University, Week 15

University - Week 15

Well, well, here we are at another long and 'confusing' University entry. It has been a long while since I have done one of these. Heh. Let's see how I do. I'll get started.

Lot: The Greek House Crumplebottom - 80 Crumplebottom Road - Jeannie Strickland, Lia Strickland, Melissa Strickland, Felecia Strickland, Kyanne Strickland, and KeyKel Bostic

The first to graduate was Jeannie Strickland, pictured above. You have seen Jeannie back in the Falls already in the blog entries The Business of Dogs, Dad's Update and Ghostly Jealousy. It is a little confusing, I know. She had already graduated from University. My apologies. I decided to do one Uni update this round instead of two. Next round I think I will go back to two. But here she is graduating with honors, of course. My sims do not graduate any other way. You will see her shortly in her own blog entry, all moved into her home back in Prosperity Falls, and looking for love.

Also graduating was Kyanne Strickland, daughter of Fraiser and Camryn Strickland, who passed away this round. You have seen Kyanne back in the Falls already in Ghostly Jealousy where she is raising a family around the ghosts of her husband Markey's ancestry. She is one brave woman.

Also in this house are three sisters to Jeannie, who all have a year and a half to go to graduation:




Melissa, who is a Pop sim, being seen here getting her first kiss from townie Taylor Wheeler. They are a possible match in my book, but only one bolt. I may pair them up. We will see. If she can't find at least a two bolt, it will be Taylor.




Lia Strickland kissing KeyKel Bostic in the flower bed. They are a match, two bolts. KeyKel eventually moved into the Greek House with the Strickland women. He was a newcomer to Uni this round. I will show his newbie picture in a moment.

The last Strickland female is Felecia. She is an extremely camera shy knowlege sim. She has no desire to find love, so I really don't play her much. She is very quiet. I will most likely move her into a house with one of her siblings to become a spinster aunt, or move her back home to mom and dad, Bulldog and Madelyn Strickland.




Here is KeyKel and Melissa working the greenhouse at the Greek House. It was highly successful and many gardening badges of different levels were won, along with the Wishing Well.


Lot: Zeon Bostic, Trudy Strickland, Shawn-Michael Strickland and Joan Robbins


Ah. Another Robbins graduating, sort of. Zeon is the son of Yasika Robbins-Bostic and Andre Bostic. He is betrothed to Trudy Strickland. The original Bostic house is going to lose its red head freckle skinned Sims, I think. heh Yes, Zeon and Trudy will move to the Bostic Homestead.




Zeon, a handsome Robbins as always.




Trudy is purpley-pretty- and clever. I find it strange that she keeps growing up in purple. I just put the purple hair on her....she even has purple eyes. It agrees with her. heh.

NEWCOMERS

There were two newcomers to this lot who took over when Zeon and Trudy moved out.




Quavi and Daphne Robbins' daughter Joan




And Barry-James and Mackenzie Strickland's son Shawn-Michael. Here are a couple of pictures from those two. If ya ask me, he looks kinda creepy in this picture. He has really strong features that carried down from Maxis faces...Brandi Le Tourneau and Pao Mellon. Interesting mix. High cheekbones and slanty eyes from Pao, and full lips from Brandi.

Here is another 'commanding' picture of Shawn-Michael.





At any rate, he gave Joan her first kiss. AWWwwww!









How nice. LOL

Here is a less than flattering picture that was taken over the supper table. We find that Shawn-Michael is a little self centered.




He is one of those Sims that constantly primps. I find that very funny!




And here is Joan 'squeezing' Shawn-Michael upon return from finals. You can really see the resembalence here between her and her father Quavi.

Lot: Vonfirmath Capehart, Java Jan Bostic, Mich Robbins, Carla Strickland, Claire Capehart, Woody Strickland, and Diane Strickland

Oh my goodness what a full dorm! It seems like I just kept adding to it and adding to it! hah. Here we go, graduations first.




Java Jan Bostic, daughter of Yasika Robbins-Bostic and Andre Bostic. Doesn't she look absolutely glad to be getting out of Uni? Her brother Zeon graduated out of the last lot. The last round she became engaged to Vonfirmath Capehart.




Vonfirmath Capehart. His mind is already on how he is gonna provide for Java Jan back in the Falls. He is a serious minded fortune Sim.




Carla Strickland, first adopted child of Chevy and Kirstee Strickland. She is a family sim that had a hard time finding love. (She does grow up nicely in clothes form H & M Fashion, though!) She met Trevor Jeffries last round. Those two are a match.




Mich Robbins, son of Quavi and Daphne Robbins. Eh, Mich, you don't carry off the funky look like your dad did. We will find you some different clothes when we visit you back in Prosperity Falls. I appreciate the fact you have a spaceship on your shirt!


NEWCOMERS

Well, had to get some new ones in there since four were leaving.




Quite a dark picture. Eh, my apologies. The girl in the red sweater is Diane Strickland, adoptive daughter of Chevy and Kirstee Stickland. She sucked many skills from Kirstee before she left home. The other newcomer is Woody Strickland, another adoptee from Kirstee and Chevy. Chevy gave up all his skills points to Woody before he flew the coop. Diane is a romance Sim with a want to woo hoo 20 Sims. Doable. Woody is a pleasure sim who wanted 50 dream dates.




Here is Woody getting a date. I must have thought in the beginning of his college years I would try his LTW. I decided I didn't want to. So he switched to Pop at the end of his Sophomore year, and now wants to be a Hall of Famer. Ha! Doable, definetly.




Another newcomer to this dorm, and adoptee, Claire Capehart. Daughter of Tomas and Roxanna Capehart. She and Woody are a two bolt attraction.




So now for engagements. Carla Strickland to Secret Society Member Trevor Jefferies. She met him last Uni Update. They are a two bolt couple. This will be odd for me when I play this house in the Falls....two Maxis Sims. Hahaha




Ah. Here is Mich Robbins proposing to dormie from another dorm Wendy Kimbrell. They are a two bolt attraction. Yes, I boolproped her to make her change clothes for the engagement pic. Here is another pic of her in her normal clothes. You might recognize her from your game.




She and Mich became best friends here.




