The Frohman Dynasty. Final Chapter: Immortality Explained [FAILED]

[Orange Iguana]

It is not pink its a lightish red  . One a sort of relevant topic my twenty three month old son was sat eating a bowl of cereal earlier dressed in a snow white costume and pink tiara.

Oh my... that does sound awkward.

[Orange Iguana]

When we last left our family, Isaac tried to defend his sexuality despite wearing pink and signing up for ballet. This sounds very odd because Isaac is still a child.

[Screenshot of Maricela blowing out birthday cake candles lost to Imageshack. This should be the last one.]
We begin this chapter with Maricela's adult birthday party. Maricela decided to have Isaac throw the party but she didn't take into consideration that Isaac was only a child. This meant the party was full of kids and teens.
Maricela: I wish that me, Ethan, and Isaac could move into a new house.
Ethan: I told you, I can't leave Sunset Valley and we have the best lot in the city.
Isaac: Huh?
Ethan: (I'll explain later.)


Maricela: Hmmm, to keep the hairstyle or not to keep the hairstyle... no, what am I thinking?


Isaac invited more than just his school acquaintances to the party however...


Grim: Hey guys, thanks for inviting me to your mother's birthday party Isaac.
Bebe: Can't you enjoy the party without taking my soul?
Grim: I'm behind on my soul reaping because SOMEONE keeps eating ambrosia.
Agnes: Death isn't that bad Bebe, we'll be friends forever now.


David: Well, we all know the drill now. Everyone line up and we'll all forget that someone just died.


Welcome to the "People Who Made This Possible" section of the museum, Bebe. You're in here because you made ice sculptures of the immortals and took over the photography and the painting when Agnes went on strike. In addition, you also prepped the ambrosia that is now safely in the food replicator. With your death, the Frohmen do not have a level 10 cook... yet.


The next day, Ethan checked his e-mail.

"Dear Mr. Frohman,

We regret to inform you that your long lost sister tried eating a death flower. We are very sorry for your loss but she left behind $34,430. The money has been wired into your account."

Long Lost Frohman Relative Death Count: 5


2 days later, it was Isaac's teen birthday. Even the undead wanted to celebrate.
Ethan: Did you invite Grim this time?
Isaac: Unless grandpa hasn't eaten ambrosia in 2 months or a meteor hits him while he doesn't have a death flower, no.


David: Hey! That's my shirt!


A quick trip to the dresser and mirror later and we have the teenage Isaac Frohman. Those evil eyebrows had to go.

What's wrong with the evil eyebrows? This is really funny. Probably this is a frivolous comment, but if I post something, then your story shows up in my updates whenever there's a new episode.

[loveSims]

Funny update! The scene with Grim crack me up

It just doesn't fit for someone that doesn't have the Evil trait if you ask me (I gave him Computer Whiz for his teen birthday). Also, I actually like the frivolous comments as that tells me that people are enjoying the story so you don't have to worry about that.

[ratchie]

I love the unique approach you are taking with the story. I also happen to love the Merciless Ming I want to take over the world eyebrows but there again I have a certain fondness for insane blue Sims so what do I know.

[Sportsfan]

How did you invite grim to the party? You aren't using mods right?

I'm just kidding.

[Orange Iguana]

When we last left our family, Grim was invited to a birthday party.


We begin this episode with Isaac having just reached his teenage years.

Isaac: Mom, can I go to China all by myself with no parental supervision whatsoever?
Maricela: Ok
Isaac: Really?
Maricela: Sure


Isaac: (That went a lot smoother than I thought it would.)
Maricela: (Wait a minute, Isaac doesn't know what sarcasm is?)


When Isaac arrived in China, the very first thing he did was put on some new clothes.
Isaac: Can't adventure in street clothes.


Right off the bat, Isaac saw a posting for someone wanting a relic. After ripping the bill off the board and pocketing it, Isaac set out to meet with the client.
Isaac: Greetings, you wanted me to find you a relic, correct?
Abi Yet San: I just need you to go through a tutorial dungeon that you could not possibly fail and get me something that you could get for $10 in a thrift shop.
Isaac: ...
Abi Yet San: Get going!

