And it is a momentous occasion at the random selection household as we reach the final three days of the competition.Pippin: And our second-to-last skill area is robotics! I'm really excited to see if they actually create anything or if they just tinker at the robotics stations.
Venusia: Oh look, it's our kitchen table!
Pippin: Do you not see the robotics station behind you?
Venusia: Nope! I think it's time for socializing.
Felius: So, which of you lucky ladies think you'll end up winning the great prize, which is to say, me?
Vendara: Aren't you currently losing this competition?
Venusia: And what makes you think you're a prize?
Aravin: And why can't I beat this level on Angry Llamas?!?!?
Pippin: And why won't anyone work on robotics?
So in a repeat of our painting day, no one built any skills. At all. Not even one.Pippin: But then the real fun began!
In the dark of night, a quiet, peaceful home in the midst of a peaceful suburb was about to suffer the wrath of...toddlers!Pippin: Yep! Toddlers! It's time to see who's best at that oh-so-important parenting skill since that will be of extreme importance for this challenge. And as a fun footnote, these children are the result of using the DNA thing in CAS to get a sneak peek at what all the potential male-female pairings would produce as offspring! And they're all pretty cute!
Venusia: Good heavens! What a cutie pie! You must have a really attractive mother.
Pippin: Technically, you're the mother, so...
Venusia: And that just proves my point! And look what a perfect little angel he is!
Felius: Your mermaid baby is trying to swim in the toilet again!
Venusia: So angelic!
Aravin ...and then she was like, "Oh no, where are my shoes?"
Pippin: Aww, you came over to join little Ariel for some time playing with the dolls?
Aravin: Oh, umm, she came over to join me, actually. This just looked like so much fun!
Ariel: Pay wi daddy!
Felius: Play time!
Pippin: Aww, is Kai one of yours?
Felius: No idea! I didn't keep track.
Vendara: He's Aravin's.
Aravin: Thanks for helping to raise my kid, Felius!
Felius: You're welcome. Pretty sure I have kids around here somewhere?
Pippin: Alright, since people are probably curious, let's identify the kiddos from left to right. Little Kai is the child of Aravin and Venusia, Ariel is Aravin's daughter with Vendara, Eve is a mixture of Felius and Vendara, and Sri is the son of Felius and Venusia.
And let's continue with toddler spam.Pippin: I mean, YEAH!
Aravin: Some day, all of this will be your kingdom, Simba, but you must never go into that dark area.
Ariel: Wha dat?
Aravin: That is Forgotten Hollow, and it...
Vendara: is your mother's home!
Aravin: Oh, never mind. You rule everything, Simba.
Ariel: Simma wule!
Felius: Well, I suppose it's time to feed you, Eve. I guess the real question is what am I going to feed you
to?
Aravin: Wow, that's just good parenting right there!
Venusia: Yeah, it helps if you actually give them food instead of just leaving them in the chair.
Ariel: Wanna food!
Aravin Sorry, Ariel. Daddy's still new to this parenting thing.
Pippin: And I was super worried that something went wrong and that Aravin was glitched in some way. He had done several parenting things and still hadn't begun learning the skill while everyone else had.
It did kick in eventually, though, and Ariel did eventually get food...because she has a very responsible momma.Ariel: Tankoo momma!
Vendara: You're welcome, little one.
Venusia: Kai! What did I tell you about making a mess?
Kai: Mae bidder!!
Venusia: That's right! I expect a
much bigger mess, young man!
Aravin Wow, glad she's not influencing
my child like that!
Pippin: Umm, that's your son?
Aravin: Wait, I have
two kids?
And while Venusia was encouraging messes...Vendara was fighting against them.Vendara: Is no one else bothered by the stench? Seriously?
Felius: I'm on it!
Felius: I have to give you a bath because you're stinky.
Kai: No
you tinky!
Felius: I just mean you smell bad.
Kai
You bad!
Felius: ...this one's hurting my feelings! Can we call the adoption agency and trade him in?
Venusia: You try to get rid of my precious angel and you'll be picking your fangs up off the ground.
Felius: ...I'll just get back to giving him his bath now.
Venusia: ...and then the baby said, "Yo, what up, dog?"
Ariel: Up dod!!
Pippin: I'm not really sure that's what that says?
Venusia: Well, I started life at the young adult stage, so I never went to school, so if I never learned to read, that's kind of your fault.
Pippin: Wait, that's not...
Vendara: No, she's got a point.
Pippin Dang it!
Ariel: Dand it!
Pippin: Ariel, language!
Felius: Woot! Snack time! Such great parenting!
Pippin: Umm, you did no parenting. Sri just grabbed leftovers off the high chair.
Felius: Yes, he grabbed it for
snack time. Totally parenting right now!
Pippin: Vendara, on the other hand, actually
did have a handle on this parenting thing.
Vendara: What's this one?
Ariel: A tard!
Vendara: Yes, it's a card, but what's on the card?
Ariel: You han!
Vendara: Yes, my hand's on the card, but what is the picture?
Ariel: It a pitshur!
Pippin: This is going well! Aravin's parenting approach is a bit less teaching-focused.
Aravin: Who can fly? You can fly!
Sri: WWWHEEEE!!!
Pippin: While Venusia's parenting style is more lead-by-example.
Venusia: Now
this is how you make a mess, kids!!
Pippin: And Felius' parenting style is, well, a bit more reserved.
Felius: Daddy needs his down time!
Pippin: But eventually, we were coming up to the end of our final week and it was just about time to announce the winners.
Indeed. It had originally appeared that Felius was not even going to try this week, but he managed to score a very solid 6. Unfortunately for him, Aravin just barely managed to get that second point of parenting in mere hours before the week ended, and therefore, finished with a score of 7 making him our male founder!Aravin: Alright, Ariel! We've won! We get to go get this dynasty started now!
Pippin: You don't actually get to take Ariel with you.
Aravin: But...but she's the cutest!!!
Ariel: Am tutest!
And that brings us to the ladies. In a race that was tight the whole way through, Vendara managed to slowly pull out a lead and never let it go. While Venusia logged an impressive score of 7, Vendara totalled 9 points this week to become our female founder.Vendara: Got to agree with Aravin. I want to bring Ariel.
Pippin: I'm sorry, but on the bright side, she
is an example of what your combined genes can create.
Vendara: How entirely scientific and non-sentimental of you, Pippin.
Pippin: Why, thank you!
Vendara: That wasn't a compliment.
Pippin: Oh.
And so, we are prepared to strand these two poor Sims on a vacant lot and leave them to raise 45 children on their own!Vendara: It sounds less like winning when you say it that way...
Aravin: And sounds more like awesome!
Voices:
Aravin: Oh. Awful, not awesome. I misheard.
Pippin: And for those of you who enjoy scoreboards, here's the final score for our final week:
