The Drifter Chronicles - House 005 (COMPLETE)

[commasplice]

Phone conversation with Davos Flint, Serra Flint, and Marya Flint

Davos: Mom is fine

Serra: What? What happened?

Marya: Is she okay?

Davos: I just said she was fine.

Serra: Nobody calls out of the blue to say his mother is fine unless she wasn’t fine earlier. Spill. What happened?

Davos: Uh.



Marya: WHAT HAPPENED?

Davos: She uh, she died?



Journal entry, Cersei Lannister

You would think no one had ever brought a sim back from the dead before.

I was having some spaghetti and meatballs when I heard Davos screaming and crying from the foyer. I came over to see Lyanna lying dead on the parquet flooring.



While Davos did everything but tear his hair out, the Grim Reaper manifested.

I was sorry for Davos, of course, but after all, Lyanna is beyond old and it is to be expected that her time is limited.

I was debating whether I should share my fear that the inevitable sad moodlet would derail my promotion when I saw Davos on his knees begging the Grim Reaper to spare his mother.



I will admit it was quite spectacular to see her reanimated.



But honestly, it's not like this never happens.



The Grim Reaper stayed afterwards and even helped Cerenna with her school project.





Cerenna didn't seem to think it was a big deal either.



Phone conversation between Lyanna Holiday and Shireen Holiday:

Shireen: What do you mean you were brought back from the dead?

Lyanna: I mean I died and Davos pleaded with the Grim Reaper and I was brought back.

Shireen: ….did you see a white light or …?

Lyanna: I don’t remember anything. Sorry to sound anticlimactic, but I don’t.

Shireen: Wow.

Lyanna: Yeah.

[Shewolf13]

Oh wow.  So glad Davos could plead for her!  It is a fun animation.  Man, I love Cersei's nonchalance about it XD

[PeregrineTook]

The calm reactions to Grim were great!  He's just such a nice guy!

Thanks! I really felt Cersei wouldn't particularly care so I'm glad you liked that.

LOL, glad it worked for you.

Watcher note: sorry for the hiatus. I've been traveling.

Re: Progress Report 006



Tommen aged up to a toddler and I discovered I was pregnant again. There isn’t much drywall left thankfully.



Cerenna has a mouth on her, but at least she does her homework without much prompting.





Davos tells me you have all the records from previous Drifters so perhaps you can tell me—are all the fathers this useless in the delivery room?

Re: Re: Progress Report 006

All male sims are useless in the delivery room. Not just drifters. Ask me how I know.

Journal entry, Serra Flint

I suppose I should give Cersei props. She may hate us. She may have her nose permanently stuck up in the air, but she does work. In the time Marya and I were there, Cersei must have knocked out at least 3 masterpieces.



Tommen aged up into a child. He got the good trait. I can’t say he’s a lot like Cerenna. She’s supposedly a music lover, but she never goes near the toy violin we got her for her birthday.

Re: Progress Report 007

So the house is really coming along.

The last of the drywall has been covered!

We need to work on all the details. It looks a little hodgepodge to me, but Cersei says we’re going for “eclectic chic.” I’m not sure what that means, but as long as she’s happy.

We’ve been a little remiss with the photos of the kids. Myrielle’s already a toddler. She’s a charmer.



I worry about Cerenna. We were so busy trying to work on the house and our careers that I’m afraid we didn’t spend enough time with her when she was a toddler. 



Myrielle is getting the benefit of our time, though.

[Shewolf13]

It still never fails to amuse me the men panicking during labor lol.  I love Ceresei's take on it lol and Elsa's response was such as fun. Love the wall patterns you have there.  Are they CC?  I have to admit to not using the wallpapers much in game lol

Yeah, most of my wall coverings are cc. In this case, the majority of it is Peacemaker's (http://peacemaker-ic.tumblr.com/) although some of it may have been from madhox on modthesims. I was having issues with my computer, had ditched everything, but then figured out what was hogging up ALL of the storage--and it was not cc. So I went cc shopping again

Journal Entry, Cerenna Lannister

I cannot wait to move out.

As soon as I aged up to a teenager, Mama and Daddy sat me down and explained the Drifter Project to me. Daddy made this huge deal about how I didn’t have to do it if I didn’t want to. Mama just kept on talking about my heritage and obligations.

