We start with a glitch. After graduation, everything was hunky dory for young Miss

Daze and her Admiral Alice. The future was full of such

hope and dreams of a better tomorrow than the day

before it.

Well, then I started to move her onto an empty lot and

saw this. That’s not right, I thought. How weird. But I

thought that it might be okay when we got started.

I was wrong.

‘Alice, I feel all wrong.’

I have a feeling that her magic red hair has backfired on her, destroying her pretty

face.

Luckily, I am, if nothing else, a resourceful and

creative being, and with help of all holy Boolprop, I

managed to fix Teal. After a lengthy makeover and a

whole new wardrobe, we were finally ready to get this

show on the road.

‘*cackle* Alice, I feel something evil approaching.’

I doubt it, Teal, darling. This is a happy legacy, full of

light and love and all things wonderful.

‘You’re kidding, right?’

Of course. I’m in charge. Something wicked this way

comes.

Since I was not in the mood to build a new house, I threw

Teal and her fiancé, Lore, into this Maxis made thing.

After gutting and redecorating it, it was fit for

the couple, if a little bare due to lack of funds. On top of

the money Teal already had, Lore brought in $17,000,

cementing my love for him.

Three guesses what the happy couple got straight to

doing.

‘Get lost Alice. You want us to have all these babies, then

at least let them be made in privacy.’

Since when have you been worried about your sexual

exploits being posted about on the internet.

‘Since always. Now scram.’

Scram?

*wolf whistles* Get in there my son!

‘ALICE!’

Sorry, Teal. I was just leaving. Honest.

Houston, we have contact.

‘ALICE! GET LOST!’

Fine. Whatevers. Spoil all my perverted fun why don’t

you?

Teal is loosing her Romance ways. She actually spun up

the wants for a restorable car, and to max the Tinkering hobby. What happened to

you Teal? We were going to take over the world.

‘I guess that I just love my little Martian Man too

much.’

Freak. And should you really be doing that in your undies? Looks potentially disastrous.

‘I’ll survive…I hope.’

Me too.

‘Hello half naked green man. I’m still not seeing why

Alice sent me over here.’

*eye roll* Knowledge sims. Smart as they may be, they

really do lack the sight to see the really important things in

life. Like half naked men.

Anyways, that is Darcy, a pal of mine who is an awesome

person and writer who doesn’t seem to write

enough. Not at all. I’m still in the middle or

redownloading simselves into my game, so they are

currently few and far between.

‘Nipples at full salute.’

‘Oh…crap. Sorry. I should get dressed.’

No! Don’t you dare, Lore! Put on one more item of

clothing and it’s the cowplant for you, boy!

Keep walking Marisa. No naked alien is going to be

greeting you anytime soon. You and your beak are not

welcome in these parts.

I just realized that Lore hasn’t had his stats read yet,

so here we go.

Name : Lore Marsden-Daze (former NPC bartender)

Aspiration : Knowledge

Secondary Aspiration : Family

LTW : Become The Hand Of Poseidon

Turn Ons : Fatness/Full Face Makeup

Turn Off : Mechanical Skill

Personality : Pisces (6,2,9,4,4)

Hobby : Sports

And I love his shirt. After all that Captain/Admiral/

Commodore talk before, I had to give it to him. Nobody is perfect, except the captain.

Darn tooting, and don’t any of you forget it.

The arse end of the welcome wagon shows up, and it’s

more simselves. On the right is me, and on the left is Linn,

another friend of mine.

‘I hate you.’

Why? The outfit? Well, I thought it was amusing. And

it serves you right. Those shorts you had me in in our

joint legacy gave me frost bite. I do feel kinda bad

about this now, and will feel worse if she decides to kill

me.

I hope she doesn’t.

It’s all just fun and games…right? RIGHT?

‘So, you’re the cause of all this?’

‘Admiral LeQuia at your service.’

‘You’re not as evil looking as I was expecting.’

‘I am a master of disguise. Deep down I am pure evil.

It’s just hidden under 10 nice points, dimples and a round

face of freckles.’

Ladies, you are fooling no one with this false display of

brains.

‘We are Knowledge sims, you know.’

I do know. You’re staying in my house at the moment.

Chatting about skilling and what not. I need more

Romance sims to chat to. Teal is bust and I’m all

alone.

*sniffle*

Simple minds are easily amused. While the others

skill, my simself makes straight for the coffee cups to

juggle.

It’s uncanny just how like me she really is.

See? As soon as Lore gets home, she stalks him to the

bedroom.

‘That bed looks soft.’

‘It is.’

‘Mind if I try it?’

‘Uhhh…sure?’

‘Want to join me?’

‘TEAL! HELP!’

‘*sigh* Will my want panel go forever unfulfilled?’

It seems so.

How can you turn down that face? She looks like a

fricking womrat for goodness sake.

Okay, I have apparently gone into stalker mode. Wherever

Lore goes, she goes.

I expect this behaviour of Linn, but not me.

Linn : ‘I’m not even in the shot! Leave me alone!’

