I put a spell on you... The Maldicion Legacy. [1.8]

Wow, 8 posts in and we're not even in college yet?  (In fact, we haven't even seen all the kids?!)  UGH.  HOKAY so let's try to speed things up, shall we?

Last post, Teagan was burned hardcore by her friend what's-her-face, and Orion and Annabelle grew up into children.  LaterTeagan had a lackluster date, which ended with school and the birth of her new baby sister, Annabelle.

Homework gets completed.  No excuses, except for maybe pressing need failure. <_<

Teagan.  She gets air.

Hah! Autonomous booty-call, and look who shows up.  What happened to all this?  Try to ignore Teagan's hair slicing through her hood.  It's a sensitive issue for her.  Aaaanyway, lets just say that the phone call was "successful". ;)

I know that she doesn't need a portrait, but for some bizarre reason, I decided I wanted one.  Turns out it was way more trouble than I expected, as the game just up and decided not to allow Xavier to complete a painting he took a break from.

lol Matching but not identical outfits.  Too bad she doesn't stand a chance of being spouse.

Jedah made some booty calls as well.  And kept playing Red Hands instead.  No, seriously.  He's cute, but a failboat and a half.

Xavier and LaShawn are serious about sex education.

It looks like he might be flirting, but really, I think he's just admiring her.  He does that a lot.  Admiration hussy that he is.  Just gives it out to anyone who isn't a rat bastard.

Like I said.  Someone needs to explain the concept of "Booty Call" to Jedah.

For the record, this is not post-woohoo.  -_-  Honestly, now.  At this rate, he'll spend most of his time in college having not even had a first kiss.  (Not that I know this or anything.)

Right.  Portrait attempt 2.

Annabelle: *yanks on LaShawn's hair as hard as she can*

A real charmer, that one.

I keep taking pictures like this to reassure myself that her jaw & nose aren't that bad.  Damn you LaShawn!

Nothing says ostentatious like portraits of yourselves in the bedroom, right next to a sculpture that costs over a kilobuck.

Poof! And PUFF!  ILU Nouk, but I'm saving that hair for future gens.  Especially what with Annabelle being doomed to the simbin.

Enjoy your Maxification, pumpkin.  (Annabelle post-makeoverishthing.)

I half expected him to fall down, what with how well (or not) his weight is being supported.

And so begins the neglect. It's nice to see them continuing the family tradition. :D

... In case you were wondering, I was initially trying to get the 10 babies family impossible want.  Of course, the deck is stacked against me, since LaShawn counts neither Jedah nor Orion, apparently.  Which brings the total needed to >= 12.

No reason.  Just bask in the aura of his swanky warlock vibe.

Little known fact: I am a masochist.

I love this stuff!

Milestone.  I'm as excited as LaShawn there.

You have a bed, dear.  I know you only use it to make more babbys, but it's also good for sleeping on.  Try it sometime.

That's... not how you do it.  I forced her to stay that way, as punishment.  I also p&l-ed because she had a fear of passing out at the time.

Jedah tended to the kids while...

Teagan went out on a date.

With her.  I forget her name.

I knew I forgot to check something.

STFU!  Teagan's makeup is FABULOUS.  I can see this date is off to a great start.

I chose the bowling alley because I'd never so much as loaded this lot before.  It's cute. :)  Teagan is not the best bowler though.

Post-flirting crush!hearts and energy desperation wave.  I'm glad I don't have the comm-sleeping hacks.  If she wants to pass out, she can do that on the sidewalk of her home, thanks.

Love too?  Must have been some flirt.

Hi there, random older dude in the background.  Would you mind not staring at the teenage girls?

Seriously.

Any time now.

GO AWAY! D:

Fortunately, they cared not at all, and the date meter was topped.  I'd forgotten that dream dates replenished motives some, and when Teagan returned, she didn't immediately collapse in a heap.

Hey Jedah, how are you going to fail me today?

Ah.  Fire.  Excellent choice.  I'm glad it only reaffirms your interest in culinary pursuits.

Of course, it might be moot soon if you don't do something sensible.

It only works if you spray it Jedah.  For the record, THIS IS WHY YOU WON'T BE HEIR.

Also, from now on, you just make sandwiches, and salads, and gelatin.  Basically stuff without fire.

Xavier opts for the semi-hands-on approach to occult lerninz.  Also, check out the new design for the Shack o' Magic.

