The Starbloom Travecy - Generation 5.10!

[tigeranne]

Hiiiii sweethearts! This is your Narraelynn typing! :D I've had problems with LJ, it looked all scrambled and impossible to use. But it's been fixed!



Oh and guess what, you guys.... I just turned 15 again. x( This year I'm not even going to bother attending school, I'll do online classes. I can't believe how none of the other kids who have to repeat the same school year over and over don't realise! They say I'm not the brightest spark in class? Well, I'll show them! I've been getting my best grades ever this year, because I've had three years of practice! Maybe I should go, just to see their dumb faces when suddenly I'm doing better than them!

Ahem. So, anywayz. Aylatani and Phil are still in the hospital with Virginia. Last time we found out why Bella and Renesmee's mother Renée was so dumb all the time. She had Hair Brain, and all her hair was growing into her head and constricting her from thinking. After a dangerous brain surgery she seemed to be alright, though. Little Matty can't go home unless the doctors find a dangerous decease he can be treated for. And back home Aamilei adopted a stray cat named Noodle.


At the hospital, two of the Pack Leaders had come to see if Phil and Kevin were coming out to play with them. I guess I can tell you right now that this episode won't be as crazy as the last, because even in the Starblooms' lives things aren't that insane all the time. Think of this as a breather where we see some old friends and get some information that could be important or not. :O


Kevin didn't have time, because he started work very early. He was studying nocturnal fish, and they're most active before they go to bed in the morning. Where do fish sleep, BTW? So they nest in the seaweeds? Writing about scientists make me think of all these thinks I've never thought of before.


Phil: Hi there, old buddy!

Wolf: This isn't normal.


Eric was angry. First of all it was morning, and Eric doesn't do mornings. He also had jumped to the conclusion that Phil was a secret agent for their evil government, and that he was stealing infected stuff from the hospital to make people sick.

I don't know if their government is evil or not. I mean, they did fire Aylatani over basically nothing, and kind of cancelled the language but Sanjay works for them, and he tries to catch serial killers.


Little Matty's sister had come to infiltrate and see if Matty was taken proper care of. She was pretending to be "Sandra" who was allergic to something.

Eric: You really shouldn't eat grilled cheese sandwitches for breakfast. You could be lactoast intolerant or have coeliac disease, or BOTH.

Heather: I've never died from it before.

Eric: It can develop suddenly.


Eric started telling stories about all the stupid ways kids had won the Darwin Award even after they were already comitted to hospitals. Heather and Emilia loved it, because kids are sociopaths and entertained by things like that, at least I was! But Elvira was a responsible adult from another world, and she had second thoughts about this kind of childhood education.

Elvira's beein in the Medival Age on business travel. That's why she wears the same dress as McGonnagle. I know ladies in the Victorian era didn't dress like that. Elvira always felt that she was a very modern person, more than people in her future who had degenerated back into barbaracy.


Elvira: Charles Darwin is or was a decent person who believes in the human potential. He would be appalled if he knew that there's a reward in his name for those who are too dumb to live. The Darwin Award should be something given to human beings who are excellent at life skills, live a long fruitful life and contribute positively to the human genome.

Eric: Noooo, that would be eugenics.


Emilia: Have you heard of Dirty Durgan? How many Darwin Awards has he won?

Elvira: Ohmygosh no, don't talk about Dirty Durgan while we're eating!


Phil won a Silver Farmer award for his work in adding extra vitamins to vegetables through selective breeding. I guess Charles Darwin would have approved.


Matty was putting on a brave face.


Heather and him bummed around in their PJs all day. They even went outside to play with no shoes on, but they had to go back inside when they saw Irene come home from a call. She would have been disappointed in them.


Heather loved splashing in water, but it was October and too cold to go to the beach anymore.

Stern Voice: AHEM!


Heather: Oh, uh... Mom.

Vera: What sort of behaviour is this supposed to be? Why aren't you looking after your brother?


Vera: WHAT IS THIS???????? Why is my son not in bed? Why isn't he hooked up to life-sustaining equipment?

Matty: But Mom, I'm fine.

Vera: No, Little Matty, you just think you're fine because you're so used to suffering.


Vera: My son is very sick! When are you going to perform surgery?

Payton: Mrs. Branigan, we can't find anything wrong with Matty. He seems perfectly healthy.

Vera: Well maybe you never find anything because you're not searching inside of him? When I take my car to the garage, at least they look under the hood!


Virginia was so happy to have Saturday dinner with her family again. Her Dad and Isobel weren't there, but maybe they could visit later.


Vera made sure Matty got put to bed on a lot of drugs, and she sat watching him silently for hours.


