Artie's Lunar Lunacy

[Audren]

Happy birthday, Aker! Nice Batman shirt! 

[ratchie]

Happy birthday Aker generation six and you are finally getting a painter what took you so long. Not that I can say anything my challange to myself was to complete a dynasty and not use any of the traditional dynasty skills. Pretty much managed it too no cooks,fishermen or painters. Had to use gardening and sculpting though.

Somewhere along the way I meant to have Ares or Apollo pick it up and forgot.  I may end up with a fisherman though as Gen 8.  Mainly because it's one of those skills that I can supermax in my sleep but it's all dependent on some other factors.

I love those purple/lilac eyes. I had no idea that gene could be so strong. My founder has them, and now I dare to entertain some hope that this colour will be passed through.
Mm, the boss passing a message to you through Aker was very creepy. Especially, because Aker, who didn't learn to talk yet, could deliver the words in all clarity.
Oh, Reka/Aker/Rica... I would have never picked up on that.
Congratulations to Amon on supermaxing and to Prim for reaching the top of her career. Oh, and three cheers for Aker's birthday too!

[Ricalynn]

Oh, Reka/Aker/Rica... I would have never picked up on that.

Aker's name was never supposed to be a reflection of mine.  However, when he got the doll a plan had formed and I needed to name it.  Without thinking at all I gave it the backwards version of his name.  My sister is the one who started to give me crap for the name being so close to mine.  That and she finds the dolls slightly creepy anyway.

[Ricalynn]

As with all of these weird dolls, when their friend ages so do they. 


Aker: "Reka! It was your birthday, too?  But you look different now."
Reka: "That's because I'm more than just a doll now that you've proven our friendship to be true."
Aker: "That's so awesome!"
Reka: "There's only one thing.  You're the only one who can see me anymore."
Aker: "Why?"
Reka: "Because that is how it works.  Unless you have access to a special potion."
Aker: "Artie knows potions.  I bet he knows the one."
Reka: "Really?  You would think about making me real?"
Aker: "We're best friends!"


Aker: "Dad have you ever heard of imaginary friends?"
Amon: "Yes. I used to have one."
Aker: "Really? I've got one too."
Amon: "That's good but don't forget to make real friends."
Aker: "That's just it Dad.  I want to make her real."
Amon: "That's not possible."
Aker: "Reka told me how lean down here and I'll tell you."
-whispering-


Prim: "Take this."
Artie: "Hello to you too, Princess."
Prim: "Just do it.  Down the hatch let's go."
Artie: "What's it going to do to me?"
Prim: "Nothing it's just a pill."


Prim: "There ya go big guy.  All the way.  The whole thing.  Now swallow... swallow."
Artie: -gulp- "Boy you're pushy."


Artie: "Do you smell something?"
Prim: "Nope. I think I need to be somewhere else though."
Artie: -sniff, sniff, feels the burn- "MY BUTT.  MY BEAUTIFUL BUTT.  Why do you keep catching me on fire woman?"
Rica: -laughing so hard she can't breathe- "Not.. me"


Amon: "Good night Roamer.  I'll see you tomorrow."
Roamer: "Actually, it's time for us to say the final goodbye."
Amon: "What?"


Roamer: "I have done my part and it is time to leave.  I must rejoin my people in the wilds.  You have my daughter.  Keep her safe and she will keep your family safe. "
Amon: "I will never forget you, old friend."


Roamer: "Do not forget what I have said Amon of the Grims, Fifth of his clan. "
Amon: "I won't!"
Roamer: "See that you don't or we are all doomed."


Roamer: "Beware the doll."


Aker: "Look!  I found this is Grampa Angus' chest from when he was a kid."
Reka: "That's the potion!"
Aker: "You going to take it or just sniff it?"
Reka: "Here goes nothing.  Bottoms Up."


Reka: "No one ever mentioned all this!"
Aker: "You're the one who wanted this.  Suck it up.  I'm sure it'll be over in a second."
Rica: "Wait.. what's happening over here?"


Rica: "Oh my.. watcher... ARTIE!"
Aker: "Hey you never mentioned you were a girl!"
Reka: "Of course I'm a girl silly."
Artie: "What in your name is that, woman?"
Rica: "Aker made his doll real."
Artie: "You're supposed to be watching us."
Rica: "I was watching you!"
Artie: "Not an excuse!"
Rica: "What do I do?"
Artie: "We have to keep it now.  It's in the rules.  You.. go get new clothes."
Rica: "Ugh another pink wearer... let's go."




Despite the pink - I had a lot of fun making her clothes.  Just reminds me that the next one is a little girl and I can't wait.


Reka: "Why doesn't anyone ever mention that there's homework?"
Aker: "They don't tell you if you're born real either.. What's number 6?"
Reka: "I said 43.  It's always 43."
Rica: "Not true.  Work it out Aker.  You're a smart kid.  Then I'll let you paint."
Aker: "Awesome!"


Next Chapter

[sdhoey]

Prim: "Take this."
Artie: "Hello to you too, Princess."
Prim: "Just do it.  Down the hatch let's go."
Artie: "What's it going to do to me?"
Prim: "Nothing it's just a pill."



