"Hi, this is Mungo Valinor, the current heir of this challange. I'm calling to see to whom I should speak regarding getting out of this legacy. I'm tired of living in what can best be described as some kind of blue, mental asylum. Oh, and it's haunted................................ Hmhmmmmmm......................................................... Okay..........................................................I see."
"How long? ..................... Well, if that's the best you can do..................... Okay........Thank you!"
What did they say?
"Nothing. You'll find out."
Alrighty then. Last chapter ushered in generation eight in the forms of Gilraen and Earwen. Daisy accomplished her lifetime wish and moved out with her dogs, Fili and Kili. Deagol is a young adult still living at home so I can get points for his lifetime wish. Paladin, the last of generation seven, is still a teenager, hoping to score himself a girlfriend.
I think we can do this.
"I'm so glad you agreed to go out with me, Pearl. I've been wanting to ask you out for ages!"
"Aw, thanks, Pal! I'm so happy you did! Although, did you have to bring your dad?"
"I didn't! I swear! He just showed up here!"
Don't mind your father. He was out trying to be friends with Quentin and decided to wine and dine him. There's only two restaurants in town so the odds were not in your favor, Pal.
"You know, I'm really hungry, too."
Dammit, Pearl! Work with me for just one minute, okay? You think Pal is flirty, we are almost there.
Bingo!! NOW you can eat!!
*a sim hour later*
"Do I have to go home? Dad's still here! I can stay past curfew."
No, now he wants to be Best Friends with Quentin. You are tired, you have school tomorrow, and who knows how long this is going to take. Go home!
"Ugh, fine."
I swear no sooner did Pal hail a cab when.................
Quentin decides to be the bane of my existence.
The next day both Bebe and Gil have birthdays.
"Dammit, Deagol!! Get out of my way!"
"Heh-heh. Sorry sis. Didn't mean to horn-block you!"
Quentin came to the party and is in the back boo-hooing over the death of his wife, the one that kicked his ass at the park two chapters ago.
"Ugh, gawd! If that dipshit misses his wife so much maybe he should just JOIN her!!"
Thanks Liv. Thanks for the jinx.
Bun: "I thought this was supposed to be a birthday party. I'm not dressed for a funeral."
Meanwhile, Mun is annoyed with Daisy for I don't even know what.
"LOL! Another loser drops dead at a Valinor birthday party! So lame!"
My simself, fashionably late and less fashionably rude.
"A death at a double birthday party? You guys are on a roll!"
Shut up and get him out of here!
"The only way this could be better is if Gil were the one growing up instead of Bebe. Then you wouldn't know what to do with the camera. But since it's Bebe, nobody gives a shit."
Just get your ass in the hot tub, like you always do, and STFU!!
"Also, I think I broke my arm."
"Oh dear. I don't like it when people die. This is not a nice party."
Aw, Kili is all grown up. Sorry, pup.
"Well Grim, I don't want to cause a bigger scene. My only regret is that Mungo and I are only good friends. Oh well!"
"Oh yeah, look at that. LOL! So much for that wish!"
"What in the world is wrong with this woman?"
"Oh shove it, Bebe! I'm gonna show this horn a DAMN good time!"
My simself, classing up my games since 2013.
Birthday derpin'!
"Are you kidding me? I have the exact same haircut!"
She now loves music, tv, and tripping over every little thing.
"Seriously, Dad. WHY do I have to have the same haircut I had as a baby, AND wear this ridiculous outfit?"
"Sorry, Gilly! I really don't have much say in the matter."
"Can't you wish for me to get a new look?"
"Uhhhhh, that doesn't seem to be in the file. Maybe if I were in the stylist career."
"This sucks."
Don't worry about Gilly. Aside from her hair and that kick-ass dress, she's got it pretty good.
"Um, you may want to take a peek over at .............. nevermind, you're going to get jerked over there anyway."
"I'm not finished yet!!"
"Oh."
"ELROS VALINOR!!! It's time for you to put down that paintbr.........WHOA!!!"
"Where the hell did all these little .................... critters come from?"
They are gnomes, they live here. They've been around since Finrod's days.
"They're staring at me."
Yeah, they do that.
"That bunny tho'..."
