'Roura! 'Roura!
You were right last time and I wonder if you'll be 2/2?!
Close call with Daphne
Happy birthday to the twins!
It was really weird. After the fire was put out, I could click on Daphne but no one could interact with her. She had to initiate all of the interactions. I was really concerned because I had never seen a glitch, I guess you could call it, like that where while playing as another sim, I couldn't click on Daphne. The next time I loaded that file, it was fixed so no harm done
Wow, they both got great traits!
I really lucked out that round. Actually, this set of traits is when I made my decision on who would be the next heir
Chapter 21- EmbarrassmentThe first thing that Caelum and Aurora set out to do after their birthdays was to go to the cemetery to get a job working in the masoleum. They were both still potential heirs, so they would both be completing all of the requirements.
It was already pretty late that night so we let Caelum and Aurora enjoy the rest of their birthday doing whatever they wanted. It was nice to give them a little time off before the real work started the next day. Speaking of the next day, right after breakfast we began the twins' tutoring sessions. I worked with Aurora while Dad worked with Caelum.
Once I was done working with Aurora, I went to find Daphne to talk. I know from my own personal experience how, despite being a honor, exhausting being an heir was. You really lost out on some fun things that you would normally be able to do if you were just the average run of the mill Sim. I expressed those thoughts to Daphne and she agreed that maybe we should get the twins a little something special to let them know how proud we were of them. So, we splurged a little bit and bought Caelum and Aurora their very own cars.
Caelum and Aurora were both very excited about their surprise. They immediately begged Daphne and me to teach them how to drive. How could we say no?
Caelum and Daphne didn't get too far in their initial lesson because Caelum got too stressed and transformed into a werewolf. Once he did that, he figured that bounding was a faster method to get around.
Aurora and I got a little further until it got too late in the evening that it was time to return home. Aurora actually got an opportunity from school to work on her writing skill and she decided to take them up on their offer.
Of course, learning to drive+skilling= major stressor. Major stressor=werewolf transformation.
Okay, Daphne and I had been married for quite some time now and I had seen her change into her werewolf form many times. Yet for some reason, seeing my daughter transform made me...kind of, sort of, you know, faint...
Daphne just threw some plasma juice in my face and told me to get up. I shook my head and then proceeded to change out of my plasma juice soaked tux. How embarrassing...
To make matters worse, we had ANOTHER burglar show up to the house that night.
The police showed up but the officer's thoughts prior to the fight didn't inspire much confidence...
Maybe the shoes meant she thought she was going to kick the burglar's behind?
Hey, whatever works.
After her near death experience, Daphne had become melancholy for a bit. She wouldn't let any of us really talk to her for a few days. I know she was shaken up; so was I. I was very frightened that I lost her but thankfully, that didn't happen. However, the next morning, Daphne came into the kitchen and things appeared to be back to normal between her and the rest of the household but particularly with me.
I was completely honest with her. I didn't know what I'd do without her.
Apparently she really appreciated that sentiment.
She appreciated it a lot.