Now under normal circumstances, I would show Isaac making progress through China's tutorial dungeon but because Isaac had such an easy time doing this, I will be kind and fast forward to the end.


Isaac: The reward better be worth all the time I wasted going through such an easy tomb.


Isaac: I'm back, at least give me a reward for wasting my time for you.
Abi: I'll call VISA and tell them that you can actually pay credit card bills. Now go away.
Isaac: (My clients better not all be like this.)


Isaac's next adventure asked him to enter a room in some dragon cave and describe what it looked like.
Isaac: ...and that's everything that was in that one room. Would you like me to describe what was in the hallway and in the first room on the way?
Li Yuan: No! I don't need to know what kind of floors and walls were in the room, the exact color in hexadecimal, how many pushable statues there were, none of that! Now go get me some platinum!
Isaac: No reward?
Li Yuan: I'll call VISA and tell them that you're not in debt. Now go get me platinum!
Isaac: (I'm starting to notice a pattern here...)


Isaac: This one better be good. All the locals ever do here is make you fetch items in exchange for calling VISA and telling them you aren't worthless.

"Isaac I know you're reading this. Thanks for helping me make that statue, I need you to do something with it. I promise that you'll get something good."

Isaac: Let me guess, he'll call VISA and tell them that I'm awesome.


Isaac: Ok, I took your statue and did everything the visions asked me to, including canceling my VISA and switching to MasterCard. Now this better be good.
Li Yuan: For your reward, I will call VISA and tell them that you never canceled your account. In addition, I will tell them that you're awesome.
Isaac: Aaaand this is the last time I ever do any grunt work for you.


Not wanting to give up his adventures, he decided to give the billboard one last try.
Isaac: Hi, I'm here about the boulder smashing offer you put up and so help me god, if the reward is calling VISA and telling them something positive about me, I am going to scream.
Maya Wang: Oh no no no no, I got much bigger reward in store if you help. There's this item that lets you break boulders. If you find it, you keep it.
Isaac: Keep going
Maya Wang: First you need to get permission from locals.


Unfortunately for Isaac, he spent so long buttering up the shop merchants that his time in China ran out as he was delivering some Lapis Lazuli.
Isaac: (No! I just needed one more day!)


Ethan: And just WHAT were you doing in China all by yourself for three days?
Isaac: ...Convincing the locals to switch to a credit card company other than VISA.

[Sportsfan]

Haha that was a great visa pun! I love this dynasty!

[loveSims]

You put adventures in a whole other light! Very funny update

[Orange Iguana]

When we last left our family, Isaac took a solo teen vacation to China where he tried to convince the locals to switch from Visa to MasterCard.


We begin this chapter with Ethan's adult birthday party. The Frohmen have now come to the realization that the only time the guests care about someone's birthday is if Ethan is the one that throws the party. If David does it, only the family members care. If Isaac does it, he goes overboard with the guests and invites Grim.
Ethan: I really don't have a wish so I'm just going to blow out the candles.
Maricela: Wish for Isaac to know what sarcasm is when I say yes to ridiculous questions.
Ethan: That was your fault.


During the party, Ethan pulled his wife to the side.

Ethan: Hey listen, you know how you've begun sculpting us whenever Isaac and I grow older?
Maricela: Yeah.
Ethan: How would you feel if I asked you to start painting me? Bebe's gone and we need a replacement.
Maricela: Can't you paint yourself?
Ethan: Do you have any idea how hard it is to get a good shot of yourself when you're holding your cell phone in front of you?
Maricela: What if I held your phone, took the photo, then gave you your phone?
Ethan: Impossible, our cell phones are surgically attached to our bodies. Why, you couldn't even get rid of yours even if you tried.
Maricela: How important is it that I paint a portrait of you? On a scale of one to ten?
Ethan: Fifteen.
Maricela: I'll do it if we move out of this house.
Ethan: How about this, if you paint me now and as an elder, I'll give you something really good.
Maricela: ...fine.

