"I love Uncle Deagol but I'm so glad he moved out! Do you think Mom and Dad will let me live here in the trailer?"
"What, you don't like rooming with me? I don't snore."
"It's not you, Earwen, it's just that I'm a teenager now, I want my own space."
"Great, if you leave, I'm gonna be stuck with a baby."
"Maybe not. I don't see why the twins can't continue to share a room together."
"Mom's pregnant, dude. We're getting ANOTHER brother or sister."
"WHAT?"
Yup. Blame it on Mungo.
Last chapter Mun and Bebe had twins, Bree and Arathorn. Deagol accomplished his lifetime wish and moved out with his sim-bin girlfriend, Quayle. Paladin moved out with his girlfriend, Pearl, and my simself was rather ill-behaved.
"Awatorn, that is not how you pway wif the pwetty bars!"
"Mmmmmm, it tas diffen depening on whi cowa bar oo hih.."
LOL!
"You named OUR daughter after your ex-girlfriend??"
"How could you not have already known that? I wrote my biggest solo hit after her! Do you even listen to my music?"
"You mean all that high-pitched caterwauling? No thanks, I like having fully functional ears!"
"Lin and Steve are fighting, again. Maybe we should just leave?"
"I'm not ready yet, D. I haven't sold any brownies or cookies!"
"You're a police cadet, Quayle, we don't need the money that badly."
"But my little sales table is so cute!"
"Wat dat noise, Mama?"
"Just your extended family, Legolas. I think it may be time for us to go home."
"*sigh* Again? What is it with these two? Don't pay any attention to them, Galadriel."
Grown up Gloin: *derp*
"Fight? What fight?"
Damn, everybody's at the park today.
This must be how they are still together.
"You two are worse than high school students."
"Ignore her, baby. I'm sure she and Bun only do it in the bed, mostly dressed, with the lights out."
Here's the little girl in question, btw.
"My parents are idiots."
Truth.
Meanwhile, across the street, Bebe finished her massage.
"ARE YOU COMPLETELY STUPID?? Do you think I'm goddamn delusional or something? Do you really think I don't know my OWN CHILDREN?!?!?"
"For the LAST time, NO, he's not my baby! I'm still pregnant you ignoramus! And I don't have any babies at home! Now is someone gonna come get this kid cause I've no idea who he belongs to!!"
Rocky Renoit-Andrews: " Hello? A little sunscreen over here?"
Thank goodness for NRAAS' story progression or else little Rocky would have been struck by lightening by now.
"OW! I think the baby's coming!"
Or you've impaled yourself doing bass yoga.
"I'm sorry to tell you, young lady, but that is not how you play bass."
Eat your pancakes and go poof, Fin.
A few sim hours later and Eldarion is born. Eldarion is a friendly, couch potato who is named after the only son of Aragorn and Arwen.
"Why is the babysitter still here? We got home hours ago?"
"I live in an empty void with no food, plumbing, or video games."
"Mom! Do you have to practice right now? In the kitchen? I'm trying to finish my homework!"
"I don't think she can hear you."
"ARGH!!!!"
I've got Bebe practicing every free second she's got. And, luckily,
Mungo is suddenly a lot more available.
"So ........... um...."
That's Pepsi, he's Gilly's friend.
"It's 6am."
He spent the night in the yard.
"............................. alrighty then."
"I don't trust that bus driver, Gilly."
"Really? Why not?"
"I don't know. She's so ..... vacant looking, like there's nothing behind her eyes."
"I wouldn't worry about it. She gets us to school just fine."
"Eh, I don't need to get to school just fine today."
She takes advantage of her day off by...........
..... doing her homework poolside.
"I didn't finish it last night. Uncle Pal told me that it's very important to get your homework done before going to school."
Eldarion ages up with some gorgeous violet eyes.
"Can I be heir?"
Doubtful. You're too young. If you get dramatically more interesting by your teen birthday, I'll consider you.
What's the matter now, Steve?
"Everyone is staring at me."
Bun: "Don't worry about it, Steve. Everyone still hasn't finished rehashing your fight with Linda in the park."
Daisy: "Disgraceful."
Pal: "I heard you 'kissed' and made up after."
Steve: "I don't know why I come to these parties."
You
"Hey, Mun!"
"Oh, hi Kristin! Uh, look, can you please stay out of the hot tub? At least during the caking?"
"LOL! Oh Mungo, you're so funny!"
"Two cakes! That means two birthdays!!"
Star News Anchor, everyone.
