Previously on The Global Legacy...
Birthdays galore as Grina, Cheece, Greece and new baby Athens all got older. The family tried to get a wishing well, with great success, and free dinner, with far less success. The week ended with Greece achieving eternal happiness, despite the best efforts of Mrs Crumplebottom.
So, all is currently good in the household. The teen kids get along well.
Cheece got a helping hand with his homework.
And Greece... well, he got his LTW, but he still has pretty awful luck with the wishing well.
This time, it was another sack of cash on the noggin.
Greece: OW DAMMIT.
Cheece: I won! Yay!
Athens: I'll get you! Just watch me sweep the heir poll!
Yeah... about that... see, none of you kids are gonna be heir. The way this legacy works is that when one of the adult spouses dies, the other one must remarry. And speaking of which, I have a personal rule that any spouse who reaches their LTW is allowed to be, shall we say, helped towards their final destination. And hey, there's extra challenge points for different deaths!
Greece: I like this new swimming pool, but I'm getting kind of peckish now.
Greece: Hey! Wait a minute, there's something missing from this pool!
Oh? *whistle innocently*
On the other hand, it might not be a good idea to let Greece die if China's going to go and die from aspiration reward failure instead. (Spoiler: she didn't)
Greece: Ugh, that's it! I'm not making any more wishes with this thing!
Grim: YOU GOT THAT RIGHT, BUDDY.
OH SHIT! Well! I'd heard it was possible, but I'd never seen it happen! Crikey.
Cheece: Oh, how nice, Dad's got a friend over.
And so we say farewell to our founder, Greece. I built a lovely family mausoleum in the garden for him. SLEEP WELL FAIR PRINCE.
What's surprising is that no-one gives a shit! I know he was a pretty rubbish husband and provider, but he did have a pretty good relationship with his family, yet not a single one of them cried about it. Then again, they've got problems of their own, seeing as they've been locked out of the house this week. I guess Greece changed the locks just before he died and without his signature, the locksmiths won't provide a copy of the keys. So I sent them along to the family business for a couple of hours. I figure they can pee and work on business ranking at the same time.
China: I caught lunch! Oh.
Athens: How can you two even see what you're doing?
Although they have a barbecue in the garden, it will only allow the household to cook food from the fridge, not their inventories, so making China fish was a waste of time. Happily they have these usable coconut trees to eat from.
Cheece: What if I allergic to coconut?
You die.
Happily you're not allergic to coconut.
I also decided to make the kids my garden slaves and set them to work planting a million tomatoes.
Italy: Hello children! I was almost your father but then your mother stole Greece from me. Just think though, I could've been your other daddy!
Athens: Quick, play red hands with me and lets pretend we can't see him.
Cheece: I need to pee! Quick, get me to the business!
Ugh, so bored of going there every time one of you needs to pee. You'll just have to hold it.
Cheece: Nooooooo! My dignity!
Hey, your mum just got a huge bonus, how about I build you an en-suite once the locks are busted?
Cheece: IT'S TOO LATE NOW!
Somehow, hot tubs raise hygiene, so Cheece spent the rest of the night stewing in his own juices.
While Grina... well. See for yourselves.
Grina: You can't pull me through the porch roof!
Aliens: Lol, watch us.
Science Lady: I have a thing for Grina 'cause I heard Science was happening.
Yeah, it's uh, it's still happening. Grina isn't available right now. Come back later. Or not.
Here's where my sims started having problems with stupid. As you can see, Cheece is pretty damn tired. But his hygiene is also still crap. So when I tell him to sleep in the tent, he steps inside and then instantly steps back out to complain that he stinks, as if I care or something.
Alien: Enjoy the scholarship money.
Grina: Boohoo, that wasn't nearly as much fun as they made out on Doctor Who.
China: Now look here. This is ridiculous. My husband is dead, we live on the lawn, my children are covered in pee... what are you gonna do about it!?
Oooh! Oooh! I know! Let's throw a party! It can be a wake for Greece!
China: Great idea! I'll call all the nations I know.
China: Good thing I had nibbles in my inventory.
