The Scheiler Uglacy - Generation 7.18!

[tigeranne]

Hiiiiiiiiii my Peeeeeeepz! It's Raelynn the Narrator coming at ya with a new update on the Scheilers. :) We're still over at PQ's branch of the Community, because that's where most of the Heirs come from and we need to grow them up so MK'la can play her generation! Pyson has already left to go to college on Isla Tropicana. Storm and Polly are also grown up, and live in the Eco Camp. Dino and Skip grew up last time around, and have snuck off on a mysterious quest. Anakin, Lark, Fresco, Wendy & Mandy are all teens now.

I said this update was going to be very long, but I found a place I could end it kind of naturally that made it kind of short instead. But that just means another update is coming soon!




PQ and Finch are in the Entertainment career now. They need a lot of Charisma skill for that one. :( Finch didn't have as many skill points as PQ, so he had to start at the bottom as a Stand Up comedian. Yeah, nobody likes those anymore. PQ started as a lounge singer, which is probably 70 years out of style too, but at least it's so far out of style that it's vintage and cool.


Webster helps us pay the pet-tax. :D


Rilly and Finc maade over their room. They did it up in a lot of foresty greens, with splashes of bright colours and a huge painting of the characters from The Wizard of Oz. At least that's what I think it's supposed to be. I don't know any other stories that have a lion and a tin man.


Something about those abstract paintings was just so RILLY, if you know what I'm talking about. Like, if you have characters, don't you sometimes see something that's just a certain mood that makes you think of them?


The doggos like staying cool in the water sprinkler. :)


They say that your pets are likely to be very smart if they watch TV and follow what happens on the screen for more than a few seconds. It means that they recognise what they're looking at without the help of scent. For a dog that's a very big deal, because 90% (I think) of their information about the world comes from smells. Cats are much more visually oriented, but it's a good sign for their brainpower if they're interested when there are animals on the screen. They tend not to react so much to humans on TV, because they're in a box and out of their business.


The cats love the big beds. There's always a cat in at least one of them. The dogs don't seem to care about using them at all. This is Renfield, Ellie and Orlando, in case you don't remember their names. They have a lot of pets here now.


This is their fourth cat, Emanuelle, often called Emma.


The cats often have their own community meetings.


Lark aspired to be a popular mean girl, so she had to work on the "popular" part with the kids who came over to visit.


Rose Dai had gotten a makeover. I'm not sure her default replacements go well together. Lark was discussing it with Wilma and that blonde girl named Sierra.


Yay promotion! :D


Finch led an anti-flu themed meeting with suop, and gave a ted talk about how wearing hats can stop the spread of germs. (Yeah, I dunno. Maybe they're like bee-keeper hats and have a mask attached? Or the hat dispenses sanitizer.)

Yeah, Anakin had ditched his neck brace. It had been cramping his live for seven years!


See what I mean? The moment Lark stood up after chowing down a bowl of soup, a germ went flying right up her nose!


They were in Mandy's lungs!


And then they were in Lark's too!


Lark: Mandy, don't drink medicine you've bought on e-bay!


But it wasn't tank cleaner! That bottle design should be familiar to people by now! x) Mandy hoped she could get rid of the fly by changing her DNA.


Meanwhile, Cleo Petra dreamt she was a cat and chased yarnballs. O-o


Anakin would not like to become a werewolf, so maybe he ought to be careful playing fetch with a pack leader. They can get v possessive of their sticks.


All the wolves decided that it was too long until the next weekend, and that they should go check if any of the ghosts were home. Finch had aspiration failure and wanted to see one. PQ would love that too.


They found Edgar doing family research. I wonder what he found, because most of the graves in San Miguel arrived there mysteriously from another timeline.

Are you related to someone if they exist in a world where you're not real? I mean, if something happened that meant your parents didn't get around to making you at the exact moment they did, and either someone else was born in your place later, or they just didn't have children at all. Maybe in that world your grandparents never had children, because the doctor's handwriting was so ugly he couldn't read it himself the next day, and thought it said "vasectomy" when it was actually "vaccine." If you somehow managed to enter that alternative reality, they'd still be your grandparents, wouldn't they? Your DNA would reveal that you were their biological descendent. And even if they didn't have grandchildren, well... Now they did, because now you existed in that world.

