Chapter 31: Brain Without a Face

Happy New Years everybody!  I hope everyone is having a great holiday!

Right, so who’s living on the Legacy lot these days?  I feel like I need a refresher.  We’ve got:

Serefina, 3rd generation mother and current torch-wielder, Firewoman.

Brady, 3rd generation spouse, Detective.

Niobe, 3rd generation sister, Ghost-Hunter.

Prometheus, 3rd generation brother with a robot-arm, Inventor.

Deo, 4th generation brother, Child.

Hyperion, 4th generation brother, Child.

Belladonna, 4th generation sister, Child.

Tungsten, Automaton built by Prometheus, Gardener.

Week 21 – Day 141:

Serefina and Niobe have 9 days left before they’re Adults, Hyperion and Deo have 1 day before they’re Teenagers, and Belladonna has 2 days before she’s a Child.

I wrote down “charitable moodlet sucks”.  I hope that makes sense!

Case 14: Fing-Ringers: Framery.  What is this world coming to..?  Jess Terribly-Sturdy had me accost Tiffany Dog-God over a fabulous missing ring.  During the course of my investigation I found the bling-thing fling-ed in the house belonging to the lying liar Jesse!  All your secrets come out in the end.

Day 142:

  

During Deo and Hyperion’s birthday, their great aunt Cascadia died.  That’s another legacy member down.

  

As you can see, I kindof mixed up their favourite colors.  Deo was blue and Hyperion was orange, but now Deo is orange and Hyperion is blue.  Ah well, c’est la vie.  Also Serefina missed their party because of an all-night earthquake cleanup.

Day 143:

Deo’s first fender-bender.

The school wants Deo to get a part-time job (for some reason), so now he’s a Spa Specialist.  Hyperion gets one too so now he’s a Grocery Store Clerk.  Tungsten the robotic gardener learnt how to plant Egg and Cheese.

Case #15: Seagull of Love:  Gold-digging.  What is this world coming to..?  An evaporated love affair left B. Jones jonesing for his lady love.  It was just an act, the AWOL Reisa wanted his wallet, not his heart.  Poor sucker, but at least he knows now.

Brady got promoted up to Gumshoe (level 6).  Also Belladonna’s ages up to child.  I gave her the Shy trait, let’s see what that does.  She looks like this now:

Belladonna as a Child.

Day 144:

In the future, Prometheus got hugged by an ancient Junkbot thanking him. Weird.  He also ate some Pineapple 2.0, which I assume I am allergic 2.0 to.

“Hello fire victim!”

Serefina’s agent wants her to do a radio commercial for Llama Musk Perfume.  Because who wouldn’t want the pungent aroma of hair?

Day 145:

Pascal Morel is now dating Carrie Diwan-Irwin.  That was fast, Cascadia just died!

For some reason, Deo & Hyperion can flirt with Rene and Lewis even though they are … first cousins once removed?  Surely they are still related!

Brady got the Eagle-Eyed Eavesdropper Medallion for solving a jewel heist.  Funny, normally the Wolfe family are the ones stealing the jewels!

Brady as an Elder.

Brady’s birthday up to elder.  Crikey, he’s only solved 15 or 16 cases of the 35 for his LTW.  (I’m not counting the 4 that glitched out because they weren’t done.)

Day 146:

Belladonna, with her nose in a book.

Belladonna had one conversation with Niobe and became a Notable Figure.  Well that was easy!

Case 16: Brain without a Face: Marine biology.  What is this world coming to..?  Brenton asked me to search for his missing buddy, the local faceless genius Lakeside Retreat.  I followed the aquatic clues back to his sunken lair, to find the mislocated scientist removing piranha teeth.  Hey, it’s a living.

Brady was promoted to Licensed Snoop (level 7), which comes with the Sneaky-Sneak interaction.

Holy cow, Serefina got $10,000 from her commercial.  I wonder if that handsome fellow from the Paco Rabanne commercial earns that much.

Day 147:

Brady and Tungsten grinding.

Sigh, my notes are a mess:  “Tungsten was in a saloon when banditos attacked.”  … I don’t know what that means, but I think he and Prometheus were partying.

Time for a hookah break.

Sofia (one of Joe’s children) got engaged to Gerald Lancaster-Tanner (some guy).

Most of the family went to the Amateur Olympics, except Serefina went to the hospital to entertain sick children.

Oh my gosh, one of the children from the long-standing families, Ella Irwin-Bellamore.  She simply must marry Deo or Hyperion.  Her face genetics are perfect!  We must add your biological distinctiveness to our own.

And next Sim-week, somebody on the Legacy lot will have a mental breakdown.

Community death count: 175 or so

Legacy Score: 51. (Gen: 4 + LTW: 7 + Portraits: 10 + House: 10 + LTR: 20)