This is a funny picture. Mich and Wendy had just fallen in love, woo-hooed in the photobooth, and then made out. Vonfirmath Capehart congratulates Mich on falling in love. :)




And here is Woody Strickland and Claire Capehart haveing a little smoochie-rolla in the front lawn. What happened in the dorm this round?




Lot's-o-gardening. Again, a dark pic. What got into my photographer??? Many badges of different levels were won, as well as the Wishing Well. I am using it for Diane. She is making three new friends a day, all of whom she will woo-hoo to get her LTW before the end of her college years. What a slut! LOLOL




Here is a better picture of the gardening. Diane is workin' the 'maters.




And here we see the streakers do not take a break during winter. Haha...see, there is the Wishing Well.


Lot: Sarah Strickland and Andrew McClelland




These two have accomplished everything in Uni. Greek House, Secret Society, and BSOC. Now they are just waiting to graduate. The have one semester left go to. Here you see they are planning their future.

They also had a highly successful greenhouse. They both managed a gold badge in gardening, and of course earned the Wishing Well for the lot.


Lot: Heather Strickland, Veronica Capehart, Jim-Bob Stricklnd, Sheri Trimble, and Raleigh Bostic

NEWCOMERS



Since there were no graduates out of this dorm, we will start with the one and only newcomer, that being Raleigh Bostic. His brother Zeon just graduated, as well as his sister Java Jan Bostic. He is a son of Yasika Robbins-Bostic and Andre Bostic.




Upon opening the lot this round Sheri Trimble is thrown into aspirational failure upon learning that her Uncle Niles had passed on. Sheri had a fear of a family member dying, apparently. Her fiancee, Jim-Bob Strickland, looks on.




Did I say finacee? Yes, these two are now an item, and will be gittin' hitched. They have been friends since Jim-Bob was ten.




And here Sheri gets a love letter from Jim-Bob. AWwww!




Raleigh Bostic and Heather Strickland. Yup, these two are a couple and will be gettin' married.




Veronica Capehart really isn't thinkin' much about love these days, she wants 5 Top Level Businesses. So far whislt in Uni, she has worked two to the top. This dorm has nearly $200,000 because of Veronica's financial activities.




This is a picture from the pet store Veronica ran for a while. I call it "Senior Discount Tuesday" because there is nothing but seniors shopping. HAHAHA! This means everytime I open a lot, I look in backpacks and find lots of pet supplies. heh




Despite lack of yard space at this dorm, the kids did manage to build a small green house in the front beside the entry doors. Here is Veronica getting her silver badge.




It was a highly successful garden, and the Wishing Well was earned.




The dorm mates take turns with it every day wishing for friends. Here it is Sheri's turn. Look, there is Wendy Kimbrell, Mich Robbin's fiancee!


Lot: Zaine Robbins, Florentilla Capehart, Theresa Rauscher, Nicholaus McClelland, Robin Trimble, KeyWon Bostic and KeyKel Bostic

NEWCOMERS




Again, no gradutates here, so on with the newcomers. This is Florentilla Capehart, second alien daughter of Tomas Capehart. She was conceived via the dance sphere.




KeyWon Bostic, son of Yasika Robbins Bostic and Andre Bostic.




KeyKel Bostic, son of Yasika Robbins Bostic and Andre Bostic.



And last but not least, Robin Trimble, sister to Sheri Trimble from the lot above, and daughter to Roz Strickland-Trimble and Shane Trimble.




Awww! As soon as Florentilla walked into the dorm, she gently caressed Zaine's cheek without saying a word. :) I had already planned to get them together. I checked out their attraction... 3 bolts! Yeah! heh




Needless to say, first kiss soon followed.




KeyKel and Lia Strickland fell in love here, but he soon moved to the Greek House to be closer to her. Yup, it was the first time in his life he moved away from his twin KeyWon.

So, who do I have in mind for KeyWon?




Robin Trimble. :)

The engagement quickly took place.







Ahhhh...young love. heh




Gad. I am slackin'. I didn't get any 'alone' pictures of Nicholaus McClelland and Theresa Rauscher. They are an item as well. He is in the green pants, and she is in the tan colored pants. There the kids are raking leaves for the composter. Yes, another successful garden, and another Wishing Well. My goal is for every lot to have one in Uni that I have played.


New Lot: Jessica Robbins




Ah. Herre we see Mamma Daphne Robbins dropping of the freshman Jessica.




I did give her a bit of a makeover. She is living alone for the moment in the same house Joy Capehart used. Eh. For some reason I didn't send her intended, Rocco Trimble, to school with her. BAH. When I get around to it, I will catch him up so he can graduate with her. Jessica is a beauty. She has three years left to go.


New Lot: Nacarlos Robbins, Nacarlius Robbins, Jenny Trimble and Kelly Trimble




Again, Mamma Robbins dropping her offspring at University. This is Nacarlius.

For some reason, I really slipped a cog here and did't get any newcomer pictures except his. The camera was very friendly to Nacarlius. I suppose it is because genetically, he is a third generation pointy ear in the Robbins family. I hope to get his children to have them.




Another noobie picture of him. He is very Robbins. I am pleased with the way he turned out. Heh.



This is...ehhh...his twin Nacarlos and his intended, Jenny Trimble. Here are better pictures.







Yes. *Dreamy Sigh* another first kiss episode.




And first woo-hoo wasn't far behind.




Nacarlius and Kelly Trimble are an item as well.




Oh oh.. I can see it now. Pointy eared Aliens. :)




And like the other lots, there was a successful garden here, and the Wishing Well was earned. Man, havin' that thing on the lot, you can get BSOC in no time. This group has 3 years to go in Uni.

That is all for now. :) Thanks for reading.

The Enforcer

TITLE: The Enforcer

Lot: 123 Alien Way - Jenn, Regis, Yazibell, Ketrina, Infinity-Nevermore

Last Visit: The Purest - Zaed's daughter Jenn and her fiancee Regis McClelland had graduated from University and bought a peice of properity with their Uni money. They had a home built that 'was to their liking'. Very spacy looking. There was a big wedding in which Jenn's brother Xuan Robbins became enemies with Regis' step mother, Tosca Capehart-McClelland. Zaed found out Jenn had not told Regis anything at all about the Mission. Jenn and Regis had a pure blooded alien daughter named Yazibell.


This entry features Infinity-Nevermore, runner up in the Prosperity Falls Trivia contest.