Then on the other hand... Are alternative time versions of a person the same people at all? Maybe they're more like twins, separated at their parents' birth. If an alternative version of me came *poooof*-ing into my room and said "Hurry! Take my baby!" and then vanished with no explaination? That would be my biological baby, but I still wouldn't have had a baby at the age of 15. The school nurse would be able to tell I've never been pregnant, right? So maybe my alternate me would have been the surrogate mother for her own baby.


They better be talking about how lovely and amazing Buffy is.


Finch was so sad about his lack of knowledges he broke down sobbing. :( Hi Valentina, BTW!


Finch: I've heard the current theories about dimentional merging, and I need to know if it's truuuuuueeee! If I could just see a ghost, I would know that different dimentinos coexist, and I would be that much closer to peace in my mind and soul!

Edgar: I think they do, because one time I was at a gas station this crazy man came running up to me and said that I had caused the aspocalypse. Well, we're still here and there's a planet present. So I guess I didn't.

Valentine: But Egdar, that guy was crazy!

Edgear: Oh, yeah.


Mandy: So if you blink, and the statues are closer and in a different position, you need to back away with your eyes open and just get in the car and floor it out of here.

Rilly: But just the knowledge of them in your mind can make them become real, and they'll attack you from inside your own head.

PQ: Doctor Who is too scary for me. :(


And suddenly it was next morning, because here's Mandy at the camp. She met her fourth-cousin Mira. :) There are so many of them now, that they haven't even all met! :O Their new community focus needs to be on finding out who everyone is!


So yeah, obscure distant relatives like Ilvany are okay as allies, but the leadership needs to tighten up strings a little. :O Some people will just have to go on expeditions, so the people left can develop proper relationships!


Mandy's going to Isla Tropicana, so she already has her first mission ready. Mira didn't know yet what she was going to do in her future. But Monty and JimbiJimbi need inhabitants for the city they're building. They could put some of the surplus family members there, LOL!


The sight of kiwi ice cream and frozen pizzas made Finch really sad again, for reasons that only make sense to someone who knows Finch's entire personal history. And that isn't me, peeps. Sorry about that! :C


Studs was around, looking very official in a vest and striped tie.


I'm sure he knew exactly what he was doing by talking to Helmut the spy about oil spills.


PQ, you're hovering. Yeah, it counts even if you're on the other side of a window. It's very uncomfortable to have someone watching you like this, when you're trying to behave normally!


Mandy rolled the want to max the Body skill, so she got in the pool while they were waiting for it to be time to go back to San Miguel and try again to catch a glimspe of an ex-Arenanuevan. :O


Of course Polly showed up just as they were about to get in the car! There's always someone they know who does that!


Wow, she'd been living out of the house for HOW long, and she and Mandy were already on the hand-shaking stage? D: This is why you don't have 20 children, peeps!


Anyway, it was ghost-spying time.


Bronwyn showed up to take a peek. :)


And Maikana came by.


Then a mysterious phenomenon made life problematic! Before this, visitors had always been able to sit at the bench and eat. But that wasn't working anymore. The wolves were starving! So yeah, that's why you'll see street furniture start to appear on the sidewalk outside San Miguel in future updates.


I guess soap keeps the fountain clean and free of alegae? :-/ But it made Finch sad.


Butch came to see if Moriarty was coming out to say hi. Last time he visited, he only just missed him by an hour or so!


Near the end of the street, a very pale gentleman in an old-fashioned suit was breathing in the evening air.


PQ: Buenas Noches, Señor! (PQ speaks Spanish to people, because he normally assumes they're localish.) I believe you must be new in town, because I haven't seen you around before. And you don't look like the kind of tourists we usually get! My name's Photon Qunder Scheiler, and I'm a Branch Leader for the Community of Love and Understanding. People call me PQ.

Pale Man: Good evening! My name is Barnabas Collins, and I'm a monster hunter from Maine in the US. I'm also a time-traveller from the 1960s who was born in the 18th century, and I'm a vampire.

PQ: Nifty, we need some diversity around here! I'm a werewolf, as you can see, but I don't have any prejudice against vampires. Miss me with that Twilight crappaganda, right?


Barnabas thought the street lights were a bit bright.


Barnabas: Oh no, an atrociously evil witch! And she's a blonde evil witch. I don't trust those!


Tulia: Hey, do you think you could fix that guy's face?


