Clan Douglas Dynasty (Finished)

[Asleep]

Dimension H means Dimension Human, right?

[Beddy_Boop]

Yeah it means Human Dimension/ Dimension-Human. It kind of reminds me of the "Twilight Zone" lol. Spooky but not gruesome or scary.

Moth:  That must be what I saw!  When I had my last birthday!  It was like looking through a window, or maybe a one-way mirror.  I actually saw somebody looking back at me.  I winked at her but I don’t think she saw it.

Oh, that's clever!

“As Time Goes By”

Between his job and his special assignments from James, Moth stays very busy.  His boss gives him an assignment to work from home on the computer [an opportunity].  He works diligently but wishes he could join the jam session instead.



James takes a great deal of interest in Moth’s career.  Every day after work they discuss Moth’s latest findings.



They lean in close to keep others from overhearing as they mutter about “settings”, “calibration” and “current technology.”



On Saturday afternoons Moth often disappears for a little private time.  Sometimes he goes to the library.





Yes, even though Moth knows he can never marry, he is interested in girls.  And they seem very interested in him.  One day he meets a special woman in the park.



Moth finds her quite magical and is glad he’s feeling lucky today.  They are getting along splendidly.



Then she suddenly vanishes.  So much for feeling lucky.

But time is passing quickly.  His Adult birthday arrives.



Moth knows that in 3 weeks he will be an elder.  All the other family members are nervously aware of this fact as well.  All are wondering about their future.

I just want to say that I really appreciate the comments that people have posted lately.  The reason I haven't been responding to them is just because I'm so busy with the story.  The game is slow playing these days, and between playing and writing, it's taking a lot of time.  Plus, I'm the sort that tends to get very engrossed in something and forget about everything else.  So please don't let my lack of response to your comments discourage you from commenting.  Your comments mean a lot.  Knowing that someone actually reads this stuff makes it all worthwhile.  Thank you.

Ooh! Moth found a magician! Can't wait until all the secrets will be revealed, like Jennas contribution. (No, I haven't forgotten it. )

[Anushka]

Wow, a magician! Can't remember last time I've seen one!
James remain leading figure in Clan, and his mind is still so alive, how old is he now(what Sim week are you in?)
And as everyone else, I can't wait to see 8 immortals and final meeting of Immortal Clan Council! And all other things you left for the end!

“Existential Angst - Wimsey and Sleuth”

Sleuth prepares to paint Moth’s Adult portrait.



Wimsey gets out her chain saw to work on Moth’s ice sculpture.



Wimsey and Sleuth examine the finished ice sculpture.



Sleuth:  I can’t believe how quickly you finished this one.  And the detail is amazing.
Wimsey:  Well, I’ve had a lot of practice.  I can’t count how many days I’ve spent honing my skill.
Sleuth:  I know what you mean.  It seems like I’ve spent my whole life painting.
Wimsey:  Do you ever wonder what we’ll be doing after Moth’s next birthday?  I mean, all I do is sculpt.  And soon there won’t be any more need for ice sculptures.



Sleuth:  Yes, I know.  Being the Dynasty’s official portraitist is all well and good, but what happens when the Dynasty doesn’t need any more portraits?  What’s the purpose of my existence then?  I suppose I could go back to working in Law Enforcement.  [unenthusiastically]
Wimsey:  At least you have another job to go back to.  All I’ve ever done is sculpt.  Sometimes I wish I had died when Mortimer did.  The new generations coming along kept things interesting, but I just don’t know what will happen to us after Moth’s birthday. 

[Asleep]

Awwww.... I hope they find something else to do.

[Joria]

I suspect Dimension H is going to have something to do to keep this dynasty going!  Anyway, I sure hope SOMETHING keeps it going.

“Mojo”

As an Athletic sim, Mojo regularly gets wishes to work out. 



He’s also a Bookworm, so when he finishes exercising he likes to relax with a book.



He continues to work at the Stadium, which helps him stay busy most days.  He has never shown any interest in retiring.



He visits Radar’s grave in the family plot.



Mojo still misses his twin brother. 



He remembers Radar telling him that they would be together again in the future.  But with the Dynasty nearing completion, Mojo is finding it hard to believe in any kind of future that includes his brother.  He can’t believe Radar would have lied to him.  But maybe he was just mistaken.

Of all the Dynasty members, Mojo is the one who is closest to his child.  He gets a lot of wishes to spend time with his daughter Millie.  After visiting Radar’s grave, he wants to talk to her.  Look at the dejected expression on his face.  I wonder what he’s saying - is he hinting that Radar had his head in the stars, or does the Big Dipper imply that Mojo thinks Radar may have been a bit dippy?

[Asleep]

Poor Mojo.

[AriaGirl77]

Your story has stayed so interesting even though (I'm learning) the tasks get to be a bit tedious.  So kudos!

[Schipperke]

Aria, that's the most encouraging thing you could have said!  You're so right - it is getting harder and harder to find things to post about.  I almost scrapped that thing about Mojo because I thought, who would want to read something so mundane.  Thanks so much.

[ratchie]

The bit about Mojo might seem mundane but his love for his brother and the way they all feel about the end of this task is what makes them real. Yes I know I sound insane but we all appreciate the time,effort and emotion you put into those little pixelated people.
I love hearing about those everyday mundane things that everybodies Sims do my dynasty is full of it.
