Fourth in the Four: Another Grim Dynasty

[Ricalynn]

Oh no, Markus!  What a shock!

Rest in peace, Markus. You were a charming and prolific sim!
How did the Watcher deal with all the extended family grieving over Markus' demise?

And when will Heath make his move?

The watcher groaned at all the crying, enjoyed the fact that the sound was off and eventually went into buy mode to move the urn so we could get rid of it!   And Heath is a teenager.. not sure he has a move to make at the moment. 

Aurora is like my nephew while watching any kid show/movie, no doubt your niece was inspiration for that?

RIP Markus! Didn't know loading screens could turn out to be so deadly, though I have to say I'm at least thankful it wasn't one of the heirs in his position. Hope you can still qualify for HoF!

  Yes there is plenty of inspiration around me.  Haha And yes this one was.  Strangely enough.. now if Only I could get the lag to go away a little bit. 

Wow. RIP, Markus and new thing learned: don't leave the comedy channel on before exiting. On the plus side, yay Scarlet and Heath nooboo! *coughs*

*cough*   Yeah maybe!

So sorry to read about Markus!  Hope your HOF status is ok!  Love the pretty little blue girl child, Aurora.

  I do too.  She's kind of a firecracker. 

And yes my HOF status is great.  I assumed it would be but you never know and it's always better to ask than assume.  Plus I may have overreacted because.. I mean while having a hole in the house is great.. It was still the death of a family member!

Aurora - You're the best mom.
Rachebe - That is why they call it best friends.
Aurora - I know but it won't last.  You know I'll have to get another one.
Rachebe - I do but I'm glad that I can be your first.
Aurora - So why are we in this cave again?
Rachebe - Sturgeon.
Aurora - Has Dad caught any?
Rachebe - No but Gramma, Uncle Ash and Scarlet all have.
Aurora - Why didn't we stay at home then?
Rachebe - If we had we wouldn't be best friends.
Aurora - Oh.. yea, good point.


(( *randomly has Air use his simray to transform something.  Gets a fire first try* ))
*everyone runs to the front of the house*
Scarlet - *counting the guests*
Aria - Ahh!  Where was the fire?
Addy - It's already out.  Air was trying to transform a MySims because we're missing four.  It's a glitch.
Aria - Oh.


Amir - Uhh Alistair.
Addy - Shhh! 
Amir - But..
Addy - Shhh! 
Alistair - Mm this is so good.


Ash - Hey look.. you're finally not a white boy anymore.
Air - You are not cute.
Ash - I happen to think I'm adorable.


Addy - *giggling profusely*
Alistair - This is not funny woman.
Addy - Yes it is.
Alistair - I have leaves growing through my new gloves.
Addy - Just think of how much fun you'll have showing that new trick to the lab!
Alistair - No.


*Camera pans over*
Addy - Aww..
Artie - Oh man.


Reaper - Don't you think that's a little insensitive?
Artie - What?
Reaper - Eating ambrosia over a dead body.
Artie - You're the one that killed someone while I was having my planned dinner to keep you from coming for me.  You can't blame me for caring enough to come see him as you take him.
Reaper - Shush you.  I'm trying to work.
Lorena - Addy, can you control them?
Addy - I wish.


Aurora - So what does it taste like?
Aria - Uhh...
Addy - No sense lying to her.. it's her destiny.  I honestly don't remember.
Aurora - It tastes that bad huh?
Aria - Well the first bite is kind of a shock.  Then you kind of feel the magic take over and it's not so bad.
Aurora - Yeah.. it's bad.


Air - So that's why I can't ever invite you over to the house.
Shawn - Hmph.  Sounds like an excuse.
Air - No really.  I don't understand it but the people I live with make friends with just about everyone.  And you're special.
Shawn - Okay.. keep talking.


*sudden camera movement*
Addy - Oh wow.. It's a twofer that was a complete surprise!
Lorena - Ow.. why does the night hurt my eyes?
Addy - Just lay down sweetie.
Lorena - Oh.. that sounds like a good idea.


Addy - Artie.. what are you doing?
Artie - I forgot to take a picture of Lorena for the wall *snaps a shot of her on the ground*
Addy - Really?
Artie - What?


Reaper - This is twice in one day.  Why is everyone dying at your house?
Artie - A lot of people used to die at my house.. remember?  But we don't get the notifications anymore so we have all close family and friends practically live here.
Reaper - Really?
Artie - Yeah we do food, drinks, provide amenities and fun stuff.  It's great.
Reaper - You're weirding me out.. can you back up?
Artie - No.


Ash - *jumps*  What do you mean kill the firefly?
Artie - Huh?
Cassie - *through her teeth* Someone's talking to himself again.
Reaper - My precious.. Mmk.  time to go.
Artie - Hey Cassie.. C'mere this will make you feel better.