Baz had some issues, because his life had been pretty traumatic. (Watch Dark Shadows! It's the best show ever made!)


He had a lot of knowledge about art and aesthetics, and he could tell that the bird bath was made from marble imported from Sicily.


BTW, here's what the other guys were doing. There weren't any ghosts out.


PQ: Mandy, your Mom is already upset that Storm became a witch!


Barnabas: Oh Josette, why must I see you everywhere I go?


Babz thought it was hysterically funny that her cat peed on Finch. It made Finch sad.


Why do I just know that Joe's got something to do with why Rilly's suddenly crying over there?


Joe messed with the wrong wolf this time, though!


Barnabas didn't like people fighting in the cemetery, because he was from a time when people had manners and respected the dead. But he'd been trapped in a coffin for almost 200 years, and only got out because someone disrespected his grave, so he felt a little conflicted about whether he cheered for Rilly or not.


He liked seeing Joe get tossed on his ass, though. Maybe it was because he'd used to know a guy named Joe and he'd had the hots for his GF.


After that he gave Elys an art lesson.


Then he went home.


Susannah's head arrived to make nice weather.


Butch: Don't worry, Finch! You'll see a ghost tonight for sure!

Modz, please just don't?


Rilly hadn't seen her brother Gordon Jetsam in many years, so by now she had forgotten how freaking weird he was. She was happy to see him and catch up. Yeah, they had to pitch tents, because Finch was so depressed his sanity depended on seeing a ghost. They could be there for a while.


Mandy: I can't believe this? We have to choose between sleeping next to the rotting carcass of headmaster Vince, or next to a public porta-john!


Rilly chose the corpse, because it had less of a chance of spilling over on her.


Like, I know they're wolves... But playing in the thorny shrubs is kind of just dumb. And they're KNowledge Sims!


Professor Snape didn't like crowds and muggles, and here there was both of those.


Tory had arrived, and he was yelling at Moriarty for not showing himself.


Butch: It has all become much clearer as the book has revealed its secrets!

O_O What book?


Mandy: I can't sleep knowing that there's only a few feet of dirt between me and the decaying corpse of a pervert. Oh gosh I hope the potty doesn't explode!


Rilly was starting to remember how weird and annoying Jetsam was.


And this is why professor Snape is single.


Suddenly Dora started getting aggro with Jet.


Django Fargone: Hi cousin! Please don't beat her up, she's old!


I SHIP THAT.


Finch talked to Seven about ideas for a documentary. There were still no ghosts, and he needed to keep his mind occupied unless it was to escape from his dwindling grip.


Rilly: Everythign will fall into place when we identify the missing peace of the puzzle! BTW, that was my Mom you just talked to. Did you tell her we're married?


I hope old Leo was just reliving a funny memory of the guy who's buried opposite Moriarty, and not actually rejoicing in the death of a bastard.


Anyway, here's Des. :)


Nettie: Yo, kids!

Henry: Wow, she's hawt.


The cemetery gang (that sounds kinda criminal, LOL) must have made a good impression on Barnabas the other night, because he came back to socialise.


PQ and one of his adult kids were in the same place at the same time for once. :D


Nettie: This is kind of social and nice.

PQ: Yeah. I'll ask Monty to remember to put in a side-walk café in the new downtown. You know, with a park next to it that's just a lovely garden with no dead people.


Pack Bonding! :D Their old best-friendship was replaced by a new one, more unbreakable and eternal.

Tynice: OMGOSH Henry are you okay?

Henry: GURGLE!

Tynice: Someone call 911, he's suffering from Iron Necklace! That's an army slang for a terrible kind of injury you don't want to goodle!


Barnabas went home, because he had a problem being a gentleman around bleeding neck wounds.


Another day dawned with no ghosts having been seen.

PQ: Iron Necklace?! Poor Henry, I hope he didn't lose more oxygen to his brain!?


Finch was so depressed he wanted snow to go hibernate in until life got happier. Meanwhile Susannah was in disguise as the payphone, because she was becoming increasingly self-conscious about the fact that she was technically naked.


Simon thought Seven was hot.


And he fancied either Susannah or Christy I think her name is. Poor Xandie's thinking of dating this guy, so I kind of hope he wasn't enjoying the fact that Susannah's clothes were invisible.


