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.
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.

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.

Poseidon Cygnus
Free time. Aspiration benefits, life time meters, violins, ant farms, sewing stations and pottery wheels. -sigh- My next heir has to have badges in Fishing, Gardening, Flower Arranging, Toy Making, Pottery, Sewing, Cosmetology and Robotics. Hmm, we lost Nancy's grave. Poseidon and Persephone grew up. Poseidon is a Scorpio, 10/9/9/0/7. Wow, that's awesome. Epimetheus becomes a Romance sim. Persephone gets to be a Knowledge sim... She got electrocuted trying to fix the computer. I'll have to level her mechanical some more. And Poseidon grows up to be a Pop sim. -cries-
Epimetheus is a huge player; he's dating three... four girls and they're all stupid about him. One in particular. She's been sending gifts the last few days. The last two times she dropped off pianos. No joke.
The kids child and teen years are pretty drab unless you count Poseidon skill stealing from his parents like crazy. He's got gold badges in fishing, gardening and pottery making already, but now he goes to college. Again, pretty boring. Just grind, grind, grind. Oh! I need a spouse! Marisa will do. Poseidon rerolled Romance. His LTW: Have 20 Lovers. Slut. Well, he graduated Summa, fell in love with Marisa and got gold badges in Cosmetology, Flower Arranging and Toy Making. Let's see that's six out of eight. He's got Robotics and Sewing left. That's cussing awesome.So we're back on the main lot and I'm losing graves left and right! Now Atlas and Astraeus' graves are missing. Wonderful. This totally sucks!
Marisa is quite happy to join a rich family. She must be a wealth sim. She joins with $6,000, kind of broke for a wealth sim. LTW: Become Hall of Famer, current position: Vice Squad. She has NO skills, but! She has 10 friends; totally making up for it. She's a Gemini; 4/7/8/3/3. What awful numbers.
The couple conceive quickly. No surprise. But Marisa is starving right after woohoo. Thankfully I have a staggering amout of vegetables and fish in the fridge. After dinner she hit the cook book. When I say no skills, I mean no skills. A sim should be ashamed. The penguins have resorted to breaking and entering, even wolves respect the boundaries of the door. I think the penguins smell the fish. Jerks! Stay away!Poseidon continues working on those badges. haven't given him a job yet. The family has $455,000. I think he can relax a while.
Bawls! Menoetius' LTW wasn't set off! I don't get it! All three went to college and graduated. Shenanigans! I'm getting the shaft, mang.
Poseidon got his gold badge in Robotics. Marisa grew a bit of belly and couldn't do yoga anymore, so she's studying body via the education book case and using the punching bag. She went into labor and gave birth to a boy! Named him Hades. I'll be honest. Marisa kind of scares me. I didn't know if she'd be a good mother. My apprehensions were justified when she dumped the kid on the ground while she made an omelet, set it on the kitchen counter and sneezed in it. Didn't even eat it!Ha! Menoetius finally dug up a treasure chest! Completing all 45 vacation memories. He never has to dig again! ... HA! He found two! Poseidon got his last gold badge in Sewing. 8 gold badges. Phew. Hades grew into a toddler. Oh, thank goodness, he's neat. He's a Scorpio, just like his dad. 10 neat, 9 outgoing, 9 active, 0 playful, and 1 nice. That seems so befitting of a boy named Hades. Even his portrait looks angry. He wears a tiny black tuxedo, too. I'm... I'm in love.
Poseidon reached the top of the Law career path. I don't know, it just happened. Hades got a heavy dose of smart milk. Knocked out learning how to talk, walk and sing a nursery rhyme out of the park. Holy crap! Why have I not been using this milk?!Hahahahahaha! Poor Poseidon. Not only was he struck by lightning, Arcadia came out to scare him... twice! All the guy wants is to stargaze, people. Come on.
Woo! Poseidon earns $46,000 for declaring weather control machines illegal! Family net is now $528,329. This family is so filthy rich! Menoetius kicks the bucket. He died in plat though. I should have got that damn LTW anyway. But hey, I'll take what I can get.
#s: $19,800 to Cara, $7,900 to Poseidon, $6,700 to Epimetheus, $1,900 to Hades and $270 to Demeter, Atlas' plant daughter. Interesting.
