Artie's Lunar Lunacy

[loveSims]

Congrats with the wedding! We are all very curious to see if the next nooboo will be red.

[RainBeau]

Okay, that was pretty soon
Yay!
As much as I hate to say it--go ahead and die now, Jules.

[fanofaband]

Yay Apollo and Tama!

By the way, the last picture is great, if only because it makes me think it's Artie in a dress.

[Gogowars329]

Well, I've missed quite a bit. Let's start from when I left...

Congrats on the beautiful wedding photos of Ares and Adrianna! R.I.P Buzz and Dakota Cross and Bubba! Welcome little Saffron. She looks really sweet. Congrats on Apollo and Tama's wedding. I could see their marriage as soon as Apollo was born.

[fansidoodle]

Congratulations Apollo and Tama! Apollo is so handsome and Saffron is hilarious.

[Ricalynn]

Ares: "Good to see you again Sofia.  I just got back from Egypt and I did that jogging you had mentioned.  It was great."
Sofia: "Good good.  Did you do anything else while you were away?"
Ares: "Actually my son got married."
Sofia: "That's great news! Congratulations."
Ares: "Thank you Thank you.  I just wish I could see my grandchildren sooner rather than later."
Sofia: "Oh no.  Are you at the housing limit?"
Ares: "Yeah.  The father of the bride, my wife and another family friend are all still hanging around. "
Sofia: "I could take care of him for you.  Your father is a very close friend."
Ares: "No No.  Can't do that.  Family rule or something."
Sofia: "That's too bad."
Ares: "I know.  I'm sorry."


Rica: "You have the worst luck when it comes to those coffins.  I think I'll put these in the inventory."
Ares: "What?  Not in my own personal egypt exhibit?"
Rica: "Watcher No!  Before you know it all the ghosts will be mummies too from sleeping in the things."


Apollo: "Stupid always breaking toilets. " -grumblegurgle- "Can't make unbreakable my red tooshie." -grumble-
Rica: "Well crankypants I have good news for you."
Apollo: "What's that?"
Rica: "That's the last toilet you'll ever have to plunge.  It's the last thing we needed for your handiness challenges.  You're supermaxed!"
Apollo: "That is good news! Whoo.  Now what?"
Rica: "I have no idea."


Rica: "Ahh! It's the terrible T-Rex Saffron!"
Saffron: "Rawr!"
Rica: Poor child is almost supermaxed in painting already and almost done with photography to finish the LTW she already spawned.  So she gets to do what few non-Grim children get to around here.


Tama: "Hey that's my first masterpiece."
Rica: "What is it?"
Tama: "Hey where did it go?"
Rica: "What was it?"
Tama: "A Magical Gnome of Sculpting."


Rica: "I found it!" -does this in a way that should make people remember the Land Before Time cartoon movie and the tricerotops Sarah-


Buzz: "Ugh how can you sit there and play with that thing.  There are perfetly good sprinklers outside!"
Alexander: "Woohoo! I just ran that guy over!"


Rica: -Curious lilt- "What are you dooo-In?"
Apollo: "Using Tama's MultiTab."
Rica: "Why?" -impersonates nephew-
Apollo: "To order a book."
Rica: "Why?"
Apollo: "To read it."
Rica: "Why?"
Apollo: "Woman."
Rica: "Little cherry blossom pie cutie patootie thing you?"
Apollo: -receives book and goes away.-
Rica: "Hey come back."


Rica: "Found you! Whatcha reeeea-din?"
Apollo: "A booook."
Rica: "What kind of booook?"
Apollo: "I can't do this anymore.  It's an inventing book.  I figure if mom can do it so can I."
Rica: "Ahh .. okeetay."


Barkley: "I guess this means it's my time?"
Ares: "Hey.  You can't have him.  That's my best friend ever."
Barkley: "I'll be back.  Keep that stick ready for me ok?"
Ares: -sniffs- "Ok."
Rica: -sniffs- "47.  You're only 47.  You could have stayed longer you know."


Beowulf: -barks a lot-
Reaper: "It's ok little guy.  He's just going away physically.  You can have his spirit in 3 to 10 days depending on how quick the boss gets done with him."


Now Saffron's supermaxed with this beauty.  Just in time for her birthday too.


Rica: "Whoo!  Happy Birthday whoo! Tama why are you in your school robes?"
Tama: "I don't know.  For some reason this is my new work uniform."
Rica: "Oh we're getting that changed."


Saffron: "So how bad is it?"
Rica: "Not too bad.  I don't think you're the braids type though."
Saffron: "Most certainly not."


No this girl is the one of the prettiest sims I've ever had.  She's rocking pink for herself and some lime for her mom.


Of course it's not just Saffron's birthday.
Rica: "Happy Birthday Beowulf!"
Beowulf: -makes as much noise as possible-


Apollo: "What a pretty puppy you are.  Let's get you a collar hmm?"
Rica: "Hey don't do anything drastic!"
Saffron: "Oh hi Puppy!  Whoops!" -drops paint on the dog- "My bad."





Rica: "So hey what book is that?"
Saffron: "It's one Apollo brought back from the future."
Rica: -gets nervous-  "Which one?"
Saffron: "The one he just brought back.  He said it was a great read."
Rica: "Which one was that again?"
Saffron: "You know 'Signs You're A Clone'."
Rica:  "APOLLO!"