It is I! Jenn Robbins-McClelland, Mother of all pure blooded Anotothians on Earth.... OOOOooo!!!!! AAAAhhhhhhHHHH!!!!

Lots of Alien cussing (*&*^%@@#!!!!! Fiddlesticks! This hurts!!!!!!

Alien Chatter:

Xuan: What's the matter Jenn? Can't you think up any Earth cuss words??? *snicker*

Jenn: Shaddup Xuan! This is a Family Blog!!!!! Children read this!!

Xuan: Errr...where is Regis?

Jenn: He is AHHHH!! at.... *Shhht! Shhht! Whoosh!* At work!!!!!

Zaed: Be strong my daughter! This won't last long!!!!

Jenn: This must be TWO PURE BLOODS!!!! *pfft...pfft....shhht...shhht....*

Xuan: Hahahah! I am glad we are not on Anatoth! I wouldn't want to go thru that!

Jati: Xuan! Do not berate the birthing sequence! It is necessary for us to spread our DNA on earth!

Zaed: Yes! Necessary! I have done it myself!

Jenn: So YOU SAY........aHHHHHH~~~~~ It is done!!!!!

Jenn: It is another daughter! Her name shall be Ketrina! Awww...isn't she the loveliest thing you have ever seen? *smooch*

Zaed: She has my skintone! She has our DNA!

Xuan: *BUZZZ!* And she has the pureblood Skintone as recessive......

Jati: Where did that come from Xuan?

Xuan: *Shrugs shoulder* I dunno.

Zaed: Xuan can apparently read DNA, Jati.

Xuan: *BUZZ* She also has the golden eyes...

Zaed: *Sigh* I think you are wrong Xuan. The child's eyes are clearly blue.

Xuan: I'M TELLIN' YA! She has the golden eyes!

Jati: Shaddup Xuan. Must be a fluke.

Xuan: *SIGH* Why won't nobody believe me????

Regis: *Sniff* I just lost my job in the Crime Syndicate.

Zaed: I have better plans for you, my son in law. I gave the directive to let you go.

Regis: Oh, ok then.

Zaed: You will get a job in the Education field.

Regis: This is strange. Talkin' in my head. HAHAHA

Xuan: Wait 'till you see what else is strange....

Jati: That is ENOUGH Xuan!

Regis: Who's the pretty girl? Huh? Is it you? Yes, it's you!~

Jenn: Regis...I have something to tell you....

Regis: Not now. I am playing with Yazibell. We are getting ready to blow out her birthday candles.


THE NEXT DAY...........

Infinity: *Whew* What a rough landing...those lightening bolts are quite a ride. Hmmm..I think this is the place. Yup. This is it alright. I can smell disobedience a mile away.

Infinity: Hi Jenn. I am movin' in.

Jenn: And who are you??? What do you want?

Infinity: My name is Infinity-Nevermore. I come from the Offices Of Civil Disobedience on Anatoth. My position title is ENFORCER.

Jenn sucks in breath and covers her mouth with her hand. Fear quickly spreads through her veins like fire. "Daddy! Daddy! Help me!"

Infinity: Nope, he can't hear ya babe. It is just you and me. HAHAHA!!!! Hey look. It ain't so bad. I come to set down some rules for ya. Ya know...enforce the rules.

Jenn: You should be visiting Xuan! He is the one that breaks all the rules! I try so hard!

Infinity: Xuan does nothing but shoot off his mouth. But he does what he is told. He's a good boy.

Jenn: But...but....

Infinity: Enough about Xuan. The King has plans for him. He is none of your concern, got it? Infinity rudely jabs a finger in the middle of Jenn's chest.

Jenn numbly nods. Beads of sweat break out on her brow.

Wh...wh...why are you here? What have I done?

Infinity: Ah...the question is...what haven't you done? Ifninity lights up a Marlboro. Ha. Ruby told me these were good.

Jenn: Ruby? Who's Ruby?

Infinity: I told ya! Xuan is none of your concern!

Jenn's confusion is apparent. Cigarettes aren't good for your lungs. Besides, you are a child. Put that down NOW!

Infinity flashes instantly onto Jenn's back. See where I am babe? I am on your back. I will ride you forever! You will do what I say...when I say it.....she yanks Jenn's hair. You don't wanna know the consequences!

Jenn: OOOWW!!!!! Alright! Alright! *whine* So why are you here? Infinty jumps down to the floor, satisfied she got her point across.

Infinity: Alright. I am glad we understand each other. Here it is. Ya haven't told Regis what's up. Ya know, with the Mission. I can tell you don't intend to. Right babe?

Jenn: Well, I will. I really will.

Infinitiy: Yeah right. I can see in your mind. You are afraid. Yeah, you heard me. How do you think you can run an entire Mission if you have fear?

Jenn: I don't know what you mean! *defiant*.

Infinity: Cut the crap, Robbins. You cornered your brother Jati at University and told him you should be head of the Mission, and that you were gonna take over! (University, Week 14. Scroll to the bottom.) All that sounded good, Miss Smartypants. Then what did you do? You let simoleons and human love get in the way of all that big talk. You let Regis bring you to an empty field, and build you a house. Where you will live happily ever after. *sarcasim* Then to top it all off, you have no guts to tell him about the Mission!! I had such hopes for you....

Jenn: What do you mean, you had hopes for me?

Infinity: Every descendant of Timo and Kamika have somebody like me on Anatoth assigned to them. Yep. We watch. I have a big book that is titled "All About Jenn Robbins". You are special because you came from Anatoth. I keep tabs on ya. When things go awry, we have to come down and straighten things out. I am the first one that ever had to come down.

See, this job on Anatoth is cush. We just watch whoever we are assigned to, take notes, report to the King at the end of the week. Take home a paycheck. BUT NOOO.....you messed up and here I am. You embarrass me Robbins. I had to actually leave the office and come down here. *sigh*. I thought you were gonna speak up...do a take over..ya know....a Babe In Control type of thing. Looks like the guys win. Jati will run the Mission.

Jenn: Wait! Wait! What can I do! I still wanna run the Mission!

Infinity: No can do Jenn. You are poppin' out the kids now. That is your Mission. I will look the other way about the Regis thang if you teach your children about the Mission...without fail...

Regis: BooHoo! I lost my job...

Jenn: Nanny, can you hold Ketrina for a minute???? My husband needs comfort.