And, apparently, Bebe will be aging up both twins. Way to be a total lazy ass, Mungo.
"What? I've been working, and honing my writing skill. These babies hardly know me."
Linda: "This party sucks. I'm going home to my own lollipop dispenser."
"That simgod woman is being trashy again, isn't she."
Don't turn around, Bebe.
"Mama, am I gonna sparkle and stretch like that?"
"Yes, honey. There's no escaping the disco ball vortex of aging."
Both twins were able to roll for their traits. Arathorn is now an insane, music lover who's also a little eccentric. Which would be really intriguing if I hadn't already had an insane heir, and I'm really leaning toward a female this time.
"That's discrimination!"
Yup.
Bree is a heavy sleeper, who likes to be alone, and gets very excited about stuff.
"Not this hair."
Don't worry, I'm giving you both makeovers.
"Hi, this is Mungo Valinor. I'd like to tender my resignation. ..................... Yes, effective immediately. ....................... No, nothing like that. I want to stay home and get to know my kids a little better. ...................... I understand. Thank you!"
Christina is married to Bella, if anyone's forgotten.
In the interest of Bebe getting her LTW, Mun takes over parenting duties.
"Come on, Eldarion! You can do it!"
Earwen has her birthday.
She's now an animal-loving, easily impressed, excitable, light sleeper.
"It's in my ear! There's cake in my EAR!!!"
"Why does the cake hate me!?!"
Well, you are about to eat it.
"So, they're ALL mine?"
Bun and Liz have their second set of twins, Elrond and Arwen.
Bree: "Wow, Kyle! You look like my great-grandpa Jacques!"
He really does. Let's check his family tree.
Neat that it goes that far back. Those eyes and ears are hanging in there.
"Oh Sherrie......"
"Mom! Just............don't alright. God!"
Gil: "So how's the new job? Do you like working at the spa?"
"Eh, it's okay, I guess. I've never folded so many towels in my life. Are you gonna get a job?"
"Nah. I'd rather play guitar."
*sigh*
Mun's plowing along. Now that he's accomplished his LTW, he's got time to indulge his more neglected trait. He really likes fisihing, so he comes out of "retirement" to become an angler.
Today is a triple birthday event. Eldarion goes first. He gets a cake in the morning while he's well in the green.
He's a friendly, couch potato who likes things done perfectly.
"This house needs a lot of work."
I agree. It's not gonna happen, but you are right.
D and Quayle have little Billy.
"Aunt Linda? Could you move? Your behind is not the birthday view I was hoping for."
"I cannot believe that I agreed to have that man's child, AGAIN. Ugh. At least I get to name this one."
"Aunty, I gotta blow on my cake to kill it before we can eat it, can you please get out of my way?"
"What???"
She just stood there for the entire caking.
Bree is now an excitable loner, who sleeps like a log, and, like Eldarion before her, likes everything to be perfect.
"This house..."
SHUT UP!!!
Arathorn shoots his slim shot at heirship in the foot by rolling equestrian for his trait. NO MORE HORSE WISHES!!!!
"So does that mean that I can't.."
Yes. That's exactly what it means. No you can't. *aggressively deletes horse adoption wish**
"Crap."
"Hey Steve! Congrats on the new baby-on-the-way! Linda told us, sorry you couldn't make it to the party................................ Yeah .............................. So, what's up?"
"Uh, look man, I know Mun's sister is a handful. Are you guys not getting along, again?.............. She spent HOW MUCH at the spa?..................................... HOLY CRAP!! And I thought I went a little overboard over there with the twins and Eldarion!"
"Yeah, I'd say you get to name the baby, again. Go for it, man! And don't ask me out on anymore dates, okay? I don't care how desperate you get."
"He is so needy. WHAT is that noise?"
"FOR FUCK'S SAKE, OTHO!! It's bad enough dealing with the 8 ghosts that are in the yard, I'm not adding more!"
"I'm DYING here! I haven't woohooed in a hundred years!"
"You're already dead!! Forget about it, I'm not bringing Nadia, or anyone else, here from the graveyard!!"
"Really? Orcs? I've never seen any."
"Well, for your sake I hope it stays that way."
Baby number two! And Steve got to name him.
The morning after the party.........
"Come on, Bebe! We're going to miss our flight!"
Now that there are no more babies in the house, Mun is getting his travel wish. He and Bebe are headed to Champs Les Sims for the weekend.
"What do you mean, 'no'?"