As long as it gets me out of this house, I am 100% in.





Mama had a snit fit when a vampire broke into the house and bit Daddy right in front of Myrielle.



That’s how Mama found out, because Myrielle asked her if she was going to have two Daddies.



My aunts came over and told her to chill. They also told her to stop nagging me about my clothes and hair.



I just don’t get why it’s so important what I look like or what I eat. So what if I’m a vegetarian? Who cares if my hair isn’t even, or if my top doesn’t go with my shorts? Why can’t she get out of my grill?

She’s not like this with Tommen who dresses like he wandered out of a Ren Fair. She is patient with Myrielle. Not with me.



She was on me again about my clothes at the joint birthday party we threw for her and Myrielle.



Maybe I went too far when I asked if she wasn’t too mature to be dressing like a young adult.





Email from Davos Flint to Marya and Serra Flint

Cersei finally agreed to marry me. I’ve been asking her for years now, but she was adamant about the kids having her surname. I told her I didn’t care about that, but you know how she can get.



Anyhow, we’re getting married at San Myshuno Meadows tomorrow. We would love it if you could come.

[BallerinaHippo]

Great update!  The way you write the story is always entertaining.

Why am I not surprised that Cersei's daughter has a strong personality and is pushing back against her mother?  Cerenna will make a great drifter when her time comes. 

[Shewolf13]

Go Cerenna!  You be who you want to be! That makes me very happy lol

[Tynynounours]

You made me laugh with Cerenna accepting anything to get out of the house. Curious to see what will be her challenge.

And bad Vlad to bit people in front of their toddlers. Really...

Congrats Davos on convincing stupborn Cersei to finally marry you.

[PeregrineTook]

Awww, how sweet!  Cersei is glorious and deserves a several-years-long proposal  ;=)
Oh goodness, Cerenna's sassy narration and grumbling was delightful!  As much as I enjoy each household, I always find myself getting so excited to see what challenges will come for the next one!

I figure Cersei is not the easiest mother to have and that it's human nature to rebel a little (or a lot) from our parents.

I thought vampires stayed out when people were awake, but apparently not!

Yeah, I hear you. The one thing that's frustrating with this challenge is that the teen years are long and by the time my heir is a teenager, I'm dying to be on to the next house. And spoiler alert: the next house was a huge challenge for me.

Re: Progress Report 008

Thanks for the flowers. I remember my parents having these too and it’s kind of nice to see the tradition continue.



We got married yesterday. The weather was beautiful and my family was able to make it to the ceremony.



Cersei thinks the photos make her look fat, but I think she’s crazy. She says to tell you that her gown was made of ivory Myrish silk and gold brocade and took its inspiration from a vintage Braavosi dress she’s always liked.





It got a little awkward at the reception when Vlad was tending bar, but how was I supposed to know he had a literal day job?



Myrielle got a little too creative and decided to make a mess in the reception hall, but we did make her clean it up. When we got back we hugged it out and hopefully she won’t do that again.





The kids are growing up so fast. Tommen had his birthday. He's a cat lover.

Re: How soon can I join up?

I am ready to become a drifter like right now. What do I need to do to make that happen?

Re: Re: How soon can I join up?

Hi Cerenna,

While we’re excited that you’re all in for continuing with the Drifter Project, you cannot begin it until you age up into a young adult.

Also, don’t you want the details first?

Re: Re: Re: How soon can I join up?

I can’t do anything right for my mother.  My hair’s too messy. I don’t wear the right clothes, but she spent all day long for my brother’s birthday wearing her nothing but her underwear.



I guess I can stand it a few days more. What will I have to do when I become a drifter?

Re: Re: Re: Re: How soon can I join up?

We can’t share all the details, but you’re going to have to a roommate to begin with and you’ll need a lot of project management skills to fulfill all the requirements. As with the other generations, you will need to have an heir as well and raise him or her to young adulthood.

[PeregrineTook]

Ooo, another roommate challenge household.  I wonder if this will also go roommate-to-spouse or if it will take a different turn. 
The wedding was lovely, by the way.
Cerenna's rush to get out of the house is a nice, funny bit for the end of this household's time  :=)
