Flowers of the Apocalypse 4.6: Bring Your Daughter...Isiah: Thanks for inviting me over, Adrian.
Adrian: It’s not a social visit. I want to talk to you about Pink.
Isiah: Pink? What about her?
Adrian: When are you going to marry her and give her the children she wants?
Isiah: Get married? I’ll get married when the Pope does!
[ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
Adrian: That is not OK!
Isiah: Listen up, Old Man! Pink does what I want, when I want and how I want. She’s mine now and nothing to do with you!
Adrian: I see! By the way, I’ve been developing the basement. I thought I’d put in a swimming pool so we can swim in all weathers…
Isiah: But it never rains here! You’re losing it, old man!
Adrian: I’d value your opinion. Would you take a look? Tell me what you think?
Isiah: I’ll take a look at it but I think it’s a crazy idea.

Mallow: Help! Help!
Orchid: What? What?
Mallow: It’s all dark and wet and I can hear splashing!
Orchid: It’s just a bad dream, Mallow. Let me just use the loo and then I’ll help you get settled again.

Meanwhile, in a closed off area of the basement…

Grim: GOOD EVENING!
Adrian: Have you come for me?
Grim: IT IS NOT YOUR TIME!
Adrian: Ah…
[ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
Poppy: Happy Birthday, Tweed!
Mallow: Hey – where’s my birthday photo?
Watcher: There’s been a lot going on…
Adrian: Thanks for everything, Watcher. I couldn’t have done it without you!
Watcher: You’re too Good!
Poppy: What are you two plotting?
Watcher: Nothing!
Adrian: Nothing!
[ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
Watcher: The wardrobes for Mallow & Tweed are cute. It will be nice when we can be totally free to choose more flattering outfits for everyone.

Poppy: Did you hear? Pink says that Isiah has disappeared! He left a couple of days ago and hasn’t returned. She thinks that something must have gone wrong in his job but the agency isn’t admitting anything.
Adrian: Oh dear! I wonder where he is. Is Pink OK?
Poppy: Well, she’s feeling a bit lonely in that big old house on the island. She’s asked if we can go over.
Adrian: For a visit?
Poppy: No, to stay with her until Isiah gets home.
[ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
Tweed: Mum?
Poppy: I’m sure it won’t be for long. You can come with us if you want?
Tweed: No, I want to be here for Trent’s birthday. I’ll miss you though. Come back soon.
Adrian: If we can…
Poppy: Love you, baby boy!
Tweed: Mum!
[ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
Watcher: And so Adrian and Poppy joined Pink and Max, her dog, at the Villareal Estate in Windenberg while she waits for Isiah’s return.

Reed: Phoey! I really wish we could get rid of Water Conservation Day. That NAP catches me out every week!
Trent: Smelly Belly Welly
Reed: Why can’t we vote on the NAPs?
Marguerite: I’m going to sort that out, but first I need to work on my Physics degree.

Orchid: Now this is a more refined look.
Watcher: Apart from the headdress.
Orchid: Well I like to keep some things the same.
[ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
Reed: Congratulations on your promotion.
Orchid: Thanks, gorgeous. Hey, you know while Mum and Dad are away…
Reed: The bathroom’s not as busy…
Orchid (biting lip): You read my mind…
[ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
Reed: Wow, Orchid, we are such a fertile combination!
Orchid: Are you pleased?
Reed: Over the moon! Let’s face it, Trent is adorable. More like him would be great!
[ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
Tweed: So you’re my big sister, Pink?
Pink: That’s me, short stuff!
Tweed: You don’t seem very unhappy.
Pink: Why should I be?
Tweed: Well, mum and dad went to live with you because you were worrying about someone called Isiah?
Pink: Well, he’s not come back. I’ve been making a few changes…got a new job as a daycare assistant…I feel….happy?
[ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
Watcher: Oh – the Johnny Zest outfit!
Reed: I know. But I make it look good!
Watcher: If you say so!
[ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
Marguerite: Happy Birthday Trent!
Trent: Margie Sad?
Marguerite: We’ve just heard that Aunt Prim has died. She was lovely!
Trent: Huggles?
Marguerite: Blow your candles out, first
Trent: Pfft
[ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
Watcher: Wow, Trent! That’s a bold wardrobe.
Trent: I think it’s cool.
Watcher: OK
[ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
Reed: I can’t believe my luck. A top channel caught my show and have signed me up for the big time. I’ve topped my career!
Watcher: Whoot! Whoot! (happy dance)
Reed: I revel in the humorous and love mischief.
Watcher: Your jollity and light-heartedness is infectious and, gradually, all the Sims around you are recovering their Joie de vivre and are ready to laugh, celebrate life's milestones and enjoy themselves once more.
[ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
Watcher: And you’ve got a promotion too!
Orchid: Not so conservative, this time.
Watcher: The boots look fun!

NotesAdrian didn't really interact with Grim, he just walked past him (restricted by Writer-Author) and I took a screenshot to make it look that way.
I was very happy about Reed getting the chance break at work to zoom to the top of his career. The restrictions lifted are:
• No parties or any other social events may be held.
• May not accept birthday party invitations.
• Sims may get married but must use the 'elope' option.
• May not tell jokes or choose any interaction from the 'funny' category.
• All holidays must be deleted from the calendar and may not be added back until this restriction is cleared.
• No foreign travel (Sulani, Salvadorada, Mt Korembi or Granite Falls) for leisure/holiday purposes until this and Politics has been cleared.
• Only one Sim per day may be invited over (if Military-Officer is lifted).
• Sims may not attend festivals (inc Finchwick Fairs).
• May not accept invitations to any event from other Sims.
• May not watch the Comedy channel nor the New Year's Eve channel on TV.
• May not use Party Place lot trait.
It's a real relief because autonomous comedy kept happening all the time so it'll be great to stop having to cancel it. Attending festivals etc out of neighbourhood is still restricted unless fitness level 10 (Professional Athlete) and to within the 6am-7pm curfew (Detective) but hosting parties will be nice. Having deleted all the holidays from the calendar, they all need reinstating. I need to find a list somewhere...
