Artie's Dynasty

[Gogowars329]

R.I.P Gnomes! They will be missed. Congrats to Alex and Michael! Thorton likes to watch little teens.

[Lilygirl]

Congrats to Alex and Micheal!

I now pronounce you Husband and Husband!  You may kiss your bride!

That line made me giggle!

[Ricalynn]

Angelica: "Just like that?"
Malcolm: "Just like that.  Now I can spend my days waiting for my Power Broker wife to come home without worrying about the studio calling with an emergency."
Angelica: "Aw Mallybear. "
Malcolm: "Angelmuffin, get over here and let me show how much I love you."


Rica: "Well aren't you looking a little shady."
Cassandra: "Not in the mood to talk right now, Rica.  I'm off to school."
Rica: "Blah.. teenagers!"


Rica: -giggle-
Artie: "Rica!"
Rica: "I didn't do it!"
Artie: "You could have warned me."
Rica: "True.  I could have."
Artie: -mumbling under breath-


Rica: "So.. you guys like the slide?"
Michael: "I think that's a silly question, Rica."
Rica: "Probably but I've noticed that at least one of you is playing on this thing all day long."
Michael: "Hey we're enjoying our free time.  Is that a bad thing?"
Rica: "No of course not."
Bella: "The sliding helps smooth out some of the wrinkles."
Rica: "Aha! I knew there had to be a reason you guys constantly wished to be on this thing."
Malcolm: "Be careful not to rip it with to toe of your boot, Angelmuffin."


Cassandra: "Rhonda.. I'm glad you came over."
Rhonda Conner: "Yeah sorry I've been avoiding you.  I didn't want you to know that I had had a birthday."
Cassandra: "Yeah about that. I think it's really sweet that you gave me punch at the prom.  And I think our date the night after was really special but I don't think I can see you anymore."
Rhonda Conner: "What.. why?"
Cassandra: "For one, you're an adult which means we can't really do much of anything until my birthday.  For two, you're a vampire and, while you'll always be one of my best friends, I don't think that will work out for us in the end.  House rules are that you could never live here with me.  And I just think it's time we put an end to this before we both really get hurt."
Rhonda Conner: "I don't understand."
Rica: "She's in the middle of a mood swing and she doesn't want you anymore.  Get off my property before I have to get ugly."
Cassandra: "Well I said my piece and I'm going to bed now.  Goodbye Rhonda."
Rhonda: "Wait.. who was that?"
Rica: "You don't want to know that answer.  Go home."


Teacher: "Alicia, don't go too far ahead.  Wait for our police escort."

Teacher: "Cassandra, that's for adults only.  You can't go back there!"

Rica: "Ahh the joy of field trips."


Alicia: "Hey look we got honorary badges for going to the jail today."
Rica: "Oh neat.  I'll put them in you guys room.  Alicia today is the presidential debate for you and Cassandra, Art-a-thon is about to start."
Girls in unison: "Oh yeah.  Thanks!"


And naturally, Cassandra won the Art-a-Thon prize of a limited edition print.


Just as it is totally natural that Alicia won the debate and is now school president.

Side note:

So that's who the father is!  It was hard to tell since everybody was on the beach and I didn't know who lived where!

[Gogowars329]

Awesome update Rica! Loved the part where Cassandra dumped Rhonda. 'Get off my property before I have to get ugly!'

[Ricalynn]

Rica: "And what do we have here?"
Jenni the child Gnome: "A nuisance."
Rica: "Does the nuisance have a name?"
Dean the Gnome:  "The name is Riley."
Rica: "Welcome Riley - can someone please get him what he wants before he wakes up the IF dolls? Thank you."


(1)Angelica: "You think I'll be able to do this after the birthday cake?"
(2)Michael: "I don't know.  You're going to be old."


Alex: "I have a handsome husband, loving family, doing great at work.. No idea what to wish for."
Rica: "Think fast!"
Alex: -thinks really hard and then blows out the candles-

Rica: "So what's your wish?"
Alex: "I'm not telling you."
Rica: "How rude."

