The Lilac Legacy 2.1
Caution: Language, adult themes, derpiness.
Notes from the author: First and foremost, the pictures for this entry got all mussed up in Photobucket. I'm sorry if they're oddly sized. Secondly, Happy Halloween everyone! I know it's not a major holiday, and not everyone celebrates, but either way I hope you have a fantastic next couple of days. :) Sorry this update is a bit belated, but Gen 2 is serious bizness and I had to get it all settled. Enjoy!
Last time on the Lilac Legacy: Amethyst leveled up into an adorable tree-hugging teenager, everyone was competing for the heir poll, Plum confessed his undying love to Cyan, his childhood rival and sweetheart, Alain and Lavender aged into elders [Q.Q] and the future generation was decided!
In honor of the new heir, the house was renovated and improved as the generation 2 family will be making use of it. Enjoy the tour!
Spooky decorations adorn the front to celebrate All Hallow's Eve!
I loved the way the kitchen was so there was just some minor renovating done here.
The door in the kitchen is to Plum's new room.
Shiny new dining room so the whole family can eat together.
Hall.
Laundry.
Livingroom.
And that's it for now. I like the fresh new look, ready for the next generation.
We start this update off with adorable old people.
Lavender: I'm not old, I'm rich in years.
I say this all the time but I really couldn't have asked for a better founder. I love her to pieces and she's an adorable elder.
Alain: What about me? I provided the baby magic for this shin-dig!
You too Alain. You're both so cute and ancient. Q.Q
Now-a-days Alain spends his afternoons off pounding on random appliances with a hammer. He says he's making them more durable but I don't think that's how it works...
Alain: *CLANK CLANK CLANK* WHAT HAVE I TOLD YOU ABOUT MALFUNCTIONING, EH? STOP IT RIGHT NOW. JUST STOP IT.
Maid: I don't have to take this.. I could be on a beach somewhere having barely-clothed men of negotiable affection rubbing palm oil on my feet.
Lavender: It's a sailboat!
Fox: I think that's a haystack...
Lavender: Oh... where are my glasses... honestly.
Lav on the other hand has really taken to painting. I hope I can get her skill high enough before she leaves us so that she can paint legacy portraits, but the going is ... slow.
Amethyst: Stop stalling and tell them I won the Heir Poll already!
Fox: Eheh... about that. You came in second, but it was a very close second! People love you!
Amethyst: Aw man! If Violet won I'm moving to another town.
Violet: I heard that.
Not exactly...
Plum: I won! I just found out. Isn't that great?
Alain: My son... *sniffle* So proud...
Ame: Wait... you won? You? Plum, remember that time when mom said she was losing her mind over an article, you started looking for it. Are you sure you should be heir?
Plum: Why not? What's the worst that could happen?
I have to say, based on the Heir Poll votes, I am the only one who likes Violet. Q.Q I know she's catty and kind of a wench, but she was my first Sim child and she'll always have a special place in my heart.
Violet: You know, I could have been a real star if I had won the poll. Fox told me I got a bunch of votes but they just voted for you because you look like a Final Fantasy character.
Plum: I'm sure that's what it was...
Lavender: Uh oh, someone forgot his pants again. Alain, really.
Alain: Huh? Oh.
Amethyst: Dad?
Alain: Hi honey. What's up?
Amethyst: Why aren't you wearing clothes?
Alain: Honey, lots of people work without their clothes on.
Amethyst: I can't tell if you're talking about dancing strippers or not. But since it's you, I'll just assume "yes" and be appropriately horrified.
Dinner at the Lilacs folks, doesn't get any more awkward than this.
Plum: Um... er... well... hi! Did you... I mean... if you.
Cyan: Yes I would like to come over. Yes I had a nice day today. I do want to, don't worry. Bye!
Cyan already speaks awkward teenager fluently. I wonder if they pay you more at work for being bi-lingual.
Plum: Hey pretty lady. I thought we'd just stand here awkwardly next to my house and chat.
Cyan: Plum, don't get me wrong. I like your family well enough, but why is your dad always creeping our conversations?
Plum: DAD. DO YOU MIND?
Plum: Anyway, I really, really like you Cyan- DAD. GO.
Alain: I'm going, I'm going..
Cyan: Amethyst? Is there something on my top?
Amethyst: *stare*
Plum: I'd love to paint those...
Amethyst: I am SO stressed out from this Chemistry homework. Maybe you could give me a little massage Cyan?
Cyan: Um... I'm so glad we're FRIENDS Ame. Isn't that nice?
I know what you're up to, little red. Don't give me that smirk. D:
I think Ame might play for both teams. Or she may be trying to steal Cyan out of spite since she didn't win the Heir Poll.
Cyan: I think your sister is hitting on me, Plum.
Plum: Well you are pretty much gorgeous. I don't blame her.
Cyan: Was that a pick-up line Mr Lilac?
Plum: Do you want it to be?
Cyan: That was... amazing.
Plum: balsdfdkf
Cyan: I have to go but... I'll call you.
Alain: I see... so you smack the hooker with the lead pipe and take her money.
Alain: This game is AWESOME!
Meanwhile Violet was... baking? Honestly, I think she's trying to win the Heir votes a bit late, but she's so cute. Q.Q
The kitchen's a popular place this morning. I noticed the maid, all default Sim bits, and she looks quite pretty other than the monster eyebrows.
Apparently she took my compliment to heart because she stopped doing work and decided to have a nice bowl of Corn Pops with the family instead.
Plum: What do we pay you to sit around and eat cereal because I would LOVE that job.
