My name is Juliet Shakespeare.



I was never meant to be played for real.

I was dug up from the Sim Bin, created at a time when the Watcher was a part of the Shakespeare play. Life was dreary in the Bin. Sims came and went, and some mysteriously disappeared altogether.

When my chance came to leave, I took it, although the idea of being the founder of a giant dynasty was… well, it was rather daunting.

"You mean I have to live for hundreds of years and watch nearly everyone I love die?" I asked nervously.

"Well, yes. But on the bright side, you will be able to foster young minds for hundreds and hundreds of years. You'll be able to experience culture like you never have."

It took a great deal of convincing, but I came around eventually. The Watcher promised me I would have many helpers to get me started, that I would build a wonderful home in Monte Vista, and that I would become a witch. The last was too good to resist.

Here's to a brand new life, I suppose.

I love this naming theme and how you've labeled the immortals in "acts". Yessss. Will be following this story!

Good luck making Juliet immortal!

I must admit, my least favorite part about this Dynasty business so far was the big, empty lot I was forced to start out with.



However, it was improved, though not by much, by the small home the Watcher so kindly built for me.



I won't show you the outside, as it is truly nothing special, and there will be a much better home soon, I hope. Once I was settled with a sleeping bag, a toilet, and a refrigerator, I took a walk around the neighborhood to search for people who would be willing to help me get my dynasty off the ground. It was on that walk that I met the wonderful Eduardo GilsCarbo.



It only took a little while before I was able to convince him to move with his wife and son to my home. I may have left out how small it was, but I mentioned the Dynasty, and he was rather excited about that, so I don't think he minded the size. With the Simoleons he and Carlotta brought with them, I was able to convince my Watcher to upgrade my hovel to a hut, complete with easel and sculpting station.



I must admit, while Eduardo was sleeping and Carlotta was eating Autumn Salad in the bathroom, I took the time to cuddle their nooboo, Goopy.



While I am eager to have a nooboo of my own, I must wonder at exactly what sort of life I will be bringing them into. Can I really bring them into a life where they will lose nearly everyone they know and love? Do I have a choice?

Morning brought a garden of my own, planted from apples that I summoned myself.



Being a witch means I don't have to spend money on seeds, which I am grateful for. I also went to work for the first time that day, as a Kitchen Scullion. That was where I met Camillo Mancini.



Although there was no spark, he was nice enough, and it is always good to have another helper around. He agreed to bring his brother Carlo, as well, so that the household would have enough Simoleons to expand. With Carlo, it was love at first sight. Before I knew what was happening, I agreed to be his girlfriend… and even a step beyond that.



We waited long enough for the Watcher to fix Carlo's hair, then rushed to the altar, where we exchanged vows, rings, and sappy love-faces.



Here's to our future as Mr. and Mrs. Shakespeare!

How appropriate for Juliet to get married so soon after meeting her to-be husband. Where have I heard that before?  ;)

I really like the Shakespearean theme you have here. I look forward to reading more.

I think you'll be in very good shape if the two don't kill themselves.

I am a Shakespeare fan, so I am definitely looking forward to reading your story! Juliet is very pretty. I am looking forward to seeing her cute little nooboos in (hopefully) not too distant future :)

Scene II
« Reply #8 on: June 18, 2014, 11:55:27 PM »
As you can probably imagine, my wedding to Carlo was nothing but perfection. I believe Eduardo cried a little, and Camillo definitely did, although that might have been because he was holding Goopy. Unfortunately, Carlotta was unable to attend, but I understood. She takes her role as Dynasty helper very seriously, and is committed to being able to sculpt my young adult ice sculpture. By now, she is up to six, and I don't doubt she will get to twenty-five as quickly as she can. She really is a perfect best friend.

That night was, of course, my wedding night, and I made it clear to Carlo that our woohoo was a try for baby woohoo. He didn't seem to object.



I shan't go into detail, but it should be made known that there were definitely chimes heard. It may sound strange, but I was delighted the next day when I was forced to abandon the autumn salad I was making for lunch so that I could make a mad dash for the bathroom.



