Generation 2: Kyung-Soon's Revenge - Part Two

((Cue Dramatic Music))

Phoebe: '...It is I, Phoebe, replacing my late father Stephan here at this log of solitude and death. Countless days have turned to weeks, months, and years. I grow older with each passing sunset, unknowing when my last moment will be, for the cruel creator has cast the die of fate my way--'

((Music ends abruptly))

Oh, no! Not you, too. Give me a break. I'm the one and only narrator here. Sheesh. And what's with the sappy music? Get away from that computer!

Phoebe: 'I cannot be heiress! The mailbox needs a servant.'

Right. Try and deny me! You're heiress, like it or not.

Phoebe: 'But she threatened me! She said I would be next if I took the helm as heiress!'

What, who? Kyung-Soon?

Phoebe: 'Yes! She came to me while I was writing over all my worldly possessions to the mailbox. She spoke to me! A ghost!'

You'll believe a mailbox can talk, but not a ghost? Weirdo. Anyway, forget about Kyung-Soon... we've got more important things to do. You need a job! Politics sounds good for your current skill set. Where is Gavin? We all need to talk... if he's no longer the heiress' husband, his contribution to the restrictions won't count! And he's so close.

Phoebe: 'Oh, ew! You can't possibly mean...'

Oh, yes. I can. This is a challenge... no holding back. We've gotta be in it to win it... and throw it in the face of that sour old biddy, Kyung-Soon! I'll show her yet!

Gavin: 'But, she threatened me, too! She told me if I married Phoebe, I'd die!'

Oh, phooey to her! You'll be fine. I'll make sure you don't die before your time. Besides, you're nearly Captain Hero... and you're afraid of a ghost?!

Gavin: 'I may be a Romance Sim and All, but this is too Jerry Springer... even for me!'

You're too paranoid, Gavin. Look, you even did well on a Chance Card! You're Chief of the Fallout Springs Police Department! You can't be scared of some revenge-seeking ghost. Come on, now.

Gavin: 'Are you trying to get me killed? Eris is dead! My wife! And if she comes back as a ghost and sees me with Phoebe... she won't be happy.'

Pfft, now you're just being paranoid. Trust me. I'll take care of everything.

Well, that seems to have worked. Although, do you think you guys could've done this somewhere away from Eris' urn? That's not very respectful, you know.

Phoebe: 'After that mind-altering substance the controller had me drink, you're... strangely attractive to me now, Gavin. Agh! What am I saying?!'

Gavin: 'I'm feeling the same way, Phoebe! Ugh... this is so wrong... must resist...'

Phoebe: 'What have you done to us, you evil controller?! I shouldn't feel this way about my brother-in-law!'

Well, he won't be your brother-in-law for much longer... now back to the flirting!

Ahhh, love... isn't it grand the second time around? I can only imagine what Eris is thinking right now... her sister and widower marrying right in front of her urn. Seriously you guys, that isn't cool. She's going to be super pissed!

Gavin: 'Can't... think straight. Urge to WooHoo... rising.'

It is so nice of the programmers to make born in-game sims come with ReNuYu Potions... makes these sorts of things so much easier!

Phoebe: 'I hope you don't expect me to give you any twisted spawn from this!'

Of course not. Julian and Jake are still part of the bloodline. This marriage is just necessary to overcome a technicality! That's all.

Stephan: 'Um, controller... I do believe I require your attention post-haste!'

Oh, Stephan... what is it now?

Stephan: 'It appears my lovely wife has taken it upon herself to cut my time short. She wishes for me to join her horde of angry and vengeful ghosts...'

Wait, what? Oh crap...

Stephan: 'Indeed. I have no pulse, controller!'

What? No! I need your friends for their promotions!

Stephan: 'My sincere apologies... but my time has come. I must go.'

Grrr... Kyung-Soon! I'll get you yet!

Stephan: 'Oh... to go the same way my dearest daughter Eris went... Adieu, sweet world... adieu!'

Sigh... things really aren't going my way. Even a fool-proof chance card is messed up! Of all the times. Darn it, Gavin! I blame you.

Gavin: 'Hey, I'm not the one who pissed off that crazy old lady and then let her daughter and husband die!'

Silence you! You're supposed to be Captain Hero... not Captain Obvious!

Grrrr... chalk up another screw up for Mao! What on Earth is with me today? I think I played too long.

Phoebe: 'Thanks a lot! Now the mailbox is going to yell at me again...'

Despite all the icky chance cards, Gavin comes through as... Captain Hero! Dun dun dunnaaa! Hooray! Another restriction lifted. Awesome.

