Teaser
     Agnes Fleming was destitute, gave birth to a baby boy in a London workhouse and promptly died. Her son, named Oliver Twist by the beadle, Mr Bumble, grew up in the workhouse before he dared to ask for more of the served gruel one night, at which point he was sold to an undertaker. Running away to London, he fell in with a bad crowd including the pick pocket Jack Dawkins (Artful Dodger), the avaricious Fagin, the kind hearted prostitute Nancy and the dangerous and murderous Bill Sykes, before chance brings him into the extended family of his mother.

     Having grown up into a young adult, Oliver Twist, now known as Oliver Fleming, having taken his mother's surname, left to make his fortune, and found his way to a portal that took him to the Sims 3 world of Dragon Valley, full of elves and a family of orphans being raised by Cassidy Predegast. Join Oliver and his descendants, orphans from literature, as they offer more to the orphans and elves of Dragon Valley.

Oliver Flemming - part 1 - New clothes and a New Start

 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
Meet our founder, Oliver Flemming, better known to the wider audiences as Oliver Twist.

Oliver - I've come to Dragon Valley to make my fortune and a home for orphans! Plus, I like elves and baby dragons.

So with the wonderful building powers of his watcher and the limited funds of a founder in an immortal dynasty, a 'house' was built.

Oiiver - The house aint much, but it is better than nothing!
 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

Of course, Oliver was friendly to the elves around Dragon Valley and some agreed to move in with him.
- Ava and Sean Kelly.

Oliver - Of course you two can keep your jobs! And have a baby!
 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
Sean - oh would you shut the bathroom door, Ol? We want to check the plumbing in private.

Oliver - of course, and if the two of you don't mind, I'd like you to take care of the garden and fishing for me, so I can write.
 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
Sean/Ava - No problem, Ol.

- and Siobahn Murphy
Oliver - yes, you can keep your romantic interest, Siobahn. Have a baby with him, if you like. Just don't get him to move in.

Siobahn - if you'll excuse me, Ol, I need to go and see Aaron! We're catching up at the Big Show venue.

Oliver - Enjoy the show, Siobahn.
 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
Siobahn - oh, I'll be part of the show along with Aaron, Ol.

Oliver - and I'd like you to take care of my portraits, please.
 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
Siobahn - No problems, Ol.

Oliver - I have more writing to do.
 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

Of course, Oliver had heard of Cassidy Predergast, a elf woman unable to have any children of her own, and so she adopted three sets of siblings - the three Lawless children, the two Dwyer kids and the Gallgher girl. Oliver was looking for love, he had been trying to find it for a long time, and if he found it among Ms Predergast and her wards, it would be that much better.

Oliver - I am going to visit Cassidy and her young charges.
 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

Oliver - I would really like to become good friends with you and your children, Ms Predergast.
 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

Cassidy - Friends call me Cassidy, please call me that, unless you become my patient, in which case, I can be called Dr Prendergast, Oliver.

Oliver - ok, Cassidy. Now, your oldest child is Orion and he is almost half way through high school?

Cassidy - yes, and then there is Sophie, she's just younger than him. And my youngest is Cara Gallgher. You are welcome anytime, Oliver. In fact, can I get you to watch over Cara and Dillion while I go to work? Consider yourself at home, and as part of the furniture, we've taken to you just fine. To me its clear we're going to get along.

Oliver - I would be happy to help out, Cassidy.
 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

Meanwhile, Ava and Sean continued to express their love for each other.
 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

Before Ava gave birth to a little girl called Ruth in the local hospital.
 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

Shortly after, Siobahn went into labour at home, with much encouragement from Oliver ...
 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
and Ava.
 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

Siobahn - Go and make yourselves useful. Take out the rubbish and make the beds or something.
 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

Siobahn gave birth to another little girl, who Siobahn named Grace.
 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]


Regarding names
Ruth - named for the piratical maid of all work of Pirates of Penzance fame. The entire crew of the Tarantara are orphans and she is their 'mother figure'.
Grace - named for the secretary to Oliver Warbucks, of Annie fame. She is the positive mother figure to Annie in the musical.

Oliver Fleming - Part 2 - Nooboos Among Us

Ruth and Grace learned to cry in unison,
 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
tying their two mothers around their little fingers.