What's also interesting is that somehow, Poseidon is permaplat. I don't even, maybe the game glitched and gave Menoetius' to Poseidon. The only thing that happened before that in his memory bin is Hades being born. Omm, Hades is rolling the want to have Menoetius sing to him. Of course Cara wasn't far behind Menoetius. $9,200 to Poseidon, $7,200 to Epimetheus, $5,700 to Persephone, $1,450 to Hades and $940 to someone named Kendal. Oh! The nanny. Poseidon wouldn't stop crying. Through Menoetius and Cara's deaths the number of family friends plummeted from 23 to 14.
Marisa simply has no maternal instincts. Hades needs sleep, she gives him a bath. I mean, really. Since the grandparents are gone and Poseidon reached the top of his career path he quit his job to stay home with his son. His first day home he just kept cuddling the boy while he slept. 3 days after his grand-dads death and he still wants him to sing for him.
Alright, he grew into a boy and spent all night with his nose stuck in a book. That bookcase is mad hacks. 5 skills in cooking, mech, cleaning, and body all in a nights work. That's just insane!
So I know that this expansion is hecka short, but really, most of it was really boring. Just Poseidon chipping away at those badges. Next one will be longer. I'm fairly certain.

Menoetius Cygnus
Bon Voyage, Bon Voyage, and 4 boys to choose from. Their first vacation will depend solely on the first treasure piece they dig up. Atlas becomes an Elder. Nancy digs up a bone. That's not treasure. Digging again, and she finds a map leading to the mysterious hut on Twikkii Island. First destination established.
Flight is booked, bags are packed and off they go. 7 days and 6 nights in paradise. They're set up in the most expensive hotel. Nancy made friends with a local, Daisy, and learned the Hang Loose gesture. They boys made sand castles, and combed the beach for seashells. Now they're off to take a glass bottom boat ride. Everyone gains a logic skill point.The boys all relaxed under the sun. Pallas was sun burnt. Aww, Helios got pinched by a crab. They all taught each other how to hang loose. Well, except Atlas. Stopping by a juice bar, the family explored the Ancient Ruins of Jumbok, watched a fire dancer, then went back to the hotel for a mid-day nap. They're off to the pirate ship.
Menoetius awakened the soul of Pirate Captain Edward Dregg! He ran away. Helios told the ghost captain a joke. Pretty cool! Atlas and Nancy were exhausted, so the family headed back for the night, but not before purchasing some cool souvenirs. The next day they headed back to the ancient ruins. Perses added soap to the fountain and this angered the Jumbok gods. Awesome! Lava spilled from the fountain! I'd better try set this right or the locals won't forgive me. Atlas is making an offering. That set the fountain right again. There are a lot of things the boys can't learn yet or experience while on vacation. Fire dancing, obviously. Learning messages, make offerings, obtain the voodoo doll. Everything else they've done. So for a time, it's back home, at least until they're teenagers. I got stuff out of the way, though.
Pallas is still sun burnt after three days. The whole family has vacation perks. All six get an extra want slot, all six enjoy a boost in fun, comfort and social, Atlas gets a social perk, Nancy, a work performance perk, and the boys, a skilling perk. I'm taking full advantage of this. Nancy found the map to the Pagoda in the Shadows, the boys are going to the Orient next. That extra buff they got is amazing! Truly. I couldn't believe how fast they all skilled. I should remember that for when I need to skill hardcore. Pochi and Kim, a wolf and cat, got into a fight on my lot! Pochi won of course. Aww poor kitty. This happened right as Nancy came home, promoted to Space Pirate! She reached the top of her career path. Woot! She also grew into an elder.
Sunday night the vacation buffs wore off. The last to bed was Perses. Ghost Astraeus scared his pants off. The boy's aren't even teens yet and they already have all the skills they need to graduate college. And then some.
Things don't seem like they could be going smoother, so Nancy invites Headmaster Vince Walter over to get the boys into Private school. The same day, Atlas has to deal with the notorious villain, the Llama Queen, as she unleashes another robot unto SimCity, while poisoning the city's water supply. For whatever reason, Atlas feels responsible for her nefarious deeds and donates $25,000. It's a mere trifle to the family funds. But it is a loss. To make up for it, Pallas wins a football game at school and brings in a $150 Player of the Year Award. Small penance, but it evens out the events for the day.
