The Lilac Legacy 1.7
Caution: Language, adult themes, derpiness.
Last time on the Lilac Legacy: Plum spent some manly time with Alain, Amethyst cacoon popped into a toddler, Alain and Lavender went for a mini vacation to the beach, Alain accidentally burned down the living room, Violet then almost burned down the kitchen right afterward and Plum aged into a gorgeous hunk of teenager.
I decided against Plum sharing a bedroom with his sister. A toddler sharing a room with a sixteen year old boy could be super... super... awkward.
We start this update with a quick make-over of Plum's bedroom. I made it look, you know, more like a teenage boy's room.
As you can see, his painting skills are.. progressing?
Amethyst also got her own room, converted from the nursery. I really like it.
Everyone was getting ready for dinner, and Alain took a minute to reflect on how awesome his son was. A-dorbz.
Lavender surprised us all with her unknown sushi making skills. Seriously, all I've ever seen her make is Autumn Salad and Waffles. Alain does most of the cooking. It's... safer that way.
Lavender: Make fun of my cooking all you want. You are far too uncouth to understand such a delicate culinary art such as sushi making.
Fox: Mhm. That's why you're eating your sushi with a fork instead of chopsticks.
Plum: Dad, this tastes like ass.
Alain: Eat your sushi son, and be glad she didn't burn the house down.
You're one to talk, Mr. Jade.
Also, I am concerned about Amethyst. Vye and Plum were perfect toddlers but the third child has some serious anger issues. Must come from being a spoiled youngest.
Plum: Here you go, Ame. Mum made you some nice cinnamon apple oatmeal.
Amethyst: No oatmeal, want shooshi.
She then proceeded to throw it off the high chair. I had never seen that before and it happened so fast, I didn't even get a cap.
Round two. FIGHT!
Lavender: You have to eat your food if you want to be big and strong like mummy!
Amethyst: NO WANT OATMEAL.
Lavender: Your daughter is a real piece of work.
Alain: She's only my daughter when she's a cereal slinging heathen. Thanks, dear.
Lavender: Amethyst Lilac, you are eating your supper.
Amethyst: No!
Alain: Eat your dinner, honey.
Amethyst: NO!
Plum: Come on, pipsqueak, you have to eat.
Amethyst: NO!
And then she pooed herself and proceeded to rampage through the kitchen.
Plum: How can something so tiny wreak so much havoc? I'll hear her screams in my sleep. *sigh*
Aww, she's recharging for her next battle. Think I'm joking?
This was bright and early the next morning.
Maid: Damn it, the rumors about this house are true. It's full of crazy red-headed women! I'm quitting and pursuing my life long dream of exotic dancing.
Alain:There's one in every family. Who's my little hellion bent on world destruction. It's you, isn't it? Yes it is. <3
Amethyst: ^_^
How she goes from she-devil to ridiculous levels of adorable is beyond me, but I think Violet has her work cut out for her being the most dramatic teenager.
Speaking of ginger teenagers, this is Cyan. She's childhood friend/rivals with Plum and decided to study with him after school today.
Cyan: Ready to hit the books? I could really use your help in AP Chemistry.
Plum: I think we could teach each other a lot about Chemistry. *smolder*
Dang Hopeless Romantic Sims. Despite fighting constantly on the playground their entire childhood, Plum is suddenly aware of what a fox Cyan grew up to be.
Plum: Hey sis, this is Cyan. I don't think you guys have met.
PS: WHAT is Violet eating? It looks like burned waffles. Delicious.
Cyan: Nice to meet you!
Violet: Yeah, I know her. She committed social suicide last year when she joined the book club. Ew.
Plum: Violet!
Cyan: Well excuse me. Some people actually like to read the words next to the pretty pictures.
Violet is becoming shallow and catty, pretty much the standard teenaged girl. She's developing her own personality.
And it's not particularly tactful.
Cyan: Your sister is a harpy.