Sorry, sorry. But she did stalk the Pokecy V2 until I

married her in. And she also stalked a few of my other

legacies.

But I am the kind of person who gets stalked, not the

other way around.

Teal, just to warn you, my simself may have blown a fuse. She’s following Lore

about with what can only be called unwavering devotion.

‘No worries. I have a ruddy great wrench here and I

know how to use it.’

*gulp*

‘Come on Alice, time to go home and take care of Mini

you.’

‘But I wanna stay and oggle the man candy. There’s no

men folk at my house.’

Go home, me, and I’ll arrange for those hot male

dancers from Chicago to come and visit you. I saw

Chicago the other day, live, and it was awesome, even

with the annoying couple sat in front of me. I’ve been

singing “Call Block Tango” for the best part of three days

now.

Little tangent there to make you all feel involved in my

life.

‘Lore, I feel kinda sick.’

‘Maybe you had bad beans. Now, more woo hoo?’

‘Pretend to care or you never get woo hoo again. I have other guys to make babies

with.’

‘*gulp* Yes ma’am. Sorry ma’am. You okay honey?

Want some cake and a foot rub?’

‘Much better.’

Whipped! *whip sound*

‘This is the first time in forever that I’ve gotten the post without there being a

load of love letters.’

Well, we can go out on the town and throw out a few

dates…please?

‘No. I will never cheat on my little Lore again.’

Great. I just hope the kids are more interesting than their

parents.

‘My fiancé is so hot when she’s parading around outside in her undies.’

And that kids is about as good as this chapter gets.

Not wanting the kid to be born a bastard, I have the

couple finally get married. No party or anything,

because I’m lazy. Just the pair, an arch and me and my

camera.

Overly cute slides without a real caption to lend itself to

them.

But I had to use this picture. It’s so freaking adorable. I do

have a soft side too.

More cuteness. Sorry, but it’s almost over now. Honest.

‘Woah! Honey! What’s with the red rings?’

‘Ummm…’

‘Do you not want to be married?’

‘Hey, don’t judge me. I am a Romance/Pleasure sim!’

This is more like it.

‘But I’ll never cheat on you. Honest.’

Darn it!

‘He he he he. Gullible husband.’

Say what now?

‘I have to have three kids, right?’

Five.

‘What?!?!?!?’

Personal preference. Three is the minimum, but I want

five.

‘So, five. Whatever. Well, five kids, and then it’s back

to being me! I just don’t want the paternity of any of

my kids to be questioned. They will all be Lore’s but

after that…’

Teal Daze, you are pure evil.

‘Why thank you.’

Teal finishes off maxing the few skills she didn’t have

time to get in college.

‘Oh Mr Mirror, you breath is so minty fresh.’

Let’s leave her to it.

‘ALICE!’

What? What? I was throwing gummy bears at my cat.

‘Alice, my awesome dress disappeared and I got fat!’

It’s a baby. Why are all sims so shocked. Woo hoo =

babies. Say it with me now.

‘Woo hoo = babies?’

Yes.

‘This being pregnant thing isn’t too bad, actually.’

Good to know. So you don’t mind doing it up to five

times.

‘I guess not. But I’d rather not, really. Can’t we keep it

at three?’

We’ll see what the first three look like. In this house, looks

are everything.

Stupidly I left Teal’s cauldron and spell book at

college, in the Greek House. I may go and buy new ones soon, but for now the only

magic we have is here teleporting about.

‘Super special red-haired magical sparkles!’

Wow, you saved all of three seconds doing that rather

than walking.

‘Time is money, my friend, and I need to see if my dream job is here yet.’

Annoyingly neither Teal or Lore’s dream job has come

up yet, but I am cheating (kinda) by having Teal take

every job just to get the career rewards.

Ain’t I a stinker?

Lore, I’m bored. So something interesting.

‘No can do Alice. I’m learning about machines and

screw drivers and other manly things.’

*eye roll* I guess if you want drama, you have to do

it yourself, not rely on nerdy aliens to amuse you.

Teal! I’m bored! Entertain me!

‘So the finding your own drama went well?’

I’m too tired to bother. I stayed up all night watching both seasons of The Tudors

on DVD.

‘Well I’m too pregnant. It’s your own fault, really.’

I preferred you when you were stupid and danced a lot.

I never should have let you max all those skills.

It’s like the bodysnatchers have been. Teal is…doing

house work. Call Mulder and Scully. They are going to want to see this. *plays X

Files theme*

‘Ahhh! An earthquake!’

No, just another bump. Sims don’t have earthquakes.

‘Oh…crap.’

Lore, you may be boring, but you do have your

moments of manly charm. Men are never more manly than when they are beating pipes into submission with

wrenches.

COME ON GUYS! I am so tempted to send you back to

college, for the fun!

‘How would that work?’

Boolprop.

‘I’m sure things will get more interesting soon.’

They’d better, or I’ll have to make things interesting the

only way I know how. With pain, misery, adultery and

death!

*lightning and thunder*

And Teal has maxed all of her skills.

‘I am so smart! S-M-R-T!’

You did that last chapter too.