Vince the Headmaster stops by for some... I don't know what this dish is. I think it's some kind of fish. It's sparkling, so it's got to be. Quick tour and 91/90 score; the boys are accepted into Private School. Wow, they did worse than Ariel's girls. Man, Sartre is a mean ghost. She scares everyone. Nancy is about to die from fright! Menoetius turns into a teen. Rolled a 5. This is going swimmingly so far. Pallas, too, still with sun burn. Rolled a 1, wealth sim. Wicked. Hmm, pop sim and wealth sim, these two are just like their parents. And, like Aphrodite and Hestia, they're both much cuter than I thought they'd turn out.Huh. In winter, ghosts wear outerwear. Bwah ha ha ha ha ha ha! Pallas is hilarious! He brings over this red-headed chick and throws balls at her and gives her noogies, all the while having this troll face. I love him! Bah hahahahaha!
So... Nancy went mad money hungry and started counterfeiting simoleans. So much so that her printer overheated and caught on fire. I don't have a fire alarm on the third floor, I didn't think I needed one. But Nancy was able to put out the fire. Afterwards she reeked of her sin, so she needed a bath. Counterfeiting simoleans, tsk tsk. I run a family of criminals! Oh no. One of the boys brought over Wyatt Wong. Nuuu~~ And somehow Pallas got fired from a job where his only duty is to play video games. -sigh- Also, he still has sun burn. Helios becomes a teenager. I roll a 3. Romance.
Sartre stays in the chess room and only scares people in that room. There aren't any lights in that room. Might be why she likes it. While patrolling space and getting rather bored of it, Nancy, the Dread Pirate of the Stars, comes upon two ships, one, a supply vessel, the other, another pirate ship in pursuit. She is put with two options. Compete with the other pirate ship or assist the freighter. She opts for the fight. I took too long while writing this and I didn't see the outcome. I went online to find out. Failed and then I gave up the game froze on me. Wonderful. When I reload Helios is still a child. I got no where! 2 hours down the drain. Played through to where I left off and no career option. Nyah.Perses became a teenager. 2! Knowledge! Hurray! Yeah! And Menoetius was promoted from Blog Writer to Movie Critic. Woot, woot, woot.
Pallas turned into a fatty. It's yoga time. It's that magic fish stuff, mang. Atlas is finally done with the novel he's been typing away at for the last week. It's a hit! He gets a royalty check for $2,903. Let's save. Alright, all the boys are teens now. I think I'll wait to take them on their next vacation about a week. All four boys brought home friends from school, and all but one went straight from school to work. Perses asked the friends to leave. Helios returned with a promotion to Coffee Shop Sound Engineer. Cool, his hours are pushed back by two. Same option! Nancy's demoted. Shit. Well, I finally found out what it said. Wasn't worth it. Pallas came home promoted to Legal Secretary. How can a teen be that? Anyway, his hours were only pushed back 1. He's a little down in the mouth, so I think I'll take him into town. All these teens now-a-days want cell phones and mp3 players and handheld game consoles. Bah!
It's Friday. The boys homework is all done. Time for another vacation. This time to Takemizu Village. The boys start odd with a tour through the bamboo forest. They came back with bees. Great way to start off.Menoetius was shown the bow gesture by a local teen-aged girl. Nice, I've been having Atlas talk up another local for that very reason and he wouldn't give up the goods. The next day they all had lobster for breakfast and headed out to the zen gardens. Helios met a ninja and learned how to teleport, Menetius kindly served some tea and Perses groomed the zen garden.
Helios and Pallas decide to meditate by said zen garden and disappear! Uu nuu! I'm getting out of here. Zen garden's are going to steal my kids! Helios and Pallas safe in my clucthes, the group heads to the shrine. Helios makes a wish and tosses a coin. His fortune was: You will discover a secret. Whatever that means. He went straight to Pallas after that and hit him with a pillow. Perses threw a coin and got another swarm of bees. Menoetius threw a coin and encountered a vast fortune. He was pelted with gold coins. 1,000 bucks worth. Awesome! Pallas got the bees, too.
Hmm, while the boys were away, Atlas and Nancy had sex-er-woohoo in the sauna. Nice to know they're enjoying their vacation, too. The next day the whole family headed out to the village Pagoda and Market. Hopefully for food. Perses' starving. I wonder if fat people can starve in this game. After that the family headed to the hot spring. Perses and Helios learned the acupressure message and Menoetius and Pallas soaked in the springs. Then they switched and I sent them back to the hotel. Well, I sent Atlas and Nancy back. The boys stayed in town, trying to find that elusive ninja.
I know he's out there! Cought him! Menoetius learned the ways. Now it's just Pallas and Perses. Then they go home. There's so much more stuff to do on Twikkii Island. Poor Perses. He's been chasing the ninja all over town. I think he knows, too. This is getting stupid! Finally! I chased this jerkwad all around town and I finally caught him. Pallas was just along for the ride. He caught him the first place they went. Perses had to hunt him down for 2 days. I'm on a mission, damn it! Gah, it's finally over. They can all go home now. That teleporting comes in so handy in a three story house.
