The Name Game

3 year break. Maybe more because I really neglected this file. Like, it could actually be 4 years.

Sorry guys.

I left Robin and Luzija about to WooHoo apparently.

Luzija: Oh GOD, FINALLY-

Preza's been pregnant this whole time.

Impreza: I'm gonna go give Fredrick the love bug. Wait, no, that sounds like an STI.

Her fiance lives here too. Just while she finishes her Serial Romantic aspiratoin.

Impreza: And? I know all that.

I've forgotten.

There's a lot of elders in the house too. Despite us picking the younger children for heiresses (meaning two pretty long generations), Tosca and Jude are both still alive due to being a mermaid, and the Bodybuilder aspiration.

Tosca: Haven't I suffered enough, let me sleep.

Jude is the Active half of this couple.

Jude: Ain't been active like that in a while with my wife. They couldn't have used another bathroom?

This is in fact where Luzija and Robin are doin' it, so.

Jude: I thought she was the considerate one. All relative, isn't it?

Cybil: I'm still pretty young, ya know, I got it-

Maybe in comparison to your decrepit parents.

And that's everyone important.

Cybil: Well I've got a dog too and she's missing. Then again, she has been pissing me off. Meh.

Fredrick: Uh, you're forgetting someone.

No I'm not.

Impreza: I *retch* couldn't forget you if I tried.

Fredrick: Still in disbelief that you're mine, my darling.

Impreza:...I wanna go play video games.

Fredrick: I understand, I'll get a conveniently timed odd job now.

Luzija: Ooh, you know how to wear a girl out, Robin...

Jude:...I was just on my way out. Literally. I'm going to pass away after hearing that.

Robin: Sorry, Mr S :(

Luzija: Oh don't worry baby, he'll get over it.

Jude: I always do.

Azure: Hey, I'm actually here! I must be important too.

Cybil: No the Watcher saw you hanging around our relationship panels in your underthings and felt bad.

I don't care when a townie's CC gets deleted, but she is a part of the main family.

Azure: Cybil this book is really incoherent. Did you write it?

Robin: You know, the oceans are more polluted by the day, as is the air. We only have one world, it's best to make good use of it.

Luzija: He's so compassionate and normal. Surely that'll make it work for me.

Jude: You're telling me this like I don't already know it. Talk to a real mover'n'shaker.

Robin: Yeah but I'm only Level 2 in this career and important people don't listen to me. Not that you're not important, uh-

They did this on their own by the way.

Luzija: Wanna feel my magic hands baby?

Robin: Y'know I think I might like this wellness thing.

Luzija: Ya don't say.

Impreza: Yeah...no.

I don't know why this old guy was one of her romance options.

Impreza: I don't think you were old when we met, but then again who can keep track of it all?

Brenton: I mean I have one wife, and one you...it's not that hard.

Brendan: Hey, congratulations, good to see you again-

Impreza: Sorry, are you implying that I'm pregnant?

Brendan: Uh, well...I mean it's a figure of speech-

Impreza: Because I AM, but you shouldn't be able to notice that yet!

Impreza: Yeah, take a picture it'll last longer.

Robin: I've been in this house for like 2 days and I've already learned just to ignore things.

Impreza: If you really distract me from my underlying sadness I'll take my top off next time,

Luzija: I was trying to dig for trash and I found the Heart of Sulani...pretty sure I could make a poem out of that.

Ask your mother, she's an accomplished author.

Luzija: There's no way I'm letting that woman hold anything over my head.

Because she has no job, her aspiration is successful lineage which she can't even do anything about for a bit, I'm just doing stuff she whims for. While intermittently skilling her wellness.

Luzija: This is the one true Heart of Sulani! You're destroying our very home! Robin said so.

I do NOT think that's what he said.

Azure: But it IS a collectible and I DID see it in a gift shop!

Fiona: LMAO what are you crying for? Is it cos you're a cuck?

Fredrick: No I'm just *sniff* jealous of that hat.

What do you even know Fiona nobody here even knows you.

Fiona: You'll never guess what I know-

Robin: Luzi do you think she'll sign up to my employer's mailing list-

Luzija: Now why the hell would I know?

Jude: Preza's running around on her man? Heard that one, thank you next.

Robin: Wait, really?

Number seven of eight.

Brendan: Boyfriend? That's pretty intense, we've only just reconnected.

Impreza: It's not a re if I didn't give a fuck before. In fact, I still don't now. Just say yes, it's not like I'm ever going to see you again.

Brendan: Ah. Dang.