Guy In Atari Shirt: These people are disgusting.....what whimps!!!! What a disappointment to the Mission!

Xuan: Huh?

Guy in Atari Shirt: Shaddup Xuan.

Infinity: It is certian death Jenn...to the Mission if descendants of Timo and Kamika start failing to pass on the Mission information. I mean it. Maybe death to you too. Kamika was a definate disappointment to the King. I hope we don't have to add you to that disappointment.

Jenn: Cross my heart, stick a pin in my eye. I will teach my children. I promise.

Infinity: I think you will Robbins. I think you will.

Infinity: Hmm...sez here in The Book Of Kamika Robbins .... Kamika wanted to romance human men...didn't want any children...hmm.....she had one by the mail carrier Pao Mellon....Kerris...who went on to become Mayor of Prosperity Falls...really didn't concentrate much on selling the mission to her descendants. Hm. They have little to no knowledge of it. Well. We will concentrate on Timo's descendants....

Regis: Come on everybody! It is Ketrina's birthday! Come on! Aww..my baby is growing up. After she grows, no more babies.

Jenn: Awww...isn't she the cutest thing?

Xuan: See, I told ya she had the golden eyes. *Does victory dance*

Jati: I see, Xuan. She was born with blue eyes, then they turned yellow when she aged to toddler. Ah well, many human babies are born with blue eyes, then they turn when the child gets older. Good call!

Xuan: Thank ya, thank ya... *bows*

Jati: I just hope that this does not mean that she carries more human traits...

Jenn: My daugher, human? I don't think so! She will be the strongest Anotothian ever!

Infinity, to Jenn only: Heh, you got that right babe. I'm watching you.

Yazibell: Hey everybody! Here is my new friend Richie Landgrabb! I think I will marry him!

Richie: Hahaha! Yeah, we are gonna be husband and wife!

Zaed: Jati, mark that one down. It will work.

Jati: Yes father, I see what you mean. Even though they are second cousins. He carries the Anotothian skintone, and she carries the pureblood skintone. Very good!

Infinity: Just letting you know, books have been started on Anatoth for Yazibell and Ketrina.

Jenn: Can't you be in charge of their books?

Infinity: Nope. All it means is that two more people on Anatoth now have a job.

Infinity-Nevemore makes an entry in Jenn's book: Jenn begins to teach her childen with gusto about the Mission. It seems she has split loyalties between the Mission, and human love. Apparently, her human grandmother's love was strong. (Meadow Thayer) It runs in her veins from her father Zaed. My visit here is already bearing fruit.

Yazibell: Hey mamma, I got an A at school! I am number one!

Jenn: Yes you are sweetie, and in more than one way. You are gonna be number one in the Mission, right?

Yazibell: Yes mamma. Me and Richie will have lots of kids.

Jenn: That's my girl!

Yazibell: Hey everybody! Meet my new friend Infinity-Nevermore! She moved in so we can get married!

Infinity: I don't think so kid. Let go of me.

Yazibell. Oh well. I guess I will marry Richie. We are gonna have lots of kids you know.

Infinity: You got that right. Lots of 'em. *sigh*

Jenn: Time for Ketrina's birthday. One two three...blow out the candles!

Infinity: Woo Hoo! I love birthday cake! Lemme at it!

Regis: All my girls are beauties.

Ketrina: Thank you papa.

Infinity: Jenn, here is a communication from the King. He is disappointed you have only produced two children.

Jenn: I am pregnant again already. Hey, how come this news isn't coming from Zaed??

Infinity: Errr...everything about you goes through me first. If I let it pass, it will then go to Zaed. I screen everything.

Jenn: I see. So Zaed doesn't know right now the King is disappointed in me.

Inifnity: Nope. It is only between you, me, and the King.

Jenn: Oh my little warrior princesses...you will do fine in the Mission. I will see to it.

Infinity: *snicker* Ya mean I will see to it.

Jenn: Ahhh...okay.

It is I, Jenn! I am number one in the Mission. I will go forth and birth many children.

Infinity: Yadda, yadda yadda....



ODD PIC OUT:

Jenn reached the top of her career, she is now perm plat.

Accomplishments this round: Jenn: TOC and LTW: Mad Scientist. Two new Sims Infinity-Nevermore and Ketrina.

Ghostly Jealousy

TITLE: Ghostly Jealousy

Lot: The Gentleman's Club - Family Name - Capehart - Markey, Kyanne, Bryce, Kobe and Queenie

Last Visit - Preparing For Kyanne - The last visit we had with Markey, he had just graduated from University, and had moved into a property his father still owned. The property is known as The Gentleman's Club in Prosperity Falls, as it was originally bought by Markey's grandmother, Morgan-Rose Bostic, a notorious romancer in the Falls. She entertained many a gentleman here. Markey worked hard to get the home ready for Kyanne who was still in University. Here, we pick up Markey just as Kyanne arrives from college, where she had graduated Summa Cum Laude.


Alfred Hitchcock narrating: Good evening. Surprisingly, I find myself back at the address of The Gentleman's Club in Prosperity Falls. I really never thought I would be here again after the house was vacated by Tomas Capehart and his family. You see, they moved away from these walls because it was haunted. What do I mean by haunted? Ghostly happenings. Disappearences. Alien activity. It was too nerve racking for Mr. Capehart, so he and his family hastily vacated the premesis and moved to the House of Canbius.

Mr. Capehart did not sell the properity. It stayed in the family for decades, the house standing empty. Along came Markey Capehart, Mr. Capehart's grown son. He decided to make a go of the place. We'll see.

First of all, his bride, Kyanne Strickland came home from college, and moved right in with him.

Markey was very glad to see his bride. He had worked very hard weeks prior to her arrival to get everything just right to her liking. He had thought the property had cured with age; as he had not witnessed at all any of the supernatural things he had remembered as a boy.

Kyanne was dealing with the loss of her father, Fraiser Strickland, and had inherited a good amount of money from his estate. She thought it best to go job hunting right away to bring more money into the house to pay for the big wedding she and Markey had planned to have in the side yard beside the house.

The day of the wedding arrived, and the guests filed, one by one, to the home of Markey Capehart, and the "to be" Kyanne Strickland-Capehart.