Gavin: 'No thanks to you... killing off my wife and then confusing me to the point of no return by making me marry her sister!'

Be seen and not heard, peon! You're lucky I need you to stick around until someone unlocks Law...

The twins grow up... and in the same fashion as when they were toddlers... are identical. We're talking 100%, I can't tell the freaking difference, identical. I did realize they both have different eyebrows, though. Julian has the more 'natural' brows, so he's on the right; Jake has the thick ones, so he's on the left. Wow, yeah. That works a lot.

Not. Darn you clone children!

Julian: 'We're not clone children! We have different personalities. Jake is a slob!'

Jake: 'You're just OCD!'

Boys, boys... come on now. Stop with the fighting! Sheesh... twins.

Meanwhile, thanks to Gavin breaking the Law Enforcement restriction... the kitties are back! Yay! I was tempted to title this, "Hey, the cats are back!" but only VB and I would have got the joke. Unless anyone else reading has play World of Warcraft... hehe. With Gandalf back, we automatically break the Showbiz restriction, allowing kiddos to skill with ease and do homework as they please. Artanis still needs to break Service Pet so elders can be controlled.

Of course, the first thing Artanis does? Attack Eris' urn... that's not cool, kitty! The poor girl is dead! Let her rest in peace, lest she rise up as an angry ghost like her mother.

With the cats back, it was time to work on breaking the Service Pet restriction! Gavin was the man for the job. As you can see, I also found a way to make my night pictures brighter without compromising quality. Ha!

Gavin: 'Why am I stuck with the cat? Do I look like a cat person to you?'

No, but you look like someone who doesn't want to immediately lose their mind upon becoming an elder!

Gavin: 'Touche.'

Oh, great... it's you two again. Don't you ever do anything apart? You even complain together!

Jake: 'But we're complaining about two different things!'

Julian: 'Yeah! I want fun and he wants to sleep!'

Oh, right. Big difference there... clones.

Gavin: 'Hi, sweetie. I'm sorry about the whole 'marrying your sister' thing, but the controller kind of forced us. And she forced us to WooHoo, too... a lot. So yeah, if you're going to become a horrible and cruel ghost like your mother, remember that. It wasn't me!'

You truly are a coward, Gavin! I didn't make you two WooHoo... you're the one that spun up the wants! I was only following your whims. Darn men...

Jake: '((shrieking like a little girl)) Grandma!!!'

Kyung-Soon: 'No heirs! You won't be heir or you'll die!'

Jake: 'Ahhh!!! Controller, make her go away!!'

Darn it, Kyung-Soon! You're going to scare what little straightness he has out of him! Then he definitely can't be heir. Go away!

Gavin: 'Ahhh!!! I don't think she bought it!!'

What gave you that idea, Sherlock? Sigh. Not you, too, Eris!

Eris: 'I have joined mother's cause. We will kill all heirs!'

Oh, that's just fantastic. But wait, Gavin isn't an heir...

Eris: 'No, but he is sleeping with my SISTER!'

True, true... scare away, then.

Gavin: 'A lot of help YOU are!'

Pfft, I'm not the one sleeping with my sister-in-law, who is now my wife, and trying to blame it on the controller to my dead wife! You asked for this, pal. Try not to die.

Eris: 'You took my husband and my spot as heiress! You will die, thieving wench!'

Phoebe: 'Ahhh, sister! Does being dead automatically make you mean and cranky? I don't want to die!'

Nor do I! Get out of there... Eris is on a roll tonight! Run upstairs before she gets you again. Darn ghosts... looks like we'll be unlocking Paranormal ahead of schedule...

Eris: 'You can run, but you can never hide!'

Phoebe: 'Gaah! My needs are depleting rapidly!'

Stop gaping and run! Run like you've never ran before! Darn ghosts.

Phew, another chance card to break the ghostly fright! This time I don't screw it up. A cool 50k, coming my way! Awesome. It is kind of difficult to mess this one up... even in Gavin's case. Big scaredy cat. How did you face the gigantic robot, hmm? Did you two have a slap fight?

Gavin: 'No!!!'

Oh, you did so, and you know it! Now I know where Jake gets it!

Gavin: 'Grrr! I kicked big, metallic robot butt!'

Sure, sure... why don't you go play with your dollies now? I have important things to do.

Artanis breaks the Service Pet restriction! Hooray! Now my Elders don't have to be all crazy and senile! They'll actually be USEFUL!

And we'll end it there. I've got a ton of pictures yet and the twins are barely into teenhood. Whew. Who will be heir? Will Kyung-Soon kill another? Will Mao ever finish with this generation!?