Bu 3-4 years irl time has actually brought Impreza an option via game updates.

Impreza: How do you feel about polyamory? Or at least, me doing whatever I want.

Jude: Why do I keep walking in on this shit, don't you people have bedrooms?

Tosca, our quasi-retired social media star is livestreaming in this same room.

Tosca: You're picking up on that, right chat? I knew I should have become a family vlogger. Everybody here is insane...oh no, especially me.

Julian: Heard you're looking for a-

Impreza: Absolutely not do you think I don't want to do better than that for my last?

Jude: Again, can people please stop having these chats in the kitchen?

Cybil: Seconded. I keep accidentally writing them into my book.

Fredrick: Don't worry Mr S! All will be joyous!

Jude: When did YOU get that? How is it still going around the house?

Impreza: Why are you still in my face.

Fredrick: And yeah, he's icky, get someone better.

Impreza: Noted. Yeuch. Did a blind man pick out that jacket?

Fredrick: I wouldn't have picked that out for my worst enemy.

Julian: You two don't have to shit talk me to my face.

Impreza, Kenichi: BLESSINGS OF THE ANCIENT-

Jude: Yeah Cybil brought a fuckin' cult home from the jungle didn't she.

Cybil: Goddamn I must be slipping. I can't believe I outed myself like that.

Impreza: Can you please just leave.

Julian: Nope. I'm gonna beat your high score out of revenge.

Impreza: No, you won't. We might all be insane but we're actually pretty accomplished as a family.

Cybil: I brought masterpieces upon masterpieces home from the jungle, yet I cannot create my own! Egads! Something has Done this to me, I am sure.

She has seldom sleepy so she gets to rant into the night.

Luzija: While keeping me awake. Why did Impreza get the annexe again?

Like mother like daughter.

Luzija: No, NO, that's not me, begone oh demons of my mind and - Robin you weren't supposed to see this!

Robin: *yawn* Love you as you are, Luzi.

Luzija: Wanna see some real ancient joy?

Robin: I think you're younger than me, Luzi.

Luzija: I definitely am, you had this whole thing about it. But never mind, let me rephrase. Wanna bang in the shower?

Cybil welcomed her dog back.

Cybil: Ugh, where have you been, you reek - and don't do that in the sand, it gets too messy! Gah!

Impreza: Why didn't Luzija get the annexe? I need to be near a toilet.

Grass is greener and all that.

This is also when I realised taken me like a week of Preza's adulthood plus 4 ish years to realise her nose rings are inconsistent.

Fredrick: BEGONE old woman! Myself and the bunnies need to take care of business.

Cybil: Now what does that have to do with your ugly shoes?

Bea: I can do some 'business' on 'em if you like. Cyb.

Cybil: Aw. I should have missed you more.

Seven times.

Impreza: Yeah I KNOW I've been sick sev-

No, if you were heir you would have done this seven times.

Impreza: *retch* OK, small blessings then.

Robin: Ancient joy! I got it, Luzi.

Luzija: That's my darling. Go and save the world today.

Robin: Again, I am low level so it's probably going to be mailers-

Jude: Daughter, I fear it may be the end for me soon. I'm trusting you to look after this house-

Cybil: Eh, about time. And Luzi has it in hand.

Jude: I think she's more fragile than she looks.

Cybil: Whatever, shouldn't mum be having this chat? She's the actual founder, you just got dragged into it.

Tosca: Come one, come all. You guys will never guess what happened - oh don't look like that, Timmy!

Fredrick: I can't believe these oldies are getting more action than me.

Tosca: So you told her about the knitted stuff, right? It's important to keep the yarn happy.

Jude: Darling you might want to sit somewhere else because I'm going to make out with your grandmother.

Impreza:...Wow, I can't wait to get old so I can just say shit like this.

Tosca: You already do though.

Jude: I'm actually modelling the behaviour I wish you girls would exhibit in the damn kitchen.

Luzija: I can't believe I used to get more customers when I did this out of my bedroom. I mean, a lot of men have stopped liking my ads.

Eh it doesn't matter we don't need the money.

Luzija: Yeah but I've been standing here for a while and I think I'm going to lose my mind. Well. Lose it harder.

Tosca: It still feels just as good to kiss you as it did when we were twenty, love.

Jude: Good to hear, wanna test something else out?

Tosca: Oh you!

Jude: That definitely won't feel the same though. I used to be much more flexible.

Yven's here for a visit. Everyone shows up to this lot dazed and I'm really not sure why.

Yven: The Knitters have called me.

