Epilogue - Ares Cygnus

Whoops, I set Ares' aspiration to wealth instead of knowledge. Let's reset that. His LTW is to max out all skills. Great! I can do that before the kid goes to college! Permaplat teenagers. Hahahaha.
The kid was permaplat by the end of the weekend. Ares just teened, too. Whew! Hades invited over extended family again and we were able to distribute another $150,000 out of the family funds. Wait, 18,000 x 7 + 28,000... well whatever.
Wow, Poseidon is hella old. 82 days. I have a feeling his time is nigh. Cripes, he may live to 85! Well, he made it to 84. Alrighty, #s: $290 to Andrea, $10,000 to Hades, $9,900 to Medusa, $2,500 to Pandora and $2,400 to Ares. All in the family.
Ares was abducted by aliens the same night. Wonderful. One of the children set the kitchen on fire trying to make lobster. Aww, Hades was demoted.
The kids went out Saturday to spend the day meeting people and to have fun before they head off to college. I let them run rampant and they all complained about the flower bush. Pandora struck up a conversation with Michael, the robot, and Medusa and Ares stuck close together. They took some pictures and the girls had filet mignon, then went home. Nothing exciting to my disappointment, So boring. I should send them all to college now.
I hate to see Hades lose his coolness factor by growing old, but it's got to happen. Andrea grew up the next day. Ah! Themis came over and acted all lovey to Hades right in front of Andrea! He got a nice round of slaps for it, too. Yikes! It took a bit to repair their marriage, but Andrea is still hella pissed.
Pandora and Medusa left for college. Ahhh, the house feels so empty. Hades and Andrea retired from their jobs and I just let them do whatever. They're back in love, anyway.
Never having been to Bluewater Village (I mean absolutely not at all since I've owned the game,) I took Ares to explore it. He went to the bakery. There was no one there at the register, but Ares met Ariel. Oh, never mind, Mr. Jacquet is pushing sales. Ares is chucking water balloons at Ariel. Not a good idea. Oh my God, nostalgia! I forgot one of the sim stations plays music from the original sims game. Alright, Ares has 3 days before college. Until then I intend for him to meet all his aunts and uncles and old robot butlers.
Ares moved to college (Only meeting about 1/3rd of his extended family,) with 28 $18,000 aquariums in his inventory, roughly $500,000 worth. Time to spruce up some of the dorms. I should give the money to the aunts he met.
Having nothing to do, I worked on his wants, even though he's permaplat. So he wrote a novel. I didn't know what to name it, so I took a look around and named it St. Ives. Description: The lotion of champions. It sold well.
Seriously! Everyone of Ares' room mates sleeps in his bed. They all have their own rooms and in those rooms are beds of equal quality! What the crack?! Ares went on a date with Troy Young. Troy keeps looking at me expectantly... It's kind of creepy.
Ares has also been giving out aquariums left and right. Funds are down to $250,000. The dorms are looking good, too. Hahahaha. This body trainer came around and harassed Ares into working out. He got his 10 Body skills reading about it, so I thought a little work out would do him good. The guy has 9 active, I should have been having him train this way from the beginning. He made quite the athletic specimen, though.
Alright, time for reroll. 3. Romance. His new LTW is to become the Law? As a Romance sim? Whatevs... He also wants to fall in love with his great uncle, Epimetheus.
Welp, it's official, Ares is gay. Befitting that he's the last family member able to carry on the legacy, but the last in the legacy. He and Berjes are just too cute together. They flirt with each other ALL THE TIME. Ares still rolls the want to love Epimetheus, though.
Berjes, Ares' little boyfriend, must be a straight A student. He's always doing class assignments. He's pretty adorable, too. Dark skin, blonde hair, green eyes, #2 face. I haven't added #1 or 2 to the family genes. It was too cheaty. But since nothing will come of this, I think it's acceptable. I might have considered it if I knew Ares was going to end up with fish lips.