Reaper - What in the world are they doing?
Ash - Rachel's back from her space mission.  Chat later.
Reaper - Why can't I stop watching?
Artie - Because my bootyshake brings all the boys to the yard.. And they're like..
Cassie - Please stop.
Artie - Okay.. for you.


Immediate followup shot of Cassie Rupp for the wall.  She doesn't look very happy though!


Addy - What are you doing?
Artie - What do you mean what am I doing?
Addy - Well if cars could hit you I'd be worried you were being melodramatic.
Artie - No no it's not that.  I need to get away from the house.
Addy - Why?
Artie - Come with me, kid.  You might learn a few things.


Artie - Bingo!
Addy - Why are you staring at a new random townie walking by your house?
Artie - Why not?
Addy - This is almost as creepy as that time Recipe Man hung out by the school.
Artie - That was good times. 


Artie - *rude introduction*
Redhead - *angry reaction, yells at*
Artie - *jeer, insult, call daughter of a llama*
Redhead- You are not a nice man!
Artie - Not only that, I'm a criminal mastermind.
Redhead - More like a math tutor.
Artie - Pinhead.
Redhead - Prison Barber
Artie - Mother Lover *continues to subtly debase*


Redhead - Why are you being so mean to me? *crying*
Artie - *sows seeds of doubt* Oh I'm sorry.. did you think this was going to be a fair fight?  You have no idea who you're messing with, you poor sad unwatched soul.


Redhead- I can't believe you!
Artie - Hey it's not like I can kill you right?  This is a dynasty.
Redhead - Is that supposed to make me feel better?
Artie - Oh.. it didn't?
Redhead - I hate you.
Artie - I know. *laughs maniacally*


Addy - Feel better?
Artie - So good I could sing.  In fact, why don't we go frolic through the hills and pick flowers together.
Addy - That's okay... You have fun with that.
Artie - Your Loss!


Ricanote:  I had to go back 3 saves to find this woman's name (and still didn't use it lol) because apparently after her exchange with Artie the game purged her.  I can't prove it was Artie.. but you never know right?

[Joria]

Of course it was Artie!  lol  Wait.  We don't get notices from Grim anymore?  Drat.  Loved the update.  So now you've got space in the house and apparently not too many broken hearts, are you adding to it?

[Ricalynn]

@Joria The only notices you get are the ones for in your household.   I miss the ones from TS3 when they would tell you to "make sure so-so doesn't have any books that are yours because they're not long for this world"   Not a direct quote obviously, it's been a while since I played Sims 3. 

[sdhoey]

What are we going to do with him and Colt attaching the innocent townies? LOL

[oshizu]

Rest in peace, Amir and Lorena!
Yay, Alistair got him a BFF. Lol, it's so funny that they are meeting out in the boonies under the cover of darkness. "Alistair, are you ashamed to be seen with me in public?"

Artie is looking great as always. In her studio shot, Cassie looks so much like Reid/Cara.
Wow, tough luck with the sturgeons!

Margaret's plant ice cream lasted forever!!!
Haha, that shot of Artie looking all happy and the lady walking away, dejected, in the distance.

[FrancescaFiori]

I love your system for not missing the deaths of friends and family!

Poor Artie, having to sneak off into the trees to find someone to be mean to.

Poor Redhead Townie. Got deleted from the game world after her interaction with Artie. Gotta believe that Artie has that effect. And it was hilarious to see the green Air and Ash's jokes on it. Lastly, RIP Amir and Lorena.

[Nettlejuice]

How are they not bored of ice cream? For the funnies of course. RIP Amir and Lorena, I was sure the other Cassie would be joining them too.

[Ricalynn]

Laugh and enjoy the show?  As long as he doesn't attack family members I'm generally okay with it haha.

Alistair's friend Shawn is actually a co-worker and apparently an alien (I keep finding them!) so we'll see.  It may be cutting it close with his age but we're going to try anyway.  Everyone in Kid Club is pretty much friends with the house at this point.
Oh I've had tougher luck than that with the sturgeons too because of a glitch but oh well!  I still have time. 
And yes Air ate the last serving of Plant Matter ice cream.  It was a lot of fun to watch everyone change colors because of it.  I may have to make more later.

I love your system for not missing the deaths of friends and family!

Poor Artie, having to sneak off into the trees to find someone to be mean to.

I still missed a few sadly   And Yeah.. Mean and mischievous actions are against club policies so he has to sneak off to not get in trouble haha.

  Yeah.. Ash finally got a color but he didn't seem to like it.

  I don't know!  Reid's Brood/Markus's Get makes it all the time!  I have a lot of things available for when they get hungry and still they make more ice cream. Though having the plant matter around was at least good for some giggles while dealing with other stuff.. like you know dynasty goals/skilling. Haha.

Addy - Whoo!  Level 10 scientist and you're not even an adult!
Alistair - It was almost too easy.
Addy - How about we celebrate?
Alistair - Sure what you got in mind?


