These are old pictures from like 2022. Before a three year break I took. There's a chapter and a half of them.
Gimlet: Hi! Welcome back to my Generation! Anyway I'm a teacher now.
That's Gimlet's career, randomly rolled by the wonderful randomiser.
Gimlet: Heh...seriously who let that happen? At least I can pass on the magic to questioning young minds and all.
I don't think it's that kind of-
Gimlet: Goodnight!
But hold on a second, Gimlet, cos this is now your bedroom.
Gimlet: Yessss who knew being heir had its perks?
Idk, everyone?
Anyway while Gimlet slumbered, Sangria continued making slow progress through her Neighbourhood Confidante aspiration.
Yasmin: I don't need you to tell me shit. I don't even know you that well.
Sangria: I'm just saying, you should probably talk to your husband.
Carl: Did someone say husband? Hi, I'm Sangria's!
Yasmin: *mutter* Not everyone can have some insane and friendly himbo, Sangria-
Vermouth: Yeah, that's my mum! She's great. Hey, if I poke this girl on Facebook do you think she'll forgive me?
Yasmin: Your mother should start giving her advice to her actual family.
Vermouth: That's not really an answer, miss.
Later...
Gimlet: Yay, cartoons!
Tommy: Hiss, away with the devil's screen!
Gimlet:...I can't wait until you die, cat.
:( Gin-Fizz died. She leaves behind two children, two grandchildren and her older sister Grenadine, who remains alive due to her Active trait.
I'll miss her a lot, even if her role in the house was mostly to be ignored and help raise Sangria's eldest sibling Aperol.
Onyx: I still hate y'all for making me wear this in death. I haven't seen properly for about fifty years.
Nice to see you too, Onyx.
Though honestly I'd prefer you to the currently alive cat. Every day he finds a new way to be stupid.
Tommy: Hiss, fuck this laundry basket in particular!
Gimlet: See Tommy? This, THIS is why you can't watch me pee anymore! Now out!
Onyx: Get it off get it off get it offfff
Gimlet: Ugh this feels like a sauna. I am simply exhausted.
You've been at it for like 5 minutes you diva.
Gimlet: You're the one who made my outfits 90% jumpers.
Gimlet: Right, I'm turning the heat down.
I'm...not sure that's how you do it.
Gimlet: Well I discovered the Potion of Nausea anyway...hey maybe that's what I drank before! And that's why Stanley was yelling 'fool, don't drink that!'. I thought he was just being annoying.
Ribena was here for some reason.
Gimlet:...So? Away, woman, I am working on magical secrets-
Ribena: Looks like dirty bathwater.
Gimlet: You know nothing of magic!
Ribena: Right. Magic.
Gimlet: You don't believe me? Then you will DESPAIR!
Ribena: *sniffle* Why did you make me think of dead puppies? This is why Mum told me to stay away from this branch of the family!
Ribena: Boo!
Gimlet: Hey what the hell was that for? My magical energies are DELICATE, GAWD-
Way to dish it out and not take it Gimlet, you moron.
Tommy: Let me taste the rainbow dammit!
Carl: Just promise to stop rolling around in skunk spray and you can have all the rainbow you like.
Sangria: Why the hell did you people put your laundry outside.
Carl absolutely not.
Carl: San's the one who's disappointed in 2/3. I just wanna make her happy!
Gimlet's working from home, mainly so he'll have more time to practice his magic.
He needed a research archive machine thingy so...
Rivella: How dare this MAN move my sacred bed?
Sangria: Ew, ew, Tommy don't lick my foot there's something gross on your face.
Carl: Yeah I pulled him out of the bush this morning. You don't wanna know.
Sangria: I also don't wanna kick my cat but that might be where it's going if he doesn't stop.
Tommy: God fine, I'm leaving. Is this any way to treat a senior citizen?
Carl: That was some good sex there. Should we check on Gimlet?
Sangria:...What a weird time to bring that up, dear.
Sangria: Dayum those shoulders.
Karim: Please, ma'am, I'm a married man.
Sangria: Mhm, yeah, so am I-
Karim: You're a married man?
Sangria: Oh you know what I mean.
Pull yourself together woman.
Speaking of married people, hi Larissa.
Gimlet: Heyyyy-
Larissa: Heyyyy is there a reason you invited me here-
Gimlet: Just wanna catch up. Get to know you better and all. Plus, I'm supposed to ask for volunteers for the school I work at now, and it seemed like a you thing.
Larissa: How nice....who let you work at a school?
Gimlet: Anyway, how's the husband, how's the baby?
Larissa: The baby's great.
Carl was on the phone to Kahlua.
...Was she talking shit on the horse from Tangled?
Kahlua: Yeah he likes apples way too much, y'know.
Carl: No?
Gimlet: You're probably even greater than your baby.
Larissa: Thanks?
Gimlet: Seriously you're hella fine. If only being a klepto could help to steal your heart.
Larissa: As we've discussed my heart was 'stolen' when you were still a kid.
Gimlet:...Was it truly?
Larissa: Dave has a nice personality.