So Helios went on a date. Natural for Romance Sims. His date? Viola Something. Nothing serious, just aspiration fodder. They head to the Karaoke machine. Holy dang. All that creativity, Helios sings like an angel. They shared their first kiss. Darn, those cinematics. They can turn the ugliest girl into the envy of all SimCity. Dream date easily obtained. I think Pallas is going to have that sun burn forever. And just like that the boys, Menoetius and Pallas only, have two days before they grow up. Menoetius takes his little brother Perses out to get some teen supplies. Mp3 players, game consoles, yadda yadda.
Omigosh! I got the bonus! Atlas turned into a plant sim! WOOOO! I can have plant babies! Yay! Save, save, save. Eeeeeeeee!Menoetius doesn't have the want to go to college, despite being a wealth sim, so I have to up his aspiration tonight. He and Pallas are moving on to college. So far, it's going terribly. I give in and buy him a drum set and bass guitar, sending him into plat aspiration. To college with you! and with Pallas.
So Nancy was promoted back to International Sim of Mystery. I'm sure she's happy about that. She'll need two more friends to get her old job as Space Pirate back, but chances of that dwindle as Helios and Perses get closer to college. Speaking of which, Helios is going to make some moves on a new girl, Marsha. Whom, by the by, is a total fox; she completely rejected him. Poor kid. Well, off he goes to college. Last to leave is Perses. And I'm done with teens years!It's nearly 2am, I'm done for now.
Back to Ravencrest we go. They go in looking like the biggest posers ever. We're fixing this straight away. There, much better. So... the boys have at least 8/10 in all skills. They don't need to skill at all. Pretty boss. This is going to get stupid boring if they have nothing to do. Hmmm, badges. Flower, toy, mech, plant, fish, styling. We'll go with Gardening, Fishing, Flower Arranging and Robotics. Perses seems like the gardener, Helios the flower boy, Menoetius the fisher and Pallas the robotic engineer. Splendid, splendid. Jaiden, the cafeteria woman, set the kitchen on fire. I'm sure on purpose. I was wrong about Menoetius. He absolutely hates fishing. Perses powered through gardening. He already has his gold badge.
Haaa~~~~ That's it. They're sophomores now. They need to go to that last place. Three lakes. The locals gesture is a manley chest pound. Charming. I will say. These locals have a lot of fun. Axe throwing, log rolling, slap dances and flapjacks.I should have been keeping my eyes peeled for spouses! Crap! I always forget that part. Alright. The boys have about 30/45 vacation memories completed. They are back from their Three Lakes vacation. Working on their badges. That is their charge until they get to juniors. Which is now, time for rerolls!
Pallas rolls a 4, Fam sim. Helios a 2, Knowledge, Perses a 6, Pleasure and Menoetius, 4. And now I choose the successor to the Cygnus Legacy. Which I can't! I guess Menoetius is the first born, but I like the contest idea. I just need to think of a contest. I have 2 semesters to figure this out.
Lazy wins. Menoetius gets to be the next heir. That's the way it happened with Cruis and Coeus. Eldest won. Tradition prevails again. He has gold badges in Gardening, Fishing and Flower arranging. Not bad. His LTW: send 3 kids to college. (Easiest LTW ever).
Blah hahahahha Pallas needed some aspiration and his biggest boost is to have his first kiss, but the only dorm-mate he was friends with besides his brothers was a blonde kid named Dominic. Pallas is gay. Then Dominic caught the cow trying to woo Pallas and decided Pallas was cheating on him. Speaking of love, Menoetius is seriously love sick. All his wants are romantic in nature. I suppose I should deal with this. I'll have him hunt for a treasure map and go to Twikkii or Takemizu. He digs up, among 5 bones and a rock, a map to Takemizu. We have our destination! He arrives at the Steaming Dragon Hotel. His first (possibly romantic) encounter is a blonde local named Mahrisa. [Hahahaha] They have bad joojoo. She isn't his type what so ever. On his historic tour he meets up with another tourist, Angel Go, Angel. Hmmm. He also dislikes her. And, call it my luck, none of the women he's hot for are locals; they're all tourists like him.
