S2S Legacy Challenge: The Fennell Legacy: Gen. 1i

[sims_by_izza]

In our last episode: Bryn met Zooey Hart, the two-bolt bombshell of his dreams, way too late, Natasha and Alexandra were the cutest child-cat duo ever, and Natasha grew up well in to a teenage popularity sim.


Natasha: "You're not still sore about my aspiration, are you?"
No.  I'm resigned to it.


Natasha: "What do you mean,you're having another baby?  ..... Don't you want me to be heir....?"
Bryn: "Did you have to tell her over breakfast, Josie?  You know she'll fret about it all day and her grades will suffer."


Josie: *pop!*
Bryn: *sigh* I wish it was Zooey....


That's probably not the safest place to take a bath, Alexandra.
Alexandra: "Pfft!  I do what I want."
Note: I jumped on the default replacement pet eyes bandwagon, but I'm not sure I'm happy with them.  None of the ones I've found look anywhere near as good as the millions of default replacement human eyes available.  They might not stay in.  Not sure.  If anybody knows where I can get any apart from MTS2, please let me know...


Alexandra: "Don't let Papoose hurt me again!"
Awww.  If I could stop that dog beating you up, I would.  Even when s/he isn't invited inside by anybody, s/he beats on you.  I'm sorry.


Her first day of high school, Natasha brought home Dawn by Jenfold.  That evil grin when she got off the bus made me fear the worst (she has no nice points!) but things went surprisingly well.


Dawn immediately won herself some brownie points from me by making a beeline for and playing with Alexandra and pointedly ignoring Papoose.


Dawn: "Your makeup looks stupid and vanilla..."
Josie: "What!!??"


Josie decided to call Porcelain and invite her over instead.  At least Porcelain would never criticize her makeup, and besides, she'd always been wanting to get to know her better.
Porcelain: "You're pregnant!  ..... why can't I have a baby?" *sniffle*
Oh, don't worry, Porcelain.  If I'm lucky, someday you will marry in to this legacy.


Porcelain: "Babies are so cute!  You've just gotta watch how you hold 'em.  I hear their skulls can be crushed like that!"
Uhhh... I'm walking away from this conversation now.  At least Porcelain is enthusiastic about babies, I guess.


Porcelain: "Is that guy checking me out?"
Yes, he is.  That's Spazzy McGee, made by me many years ago, and ressurected/cloned (though made not so maxis match this time around) just for this hood.  Just watch out, Porcelain.  He has a secondary aspiration of romance.


*sigh* Just don't say I never warned you....


Natasha: "Hey!  I was gonna sit in that chair, yellow shirt guy!"
Dawn: "Yeah, yeah, we were all gonna sit in that chair.  Don't worry.  We'll get him later!"
Dawn and Natasha have become very close friends.  They're quite funny.  Every time they're watching tv together and somebody else comes to join them, they look at that person with disdain and then pointedly ignore them.  They're such stereotypical teenagers!


Bryn: *has given up on his arts and crafts blog and decides to turn it in to a cuisine blog instead*
He almost never cooks.  But he reads cookbooks a lot.  I'm guessing he just writes about the food he's eaten, not cooked.
Bryn: "Natasha's first meal, croissants with jam, went down well with her guests.  However, the meal lacked a certain finesse in this reviewers opinion.  Two stars."


Josie: "Please tell me he's not writing in that stupid cuisine blog!  If he even mentions this meal there I am totally breaking in to his livejournal and deleting his account!"


Natasha and Alexandra are still very close.  Natasha always wakes up wanting to spend time with her precious kitty before school.


However.... right after Natasha left for school on this particular day.....
Grim: *pokes head through wall* "Here, kitty, kitty, kitty...."
No!  I didn't even realize she was an elder!  I just kinda assumed she was an adult cat, but maybe it's completely random when you adopt a pet from a store, or there's somewhere you choose it and I didn't see.  I never got a pet from a pet store before, and I never even checked, ever.  This took me completely by surprise and I was sad...
And in case you're wondering why nobody is standing around crying....


.... it happened at the exact same moment Grim appeared!
Beth: *is inappropriately over-the-top in her surprise*


It's another girl!  Meet Carrie.  Black hair, Josie's eyes and a geneticized skintone.
It makes me sad that her first memory is such a terrible one.  What a depressing way to come in to the world...


Natasha: "What the hell?  Why is the baby on the floor?"
I told you Helena's not so hot in her nanny skills.  She put you there all the time, too.
Natasha: "What an idiot!" *fumes* "This is the worst day of my life.  I have heir competition, the nanny is an incompetent twit, and worst of all, my beautiful kitty is dead!  Surely it can't get any worse?"


Natasha: *dumps Carrie in the jumperoo and stomps off to do her homework*


Regardless of her mourning, I had Natasha run out to meet Sable McCarthy by rhiannon_alexis .  She's adorable!


As a tribute, Natasha decided to call everybody she'd ever seen being nice to Alexandra and invite them to a wake in her honor.  Papoose was not invited!
Spazzy: "Sounds like you've had a pretty drama filled day.  Wanna talk about it?"
Natasha: "It's just like nobody understands how hard it is to lose a pet... she was my best friend..."
Spazzy: "You have her urn, right?  You could keep it close to you as a reminder of how close the two of you were in life."
He's really a very good guy.  The secondary of romance is his only real vice.  He actually has the same aspiration combo as Natasha, and they just seem to click in conversations.


Sable: "It's just not a party without animated conversations in a cramped hallway whilst waiting for the bathroom!"
Spazzy: *hangs on every word any pretty girl says*
She's not for you, Spazzy.  You have a body part she doesn't require, if you get my drift...