Luzija: Mother I think you're just humouring me.

Cybil: Well I'm the only one doing so, dear. What's the protocol again, bend and spread?

Luzija: If you're not going to take this seriously-

Man what the hell. My instinct was that it was Neighbourhood Stories...but actually, she died of old age per the family tree. It was just her time. I forgot she wasn't a mermaid, and also Tosca and Jude aren't dead, so I wasn't thinking about their kids dying.

This really bummed me out actually.

Luzija: Mum, Auntie Thirza just died.

Cybil: *angry muttering*

Luzija: That's a lot of expletives for a dead woman, Mum.

Cybil: I'm getting tense just thinking about this family lore!

Luzija: Good thing I have magic fingers!

Fredrick: Doors are for peasants. Nice one, Preza, by the way.

Impreza: Hey you don't know-

Davis: We're making small talk, I don't judge by reputation. And she's engaged, I'm married-!

Davis: Honestly, your primary reputation should be that of a genuinely delightful young woman.

Impreza: Oh, you!

Yven: Ugh, I can't believe you kicked me out for that loser.

Jude: Eh, he's not so bad. Who else would put up with Preza - as much as I love the girl?

Fredrick: What's cooking good looking?

Jude: Plus he says the right things.

Impreza: But you know, a girl doesn't earn a reputation for nothing...

Davis: Did I say I was married? Because that-

Impreza: Oh, I really don't care.

Preza that's his nose.

Preza: Close enough!

Jude: Why is it always ME-

Also Jude completed his Big Happy Family aspiration. I gave him successful lineage but it really doesn't matter because he's got 1 day left per MCCC.

Jude: Which is fine. I mean, there's no reason to outlive one's own children.

Tosca:...Is there a reason you're in my bedroom, rifling through my wool?

Fredrick: UHHH, no-

Tosca: I mean, you could have just asked me for help. What is it with young people and thinking I'm scary?

Fredrick: Preza is really adamant I stay in here and knit.

I wonder why.

Fredrick: Especially after I was kind of wishy washy on the polyamory thing.

If she could do a wellness aspiration I might stick with it...but I am getting slightly bored of having her hang around. Maybe she can return to it once her lineage is successful.

Anyway. Luzi is now a politican.

Luzija: I am advocating for less mischief in this world! Let's do it in a safe and controlled environment. For example, not this house!

What better cause for an Erratic Childish sim to support?

Luzija: I don't wanna think about that!

My little bundle of contradictions.

Guess who's in there.

Impreza: GRANDPA, GET OUT-

Jude: Ugh. Whatever. I can't be phased now. Why does nobody clean the toilets around here?

Tosca is taking losing her firstborn fairly hard.

Tosca: And I just saw the purple sign from above telling me my husband's due to go soon too. I don't know what I'm gonna do without him.

Aw, Tossie...you're gonna go like 2 days later.

Tosca: How do you know that?

Tosca: Well dang I guess you're not wrong. Also her name is fucked and I only realised when I came back to edit this chapter.

Impreza: You wanna be my boyfriend so we can never see each other again?

Davis: I mean, I thought we had a good time together, and I'd like to-

Impreza: Dude. Go home to your wife. I'm getting married myself.

Davis: So then WHY DID YOU-

Impreza: Because I'm a bad person, why do you think???

Before Jude goes he's going to at least make sure Luzi gets a good start on the Charisma she needs for work.

Jude: You have to emote, Luzi, it's all in the face.

Luzija: But faces can come off so mischievous on camera! I do not need to start day 1 being called a hypocrite!

Latoya:...You know, sometimes I think I got married too soon because of the issues I have with my father.

Tosca: Who are you again? You seem too emotionally open to be one of Preza's lot, and Luzija doesn't really have friends.

Latoya: You know, I could actually use some friends-

Tosca: Well don't pick me. I'm marked for death.

Impreza: My time is all yours now, darling.

Fredrick: Oh, say it ain't so!

Impreza:...because I still feel like a void of a person after all of that attention!

Fredrick: And I can fill that void. I can fill anything you like.

Impreza: This is what I deserve, I guess! Cheap innuendo.

Latoya:...Is this what love looks like?

Robin, back from work and promoted: Not my love. I love two things. My Luzija, and our beautiful ocean-

Latoya: Ugh, wait. I already got an email about this today.

Robin: We're doing good conservation work!

Impreza: Well. I do love you anyway, Fredrick Goth.

Fredrick: And I you, you beautiful weirdo. Who else would put up with all of your shit anyway?