THE WEDDING GUESTS

Mother to the Groom, and daughter of Morgan-Rose Bostic




Father to the Groom

Mary Strickland, adopted neice of the Bride




Ruby Strickland, neice of the Bride




Friend of the Bride and Groom




Karen Strickland, sister in law to the Groom, and sister to the Bride




Jeannie Strickland, cousin to the Bride




Trudy Strickland, sister to the Bride




Scally Capehart, brother to the Groom




Cara Strickland, sister in law to the Bride




Kolton Strickland, brother to the Bride




Kamika Robbins, Ghost In Residence

Ghost in residence, you say? Yes. Ms. Robbins did come out to greet the happy couple when they returned from their honeymoon the same evening of the day of the party. We will get to that in a moment. In the meantime, the wedding ceremony and party was a great success.

The happy couple waited under the altar to speak their vows. Their guests were rather slow to come to sit in the chairs to witness.

The bride touches her beloved as if to see if he is really there. Is this wedding really happening? Surely she must pinch herself to see if she is really being wed to her three bolt attraction!

Markey's brother and sister in law danced happily through the entire ceremony.

They say their I Do's.

Here I must take note. Another notorius Romancer of Prosperity Falls is sitting front and center at this ceremony, none other than Xuan Robbins, grand nephew of the Ghost In Residence, Kamika Robbins, who was also a Romance Sim. It is of no doubt in my mind Mr. Robbins is searching for his next Conquest.

Xuan: You got that right, mister! I am always on the lookout for a babe. I am here also to see the mother of my child Xen. Cara Strickland.

Passionate kisses




Have a little cake

And now, for a little merrymaking, generally speaking.

The wedding and honeymoon was over soon enough, and the happy couple returned to the residence known as The Gentleman's Club.

Ms. Kamika Robbins wasted no time letting hersef be known. She scared the bride half out of her wits; but being a Knowledge Sim, she rather lenjoyed the experience. Markey, however, was drawn to the dead woman's romanticism.

After the ghostly encounter, it was time for a little personal comfort between the couple. And that was surely not difficult to come by.

A few days passed and the dear lady of the home placed a phone call. Even though she was now happily married to her beloved, she found she did have a void in her life. During the hours her husband was at work, and she was alone in the house, she longed for company.

The Animal Control Officer of Prosperity Falls was completely charmed by Kyanne, and left her with the gift of a puppy, one she named Queenie, a female.

She was so enraptured by the dog she actually took it to work with her. She could not bear to be with out her for a moment.

Shortly after Kyanne and Markey had adopted Queenie for company, Kyanne realized she was going to have a baby. Which lead Kyanne to think about other things. Like company for her new little one that was on the way.

She befriends the neighborhood stray, Kobe the cat. The cat knew a good thing when he saw it, and decided to stay with the Capeharts. So now the house that stood empty for so long, now housed a happily married couple with a baby on the way, a dog, and a cat. This got the attention of another Ghost In Residence.

Ms. Morgan-Rose Bostic herself. After having peace in the back yard for so long in the family cemetary, she decided it was getting too populated and began to voice her discontent.

All seemed right with the world as far as Kobe was concerned. Until.....

Queenie the puppy turned into Queenie the grown up dog.

Constant fighting quickly ensured between the two pets, and they quickly became enemies.

Finally the day came the baby was born; it was a boy whom the first time but happy parents named Bryce. He had the purple Strickland eyes like his mother, and the snowleopard skin of his father.

All this activity was just too much for....

The third Ghost In Residence, Lucas Turner, Markey's grandfather. Apparently, these ghosts did not want to be bothered with population on this lot!

Life went on as usual in the Capehart home despite the ghostly activities. Kyanne settled in happily into her roll as Mother.

Bryce soon grew up to a happy toddler. All the ghostly concerns did not seem to bother him.

Dear readers, this is where I leave you. A happy baby, a happy mother, and fighting pets. Is this place still the supernatural cesspool of Markey Capehart's youth? Or is it the residence of a normal happy family? We shall see. Until next week. Goodbye.


ODD PICS OUT:

The dog Queenie constantly barked at the nightside table in the master bedroom. I figured out it was in the way of her getting to the corner of the bed to chew on it. heh




Kyanne reaches the top of her career, although it wasn't her lifetime want.

ACCOMPLISHMENTS THIS ROUND: Kyanne: Top of Career - Mad Scientist. One new Sim: Bryce

Dad's Update

TITLE: Dad's Update

Lot: Landgraab IV - Malcom, Aazia, Thurston and Richie

Last Visit: Mission Additions - Aazia Robbins graduated from University and went straight to the home of her fiancée, Malcom Landgraab. He immediately took her shopping at Amelia's Closet where they purchased a wedding trouseau. A wedding was held in Malcom's mansion with all the Robbinses in attendance. Aazia gave birth to Thurston, and was very proud to contribute to The Mission. She ended the entry with the news she was pregnant with a second child.

Aazia: Yes father. I have a third child on the way. I hope it will be a boy. Call Xuan over? To find out the sex of the child? How would he know that? Ah. Since he can tell I have a fetus he ought to be able to tell the sex of the child as well? I don't know father.

Jati: Do you hear that Xuan? Uncle Quavi is wishing.

**Xuan remembers the King told him he had one more gift** Ahhh...I can't tell what she is having. Only one fetus, though.

Jati: Xuan. I can tell you are different. Something has happened.

Xuan: I don't know what you mean. **defiant**

Jati: I will find out Xuan. You can bet on that.

Aazia: Yes, father. Malcom is being a very good provider for us. He thinks constantly about making simoleons and spends much time on the phone talking to his businesses. He also has a job, father. YES! He is in the Crime Industry like Uncle Zaed. Has Uncle Zaed mentioned him? He has? I must thank Uncle Zaed for finding a position for him in the Syndicate. What? He isn't that good? What happened?

Well, at least we do not have to depend on his income from the job. See what a wonderful auto he drives! And the huge mansion he provides for us. Yes, father. I have already remodeled part of the upper floors to make more room for our children.

About the children. Thurston was a very fast learner, and spent much time developing charisma. Yes, I believe it will ensure he will produce many for the Mission.

I was already showing in my abdomen with Richie, when it was time for Thurston to have his birthday to child. He grew so quickly! I had such fun, especially knowing his birthday was only one of many more to come for me to attend for my children.