Rica: "Wow you look great as an old guy."
Alex: "Why thank you. Still not telling."


Angelica: "Aw. I want what Alex wished for."
Rica: "What did he wish for?"
Angelica: "I don't know but if he wants it, he should have it."

Angelica: "Ut oh.  I forgot to wish for prettiness."
Rica: "How could you not be pretty? You're Angelica Grim."

Angelica: "Ta-da!  I love when you talk sweet to me Rica."
Rica: "Well it is your birthday.  I'll go get the hair dye!"


Wilbur McIrish: "Aw man.  I'm getting Artie Grim's autograph. I can't believe it."
Artie: "Anything for my granddaughter's boyfriend.  Speaking of which, let's go inside and have a little chat."


-evil laughter and suspenseful movie music!-


Riley the Gnome Toddler: "Peek-a-boo Alex!"
Alex: "Well hello there.. Don't tumble off the counter ok?"
Riley: "OK."


Sandi French: "This can't be good."
Escaped Patient Paparazzi: "I don't think you're getting home."
Sandi French: "Someone make sure Nancy doesn't make Wilbur a vampire."

Sandi French: "Alright Mr Reaper.  Point the way and don't try no funny business."

Angelica: "Alex.. I don't think I can watch anymore.  Can you come dye my hair?"
Alex: "Ok Gelly.  Let's go inside."
Sandi French: "Bye."

~*Fashion Show Time*~



I would just like to point out that Angelica's bathing suit is Lilac for Alex and has yellow accents for Malcolm.  Aww

[mrsbclark]

Aww cute gnome noo-boo and peek-a-boo too!

I also really loved the evil Mr. Burns photos of Artie.

Great update, but I'm sad because this means I'm getting closer to loosing Alex. I'm going to be more upset than when his mother died I think. Malcolm and Michael too are getting up there. I have a feeling a sad update will be coming our way soon.

[Ferretmania]

Happy birthday to Alex and Angelica, they both look great.
 
Aww what a cute gnome nooboo.
 
Oh I hope Artie's chat with Wilbur doesn't scare him of, so he takes of and never comes back :O

[MissMaths]

Aww, cute nooboo gnome! Sorree I've not commented a while, but I'm always watching... *copies Artie's Mwuhaha pose*
Great updates as ever, Rica!

[TheChronicR]

I love gnome nooboos, too! Best addition to the game, ever.

Wow, they don't look like elders a bit! That's so sweet of Angie, about the swimwear. Wilbur, don't you dare to become a vampire or we'll ask Rica to upload you to Swap Shop and afterwards... -checks forum rules- ...

[Lilygirl]

I noticed Angelica's swimsuit wasn't pink and wondered why for a second before I scrolled down far enough to read your comment. She's a sweet heart. I decorate my Immortals bedrooms with the accent colour(s) being the favorite colour(s) of their spouse/sibling, it's a great way to remember a Sim. Angelica's method is better though, especially considering she's insane and likely to wear her bathing suit out to dinner. 

[Ricalynn]

Michael: "There you go Malcolm!"
Malcolm: "That wasn't as hard as I thought it would be when I was younger."
Michael: "How do you feel?"
Malcolm: "Great."
Michael: "You know - they way you said that makes me think you should go back to work and do voices for cartoon tigers."
Malcolm: "That's an interesting notion."


Jenni the Child Gnome: -making airplane noises-
Rica: "Aww.. having sweetie?"
Jenni: " Uh huh.  About to fly over Gem Valley."
Rica: "Ok.. make sure you have enough fuel to get you over.  Wouldn't want you to fall and get hurt."
Angelica: "You're talking to a gnome and you say I'm insane?"
Rica: "What?"


Gnome Nooboo Riley spends all of his/her time with Simis' statue.  It's actually kind of weird but since he's sleeping I don't ask questions.