Alain: *is blatantly eavesdropping*
Plum: I'm really sorry. She's super popular so it's her job to bad-mouth any other female within a six mile radius. I uh, think reading is really cool.
Cyan: Thanks. You're not so bad now that you've stopped pulling my hair and pushing me over. I'm glad I decided to visit.
Lookit his face. I just want to squeeze it. Q.Q
Plum: You can go now, dad.
Cyan: Oh, hi Mr Lilac. I didn't see you there.
Alain: Hello, hello, don't mind me. I totally wasn't listening in on your conversation or anything weird like that, heh heh.
Alain:Looks like having a thing for red-heads runs in the family. My son has a crush heeeheee.
Plum: Daaaaaaaad.
Cyan: Tee hee, your dad is a total creeper.
Plum: Haha, yeah.
*A few feet away*
Violet: ...and then Pinky Rose was like "So what if I banged half the football team, at least I get into the games for free." What a skank! Hahah.
Lavender: Aww, I miss high school. *sigh*
Like mother like daughter. Not exactly a good influence, Lav.
Alain: Oh, did Cyan leave? She seems like a sweet girl. You like her, don't you?
Plum: Dad, come on. Don't make this awkward.
Is that a challenge?
Alain: Since you're developing feelings for the opposite gender, I just wanted to say that it isn't the size that matters. What you see in those adult videos on your laptop is not normal.
Amethyst: *is scarred for life*
Plum: DAD!
Alain: What? I'm just telling you for your own good. No one told me and I spent most of my teens beating myself up about the size of-
Plum:Okay, time for bed Ame. Dad's been reading those Parenting magazines again and I don't want you any more emotionally scarred than you already are.
The next morning was Amethyst The Destoryer 's birthday so I wanted to take a picture of Lav as she was getting ready. She may be a working mother of three, but she's still gorgeous.
... most of the time.
Lavender:Look at me, my name is Mr. BossMan and I say you can't run that story about old ladies running a drug cartel behind the facade of a knitting group.
I love my founder so much. <3
ANYWAY it's cake time! I'll really miss toddler Amethyst. She was... exciting.
Maid: WOO HOO, HAPPY BIRTHDAY LITTLE DEMON CHILD, YAY!
Lavender: Didn't you quit yesterday to follow your dreams and become a male stripper?
Amethyst: Stripper!
And... what an ideal time for Alain to get home.
Alain: Aww, I didn't get any strippers for my birthday.
Amethyst: Derp!
Meet child-Amethyst. By the way, the back shot is just for admiring her hair, perverts.
Amethyst Lilac: [Randomly Generated]
-Loves the Outdoors
-Clumsy
-Athletic
She loves ratatouille, Latin music, the color spiceberry, and her sign is Virgo.
She's pretty much my angry little tomboy and I wouldn't have her any other way. Also.
She looks exactly like kid-Lindsay Lohan. And not on purpose. O_O
Her freckles just slay me, they are too cute.
Amethyst:Hi daddy!
Alain: Unless Lavender was lying about that trip to Vegas, I don't remember having a pre-teen daughter.
Amethyst: I'm Ame, silly.
Alain: Oh! of course, of course. *shifty eyes*
To make it up to her, Alain brought his little sports fanatic outside to play some ball under the moon light.
Amethyst: Here it comes dad!
Alain: Grr, why does my twelve year old daughter play ball with me, but not my sixteen year old son.
Amethyst: OW, dad! Not so hard!
Alain: Aw, sorry honey. Maybe we should play frisbee or something.
Amethyst: Where is that nice, safe, soft Nerf ball? If I get any more bruises, the guidance counselor
is going to have some serious questions.
She didn't find a Nerf ball, but she did find AN ALLIGATOR WITH A BOW ON IT. Best toy ever.
As Alain was making dinner [he and Lavender take turns autonomously. It's pretty adorable] I snapped this shot to prove that I have finally fixed all of my floating objects. OMSP is amazing but easy to derp up. Yay non-floating Starbucks cup!