Artie: "Do you smell something?"
Prim: "Nope. I think I need to be somewhere else though."
Artie: -sniff, sniff, feels the burn- "MY BUTT.  MY BEAUTIFUL BUTT.  Why do you keep catching me on fire woman?"
Rica: -laughing so hard she can't breathe- "Not.. me"

This was too funny!! My 8yr old asked my what was so funny!! You would think by now that company would have "fixed" that pill. LOL

[Dextra2]

Well, if Romer didn't sat to beware the doll, I would said that there might be a futer Ms. Grim in this chapter. But since he did say it: Beware the doll Aker!!!

[Swirl-Girl]

Maybe he means Girl Doll Dressed, Rica, Have you been contaminated! Probably not, though if you have, Good luck with it.

[Juxtaposition]

Ah the joys of magically flammable pharmaceuticals, always good for a laugh!

Reka is very pretty, I especially love the hair you picked out for her, very whimsical.

[SimBlip]

Roamer: "... or we're all doomed. Beware of the doll!"
Bright, bright light and chills running down my spine.

[Rhoxi]

Oh, bah! When you said this was the first generation you didn't have a spouse planned for and then you showed the picture of Aker and his doll, I was worried. Then you went ahead and did it! You made one of those creepy dolls real! Oh, Rica. Be careful. Don't you know? They're . . . EVIL! Wait, I guess that fits perfectly with your dynasty! Never mind! 

[RainBeau]

Normally I'm pleased when they make a doll real in a dynasty, but you're making it all creepy, Rica, why?

[Ricalynn]

I have a serious history with imaginary friends that didn't end well the first time around.  It goes back to my first decadynasty but then I guess if it's not obvious, the only people who don't have an agenda in the Grim file seems to be the poor oblivious townies.   Now that we're in the later generations there is going to be a lot going on because the forum isn't the only group of people interested in whether or not Artie will complete the challenge.

Also - it's hard to say if Reka is the doll he was talking about.  I'm not telling if she is though!

[Ricalynn]

This is what it looks like when a whole group of people try to beat down a burglar.  Brave Apollo and Tama descendants Angus & Amon pull a toe tapping contest to decide who gets to take care of Mr. Rude Stickyfingers.


And Angus won!  Thanks to his celebrity he became friends with the guy right before kicking his butt.


Rica: "I like it.  Not sure why but I do."
Aker: "Thanks.  Can I go catch a bug now?"
Rica: "Sure why not.  But then it's back to painting."
Aker: "Ugh.  I like painting but that's all we do!"
Rica: "It'll get better. I promise.  If they hadn't revoked our traveling rites, we'd totally be there instead of here buddy.  Sorry."


Aker: "I'm just gonna..."
Rica: "My god that is the biggest water beetle I've ever seen in my life! Make sure it doesn't bite off your foot."


Rica: "You ok?"
Apollo: "Fine why?"
Rica: "I think you broke something.  Prim!"


Rica: "You guys are doing so good.  You've even both got A's in school without having to be tutored.  Color me impressed."
Aker: "I know exactly what color that is.  Get closer."
Rica: "It's an expression."
Reka: "That's a weird expression."
Rica: "No back talk or I take away playtime."


Reka: "So what does your mom do exactly as a doctor?"
Aker: "She makes it so hurt people aren't hurt anymore or sick people get better."
Reka: "That's not what I thought it would be."
Aker: "What else would a doctor be?"


Rica: "Hey!  Why are there hearts in the haystack!  There are children that live here!"


Apparently those children were distracted by making funny photos.  They are just so darned cute.


Rica: "How does it feel to be a leader of the free world?"
Amon: "Well the plan seems to be falling into place but otherwise, I'm just not sure."
Rica: "I think it hasn't hit you yet.  Just wait.  You'll like the idea of all that power eventually."


Yes it's another painting shot.  What do you think these two did while they waited for the next birthdays?  This shows how coordinated her facepaint and hair is to her outfit too.


Prim: "I swear on the watcher.  Who decided today should be a clinic and Simfest?"


Prim: -kicks- "And now how do you feel?"
Burning Vampire: "Like I need to go inside."
Prim: "Good because the smell is getting pretty bad.  I'll send you my bill."
Burning Vampire: "But it's a free clinic."
Prim: "I meant my dry cleaning bill.  You're flaking onto my uniform.  Now shoo."


A pirate and a fairy meet up at the park... No wait.  I'll quit while I'm ahead.


Aker: "Attention Attention! I have a royal proclamation!."
Rica: "This should be good."
Reka: "He can't hear you.  He's listening to a tabcast."
Rica: "Ahh. "


Amon: "C'mere my little crisped beauty."
Prim: "Amon.. I need to shower before the guests arrive."
Amon: "I know but I wanted to let you know that even though our son's birthday is after midnight.  I think you're the most beautiful woman in all the worlds."
Prim: "You know.. you're not exactly the ugly Grim yourself."


Reka: -makes a secret wish-
Artie: "Oh come on kids.  They're just cakes.  It's not like they'll catch on fire.  I made sure of that ages ago."
Aker: "I don't have a wish picked out."
Rica: "You'll think of something as soon as you get closer to the cake."


Rica: "Aww my fairy tried to become a pirate."
Reka: "Not funny."
Rica: "Says you."


Rica: "You know you get cuter with every birthday.  So much like your father and mother."
Aker: "Why thank you but please give me a different haircut."
Rica: "I think I have just the thing."
Aker: "Ladies first."
Rica: "Oh ok... Reka.. you're up!"