Malcolm: "Where are we going again?"
Bella: "The awards ceremony for the girls."
Michael: "Don't forget to lock the gate.  There's a paparazzi standing on the sidewalk."


Michael: "Oh nevermind.  He's being taken care of."
Malcolm: "Locked it anyway."
Rica: "Whoo!"
Dead Paparazzi: "Why are you so excited?"
Rica: "You just wouldn't understand.  Wait here for the Reaper - we have an awards ceremony for the girls to go to."


Rica: "Hey what are you doing?"
Reaper: "Catching up on the game.  Got the call right as the quarter started."
Rica: "I don't care.. why are you waiting at my house?"
Reaper:  "I just said I was watching the game."
Rica: "I have old people who live here.  Go do it somewhere else!"
Reaper: "Fine Fine.  Tell Artie that Sam says hi."


Rica: "Hey Artie.. Sam.. Oh Boy."
Artie: "What? Oh."
Alicia: "We can't even go to dinner without an interruption."
Bella: "What is that smell?  I hope it's not the restaurant."
Malcolm: "I think it's the dead woman."


Artie: -evil laugh at seeing ghost-
Alex: -in his bathing suit- "Oh come on Dad.  Don't make a scene."
Artie: -cough- "OH.. right.  So what were you saying about a Sam, Rica?"
Rica: "Oh Sam came by and took the paparazzi that died.  Not sure if he'll be the one to take his wife here or not."
Artie: "Ah.  Well you never know."


Artie: "Sam.. dude.. not cool."
Sam the Reaper: "He's my favorite celebrity."
Artie: "Still not cool."
Alex: "Daddy.. make the bad man stop."
Artie: "Don't worry, Son.  I won't let him take away your husband."


Cassandra: "So when was your birthday Wilbur?"
Wilbur: "Yesterday.  I graduated today at City Hall."
Cassandra: "Would have been nice to receive a phone call."
Wilbur: "I know but I was afraid that Alicia would break up with me like you did Rhonda."
Cassandra: "Ouch. "
Artie: "It's nice of you to come home with us Wilbur.  If you want you can spend the night, but you can't sleep in the same room as my granddaughter."
Wilbur: "Yes sir."
Cassandra: -giggles-
Artie: "What's so funny?"
Cassandra: "He called you sir."


Artie: "I know losing someone in your household can be really hard.  I want you to know it will be ok and that this family is here for you."
Wilbur: "Sandi was like a second mother to me.  Thank you for inviting me over.  It's just so creepy in the house with just me and Nancy."
Artie: "I know that cold-hearted business woman scares me, too."


Artie: "That's for the pirate boots! I mean come on!"


Malcolm: "Hey Alicia - look at Daddy!"
Alicia: "That's nice Dad.  Don't break your neck ok?"
Malcolm: "I'll try not to."
Alicia: "Good.  I don't get to fix that kind of thing until my birthday."
Malcolm: "You're going to make a great doctor sweetie."
Alicia: "Aw.  Thanks Dad. Let's go to bed."

[Ricalynn]

Rica: "Well that's certainly an interesting outfit.   Have fun playing around in the dark ages did we?"
Michael: "I like it.  The boots are a little uncomfortable but otherwise, it's not too bad. "
Rica: "Well I'm glad you're having fun.  That's what is important."
Michael:  "Don't let Artie hear you say that."
Rica: "Oh I won't."


Malcolm: "Uh… I just started floating for no reason."
Rica: -gasp- "Angelica! Get in here! Quick!"


Malcolm: "Ok so maybe there was a reason.   Rica.. I can see through my hand."
Rica: -sniffle- "Me too."
Miraj Alvi: "Aw Malcolm.  Why did you have to die huh?"


Kurtis Beaulieu: "Hey what's with all the sparkles?"
Angelica: "It's about time."
Kurtis: "What's that supposed to mean?"
Angelica: "You've been about to die since before I graduated high school."
Malcolm: "Angelmuffin.. I have some bad news."