Ruth's father, Sean,
 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
was likewise unable to resist the powers of cuteness possessed by the two nooboos.
(Not that Sean tried too hard, I don't think!)

Oliver ... asked me a quesion.
Oliver - Dek, let me tell this part, please.
Dek - As you wish, Oliver!

Oliver - Thanks. I returned to the house of Cassidy and her little ones, to see they weren't as little any more. More teens, with the oldest of her charges almost ready to finish at school and enter the workforce, or to further his studies at uni.
 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
Oliver - Which is good for me and my ongoing search for love. I renewed my friendship with Cassidy.
 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
Oliver - I haven't been ignoring you, Cass. We've got too little girls at home, and I've been helping out with them
Cassidy - that's fine Ol! Say would you like a pot plant? Oh and Cara's too big for you to cuddle her now, but Dillon's still a toddler. I'm getting in lots of cuddles with him before he's too big for my lap. But go ahead and cuddle him yourself.
Oliver - I did so!
 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
Oliver - and we were becoming friends.
Oliver - meanwhile Cara was commanding her loyal computer subjects, and asked me to write a biography about her short life.
 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
Oliver - and I invited Cass and Sophie out to dinner with me at the restaurant in Dragon Valley. As luck, bad luck, would have it, one of the staff there spilled food over my clothes, but I was kind to him, and he assured me that the meal was on them (actually it was on me, but I wasn't going to point that out to him, he was feeling bad enough as it was. I also got a free angel cake out of the encounter, so no foul!
 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
Cassidy - Oliver was very kind about it all with the butter fingered kid, and I was almost hoping he would kiss me, but I know about him and his household not having enough space for me and my brood. If I was younger, he and I could ...

Sophie - Oliver dresses well, and to think he was an orphan, but it doesn't sound like he had it good like me. I mean, he had to ask for more, and instead of giving it to him, he was threatened with cockroaches served in a cannister and a dark chimney long over due for a cleaning out. Poor guy, he must have been so hungry. If I was older, I would be able to feed him and we could ...

Dek - Oliver was unaware of the plans being made for him, he wanted friends at this stage of things. He liked them all - Cassidy, Sophie, Nora and Cara and didn't want to make any of them unhappy or come between their bonds as family but once he got back he chatted online with someone new.

Oliver - *typing* I want at least some of their skin colour and hair colour to come into my bloodline.
 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
Corren - *typing back* ewww dude! That's my mother and sisters you are talking about! eww dude.

Oliver - *typing* Oh, you are THAT Corren, Corren Dwyer? Say, my housemates have had daughters, maybe when they get older you and they could ...

Corren - *typing* No, dude. No no no! That's just plain wrong! Besides I hope I will be chosen by @PeregrineTook to be Lidell's spouse! Dude, you should read all about the Flanagans here, they are great. Look, dude, mum's telling me to go to bed. I told her tomorrow's Sunday.
Oliver - *typing* Corren, go to bed, goodnight, don't make your mother upset.
*turns off computer as front door opens*
Siobahn - I'm home!
Oliver - Welcome back! Now, where have you been?
Siobahn - I was commissioned to deliver a medium painting to the Mithrilen family, so I painted a flower.
 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
Siobahn - They were at that new gym, the Skylight Centre for the Performing Arts, and they gave me a lot of money for it.
 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
Siobahn - oh, it's almost Ruth's birthday. Let's throw a party for her!
Oliver - oh, you can organise it, I need to get back to writing. Just make sure you invite Cassidy and her kids.
Siobahn - my pleasure! I am a party animal! Excuse me watcher.
Dek - Yes?
Siobahn - would you be able to rearrange the furniture, maybe sell my paintings, except for the museum piece for our founder here and set up a party space for a toddler's party?
Dek - Yes!
Siobahn - Thank you Dek! Now, to invite the guests! *Pulls out phone and types in a number*
 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
Siobahn - Hi Aaron! Ava and Sean's daughter is becoming a toddler today, we want you to come to it. *listens* Oh our Grace, she'll be a toddler tomorrow. Please come to Ruth's party, tomorrow's Monday, and you're at work. *listens* Great! See you at 10!


@KRae good to hear! My aim was achieved! I'm happy you found this as well.
@PeregrineTook hope you don't mind the references to your story in here.

