2. Hello and welcome to chapter fourteen of my ISBI!
This chapter comes to from a burst of insomnia. Seriously, the only
reason I started writing this up was because I couldn't sleep. Anyway.
Last time, we saw the teenagers get popular, and get picked on.
Apparently, Sophie Miguel doesn't like Duck. Gradually, the teens
grew into adults, and Katy, Duck's chosen spouse, became more and
more comfortable with the family.
Sound familiar? If not, I recommend looking back. Just a thought. :)
3. But before we return to the main house, let's quickly stop in at a spare
house. This is a well-drop for the eldest of generation four, Goblin
Super.
Is it bad that I didn't remember his name and had to look it up? This is
Robi Baena.
4. Seeing as Duck isn't having the compulsory gypsy-drop for his
spouse, I'm forcing all of the spares to find their life partners via the
gypsy or the well. Cruel, but necessary. It makes me feel better for
breaking my own rule.
So Robi gets to stick around. Even if his gaze is inappropriate.
I also decided that Goblin can keep her rather strange get-up. I
honestly don't know why.
5. Anyway, skipping through a rather uneventful pregnancy, meet the
twins. Gem and Stone, named after a gemstone I had on my desk.
Yep, the naming tradition continues.
Stone is one the left, Gem on the right. So far, Stone is completely
Goblin, while Gem looks like she's completely Robi. Le sigh. Though
red hair! I'm assuming Robi was a red head in his younger years – and
that Goblin is carrying the recessive from her grandfather.
This picture is dated. I changed both of Stone and Gem's looks after
this was taken. But still. You get the idea.
6. Meanwhile, Duck, Katy, Sketch, Goopy and six tombstones moved into
an apartment building I converted into a residential lot. I know that
sounds like a lot of space for the final generation, but in my defence, it
was a small apartment building.
Plus there's...a surprise later on. Anyway.
“Ahoy there, Duck!”
Katy was aged up and moved in.
7. Duck wastes no time.
“Marry me, Katy!”
I know it's cliché, but Katy really does have one of those “Ooh! Shiny!”
expressions on her face.
8. She said yes, of course. I was thrilled, Duck was thrilled, Sketch and
Goopy were breaking in their new bed...
...it was a good day for everyone, I guess.
9. Naturally, a wedding follows a proposal. To my knowledge, they don't
normally occur on the same day, but eh.
“So...handcuffs?”
Vogue is not impressed by Story bringing up handcuffs. Oh the things
families talk about. Speaking of families, everyone is there, apart from
Katy's parents and brother. I didn't think about inviting them until after.
Oops.
10. Speaking of parents and family, check out Goopy's awesome red-
purple suit! He chose that himself – Goopy's fashion sense continues
to impress me.
Also, ignore the fact Sketch managed to glitch up her eyes.
11. The bride and groom then took it in turns to glitch up their eyes. Katy
wins the award for creepiest eyes, though, Duck's didn't manage to
freak me out.
12. The wedding happened on the roof, with a beautiful view of the
community area of the Hills where the family live.
Seriously, the Supers now live next to many community locations.
Before, the only neighbours they had were the spares.
13. No one wanted or expected Katy to leave Duck at the alter, did they?
Because if they did, they're going to be horribly disappointed.
The wedding itself went off without any problems, which is always
nice. :)
14. The guests weren't too impressed by the wedding, though. I mean,
Robi is clapping politely, Goblin looks like she can't wait to get to the
cake afterwards, while Story is just blankly staring at Robi's head.
Gotta love weddings.
15. Eventually, though, enthusiasm was shown.
“Yay! Duck got married!”
“Um, guys...I'm over here...the wedding was held over here...”
16. Mr and Mrs Super. And I wouldn't have it any other way – I can't think
of anyone better for Duck, anyway.
17. Sketch manages to show enthusiasm for the wedding while getting
stuck in her Grandfather's head.
