The CrumpleSteel DecaDynasty: COMPLETED 11/11/13

[ArianaJade]

That bunny song should be in the charts.

Iris' singing voice probably should never be inflicted on the world, but I'd love to see that. *plots*

Iris: Rock-a-bye bunny, on the tree tops...

Nathaniel: Bunnies don't go up trees. Can't we play dolls?

Iris: It's 3am. Please sleep.

Nathaniel: No!

Yep, that's parenthood in a nutshell!   

That part is dedicated to my friend who's just had a baby and I don't think has slept more than an hour a night since! Doesn't make me look forward to having kids...

Great shot of Iris holding Nathaniel in the rocker -- the "I have no expression on my face because I'm going to start screaming if he doesn't go to sleep right away" look.

Exactly. Poor Iris. Nathaniel just wouldn't go on the same sleeping schedule as everyone else wanted to be on.

What a funny household they are!
And Nathaniel is too cute: Nathaniel: Help! Daddy! I can't do this! I've forgotten what I do with my leg! Awww!!
But the thing with the paparazzis is strange, maybe the game generates all of them due to their tendency to die from one second to another? To bes ure that there will be all the time one around the house?

He's adorable isn't he? I think it must be something like that, I've had lots of games where I've had two paparazzi floating around the lot. But this file seems to be generating really weird amounts of them!

[RainBeau]

So Nathaniel knows that his Daddy is not his Mummy's wife. Well that's going to get sticky.

Large and in Charge



Alys: So, be my friend?

Jenni: Oh come on. I know the dynasty rules. The ten best friends have to be in place at moving time and you won't be around then.

Mean.



In the background of the last picture you can see what the firefighters were doing while all the fires hit Twinbrook. Staring at brick walls. How useless.

Firefighter: Has anyone seen my pager?



Alys: For alchemy!

Robert Castor: For what?



Robert: Actually, this weight kinda suits me. I might get that job as Santa Claus after all.



Scout Sargeant: How am I supposed to chase criminals now?



Jeffery: I either love you or hate you right now.

Alys: Let's go for hate because you're a teen and it'd be really quite weird if you loved me.



Just so this update doesn't start to entirely consist of things Alys did, lets include some of the things Alys helped Nathaniel do, like have a birthday.

Iris: Maybe I'll get some sleep now.



Nathaniel: I'm going to blow them out all by myself!

Alys: Of course you will dear!

Iris: Liars.



Nathaniel: Do I have hair? Where's my hair?

Iris: Hahahaha you have a bowl cut! Bowl cut!

Lack of sleep makes Iris really quite mean.



He becomes an Angler. That may or may not give you a clue as to his supermax skill.

Iris: Surprised he can see any fish with that hair over his eyes.



He's basically a male Iris.

Alys: I can't see anything of myself in him.

Umm. Moving swiftly on...



He immediately heads off to get a class in fishing. I've never really been sure what they can teach you in a grocery store about fishing. I don't think bait works on frozen fish.



Nathaniel: I'm bored.

No you're not.

Nathaniel: Yes I am. There's no fish. This is really really boring!

You should probably learn to like it because you don't have a choice. On the plus side, you won't really be doing it until you become a Young Adult so I can make sure you get the skill opportunities.



Justin: A is for apple. B is for banana.

Nathaniel: You're not going to be my teacher are you?

Justin: No.

Nathaniel: Good. You're embarrassing!

Justin: What did I do?!

You're his father. That's all it takes.



Iris becomes an elder.



We went with her original hair colour again.

[RainBeau]

Wow, Nathaniel is adorable, and Alys is either clueless or senile. I like Nathaniel's hair.

[azokka361]

Nathaniel is so adorable! Looks like Kris Sekemoto's genes have left the family.

Iris is a seriously gorgeous elder.

[bubbles]

Is Iris and elder already? How time flies! Wish Nathaniel good luck on his SuperMax!

[molly1231]

Iris looks good in that hair color and is that her imaginary freind.

[Gogowars329]

Iris is looking rather nice with a new hair colour. Nathaniel does look like a male Iris! I really hope that Alys does figure out Nathaniel isnt really her son. Can't wait to fund out about the mysterious looking imaginary friend.

[Snufflesxx]

Looking good Nathaniel! I hope his imaginary friend becomes real because there is a severe lack of children in this generation! Well, compared to the number of kids in Iris' generation...

[ArianaJade]

Wow, Nathaniel is adorable, and Alys is either clueless or senile. I like Nathaniel's hair.

