The Scheiler Uglacy - Generation 7.9!

[tigeranne]

Hi my peeepz! :D This is Raelynn. We're at 7.9 now! This generation is getting longer than anything I've played before. I mean, that's good, because it means that I'm documenting more of what's happening, so y'all have a better chance at getting to know the new generation. Because there's 20 of them...

Anyway, we're visiting the Village for this update. Check behind the cut for a short summary of what's happened there recently, or just jump straight to the first picture. :)



So yeah, the most dramatic change in the Village is that Tippy's no longer the law. She got fired because of weather control freaks and punks who couldn't handle technology responsibly. She got another job as a congressperson, and is still working on furthering the Community message. Friday's currently an astronaut. :D Tory and Bronwyn's baby daughter, Elmira Bedina, is now a toddler, and Bronwyn is about 55 weeks pregnant with another baby. Modesty's also pregnant. Tawny Holly's went on the prowl for a BF, but didn't find anyone too interesting, because she's looking for someone special. Something very mysterious happened at San Miguel Cemetery. It was suddenly full of old graves that weren't there the night before. Is there something very strange going on in Arenanueva?


Bronwyn wasn't having a very great day.


*SPLISH*

Bronwyn: D:


Hooray, it just got worse!

Fortunately for Bronwyn, this is probably the last time she'll be pregnant. Or is it?


The children were drowning in homework. There was a rumour around their school that la Señora Feodora was some kind of vampire who sustained herself on the energy children spent on homework, and that when she was proper hungry she gave some extra essays and vagued about pop-quizes in some undetermined future.


STOP! BABY TIME!


It was a boy. He had only Tory's genetics, but nothing a little DNA splicing couldn't fix.


They named him Drent Pobo, and he'll mostly go by Pobo because the other kids liked it. They said it sounded like a cartoon bear who has adventures with a brown and white dog called Springs.

(TA wanted me to say that there was a third part of the name, but it's edited out of the picture because it sounded a bit like a slur. So just keep in mind, if you want to use Wordlab's character name generator, that some of the names it gives out are a bit uh.)


But outside there was Morris Atherton. And he was being unreasonably nasty to Monty.

I mean, Monty just greated him as he walked by, and then he turned all aggro and started poking. What IS IT about Monty that makes everyone pick on him?


Everyone has their breaking point, and Monty had just had ENOUGH.


And he didn't just beat Morris up, he thoroughly mauled him.


Monty: And now, piss off!


LMAO MORRIS WAS SCARED OF BECOMING A WEREWOLF!


It was sooooo sweet revenge to watch him have a total meltdown. Monty felt glee in his heart. He almost started singing!


Yeah, you know what? I don't think this is the right time for Morris to have more children to rolemodel for.


So let this be a warning not to mess with Mighty Monty. >:(


Little Mira was old enough to grow up to the next level. Everyone was very happy for her. BTW, that's not Sad Percy on the right there. It's someone who came home with Friday.


Mira was very happy. :) She suddenly had a chin and everything.


No one understood what Summer's problem was. O_o


Err, this is a picture of a happy Modesty and a herb garden. Just take it for what it is, because I don't think it's got much to do with plot advancement?

(And yeah, it's a herb, not "an herb." The H isn't mute. I don't care if you think I'm a snob or something!)


Tory accidentally got locked out of his room, and he went to go sleep next to the vegetables, hoping that his BO would work as fertiliser. He's very environmental.


Nettie: How long are you on Recrution duty?

Bronwyn: Just until Pobo needs attention. You?

Nettie: I'm on to 9 am.

Everyone had neglected recruiting lately. :( Friday was sad.


There's always something going on in the village.

Oh no, there are chance cards here. x( Do I need to include them? Phew nah, we good. Buffy played a game of golf and got 2 Charisma points. That's the TL;DR.


Mira almost never skilled when she was a toddler, she always just followed someone around. Her parents were happy when she wanted to practice the piano.