Thurston is a very handsome boy, indeed. He carries fine DNA for the Mission.

Father, it seems like I do not remember the pain of childbirth until it is time to do it again. Mother never did either? Yes, I know she did it a number of times. You've got to be kidding. As soon as she had a child she wanted another right away? A mortal woman wanted this? I know that is how it is in the Mission. I did not realize humans were likewise.

Richie looks much like Thurston. He is blond like Malcom. Oh, he is blond like you? Oh that is right. I carry recessive DNA for blond hair. It is no wonder both of our boys are blond. (Editor: Actually the blond hair was brought into the Mission by Meadow Thayer. Timo's sister Kamika had blond hair, but so far it has not surfaced in her branch of the family).

After Richie was born, I spent alot of time in physical activity. I have been studying gardening, father. Yes. I have learned that we can grow our own food. I know, I know Xuan was doing something with that. That is where I got the idea. I am doing something he didn't do though. I am making an immense compost pile first. I all autumn long I raked the leaves in the back yard and filled two composting containers with them. I added old newspapers and trash from the kitchen Next spring I will plant a fine garden. I know it seems incredible that dead leaves and old cardboard milk cartons can make a good garden!

Xuan: You bet your sweet bippy I was gardening. I even built a greenhouse. Ooohhh my aching back!!!!!

Jati: I've said it once, I will say it again. Stop being a wuss, Xuan.

Xen: GOO!!!!

Xuan: There's my boy!!!

Jati: *SIGH*

Thurston really looks up to his father. Yes, I know. I have been teaching him about the Mission a little along, but he seems to have formed a strong bond with Malcom.

Malcom spends much time with the boy playing catch outside, and the like. Thurston would much rather be in male company than with me in the house learning about the Mission.

Why, when it is time for Thurston to do his schoolwork, Malcom is there with them, doing it outside. Oh I don't know father. I do get disenheartened sometimes. It is not as easy as it was back in the compound with you and mother. I know, I know, mother knows nothing about the Mission. It just seems different here.

It seemed like in no time at all it was time for Richie to grow up. I felt a little perturbed I was not showing at this time with child like I was when Thurston grew up. I was falling behind in child production! But, I made up for it later.

Richie is as handsome as his father and brother. The females will find him to be attractive.

Thurston continues to expand on his charisma studies by talking at length every day with our parrot, Maximillion. I can tell he wishes very much to do well in business like his father and I know that will help him contribute to the Mission.

Father, it was shortly after Richie grew to toddler I started feeling morning sickness, and I realized I was pregnant again. I was so relieved! I know! It took far too long for me to get pregnant again. What? No, I don't think there is anything wrong with Malcom's swimmers. That is just the way it worked out. I must admit, with all the raking I was doing, and chasing after the boys I was quite tired. I will endeavor to keep myself open to Malcom's advances in the future!

There is one thing though that Thurston and I shared in common. Since the boy enjoys outdoor activities so much, he does enjoy raking.

When Richie grew to child, I was then showing with the third child. I know. I am behind. This time my friends Joy Capehart-Robbins and Jeannie Strickland was at the birthday party. Oh, Joy? She is doing fine. No, she hasn't mentioned that she is pregnant again. What did you say? Oh, dad. I didn't hear that. NO. Really? All the kids at Joy and Xuan's?

Jati: XUAN! Do you hear that??? Uncle Quavi is spilling the beans!!! He is telling Aazia he is the father of Joy's children!

Xuan: Yes, Jati, I hear him.

***BAM***

Xuan: What did you do, Jati????

Jati: I stilled his tongue.

Xuan: You what? ????

Jati: It is a cheap parlour trick. It is done using our telepathy abilities. Instead of listening for him, I merely listen for him to quiet.

Xuan: I can't do that.

Jati: Good thing.

Richie

Dad, dad? Oh, hello mom. I was just telling dad the boy's birthdays were fun, and we really missed you two here. Yes, I know dad isn't the same these days. Yes, yes, I will bring the boys over soon to visit. You too. Love you. *click*

ACCOMPLISHMENTS THIS ROUND: One new Sim - Richie

Gardening With Mr. Knowledge

TITLE: Gardening With Mr. Knowledge

Lot: Strickland.1 - Family name Strickland - Bubbs, Joy, Lonnie, and Pepper

Last Visit: One Is The Loneliest Number - During our last visit with Mr. Knowledge, he had just graduated from University and had moved into his three room gothic style home. He gave us lessons on how to get a dog for free by befriending the neighborhood pooch, Pepper. The mutt moved in with him. He met Joy Hiatt, a townie who had two bolts for him.-

The Disney narrator interviews Mr. Knowledge once again.

Hey Mr. Knowledge, long time no see. I see you have an icon above your head. Mr Knowledge sadly nods. That is a tombstone with a simoleon sign on it. Someone passed away?

Ah. Your father Niles Strickland passed, didn't he? I'm so sorry. Sim death can be painful. It is as sad in the pixel world as it is in real life. Say what? You gained $8,800 simoleons from your father's insurance? Ah. What a nice consolation. Hey, what are we learning today?

This is the side yard. Yes, yes, you have a very nice lawn. Oh? We are learning here? Ok, show us!

Ok Mr. Knowledge we have dug your garden for you, and we have fertilized it using bags of fertilizer. Now we are planting tomatos? Great. Means lots of juice later on.

I see the sprinklers are a great help. Why, there are plants coming up already! Mr Knowlege nods happily. I think this garden will distract you from your father's death. Oh? Not this? Ok what?

Oh no! Pepper has knocked over the garbage can and is making a big mess! Aren't you feeding her Mr. Knowledge? Better check out the food bowl. Just as I thought. It is empty. Feed that poochie!

Yes, yes, better admonish Pepper for this dirty deed. I think you are not paying enough attention to her!

Oh what a great idea. Putting garbage in the compost bin. Your trash will compost and become great fertilizer for your garden.

Ah, I see your diversion. Joy Hiatt has asked you out for a date? Are you going to go, Mr. Knowledge? Mr. Knowledge gives us a wide grin, and nods. Of course you are. Have fun. What? We can go too? Great! I'll call the taxi!

Alrighty then. Apparently we missed something. Where are you and Joy? At Four Winds Shopping in Prosperity Falls? Great. So, you admired Joy and kissed her, and you guys fell in love? Really? How do you feel about that?