I'm not sure which, but she's definitely one of those things. I like his hair too, especially the fact that it's blue and spiky.

Nathaniel is so adorable! Looks like Kris Sekemoto's genes have left the family.

Iris is a seriously gorgeous elder.

Yep, I think they have! We'd notice if they hadn't, it's not like they were particularly subtle genes. And I agree with you about Iris.

Is Iris and elder already? How time flies! Wish Nathaniel good luck on his SuperMax!

Yep, it crept up on me too! Nate will want all the good luck he can get

Iris looks good in that hair color and is that her imaginary freind.

It's not Iris' IF, she never got one for some reason. Its one of the reasons she couldn't supermax photography.

He really does! Kinda scary really. She doesn't seem to have figured it out so far, but that's just going on the fact she's never accused Iris of cheating.

Looking good Nathaniel! I hope his imaginary friend becomes real because there is a severe lack of children in this generation! Well, compared to the number of kids in Iris' generation...

I think I went slightly over-the-top on kids last generation! So, sorry that there won't be as many this time round. I considered trying to have more this gen, but thought it'd probably drive me totally insane.

Becoming Less Imaginary



Iris: This is my elbow. Have you met my elbow? He says he's pleased to meet you.

Nathaniel: Umm. Hi mummy's elbow.

Iris: He's a big celebrity. Want a picture with him?

Nathaniel: Mummy, I think you're going crazy.

Going? She went crazy a long time ago, love.



Nathaniel: So then she started arguing with her elbow about who of them was the biggest celebrity. And she says I'm mad because I believe I have a friend called Laura.

Laura: We could prove that you're not.

Nathaniel: How?

Laura: You need to steal the orange potion from your dad's chemistry table.



Laura: Are you sure you stole the right one?



Laura: Panic over.

Nathaniel: You look different to how I imagined you.

Your imaginary friend looks different to how you imagined her. Right.



Laura is a supernatural fan, couch potato and a virtuoso. Her favourite colour is lime green, but I think the IF outfits are awesome on child sims and so she's going to be staying in her dress for now.



Laura: Look out below! Dragons are invading! Batten down the hatches!



Nathaniel: Worse! I can see PARENTS coming!

Laura: Activate the defences!

Nathaniel: Attack!

Justin: Children, teatime!



Alys: Hang on a minute. Iris had a kid. I can't be the father, cuz I'm not a man. So who is?

Iris: She can't see me. I'm in a disguise.

Alys: Iris, I can see it's you, and I'm not happy.

Iris: Not happy is better than angry.

Weirdly Alys didn't accus Iris of cheating but she still got the betrayed moodlet.



Laura: So you have two mummies and a daddy?

Nathaniel: Yeah. It's weird.

Laura: I have no mummies or daddies. That's weirder.

Nathaniel: I'll share. You can have Mummy Iris.

Laura: No thanks.



Laura: Vroom. Vroom vroom vroom!

Iris: I think you'll find cars go oink.

Laura: *ignores Iris*



Laura: What's school like?

Nathaniel: Boring. And confusing.

Laura: More confusing than Iris?

Nathaniel: No. Nothing's that confusing.



Alys: Iris, I think I've been harsh. We both had the wish to have a child, so you were just doing what you could to make that happen for us. I just wish we could have talked about it.

We can add marriage reconciliation to the list of sim things to happen in a bathroom now. Also, note that Iris is actually wearing her everyday wear!

Iris: I couldn't talk about it, I was looking for a snorkel.

Alys: A snorkel?

Iris: Sharks will keep supremacy over the underwater realms if we can't snorkel!



Alys: I love you, Iris. Even if you're paranoid.

Iris: *muffled* It's not paranoia, they really are out to get us!



Laura: If I lift two 1kg dumbbells, how much will I be lifting?

Nathaniel: 1... + 1... = ... um. Looks like a window to me.

Laura: So I'll be lifting a window. Awesome.



Iris: Surprise!



In dynasty requirements news, Iris has completed the collection. Sculptures, which will sit around and merrily increase in value.



And because we haven't seen Justin yet this chapter, here he is reading a work opportunity book and sensibly keeping out of the way.

[azokka361]

Okay . . . so Iris is calling Nathaniel bonkers, because he thinks he has an imaginary friend . . . which Iris's grandma (?) October also had and made real . . . and Mr. Hand agrees.

What is happening to the world?

[Gogowars329]

I agree with Laura, I wouldn't choose to have Iris...Although Alys is also pretty crazy if she only just realised she wasn't the father of Nathaniel...
