Sutherlands Get Random - 3.11

 OK, beach bar outing and then we move on with this generation. 


Sangria: Must we? Why do you always take us to bars, Mum? And why the beach, it's 6pm.

Rivella: It's night and I couldn't be bothered to change out my swimsuit.

Pepsi: Not a bad plan, I'm sure they'll come flocking.

Sprite: Grandma please.

Kezia: Don't wanna look at any of you.


Rivella: Wow....so interesting.

Riv you're not erratic, why are you talking to yourself.

Rivella: You see I'm such a good mother I have a psychic link to my children. And Bellini's stories are crap. That one inherited no charisma.


Bellini: And I have to spend the rest of my teenage years stuck in the first trimester of pregnancy-

Pepsi: Lol that's on you. I've had men but you didn't catch me with a child!

Sprite: So. You're ageing up this update methinks. If anybody at the high school gives you trouble, let me know. I'll use it, I mean stop it.

Sangria: Oh...OK.

Kezia: Atta girl, Sprite.


Kezia: Well, Sprite's your best hope as a granddaughter-

Sprite: Hell yeah I am, You wouldn't catch me getting pregnant at 15 or caring about people.

Kezia: See?

Pepsi: Is this whose approval you're gonna try for?

Sprite: Who else should it be? You?

Kezia: Awww snap.


I sent them all to 'Make Many Sandcastles'. Let's see what they recreate.

Rivella: What are you building, honey?

Sangria: Some form of dream house. You?

Rivella: Demonic possession reenactment. Really in vogue. Wanna combine?

Sangria:...I'm good.

Rivella: Yeah, too good.

Sangria: Why do y'all say that like it's bad.


I got everyone started on one except these two.

Bellini: Fuck you and your sand, I'm not a child and I have an actual baby in me.

Sprite: In these heels? Girl please. I'm already having trouble walking.


Sangria did a better job of modelling demon possession than her mother ever could.

Sangria: I just need to pee!


Sprite: What are we making again?

Pepsi: Volcano.

Bellini: Cool, I'll participate if someone gives me actual matches!


Later, Riv and Kezia had a nice autonomous hug...

Sangria: So you two can love...just not us, or other people.

Kezia: It's not that deep, kid. We're touch-starved and your noodle arms aren't gonna do it.

Pepsi: You know I haven't been hugged in a-

Rivella: No.

Sangria: I'll hug you I guess.


Kezia: Hey, remember the bet we made?

Rivella: Ah.

Pepsi: I'm curious but I shouldn't be.

Rivella: Look away, San.

Sangria: Oh God.

Kezia: Whip it off!


Pepsi: That crazy bitch. This is gold, glad I got to be her mother in some way.

Kezia: Just look into my eyes, dearest.

Sangria: I don't want to, they're full of spite.

Sprite: Hey, Bell. Behind you is some crazy naked lady running about.

Bellini: What? No way! Nighttime beaches, huh.

Sprite: She's got loads of tattoos, and hair just like y-


Sprite: Well. Now I'm traumatised. I didn't need to see that much of mum.

Bellini: LOOOOL rip you.

Sprite: Seriously, I need some brain bleach.

Bellini: *snicker*


Rivella: Haters gonna hate. But I know I still look good.


Back at home...

Pepsi: So, dear, maybe it's time to discuss your impending-

Bellini: Nope. What do you even know? And before you say anything, your clone giving birth to my mother and aunties is not experience!

Rivella: I myself have had four-

Bellini: Four too many. And I can't look you in the eyes.

Pepsi: That was a weird thing to do, Riv.

Rivella: I told you I lost a bet to Kezia.


Sprite: What's good?

Bellini:...Nothing. Nothing's good. Make her stop.

Rivella: - that body made you, y'know? Now that you're going to be a mother-

Bellini: Sprite needs your help to manipulate, uh, some girl-

Sprite: No, I've got it handled, keep going Mum. I bet she needs to hear this.

Bellini: I'll kill you.


Cola: What? I'm not gonna stay in the city alone.

Sigh, whatever. This guy looks kind of cool.


Nicola: This house is a fucking nightmare!

Sangria: Zzz...I know right?


Her wife is also out haunting.

Lux: Sorry...was that a foetus? You're only - what has this family come to?

Sprite: Ow...feet hurt so much...

Lux: Ugh, and that one can't even wear heels?

Bellini: Lol paint fumes.


The morning...

Rivella: What is it, my little prince of darkness?

Onyx:....I was injured by a squirrel.

Rivella: Ah, you got your ass kicked. Tell me if you're sick, sweetie.


Sangria's upset this morning.

Sangria: Some random called me and said my aunt died. Since when did I even have an aunt Kayleigh?