I was watching this, actually, just waiting for the story posts to start coming.  Then, I return from vacation and have this mysterious notification that I was mentioned in a post.  Imagine my surprise and delight  :=)
Looking forward to seeing what's next for the Fleming household!

Oliver Fleming - Part 3 - Ruth's Birthday Party

Oliver - Hello little one, today's your birthday! Today you become a toddler and get to do things! Yes you are! Oliver's going to take you out to all the people who have come to cheer you on and sing happy birthday to you.
 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
Ruth - *cute baby noises*

Oliver - Here are some of the people who have come to see you get older and give you gifts. Oh that's right, you love the outdoors!
 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
Aaron - Where's Grace? I want to see my daughter! Oh, music, is that Siobahn playing?
 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
Oliver - Yes it is. We've decided to have the party outside, Seasons isn't installed so we won't run the risk of a shower or snow wrecking Ruth's party.
Siobahn - My first song will be Pa Fought the Bear by Andrew Sondheim.*singing* Pa Fought the bear, he received a scare, It was done on a dare, Oh Pa fought the bear.
 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
Guests - *Polite applause*

*After song*

Siobahn - thank you all, you're too kind.
 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
Siobahn - And here's Sean, Ruth's father to play a song to Ruth ahead of her cake.
Sean *strums guitar as he sings* - Ruth is just a little lass, who is going to get older, Will she one day be a spouse and give genes to Oli's offspring? But for now all that matters to me, is that Ruth has a birthday that is very happy! So come join round her birthday cake and get in quick for a piece to take. *finishes to polite applause*

Ava - *carrying Ruth* Happy birthday Ruth. Time for you to grow up! Let's hope for a nice outfit.
 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
All - HAPPY BIRTHDAY RUTH!

Ava - Oh dear! Not even your favourite colour! And that hair do won't do.
 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
*A short time later after a visit to a mirror and dresser*
Ava - that's better, your favourite colour and everything.
 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
Seating was at a premium at the party, but when you don't have anyone to bankroll the household in the early days of the dynasty, that's to be expected!
 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
As people left, they helped with the cleanup, and said how much they enjoyed the party.
Little Dillon who was snuggled almost nonstop by Oliver on his last visit to the Predegast house, was now a child, and beyond snuggling
 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
Dillon - Oliver, do you want to come over to our house again? Mum would like it if you did.
Oliver - Yes, but there's this stuff to clean up after the party, and I wouldn't like to ...
 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
Siobahn *from mailbox* - Go, Ol. I can clean up. You need to find a spouse.

I think you'll be just as pleased as me when you see Grace as a toddler, @peachjam

@PeregrineTook I have it narrowed down a bit, I think. I think I know who it'll be. Probably not a member of the Prendegast family, though.

I recently tried playing with Seasons for the first time in maybe three years. I completely back you on shutting it off.

@KRae For whatever reason, I've never really been a fan of seasons beyond my initial ooh snow, how come my Sims get  to enjoy snow before me? It then became sigh, no fishing or gardening for parts of year, additional days off from work/school and I stopped using it

Oliver Fleming - Part 4 - Learning Things

Oliver - Hi Cassie, Orion, Cara, Sophie, Nora, Corren and Dillon. Hope you enjoyed the party for Grace earlier today.
All - Hi Ol, yes we did. The cake was nice and Grace turned out nice after her makeover.
 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
Corren - Come on in, Ol and play gridfootball.
Oliver - sure, I'll see how badly I play today.
Cassidy - So, what brings you here today, Ol?
 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
Oliver - Well, my housemate, Siobahn Murphey suggested I needed to go find myself a spouse and ...
Sophie - you came here to find one? Not very subtle, are you? Well, look elsewhere, it won't be me. I'm out of here.
Nora - wait for me! It won't be me, either.
 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
*And then there were three*
Corrin - Dude, I told you yesterday thats just ewwww and wrong. They are my sisters,dude. I don't want to hear it! Oh, sounds like someone's calling my name.
Oliver - *sigh*
Cassidy - Oliver, you didn't finish what you were saying.
Oliver - and I wanted some advice on it. These books have things in them that Siobahn said I should know about and she gave the to me to read them.
 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
Cassidy - *READING* The Sims 3 Immortal Dynasty Challenge by Tom "Metro" Schleuter. Goal. Start with one Sim. Only by accomplishing key tasks is your Founder granted the power of immortality upon reaching Elder status. The firstborn of every generation must also complete the same tasks to achieve their immortality. Your ultimate goal is 8 immortal Sims under one roof and to preserve their Dynasty forever with a valuable museum.
*STOPS READING AND LOOKS UP* Oh, I see why you are after a spouse. Well, I'm probably too old for it. I think I'm close to being an elder which means no babies, besides the doc said I can't have them. So I adopted the six kids. Wouldn't change a thing for the world. But I do worry for them, particularly once I've gone.