Robin: Yeah, you're friendly enough Preza but I would have been gone-

Impreza: But you have your shit together Robin. You have options.

Fredrick: And yet he's dating Luzi.

Robin: Hey now-

Cybil is dealing with Thirza's death in her own way.

Cybil: Ah, in the end that man was an idiot and she was still my big sister. She gave a lot of time to this household and all. And my parents are going to be gone soon...maybe I should have listened to dad's big talk.

Jude: Isn't it nice to just stop and take everything in?

Bea: Move along old timer.

Jude: Hey now, that could be the last thing you ever say to me.

Impreza: Oh sister of mine. We truly might be the only ones who understand each other.

Luzija: I don't understand any of your actions at all.

Fredrick: Hey, what happened to undivided attention?

Impreza: My baby sister, Fredrick.

Fredrick: Well how I was supposed to know? She's...forgettable.

The two active girls of the house are working out together. Although you really shouldn't be doing that Cybil.

Cybil: Why not? I can still kick her ass, can't I?

Impreza: You shouldn't. I'm carrying your grandchild.

Cybil: I can get another!

Cybil: DAMMIT, MCCC, wrong child! Who gives a fuck about Sanjiv?

Fredrick it's two in the morning.

Fredrick: But they're watching me! I need to eat my fears!

Cybil: Thunderstorm? Sigh, looks like I need to sacrifice my tits to the weather gods again.

Bea: I really don't see-

Cybil: Then again I already did to my children and age.

Luzija: Egads! Help! I will NOT take on that role, foul voices! I would rather - OW OK that hurt!

Fredrick: Electric blue in a scifi piece? Daring today, aren't we?

Jude: That is my art.

Fredrick: Right...hey that smells good can I have some?

Luzija: Should the dog be doing that?

Robin: I'm sure she's fine! And we should all be reusing water where we can, you know-

Luzija: I will not drink off the floor from a puddle. Because that would be crazy. And I'm not-

Robin: Yes, yes, I know dear.

Jude: I better not be walking in on anything.

Impreza: Nah don't worry. This one is my favourite so I'll actually use the bed.

Fredrick: Yeah, the problem's right there, Mr S. That toilet's leaking, and we can't have Preza leaning to fix it in her condition-

Jude: So what's your excuse?

Bea: Someone say puddles?

Robin: My sister just spent ten minutes gossiping about my niece's school life, now that's real crazy-

Luzija:...So she told you about how her kid is doing? I know you're just trying to make me feel better.

Robin: Uhh...I appreciate the view dear but-

Luzija: This is the real me, Robin. I do my best, but there are some things you'll have to get used to.

Luzija: Rightyo, time for a sane shower like a sane person-

Jude: I see the lights!

Bea: I see a wall.

:( RIP Jude. 3 aspirations, 3 maxed skills, a slew of kids and grandkids raised, and he kept Tosca mostly on track. Those two were really in love.

Unfortunately Tosca is at work so she's missing it.

Jude: 's alright. I wouldn't want her seeing me like this.

Luzija: Must stick to the plan. Must have my normal shower.

Grim: Girl this is the least normal thing you could do.

Bea: It's me! It's my time to go.

Grim: Nice try you're not even old yet.

Luzija: Yes, the normal thing. *cries* Ohhh Grandpa! What will we do without you...

Grim: I'm not gonna stroke your ego and call you normal, I have a job to do here.

Luzija: I'm doing better than the rest of them.

Impreza: I sense depression on the wind.

Cybil: Well, if all the showers are occupied-

Fredrick: They most certainly aren't and - ow, this is why I say doors are for the lower-class.

Impreza: You say bullshit.

Robin:...Are we going to investigate that thud, or-

Impreza: Duh Robin it's granddad we all know that.

Anyway, Grim did his thing and Jude's gone.

I miss him already.

Luzija: That was so...short and brutal and undignified! I can't believe it's coming for...my mum?

Cybil got a fear of death from this happening. Pretty logical, actually.

Luzija: Well. I think he'd want us to carry on the legacy and all. Shall we have the first child of generation 4?

Robin: If you're up for it after such a harrowing-

Luzija: I just don't want to think.

Impreza: First child of generation 4 who???

Yven had her.

Impreza: Lol but who remembers him?

Thought you were busy being afraid of death, Cyb.

Cybil: I'm leaving my own legacy!

Sigh.

Impreza: Welp, my fiance's about to kill himself too, and my mother's bare arse is rubbing all over the workout machine. How much worse could the day get?