I do agree, the bunny has a "crazed cuniculus killer" look to him.
Elros surprised me by mustering up one last once ounce of dignity.
"So, Grim, any hot chicks in the afterlife?"
"Just the ones you're related to! You're staying here in the yard."
"Crud."
Not THAT much dignity.
Sorry, Elros.
Okay, I go several generations with no one wishing for more than two children, and all of a sudden everyone wants to be the Von Trapp family?
I deleted this wish as Mungo was unable to invite him over.
I'll take the penalty as I suppose I could have hauled his ass to China AGAIN.
Poor Earwen, I never give her any face time.
"Maybe it's because the toybox has decapitated me?"
Yeah, that's probably why.
The ground must be really boring because Elros shows up the night after his death.
Just in time to embarrass his granddaughter.
"Oops! This floating through walls thing takes some getting used to."
"GOD, Grandpa!! GET OUT!!!"
"Sorry, Gilly!" *goes to break the tv instead*
I think I may have failed to mention that Bebe was pregnant.
With twins. Great.
"I'm not just an artist, baby, I'm an arTISTE!! That's French, baby. Means I'm that much cooler, that much more avant garde, I suffer THAT much more. I'm the real deal, dollface."
Elros?
Also, yes Kait is still at the hospital. I left her there instead of putting her in the graveyard. I think she approves. Let's meet the worms, shall we?
The little boy who was pink for a fraction of a second is Arathorn, named after Aragorn's father.
The little girl is Bree, named after the hobbit village where Frodo and company first met Strider. Aragorn has daughters, JRR never bothered to name them, so I'm getting creative here.
Both babies got to roll their traits.
"I think this baby is defective. Can I trade him in for a new one?"
No Bebe, he's not defective, YOU are. You keep getting stuck and I've had to reset you twice just on your trip home from the hospital. UGH. This game file. The lag and glitches are getting worse and worse. I think we'll be moving to a new town before this generation is over.
Let's catch up on a few more notifications.
BWHAHAHAHAHAAA!!! SUCKER!! Not to ruin the mirth, but Leslie was single because Iddie finally died.
Yeah they are!!!
See, Mungo? Bungo has the fertility reward. He's SUPPOSED to have multiples. I don't know what the hell your excuse is. Also, I did click on City Hall and change Larissa to Galadriel. Bungo's twins must have matching Tolkien-twee names, after all.
Deagol is halfway to his LTW.
"*sob* Oh Dad!! This party is going to suck without you!!"
"Cancel the sobfest, Daisy, I brought pepperoni pizza."
I am so excited for the Perry/Valinor baby to be born!
Bun: "Uh, who's everybody mad at and why?"
Beats me, let's pause and find out.
Oh OF COURSE it's you! And that?
Is not Leslie. Why does my simself have to be such a ho?
"Alright Kristin, I know that this is your game, but you're going to have to stop treating my home like your own personal gigolo pad or else I'll have to ask you to leave."
"Seriously, I cannot believe you're cheating on LESLIE with this gross, old dude. Leslie is SO much hotter."
"So beside the point, Daisy."
"But still worth mentioning, Mungo."
"HEY!! Over here! It's MY birthday, remember?"
Pal is now a disciplined, friendly, art-hater, who obsesses over locks, stoves, and hand-washing, and kisses loads of ass to get what he wants. He never rolled a LTW so I chose "Leader of the Free World" for him. Way to go, man. I'm moving your ass out.
I'll give you one guess.
"Is there any cake left?"
"No."
Pearl: "I'm here! Sorry I'm late. Did I miss Pal blow.....oh. You're in your underwear."
Me: "Glad you made it Pearl! It's a helluva party!"
"Hey Dad, the SimGod chick is in her underwear."
"*sigh* Look, she's not skinny dipping in the hot tub. It's progress."
Pearl: "So, do I blow out my candles or..?"
Just get it over with. I'm aging her up to move her out with Pal.
Pretty!
I moved them into the triplex near the center of town. Have a good life, Pal!
I'll bet you did.
The next day, Mungo has his adult birthday.
"Hey! Now I'm not the only one with dumb hair!"
Your dad is getting a makeover.
"Why do you hate me?"
