Artie's Lunar Lunacy

[Ricalynn]

Rica: "I didn't think you would ever retire."
Alexander: "I saw my ex-wife die yesterday.  It changes priorities plus it's my little granddaughter's birthday.  I'd like to spend a lot of time with her and working three days a week will get in the way of that."
Rica: "We should probably try to get you remarried too."
Alexander: "I'd like that but Patricia will need to want to too."
Dakota: -coos at all the confetti-


Cheyenne: "You think she made a wish before I blew out the candle?"
Artie: "Who cares about her wish?  I just want mine to come true."
Christin: "Firefly Mindy says that birthday cake wishes are like .. Oh wait. I can't say that out loud there is a child present."


Artie: "What are those sparkles doing to the baby!"
Christin: "The fireflies are making her grow!"
Alexander: "I can't tell.. does she have the Cross eyes?"
Cheyenne: "She definitely has Buzz's hair.  C'mere princess, let's get you matching clothes."


Rica: "Aww.. Look Dakota.. I got you a bunny to play with.."


Rica: "Awww…"


Rica: "Life father, Like Daughter.."
Buzz: "I think she has her mother's nose though.  Hard to tell so far."
Rica: "Yeah a lot of toddlers look alike around here."
Buzz: "Ok sweetie.  It's time to go teach you some things.."


Rica: "First up…Potty Training!  Essential to the every day happiness of the family.."


Cheyenne: "Being a criminal is bad."
Dakota" Crimmy bad."
Cheyenne: "We don't say that to Uncle Artie and Aunt Christin though.  They're the only criminals we like."
Dakota: "Arr-tee bad crimmy."
Rica: "Yeah pretty much."
Cheyenne: "You're not helping."
Rica: "Of course I am. "
Dakota: "Riika nice.  Not Crimmy-nall."
Mr Bigglesworth: "That is a matter of opinion."
Dakota: "White kitty!"
Mr Bigglesworth: "Get away from my tail you heathen!"


Gloria Langerak: "No I'm not in the mood to play chess with you right now."
Gloria's Dog Cairo: -barking- "Get out of my sim's house you stupid reaper.  You can't take her."
Artie: "Come with me to the park then?  Please pretty pretty please.  I'm so close to getting my new title."
Gloria: "Fine if you'll leave me alone and get out of my house!"


Alexander: "Will you be mine again, my sweet?"
Patricia: "Of course,  I was afraid you didn't want to because it took so long for you to ask."
Alexander: "Oh sweetheart - I'm sorry."
Rica: Unfortunate bug as this is as far as they could go in their relationship.  The game wouldn't let me propose or get married again.


Cheyenne: "The Claw has gotcha.. hahaha."
Dakota: "No Mommy… stoooop." -giggles-


Little Nooboo Uno Gnome also had a birthday as he's now a child gnome.


Buzz: -chuckles- "Oh come on Princess.. don't you want to learn how to walk like Daddy."
Dakota: "No."
Rica: "Don't you love it when they learn new words."
Baxtor: "No."
Buzz: "Hmm and here I thought it was Artie's fault she was saying that."


Buzz: "See and you take the brush and dip it into the paint and then you put it to canvas to create anything you want."
Dakota: "Paint pretty pictures like Daddy."
Buzz: "Of course you will."

And where is Artie this past week while the baby learned all her stuff?

He found a space rock worth §23238!

Most importantly he's been stalking people to their homes and then taking them to the park to play chess..

Kara Ansari moved into a house with a chess table so it worked out beautifully in the end..
Artie: "Checkmar!"
Kara: "Blast!"
Artie: "I did it! I did it! I'm a Chess Grand Master!" -does a happy dance-  "In your face woman.  Hah hah haha haha ha. In your face woman." -does a little rap to laughing while he dances-
Kara: "Why I never."
Rica: "That is a bit rude."
Artie: "I can be an immortal now!"
Rica: "No.. you still have one more birthday to go and that's not for another couple of days."


Artie: "Argh! Noo.. Why do I have to be an Elder?!  Just once I'd like to keep my pretty face!"


Artie: "Ok I'm done crying and celebrating at the same time.  I think I'll actually go home and show my wife how much I care."
Rica: "Now that you're not being a brat.. I'd like to say Congrats on finishing everything early this time."
Artie: "Well practice makes perfect and I am perfect."
Rica: -laughs-


Artie: -in a cutesy voice- "Bella. I know we're friends and I like your little flea-bitten butt.  However, if someone doesn't die soon, I'm giving you up for adoption. Ok?  Ok No Hard feelings."
Bella: "Sure.  Blame me for the fact that you married an old woman and she's only got a few days of fertility left.  I see how it is.. "
Rica: "Hey.. you two knock it off!  We're not going to make someone die.  It's against the rules anyway.  Artie.  I have something I want you to do for me."


Artie: "How dare you.. you evil woman!"
Rica: "Get in that hole already!"

Hahaha .... caveman suit!

[KrispyNickyB]

That's what he gets for plotting to kill the cat.

[RainBeau]

That's what he gets for plotting to kill the cat.

I thought he was just plotting to give her up for adoption 

[xFezIsAFreakx]

Best photo for an ending to a chapter ever!

[loveSims]

I hope for Artie's sake he get the cave man suit lol! Dakota is too cute.