Summer's cool 7th-cousin (or something) Storm called. It made her day. :)


Misty Stonehouse: Mom's totally going to have more babies.

Elmira Bedina: Really? Boys or girls?

Misty: I dunno, probably a girl.


Tex Toro had promoted himself to recruting staff, and now he was reading one of the sports mags lying around to pass the time. He was deep into the history of baseball legends and not paying attention to the road at all. And he was almost old enough to drive!


Nettie was frying up beef in the kitchen. The Scheilers had grown all the ingredients themselves, apart from the meat. That was from a local supermarket. They're ready to go off the grid soon!


Tex was so absorbed in the mag that he forgot he was supposed to grow up now.

Tex: Babe Ruth was a dude!?! I always thought she was like Shirley Temple's little sister or something.


Zandie got in a workout before she became too tall for the jungle gym.


HOORAY! She maxxed out her body skill! :D


What a great moment to grow up!!!!


Awwwww, she rolled Knowledge! Modesty was SO PROUD!


Receipts that she was a child prodegy!


She's so cute I couldn't even make her over.


BTW, here's her official portrait. :)


Tory's been very baby-greedy during his whole marriage. :O


Promotion. I'll show you proof where it's needed, but I hate captioning chance cards.


Suddenly Mira was interested in stuff, and now she was out picking garlic.


Misty got her foot stuck in the wall, and Modz was worried about how they were going to get her free without dislocating her ankle. They had to take part of the wall down with minecraft, and Misty felt like she'd have to walk on four forever.


The Adults just loved the sprinkler toy.


Geri was starting to develop her brain.


But oh no! Who left a Turkey in the oven and ran away?


It was Modz?! Oh no, was she giving birth??!


Suddenly Tex Toro started growing up and all!


He rolled Family. And a lot of people would have been angry with him if they knew he was fatphobic.


Holly: Have you put the fire retardent on?

Maura Simpson: Yeah, it'll stop by itself now.

Holly: Wanna hang around for dinner?

Maura: Um... no.


Modesty thought it was very medically scientific that the turkey had become purple. Like, that's not the flashing magenta, because that looks just flat. That there's the turkey's texture.


Artsy Mack woke up while out sleepwalking, and couldn't find his way back to bed.


He was growing waterbending powers, and a mist of waves had started surrounding him wherever he went. I hope they made the pavement a bit more comfy to sleep on. Probably not.


So yeah, here's Tex Toro as a puberty person.


Official portrait!


Mack woke up and floated back home. He was so confused.


Misty was a bit sad that she wasn't a cool highschool girl yet, but Summer cheered her up by reminding her she was still small enough to get swung around.


Misty: PLURRK


Mira thought Nettie and Butch were a pretty cool adult couple, and she wanted to be like them when she greq up.


Friday observed the familiar interactions with fulfillment, and knew his parents would be proud too.


It's very nice that Tory's good at multi-tasking, because he could score charisma and spend quality time with his baby at the same time. Maybe some of it would even rub off on Pobno.


Summer: I don't think we'll be chosen to go to Isla Tropicana, but that's oklay. Storm and me have got a Plan B that's going to be just as awesome.


Summer: And don't be like that! I didn't ditch you when I grew up, did I?


Misty's probably gonna be a very good gardener when she gets older.


Summer too. That's v good, because Plan B is living off the land. :) They're going to have one or two people having other jobs so they can have money for bills and stuff, and the rest of them are going to be a herbalist collective.


The phantasmal waves still surrounded Artsy Mack, and influenced his westcoast style of piano playing. He's going to fit in well in California!

Mack can play this. :D


The music influeenced Tippy to go for a swim.


Netti felt like her life was complete. :)


And the cats are always getting attention, even if you don't see them in the pictures all the time!


Promotion.


Bronwyn: I'm sorry you had to listen to Daddy practicing his lecture on the interventional evolution of home decor in interpersonal relationships seen through the lense of performative activism.