"Thanks for coming over, Bun! I wanted to congratulate you on your promotion. You look great in the new uniform!"
"Thanks man! I really appreciate it. Congratulations on having twins! They are a handful, aren't they?"
"You know it, man!"
Hold on, who is that at the pond?
"I got it, I got it!!.......................... I spy with my little eye ............. my cousin with the stupid name!!"
"OH MAH GAWD!! I CANNOT BELIEVE IT!!"
"MY MOM IS A STAR!!!"
No she's n...
"SHUT IT!! That's right, Beatrice, I am the biggest damn star in this valley. Don't you listen to that crazy voice in the sky."
Deer: "There's no escape. I'm doomed!"
"Come on, Legolas. Daddy has to get up early in the morning."
That's not your baby, Bun.
"It's not?"
No, that's Arathorn. He's Mun and Bebe's baby. Legolas is at home with the rest of your family.
"Oh."
"You know, they really ought to tag these babies. They all look the same."
I hope they don't allow you around the nukes, Bun.
"Welp, time for me to go to why the hell is Arathorn outside, by himself, on the ground?"
There was a slight mix-up.
*sigh* "Come on, little guy, let's get you back to your crib."
"Lin! You had the baby! You're looking great!"
"Thanks, Mungo!"
*whips out pen and pad* "So...... what did you have and what did you name it?"
"Well, we had a little girl, and Steve really wanted to name her Sherrie."
"Sherry, with a 'y'?"
"No, 'ie'. He had his heart set on that name, no idea why."
"It's not his mother's name?"
"No, that's Mary."
"*snort* It's probably his ex-girlfriend or something."
"WHAT??"
"Uh, nothing. Nevermind. How about them Llamas?"
That Pulitzer has your name all over it, Mun.
The game really wants him to travel again. Not if I can help it.
"My work here is done. That'll be $125."
And we have twin toddlers! Arathorn looks a lot like Bun and Linda. Bree looks like her dad, save for that red skin thing.
"It's my birthday, too!"
Yes, yes. Earwen is now an easily impressed, excitable animal lover. Thus cutting her chances at heirship off at the knees.
"Wow, Uncle Deagol! You're really good at this game. You must have played with the bang-bang toy all the time as a baby."
"Thanks, kiddo! I think another match or two and I can finally move out of here."
"Really?"
Yes, really!
Like Bungo before him, I didn't want Deagol dating his second cousin or something, so I dug around the bin and hooked him up with Bun's wife's granddaughter, Quayle.
"You better not cheat on me like my first husband did."
Ugh, in her original game she married Cornell Rifkin, from Apaloosa Plains. He cheated on her with some chick from work. Quayle never forgave him and autonomously divorced him.
Don't worry, Quayle. My Deagol would NEVER. You hear that, D? You betta not!
"WHY DO YOU KEEP INVITING THESE TACKY PEOPLE TO OUR PARTIES????"
Now what? Is it my ho simself, again?
"No!! It's my stupid brother!!"
LOL! Look! It's Bun's buns!!
I mean, sorry Daisy.
I swear I've taken this exact picture before.
Gil: "Why is Uncle Bun gettin' naked on my birthday?"
Mungo: "Bun, seriously, what the hell's the matter with you?"
Bella: "I've been telling you all for YEARS that parties are shit."
Then why do you show up?
"Free cake."
Traumatized child in red sweater: "I'm never going to turn around ever again."
Yavin (pink girl aka Iddie's granddaughter): "I'm just gonna do my homework and not even look up until it's time to go home."
Do I expect anything different? No.
Gilly is now a tv and music loving klutz who is VERY emotional.
"Seeing my uncle's junk has made me dead inside."
Very, very emotional.
"Well, even though I JUST got here and all I've done is walk to the front door and back again, I've got to go. New job and all."
What job?
"Makin' you late anywhere you want to go. Personal services extra."
Alright, Lin. Who'd you get that from?
Bree: *GASP* "I had a LOLLIPOP??"
"WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!"
Linda: "I didn't do it!!"
I think Bella may be on to something.
We'll call it here. Coming up, yet another Valinor is born, Mun forces me to let him travel again, and Sunset Valley finally shits the bed.