Alistair - This is what you had in mind?
Addy - Yes.  We built it and then nobody ever tried it.
Artie - I remember that day.  You spent my money.
Addy - Yep.. you got it all back though.
Ash - Why are we in our pajamas?
Addy - Welcome to Sleepy Sundaes!  Where you sit around in your PJs and eat ice cream!


Addy - You going to sit with the others?
Artie - I see the clownhead.
Addy - Scaredy cat.
Artie - I'm not scared.. I'm cautious.
Rachebe - Hey Big Red.. you coming?
Artie - Yeah Yeah.. Give me a moment.


Alistair - How come you changed out of your PJs?
Aurora - Because we're outside.
Alistair- The weather is the same all the time and you have a warmer behind you?
Aurora - Silly Daddy.. PJs are for inside.
Alistair - You did it because Uncle Ash did it huh?
Ash - I was feeling exposed.. can we order?
Aria - Sure.. whatcha want shy guy?


Alistair - I haven't done this since we were kids..Have you, Ash?
Ash - Nope.. but I forgot how much fun it is.
Aurora - See Dad.. Uncle Ash like sit.
Rachebe - Can I join in?
Aurora - Everyone should do it.
Artie - Okay I'll order the food.
Aria - I'll order the food.
Artie - You are no fun.


Artie - Wait.. are we all doing this?
Alistair - I would much rather do this with a crayon.
Aurora - Crayons are for kids, Daddy.
Artie - None of you are any good.
Aria - Just grab a placemat and shush, Dad.


Artie - Hey what did you two get again?
Aria - Dad.. you ordered a drink for Aurora she can't drink.
Artie - I did?  Whoops. Donnie can we get some milk for her then.
Waiter - Sure.


Scarlet was having her own club meeting since she had been at work when the others came to sit down.
Angelique (red) - So you realize it's like 1 am and we're sitting here at a restaurant that wants us to be in our PJs?
Alex - Yes.. but it's better than hanging out at the dynasty house all the time right?
Angelique - I'll give you that.
Kim - So this ice cream isn't going to change us into any weird colors, right?
Scarlet - It shouldn't.  Are you saying that I would so something like that?
Heath - We do know where you live and who you live with. 


Ash - What's this for?
Artie - Happy Birthday buddy.
*Air & Aria randomly put on real clothes and then get stuck*
Aurora - Can it be my birthday too?
Rachel - No sweetie.  You still have 9 days left.
Aurora - Can I have cake?
Rachel - Of course, once we're done with it.


Ash - *pshhfffbbbbt* 
Air - Hey no spitting on the cake!
Artie - Happy Birthday to You!  Happy Birthday to YOU! *really off-key*
Aria - *mid celebration* Dad please stop.


Aria -*takes over singing off-key*
Ash - Oh yeah.. I'm an adult now.
Air - How does it feel?
Ash - Come give it a try?
Air - DOn't mind if I do!


Aurora - Now can I have cake, Gramma?
Aria - Yes.. if he ever gets out the candles.
Air - *huffs again*
Waiter (Donnie) - Happy Birthday to you!
(( Note:  Alistair's age never paused during his pregnancy.  I don't know if it was how I played through the pregnancy or what but he didn't pause so he still got his notification same as Ash ))


Rachel - *finishing a story tries to scare Aria* Rawr!
Aria - Is that all you got?
Artie/Air/Aurora - *snickers*
Ash - Rachel.. why haven't you gotten out of your PJs? 
Rachel - Because you're supposed to wear them here.  ((The only person who is not insane/stayed in her PJs ))


Aurora - Like this Uncle Ash?
Ash - Yeah good job. Now just keep reeling it in and maybe something will bite.
Aurora - This is fun.. does this mean I can go fishing in the Grotto now?
Ash - I don't know.  You still have two aspirations left to do.
Aurora - Oh.. that stuff is easy.
Ash - Only if we can get more kids in the neighborhood.
Aurora - Scarlet will have one soon.  I know she will.  I told her to so that I can have a best friend in the house like you do.
Ash - *chuckles*

Ooooo!  You made an ice cream parlor!!  Did you put it in the gallery?  I would so love to visit it.  They look so happy in their pj's feasting on ice cream.  I've never done a birthday anywhere but home but one at a restaurant might be really cool.

[Ricalynn]

@Joria It is on the gallery. I put it up after I made it after Dine Out came out and put more pictures on the Restaurant thread.  Only serves ice cream, all staff is in PJs and dress code is Sleepwear!  You can find it under the #carlsguides & #ricalynn if you want it .   Easiest way to do it at a restaurant is to have your family at a table with nothing in the middle like napkins/menu/decor.  Then just click the table and order a cake!  You pay the price and then it appears on the table.  I think.

[FrancescaFiori]

That is the best idea for a restaurant I've seen yet! Amazing! They all look like they had a great time.

The pregnancy age freeze is annoying me, Lana and Ru no longer share a birthday but I'm happy to see Ash and Air age up together. I loved seeing the restaurant in action. Are you running it or did you sell it off?