Geri was very tired from managing campaigns in high heels all day.


Friday: She's not as tough as Nettie.

That's kind of been the tragedy in Geri's life. Nettie was the gangsta older sister who their parents were kinda afraid of messing with, and Geri always had to sort of run the razor's edge between rebellion and compliance (Yeah, I know what those words mean?) to stay on everyone's good side. Or, you know, not completely getting on their bad one.


Drent Pobo's birthday came quickly. :=)


Whooeee!


Pobo kind of looked a lot like Zizzy Zandie, like he was her brother instead of cousin. He was meant to get DNA treatment, but then they noticed that he kindof had eye-lips, like his grandpa Gusty Eyelip. They had to give him a chance to develop those.


Is it just me, or has Ilvany been less obscure lately? She hung out all night and chatted with Buffy in the tub.


Brazen Modesty: HNNHHHHNGGGGNNNNHHHhhhhaynes!?


Haynes: ...zzzzzzz*POP* Baby time?! :O

Modesty: YES.


It was a girl! :) She had Haynes' skin and Modz' eyes.


Modz had rifled through the Book of Appropriate Names, and decided on Marlie Mazzy for a little girl. They're going to call her Mazzy most of the time, to avoid confusion with the obscure Marnie Marcata.


Butch' life would be so much easier if he could just make up his mind! Maybe the person with most Aspiration Points to spare could treat the Village to an Aspiration change machine (I can't rememner what the name is), because there are a few people here who could do with a change. Butch just isn't a Knowledge Sim. His secondary should be Family or Popularity.


I remember that it was a point to this picture, and it wasn't that Tippy and Netti clearly feed the whole village too much.

Monty: You forgot to lock the baby room, so now I'mma fill her with cold formula from the fridge.

Modz: Monty, no.

Seriously, though. Don't pour cold milk into newborns. They'll get a stomach ache. Guess how Jolene (and our cousin's baby) found out?


Hey look! Pobo didn't get the kitty PJs, he got the lion PJs. Like, they're the only other textures from that set that show up on the kids. Occasionally. IDGI, because they've got several other texture versions in their family wardrobe.

Oh yeah, and Friday & Tippy have totally rolled the baby want again. I locked it for both of them, because there's noooooo way Friday's ever going to have 30 best friends at once. Which was the previos want he had locked. His 20 best friends LTW was actually achieved, like I mean he had 22 people he was either BFF or best friends with, but it never triggered. I dunno if they have to be JUST best friends and not BFFs or something. He's got a new LTW now, but it's something stupid that won't happen either. Doesn't really matter, because he's PermaPlat 4ever.


Tory: It's so awesome that this family is managing three local hospitals!

Modz: I know, but I don't think Rilly's gonna do it forever.


Bronwyn took a day off (she's got like two weeks of vacation) to teach Pobo his skills.


Geri's boss got DRUNK right before he was suppposed to give a speech. Thing is, Geri never liked him that much, and thought people deserved to see who they were voting for. >:(


Geri: It was an overall win tho?


After Pobo had the walking down, he learned to talk. :) He's a very talented kid.


IDK who invited Hank, but he helped himself to their veggies! >:O


Summer dug Zandie's 50s vibe, and she got a similar style dress. They look so cute!


Summer: What's that? It better not be alcohold, because you're just 13!

Zandie: LOLNOPE, it's just werewolf potion!

Summer: Oh, okay.


Bronwyn really loves the sprinklers though, but look at such great fruits!


Promotion.


Awwwm she's so cute. All she's missing a sheep or two and she's basically Bo Peep!


Mira did super-great in school, and I think it was only her first day!


Then it started hailing frozen peas!

Mira: Mom, we gotta get inside.


She ran for her life because there's no point in being smartest in class if your brain is smoshed in.


Mira: Mack's too dumb to take shelter, and he's gonna die like Aylatani's husband!

