Artie's Lunar Lunacy

[Juxtaposition]

These are some seriously awesome updates you have put together, I love it!

I love the pictures of Artie and Airica, they seriously make me smile!

[cathyknits]

Your....your *last lolly*? The fiends!

I can only assume revenge is coming.

[NicoleML]

I'm surprised they didn't cotton on sooner - Rica disappears just as Aine makes an appearance (in a way). She's absolutely adorable though, especially when the Grim men are lining up for her lollipops. I'm intrigued to see where this goes.

Airica: "Catch that bandit!  Hi-Ho Goldie away!"
A voice: "I thought it was silver.."
Airica: "Hey!  Who's there!"
Same voice: "Uhh.. no one." -softly- "Whoops."


Artie: "What do you see when you look at me like that?"
Eileen: "Someone who swept me off my feet but won't even bother to ask me to be his girl."
Artie: "I did other things to show you just how much I like you didn't I?"
Eileen: "Yes the flowers and the movie was very nice."


Artie: "Oh hey would you look at that!"
Eileen: "Aww nooboo."


Airica: -does paper-
Eileen: -does paper-
Airica: "Uhh.. tie again.  So why have you been hanging around?"
Eileen: "Well little one, when two people like each other they spend time with one another.."
Airica: "Wait.. who have you been spending time with?"
Eileen: "Your Uncle Artie.."
Airica: "ARTIE!!"


Airica: "Hello.  You have nice eyes and I saw you conjure an apple.  Be my friend and play tag?"
Francisco Dennison: -tagged- "Ok.  Let's go"


Artie plays Rock Paper Growl to try and win.


Airica: "I can feel your eyes.  Don't make me throw the periscope I can pull out of thin air now!"
Voice from before: -snickers-



Artie: "I'm beginning to think you only like me for my butt."
Eileen: "It is a nice butt. "
Artie: "I can live with that."


Airica: "Woohoo!"
Aker: "Not until you're an adult, if I have any say."
Anita: "Honey.. you're wrinkling your dress."
Airica: "Moooom.   It's ok.  I've watched many sims with many skirts.. no such thing as wrinkled outside of fingers in a sauna."
Anita: "How about you go to bed then smartie pants.'
Airica: "I'm not wearing pants.  Weren't we just talking about this."
Aker: "Rica.. don't argue with your Sim Mother.  "
Airica: "You know.. I will find a way to get you for this, people.." -stomps off to her tent-

[Lysita]

Oooh. Who is the mysterious new voice? Very nice, and interesting, update.

[RainBeau]

Uncle Artie? Isn't he her great-great-great-great-grandfather?
And what is Artie doing, having nooboos with random people?! What? He never ceases to surprise me.

[SimBlip]

Lovely update! I like seeing this little Irish chick around.
As for the voice? Well...

[Ricalynn]

Artie: "Hello in there.. How you doing?  You ready to come out and play with Daddy's evil toys?"
Eileen: "Mommy is ready to remove the feet from her ribcage."


Artie: "What was that?  Think of the feet as revenge for the deflating pillow?"
Eileen: "I don't get it."
Airica: "Baby says you pee a lot. "
Aker/Anita: "Bed!"
Airica: "Bah.  I can't wait until I get a moodlet manager of my own!"


The voice returns:  "Is that appropriate for one of your age?"
Airica: "If you mean my body's current life stage, probably not.  However, I've already been through puberty, been married and divorced.  I think I can handle this."
Voice: "Tsk Tsk.  Such attitude for such a little girl.   You'd think you'd appreciate what we did for you.  Giving you another lease on life.  The chance to start over.."
Airica: "You!"
Voice: "Bye bye now."
Airica: "Hmph.  ARTIE!"
Artie: -jumps out of his tent- "What woman!"
Airica: "Someone needs to die we need to get a message through to the other side."
Artie: "And you call me bad.. I'm going back to bed and we can discuss this after I got my rested moodlet."
Airica: -exaperated sigh, goes back to reading 'A Magnetic Attraction'-


Airica: "Good Morning Eileen.. How is the devil spawn doing?"
Eileen: "Well I was being kicked to death until you started talking.  Why don't you keep doing that while I rock in the rocker for a nap."
Airica: "Uhh.. I have school in an hour."
Eileen: "An hour of sleep is all I ask sweetling."


Artie: "Mwahahaha."
Eileen: -gets a little scared- "You sure you know what you're doing with that thing?"
Artie: "I think by now you know I can handle my chainsaw."


Airica: "I never should have reconfigured the house.  But with a little luck.. " -booby traps the sink-


Airica: "Buzz Lightyear.. to the rescue!"
A new voice: "Not exactly."
Airica: "Hey!  The witty commentary is my gig.  Get your own!"
Stranger: "Aww but we used to have so much fun together.."
Airica: -narrows eyes at the sky with hands on hips- "Who.. Are .. You?"
Stranger: "You'll know soon enough."


Artie: "Such a nice night.."
Eileen: "The stars are really shining.."
Airica: -stomps over in astronaut suit- "Artie."
Artie: "Yes dear."
Airica: "Two things.. The voice was back and I can't believe you made that pregnant woman get on the ground like that.  How could you."
Eileen: "Yeah it is starting to hurt a little."


Eileen: "I take that back.. it hurts... a loooot" -contraction-
Artie: "The baby is coming.  The baby is coming!"
Airica: "Go to the hospital already!"
Artie: "Right.. !"


Welcome Kylie Crocker...


... and her sister Lacy Crocker! 


Artie: "What a beautiful little girl you are!  And don't worry sweetie.  Daddy doesn't care that you're a drow like your Mommy.  You just be the most beautiful drow you can be. Ok?" 


