Happy Monday, Misty.
Misty: Yes, of course. My final week with those peons known as my 'classmates'. I feel I'm quite above them, you know.
I do know.
Loudred: Where've you been hiding, sexy? Holding out on me?
Anika: *giggle* I've been practicing my charisma and debate skills, love.
Loudred: You've never had trouble charming me. Always been my no.1 friend. Apart from that time in high school I thought I was in love with Vicente.
Anika:...Thanks Loud. Love you.
Anika: You say YES! God Haunter, a girl like that, we were all surprised when - I've said too much.
Haunter: Oh I know what you all think.
Loudred: My first summer day, sadly Anika told me I have to play Kokomo outside-
...I haven't fixed your hot weather outfit have I.
Loudred: Don't. I like it.
Loudred: But Watcher, if it makes you happy I'll wear a sweater and woooo pass out from heatstroke-
Just go to work.
Misty is going to exercise her university option.
Misty: Of course, I'll be attending from home. There is no need to live among the hubbub. Dad, I can deal with. Tens of younger, unfamiliar versions of him? No thank you.
Anika:...Sometimes I forget just how young you are, Jaiden.
He's about Piplup's age.
She also has a baby brother because mermaids are stupidly long-lived and Ukupanipo Hekekia fucked around and found out.
Anika: Anyhow it's a brief reprieve from my endless toiling at skills.
Both research and debate and charisma are so endlessly fucking slow.
Anika: Atmosphere's nice. Sea breeze and all.
Haunter: I knew you all couldn't last without me.
Haunter you asked to come over.
Misty is complaining about everything.
Misty: - half of them are still scared of me cos of shit you did, none of them have anything interesting to say - they're all idiots! And I'll tell them that myself.
Haunter: Maybe it's not my fault they don't like you
Misty: NO. It's nothing to do with me, there's nothing wrong with me!
Anika: You know I hate to say this but Haunter might have a point.
Misdreavus: This is actual, legitimate betrayal.
Loudred: I'm so stressed out with all these rules and schedules, I simply want to unwind-
Anika: You're not the only person to have ever had a job...but I do want to have sex with you.
Loudred: So...
Anika: So let's go, silly. Shower, it'll make the cleanup easier.
Raj: I miss my precious kitchen implements...and my family too. Obviously.
Raj:...No takers? I thought this family would miss my food.
It's three in the morning, Raj.
Loudred and Anika are aunt and uncle to two new nieces. Also it looks like Jaiden married the girl he knocked up so good for him.
Kids are being creatively productive before school.
Misdreavus: Skip I think I like your company best this way.
Skiploom: I've not said a word in an hour.
Misty: Exactly!
I find it funny that Misty does have an affinity for metal music.
Misty: It's technically excellent and well-composed with intricate arrangements-
Loudred: But how am I supposed to DANCE to it?
Misty: Oh dad you're so pedestrian sometimes.
An annoying glitch kicked Misty out of school. Using the time to have her chat to this guy Kelvin.
Kelvin:...Wdym do you want to hang out?
Misty: I dunno, I've heard people say it before.
I actually have a club of potential Misty love interests.
Steven: Dude we're actually in the house.
Kolton: I can't believe we were allowed in after the festival debacle.
Misty: Welcome to my home! I'm being made to do this.
Steven: Yeah I got a text from your dad that he wants you to do something rebellious-
Kelvin: Dude come on we weren't supposed to spill the beans.
Oh and you're having a terrible time?
Misty: This is NOTHING. As is he. I like my writing and good culture-
Steven: Well I can step to the side-
Misty: That won't be necessary.
Kolton: Aw guys, you gotta look at-
Misty: I don't enjoy people's memes as a rule.
Misty: Now I know that's a party foul-
Steven: Though you don't like parties!
Misty: Exactly what I was thinking!
Steven: Do you have a dollhouse or something cool like an action figure here-
Misty:...Well yes. They're my brother's, he's eight-
Steven: Aw man. I love that shit.
Steven is childish lol. Quite a contrast to Misty's snobbery.
Anika:...Our Misty? Friendly and relatable?
Steven: Yeah, she's really cool. Like if I was the Purple Protector I'd totally come and save her, you feel me?
Kolton's a loner so he's tense.
Kolton: But who is this guy and why is he so HAPPY?
Misty: I find it disconcerting too, but I have been instructed to give it a chance.
Kelvin:...I've never felt so ostracised for being a naturally smiley and friendly person.
Gathering ended soon after this.
Misty: Thank God, I mean they're alright guys but I'm TIRED
And Skip completed his aspiration.
Auntie Toxi came for a visit.
Loudred: I am so proud of you for skipping school to socialise today.
Misdreavus: Thank GOD I've still got time for homework.
