The Fish Legacy - 01.13
Last time on The Fish Legacy:
Guitar threw a tantrum about his face, hit on his almost-cousin, and managed to catch the interest of a lovely young woman. Kayla and Axolotl were still super sweet on each other, and Kayla aged into an Adult.
Kayla: I'm back, bitches!
This would feel so much more triumphant if there had been a two-month break between this post and the previous one.
Apparently, I had scheduled a dinner party for literally three seconds after I opened the game. So...here is Old Lady Cassidy.
(I'm guessing her age inspired me to forgive her for her previous saltiness toward Axolotl.)
...And here we have the real reason for the dinner party.
Banjo is just three days away from aging up into a teen and she still needs to make four friends to complete her aspiration.
(That's Nick Purdue, by the way. I don't know who the father is, but he's probably Cassidy's child.)
Guitar spent the entire party playing games on his computer.
And doing his homework on the bathroom floor.
You do you, buddy.
Banjo was...terrible at making friends. As per usual.
Wait. You're having a birthday. As an elder? So you're...inviting folks over to watch you die?
Honestly, I would have said yes--if only out of morbid curiosity--but everyone was tired and someone still needs to make four friends.
I mean, yes, but you're neither a child nor an adult, so you're kind of useless to me right now.
But also you got really good looking, and I'm going to keep that in mind for...reasons.
...Unless, of course, it's creepy to have one of the kiddos marry the child of a family friend and, in that case, forget I implied anything.
Here's where I started getting frustrated with myself for being so focused on completing Banjo's child aspiration. I've realized I don't actually find that a fun way to play the game, but I'm in so deep; I can't stop now.
Ooh! A promotion!
Axolotl: Wanna help me celebrate?
She do!
It was only after they were already in bed that I remembered I didn't have them take birth control and I have risky pregnancy set to 5%. 😬
IT'S HAPPENING!!
I figure he would probably want to leave school early because today is GeekCon and he's a nerd he is embarrassed about his face.
THIS IS THE KIND OF CAUSE AND EFFECT GAMEPLAY I'M TALKING ABOUT! *fist pump*
Jaycee: Uh...is everything okay? I mean, you invited me to skip school with you, but now you're just...staring at a wall...?
Guitar: Okay, Guitar. It's now or never. Just turn around. She won't care about your face.
Jaycee: Why is he muttering to himself?
Guitar: Your boobs look really nice in that shirt. Can I touch them?
Jaycee: *sigh* Seriously?
Gutar: What's that supposed to mean?
Guitar: Oh, I get it. You're one of those shallow girls. You wont let me touch 'em just because I'm a pizza face!
I'm having fun with this, you guys.
Guitar: Well, you're not so good looking yourself! And I'm only friends with good-looking Sims who want to date me!
Please don't choose him for heir, you guys. He will never, ever find a spouse.
I'm just kidding. I love both of the kiddos and you should choose who you want.
Evie: Are you sure you're legal drinking age?
Guitar: Yes, of course I am.
Evie: *is not convinced*
Bartender: *serves him alcohol juice anyway*
Evie another of my favorite pre-made Sims, by the way.
...Are you drunk or flirty?
Oh, no, gross. He's underage. Stop.
Guitar: Wait. You're leaving, too?
*deep sigh of relief*
Jaycee: I can't believe you're drinking and hitting on old women!
She's not drunk, by the way; she's embarrassed. For him, probably.
Guitar: I don't have to take this from you! I'm leaving!
Guitar: *throws a huge tantrum*
Guitar: Heyyyyyy. Buddyyyyyyy!
It's a shame I couldn't actually punish him for underage drinking. But I could have Axolotl argue with him about house rules, which was an okay substitute, I guess.
How did you both lose the argument?? It's pretty clear-cut who is right here!
Since he'll probably start getting famous from streaming video games anyway, I figure he may as well start an angry rants SimTube channel.
Yeah. He's not winning any hearts with that video.
Normally I wouldn't screenshot these, but it was just so appropriate for his current self-image.
Banjo's birthday is tomorrow and I'm still obsessed with completing her aspiration so...a vacation day from school it is!
Guitar: How come she can skip school, but I can't?
Kayla: *distracted* I didn't think I could get acne as an adult....
I ♥ the Slice of Life mod.
At the Brindleton Bay museum, Banjo meets a kid in a hat.
This feels super cheaty to me, but I know cloudgazing is an effective friendship booster, so....
*gasp* WHO ARE YOU?
Yesss. Yesssssss. Befriend her!
Omg that smile, though.
More cloudgazing.
Attractive Woman Whose Name I Did Not Write Down: A child? *laughs* I thought you were a Young Adult, like me!
Back at home, Guitar films an Embarrassed apology video.
And Axolotl continues to be super stressed about her fame.
VICTORY!
Axoltol is sprinting up the career ladder.
Banjo: Melfum hamm mubba! (Translation: Welcome home, Mother!)
Now that Banjo has completed her aspiration, it's time to work on some of the remaining Cub Scout badges.
Banjo: Please just let me be a child.
Omg. 😂
Gnome: WELCOME TO HARVESTFEST!
Guitar hugged Axolotl autonomously. It was adorable, especially after all their fighting.
They had a lovely Grand Breakfast as a family.
And at some point I hired a maid.
Cassidy walked by and, because she's old, I had Axoltol greet her.
I...guess this is okay.
Kayla: HarvestFest isn't the only thing we're celebrating today.
Banjo: MY BIRTHDAY!
Well, it was great while it lasted, Banjo, but I'm 100% certain you're a Kayla clone. And as much as I love Kayla...I'm really attached to Axolotl's features and Guitar's anger issues, so....
She rolled Insider (yuck) and Friend of the World.
And, hey look, she's a little bit famous.
Okay. Sorry. I'll show you her face.
Is...is that...Axoltol's nose?
Banjo: I can't hear whatever judgments you have about my physical appearance!
IT IS!!
♥♥♥
(Axolotl for comparison.)
And, you know, because I like taking screenshots of Axolotl.