Kala's sister.

Sangria: My deadbeat mother?

Yeah.


Sprite: Hey, San. Not gonna get far up the social ladder if all you do is draw.

Sangria: I'm drawing my auntie.

Sprite: Well, I think Onyx ate the purple crayon so you might have a problem there.

Sangria: My DEAD auntie.

Sprite:...Do I need to call them?  


Sprite's club is gathering. Even though she's still a kid we can't exclude her best friend Kaitlin.

Marina: Aww look we're babysitting too.

Laura: I cannot be bothered to listen to anything you people say.

Kaitlin: When I have my birthday it's so over for you bitches.


Bellini: Uh...so I'm pregnant and this room has become my worst nightmare.

Sprite: Come on Bell. Love the people. Interact with them. Bare your soul.

Pepsi: I can do that! I've got so many stories-

Sprite:...That's OK, Grandma.


Kala's ex-husband is here. Why?

Tim:. I just...need to know. Before I die. Who made her stray?

Stop being dramatic. I checked MC and you have like two weeks.


This girl, Rocio, is a potential spouse for either Sprite or Sangria.

Rocio: Why thanks, I know I'm hot. I can bring that and my passion for music to this group!

Ashlee: Bitch you're not all that, I've got looks and moves too!


Grenadine has followed her sister into middle-age.

Grenadine: I'm nothing like - oh, right, I guess everyone ages.

Yep, pretty much without exception.


Bell retreated to the painting shed with Kezia.

Bellini: Thank you so much for-

Kezia: No talking, I'm in here to avoid socialisation too.

Bellini: You get me.

Kezia: Girl. Shush.


Onyx: I mean, I was thinking about chasing her away but then I like, didn't want to-

Sasha: You think I'm scared of cats? I grew up watching my dad's duels!

This girl just looks really cool. She's like a spiritual successor to Gemma Charm. And she picked herself a nice outfit!

Why is she here though?

Sasha: This is the house of crazy, and I gotta check it out, right?


Aperol's here to visit.

Aperol: Oh, Kristine my love. When will you graduate school?

Owl: Maybe not the best thing to wail that in public, dude.


Bellini: Hey, Apps. How's Auntie Gin-Fizz's?

Aperol: Not bad! Now how's everything going with, y'know-

Bellini: No time, my baby daddy's here!

Aperol: You pointed that out to annoy me!

Bellini: Absolutely, goodbye!


Bellini:...Wait.

Sprite: Hey, what's got you down. Aperol?

Aperol: Got a phone call...

Sangria: Heeeeeeeyyyyy did some distant relative you were never able to form a relationship with die? Related to that crazy old ghost?

Aperol: How'd you know?

Sangria: Samesies :(


Aperol: But I think I know how to get over my grief and distract myself.

Sprite: Pray tell.

Bellini: It better not be...

Aperol: Bellini's idiot boyfriend is in the house and I'm gonna beat his ass.

Sangria: Really. You're gonna beat up a teenager? Pedestal broken, I have no role models.


Rivella: So nice to see all my children together.

Aperol: But, SAN-

Sprite: Maybe just stop caring about people, thought of that?

Bellini: I'm gonna go find Johnny. We're gonna have SEX.

Aperol: BELLINI - I have too many sisters.

Sprite: Tbf I'd probably let one of those girls in my club-

Aperol: All of you stop talking!


Pepsi: Ooh, cake!

Berry: Sssstupid woman...

Bellini: Oh, I'm watching this, Enjoy the cake Grandma.


Kezia: Absolutely not! Write that all out again.

Sprite: But Keziaaaaa...

Kezia: No! You think that note is believably from a high-school boy? Try harder...next, we do your algebra!


Understandable.

Sangria hit Level 8 creativity (she's gonna make that aspiration!) and can draw a 'Monster'...

Sprite: This monster represents my feelings.

You feel calm? Serene?

Sangria: How else? After that disastrous kitchen conversation I've shut some stuff off.


Rivella: Ooooh...bubbles! They smell kinda funky. Maybe I could weaponise this-

You remind me of your mother when you do that.

Rivella:...Don't.


Rivella: See, I'm helping you guys with your homework. 

Sangria: Mum I can't use these ideas in an elementary school assignment.

Bellini: Can you just do the damn sums?

Rivella: I'm nothing like my mother, right girls? Right?

Sangria: Well, we never knew her.

Rivella: Which is good, I'm much better.

Ehhhhh...probably not.


Sangria: But...why not? I'll be a good friend!

Onyx: Absolutely not, vanilla child. I don't need your help to stay out the bushes-

Sangria: But you're like, 90 in cat years.