[Author's note: I bought another Midlife Crisis for Maricela, ditching Nuturing and Lucky for Artistic and Perfectionist. I also had enough happiness to buy her Extra Creative.]


Isaac: Hey mom, can I go back to China? I just have to convince this one last local to switch to a credit card company not named VISA.
Maricela: Not this time.
Isaac: It'll spite dad for making you do this.
Maricela: Tell you what, if you buy me a vacation home in China so I can move out. You can go.
Isaac: Deal.


Isaac: I hope that boulder smashing offer is still good.
Maricela: What did you say?
Isaac: Bye mom.


Isaac: Now the lady said I had to put this thing inside and the way to smashing boulders would open.


Isaac: An axe? That's the secret to smashing boulders? An axe? Well at least it's not a phone call to VISA.


Isaac: That was easy. Just a bunch of steam traps that only exist to minorly annoy me.
Pangu's Axe: Adventurer...
Isaac: This axe can talk?
Pangu's Axe: Listen closely, the woman who sent you to retrieve me wants to keep me for herself. You were promised something good, were you not?
Isaac: I was told I'd learn to smash boulders.
Pangu's Axe: That is a lie, when you return me, she will call VISA and tell them that you pay your credit card bills.
Isaac: Already happened.
Pangu's Axe: She will call VISA and tell them that you are not in debt.
Isaac: That too.
Pangu's Axe: Did you try cancelling your VISA account?
Isaac: Yes, another guy called them saying that I never did and that I was awesome.
Pangu's Axe: You poor soul... don't turn me in. Keep me, run for it.
Isaac: I have a better idea.


Isaac: I'm back and uh... I found the secret to smashing boulders, which is an axe. However... on the way back, I was ambushed by a bunch of ninjas who wanted the axe. They threw a bunch of boulders at me because they were really strong but I smashed those rocks to pieces thanks to that axe. Afterwards, I got abducted by an army of space cow plants who all wanted me to demonstrate the axe's boulder smashing capabilities. After I secured intergalactic peace for the next three million years, this mythical dragon that breathes thunder then stole the axe and I had to chase it down until eventually some guy sold it at a thrift store for ten bucks.
Maya: I buy boulder smasher at thrift shop for ten bucks?
Isaac: Uh... yeah, can I have my reward now? (I cannot believe she bought it.)
Maya: I call VISA and tell them you intergalactic hero.
Isaac: Great! I'll just get going now. (That axe was right!)


Back at the base camp
Isaac: Hello?
??: Hello, this is VISA, we're looking for an Isaac Frohman.
Isaac: Speaking.
VISA: We have received numerous reports that you can pay your credit card bills, are not in debt, are awesome, and even an intergalactic hero. We at VISA have given you permission to max out your credit card in China and purchase a vacation home in China.
Isaac: Oh that's great because I need to buy a vacation home for my mother.
VISA: Unfortunately, there is an age requirement to buy residential lots in foreign countries. You must be a young adult or older.
Isaac: That's a shame, I have a million dollars burning a hole in my pocket. (Mom's not going to be happy...)
VISA: We are very sorry that you cannot get in trouble with your parents for causing a family financial crisis.


There's nothing left for Isaac to do in China now that he's at VISA level 3 but too young to buy a vacation house so he went home.
Isaac: I still cannot believe I got an axe past customs.
Pangu's Axe: What do you plan on doing with me now that you've freed me?
Isaac: How would you like to be a Frohman?
Pangu's Axe: What is a Frohman?
Isaac: My family name.
Pangu's Axe: I think I would enjoy being part of this "family"


Isaac: Welcome to the family, Pangu Frohman.

[Sportsfan]

So funny!

And taking the axe home is totally unrealistic. He's lucky he didn't get life in jail!

[imaGleek]

Haha, all this VISA stuff is comic gold.

[MoonsAreBlue]

Hahaha, nice! I didn't know you could send teens on vacation by themselves.

[Ricalynn]

Welcome Pangu!  I'm sure you'll find this funny as family as we do!