Toxi: I know it's not my place to question my brother's parenting, but...
Misty: No, no, this is good for my personal development. Supposedly.
SKIP I told you to say hi to your aunt and she wasn't in here.
Skiploom: GOD that's so much more than I wanted to see!
Loudred:...My good friend Morgan died. This is the beginning of it, right? I'm gonna end up a friendless old man.
You and Anika will be there for each other til the end. And Misty will be in the house with at least one of your grandkids.
Loudred: Oh God. Two of them! I love her but that's not encouraging.
Misty: Dad, just go to bed.
Skiploom: It's not even my bedtime yet.
Loudred: Exactly! I'm not *yawn* old I can totally stay up-
Hooray! But also, what happened to the proposal.
Haunter: I mean do I really want to be tied down so young-
Kristine: We're having a child together you idiot.
Mariska: Psh girl you work way too hard, doing what exactly? How important can it0
Anika: Well I'm in charge of the entirety of the West Windenburg educational district-
Mariska: Eh, fuck them kids.
Mariska: Come on now! Where's the next generation?
Loudred: *yawn, groan* Mother Misty's 17, be patient please-
Anika: Your mother never was the greatest at boundaries, was she Loud?
Misty: Oof I'm seeing stars.
Loudred: I assume it's pushing it to suggest you stay home...
Misty: Yes, especially after that ridiculous gathering. I have so much to catch up on!
Loudred: I thought you liked it. The Watcher I picked nice people, dear.
Misty:....I never said you didn't.
Loudred: I'll take that encouragement!
Misty: -I'm just saying, you could get a headstart, how are you going to really make use of your vegetarianism?
Skiploom: Yeah I'm out it's seven in the morning and I'm not in the mood-
Misty: You don't want big sisterly advice?
Loudred: Secret chats in the bathroom? Surely your old dad can join in-
Misty: Daughterly advice then!
She actually ended up expressing her admiration, because she has a soft side.
Misty: Dad, we're very different...
Loudred: Oh I know sweetie you don't have to hammer it in-
Misty:...but you've always been unapologetically yourself. And I think I get that from you, so...thanks.
Loudred: *sniff* There's a lot of onions in this breakfast scramble.
Misty: Right.
Hi Lati.
I think she might actually be the prettiest of the Marajka kids. Her and Goldeen.
Misty: I'm practically a grown woman I don't 'play'!
Skiploom: Perfect, these sums are easy, let me just-
Anika: Young man you better not put the TV on, I know you can't concentrate even when it's 'just subtitles!'
Kids are back.
Anika: No, she's home...well I can't guarantee she won't get all 'Misty' about it...come on, it sounds like you both need some friends.
Skiploom: Mum what are you plotting?
Anika: No, don't worry about that. It's not a - my youngest has a big imagination.
Latias why have you been running around the lot all day. Just come inside.
Latias: Ew, no. I don't want to visit these assholes. But if I go home, I have to look after my totally not an affair kid.
Steven: I'm gonna do it. I'm gonna befriend Misty for reals.
Anika wanted to invite someone over and he was the one in her relationship panel.
Steven: Your dad knows some sick tunes, honestly. Wanna bust a groove?
Misty: I don't dance. That's something my dad does very well. I would just embarrass myself.
Steven: Your dad is like, a legendary partier. No shame in being worse than him at dancing.
Misty: Hm. I'm considering.
Misty: Well this is...freeing!
Steven: Didn't I tell you?!
Loudred: Come on kids, let me show you how it's done.
Loudred: Get charmed by the arms.
Misty: Daaaaad you're such a goofball.
Steven: See? Sick moves. Legendary partier.
Loudred: I like this guy. Anika was right, he can come visit whenever.
Misty: You somehow won over both of my parents, Charm. Well played.
Loudred: But you're still staying over there. At least until she has her birthday.
Steven: Right, yep, high school-
Misty: I'm very mature for-
Let's not.
Misty: Well the sofa is much more-
Steven: Let me try out this barstool.
Misty: Come on, Charm, what gives?
Loudred: You think I'm going to play some sort of serenade for this? No! I am playing a goofy-ass jig I wrote about my own parents!
Steven: Oooh the Marajka jig, I've heard that on at least two radio stations!
That's probably true.
Piplup's here for a visit.
What's with the headphones.
Piplup: I dunno. With Goldeen and Haunter preparing for parenthood, I'm feeling a bit left behind and thought it might be time to start bonding with my father.
Loudred: Right. I'm gonna go do something awesome for a bit. Pip?
Piplup: Yes?
Loudred: Keep an eye on things.
Steven: Ya know I might just go back to the sofa. Uh, it's nice to meet you-?
Piplup: I'm fairly sure we went to high school together. Wait, why are you hanging out with my little sister then?