Ares spends all his time either wooing Berjes or on the piano. I know all sims play the same songs, but I just love the 10 creativity songs and Ares does a wonderful job. I only tell him to stop if he has class. College would be going a lot faster is I didn't slow down to listen to him play.
I swear he has an affinity for music instead of science, like Maxis is trying to tell me. Hahahaha, I've trained my sims so well, Ares uses the bathroom, cleans the toilet right after and then showers, whether he needs a shower or not. That might be a tad messed up, conditioning one's own sims so drastically.
Ares is so sweet on Berjes. He finishes all of his assignments. Berjes is a smart boy. He always does them in Ares' dorm room. Can't let those things stack up, you know. Oh, Berjes is sly, always finding ways to join Ares everywhere he goes, never letting their relationship falter. My, he keeps a tight reign on the last heir.
Ares has graduated Summa Cum Laude. Seeing as the boy has no business remaining in college, I send him home. He has one last make-out session with Berjes and goes home with about $130,000 of his family funds. His new everyday outfit is a suit. Perfect.
Back on the home front, Ares called his beloved over and proposed to him. Berjes joins the family with $14,000. He's a pop sim, LTW: Hall of Famer, Leo, 4/10/4/4/3, and 8 friends. Luckily he was able to find an opening in the Athletics career and Ares found one in Law.
After they scored jobs, they scored with each other. Hades rolled the want for grandchildren right after that. And that's the end, ladies and gentlemen. I cussing did it! 10 generations. Phew!

Hades Cygnus the Atrociously Evil Warlock

Last expansion. Oh gosh, I nearly done! First thing Poseidon wants is to hire a butler. (A proper non-mechanical one). Marisa wants Hades in private school so we invited Headmaster Ryan over, but I needed something in return.
Marisa invited Andrea Hogan over, so Hades could meet his future spouse. The family earned 99/90 for entertaining BJ er, I mean Headmaster Ryan. Hades joins the socially elite.
Oh crap! Poseidon's been abducted by aliens! Zeno never haunts, it's always Sartre. Thankfully the aliens brought Poseidon back unscathed. Hades became fast friends with Andrea. Now it's time for him to meet his mentor of magic! I think Hades would make a fine evil witch. So Poseidon and Hades went to the gardens. But no witch came.
Poseidon wasn't impregnated by the aliens. So sad. Back to the telescope he goes. Next morning the boys headed back into town. They spent the day at the Ebonwood Market. Still no witch. Next, the bath house. Poor Hades was getting so tired so quickly. So home they went; again empty handed.
After their nap, they went to the library. Poseidon studied Physiology, while Hades made rounds meeting his very extended family. Themis, Perses, Persephone, Pallas, Michael, the robot, Aphrodite, Coeus, Tethys, Mnemosyne, Leto, Theia, Quinten, Hestia's husband, Pheobe and Rhea the vampire  great great great great great great aunt. I think Rhea was his favorite.

Having been to several community lots and still not finding a witch. I thought I'd send a scout out for one, from my robot army. One that wasn't prone to running amok. I went to the first, the best. Metatron. Still no witch. Reinstallation looks imminent  Ha! Never mind! Woo! Ericka Grove appears. Poseidon had to meet her, as Hades was very exhausted. They talked about dresses, and hit each other with water balloons. Hee. This challenge is already off to a great start.
Marisa achieved her LTW. She's a Hall of Famer now. You know, Poseidon and Marisa might be crap parents, but it's really sweet that they try to interact with Hades. And they are so in love. Since Marisa's permaplat she quit her job as well. They spend all day flirting and kissing and serenading each other. He got abducted by aliens again.
After calculating Nannyy, Gardener, and Maid fees I decided a butler wins out and hired one. His name is Amar Dennis. Handsome old chap. Bald though. Like Alfred. I approve. And then the game crashes!
-sigh- Okay. How long ago did I save? Marisa's still a Hall of Famer. Hades is four days from teenagerhood instead of one. Not too bad. At least he's still friends with Ericka.