‘So, this is what it feels like to be you?’

Yup.

‘It’s kinda nice, really. I like the power.’

But remember, you’re only experiencing it because I told

you to.

‘Oh.’

Uh huh.

‘Have you been on that game all night?’

‘Umm…what’s the right answer?’

Poor Teal. But we’ve all been there, right? The

sleepless nights where you just have to get something done, and then something

else and then you’ve played through college in one

straight 24 hour block of Red Bull endorsed playing.

For me that’s every night.

‘Owwwie! You never said it would hurt!’

What did you expect? You know how big a baby is. It’s

going to hurt. It’s the curse we bear for walking upright.

‘Huh?’

Well, birth is less painful for animals that walk on four

legs. Have you seen a zebra give birth? Plop and it’s

done. Humans gave up that ease of birth to walk upright.

Yes, I am a nerd and I do watch the Discovery Channel

too much.

‘Oh my gosh! It’s a-’

I get to say what it is. Not you!

‘Sorry.’

It’s a boy, which I was hoping for, as I have mostly

boy names for this generation. He is called

Rivers, after Rivers Cuomo, the lead singer/guitarist of

Weezer, one of the best bands in the world. And it’s

an awesome name too.

My Rivers has Lore’s skintone and brow hair, and

Teal’s eyes.

And apparently Lore is not best thrilled with his

firstborn.

‘He doesn’t seem to have superpowers.’

And that’s important to you?

‘Well…yeah. I want him to be smart like me and magical

like Teal.’

Well, I rolled his aspirations at birth…and well, sorry

Lore. Plus, he’s Teal’s kid. Brains are unlikely.

‘Honey, stop shouting! You’re hurting his little

ears!’

Wow, Teal is a good mother.

Apparently Through The Looking Glass has come a

few generations early. That’s the “T” theme.

Another hobby maxed. Yipee! More plaques for the

wall to make it look super impressive and like this

family isn’t a total failure.

It’s a terrible day for the Daze house. Teal finally got

her dream job, and Lore is out earning pennies in a

temporary job, so we had to call in the nanny to watch

over little Rivers.

Burn down the house and it’s a world of pain for you,

comprendez?

‘I’m home! And I got promoted! Again! Give

Daddy some love!’

Your only child is an infant who cannot even lift his own head, let alone run out to hug

you.

‘Come on! Just one hug!’

I would, but my simself has been restrained to prevent

wrench wounds to the head. Teal gets home in a few

hours.

‘Then I’ll just wait here until she gets back.’

But…I want the nanny to go before Rivers gets hurt.

I sense a battle that you cannot win.

‘What? I can take this joker.’

Clearly you need to get a change of prescription for

your glasses.

*choirs of angels singing*

And Teal is perma-plat! Yay!

Her new LTW is to become a Celebrity Chef, which isn’t

too hard, is it now?

These two celebrate in their favourite way.

‘Alice. Out. Now!’

Going.

There was a lullaby. Rivers won’t been an only child for

too long.

‘He is really cute, Alice. You never told me babies are

cute!’

They aren’t. Their novelty wears off quick. Trust me. I’m the oldest of five kids.

You’ll get bored of the little guy soon enough.

See?

‘Well, you just can’t compare a baby to a guitar.’

Indeed you cannot. Guitars are awesomesauce.

So are leaves, apparently. But is it impossible for you

to wear clothes, Teal?

‘Clothes are too restricting.’

Great. If you become one of those elderly nudists, I will

disown you.

‘Are you going to tell me to wear more clothes too?’

Not in a moth of Sundays, dear Lore. You can walk

around in as little as you like, because my simself has a

soft spot for you, and so do I, in all honesty. You may have

once been an overly moral bartender, but you’re okay

now.

‘Cheers.’

Now back to robot making. Every legacy needs a badly

wired Servo to wipe out half the population every time it

freaks out.

Ladies and gentleman, the first time Lore has held his

child, and only because Teal is at work.

‘He has no superpowers.’

Give him time. He’s only small.

One step closer to my Servo! I may hate Servos, but they

can be hilarious at times.

‘Who needs a car when you can fly?’

Double shifts. Teal just got home in the car, and I’m

sending her straight back out for another promotion.

‘I’m overworked.’

Me too. I have to act as deity to all you guys. It’s no

picnic, I can tell you that much.

While Teal is at work (lucky her) we reach the first in a

long line of tedious and annoying birthday slides that

will plague this legacy.

‘Humour him, Alice. He’s a baby.’

Fine. And he does look like we’ve thrown him a surprise party. Rivers’s expression so

says “for me? You didn’t have to!’

Oh.

My.

Goodness.

Teal, Lore, you have finally done something right. He’s

beautiful. Change of hair and clothes, and he’s perfection.

His personality is just as awesome. He’s a Virgo

(10,1,9,10,3). Neat, shy, active, playful and mean. My

kinda guy.

Postmakover and complete with ickle freckles.

‘What’s cooking good looking?’

Aww, stop it you. You’re two years old.

That’s it for now. See you next time for more babies,

more skilling and hopefully more drama.
