"Tonight I'm busting out of this old haunted house."
Let's get down to business, shall we? I was just talking to one of the many lurkers who apparently read up on my Sims (AND NEVER COMMENT) and I realized this post is going to have somewhere in the ballpark of 40 images, assuming I use every picture I uploaded. This might take awhile.
So, the twins are a big hit with every walk of life. I mean, they're twins. Who doesn't like twins? In fact, any of you out there who know a set of twins? Mail them each $20 right now. You'll be happy you did.
But moving on, whenever the elder Pershing children bring friends home, all the friends want to do is play with the twins. Which, uh, is fine. It keeps their social up. I just didn't realize teenagers were so into babies.
Yes, Yolanda Shipman. Do not visit with Delilah; play with Dana.
And what was the most important question at the end of the last entry? Why, the fate of the twins' hair! Will they grow up ginger, like the other members of their family or will they turn into horrible outcasts like big sister Dinah? The moment of truth is upon us. Let's start with Dana.
Oh man. Then tension is killing me. Ginger or brunette? Ginger or brunette? Ginger or-
GINGER! HA! GOOD. But what of her sister, Diamond?
Are you worthy of being a Pershing as well, Diamond?
Here we gooooo....
Yaaaay! Gingers all around! Except, well, Dinah, but she's old news by now. Here's the complete family as they stand, for those who want to see just how different Dinah really is.
Truthfully, the toddlers were rushed into childhood a bit sooner than anticipated. Deborah's maternity leave ended, which was fine and dandy for me since she hadn't worked a day since the game started. A baby sitter was hired to watch the toddlers while she and Dysart worked and the other children learned.
What a delightful young lady! The Pershings were glad to pay her fee of $75. After all, it gave them the peace of mind they needed, knowing their twins would be well cared for in their absence.
...BITCH, YOU ONLY SHOWED UP AT SIX. WHAT THE HELL IS THIS? YOU'RE NOT DONE! AND LOOK AT THE BABIES' NEED METERS. HAVE YOU BEEN IGNORING THEM IN THE THREE HOURS YOU'VE BEEN AT WORK?! WHERE ARE YOU GOING TO GO?! THEY'RE, LIKE, TWO. THEY CAN'T TAKE CARE OF THEMSELVES!
So yeah, Deborah had to cut out of work (and get penalized) to rush home to some incredibly unhappy, neglected babies. Thanks, babysitter.
That babysitter came back to bite me in the ass too when it came time for the twins to become children. My usual "pick a trait" option was not allowed because they had been neglected so.
Maybe I didn't WANT her to be an angler. Maybe this is all that god damn babysitter's fault. Deborah has a wrench; if she ever finds her again...
But yes, but Diamond and Dana have grown into lovely young children.
Dana on the left, Diamond on the right. You know they're twins from their pants.
What of the rest of the family, though? What of the non-twins? Rest assured, things have been going swimmingly for them as well! Why, Delilah has a man in her life now as well. Sure, he's no Dimitri Ivanov, but she likes him. His name is Mick Broke and, yes, he's quite the catch.
She caught him in a bear trap.
The two of them have been spending plenty of time together. I have no doubt he'll make her a happy bride one day.
On the topic of Delilah, she seems to get happier by going to the bathroom. I'm not making this up, just pointing it out as an aside.
See?
Daisy has grown into an adult and joined a music career. She's the best darn roadie Riverview has ever seen!
Dinah has her back to Daisy; they're not each others' biggest fans.
And the previous difficulties with Dimitri? A thing of the past. He's now quite the svelte looking suitor and the two are happy with one another.
In fact, he remarked on her loyalty to him, rewarding her for such behavior.
See? Even if she walks around in her underwear most of the time, her reputation is still pure.
We wish you the best of luck in live, Dimitri and Daisy.
Times, they are a-changing. Like a discovery I made by chance. Young Diamond Pershing went to a public lot to do her homework one night and there was an odd looking older businessman about.
Looks a bit like Gilbert Gottfried...
Let's hover over and see who this-
Hunter Cottoneye? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
How could something like this happen to YOU?
What else... oh, the twins get along surprisingly well with their outcast sister.
At least, they did. Little Dinah has aged up into a teenager herself.
"I...made it this far? I thought for sure I'd have been abandoned by now."
Now, they pretty much leave her to her own devices. Or to be mocked by Daisy.
"Sorry, were you planning on going into public with a face like that?"
"I do not like you or your fancy guitar, sister."
Ah, good times. Hey, Dinah's even met a potential suitor. His name is Oscar Alphender and if that doesn't make him husband material, his shining physique and lack of employment will!
And then Delilah had a birthday.
"Yaaay! I'm...four?"
It seems adult Delilah takes after her big sister in both color and manner of dress.
Eh, it all works out, as Delilah seems more prone to making stupid decisions now that she's an adult. As such, I've made her goal the marry rich and have a ton of money. Is she employed? No. But by god, Mick Broke better provide for her or she'll find herself a man who will.
"LOL, I can't cook at all, but I'll make a difficult dish-- why not?"
Delilah also managed to break both the dishwasher and the sink in one go. Skills, Delilah. Deborah wanted to do dishes and was told she could not.
"My bad."
But wait! It appears the twins are preparing to age into teenagers. Does that mean...my goal has been met? Have all five kids made it to teenage years?
Happy Birthday, Diamond!
Ah, good. You seem to be successful enough. Now where's your sister? If it's her birthday too, then I'm almost done. Upstairs? I'll look-
-AHHHHH! O-oh, Dana. You...scared me. I, uh, understand it's your birthday...
...you are still Dana, right? There isn't so weird entity from hell inhabiting you at the moment, right? Maybe it's just the lighting...
...
Well, whatever. You're a teen now, which means the life goals have been met, right?
Every second I look at you, Dana, the worse you look.
Sweet! I completed my Tiny House challenge! I hope everyone had fun reading along!
Oh, and Dinah?
There's still more to your story. We'll wait on Hebei, but you're not off the hook.
MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
"Mother, I am scared."