Onyx: BEGONE, TH - OK I won't actually call the child that.


oh FINALLY.

Grenadine: Maybe this one'll look different to the rest of the family so she gets off our back-

Gene: Yes please. I don't really want another one after this, I've already gone shiny from stress-


Alejandra: All I can do now is drown my sorrows in the family's grilled cheese. I hope it was a child's breakfast.


Pepsi: Now THIS is what I wanted to do in my CloneLife..of course, after getting my fill of humans.

She's crushing Nerd Brain right now.


Pepsi: Sam...my love, hiiiii. Yes I'm the one with the pretty daughters. But - yes, I know I'm eighty. Are you coming over or not?


Rivella: Sorry. My 'mother' is unavailable. And Gin-Fizz lives in Britechester now. But there's always me.

Samuel: And what would I want with you?

Rivella: I was about to invite you swimming.

Samuel: Fine!


Rivella: God I hate this creepy twat.

Samuel: What was that?!

Rivella: Why, nothing, handsome.


Rivella: Our new pool-house is in rather a sorry state. It's...under construction.

Samuel: Not a problem, now come join me!


Rivella:...Aaand you're already right in my space. Whatever. Gimme a minute, sweetie?


Bellini:....Why do we have a new pool-house? We already have a really nice pool.

Uh...

Bellini: Oh f- not again! I thought she was over that phase. If I have to speak to a policeman I'm gonna cut a bitch.


Rivella: Goodbye forever, Samuel.


Just imagine them yelling around the rocket.

Pepsi: What are you doing here?

Sprite: This is better than watching Mum go swimming with some creep in our new shitty poolhouse!

Pepsi: Why'd Rivella built a poolhouse? We have a nice outdoor pool!

Sprite: Beats me!


Aaaand finally, Sangria.

Sangria: Brb, channelling all my feelings about my family dysfunction into violin practice.


Sangria: So...why is there a shack outside?

Bellini You really don't know? 

Sangria: I kinda do, given what's happened to Aperol's dad. It's so awful...

Bellini: I know, there better not be an inquest. Or, worse..a new sibling!

Sangria: What is wrong with this family?


Sprite: Heeeey girl, come on in.

Ashlee: Uh, Sprite? I'm over here.

Sprite: Oh, sorry. Gotta practice your inflections, amirite?


Ashlee: Excellent material, right?

Sprite:  Oh, definitely. I'm gonna use this to keep Laura in my pocket forever.

Ashlee: Can't believe she'd trust me like that.

Sprite: I know, it's almost like we're supposed to be friends.

Ashlee: As if, this is all just for power.

Sprite: You know it!


Ashlee: That weirdo loner redhead from school is in your bathroom eating salad.

Sprite: Oh, ignore that and keep throwing the trash away, minion.


Samuel:...She never came back. Oh well, she did look good in that swimsuit. I'm out!

Lol no you're not, sorry dude.


Pepsi: Why are you eating that?

Sprite: Wrong leftovers?

Pepsi: There's a label!

Sprite: Fine, sorry. Whose were they?

Pepsi: Nobody's, it said 'Warning: could kill!'

Sprite: Mum's then.

Ashlee: Now this, this is a story. Pray tell, ladies?

Sprite: Aha, that's just...my crazy grandma being crazy, y'know!


Bellini: Cover our tracks please, Mother. I don't want to speak to anybody.

Rivella: Now what is she talking about, sweet prince? Silly girl!

Onyx: Don't condescend, we've known you way too long and we know exactly what's up.


Kezia: Look who's here.

Johnny:...And I'll be like Robin Hood, taking from the rich...running a crime gang, evading taxes! All for us, Bell! And that kid that's buffering inside you.

Kezia: Mhm. Suuuuure you'll do that.

Bellini: Kezia do you mind?

Kezia: Psh. It's a shame. She's so boring that Onyx is sleeping. Rivella's most boring kid isn't even that talented.

Sangria: I can hear you!

Kezia: Right. Sorry. How can I call you the most boring when Appleboy exists?

Sangria: Aperol.

Kezia: Exactly!

Sangria:...What?


Sangria: Aperol! Hi! I completed my aspiration!

Aperol: Good for you kid, it's not like we all did that too.

Sangria: If you're gonna be mean to me, you can have this nice plate of sushi. The Watcher's making  me take it back.

Aperol: For heaven's - do none of you read the labels?


WHOMST is haunting this gravestone? 


Sugar: This entire area smells like death and destruction!

Samuel: HELP

Berry: It's OK...you are no meal, cat...


The morning...

Rivella: So Mum died. Not Pepsi, she's still kicking. Woman snores like a train. My real mum.

Don't tell me you have latent issues with her.