[ArianaJade]

Dakota, you are a serious cutie. And wow, well done to Artie for supermaxing logic so quickly. I'd never dare attempt it as a supermax with a founder, and topping his career so quickly, and finding time to bother socialise with people... but I'll give him a big head, won't I?

[Ricalynn]

No Worries - He already had a big head. 


*reaper music sounds*
Artie: "Wait.. what?  I was just joking about someone having to die!"
Mr Bigglesworth: "Hrm.  So this is what that feels like."
Bella: "You no good rotten evil simtard.  Look what you've done."
Artie: -crying- "This isn't my fault you flea-bitten bag of fur!"
Mr Bigglesworth: "Your bloodline must continue Artie.  My son is passed his kitten phase so I'm choosing to do this."


Mark the Reaper: "Hey Big Guy.  Boss says it's time to go back home.  You ready?"
Mr Bigglesworth: "Of course I am.  I'm the one who told her to send you, you ninny.  Now put me down."
Mark: "It's ok to have feelings you know."
Artie: "Hey Mark.. let him have his way.  He likes it when you do that."
Mark: "Hey look what I got.. a shiny new catnip toy.."


Mr Bigglesworth: "Cat… nip… Must.. get .. pink.. mousey."
Mark: -tosses the mouse into the vortex-
Mr Bigglesworth: "Where did it go!" -jumps after it and gets pulled in-
Artie: "Goodbye Old Friend.."
Mr Bigglesworth: "I'll be watching you.."


Mark: "Oh hey Artie.. It always sucks this is the only way to see you again.. The boys and I just wanted to say congrats on doing so well this time around.   The boss put you on Reapervision Channel 48 so one of the TVs in the breakroom has you playing 24/7."
Artie: "I finally get on TV and it's not even somewhere where I can see myself."
Mark: "At least not for a while.  See you guys later.  Artie" -nod of head- "Crosses" -nod of head- "Mrs Grim." -nods his head but gives Artie the thumbs up at the same time then POOF-


Christin: "Artie.. the fireflies told me that when someone in the family goes away that we should fill the gap with a baby of our own."
Artie: "I think I might be up to that task."
Christin: "Good.. Let's make baby glowsticks!"


-lullaby-  She didn't even have to ask twice.


Buzz: "Whoo!  Honey I did it.  I finally maxed out my sculpting skill too."
Cheyenne: "That's good.  Now only 12 more of those ice sculptures before they stop melting."


Artie: "Oh Birthday Cake Oh Birthday Cake.  How I love to eat thee.  Oh Birthday Cake Oh Birthday Cake.. Grant me beauty."
Noela Spector: "Just blow out the candles already.  We got work!"
Frida Amarind: "That's the boss, I think he knows we have work!"
Cheyenne: "Artie.. seriously.. let's go."
Artie: "You people are no fun!"
Rica: "Even I think you're taking too long."


Artie: "AHHHH"
Laughter from everyone!
Rica: "Hahahaha!  Now you're old and old school!"
Artie: "Shut it woman and get me new clothes!"





Christin: "Aww Nooboo."
Rica: "Yay the lullaby didn't lie."
Christin: "The fireflies told me this would happen.  I would meet a man in my favorite color and the last days before I turn old shall be filled with vomiting, back aches and food cravings.  Then the day before my hair turns white - a child of destiny shall come into my life."
Rica: "Oh really?"
Christin: "Why yes of course. "


Rica: "They got the vomiting part right."
Christin: "It's ok.  I didn't like that cake anyway."


Rica: "Well hey there princess.   You're going to have someone to play with soon.  You excited?"
Dakota: "Yay new friend. Look I has a bunny."
Rica: "I see that.  What are you doing in the toybox?"
Dakota: "Daddy doin crummy painting and mommy doing crummy ice."
Rica: -headtilt- "Okies sweetie.  Have fun."


Rica: "Oh see.. that makes a lot more sense now."

[sdhoey]

I don't know how you do it Rica, but Artie is the best. His wife is a keeper. This one is great

[Ricalynn]

Thank you so much!  I like Christin.  She's been fun to play.  I was really getting nervous when the house had 10 and I couldn't fit in another baby with their birthdays so close.  I didn't want Bigglesworth to die but the show must go on right?

[sdhoey]

True, the show must go on. Mr. Bigglesworth will be missed, but he taught his kitten well. Bella will keep artie in line..

[KrispyNickyB]

I love the center painting. It's so ominous it almost makes Artie seem scary.....almost.

[xFezIsAFreakx]

Ahh, how can you do the paintings and photos as well as sculptures? I'm too scared to try anything but paintings in my dynasty, haha! Happy birthday, Artie!

[Ricalynn]

There was a trick to that! Cheyenne came to the house with level 7 photography because she was a paparazzi (they vary from 5 to 10 sometimes) so I had her learn sculpting and do nothing else with the aid of sleeping potions then moodlet manager.  Painting was left to another person to learn Buzz.   He got his painting maxed and supermaxed right before Artie turned adult.  Once you're over the initial rush before the founder turns Adult it's actually easy to keep up!

When we were in Hidden Springs, Artie had four roommates within two days and that covered everything.   Pictures weren't a priority in that one though.   

In other words, I've had lots of practice!

[AdnaanA]

So.... Who's gonna cook ambrosia?