Marisa was invited to a night out in the town and I decided it couldn't hurt. Nothing came of it though. She danced with some people. I think I'm going let go Mr. Dennis. He set my kitchen on fire two nights in a row. Pyro butlers. Who needs 'um. Again, the aliens take Poseidon. They must really like him. Mua ha ha ha ha ha! At least he finally gets alien pregnant.
"You don't know what they did to me, man! You will never know!" Poseidon's a little bit emotional as he begins showing the first signs of pregnancy. Hahahaha, poor guy pukes 3 times in a row. Hades grows into a teenager. A 2! Knowledge. Excellent.
Poseidon finished his novel, a mystery novel. Who thought a mystery novel about a dead rabbit would sell so well? I love the title though: The Case of Cadbury. Hehe. Marisa's writing one, too. A tell-all about the abduction of her husband.
Hades is now able to learn the path of darkness from Ericka the Atrocious, and he gets a cool new outfit. First spell he casts makes it rain in winter and infests the lot with cockroaches. That's evil in a cute way. He gets some awesome new gear, too. A warlocks cauldron and a spell book. I love this!
Ericka's cute in an evil way, too. She bothers cheating in chess. (Unsuccessfully.) Penguin break-in again. I think he really likes that painting of thecallouscritic.
Poseidon and Marisa were, of course, uneasy about their son being a witch. 'Specially an evil one. Hades became so corrupted his skin turned green. Mostly, they didn't want to be turned into a mean witch by him.
Poseidon went into labor Monday morning. To an alien baby girl. They named her Medusa. I'm just glad she has a nose. Ah! Hades froze in the snow! O my God! O my God! O my God!
Phew! He's safe. Cripes that was close! I could have lost my heir!
Well, Hades took a job in the Science track, since his current LTW is to become a Mad Scientist. God, I love this kid.

Poseidon can't seem to take a hint. He's back at the telescope peeping on the heavens. I'm not doing this, people. His special talent is science!
Hades has been working very hard., holding a job and studying in school and his extra curricular craft. I'm so proud of this kid. His evilocity has granted him an eerie green glow. He keeps rolling the want to get the scholarship for abduction repercussions. Thankfully, he's a knowledge sim and can summon them.
Medusa grows up into a toddler. Gyawd is she ugaboo. She learns a lot quicker than the children in this family have in a while, though. Medusa is also a Scorpio. 10/9/10/0/0. Goodness, so much like Hades.
Marisa seems to be getting the hang of parenting, though.


Hades has reached the max of evilness. He can make a whole bunch of cool witch lamps and has an arsenal of bad ass spells. He is invincible! And now he can get that last scholarship for abductee victims. So off he goes to cause some mischief in public. You can't cast spells on children. I didn't know that. O my God! There's a fortress of Eternal Darkness!Awwwwesome! No doubt he will have the most awesome name there! This place! It is exquisite! Heee! Even the presents are evil looking. Squeeeeee!
Of course we have to check out the Palace of Neverending Light. Nothing interesting. Looks like a princess castle. Back home he goes. Hades is getting sleepy. Heh, both of Poseidon's children are green.
Poseidon became an old man. Marisa, an old woman, the day after. Both of them got into the habit of playing chess together. So cute.
Hades has to go to college soon. I'm hoping Pochi, the wolf, will come before then. He always makes Hades happy. He never came. -sigh- Wha! As soon as I click 'move to college' the game dies! Damn. Hades is still at home. Poseidon and Marisa are old folks, though. Marisa'a really learned how to clean up after herself. She eats like a pig though. Okay, back where we left off. With Hades going to college!
My dorm mates don't seem to understand the mechanics of a locked door. They keep going into his room, anyway!