Elvira: No, Vera is not a Vengeful Ghost. She's just a brave, strong woman who's very conserned about her youngest child. That's why she's hovering. You know how Grandma has been with you lot, and that's because of what happened to Imogen all those years ago.


Vera: What happened to your face? No offence, Mrs. Collins, but you look like Picasso designed you.

Elvira: Tina (that's Aylatani's undercover alias) looks like a work of art! She's unique and there's no one else like her in the world.


Phil was bummed about the passing of his specimens, but he had to remind himself that even if an experiment fails science never does. You've discovered another thing that doesn't work, so you won't have to try that again. Narrows down the possibilities. Source: My Dad is a freelance scientist!


It was a good thing that he had Kevin for his assistance.


"Aunt" Elvira was allowed to stay in Virginia's room, because her headaches weren't found to be contageous. Virginia read aloud from Jane Austen before bedtime.


She was inspired by Liz Bennett's quest to fix things in the world, and she started repairing the bathrooms.


Vera: You're such a brave young person, doing dirty work to make the world safer for the vulnerable, when you could have been out dancing and partying all night.


Vera: I'll help you. There should be a lot more young people like you in the world. I would have loved to have a daughter just like you.


Phil was writing down his secret notes, and he had gossip on Danielle who's married to Aylatani's and Edgar's son Sprocket in the Wasteland.


Vera: I do have a daughter. It's not that I'm not happy with her, Heather is perfect! I wish she could have had a sister like you, to keep her company and have a good influence. She only has two brothers. :( My husband says three children is enough, else we have to extend the house, and that money could go to building a backyard patio with a custom built BBQ. I wish Brody would move out, but my husband says 13 is too young to get a job these days.


Vera: People in this hospital know nothing!


Matty: Hi Mom, why are you in a wheelchair?

Vera: Mommy's back hurts now. Go inside and sleep. I'll sit here and make sure they don't inject you with anything to make you sicker.


Victoria fixed all sorts of stuff.


Frank danced like a dork in the research rooms upstairs.


Vic: I'm so glad my parents' colleague let me borrow a Sonic screwdriver.


Vickie: "World's most difficult arcade game, Polybius, to be released in 4-5 years." It's real! :D Wait no, that's not good.


Promotions are boring reading, but I just wanted you to know that Aylatani's doing great in her new career, so screw the department of education! (Not sexually, they'd like that and it's not the intention.)


Matty: Aww no, do I have to?


Emilia decided she wanted to go home. She politely shook her sister's hand in a Victorian see-ya-laterz.

The hospital had many dark and scary pictures on the walls. They reminded all the patients that they lived in a dangerous world, so they remembered to take their medicine.


Victoria never wore a jacket to go outside, because she was used to living without air conditioning.


Eric: How are you awake again?

Little Matty: Because I've slept already, while Mom could keep watch. Please don't put me in a coma again?

Eric: If you don't stop going outside at night we're going to have to.


This was like their family business, LOL!


Phil: We're off to hide from Dr. Montoya and Eric until we're human again. Bye, Elvira! Come back to visit us soon!


Elvira: See you soon again darling, but I need to pay some attention to Isobel else she gets so depressed.


Everyone always wanted to use the disability accessible bathroom even when there's two others right next door. That happens at our local strip mall too.


At the house everyone was spoiling Noodle. He's back to being just an adult cat now, not an elder, but his fur kept the grey. That's cool, he looks interesting like that.


It was still summer, but not for much longer now. They're a couple of weeks behind Aylatani and them, because of a time anomaly and also because this is flashback.


Iris liked lying on the beach and feeling the rain on her face.


Ryan was happy he knew some Ducklings who could help him put a positive spin on the obituaries.


Riana got water logged in her ear, and she knew it meant that the carefree summer was over. She always became dark and gothic in her heart at the onset of autumn.


Buck started feeling very romantic at the thought of long, dark nights curled up on the sofa.

BTW, the hippie woman is Alice, who lives with Laurelin over at the Victorian house. Her twin sister Sadie is Sean and Stephen's mom.


Ryan asked if Adana wanted to hang out while he took a bath, and she felt temptation call. It felt weirdly thrilling.


Andi was sangry that her family had become so corrupted by society.


On the flip side Jonathan's life was very fulfilling. With all the people aroung it was almost like living in one big wolf pack.


T'sana and Buck were in the Slacker career. I'm going to skip a lot of their promotion notifications, JSYK. If you want proof, I can post them in a comment.


T'ana was practicing guy's work as equality.

T'ana: This is empowering. *gag* *retch* This is empowering.


Look, some of the eggs hatched! Now they had actual Ducklings LOL! And lots of little baby chicks.


Here they're all grown up. It would feel so close to nature with these little feathery friends nipping around the garden.