At least Ernest and Storm seemed to have seen each other before! :V


Susannah's familiar is such a cute cat! <3


Is it just me, or are the Obscure Scheilers being kind of less obscure lately. I feel like either Ilvany, Manola or Marnie is out every time someone goes on a trip now. Maybe they want me to play their houses? Because I want to do that, I just have to get this generation finished! And also I have the Starblooms! Then TA wants to play the Magpies! And I miss Sims 3 and when will I have time to have all this fun when I have to go to school for real every day, and have homeworks that I can't recycle because changes in the curriculum, and... D:


Christy-person, we have a jail! (Rigel was hungry!)


The Community must be living very boring lives if they think soap in a fountain is that funny!


Later in the night, Tippy and Geri came by. They didn't stop, I think they were just getting fresh air before bedtime, because they both have terrible problems getting to bed at night.


And LOOOK! That's Vince! I think this was the first sighting of him since the flies ate everything except his mean bone.


He looked with utmost disdain at the miscellaneous ghost watchers. But was Finch going to see him? (Look at the gate on the right if you've got trouble seeing where he is.)


Vince: BOOOGABOOGABOOO YOU'RE EXPELLED FROM OUR SCHOOL!

Manola: EEEEEEEEEEEEEEK! I graduated 20 years ago!


Dying didn't improve Vince's personality. :(


Professor Snape: I moved here because I don't like soccer. I don't really like werewolfs either but you're at least better than soccer hooligans.


Chandler: I like soccer 'ooligans better than 'elmut!


Guess what? Finch didn't see Vince. :( So they went home, and Mandy worked on maxing her Body skill. And she did but she didn't get her 8000 points! D:<




We need to pay the cat tax to fulfill the Transmission Directive! And because I'm angry on behalf of Mandy, so here are cats!


Yeah, this is how the wolf family spends most of their nights! You think it's like romantic and darkly glamourous to be a wolf, but half of the time you pick veggies!


And kiss in the dawning sunrise. :)


Anakin and Fresco were the only boys left now. They had a secret club, and they wore identical PJs because that was the secret membership clothes.


Lark always tried to noogie Wendy and mess up her beautiful pink hair. She would stand patiently behind her for up to an hour and wait for Wendy to get up so she could sink her knuckles into her scalp.


But they were actually very good friends. They even washed the back patio together before school.


Oh yeh, and Wendy had gotten somehow disenrolled from Don Sebastian, the private school in town. She wasn't expelled, there was just some kind of clerical error. But she felt she could breathe freer in the public highschool, so she went there instead.


Yeah yeah, I know! They're terrible friends! :c(


I tried to help Mandy get her Aspiration points by removing one of her skill-points so she could max it out again. Nah, she didn't get them that time either. She was robbed! >:( So MK'la, you can add 8000 points to her score when you remake her, OK? I'll send you her stats like I did with the others.


Mazzy and Erica were some of the guests that night. Erica is there so much she's been counted as an official supporting member.


Gillian and Sierra have been coming over too, but not as often. They're related to the Starblooms somehow, or at least to Laurelin (who's cloned from Aylatani). But they're from another alternative reality so no one knows quite how. Laurelin isn't their mother, anyway. Maybe alternately she is.


Erica: There's no proof that aliens are behind any of the weird things that have been happening.


Mandy: I hope it's not going to be too hot to be a wolf in Isla Tropicana. Maybe it gets cold by the Pacific Ocean at night, so fur will help.


Lark washed dishes and tried to not be jealous.


OH NO THIS IS TERRIBLE PLZ GET THROUGH THAT JOB REALLY FAST!


When Mandy wasn't working in the garden, she just swam in the pool all night. Wendy has a very low bore-tolerance, so she was in the pool a lot too.


I don't know what Mandy was skilling, but she was having a very hard time keeping her aspiration high. WHICH IS WHY SHE NEEDED THOSE DARN POINTS ZSXHJZNXCBZ!! You'll see in the next couple of updates that she's struggling.


And so was Finch. Rilly kept watch over him while he slept (because he transformed at work and came home without the energy boost), and was very angry at the world for being so difficult for Knowledge Sims.


And that's all for now! Peeps, I'm sorry that it's taken a whole week to write this update, when I said I would post it during the weekend! I had a cold and I just couldn't sentences that weren't completely stupid. If I can do it, I'll try to make it up to you and get 7.19 out faster! TTFN and Narrator out! :D