Whew! I finally got caught up to date with the Grims. I love your story, Rica! And the adorable multi-colored dogs! Gah, the cuteness!

*crosses fingers that the red gene will continue*

[Gogowars329]

Beowulf looks totally awesome! That dog just screams out 'This is what the Grims do to their pets, colour them for amusement...'

I can agree with Saffron being the prettiest sim ever!

[kent91blaze]

Saffron is really pretty and Beowulf really looks like someone drops paint on it.

Kent

[lvrugger]

I love your stories Rica!
If your comment about the Sarcophagi of the Kings is they are all cursed - an evil sim will only construct cursed ones and a good sim will only construct blessed ones.

[AdnaanA]

Great update, Saffron looks sooo pretty

[Ricalynn]

I love your stories Rica!

Thank you!

And that makes so much sense.  Well I guess I'm going to have to get a spare to put them together next time!  In case no one noticed, Artie's line are all evil and insane this time around so I only have to think of three traits for LTW/supermax.

Kent

Thanks Kent.  Yeah there is a lot of fun to be had when it comes to making  the new pet coats.  I'll worry about Pet genetics in another story since the Grims can't leave their pets alone.  Just wait til you guys see the next generation of Bigglesworth.

Thank you Gogo - it's good to see you amongst the crowd again.  I was worried that Saffron would remind me of Shantel but she doesn't.  Even though she's a clone of Rosemary, she looks completely different in a way and I think she's gorgeous.

Thanks for reading Rhoxi!   Don't hurt yourself by keeping those fingers crossed too long.  Generation 4's first update isn't far off!

Also a big thank you to all of my other non commenting readers.  I've hit over 10,000 views and I just can't believe it.  Thank you very much. 

[ratchie]

Saffron is stunning.Macaw says to say hello,I have pointed out to him that as far as the forum is aware he is just a toddler at the moment but he wants Saffron to know that he is all grown up and available for dates and star watching at anytime.

Rachel

[Ricalynn]

Thanks Rachel.   Saffron is available at this current moment for flirtings and anything else Mac has planned.   We'll see how long that lasts though.  I can't wait to see what he looks like but after making you guys wait some I guess I can be patient heh.

On to the show!




Despite having paint dumped on him, Beowful still chose Saffron for his BFF. 
Saffron: "That's a good puppy.  So smart knowing all those tricks already."
Beowulf: -barks- "I come from a long line of smart... er.. animals."
Saffron: "It's ok buddy.  I'm not much of a cat person so it's ok you're a dog in my book."


Jules: "OW!"
Rica: -snickers- "That's what you get for deciding to randomly play with the bird you've never even looked at before.  He's not nice."
Jules: "Apparently."


Rica: "Silly Bigglesworths.  Always coming back to the house to sleep."


Rica: "Baxtor... no."
Baxtor: "Aww but it looks like so much fun."
Rica: "Nooo. "


Rica: "You didn't do enough of that while you were alive that you have to do it while  you're dead too?"
Dakota: "What?  I like sculpting.  It's fun."


Apollo: "Whew.  That took forever."
Rica: "What did ?"
Apollo: "Reaching level 10 in athletics.  I don't know why they don't make a tabcast about it."
Rica: "Because not everything can be done with a tabcast and I still wouldn't have let you!"
Apollo: "Why not?!"
Rica: "Because the military needs you to actually fit in the planes."
Apollo: "Oh.. good point."


Jules: "Why do I 'ave to do zis?"
Rica: "Because you're the one who made the holes."
Jules: "Oui but I am not za one goink into ze 'oles so why am I za one fillink ze 'oles?"
Rica: "Because you made the holes.  Really it's simple.  Don't make me find a french translator."
Jules: "Oy."


Rica: "Look at you stealing your mom's workbench."
Apollo: "She said I could when I showed her the book I bought. I just had to promise not to change it's colors."
Rica: "Fair enough. "


A partially pink girl and her partially pink dog take a walk in the partially pink air.  I hate myself for liking a particially pink picture.


Rica: "Hey your first butt fire." -giggles-
Apollo: "Shuuuuush!" -splash-
Rica: "Now you know why there is a dive well in the middle of the yard."

Around 12 hours later..

Tama: "Ahhh!"
Rica: "Wow you too!  Hurry Hurry! The dive well is over there princess."


Apollo: "Goodbye Dodo.  Enjoy your freedom!"
Rica: "Letting him go?"
Apollo: "Tama realized that birds die like cats and dogs and she said she couldn't handle it so we had to set them both free."
Rica: "Or she realized that no one had fed the birds in a day and said go set them free."
Apollo: "No I'm going with my story."


Adrianna: -gasp- "That was soo cool!"
Rica: "Umm.. Oh hey you got the space suit back."
Adrianna: "Yeah and I met my simbot son's descendants.  We had a nice time until they tried to feed me something green and gelatinous."
Rica: "Nice.   OK let's go recolor this real quick for you."



Rica: "Wait just a minute!"
Adrianna: "Hello."
Rica: "Why didn't you tell me you got a cavewoman suit?"
Adrianna: "Because I thought if I told you, you'd make me start filling the holes like Jules."
Rica: "Oh no.  That's still his job.  Let's go get you fixed up again."
Adrianna: "Ok!"


Rica: -dances-  I got a cavelady suit.  I got a cavelady suit.  I got a cavelady suit. Hey Hey hey hey!

Congrats on your cavelady suit! I don't think I've ever gotten one.