Maid: Uh oh... er... time to go dust! Hee hee hee?
Alain: Look at this slacker, putting off her work and laying about. She thinks I'm going to keep paying her to be a bum around my house? Fat chance!
Maid: I. HATE. SHOOTING. STARS.
Aww look at her face. All she wanted to do was slack off with the kids. :[
Plum: Excuse me, Violet's giant bum is in the way of my lunch. Can you do something about that?
Violet: It wouldn't be very sisterly to kill him. Too messy too.
Plum: Did you know Cyan is studying to be a doctor?
Lavender: Let's hope she is. You're not going to make enough money to care for all my grandbabies as an "artist".
Violet: Damn it, I wanted to be the one giving mom grandbabies. It's not fair!
Amethyst: Hey... are you okay? You seemed really upset in there.
Violet: I know I didn't get that many votes... it's just. I was the first born, and I work so hard to make my life perfect. It feels wrong not getting to be heir and carry on the legacy, you know?
Amethyst: I feel you, sis. I know what'll make you feel better. Come on.
Violet: Hey this IS pretty fun. Whee!
Ame: I told you, playing catch cures everything! Nice throw!
They're a lot closer than they used to be, it makes me so happy. I knew rooming them together was a good idea. :)
Meanwhile, on the Old and the Restless...
Alain: Hey baby. What do you say you put your dentures in and give me a big wet one.
Lavender: I think I'll just have a nap.
Lavender: Aww, who can say no to that face. C'mere you old stallion you.
I heard giggling in the backyard and.. yeah. Nothing to see here, carry on.
Violet: Did you see Ame outside? Call her in, it's srys bizness birthday time.
Amethyst: Yay, happy birthday Vye!
Lavender: My god... they're all growing up. This is so sad.
ZAP! NOW YOU CAN VOTE! YAY!
Here is Violet all gussied up after her birthday. I think she looks simply adorable in every way. It was a good night.
Violet Lilac: [Randomly Generated]
-Virtuoso
-Neurotic
-Lucky
-Over-emotional-Snob
Her Lifetime Wish: Hit Movie Composer
Her LTW surprised a lot of folks. Shouldn't she be a Heartbreaker or Living in the Lap of Luxury? But I guess her love of music outweighed her passion for being catty.
The next morning, Alain was giving himself a pep talk in the kitchen before breakfast.
Alain: I still have abs... I'm still sexy. RIGHT HONEY? I'M STILL SEXY RIGHT?
Lavender: You're still sexy dear.
Plum: It's our party today, Amethyst! I can't wait.
Plum: Wow, you know what's not awkward? Having your sister sit across from you in her underwear eating breakfast. Definitely not awkward at all.
Lavender: You know what's more awkward? Having your son in his underwear in all the birthday pictures.
Plum: Birthday!
Plum: Hmm... I wish Cyan would be mine forever! That seems reasonable.
Lavender: Another one for the Legacy Gods!
Well, that's not so bad. It was much worse last time.
Oh. Oh god. No.
Here is Plummy after his make-over. I really love how he looks and it suits him.
Plum Lilac: [Randomly Generated]
-Heavy-sleeper
-Artistic
-Absent Minded
-Hopeless Romantic-Great Kisser
His LTW: Golden Tongue, Golden Fingers
I couldn't be more happy with his traits, they fit his slightly awkward artist personality really well.
Amethyst: It's my birthday too you know!
What is it with this family and birthday outfits. Violet wanted formal, Plum wanted underwear and now Ame is leveling up in her swim suit. What in the world...
Lavender: Last one last one last one!
Ame: Going to go ahead and renew my last birthday wish. Bigger boobs than Vye please!
Violet: HAH. Good luck!
And here's Amethyst all grown up! I'd say she gave Violet a run for her money in the chest department. I tried to make her outfit simple, something easy to play sports and garden in. I think she looks adorable.
Amethyst Lilac: [Randomly Generated]
-Loves the Outdoors
-Clumsy
-Athletic-Green Thumb
-Light Sleeper
Her LTW is appropriately : Become a Superstar Athlete
Here's a better picture of her little outfit. So cute!
Cyan also had a birthday, and if we're lucky we'll learn her traits sometime soon!
Does Plum greet her with flowers? A peck on the cheek? A winning smile and a line of poetry? Nope.
She doesn't seem to mind.
Plum: You ready for some delicious pasta? I hear they make a mean Alfredo here.
Cyan: Er... is that woman.. floating?
Man Townie: Mom? Mom what's wrong?!
Elderly Townie: Well... this is inconvenient.
Seriously, permanently inconvenient.
At this point I was spazzing. I have never seen a Sim die in my own game, this was so random and sad!
Death: Ahem, if you're through cowering in fear and trembling at my presence, there's a soul here I've gotta get back to the office by 9.
Death: YOU. YOU LEAD A GOOD LIFE AND WERE KIND TO SMALL ANIMALS. COME WITH ME TO THE ETHEREAL PLAINS AND I WILL SHOW YOU PARADISE. We've got to make the train, step lightly please.
I was making this exact expression.
It didn't last long though. After a quick change Plum and Cyan were ready to have a nice dinner and hopefully not die.
Plum: I know you're in shock, and hungry, and a little freaked out right now, so what better time to ask you to come live with me and my family and be my girlfriend?
Smooth. Just like his dad.
Cyan: Of course I will Plum. I care about you. I just know we're going to have a lovely life.
Thank you for reading and supporting the Lilac Legacy. UNTIL NEXT TIME!