OH NOES LASHAWN WAS ATTACKED BY A FACE-HUGGER WHILE I WASN'T LOOKING!

Ah, nevermind.  It was just the first preggo-pop. (Well, really the 13th... I think.)

I am a dork, and I love this animation.  That is all.

Since I got impatient (even then), and I was planning on having Teagan as one of the heirs anyway...

Shiiiiiiineh!

Yay!

Not bad.  If I wanted to go with a purple & black theme instead of red & black.

And everything is back to normal.  Except that she's witchificated.

Hahahaha... No.  You get no say in this matter.  I didn't name him Xavier Maldición for nothing.  Besides, I've already gotten you pregnant, what more could you want?  I mean, aside from a date & a kiss.

That's more like it.

Consolation prize, one kiss coming right up.

Honestly, since he went permaplat, his job has been to swoop in and fix all that's wrong in the lot.  (In between skilling sessions.)

This is perfect, the learn and don't starve.

Almost perfect.

Pop 2.

He's flirting with someone! He's flirting with someone!

Teagan: Muahahahahahaha...
Mind you, she has a niceness value of 6.  Which is to say... She's pretty darn nice for an evil witch.
Epsilon has max niceness, so... Uhm.  They're not very good at this evil thing.

Teagan seems determined to prove she can be a good mother.

Cheryl is much better at this muffin thing than Orion.

... Thanks Xavier, I think we're good on the Eye of Newt.  I guess that's what I get for forgetting you were over there making reagents.

On the bright side...

In other news:

He is well on his way to fulfilling an impossible want.  I loves Knowledge sims.

Oh.  You.  Didn't you die or something?

MOAR BABBYS!  Okay, just the one.

Ish Blake.  Black hair, brown eyes.  So, basically, no surprises.  No surprises ever again for this generation.

lol Jedah brought her home, but Teagan is the one who talks to her.  Remember, Jedah is a Popularity sim.

Ohey, it's you, from before.  You will get into my legacy, dominant genes be damned.

Bwing! Annabelle has grown into... a very odd looking child.

Can you not feel her evil?  FEAR HER.

Scary.

It would appear that the random application of a new default alien skin has left Orion looking like a Frankensim.  Doesn't last long though.

Presto-change-o!

He. Rolled. Family.  As if he wasn't out of the running enough.  Actually, I kind of don't mind this, since it effectively prevents any second-guessing as to whether or not I want him as heir.

Random townie in the house also grows up well.

So does Cheryl.

A Romance sim, like her sister.  But nowhere near as interesting.

Though she is handy, especially as I sent the twins off to college.

Blake is now a toddler, and beginning his slow descent into the SimBin.

Annabelle is being frustratingly endearing.  Bathtub pirating, and she keeps wanting to torment people.  <3  Have I mentioned her stats are 10 3 9 9 1?

IT SEEMED LIKE A GOOD IDEA AT THE TIME, OKAY?!

I admit a brief moment of panic was overtaken by another one of hope.  Sadly, there was nothing to worry about.

Annabelle, must you rock so much?

Apparently, she must.

In my oh-for-fucks-sake-let-this-generation-finish-induced delirium, I got this thing instead of the Thinking Cap.  It mocks me, with it's bizarre smileys and wasted Asp.  At least I've got enough to spare.

Neighbor is a cunt!

LaShawn, you know what to do.

Xavier, tell her what she's won!

Now, I realize this may just goad her into kicking the garbage can out of spite, but...

It's totally worth it, for some of this. XD

LaShawn disagrees.

Victory!

"Evil Servant": My work here is done.

Both he and his victim seem surprized by his Servant's departure.  Xavier, you have no excuse for your shock and awe -- you use that method of locomotion yourself!  Semi-frequently!

Still, he's been such a handy sim that I've decided: He can haz kitteh.  This is Allegra Maldicion.  Being adorable.  Like her owner.  WHO IS TOTALLY EVIL.

It was around at this point that I had an epiphany.  Screw this impossible want, at least, until I get LotFullOfSims.  And once that moment of clarity passed, another, more painful one took it's place.

What. Have. I. Done?!  How am I going to put them through college.  Am I?  How will I handle the aging of the adults, even if I do.  And just how long, in real-time play-hours, will it take for me to finally get to generation 2?

Well, That's all for now.  Stay tuned to see just what is baking in the oven, and how I handle this logistical nightmare.