And this was the point where my graphics gave up. I guess the strain of 30 nations arriving at once was just too much for it, so from this point on, my pictures will be just that bit more crappy. Sorry.
~love is in the air~ but will there be any for China?
I don't know why I invited these two munchkins, they're not exactly stellar spouse material.
NyoItaly: Well I think they're cute.
Chibi Romano: Why the fuck am I wearing a dress and he isn't?
Whoops, I think I accidentally threw it out when I was sorting CC.
Monaco: Bow chicka wow wow!
Aren't you gonna get your flirt on with anyone, China?
China: Uh... other things on my mind right now.
China: I can pee in here, right?
Wrong.
Canada: Hey, we're all nearly naked in the hot tub, let's talk about balls.
Prussia: Best idea I've heard all day.
Everyone: OH MY GOD DID YOU SEE THAT!? THAT GUY THERE TOTALLY JUST TRIED TO STEAL THAT GNOME THE NERVE!
NyoBrittania: I CANNOT LOVE A MAN WHO WOULD STEAL A GNOME.
NyoBelarus: I never touched it, you never saw me.
China: I just wanted to thank you for standing up for me against the gnome thief.
NyoBritannia: Oh. Well. That's very nice of you and all, but actually I was just falling out of love with Japan here for dissing tea.
China: No need to explain, I understand perfectly.
China: Oh no, I shouldn't have mentioned liquids!
China: No-one saw that, did they?
Estonia: OMG ew.
America: HA HA HA SHE JUST PISSED ON HERSELF THIS IS THE FUNNIEST THING I'VE SEEN SINCE THAT PICTURE OF A CAT!
Naw, it's all good honey, no-one saw.
Suddenly!
Everyone: GNOME THIEF! GNOME THIEF! TREACHERY! WICKEDNESS! BETRAYAL!
Holy Roman Empire: I'm sorry! I'll be good!
Belarus: Check me out, I'm all ready for the next gnome thief.
Spain: I just want you to know you were never good enough for him.
China: Hey!
Spain: EW AND NOW I HAVE PEE STENCH ALL OVER MY FINGERS.
Just imagine how great it would've been without the incontinence.
Athens: Oh hooray, they're all going. I thought they'd never leave.
Hi Greece! How's the afterlife.
Greece: LONELY. BAWWW.
Sorry to hear that. Um, just a quick one, could you not try getting your kids to join you?
Greece: Hmph. Fine. I'll haunt the radio instead.
China: Come here sweetie and let mama wash your face.
Cheece: OMG ma, I'm fifteen years old. I can wash myself.
(LIAR)
China couldn't decide between sleeping in the tent and whining about her hygiene and wound up taking a dirt nap instead.
And bloody Athens skipped school when I wasn't looking.
Athens: Who needs school when you can play with all the other skiving kids in town?
I have to admit, they're getting way more skills doing this than they would at school.
Oh, and look. It's snowing. WHHHHHHY this week of all weeks!?
After her last date ended in epic sunburn, Grina kept rolling date wants, so I sent her out with her lov-ah, Martin.
Server: Just to check, you can actually pay for this, right? Because we had a guy with the same surname try a couple of dine and dashes last week.
Grina: Dad, if you weren't already dead, I'd kill you.
Martin: You know I love you, but DAMN you stink.
Grina: :(
Despite Grina's BO problems, they still manage a dream date.
Aren't you worried about getting abducted like your sister did?
Cheece: One upside to smelling of wee is that no-one wants to touch me, not even aliens.
Athens: Speaking of wee...
Cheece: I'm so cold!
Have you thought about PUTTING SOME DAMN CLOTHES ON?
Grina: I dunno, hot-tubbing in the snow is a way better way of warming up.
Cheece: Hi, I'm really tired, but my pee-soaked body stinks out the tent.
Ugh, shut up and deal with it. You know where the hot tub is.
Well that's going to be tricky.
Athens: I can't feel my fingers!
OK, this is starting to get silly.
Bath's should take care of those pesky hygiene motives at least.
Cheece: I'm going to freeze to death first!
Unfortunately the lot description was a goddam lie and the bathtub was really a hot tub. Which is nice and all, but piss-poor (no pun intended) at raising hygiene, plus Athen's isn't allowed to use the damn thing. Still, who needs a bath when you can pick your teeth in the mirror, right?
