Nadia remains in her dress as it's suitable for maternity. Kara is forced to change into something drab. Since everyone has the simmunity reward we are saved from the puke shots.




Kara: Can you really hear the baby?

Christopher: Uh...



Nadia: Yeah, so I'm pregnant.

Hyun-Moon: We're having a baby?

Janet: Well, duh. I love Hyun-Moon, he always cleans up, has repaired the baths and sinks several times so you can retire to take care of the nooboos.




First birthday in the house. Of course, a party is in order.




Pregnant ladies dancing.

Janet: Please be careful!

Nadia: My bump is bigger than yours.

Kara: Just shut up and dance, dance.



Hyun-Moon's new look:

Note: If anyone knows how to make the makeover shots combined into one using photobucket, please let me know!

I'll second the others and say I'm excited to see a dynasty in Midnight Hollow! I haven't played Dragon Valley much yet so I can't really justify to buy another town but Midnight Hollow looks very interesting.

Also I love your makeovers. I especially like your founders wardrobe.

Both Dragon Valley and Midnight Hollow are wonderful, I have gold versions of both so it's really worth it in terms of the extra content.
Thank you ^^ It was easy to dress Christopher since he's a character from a book.

[chetanhaobijam]

Yay, first immortal dynasty in Midnight Hollow. Just found it and the story is great so far. The world also looks great. I will be reading/following it and so it is Bookmarked. Can't wait for the next update.

[Nettlejuice]

Four

Kara: How the heck did you get in here?

Horse: Doors are a nuisance, I just walk through walls

Janet: Xhfrefdmbpt



Hyun-Moon: How do I look?

Nadia: Handsome as ever.



Nadia: Eyaaaa. Heeeelp.

Janet: *runs around panicking* Chrestomanci, Chrestomanic! Aw, sparkles.

Nadia: Welcome, Tae-Hyun Jun.

His traits are Virtuous, in honour of his parents, and Friendly.





Kara: Ow!

Christopher: Janet, Janet!

Janet: Can't help you!





Christopher: Phew. Welcome, Millie Chant.

Janet: Uh-oh, you're wrong. It's my evil double, Gwendolen.

Gwendolen: Rawr.

Christopher:...

Janet: The heirs have already been chosen beforehand. Wait, what are you doing?

Christopher: Waiting for something evil to happen.

Janet: Get back to painting, she has no magic in this world.



Hyun-Moon take up Christopher's guard.

Janet: *facepalm* Anyway, Gwendolen was born with the Evil trait - surprise, surprise - and Grumpy.



New layout of the house with a close up of the nursery and the museum.






Double birthdays. Kara is first.





Kara: Thanks for ruining my big moment, Gwennie.

Nadia is next. The guy with the black hat is Jin Sang Kim, behind is Young Jae Sung and that other guy is none other than a teen Nervous Subject.




Nadia: Not too bad.

The next day, it's Christopher's adult birthday. Jin Sang has aged to elder and may not qualify as a best friend soon, but all these parties have given Christopher the opportunity to make new ones.




Jin Sang and Gwendolen: Bwahaha.

Thank you for reading ^.~

This is my first ever immortal dynasty and I thought Midnight Hollow was just perfect for it.

[Nettlejuice]

Five

After all that cake and cleaning up to do, the nooboos don't get a birthday party and age up naturally. They learn all their skills from Nadia and Christopher.




Gwendolen has her mother's unfortunate skin and Christopher's eyes. The hair colour is bewildering.





Tae-Hyun is all Nadia, I'm sad to see nothing of Hyun-Moon - yet. His wardrobe is adorable ^_^





Christopher has enough to buy his building, The Just Us Department, and property, Fledgling Fishing Pond, which is fully upgraded and renamed to Chant Fishing Pond. It's the Chant's first wedding anniversary, they spend the day at the fishing pond.





Christopher's last master painting completes his SuperMax and is at level nine in his career. His Best Friends are Nervous Subject and Conrad Finley, let's hope they stick around for Christopher's elder birthday. His latest opportunities were Interior Decor and A Large Painting.



Tickle time!




Surprisingly, Gwendolen actually gets along with Tae-Hyun.



After the havoc created from previous parties, the toddlers have a family only party. Nadia helps Gwendolen blow out the candle.



She ages up with Rebellious.

Gwendolen's new look:







Janet: The pyjamas are so cute.

Gwendolen: Change them, right now! *stamps her feet*

Janet: No.

[Pyro0001]

The kids are so cute! Gwendolyn looks like a mini fashionista with that hairstyle . I loved Tae-Hyun's TARDIS toddler sleepwear! Christopher's pond looks really nice.

Thank you =] Gwendolen would have a fit if she didn't look perfect and I just had to have the TARDIS pyjamas as soon as I saw them ^.^