JHonatan had a little talk with Noodle, just so he didn't get any funny ideas about dinner.


Cindie: OH NO I HAVE CRABS! Help me, grandaughter!


Andi was trying to make a lot of BFFs and she was stalking Cindie all day long to build a relationship with her.


Iris was hooked on the excercise fad. Poor Noodle, he had nightmares about the hot-tub.


You can be happy even if you're born Gothic! Just look at Iris who's i n Perma Plat1!


Andi: Do you feel like going for a hike together improved our relationship?

Cindie: I'm just not used to have grandchildren who are almost as old as me, okay? It's weird enough with your Mom.


T'ana felt like a teenager in love. <3 (Shout-out to my BF Trey!)


GOLD FARMER BADGE!


Dinner smelled a lot better than kibble.


Aami waited all day for the phone to be available, so she could talk to Billy. She was starting to think of him as an important part of her life that she missed when he wasn't around.


It was soooo hared for Andi to become BFFs with Cindi, you wouldn't believe it! And Buck was nasty to that girl, I think her name's Vena. That's why she's crying, not because no one wanted to play chess with her.

Buck still has some issues, but at least I think they were inventing psychology in the 70s. Maybe he could get therapy in a couple of years.


All the frecking birds ran away to live on the edge of the camp. That's what you get for letting your pets be free-range, I guess. How ungrateful.


Bennett Magpie was part Troll and such she knew a few things about the paranormal, like crystal balls. Trolls are not supernatural themselves, but they live in the deep forests and lonely mountain ranges, where they see things humans rarely do.

Brodie was hanging around because his parents were passive agressive and he didn't like it at home.


Bennett didn't want to hear about it, whatever it was.


Ugly Peter: Look, Aami! Your grandmother is perving on your dad!

Aami wanted to sink through the floor, but then she remembered that Peter danced naked at home where his children and his aging old mother could see him if they came home early. He had no right to judge anyone.


Being alone with Ryan down by the ocean at night made Adana feel sadly happy. Why couldn't the world just have been a little different, so that they weren't technically related, and he wouldn't have had to explode, and Cindie could have found another husband who she was less chagrinned with. But then T'ana and her kids wouldn't have existed. :C


Peter cried in despair because the Starbloomps weren't tolerant of his lifestyle. They should know that he was probably naked and not pouit their periscope at the house where he lived. But then they had the nerve to be upset with him when he barged into their house and started shoving them around?!

The writing of the wall was mocking him.


Aami: I'm so glad to see you, Billy! There's so much nonsense here.

Billy: I'll do my best to keep you sane, both now ands when you get old enough to be in love with me.


Suddenly William walked bby and looked sad.


This was a normal day at home in the Seventies.


Billy had the moves. They would come in handy in the 80s, when breakdance became mainstream. Wolfman Juniour was pretty empressed.


William explained to Aami why he was so sad. He didn't like his name anymoew, it wasn't very metal. And Billy was also really named Willian except no one ever called him that. Aami promised they would all help him find a better name.

Oh no Wolfman Jr. please don't!




Charlie and a random bloke started talking about French culture at the table. (I think Charlie tagged along with Riana home, because he didn't want to hang around his family if he could avoid it.) It made it very hard for Andi to keep her lunch down.


Wolfman Jr DJed all night long.


It made him happy.


Wolfman Jr: Whoops!


Wolfman Jr: WHOOOOPS!!




Head Phones: Sproiingggg!




Lucky for him no one was on the dance floor to see it.


The Billies were in the tub, but they were talking about Dukes of Hazzard.


And cats sleep very heavily when they wanto.




Oh no! Social distancing immediately! D: D: D: D: D: D: D: D: D: D: They're all sick, so they'll just have to shelter in place.

LOL this is a periode piece now!


The next morning, Moonshine appeared on the sidewalk. Remember Phil told him to go there?


Jonathan saw him and decided to persuade him that he'd come to the right place.

Guy Formerly Known As Willian: Bro you've got this!


Billy: You can do it, Jon! We're cheering on you!


Moonshine: Aw darn, he's back to human. He can't hear me now. :V

Jonathan: Hai there puffy tat!

LOL it looks like Adana has angel wings! She's SO not as innocent as that!


Jonathan: Maybe you want to stay here with us, and not be out in the rain?

Moonshine: *nods*


Adana: See ya tonite, Jon! You've got this!


So then Moonshine had a forever home, and the Starblooms had another ambassador of happiness and sanity!


He was almost as crazy as the Scheilers' Silver.


Moonshine was very happy!


Andi didn't know how dangeroius it was to mess with The Chaz.


Hester diffused the bomb by telling spooky stories her troll ancestors had experienced in the deep forest in the dark of night and winter.