Angelica: "What do you mean it's your time?"
Malcolm: "My number is up, sweetheart."
Angelica: "No.. Michael isn't dead yet."
Malcolm: "Things don't work like that, Angelmuffin."


Angelica: "But Mallybear, how will I live without you?"
Malcolm: "You're going to have to find a way.  Someone has to take care of Alicia.  Make sure she finishes her requirements in time.  Make sure she finds true love like ours."
Angelica: "I don't wanna."
Malcolm: "Please.  For me?"


Grim Reaper: "It's an honor to meet you.  I've watched all your movies."
Malcolm: "Thank you.  It's always nice to meet a fan.  You took forever getting here so could we make this quick.  My wife is watching."
Grim Reaper: "Oh of course, of course.   We've placed your tombstone right over there so if you're ready you can jump in anytime."
Malcolm: "Thanks a lot."
Grim Reaper: "Oh no.  Thank you.  We finally caught the Beaulieu guy who has been dodging us."




Alicia: "Oh Daddy.  You'll never get to see the galaxy I just named for you."
Rica: "Don't worry.  I think he already knows."
Alicia: "How?"
Rica: "Just trust me."


Angelica: "I hope you're comfortable here, my love.  I put you down right next to Mama and Jocasta.   And these are the flowers you gave me at the party tonight. " -sniff-
Rica:  "It'll be ok, Angel.  Why don't we go home and take a nap?"
Angelica: "Do I have to do it in my bed?"
Rica: "No.. if you want I'll get you a sleeping bag."
Angelica: "Ok.  That's sounds like a good idea."


Meanwhile back at the house:
Rica: "I'm not sure if I should be happy.. or just.. you know."
Michael: "I know.  Me too.   I'm going to go hold Alex real tight for a while."


Angelica: "It's been a whole day without you, Mallybear.  Alicia seems to be handling the news pretty well.  Michael finally got Rica a caveman suit.   We're not telling Daddy yet though.  I'm just not sure what to do with myself.  Bella said I could always just go fishing.  Worry about bait instead of my broken heart.  Alex and Michael are inseparable.   Morty has been hanging around, too.  He and Bella hit 90 today you know.   That means you would have been 93. " -sigh- "I just miss you so much. "


Bella: "Morty.. you still love me?"
Mortimer: "Always."
Bella: "Marry me Morty."
Mortimer: "We can't do that."
Bella: "Yes we can.  There are 7 in my house and I spoke with Artie and Alicia.  Marry me Morty."


Mortimer: "With this ring.."

Bella: "…I thee wed."

Until death do us part.



Ricanote: I've been avoiding doing this update for obvious reasons.  But I miss Artie and his family so the show must go on.  The house is back up to 8 with 6 elders and 2 teenagers.  Two of the elders are Immortals.  Let's just hope that Story Progression doesn't make me mad and turn Wilbur into a vamp before someone in the house meets the Grim on duty. But this is the least I could do for Bella and Morty's last days.

[Juxtaposition]

Wow, Grim was busy at Artie's house, that's for sure!  I like Michael's middle ages knight outfit, very spiffy, I haven't been allowing my time traveller to the past, since he keeps changing my other Sims careers while he's back there *shakes fist in anger* LOL

It's nice that Bella and Mortimer now get to spend their golden twilight years together, fingers crossed that you don't end up with any 150 day old sims throwing a monkey wrench into your plan. But when all else fails, throw a party, you know Grims can't resist a shindig

[samoht04]

Naaw, R.I.P Malcolm! Poor Angel and Alecia!  Yay for Bella and Morty! 

[Ricalynn]

Angelica: "And we eat this every week?"
Artie: "Every week."
Angelica: "And you're sure this is the right stuff with the deathfish and the life fruit?"
Artie: "Yes this is Ambrosia."
Angelica: "Where the heck did the marshmallows come from?"
Artie: "Child.. shut up and eat."
