The Gorey Legacy Part 7

doronjosimaIt's miraculous, I am actually writing another update in the SAME MONTH as my last update. MIRACULOUS.
Last time, Epergne became a teen, the twins Eepie and Embley became children, Naenae got demoted at work, a nanny got fired, a burglar stole some stuff and got away, and Boggerslosh had his first kiss. Seems like a lot when you write it out like that.
Eepie reveals that despite her Valley-Girl-esque traits, she's still genetically a Gorey, and thus, would like to see ghosts, please.
Naenae loves that chessboard like crazy. Plus, she really wants to max out her Games enthusiasm. Embley is just really logical, and thus, loves to play chess.
With the addition of Apartment Life to my game, the Goreys suddenly acquire ceiling tiles in their home. Naenae also can mysteriously produce a jump rope from her butt, not to mention actually jump said rope in four inch platform heel boots. She's fierce!
These two still have three bolts of chemistry, so they regularly canoodle in the bathroom. I think Sims just really like making out in bathrooms- Banjari & Froog from my Rosales Family story were obsessed with the bathroom.
Now we know what happens when people leave their birdcages open and unattended. The birds escape and Friedrich gets to add them to his life list!
Eepie is not as adept at school as her siblings, poor dear. So when she finally gets an A+ report card, she becomes a shrieking banshee of joy. Naenae and Friedrich, being Very Goth, are able to sleep through it. Yes, in the middle of the day.
While Naenae plays The Sims 3, Friedrich demonstrates his jump rope skill. Once again, he fails to be properly gothy and debonair. *sigh*
I apologize for the pitch blackness of this picture. They are too poor at this point to afford many outside lights, and the burglar stole the few they did have. Thus, Friedrich meets a werewolf in the dark. I swear that is what is happening in this picture.
Naenae loves to blog about games. I figure she's busy writing articles for Kotaku.
This reasonably cute (yet slightly scandalously dressed) teenager came home from school with Epergne...
... who completely ignored her in favor of studying her Mechanical skill. Little Miss Booty Shorts ended up stealing three garden gnomes from the yard because she was so incredibly unsupervised! ARGH!
After stealing back all the gnomes, Epergne decided to fix the broken computer. Her One True Hobby is tinkering after all...
DENIED! She was horribly electrocuted.
However, she demonstrated more smarts than any other Sim I've had to date, and she put the fire out ALL BY HERSELF. Epergne, you might have just pulled ahead in the heir race, despite your crazy LTW! ("Have 20 Simultaneous Loves"... good lord!)
Naenae maxes her Gaming enthusiasm! And thus, she is now capable of being "in the zone"! (This apparently involves glowing...)
Friedrich is still all about spoiling movies for Naenae, whose hands have vanished into her skirt. Perhaps she has pockets!
Eepie is still Naenae's girl, this touching scene plays out almost every day after work.
And now, Epergne's Adventures in Dating!
Black Lipstick Kid (aka Mr. No-Kissing aka Shane) decided he liked Epergne enough to go out on a date with her. This is good, because as a Romance sim, she was desperate for a date.
Epergne: I've got something for you!
Shane: ???
Epergne: BAM! IN YOUR FACE!
Shane: !!!
They soon settled down to regular date things, like dancing with worried expressions on their faces. (Stupid glitch...)
And of course, slow dancing. I like to imagine they were dancing to Spandau Ballet's classic cheeseball hit, "True", if only because it makes me laugh. (Also, because my Sims are as trapped in the 80's as I am...)
Epergne:This is totally our song now!
Shane: <3
Please to note that the club is full of elders. What?!
I don't think I like how excited that old man in the background is about Epergne goosing Shane...
Club-Crazed Elder: Hotchacha, that's what I'm talkin' about, by cracky!
Epergne: Gross! Let's move!
Epergne and Shane found a secluded corner in the back of the club for canoodling.
One date and she's in love. Epergne is definitely a Romance Sim! I don't know what Shane's excuse is though. (Oh yes, he's a teenager...)
Thus, it's time for the ever important teen rite of passage: making out! At least Shane didn't reject her this time...
Epergne: We like totally made out!
Shane: :D
Meanwhile, back at the ranch, Friedrich senses a great disturbance in the Force again. His Jedi Dad Powers woke him from a sound sleep in his plate of burgers!
Friedrich: I sense that someone has laid hands on my darling daughter!
He doesn't do anything about it except go to bed, though. *sigh*
Embley can't get enough book-learnin'. She learned about Physiology. If she doesn't roll Knowledge, I predict she will have a miserable life.
Friedrich was promoted to Magazine Editor, and thus, he now wears a very shiny suit to work.
Naenae was re-promoted at work, so it's back to the hideous powder blue suit. As usual, she's waiting to be greeted by a child upon her return from work.
Embley: *cheerfully ignores Naenae*
Finally, it's time for FOUR birthdays at once, so everyone crowds into the kitchen and into each other's way.
Friedrich is the first to blow out the candles.
Naenae: Whoa, this feels so weird!
In a shower of confetti, the girls somehow all manage to transition before Friedrich does.
Also, nice outfit there, Naenae. D:
And finally, Friedrich becomes an elder! Awww, he's all pudgy and old now, it's adorable!
Because I was sick to death of looking at him coming home with every kid in the neighborhood, and because he is Eepie's best friend, Depression Era Kid gets to become a teenager as well. I despaired that his bowl haircut remained.
Finally, post-makeover pictures for everyone!
Eepie acted so ditzy sometimes, I decided she was the Marilyn to this particular group of Munsters, so she got the super girly hair and very pink makeup. She rolled Pleasure as her aspiration. She kind of shocked me with how pretty she turned out to be, even though she didn't get Friedrich's skintone.
Embley on the other hand was such a nerdy kid, she had to go with the 20-sided die t-shirt and glasses. And there was joy in Mudville as well, because she rolled Knowledge! Also, she is ADORABLE. She's also seriously in the running for heir.
Naenae turned into a very cute elder! Of course, she had to change her makeup, and alas, let us now have a moment of silence for the loss of her Constant Tiny Hat. (It just looked ridiculous on an old woman.)
And finally, our illustrious founder Friedrich! He looks pretty good for an elder.
Friedrich: Alas, life, it is so fleeting! I must document this momentous occasion with a painting or poem!
And that's the end for now! It will be quite an adventure next time, what with four teenagers in the house. Thanks again for reading!