Fox: Hey gremlin, I just said your dad made dinner. What's with the cake?
Ah, I see. And he was giving Lavender crap for her cooking skills. I'd eat cake too.
Speaking of Lavender, she decided to try her hand at writing a book instead of starting a smear campaign on old ladies.
Lavender: "He gently thrusts his thick love rocket into her quivering tunnel of desire-"
Oh don't worry. It's a trashy novel. She still loves writing smut.
Violet: Hey remember me? I'm adorable and awesome.
Yes you are. I don't pick favourites... much... but Violet is still amazing and wonderful. <3
Alain: YES. 1 OF 3 TRAINED TO USE THE DISHWASHER. SCORE!
Vye is neurotic so she pretty much cleans anything and everything all the time. I'm not really going to credit it to the Lilac parenting method.
Then it was school time and I noticed the mailmanwoman had been waiting there for most of the morning.
Fox: Are you waiting to deliver a package? Hello? Anybody there?
Mailwoman: Mmm. I like red-heads. *drool*
Yeah, I think you should go now. RUN VIOLET.
Violet: I heard Snowy Ivory gave the bus driver a handy after his shift last week. She's a total tart.
Plum: ...
Bus Driver: *whistles cheerfully*
Amethyst: Fox, what's a-
Fox: SHE MEANS A HANDSHAKE. SHE GAVE HIM A HANDSHAKE AND A TART IS A PASTRY. GO TO SCHOOL.
Alain had the day off so he decided to work out. This is his middle aged bod. Dang, son.
Alain: Ugh, I'm getting old and fat. Gotta stay on top of the workout or your body'll turn on you!
Alain: Hggh! I will be an astronaut! I WILL.
Wanting to impress a certain blue-eyed beauty, Plum decided to get a part time job so he could ask Cyan on a date.
I sent him to the diner to work as a bus boy, but he ended up at the... the Spa, Plum?
Plum:I buy my economy size bottle of hair gel here. I want a discount!
They hired him of course, which was awesome! I was so proud. He'll never let Violet live it down that he got a job before her. Then again, to Vye menial labor is beneath her, so I'm not sure how upset she'll be.
Violet opted to visit the neighbors after school. Remember Jet Onyx? His parents split up and he moved into town with his mum.
Violet: Hi... uh. Is Jet here?
Mrs Onyx: Oh god, the crazy red-head is back. How did she even find us?
Oh hello again! He'll be home from work shortly. Do come in.
While she waited, Vye pulled out her conveniently located guitar and played some music. She's getting better!
Mrs. Onyx: Where is that son of mine... get this girl and her be-bop music out of my house.
By then Violet was ready for dinner and I didn't have the heart to make her stay with this batty old lady.
These two are pretty much still madly in love. I love them to pieces.
Alain: Mrs. Lilac, you're looking gorgeous as usual. What's for dinner?
Lavender: Take me right here, right now, in the shower. Dinner can wait. The kids are gone and I want you. Now.
Alain: Oh god, careful with those nails, be gentle!
Lavender:*splash* Alain! My leg doesn't bend that way, here let me help.
Violet: .....
...forgetting that Violet was due home any minute.
Lavender: ...but why can't I make sushi again? You loved my sushi! You had two plates!
Alain:Actually honey, the... trash compactor had two plates.
Lavender: You don't like my cooking? *wibble*
Lavender: Fine. I'll make something else.
Mmm, those look good!
Fox: Uh... Lav?
I laughed so. so. so hard. What is she even doing?!
Thankfully Alain defused the situation by talking about their awesome trip to the beach last week. They were one step away from getting a tofu dog with a side of fabric softener.
These two are bonding over their mutual dislike of school. Plum would rather be painting and Ame would rather be kicking a soccer ball around the backyard.