Heeheehee, every time he goes to class he takes his broom. Knowledge kids are so easy to make happy in college. Reroll time. 6. Nuuu! He wants 50 Dream Dates. Dear plop, I declare bawls! Well, might as well get started. One down with his wife-to-be, Andrea. I know it's not right, but his closest lady friends are extended family. Hades' next date is Demeter.
Heh, Demeter caught Hades on a date with Themis. Oh well, 3rd dream date. 47 to go. -cries- I better call Demeter so she doesn't come and knock my trashcan over everyday. Alright, enough playing with relatives. Hades will just have to go on dates with Andrea. I'm thankful Demeter and Hades share three bolts. I wouldn't have been able to bring her to the lot and patch things up. Alright, 5 dream dates. I better keep track and hold on to those bouquets of roses. 6.7.8.9. they went out in public for the ninth one and Coeus and Demeter and Marisa were there.
Coeus was angrier than Demeter. After the date Count Alvin started picking on Andrea. He also turned Gabriel, the robot, into a vampire. I don't even... I mean, how? That raises too many questions. Haha, Gabriel used the photo-booth after that.
When Hades got home he was permaplat. He's no where near 50 dates... Just 10.
Mwahahahahaha! Hades turned Eos into a witch. I have to say, Hades makes friends faster that any sim I've played in this family. I've never got this memory square before: Big Man on Campus. Apparently it's about making a lot of friends while in college. Boss.
Welp, he graduated. He's still alive. Couldn't ask for more, really. Well, yes, I can, he needs a son. After making 15 friends and capping all the skills. I don't know that sticking around campus is all that worth it. So home Hades goes.
Back home Medusa's studying as she always has. Poseidon and Marisa spend their days haunting the house, finding things to occupy their time. Hades got a job in Natural Science as a Dinosaur Cloner. He invited over his wife to be and the two exchanged vows. Andrea joins the family... with a measly $1000. She's a wealth sim, LTW: Become Chief of Staff. Another one?! She's a Capricorn. 7/4/1/8/5. She has a lot of junk in her inventory, though. Toys, flowers, rugs, t.v.s and vases, a karaoke machine and a DJ booth. Cripes! She's also a Hall of Famer and has twelve friends.
This couple doesn't conceive well. Andrea looks freaking - oh there it goes. Wow, Andrea does not handle pregnancy well. Medusa teened and has become a family sim. Well, I guess Andrea does a lot better when she actually stays near a bouquet of dragon snaps. Hades turned his half sister, Medusa into a witch. She didn't have the fear. And the Laganaphyllis Simnovorii plant claimed her first victim. I named her Laguna. Laguna the Lagana. Oh. She just sniffed the boy. Boring! I suspect it's because he's still a teenager. Damn. I want me some life milk- Game crashed again.
Oh no. I didn't save at all. Hades just joined the family, Medusa's still a child. Andrea isn't part of the family. Damn! Okay, well, I got my Lagana plant back. Andrea joins the family [again], this time with $6000, same LTWS, personality  job, and friends, however, a different inventory stock. The pinball machine is definitely out, and the electro-dance sphere. She's got a stove, barbecue,  fish tank and three telescopes. Not to mention a little baker oven for kids, a kite, fire truck [toy], and ketchup, salt and napkins. I kept the telescopes only.
While the new couple was getting to business, Poseidon was attacked by bees. Conception on the second try. Time to save. Medusa completed all her studies. That's one smart alien. She grew up [again].
Laguna ate Mary Reamon. Saving again.Medusa kissed Chloe Gonzaga. Aspiration Fodder. Hades returns from work an Ecological Guru. He reaches the top of Natural Science. Medusa returned promoted as well, to piano tuner.