Well, we can get these tiny details out of the way. He's still got Twikkii and Three Lakes to scope out. He digs Lydia, who looks like Marylena and Arcadia... I'm leaning toward Vanessa. Gray eyes, a definite win. Menoetius went to the Pagoda in the Shadows. He made friends with the Wise Old Man and the man; he told Menoetius an ancient tale. A tale about a princess and a dragon and invaders. Menoetius tried to hug him after that. The old man turned his eyebrow at him. Still, they parted as friends. Menoetius learned of the legend. Time to study an ancient something or other. Exercise. I think this is going to be the tricky one. He spent the day at a community lot that had a stereo, alas, nothing happened. I wondered if the old man does it. When I got to the pagoda, though, no one was there. -sigh- Back on the hunt. Success! Awesome. I'm done with this place. Back to college. Pallas gets his gold badge in fishing, Helios wants to be struck by lightning. Yeah, okay...
Next destination back to Twikkii Island. Menoetius has to help the Witch Doctor fix all his appliances. For his troubles, the Witch Doctor gives Menoetius his voodoo doll. Next, learning the fire dance. It took a while, but Menoetius learned pretty fast. I knew that at least, this babe hunting is going terribly. That's not fair, Menoetius has met a lot of girls.You know, it seems all the NPC's at the pirate ship just want to fight and push each other. Welp, It's time to head back to college. The boys graduate. All Summa, naturally. Now to divide $76,571 into 3 for Helios, Pallas and Perses. So! Being an adult and finally able to have babies, Menoetius has a few options. Vanessa, from Takemizu, Cara from Twikkii, and Kendal, another tourist, met at Three Lakes. Now, Kendal looks like Grandma Marylena and Arcadia, bad joojoo, and Cara looks like Menoetius' mother, Nancy. Kind of creepy. And Vanessa has face #1. He's closest with Vanessa and has two bolts for her and Cara. If I go by names, Kendal takes the cake. I really don't like the #1 face. Alright, Cara it is. Now, before Atlas croaks, which should be any day now, he decides to be a parent one last time. He grows a plant baby. Of course it's a girl. Now I can't remember which goddess was the goddess of plants. Either Dionysus or Demeter. I should have done my homework. Dionysus was a boy. Demeter it is! Aww, she's beautiful. Pointy ears, green skin... reminds me of Hyperion.
Menoetius invites Cara over. They were best friends and madly in love by dinner and Cara moved in. With $12,000, no friends, no job and hardly any skills. No badges either. But she's a Pisces, 5/7/7/6/7 and a knowledge sim with a LTW to become Cheif of Staff. Another medical mother. Hummm.Death comes for Atlas. Cara's a little confused by the whole thing. Numbers: $7,400 to Demeter, $17,400 to Nancy, $1,800 to Helios, $300 to Menoetius, $3,200 to Pallas. Nothing for Perses or his other daughters. Wow, mang, that's cold.
That night Menoetius proposed to Cara and she said yes. I mean, of course. She's marrying into $350,000. They conceive their first try. Not unusual. Next day, Demeter becomes an adult. Yop, no childhood, teen years, or college for plant babies. They go from toddlerhood to adulthood. I roll a 3. Romance. We move her out fast enough, but bit without robbing upwards of $90,000, not including her severance check of $20,000. yes, folks. She's loaded.
Cara goes into labor. It's a boy! Epimetheus. So far he looks exactly like Menoetius. Bad luck, Cara examines a Sherpa instead of his llama and loses a logic point and Menoetius pins a sorority against a fraternity and gets demoted for his meddling. However, Nancy did get her LTW of earning $100,000 and retired so she could take care of Epimetheus while Menoetius and Cara focus on their careers. So, it ain't all bad.Death is fast encroaching on her part, though. I was all ready to just have Epimetheus as the only kid, then I remembered Menoetius' LTW. Time for Menoetius and Cara to get busy. Conception on the second try.
Epimetheus turns into a toddler. He's a Scorpio! 10/3/9/8/1 Woo! The nose! He doesn't have the nose! It's a miracle! Grandma Nancy taught the child how to walk and talk. She spent the whole day with him. Then Death took her.
Epimetheus turns into a little boy. Arcadia, Nancy and Sartre welcome him into childhood. Persephone was 19 hrs late turning into a toddler. I think they're taking longer each generation. She's an Aries, 10/9/7/4/5. Pretty cool. And kind of weird, considering her stock.
Omigosh! Another boy! With light blue eyes! Omigosh, omigosh, omigosh! His name is Poseidon. Squeeeee! Happy happy happy happy! Alright, we're so ending this on an awesome note.