Oliver - I was an orphan myself when I grew up, Cass. I lived in a place far from here. If I had someone like you, it would have been happier for me. Mostly I wanted friendship and love, but most of them used me. I promise you that I will look out for your kids for you after you've gone. If you read through the requirements, number 6 says I need six best friends. I hope to have your 6 children as my best friends.

Cassidy - And your unique skill is ...

Oliver - Writing, I am currently writing a romance novel, called The Scrapbook. It is about a couple who meet in the scrapbooking aisle at their local department store and despite initial dislike, they gradually fall in love until they both begin work on a combined scrapbook.

Cassidy - sounds ... interesting. Look, we've got a computer here, top floor you can stay the night and use it if you like. It is rather late.

Oliver - Thanks, I don't want to disturb them back at home. I've been told I'm on potty duty with the girls.

Cassidy - but don't talk to the kids about you looking for a spouse. They really don't like that.

So Oliver went upstairs to type away.
 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
And the family gradually went to bed to the tappa tappa tappa of the keyboard.

Meanwhile across at the Fleming house.
 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
Ava - you are a clever girl, Ruth! You can do it! Yay!
Ruth - gah goo gah goo gah!
And in a nearby rocking chair nearby.
 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
Siobahn - Grace, you're almost a toddler! You're getting such a big girl. Soon you'll be having your birthday and then you can learn to talk and walk and do more.
Grace - *cute baby noises from mouth*
Siobahn - *sings* Little Grace Little Grace turn around; Little Grace Little Grace up and down; Little Grace Little Grace smile at me; Little Grace Little Grace that will do.

Back to the other mother and daughter who have finished learning to walk and talk and are now learning all about shapes and colours with the peg box.
 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
Ava - The square goes there, Ruth!
Ruth - square *picks up another shape* blue *tries to shove blue shape down wrong hole*
Ava - that's right, Ruth, its blue!
*plays for a while and then*
Ava - time for bed, Ruth. Mum's got work soon.

The sun comes up, and it is time for Grace to join Ruth in toddlerhood! Mum Siobahn brings her to the table.
 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
Sean Kelley joins in the intimate party - Ava is at work, Ruth is in bed and Oliver is at the Prendegast house. Obviously Sean has just woken up.
 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
Sean - a close up please, Watcher?
 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
Sean - I'm too sexy for my shirt, too sexy for my shirt, too sexy it hurts!
Siobahn - oy Watcher, it's about Grace, not him!
 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
Siobahn places nooboo Grace on the ground and after the sparkles, nooboo Grace becomes toddler Grace in a hairstyle and outfit that's going to need to be changed
 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
While Sean and Siobahn eat cake and Sean chats up Siobahn, Grace went to the mirror for a change of hairstyle and clothes.
 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
Only face paint and hairstyle at this point.
And then Sean takes over the responsibility of teaching Grace to walk in her new clothes.
 [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
While Siobahn plays the pegbox ...

And the xylophone with Ruth.

Oh wow, look at baby Grace! You were right, I am definitely pleased! Do we get lots of toddler spam next update? I love toddler spam. :)

Sean with the "I'm to sexy" song moment was pretty funny!
Still anxiously awaiting to see who Ol picks for a spouse (even though the Pendergast household orphans seem to want to hear nothing of his search).

Oliver Fleming Part 5 - Toddler Spam

Due to popular demand, well a request from @peachjam but popular demand sounds much more interesting, I present to you Toddler Spam. And what is a post consisting of toddler spam without informed commentary about the action? The answer to that is "This Post"TM! But it does have lyrics from a song about spam in the post. No need to thank me if the words to this song get stuck in your head, its all part of the service. So sit back, relax and enjoy a few servings of spam, toddler flavoured spam that is.
