I felt like taking a break from my
Sawajiri Legacy, so I decided to start the
aspiration challenge. I'm going to treat it like a legacy, however there will only be six generations (one for each aspiration) and instead of my usual five chapters, there will only be three in each gen. I also don't score my regular legacies, and even though the scoring system on this is a little wonky, I'd figured it'd be fun to try something new.
Also, if you can tell what television show I was watching while I made this legacy, you get ten points :D
Meet our founder, Illythia. Setting out on her own at the young age of nineteen with only $5000 in her pocket, she finds a piece of land to call her own in the small town of Riverblossom Hills. Though she comes from a humble background, Illythia is far from a humble human being. Ever since she was a little girl, Illythia dreampt of one day controlling everything and everyone around her. Perhaps her way of thinking was born in part due to her parent's clear favoritism of her twin sister Illyria; but regardless of where it came from, it gave her ambition. It may have also given her narcissism as to cover her rapidly depleting self esteem, but what's a founder sim without a few quirks, eh?
Illythia: Everyone will bow down before my magnificent form! They will feed me grapes and present me offerings in exchange for tax breaks and getting off on murder charges. It will be GLORIOUS!
She seems to be a bit far away from that dream; but whatever makes her happy, I guess.
Illythia: Hi! You're a funny looking thing, aren't you? I'll get right to the point: I wish to become ruler of this town one day through the sneaky route of controlling the law; will you be my first subject?
Rose: There's beauty in these lands; do you see it, child? Out there in the distance... so many wonders untouched by greedy hands. But not here. The trees, when once they talked with such hope and wonder, merely whisper to me their cries of fear as they die out in waves of injustice and torment. You humans cut down our forests and drink the water that gives us life---
Illythia: Ah, I see where you're going with this. If I become ruler, than I'll leave nature be. Acceptable terms?
Rose: Most acceptable, yes! You have my complete support, oh mighty one who lives atop the greenest of hills!
Illythia: This is easier than I anticipated...
Illythia: Yes, unsuspecting wanted ads, I would like a job in the Law Enforcement Career. If that's all you're offering, it's close enough to the Law career path to suffice, I suppose. I'm sure my time as a cop will help me become the most epic lawyer/possibly evil Dictator the world has ever known anyway.
Unfortunately, as she had spent all her money on her hill and miscellaneous junk and she isn't due into work until later that night, Illythia gets to work on trying to pay the stupid bills that came in that morning.
Illythia: When I rule this town, the first thing I'm going to do is make billing me illegal.
Sexiest cop ever though. Am I right?
After a few days of all work and no play, Illyria heads to Lucky Shack Cards & Drink to try to recruit more minions.
Illythia: I could change your life if you accept me as your Lord and Savior.
Sandy: Bitch, please.
Illythia: I'm sorry, that came out wrong. I just meant that if you become my slave for all eternity, I could possibly make you richer than God.
Sandy: Ohhh, well if there's money involved; count me in!
Work seems to be going well, even though it's not her preferred ambition. I'll get there after she's popped out a few kids, aha. Right now she just needs money.
Illythia: Loyal subjects! In celebration of acquiring walls, I am throwing an awesome party at my shack. Be there or find yourself thrown in my dungeon once I am ruler of all things. And no, this isn't the kind of dungeon in which we'll have kinky fun; this one will have legit torture devices. You have been warned.
Regardless of her warnings, only four people came -__-
Adrian: I do need to reach enlightenment in my life. Gosh, you're amazing! I'm so glad I gave up my life and freedom for you, oh Holy one.
Rose: Your moves perplex me, dear sir.
Illythia: I have given this careful consideration, and I have decided that I want you to rule by my side. Your hair needs work, as does your wardrobe, but your facial features are not so ridiculous that you'll make my heirs hideous. And I do need heirs, because who else am I going to give my fortune to once I pass? CHARITY? Ha!
Daniel: I would be lying if I said I was not flattered, my Lady. You are coveted by most of your loyal subjects and I am honored that you would pick me, although I feel as though I may not be worthy of the privileged.
Illythia: We'll see how worthy you are in bed later tonight, handsome.
Fuck yeah. But the party ain't over yet!
:D
Aaannnd miscarriage. Damnit.
Daniel: It'll be alright, beautiful; we'll have another. That one was not meant for this world. Perhaps if I moved in, I could tend to your needs better.
Illythia: Fine, but we need to do something about that hair.
Much better.
Baby bump!
Daniel: My mother always expected me to make an honest women out of anyone I knocked up, so let me start out by telling you that you are more amazing than anyone could ever hope for. Your dreams of one day ruling this small, pathetic town is inspiring and I would love...
Daniel: ...If you would be my wife, my fair Lady. Please, do me the honor by accepting this ring as a small token of my everlasting love for your ambition and narcissism.
Illythia: Well I do like shiny things, and my emotions are all over the place because this baby is pressing on my bladder...
Illythia: Of course I accept! You have proven to be the most subservient and polite of all my minions, Daniel; and once we are rich and I rule everything, you will be handsomely rewarded.
Daniel: Your love is reward enough for me, my Queen.
Aww.
Illythia: Why did I want this? THIS PAIN IS INHUMAN! Get it out of me! Get it out!
After much screaming and agony on both parent's parts (Illythia may or may not have broken three bones in Daniel's hand during childbirth), little Seppia and Seppius were born into the world. As Seppia was born last, and this challenge says the yougest child must be heir, she will be the one to carry this story forward once she's old enough. But for now... THE CUTENESS! fhdskfjfk.
Now that she has successfully birthed two beautiful babies, Illythia goes back on the hunt for more people to dominate and control.
Gretchen: Girl, you crazy! I ain't bowin' down to no leader, yo. I'm the motherfucking Queen B around these parts, bitch.
Illythia: Your delusions bore me.
Illythia: Oh, I heard about you in the news. Out on bail, aren't you? I could get you off once I actually stop this cop nonsense and become a lawyer, but only if you only accept me as your ultimate leader.
Alec: Girlfriend, you got yourself a deal!
I was going to end this chapter here, but I found it would be cruel to leave you guys without a glimpse at how cute the kids are:
Perfect children are perfect :D