Gimlet: Anyway, tell me more about yourself. You're not just someone's pretty purple wife, you're Larissa!
Larissa: You don't even know me either!
Gimlet: Well I'd like to!
Larissa: Fine. I love art, I'm creatively unfulfilled and maybe I did get married too young! Happy?
Gimlet:...Um, the second one's the lie?
Larissa: No that's not what we were doing.
Sangria: Gonna pretend my son isn't trying to sway a woman into committing adultery.
Gimlet: What should we be doing then?
Larissa: I'm sure you're thinking of something.
Sangria: *has left in disgust*
Larissa: So...how about yourself? What gets you going?
Gimlet: Well, I'm super into magic right now. And I'm working at the school. And I've been feeling this weird compulsion to steal stuff.
Larissa: Huh. I knew you were interesting when you wondered onto my home lot for no reason.
Gimlet: Y'know, I just happened to be in the area.
(Lies, I made you talk to her.)
Gimlet: Seriously, everyone you live with is so boring though.
Larissa: Don't talk shit about my baby, Gimlet.
Gimlet: Yes that's totally who I meant.
Gimlet: -I'm just trying to make friends Mum.
Sangria: Son I wasn't born yesterday.
Gimlet:...Anyway can you please volunteer some time at the school I work at now.
Sangria: You work where? Why do I not know these things?
Gimlet: You don't ask!
Larissa: Thanks for hearing me out I guess. I probably will have to head off home.
Gimlet: Tell your baby I really do think he's cool, and think of me.
Larissa: I...I guess I will. But not like that. You're fun, but I really can't-
Gimlet: Yeahhh, I get it. Just keep in touch! Follow your dreams!
Todd: So. He's got a thing for alien hybrids then.
Larissa: Oh you're welcome to that weirdo.
Todd is still a teen, so not right now thx.
Larissa: Well I said that but he is a hot little piece...
Gimlet: That's cool, Rissa, just gotta pee.
Larissa: Crap he wasn't supposed to hear me.
Vermouth: Cool my food blog got a second follower.
Larissa: Congratulations?
Vermouth:...Wait why are you in the house?
Larissa: Your brother invited me. He's very kind.
Vermouth: That cannot be the same Gimlet.
Todd; I thought our little flirtation would go somewhere, and now you're talking to the purple woman-
Gimlet: I can talk to whoever I want, Todd. Don't be such a teenager about it.
Todd: How am I too immature for you when you're the most immature person I know?
Gimlet: That doesn't make logical SENSE!
Gimlet: Why are you still cute tho you annoying piece of-
Todd: Ah, well now that I got that off my chest I'm not even mad!
So both of Gimlet's current potentials are...interesting people.
Gimlet: Well of course, I only demand the most interesting and - fuck, I died again.
Carl: Zzz...just heal yourself..zzz...
Gimlet: Shush, random hobo.
Gimlet that is your dad.
Gimlet: Oh shit, is it? Doesn't he have a bed.
Gimlet got invited to duel Mathew.
Mathew: Stop having a staring contest with Ricardo and let me kick your ass.
Gimlet: I just need to parse the sadness of this 'badass' makeover.
Ricardo: You're the one who added all that jewellery for no reason.
Gimlet: Well you're the one with-
Ricardo: Greying bowlcut, yes. Can we please get to the duelling already?
Gimlet: Still want me to get on with it you piece of slime?
Mathew: Alright, OW, I surrender-
Gimlet: Too fuckin' late!
Well shit.
Mathew: Quite a good feint wasn't it?
Gimlet: OWWW my bones.
After that humiliating loss Gimlet picked up some tomes and went home to brood and read.
...Who? And why didn't either of your parents get this call?
Gimlet and Vermouth: I always knew we were adopted.
Nope. This game just doesn't make sense sometimes.
Sangria: Oh Tommy, my mother would tell me if I had a secret dead relative kicking around? Right?
Rivella: I would probably tell Gim. He's kind of cool, despite what Nicola has to say about it.
Sangria:...So?
Rivella: I don't know anything about this person get over it!
Rivella: Dammit nothing I do on this computer is working prop-
Nicola: The monitor's off.
Rivella: Shit. I'm losing my touch, aren't I?
Ah, aren't the ghosts always good fun.
Gimlet: Not the cake! Egads, I dreamed it might end this way!
Rivella, still in the living room: I made it...to be nice.
Gimlet: Oh nice try Grandma, you never do or did anything to be 'nice'!
Gimlet: Come on Dad, put on some clothes!
Carl: *sniff sniff* This fish had to die for this mediocre meal...
Gimlet: Exactly. Stop letting Vermouth cook. I could Grand Delicioso all our food problems away.
He still only works from home.
Gimlet: Dunno how to get a start on writing these school reports. I've never seen these children before in my life...
...
Gimlet: -Eh, I'll make it up.
Sangria: Well hello old friend, it's always good to catch up with-
Ashlee: We've literally never been friends, what do you want?