Airica: "Juice you say?"
...
Airica: "Ok .. juice it is. One second, monsieur."


Airica: "And as my loyal servants and countrymen.  You will all serve... me!"


Airica: -hears a noise and checks it out- "No such thing as monsters.  No such thing as monsters.."
Voice: "Boo!"


Airica: -forgets she's a grown watcher not a child sim, runs for it- "Mommy!"
Anita: "Rica..? what is it honey?"
Airica: "There were eyes in my tent!"

[Ricalynn]

Artie: "So sweet and cuddly aren't you, Lacy?  You're a very special girl.  Yes you are.  Don't ever forget it."
Yeah it's just another shot of Artie with his new kids.


Amon: "Geez.  A horse owner can't even get a new horse trained without interruptions these days.  "
Samuel: "Hey I'm dying here."
Amon: "Tell me something I don't know.  Whole day gone up in smoke and the new guy stumbled into the pond feature.  Now I'm wet, too."


Amon: "This isn't awkward at all.."


Artie: "Eileen!  C'mon answer the door! What's taking so long?" -peers through window-  "Well hey would you look at that.  That procreation potion worked!"


Less than 24 hours after their birth, both girls aged up from infant to toddler - This is Kylie with Artie's hair but Eileen's everything else...


And this is Lacy who seems to be pure Artie.


Artie: "And one day there might be a nice man or woman that wants to give you a ring.  Snatch it up and hold onto it forever. "
Kylie: "Daddy give Mama ring?"
Artie: "No.. that's a little different."
Kylie: "No."


Amon: "Athena.. everything ok girl?"
Athena: "No.  I'm sorry I brought us half up the crater but the waterfall here interferes with their signal.  I have received a message."
Amon: "This can't be good if we had to come here."
Athena: "No.  It's worse I'm afraid.   The techies have managed to take over in a way that was previously only doable by Rica.  We don't know how they did it but expect them to eventually make themselves known."
Amon: "The voice.. The one Rica has been hearing is one of them."
Athena: "Most likely.  I worry about this latest development and so do the others.  More of the magical are finding their way into the worlds now.  We no longer hide our fur, wings & wands.  We must combat the techies and try to keep the balance in this world and all the others."


Amon: "So what does this mean for the rest of us and my family?"
Athena: "I must join some of the others in a fight to regain control.  There is a void where Rica once was and we can't let them try to fill it."
Amon: "What should I tell the family?"
Athena: "Whatever you do.  The Grim family must complete what's expected of it.  The eighth must be born and must become immortal.  Let nothing stand in it's way. "


Amon: "I will miss you, my friend."
Athena: "I will miss you, too.  Encourage Rica to keep hope.  She is a watcher yes but now she is also of Sim flesh.   We have not forgotten her predicament but she is not our priority.  The priority is reaching the family's goal.  Even if that means the magical joining forces with The Boss."


Athena: "Take care Amon.."
Amon: "Take care Athena"


Athena: "Oh and don't accept any more animals unless you truly know it's source.  They have control now.  Never forget that..."
Amon: "Sheesh.  What is it with unicorns and getting the last word in as an ominous warning?"

[Ricalynn]

Airica: "You know this kids stuff is so boring to watch but it's not half bad when you're doing it yourself. "
Stranger Danger: "You're talking to yourself again."
Airica: "Not if you keep answering me."


Airica: "Oh Artie!"
Artie: "What?!"
Airica: "Come here please!"
Artie: "Why should I?"
Airica: "Because it's the first time you've ever head me say please before you told me to ask you nicely."
Artie: "I can see your logic.. "


Artie: "I'm here.  What do you want?"
Airica: "One second..."







Airica: "Hahahaha" -points & laughs-
Artie: -stomps his feet around- "Grrrr!  Just wait til you get down here."
Airica: "You'll do what?  You were in your bathing suit."
Artie: "That was not an invitation to pour water on me."
Airica: "Are you sure?"
Artie: "Yes!"


Airica: "Oh man.  I miss twizzlers.  And skittles.  And M&Ms." -slides down then yells into the night's sky- "WHY CAN'T SIMS HAVE CANDY! WHY?!" -sniffs- "I want chocolate."


Artie: "Ahh Baby is coming.  Baby is coming."
Apollo: "Ugh.  Not this again. "
Amon: "Go to the hospital already."


This is what I like to call ... giving a little extra.


Everyone say hello to Darron.  He's a witch like Eileen and he's red!



Next Chapter

[Rhoxi]

Aw, welcome to all of Artie's children! Good to see that red gene still going strong. So, do I sense an impending romance for Airica in the air? Also, I love the shots of Airica dumping water onto Artie. Sweet revenge at last!

[samoht04]

Great updates!  The end is nearly on the horizon..

[SimBlip]

"The eighth must be born and must become immortal... Even if that means the magical joining forces with The Boss."
The suspense is near killing me. This is such a great story. 

[sdhoey]

"The eighth must be born and must become immortal... Even if that means the magical joining forces with The Boss."

The Boss, Magical and Artie all together in one room? Oh the watcher help us now!! If the Boss makes Artie nervous, he needs to feel nervous for the techies that have messed with his Rica and his dynasty because the Boss has put too much into this for them to mess it up now.. 

Oh yeah that bucket of water was the best..

[ladyaya]

Artie: "Ahh Baby is coming.  Baby is coming."
Apollo: "Ugh.  Not this again. "
Amon: "Go to the hospital already."

Ahahaha~
Which Grim is reeeeeally teensy in his sleepwear in the background?
Anyways, I adored your update~
You're having so much fun being a sim, aren't you? Especially with your revenge on them for all their grief, even if you have to listen to them for now. xD