You want to get engaged???? Mr. Knowledge, I thought you were a confirmed bachelor??? OOOHhhh...I see. You need help with the garden and yard work, and you figger having another person around full time is the way to do it! Smart thinking! How does Joy feel about this?

She agrees? Great! So she has no problem moving into the small three room gothic masion you have, along with Pepper? Okay!

*Ahem* errr...ok...I'll just wait over here.

Shopping for the wedding trouseau right away? You are right Mr. Knowledge. There is no better way to impress your lady. Be sure to buy a tux to match Joy's gown.

Okay so the date is over. I see Joy has brought you flowers as a thank you gift. Oh! There's a notecard attached! What does it say?

Well, that's....errrrr....as sweet as .......err.... GAWD! That is almost sickening!~ OH oh sorry Mr. Knowledge. Sorry. Yes, yes, tape that thing into your diary. Good idea.

I see it is the next day. My oh my you have lots of leaves on the ground. This is good compost material? I imagine so. Waht? You could really use some help now trimming the bushes and raking leaves?

**GACK** and our tomato garden is full of weeds! Time to get moving on this!

I see you called Joy. Time to get her working. Oh, wait? Ah okey dokey. Time for the ceremony. Might as well make it official.

THE WEDDING GUESTS




Doris Strickland - Mother of the Groom




Justice Strickland - Brother to the Groom




Karin Strickland - Sister in Law to the Groom




Heather Strickland - Sister to the Groom




Sarah Strickland - Sister to the Groom




Samantha Strickland - Strickland Servant




Andrew McClelland - Friend to the Groom, and finacee to Sarah Strickland


THE CEREMONY

And the crowd cheers! OOops...looks like your mother is facing the wrong direction to witness your wedding vows to Joy. Ah well, she is getting up there in age, right? I see Pepper doesn't think much about the whole thing.

Yes, yes, you have a beautiful bride. I wonder if she realizes what she is in for?

Have fun now, because I have a feeling the yard work is gonna start soon!

That's right, make all that work seem like fun. Why, the wedding party isn't even over yet and you are getting her used to the idea! No time like the present, I always say.

That's right, that's right....play along, little girl. hehe

The party is over. Looks like the limo is coming to take you on a great big 3 hour honeymoon. Have fun, kids.

Oh I see you are back, so soon. Got to the weeding right away I see. Good work. What's that? You did something else as well?

AAahhh...no thanks...we dont' need a play by play on this one. If it is all the same to you I think we will just wait out in the living room....ah....ok.

The next morning: Woah Mr. Knowledge, you sure look nifty this morning! You look slimmed down and all! What? That is what love will do to you? Hm. I am in love, and I don't look so slender! Oh ok, it is the mesh your outfit is made out of. Makes fat Sims look skinny. Ok. Kinda like wearin' black, right? It is Slenderizin'!

Those tomato plants are getting mighty fine looking. And Joy is doing a wonderful job keeping them weed free. What? She now has her bronze badge? GREAT! Hey, I hear someone in your front yard, Mr. Knowledge. Why don't you go see who it is?

Ah. It is your Uncle Bulldog Strickland. Why don't you invite him in to the house? Ya know, have a little lunch, perhaps.

Ewwww...maybe you should get some cooking lessons. Looks like lunch is burned. But hey, nobody seems to notice. Uncle Bulldog is giving you some advice about money, now that you are a married man. You should listen to him. He has 10 kids, and managed to raise them all with his salary, and his wife's. Your wife has a job, right?

Yes, Joy must have a job. You are doing yard work instead of her. You look happy today.

Oh no! But Joy doesn't look happy. She is pregnant? Mr. Knowledge, how did this happen? Mr. Knowledge wags his eyebrows. Well, I KNOW how it happened. I thought you two didn't want kids? Oh, oh, just more helping hands around the house. I see. Okay.

Awww, I see you are telling Joy there is more than enough money in the house. Calming her. You are a very wise man, Mr. Knowledge. Oh, wait. I guess that is why you are called Mr. Knoweldge! haha

It is a good idea to tell your wife that it is perfectly OK to have a baby. I see you are getting excited about having a little Mr. Knowledge running around the house.

Now that Joy knows you are okay with the idea of a child, she is okay with it too. Very good Mr. Knowledge. You sure pulled that one out of the fire!

Woah! It is snowing! But Mr. Knowledge, I see you are pruning the orchard. But I haven't seen you harvest your garden. Does this mean your tomatos are growing in the snow???

**GACK!!** It does! Snow covered tomatos! How are you gonna keep them alive? You have something else going on?

I see the lovely Joy is showing us her pooching belly. Full of that Little Mr. Knowledge, right?
She doesn't seem overly tired or grouchy. She is getting a break from the gardening, huh.

Well, the tomatos are ready to harvest, they didn't die! They are merely tasty versus bland. You did a good job with them. Growing in the snow and all. I see your composter is hard at work composting all those leaves and trash you put in there every day.

Joy is drinking lots of tomato juice, isn't she Mr. Knowledge? That is good for her, and the baby. It really is a quick thing to fix when her hunger bar is low. Fills her right up! Good going! You got over 100 tomatoes from 10 plants? Good grief! They were real producers!

Oh boy! The baby is here! The baby is here! What did you and Joy have Mr. Knowledge? A boy? What did you name him? Lonnie? Lonnie Knowledge....errrr...Strickland. I'll bet he will be as smart as you and Joy.

And what about Pepper? Awww...she looks so lonely, Mr. Knowledge. Maybe her and Lonnie can become close friends, do you suppose? All the gardening tips was very helpful, and hope you have something new to show us! Ah well, until next time. Buh-Bye!


Odd Pic Out:

Bubbs (aka Mr. Knowledge) gets his LTW. He is now a Mad Scientist. Joy wants to be a Criminal Masterment, but currently works in Education so they can get the bookcase.