Sangria: A little birdie told me of some upheaval in your life, and I thought I could-
Ashlee: Ugh, fucking Sprite, always gossiping-
Carl: Hey guys is my hand still crackling? I want a third opinion.
Sangria: Carl who was the second?
Soon enough it was Magic Realm time. So Gimlet introduced himself to the new practical sage.
Gimlet: Well looks like there's sparks flying.
Griffin: Stop doing that you're burning our hands.
Gimlet:...Why would I do this on purpose?
Griffin: So you can't control your magic. Even worse.
Gimlet became an Adept Spellcaster from this training session.
Gimlet: Oh boy nobody's ever called me adept before. Thank you, Griffin.
Griffin:...I'm not a target for your daddy issues, kid.
Gimlet: Um, I'm actually 22-
And then Gimlet ditched everything to go hang out with Larissa.
Larissa: Oh please you practically invited me out here and you know it.
Gimlet: I simply sent a very happy text. Because it's always a good day when I speak to you.
Larissa: You know, it's always nice for me to see you too.
Gimlet: Wow, and it only took a scenery change and like an hour of SimTime to admit that.
Larissa: Oh, breaking the fourth wall? Gimlet, you minx.
Random old lady: Really? Eyebrow piercings? What is the world coming to?
Larissa:...How the fuck is that your business, lady?
Gimlet: Ooh, that's what I would have said. With even more fucks.
Larissa: Yeah put a wig on you old b-
Larissa: Why you trying to hug me like that?
Gimlet: This girl gives out so many mixed signals.
Larissa: I'm married!
Gimlet: I know that! That hasn't stopped our lil sliver of a romantic bar has it?
Larissa:...I'll give you a friendly one.
Gimlet: And I'll take it.
Larissa: Bless your heart, Gimlet. You really are a good friend.
Gimlet: I can't stay mad at you, Rissa.
Larissa: That's what makes you different from my husband!
Larissa: And you've been so good to me. Here's an embracing hug. I changed my mind.
I give up. This woman doesn't know what she wants.
Larissa: No, I really think I do now-
Gimlet: Haaaang on gotta piss.
RIP Grena. That's the last of Generation 3 gone :(. She leaves behind three daughters and two, soon to be three grandkids.
Kezia: Dammit boy can you put my bed back already.
Gimlet: Why, do you need to cry in it or something?
Kezia:...Yes. A bit. Maybe a lot.
Gimlet:...You can use my old one I guess.
Pepsi: Hey! Breaker of the matriarchy. Your mother tells me you're chasing a married woman.
Gimlet: I mean...well...look she's really hot and fun OK!
Pepsi: I was about to say that's my jam, do not get all defensive.
Gimlet: Hmmm. OK, Great-Grandma Pepsi. We shall be allies.
Pepsi: So does everybody know I'm not Cola now?
Gimlet: Who's Cola?
Vermouth: Mother why are you making a cake?
Sangria: I...I don't know. It was a compulsion. I simply mixed up the batter and now...cake.
Vermouth: That's concerning. The ghost's compulsions are spreading.
Anyway later that morning the cat died.
Tommy: *gasp* Fuck...that...laundry basket.
Famous last words.
Sangria: Goodbye Tommy. You've lived a good life.
Gimlet: Maybe so but why are you smiling like that Mum?
Grim: Yeah that's messed up. Maybe there's a piece of your mother in you after all.
Sangria: You're just gonna...watch my son in the shower, huh?
Grim:...I see more than you'll ever know, lady.
Sangria: Yeah, alright pervert.
Gimlet: So how are things on your end?
Kahlua: I'm fighting with my husband. I swear I'm about to fight HIM.
Gimlet: Don't be silly, Lua...you weigh like a hundred soaking wet, you'd never win.
Kahlua: Well...thanks, Gim.
Gimlet: You're goddamn welcome!
Kahlua: What's up around here anyway?
Gimlet: The cat died.
Kahlua: Oh. Guess I'll miss that little asshole...why are you so happy?
Kahlua:...Anyway sometimes I think I should have just pursued Bobby harder but he's also a dick so...who knows.
Gimlet: Lua I'm working-
Kahlua: Psh. who would give you a job? Dish about your love life, c'mon!
Gimlet:...It's confusing, as of now.
Meanwhile Carl is fully sucking at his job.
Carl: I hate Robotics and I'll get out of it or die trying.
Then die. You're maxing that skill and career and I mean it.
Vermouth is...feeling some type of way.
Vermouth: I'm ready to get my flirt on bb. Lemme just fire off a text.
Kimberly: I can't believe I invited him out here.
Vermouth: I can't believe that worked!
Kimberly: So what, you were texting entirely to make my day worse?
Vermouth: More like out of distant hope.
Vermouth: But never mind that, the BEAST is here.
Kimberly: Yep, definitely a mistake.
Kimberly: Did you roll in garbage today?
Vermouth: I think it's just my cologne.
Kimberly: You think? And if you smell like this on purpose that's actually worse.
It was soon after this point that I switched back to Gimlet. He might not have sealed the deal with Larissa but he's closer than his brother.
Next time...we'll see!