I rushed to tell Camillo, as he was the only one who did not have a specific job that needed doing, but he only shook his head and shooed me away, telling me that it was my turn to potty train Goopy, and for Watcher's sake could I not make a mess like Eduardo did?

He's a helpful one, that Camillo. Truly. I did as he said, though, and enjoyed every moment of Goopy's giggly little face beaming up at me. I can't wait to have a nooboo of my own to train.



Once that was finished, and no messes were made, I decided to make the trip to the library on my broom to read about cooking, as per another helpful suggestion from Camillo. I had gotten my skill level halfway to three when wonderful and sad things happened simultaneously.

Carlo aged up while at the easel, where he was patiently painting and waiting for me to come home so that he could paint my portrait.



and I was blessed with the gift of life. My own little nooboo, growing inside me.



I rushed home right away to announce my pregnancy to Carlo, and was informed that I had missed his sparkles. Carlotta says they were quite spectacular.



While that was rather disappointing, I had exciting news of my own. Before I could tell anyone, though, Carlo whisked me off to have my portrait painted for my museum. Apparently he had been hiding a level seven painting skill from me, and I was delighted to discover it, as perhaps that means he will be able to paint at least my young adult portrait and our nooboo's toddler portrait. He is quite a gifted artist, is he not?



Finally, I was able to tell Carlotta my news, as she had taken a break from sculpting to eat, nap, and use the bathroom. She advised me to eat watermelons if I wanted a girl, as that was what Giovanna Costa had done, and she had gotten girls with every pregnancy. I followed her advice as soon as I could. Camillo was not very pleased about having to make a late night grocery run to buy me watermelon, but I wore him down eventually. It was, of course, delicious.



Over the course of a day, Carlo was able to finish my portrait. Isn't it lovely?



It seems like as I get bigger and bigger, my friends get older. Carlotta aged up one night at her sculpting station, in the middle of creating a sculpture.



She looks as lovely as ever, and has a few smile lines around her mouth. Eduardo says she looks she looks as stunning as the day they met, which I think is sweet. He aged up the next night at his easel, and is as unconcerned with his appearance as ever. I do admire him for that, though I wish he would rid himself of that dreadful hat.



In the midst of all this aging up and skilling and love that's going around our house, I catch myself gazing dreamily at Carlo from time to time. Oh Carlo. Sweet, sweet Carlo. How can I do this without you?



Having an elder for a spouse is most definitely a concern, though I try to make the best of it. I insist that he read pregnancy books with me, so that he will be able to be as perfect of a father as possible to our nooboo.



He thinks I'm as beautiful as ever, and doesn't seem to mind that I'm waddling around like a hippo with a limp. Goopy doesn't mind either, but he doesn't mind anything, as long as he gets his tickles.



Carlotta continues to get closer and closer to her twenty-five ice sculpture goal, and Eduardo works hard at his easel so that he will be able to take over for Carlo some day. Camillo fishes and works, and ignores us as best as possible, unless he's photographing us at the most inopportune of times.

I do wish that he had had his camera out when I went into labor at the same time Goopy had his birthday. While our happy, gurgling toddler made the leap to childhood -



I endured the most excruciating pain of my life. Sweet Watcher, that hurts!



Sweet little Goopy aged up into a darling little boy who likes horses, dresses up as a princess, and insists on wearing a gnome hat whenever possible.



Meanwhile, I gave birth to the most darling little nooboo in the world.



Goopy ran off to play in his princess costume almost immediately after aging up, and he seems to enjoy waving at us like we are his loyal subjects.



I held my baby close, breathing in her sweet scent. Welcome to the family, Cordelia Shakespeare.

Oh this is so fun! I love Shakespeare (though I'm certainly glad you're Juliet will have a happier ending than his did lol). I'm excited to see what Cordelia looks like when she grows up. I bet she'll be cute! :D

Cordelia is a toddler in game, and I have to say, she's one of the cutest toddlers I've ever had :D