Pochi finally returned to pay Hades a visit, but a little too late. Any chances of his turning Hades into a werewolf have passed. Oh. Laguna ate Jenna Bachman. Hahahahahehehehe. Didn't even notice. Andrea went into labor. A boy! ... A blond boy. What the. He inherited Marisa's blonde hair. I can't believe it jumped a generation. I was to have my revenge. Marisa ate the cake. She didn't get her gold encrusted tombstone. She got ziltch. Give your grandchildren blond hair, will you?! I should bring her back as a zombie... nah. Crashed again. This is getting a little stupid. Mother Marisa is still alive and the boy isn't born yet. Bah! I'm still getting rid of her. Damn. It's a girl this time. And blonde! Her name is Pandora. I'm saving this time. She's got green eyes though, That's awesome.
I don't think I've done this  in my legacy at all. Bought a birthday cake. Hmm. I was feeling like Hades wasn't acting very evil, so I had his spectral assistant attack an innocent guest. The assistant is dressed like a woman, but sounds like a man. Hades' familiar, Nicodemus, just sounds like a cat. He's just like a regular cat, too, and can even be taught tricks! And he's deathless! Awesome.
Andrea does into labor again. Another blond! But this one's a boy and has Poseidon's light blue eyes. What's going one here, damnit? Dark blue and green are way more dominant than light blue. His name is Ares. And we're saving. Oh, Pandora is a Scorpio, 10/9/9/0/5. Invading Penguin!
Hee, Medusa drank her step-mother. Gah! Crash again! No, this isn't getting annoying. -growl- -growl-
Oh shit. I'm been freaking out about the game crashing, I didn't write anything down. Andrea finally got a job in Medical, Hades went from Natural Science to Paranormal to Slacker, Pandora turned into a child and speed skilled cooking and mechanical, Pandora's been waiting patiently for a sister type niece to hang out with and Ares toddlerfied. He's also a Scorpio. 10/9/9/0/1... just like his dad. And Nicodemus de-materialized.
So life falls into a place with the usual activities. Skilling, being promoted. Drinking people. So usual. Heh, Marisa's ghost is teasing Laguna. She did that all night. Poor Laguna. Medusa will need another dose of cowplant milk to be a teen when Pandora grows up... No feeding Laguna. She'll find her own meal. Mwahahahahahaha! Oh, wow. That didn't take long at all. Laguna's fifth victim: Ethan Barthelet. The old dude who dressed very badly. I won't miss him. Another crash. So. Not. JIVE!!! Let's see where we left off... Ares is still a toddler. B is for Bawls. Alright. More on track. Ares has 5 skills in every branch already. Kid is a genius. The milk and bookcase are probably the causes.
The next day Hades and Andrea had the day off. I invited the Headmaster over and a huge amount of family members. 8 to be precise. The house has never been so packed. I invited over the family to give them very expensive gifts, so I got rid of nine $15,000 fountains and still have $763,896, and treated everyone to all my fishy leftovers. Coeus is a serious jerkwad to his family! He just slapped Andrea and half the women on the lot for no effing reason! Oh. Oh, that will cost him dearly. After he 'left' he came back and stole the newspaper. Big woop. Headmaster Vince Walter didn't need a lot of convincing. I only showed the man the first floor and the kids got into private school. This game is way too easy. Oh and Medusa as well! Excellent!
Coeus came back and knocked over the trashcan. What a dick! The weekend passed quickly and Monday evening Pandora became a teen, looking all sexy and like her mom and rolling wealth too even! Pretty uncanny.
Andrea came home promoted to Chief of Staff and earned her permaplatness. So groovy. And Medusa drinks the Cow Milk, evening her age with Pandora. Marisa teases Laguna again. Poor Laguna.
Haha, Hades is such a wad, he even cheats his own son at chess. Then insisted on telling his own dad a thing or two about playing piano. Hahahaha! Laguna ate Wyatt Wong! Great! He was so annoying. Laguna's toll is now up to six people.
Brenda Zaidi, a local gypsy crone, stopped by on Ares' birthday and even brought a present. The Magic Lamp. Very sweet. Ares teenified, rolled 2. Knowledge. Oh, cool. Alright, that's enough. I'll write a epilogue ending the Legacy, running Ares through teen years, college and adulthood.