No permanent damage was done, thankfully.
18. Moving swiftly along, it was time for cake. Yaaaay.
Will Duck be a cake-shover? Taking all bets!
19. If you predicted cake-shoving, you win. :D I don't know what you win,
but I wondered if Duck would be a cake-shover.
My whole ISBI has all of the tact and grace of a cake-shover.
20. Naturally, Katy and Duck get started on the next generation straight
away. ACR took care of that.
21. Apparently, kareoke and guitars are out of fashion now. It's all about
the piano.
Too bad Goopy doesn't feel like sharing with Sketch.
22. “I can turn my head all the way round.”
Katy really creeped me out with that. Maybe that's her goal here – to
creep me out with her strange eyes and twisted neck.
23. If you hadn't noticed by now, I have a tendency to stick to traditions
and rules...so while we have non-adopted elders this generation, I
just...wanted to adopt some.
So this is Ethan Barrett.
24. And this is Tiffany Zarubin. She's from the Garden Club, while all of my
other elders have been from the social groups that came with
Apartment Life.
Anyway, I can't wait to find out what they're like :)
25. The first thing Tiffany and Ethan do is talk to each other. I'm happy.
This should mean they won't fight like Vamsi and Makoto did.
28. Plus they both get on with Duck and Katy. Speaking of Katy, she
seems comfortable to wander the house in her underwear. I'm not
sure that has happened before.
29. The first night in the new place, the ghosts are out in force. And man,
they're angry.
“My bed! They didn't bring my bed!”
“Your bed? It was MY bed!”
“Wow, Sketch is old! I never got to be old...”
30. That night was certainly going to be eventful. Duck decided to
stargaze for a matter of seconds before the aliens decided they were
interested.
I don't remember the last time I had a natural abduction. The last three
abductions in my game were from summoning the aliens.
32. Although I don't think he's as happy about it as I am.
“No! Please! My wife is already pregnant! We really don't need twins!”
33. No one noticed Duck's abduction, they were all way too busy.
Katy was getting spooked by Leo – at least, I think that's Leo's ghost –
while Ethan and Tiffany were getting along really well.
34. Oh, come on, Alan. That's hardly fair. She only JUST got spooked.
I hope the ghosts aren't planning to kill her off. :(
35. Apparently tonight is a good night for the supernatural. Outside, a
wolf, appropriately named Killer, decided he didn't like Goopy.
I have no idea why.
36. Leo! Not cool!
It looks like we have a serious haunting problem. But only Katy is
experiencing it.
37. Katy decides to chill a little after her third haunting in half an hour. The
elders, meanwhile, hang out with the couch.
They're an odd bunch, these sims.
38. “Sketch is old! This displeases me!”
It also turns your face into a featureless red shape.
39. “I'm going to take my anger out on Katy.”
Uh oh. Now we have a problem. I also thought it was kind of amusing
that Alan's raging while in the kitchen counter.
But mostly, it seems a bit ominous that the ghosts are ganging up on
Katy – she hasn't even been married twenty-four hours yet!
40. “Can you hear that? Tell me I'm not the only one hearing that!”
The elders all headed out to greet Duck after his epic space
adventure. I have no idea where Sketch is at the point.
41. Goopy's opinion quickly changes, though. I have no idea why.
“Yay! Meeting aliens is cool!”
Ethan's not convinced.
“Loud noises are not cool.”
42. Maybe that's why Goopy is cheering?
“Woo! Young daughter-in-law in undies! Woo!”
43. Duck is back! Yay! And he face-planted the pavement, which is always
a fun after-effect of an abduction.
44. “Feel sorry for me?”
Not likely. I think this is brilliant. Yay, green baby!
45. Naturally, Katy thinks the whole thing is hilarious.
But hey, if your wife can't laugh at you, who can?
46. I think this would be a good stopping point for now.
Join me next time for babies! Yay!
Thanks for reading!