Rivella: I think those have been blatant my entire life. She ignored me, then put me in charge of my siblings to run off with her wife. There. Blatant.


Sangria: :( Why do we keep getting calls about relatives we never knew, Sprite?

Sprite: Beats me, kid. Now, do you think $5 is a good price for a mourning veil or should I check eBay?

Sangria:...Don't even know why I bothered talking to you.


Rivella: No need to be sad when I have an Onyx around. You can fill every void in my soul, sweet prince!

Onyx: I mean, I'm getting pretty old-

Rivella: Shhhhhh


Samuel's still here.

Samuel: It's almost as if...they want revenge. But why, I've been so nice and complimentary, even let the old lady-

Nah, she let you. Enjoy your fate!


Samuel: Can't...stay...up....this is a human l-uuuuurgh! *sinks*


Grim: Miss Rivella. Thought you'd be happy to see me.

Rivella: I am, about this idiot who drowned by accident in my poolhouse. I'm rather upset about my mother.

Grim: I suppose everyone has loved ones.

Rivella: Well, sure. But...did she say anything? About any of us?

Grim: Let me think...Cola Kahanui, nee Sutherland? She said...take me to Ivy. And. And something about the G girls.

Rivella: So not me then.

Grim: ...


Grim: Anyway, thanks for the extra soul! Might get a promotion for this  one, whoooohoo!

Rivella: Yeah...good for you, Grim.

Kezia: Oh so you completed your final goal, Riv. How do you feel?

Rivella: Meh. The void remains.

Pepsi; Didn't you think she'd be happier, Grim?

Grim: Sure. Whatever. Do you guys have Hulu?

Kezia: Yeah, password's onyx43.

Pepsi: Well, thanks for taking his soul. Prick...


Rivella went to eat the cake, and I let her to get rid of the sadness.

Rivella: Well, Berry. If I must feel the void, I'd like the crushing sadness to depart. Take my emotions, take it all..

Berry: Stop monologuing! I hunger for a meal...


Kezia: Welcome to my shack.

Rivella: Why, thank you.

Kezia: Artistry can help you with the void...why do you think I paint so much?

Rivella: I dunno. Avarice?

Kezia: OK that, but also because...I dunno, feelings. I'm bad at this.


Kids are home and useless check!

Sprite: C'mon Bell, get off your phone and play to win or go home!

Bellini: We are at home. And this won't take a second. Just getting updates...and there he is, alone at home eating cereal. Better not be waiting for anyone-

Sprite: UGH your man ain't all that, pretty sure you're the ONLY girl he could get. So quit stalking him and play the game!


Sangria: Can you be my friend, cat? I'm sad...

Onyx: Mmm, fine I guess.

Sangria: Really? Thank you!

Onyx: That's a pretty sad overreaction, I don't suddenly love you like I do your moth - CRAP.


Dammit San why do you have to be so cute even when you're stretching?

Sangria: I'm not stretching, I'm doing my interpretative take on the chicken dance.


Our favourite couple, Gen 1's Nix, are out haunting.

Lux: We're the only real couple in this legacy.

Nicola: Sometimes I'm ashamed of where this family's gone.

Lux: You got yourself into that when you married a Sutherland. Now I'mma go work out, those urns are TINY.


Sprite: I've got all I needed out of that grief shebang. Take it away, Berry. Let 'em eat cake.

 Berry: Quit pissing around and give me my meal...


Bellini: #2ndtrimester #baby #teenparenting Now that'll be a good one for Insta, you can even see my boobs!

Lux: Oh lord...she said what? Maybe Nic has a point.

Oh get off your high horses, you old biddies.

Lux: Meh, I guess we were scammers.


Pepsi: Thank you for indulging an old lady in her last days, Isaiah.

Isaiah: Eh, you were the best I've ever had.

Pepsi: Why thank you.

Maybe he hasn't got around much.

Pepsi: Anyway would you like one last round before I'm off?


After the deed...

Sangria: UH, why are you in the bathroom? Also the science shower is making a real weird sound.

Isaiah: Uh...I'm a friend of your grandma's?

Sangria:....Right. I've had enough of that. Please leave now. Tell her on the way out to stop breaking the damn science shower. Also, hope you were safe.

Isaiah: How do you-

Sangria: Listen, I'm the youngest of four and I hear a lot. My older brother always muttered it at their backs.


Sangria: Well, here goes! Independence, one step closer!


Sangria: OK, I'm aware of the vibe I cultivate, but this is too much.

Don't worry I'mma fix it.


Sangria: Much better. For one thing, I now have a chin.

San here is self-assured with the bestselling author aspiration.

Next time Bellini is gonna have the baby, grow up, and get out.