ACCOMPLISHMENTS this round: Bubbs - TOC and LTW, Mad Scientist. One new Sim - Lonnie

The Business Of Dogs

TITLE: The Business Of Dogs

Lot: Robbins-Baer, Robbins Way - Family name Baer - Lynn, Kevin, Pinkie, and Polar - Dogs Suzi, Maxx and Cupid

Last Visit: To Vampire Or Not. Kevin built a house without Lynn's input as she was sleeping during the day as a vampire. They were wed at night, with Lynn's family, the Robbinses, in attendance. Alien chatter noted Lynn was no longer an Anotothian DNA wise, but she did have telepathy. Zaed commanded Lynn to procreate. Kevin convinced Lynn to give up her vampiric ways, although she did not lose the look of the vampire. Their first daughter, Pinkie Baer was born.


Kevin here, head of the family. The last time I spoke with you, I mentioned our dogs Suzi and Maxx were expecting pups, and our daughter Pinkie was just learning to walk. Here is one of her baby pictures.

She is a doll. She has extremely high cheekbones, I can tell already. I have them, and so does Lynn. It filled my heart with gladness to see her toddling across the floor. It wasn't long after that Suzi had her puppies.

Suzi had two females Demeter and Venus, and one male who we named Cupid. I planned to train the pups some, then sell them. I could use the extra cash to run the house. With an expanding family, I needed to bring those contractors back and add on a couple of rooms.

Because Lynn was pregnant again. Our family was expanding as fast as Suzi and Maxx were having puppies.

Alien chatter:

Zaed: Lynn, my daughter! You have borne one, and now you have another.

Lynn: Yes father. Kevin is a wonderful seed donor.

Xuan: Pfft! All guys have that stuff.

Lynn: Xuan! You are my brother, please do not insult my husband. He is a hard worker and provides for us accordingly.

Xuan: Oh I remember now. It was YOU who slept all dern day while he built a house for you. It was YOU never went to class the last year of college, and let Kevin do your homework. It was YOU who the world revolved around to accommodate your blood thirsty nature as a vampire. I remember now. Uh-huh.

Jati: Enough Xuan! Our sister Lynn has been fortunate to find a human male who takes the matter of rearing children seriously. (Kevin is a Family Sim). Kevin would be pleased to keep Lynn with child all her child bearing years. Unlike you!

Xuan rolls his eyes.

Zaed: My sons, please do not argue. I am an old man. I will die soon. I wish to go to my grave knowing the Mission was in good shape, and that all who stayed behind were of one mind for the Mission. Lynn, my daughter. Tell me. Do you have another one growing in your womb?

Xuan: No father, she doesn't.

Zaed's brows shoot up.

Lynn: Father I do not know why.

Jati: Maybe it is all those dogs keeping Kevin busy....

Alien chatter dies out

Lynn has been great helping me train the pups. Since she was home on maternity leave from the lab where she works, she had plenty of time on her hands. She is the one responsible for getting the dogs housebroken.

It seemed like every time she turned around, one of them was peeing on the floor. Lynn, being the trooper that she is was right on it admonishing the dog for making a mess, and cleaning up after them. Sometimes I think my wife deserves better than cleaning up dog crap constantly, but we are a team. She knows why the dogs are important to us right now.

Finally it was time for Pinkie's birthday. I could hardly wait to for her to grow up. I could imagine us raising dogs together. A family!

It was great me and Lynn having a birthday for our little girl. Times like this is really important to me being that I am the last of my family. Our daughter Pinkie will not know her grandparents from my side.

Yes, it was a family project. Cleaning is very important in raising healthy dogs, as well as keeping everything sanitary for Pinkie. And for the new little one growing inside of Lynn.

The money that Lynn received whilst she was on maternity leave really helped. It was great the lab where she worked continued to pay her every day.

Pinkie was so excited about our project and lil' biz on the side of selling dogs, she was telling the paperboy, Derek Vayajaker all about it. Already she was learning to network and let everyone know about our venture.

The day came when my second daughter, Polar was born. The cleaning service happened to be there cleaning when Lynn went into labor. I was grateful for that; someone was there to boil the water and provide clean towels. *chuckle*

Here is Polar's newborn picture. Newborns have a way of looking like they hold the wisdom of the Universe in their eyes.

Xuan: Little does he know! HAHAHA!

I love seeing my wife hold and feed our children. It is such a beautiful scene.

After Polar's birth, Lynn was promoted to Mad Scientist.

My gawd, the robotic hand she had to wear to the office was creepy looking. I could never figure out why that was a requirement of her job.

Pinkie fell into the roll of dog breeder with gusto. Every hand I could get with the project was important.

Polar grew up to be beautiful as well, just like her sister and her mother. I am so proud of all my girls. I hope it will not be long before we have another child. I had more work done to the house to make room for a larger family.

In the meantime, Lynn took her duties as trainer seriously. By now the puppies were housebroken, and Lynn was starting to train them on things like staying off the furniture. All this would come in handy when it came time to find suitable buyers for them.

Cupid



Demeter



Venus

All three of the pups grew up looking like their mother Suzi. I knew now I should get on with the business of selling them off. Pinkie had gotten attached to them, however, I knew I had to tell her we must sell the dogs. It was the way of the business.

Our paper boy Derek took a real shine to Venus. I guess all that selling Pinkie did early on helped out! She was sad at first to see Venus go, but then felt better about the whole thing when she realized Venus was going home with Derek.

He handed over $965 simoleons for her! Lynn handles all the money. She is great a managing our hard earned simoleons. I didn't know delivering papers paid so well. Hmm. Maybe I ought to check into getting a route.

Derek took Venus home that night. Our first sale. I was very excited.

We had many discussions around the supper table about our business on the side. I was certain I would be able to add to the house, and be able to put our children through college with the funds from the dog business. Everyone seemed to be in agreement.

The day Lynn's cousin, Jeannie Strickland came to visit, I eyed her as another potential customer. I just knew she could use a dog as she just graduated from University and could use canine companionship. She was living alone.

Lynn softened her up some by pillow fighting just like they used to do when they were younger and had sleepovers together. It was like old times.

Jeannie chose the other female, Demeter. She gave us $1,242 for her. Wow! all that training was paying off!

Lynn gave Jeannie some starting supplies for Demeter. A sleeping pad, a food bowl, and a chew bone. She took Demeter home with her.

Well, all that hard work paid off. We were able to add a second floor to the house, with two rooms and a bathroom. Life is good in the Baer house, and Maxx and Suzi are expecting again. Until next time.

Accopmplishments this round: Lynn reaches TOC and LTW: Mad Scientist. One new Sim, Polar Baer. Yeah, I couldn't resist that name. lol