Misty: Dad you really are embarrassing me now.
Steven: I think I'm just gonna hang out with her mum in this bathroom. That seems lower stakes.
Anika: Wow Steven it's like you're trying to impress us.
Piplup: Fresh fish from the seas of Sulani, cooked privately in your own-
Skiploom:...But if they're from Sulani how are they fresh?
Loudred: I'm glad I overpoured the vodka in this.
Skiploom: But dad you always make it like that.
Piplup: Mother, there you are. I was thinking you were hiding from me.
Anika: hahaha now why would I do that...stop using those plates as a shelf for my breasts please.
Well would you look at that.
This is Goldeen's sort of high school fling. They went the whole way with each other but never actually made it official. Then he married an old lady.
Elliot: And now I've outlived her, got the gold and I'm ready to be with you, baby.
Goldeen: *swoon* Uh, don't mind my stomach, I'm just bloated.
Elliott: Wow yeah that was some bloat.
Goldeen: ...
Elliott: Look, I'll give the kid my awesome name and everything. It's still me and you, Goldfish.
Loudred: Ah, I'm happy for Goldeen, it was rough sailing but she got there in the end. You know, I feel like I raised that girl.
Misty: I mean you did, Grandma and Granddad were a bit past their best-
Loudred: Yes. And what I want is for my other girl to have the best life, yeah? Make the choices that feel good to you. And I'm still up to throw you a birthday extravaganza-
Misty: I'm making the choice that feels good to me...which is a no. Sorry.
I've decided Loud's final party is going to be his elder birthday.
Really Loudred.
Loudred: Who's that handsome devil?
Anika: *sigh*
Loudred: He needs his beautiful wife! Come here babe.
Anika hit the top level of career.
Anika: Chancellor of chancellors. It's all come down to this!
LMAO I love that she keeps getting these.
Misty: Alright, our teacher has instructed - why are you all groaning at me, I'm trying to help us learn!
Loudred: Latias you are always welcome to stop by-
Latias: Nope, just gonna keep lapping around the place!
Loudred: So, I got the mail today...
Anika: You did a simple adult task, very good-
Loudred: Haha. No, there's a letter in there from UoB!
Anika: At least one of the kids is interested in what I'm doing, I suppose...she'll be living at home, I assume.
Loudred: Yes, how'd you guess? I promised to cover dorm fees in their entirety and buy her first edition Lord of the Swings, but no dice!
Skiploom: Another day completed at - mNFSRWRF MISTY get your friend out of-
Misty: I've never seen that guy in my life. Dad texted saying my letter came. He was trying to be coy but he was so excited that I can kind of tell it's good news.
Skiploom: I'd care if I wasn't being MAIMED-
Loudred: MISTY you read the - oh I'm so sorry.
Misty: *sigh*
Why are her glasses different?
Steven's the first one to arrive.
Misty: Right. My last night of teenhood. As I understand, I should make a choice and carry on my grandmother's and father's legacy. Let us see how the subjects enjoy the library.
Misty.
Misty: WHAT I'm not hiding I just need to...collect my thoughts. Even though I'm not scared of growing up at all!
Misty: Hey, so you play SimScuffle too or-
Kolton: I came in here to be by myself, not be disturbed. Not even by you.
Misty:...Right. Point got. Is that how I come off to people?
Kolton: Yeah. A lot. I dig it. I'd be more expressive about that if it was in my nature.
Kolton: See you're smiling a lot.
Kelvin: Think that means she's learning from me somewhat!
Misty: I don't need to learn anything from any man, thank you.
Misdreavus: Maybe I'm not cut out for this. There's nothing wrong with those guys...but when push came to shove, I just hid and didn't want to say anything!
Loudred: Well, when you know, you know. It was like that with me and your mother.
Misdreavus: Dad, that's just a platitude. I need some actual advice.
Loudred: That's my actual advice.
Toxi and her wife adopted a boy.
Raj: Oh shit, it's the big one?
Misdreavus: You know it.
Skiploom: Oh, damn, I knew you wanted to celebrate on your own, Misty! Let me just face the wall.
Misdreavus: Just for that, you're my favourite. You may turn back around and celebrate. One handful of confetti, three claps, none of that dreadful vuvuzela please.
Misty:...I made one request.
Skiploom: I didn't do nothin'!
Raj: *HONK* What are you gonna do, get me in in the netherworld?
Misty: When I die, Grandpa. When I die.
Skiploom: Damn, that's dark.
Her last trait is bookworm, in line with the Elmira Clamp generation. She's a loner and a snobbish bookworm now.
She then immediately enrolled in a Distinguished Degree at Britechester. Language and Lit. Of course, it's 2.30am on Friday so she won't start until Monday.
Misty: Good! It'll give me a chance to get ahead.