No, you may not simply sit in the street and play computer games. You wished to visit a museum, so off you go.
I left Mun to his own devices so I could get Bebe situated. She wished to visit the market, so off she went. This is, pretty much, how she spent the day.
"Alright, motherchucker, let's DO THIS!!"
I go back to check on Mungo at the art museum......
MUNGO!!!!
"Shhhhhh!! Just give me a minute. I'm about to beat my high score!!"
His next wish? To go fishing.
"Okay, there's a lot of bugs here."
Did you get it?
"I did! He's pretty. He looks like cotton candy."
Awesome! I haven't seen one of these this entire game.
"Boy, it sure is beautiful here. ............................ Sun's going down. I guess I ought to be getting back to the hostel."
Back in town...
"No, madame, time does not pass here in Champs Les Sims."
"Well, hello Eveline! It's nice to meet you!"
"It is nice to meet you, too, monsieur!Tell me, are you related to a Beren Valinor?"
"Yes, I am! Beren was my great-grandfather. How do you know of him?"
"Ummm, I think my great-grandmother met him when he came to Champs Les Sims, many many years ago."
"That's right! I forgot that my ancestors have been here before. Cool fun fact, Eveline!"
"Does your family travel often, Mr. Mungo?"
"Sure, we try to. This is my third vacation. I've been to China twice, so my wife and I figured we go to France this time around."
"I am jealous, monsieur. I have never traveled outside of Champs Les Sims."
"Really? Well, you're young. Maybe you'll get to travel when you are older."
"I do not think so. My parents have never traveled either. It doesn't seem like something we are able to do."
"Really? You can't even travel through your school? Like a student exchange program or something?"
"I do not go to school, Mr. Mungo. There is no school here."
"What? That's.......crazy! No school? Man. I had no idea. Tell you what, Eveline, I'm going to go talk to Bebe, my wife. I'm thinking we'll come visit you at your house tomorrow, how does that sound?"
"Wonderful, Mr. Mungo! Tomorrow is my birthday!"
"Great! I'll see you then!"
"I'm telling you Bebe, it's insane! There aren't even any schools! This little Eveline has no real future, here."
"I know, Mun! I never went to school in China. It was sort of fun as a child. You could run around and play all day, ride your bike, go fishing. But then you become an adult and there's nothing for you but to get married, have children, and maybe work as a cashier for the tourists. I was so glad to meet you and go to Sunset Valley."
"Now I have a chance at realizing my own dream, and my children get to go to school, and a good chance at their dreams."
"What do you think of us offering that to Eveline? It's her birthday tomorrow, she'll be a teenager. If we take her as a kind of exchange student, she can go to school, meet new people, have some kind of life. Her great-grandmother knew my great-grandfather, I kind of feel like this is fate."
"I think it's a wonderful idea! We have the room in our home, let's do it! We'll see what her parents say."
"You're the best, Bebe!"
"I married the best!"
I sent Bebe over to do the deed. I honestly don't remember what Mun was doing. Working on a fishing wish is my guess.
"Bonjour!"
"Bonjour!"
WTF is up with the duck lips, Bebe? I guess WA has foreign born sims do that kiss thing when they greet each other.
"What? What is this? Papa? Why do you have hearts over your head??"
Yeah yeah, fucked up attraction system, blahblahblah.
"So, Mr. Fouchier, my husband and I have gotten to know Eveline, she's a lovely girl!"
"Je vous remercie! We think so, too!"
"Is it true that there are no schools here?"
"Oui. I'm afraid that it is true. There have never been any schools here. Our children seem to have no need of them."
"But what kind of future does that leave for them, for Eveline?"
"The same one we all had, I suppose. She'll grow up eventually, maybe get married. If she's lucky she can get a job as a cashier, or maybe even a rare-artifacts merchant. It's not a bad life, Champs Les Sims is a beautiful place to live."
"Yes, of course. But what if she could be more than that? My husband and I would like to bring Eveline back to Sunset Valley with us. She could go to school and be whatever she wishes!"
"Evy? Is this what you want?"
"It is, Papa! I want to travel outside of our village, I want to go to school. I love our family and Champs Les Sims, but I want my world to be bigger than this."
"Well, Eveline, are you ready for this?"
"Oui! Definitely!"
"Do you need to pack?"
"Oh no, madame. I trust that your house will have everything I need."
Coming up next chapter, one kid moves in, another kid moves out, and the whole family moves on. Yes, I thought SV would kick it in this chapter, I was wrong.