China: Minty fresh!
Athens: The gym showers are pretty nice and all but can we go home now? I can't sleep on this crappy modular sofa!
To the business! I have a mod that gives scholarships for talent badges, so Grina and Cheece both work on their sales for a few hours.
While Athens builds an evil snowman. What? Why?
Athens: My dad is dead and we live on the lawn.
Oh, OK, fair enough.
Cheece: Send me back to the business, I have to pee again!
Can't you do it in a bush or something?
Cheece: Too late.
Lithuania called Grina hoping for a date. Sorry Liet, I'm saving you for the adults.
Cheece: Wanna talk about busts?
Grina: That's so inappropriate.
Sing it with me! Boom boom boom, another one bites the dust.
Athens: Whew. Finally, all the pee's cleaned up.
Grina: Meep!
Athens: DAMMIT!
And now everyone has frostbite. Terrific.
England: Hey, have you seen that really cool episode of-
China: I LIVE ON THE LAWN. I HAVEN'T SEEN JACK SHIT.
China: -whoa.
France: 'Scuse me, coming through.
Liechtenstein: Let's talk about eggs.
China: Excuse me!?
England: You gotta be fucking kidding me, right!?
China: Oh my God, I'm so glad to be out of there, did you SEE that nasty-ass naked guy? Talk about ew!
Should you be drinking that?
Grina: I'll drink what I like, fuck you very much.
Back home, Athens crashes out on the floor. That's four out of four! Wait a second, I don't get any bonus points for that!
MaidMan: Will she be OK?
Eh, probably.
China: I think she's drowned.
NyoTaiwan came strolling by, so I had China chat to him for a bit.
Meanwhile, Cheece went hiking and stumbled through poison ivy.
He's also been whining a lot about getting his first kiss, but refuses to bring anyone home from school. So I had him brave the wishing well.
Cheece: Please don't let me be crushed by a falling bag of money.
Success!
OK, I know the rules said they had to make do with what was in the garden already, but I really wanted Athens to grow up and it turns out you can't have a birthday party on a community lot. It's just this one thing, I promise!
Athens: Cool! I wonder what I look like without frostbite?
Grina: I think I've forgotten what I looked like without frostbiiiii-
Grina: *thud*
Athens: Is she OK?
She has actually frozen solid. She might be OK when she thaws out though.
Athens: How's she gonna do that?
Why, with warm liquids, of course!
Grina and Cheece: *synchronised peeing*
Cheece: Thank goodness for the hot tub, right hgbbglbbl!
Grina: Heh, right in the eyes.
Are you trying to pee on your hand?
China: Shut up! It's frozen and I can't move it!
See what happens when you go to school, Athens?
And here she finally is without that frozen overlay. Pretty!
Wow, that's like, real fuckin' neato.
Finally it's Tuesday and the locks are busted open. I made Grina blend up some of those millions of tomatoes they grew this week because tomato juice is supposed to make you warmer, I think.
And as soon as her temperature returns to normal, she leaves for college.
Grina: So long, house! It was nice knowing you!
The music's been blaring all week (and because no-one could change the station, it was that bloody annoying salsa one) but finally Cheece is actually close enough to the radio to work out for the body point he's been pining for.
And the week ends with Athens making some strawberry juice because why the fuck not.
Next week's challenge looks to be a doozy. But first, more important things. It's time for a new spouse poll!

Date: 2013-04-12 05:07 pm (UTC)It was so frustrating when they kept getting out of the tents. Happily there was a coffee bush already in the garden, so when it got too annoying, I made them snack on that.
And yus, I wanted draaaaaama. :D But I think I shall have to abandon those giant parties until I can get a better PC.

Date: 2013-04-12 05:16 pm (UTC)Gnome thieves always make me giggled but I couldn't believe it when they tried it in front of all those witnesses! The sudden sound of 30-odd sims yelling about it made me jump.
I believe this right here is Liet's hair. (http://www.digitalperversion.net/gardenofshadows/index.php?topic=4688.0) :)