Buffy: Edgar's not dead.

Mira: Yeah, I'm talking about the dude before him. He died from hail!

RIP Legolas. Too ethereal and pure for this fascistuitious world.


Misty was happy, because she had good grades and rad new clothes.


Anakin Irish came over to visit.


He had a theory that if he dyed his hair aqua blue, and got different swimshorts, he'd be invisible under water. But that would also mean he'd look bald when he wasn't in water (or just had a spiky head), so he wasn't sure he wanted to do it.


Misty discovered that there was another surface under the water! :O


Mira had never even done homework before, and she was doing better in school than the rest of her class!


Modz thought it would be good for Mazzy to experience the noisy and colourful life in the Village from she was reall young.


And to learn that being a werewolf wasn't dangerous.


Zandie: I bet Mom's gonna be surprised.

LOL yeah, she was overjoyed! :D


Pobo loved watching all the colours of squiggles that came out when he played. He didn't understand why no one else saw them.

I firmly believe that very small kids see stuff no one else does, because when I was younger I'd sometimes wake up and night and I'd see this sort of movie playing in front of my eyes, with the darkness as the screen. It was like a camera panning over a field of colourful flowers, and little people would be running around and playing. The flowers changed colours, like those prism lamps, you know? I would always know when it was about to happen, because in the dream I would start spinning around, or the world would spin around me. It was weird, but I was never scared.

After I was like eight years old I couldn't see them as well anymore, and all the flowers were red and didn't change colour. If I close my eyes quickly I can still sort of see them. But now they're really faint and don't look like flowers anymore, just like red glowing dots with a small dark dot in the middle.

Did any of you see things like that? Do you see patterns if you squeeze your hands gently against your closed eyes?


PQ came to pick up Anakin, and he was offended that Django thought he smelled like dog. Yeah, Django was suddenly just there, I dunno. He must have invited himself in.

Um wow, what's going on with Akanin? O_O


Anakin: OWWW DAD MY NECK!!!


Oh, wow... this couldn't be good for him!


His neck was almost where his throat should be, but it was displaced sideways at a 90 degree angle.

PQ got him in the car and hurried to the ER. Keep following this series to find out if Anakin was OK!


Awww, double watch duty! <3


Brownyn had a naughty preposition. ;)


Django was very useful and watered the summer garden. :D I don't think he stole anything, because there can't have been anything to steal left. They'd just harvested.


Pobo chilled in the night air outside. And I think that's the last picture for this update.


No it wasn't. x) Mira went nightswimming with Buffy and Ernest, because she'd had a nap and was fully rested.


Nettie and Butch were making out in the sunrise, making Ernest feel vomity.


Geri wished her own family had been happy and sociable like the Scheilers mostly are. Mom sometimes says that if you've got poor relationships with your family, it's going to be harder to have good relationships with other people. I'm not sure. Tameron doesn't like most of her family, and she likes almost nobody else either. But it could just be that Tameron doesn't like her family because she almost doesn't like anyone at all. Sometimes I think she doesn't really like herself even. Brooke though, she hates her family, but she's got more friends than Tameron does. She adopts her friends as her new family.


Geri: You don't need to cook, Nettie. I've made slices of bread with jam!

Nettie: Cool, that's a new spread you haven't tried applying before. :) Save them for lunch though, because we've got some eggs we need to use ASAP.

She didn't want to hurt Geri's growing confidence.


Earlier in Geri's life, breakfast had always been accompanied by arguements and discussion of medieval torture methods and things like that.

"Nothing wrong with that?" said TigerAnne.


BTW, Tippy got into law-influencing terrortiry again.

And I think that literally was the last picture I uploaded for this chapter. Pox upon Imgur for removing the chronological upload order!§

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

I'll seriously try to write the next update sometime before next weekend! Like seriously, I'll do my best! TTFN and Narrator ouuuuuutt! :D