Chazza thought it sounded very badass.


This is Burton. If you have forgotten who he is, Rowland the troll-hipster is his dad, and he's engaged to Laurelin. (Burton is, not his dad. Rowland is married to Helena formerly MacAvoy, who's Brice and Jen's mother.) I guess he works with Riana.


Aami: JONATHAN, IT'S FOR YOUUUUUU!

She was really disappointed that it wasn't Billy, even if she wasn't in love with him yet. :C I think the phone call was Kevin phoning from the hospital, in case you wondered. They have a common interest in being werewolfs.


The random guest of the night was Wesley MaxAvoy-Magpie, in the tweed suit. Burton was telling everyone a rude story about "a friend" and Beau Wilfman and Chaz suspected it was Riana. O_O IT WASN'T, OKAY????!

None of those guys live there, ROFL! The Starblooms have sorta recruited their own Community that comes over every day. They had Grandma's Soup to decontaminate them of the Flu.


Then Beau told an embarrassing toilet story, and T'anamike thought that was definitely Riana, although she was sitting right there!


Wesley thought Beau was ++cool.


Then Duckman Junior scared the kittens outta everyone in his usual manner.


Aami thought her parents were super humiliating, because they acted younger than her. At school Jasper was spreading rumors to his drug customers that T'ana and Buck had Aami when they were 8 years old. >:(




T'ana was greatful that her children got to spend time with their dad, even if that meant chucking the ball hard into each other's faces, because she thought she'd have had to lock him in the attick forever and pretend he was dead. Her youth had been so tragic, and Buck's had been even worse, so Aami and Andi should actually be happy that their folks got to experience a second chance to be young and carefree.


An apocalypse morning dawned magenta.


Moonshine thought it was fun to hang out and party with the big werewolf boys.


Chazza was the DJ of the night.










She wasn't any less dorky than Bean, LOL!


Wesley: Tallie, you're just as beautiful now as back when it was you and me. I've never forgotten you. Do you evern wonder about how life could have been different?

T'ana: I'm T'anamika. Tallie is my grandmother. You dated my grandmother, Wesley, not me! You could have been my Grampa.

Wesley: I've never forgotten her, and you're just as delicately beautiful as she is.

T'ana: I'm literally on the toilet here.


Aami wanted to be an actress in an action TV show like Bionic Woman when she came of age. Buck didn't know their whole family history, so he thought that sounded ambitions and adventurous.


TGFKAW came over and declared to Riana that he'd chosen his new name. He was going to be Alex from now on.


Kaylynn Langerak had developed an irrational hatred for all her neighbours.


Every day was a struggle for AAmi to even get hold of the phone. It called all the time, and it was never for her! She also suspected that maybe Adana thought her dad was hot.


Billy was a cat person, he would fit in!


Alex and Riana embraced in the sunset, happy to finally know who they both were. (Riana had done some soul-searching.)


But poor Iris was sunburned and miserable, and forgot to go to bed. There's more to come, but I'm stopping this update here before it gets too long.


Here's a bonus for all you fans, for reading the whole chapter! This is what T'ana and Nerniya really look like, as real people. I think you can click on it to see a really big version.

TTYL darlingz! Narrator out!

While I wait for a new post, I'm catching up on the last one!

I admire Victoria for liking Jane Austen and fixing things. :)

Vera seems a bit intense, but I like her, too. She's not afraid to speak her mind!

The hospital's scary pictures, reminding patients to take their medicine, make me chuckle. :D

> Iris liked lying on the beach and feeling the rain on her face.

That sounds so peaceful. :)

You have ducklings and baby chicks! :O They're so cute! And LOL at the ungrateful things 'running away' on you. :D

And a wry LOL at the topical flu epidemic. :/ Bravo for getting them healthy!

Wow, what a good read! Your Sims look great, and I like the lots where they live. (Some of them live at the hospital, right?) Your commentary is so funny, and I like the way that you interpret things, like the magenta dawn.

Have you been playing Sims, lately? I look forward to your next update!

[tigerannesims2.livejournal.com]

Hi! I'm glad to hear you're enjoying this madness! Unfortunately I haven't found time to play much during the summer, but I hope that I'll be able to sit down for a good, long visit to my Sims soon.

I didn't build the hospital lot, where Aylatani, Phil and Victoria/Virginia currently live. It's by Theraven, I just thoroughly vandalised it. x)

Your commentary is so funny, and I like the way that you interpret things, like the magenta dawn.

Thank you! This legacy is narrated by Raelynn the Narrator, who has a very unique way of looking at the world. I'll be sure to let her know she has a fan!

I'm not sure I can say I like Vera, but she's more or less writing herself. Just look at the expressions she pulls when she's talking to people!