This goody-two-shoes on the other hand, is on the Honor Roll. I love it.
Amethyst: You're right daddy, studying outside does make me feel better. [Love of the Outdoors ++] You're going to be an astronaut so this long division should be easy! Can you help me with number 9?
Alain: It's not tree is it?
Amethyst: .....I'm going inside.
Lavender:Honey, maybe you should teach Amethyst something you're good at instead of messing with her arithmetic building blocks.
Alain: We could work out together? Would you like that Amey?
Amethyst: It would make me a better athlete. Could be fun dad! Better than flunking math...
Even though their personalities are really different, I think Plum and Amethyst prefer each other over catty Violet. That's okay though, Violet has enough stalkers friends from school to keep her company.
What a gorgeous night sky. Why am I snapping pictures of the stars you ask?
Ah yes. Thief #3. They never learn.
This one is a lady and damn. She's working those vertical stripes if you know what I mean.
Thief: Can you stop hitting on me? I have a job to do.
Fox: Ah, sorry. Carry on.
Thief: I knew they were loaded! EZPZ, they even left the door unlock-
Thief: WHAT'S THAT NOISE? THEY HAVE AN ALARM? OH SHI-
Police Officer: Ah, the illustrious cat burgler, Busty Kate. The jig is up.
Thief: Aw crap, maybe crime doesn't pay.
Violet: Wow. I wonder if she had to have surgery or if those jugs are nat-
Lavender: Back to bed, perverted daughter of mine. The coast is clear.
Alain: Um... officer?
Police Officer: Just checking this hunk room out for missing property. I love my job. Don't worry, I'm not peeking!
You totally are.
Fox: What's wrong Plummy?
Plum: I just got up, I heard the doorbell. Is someone here?
Oh yeah! It's Jet Onyx. I think he felt badly for standing Violet up last time, so he decided to come over during the weekend when he didn't have to work. Everybody, say hi to Jet.
Jet: Oh, you're one of those cooky SimOverlords who name their Sims after colors. Very original!
Fox: HEY! >:[ Do your job and go hang out with Violet. Or else.
He's actually re-dic adorable. But he's a nerd! I'm not even sure Violet and her new social stature will know who he is anymore. I also immediately regret giving him the same hair style as Plum, in hindsight. Ah well, on with the show!
Violet: Oh, uh. Hi! 4th period math right?
She cheered up when she remembered Jet helped her ace one of her exams. If you help Miss Perfect with her grades, you are a-ok in her book. And what does she do to make it up to him?
Sprinklers!
Jet: Oh no, my glasses!
Also, DAMN. He is ripped as hell for a 16 year old kid. He must be the illusive Super Active Nerd.
Alain: Never touch boys, Amethyst. I'm serious.
Amethyst: Daaaaaad.
Alain: Seriously. Wait until you're old and feeble and then MAYBE I'll consider letting you date.
Amethyst: I just wanted to play frisbee dad...
Violet was not at all bothered by Jet's buff physique. Quite the opposite, actually.
Wanting to impress her new nerdy crush, she played him some jazz guitar in the kitchen.
Alain:Make one move on my daughter and I'll dissasemble you like a piece of machinery. You're not the only one in this house with abs, kid.
Jet: Uh...sir?
After Lavender shoed her nosy husband from the kitchen, these two really hit it off. Turns out they have more in common than they thought, through music and art.
Violet: Thanks for coming over Jet. I know playing in the sprinklers is sort of lame, but I had a great time.
Jet: I got to see you in your bikini so my day was pretty much awesome.
Jet: Aww, did I make you blush? I'm sorry...
Violet: That's for being so sweet to me even after I got all "popular bitch" on you at the door. Thank you.
Eeeeeeee. First kiss, in the kitchen, in their dripping wet swim suits. And that's it for this update. I had so much fun, and I hope you guys did too!
Thank you for reading and supporting the Lilac Legacy. UNTIL NEXT TIME!
