One thing I don't get is why is Artie going to be so mad about Addy and Gilberto's house?
I like how Reka mellowed out once she got dropped into this challenge, but it's really no surprise - she liked Addy when she was a voice in her head and the only Grim she truly disliked was Airica. I just hope she continues on with it, even when she ends up face-to-face with Airica at the end. Plus she seems to think of Addy as the child she never had.
Who's that brunette fairy-dude in Riverview in Reka's secoond week - that fairies on parade picture?
George's makeover looks good on him - what's his hair and outerwear top?
Airica could just haunt the fire station or invite Lillian's household over - which would include Adam.
I love all the games, and the competition. What do you classify Addy's story as, just a story?

Artie wanted that house when he had his second start in Hidden Springs.

Poor Airica. Reka seems to be going great but Airica isn't. I still think you are crazy to start two life state dynasties and have another thing going on at the same time. (Addy)

I perfectly understand.  The question you asked when you sent the gift (thank you so much btw) is that I say Reka like Ree-Ka.  Like Ricola the throat lozenge.  It's actually a nickname from old RP days.

Like Shannon said - Artie when he went to Hidden Springs asked why he couldn't live somewhere like this.  He eventually moved in the person who lived in that house - Dawn. 
Reka's mellowing is probably due to the randomizer more than anything.   She went from having certain traits to having other ones completely.   It's a new world and I think even Airica is attempting to adjust and having issues. 

The Brunette fairy with the green wings?  That's Hal Breckinridge.   George's hair came from the store (Sun & Sand collection) while his outerwear top is Pets I believe. 
I've tried the invite over but no one was interested when she asked.  It's been horrible luck actually on the boy thing.

Addy's story is just a story - I can use mods, I can use cheats, I can do whatever I want :D I like it.

I hope Airica find someone soon. It is good you can cheat with Addy's story , the day-care profession can take a lot out of a sim. :P
Great updates.

The Grim Recap:

Airica & Reka go head to head to see who fate believes is right by both having to complete the new life states dynasty.  Will Airica be proven right about how easy a dynasty isn't?   Addy moves to Hidden Springs to begin eternity with Gilberto only to find out she has to be Airica & Reka's watcher.  She also proposes to Gilberto but in a worried state of mind, she tells him to take time to get used to living with her first. Just before the end of last week, they both decided they still wanted to be married.



Hello Minions,

Well it certainly seems like the two of you are approaching this thing differently.   Mom just make sure to not get your skirt caught on fire while trying to find someone new, Ok?  Reka good luck with George and the dogs are adorable.  Just like Barkley and the rest of the canine Bigglesworth line.  I've noticed you both seem to be mellowing out which is slightly incredibly boring you know.  Neither one of your remained evil which is sad really. 

My evil bone actually got the chance to exercise itself recently.   I haven't been learning my magic like I ought so I haven't learned how to repair anything yet.  So every time we break something I have to call Artie's old friend Tomas over.   Well apparently even he can't get away with repairing the dishwasher while in a puddle of water.


The Grandsire himself showed up to take the man in.  He stayed around for a little while afterwards to visit.


He actually took Gilberto to the side afterward while I called to get local contractors to set up how I wanted my wedding to look.  I decided it would be up on the hill that overlooked the town.  I got myself a special dress but decided we wouldn't invite anyone.  It's a moment just for us after all.

Then something I hadn't planned on happened...

~*~*~*~

Ankou: "I understand today is the wedding.  Are you doing this for her or is this your decision free & clear?"
Gilberto: "It's my decision free and clear to do this for her.  She didn't tell me I had to but I know this is for the best for both of us."
Ankou: "Well alright then."


Gilberto: "Why'd you do that?!"
Ankou: "You didn't think it would be some fairy magic did you?"
Gilberto: "Well yeah.."


Gilberto: "Hey wait a minute!  What's with the pink wings?"
Ankou: "Heh.   Heh.. Heh."
Gilberto: "Oh Come on."


Gilberto: "I feel.. different."
Ankou: "Just a few minor things to make you a better person."
Gilberto: "What's that supposed to mean?"
Ankou: "Oh nothing.. I would change clothes .  Your bride is waiting."

~*~*~*~

After I got over the shock of what he had done, I had absolutely no issues going through with the event.  If he can deal with me being pink, I can handle him being orange.


We exchanged rings with all of Hidden Springs waking up behind us.  We even had a few witnesses who showed up in proper attire. 


Knowing that moment when he became one of us was truly magical.  The waterfall nearby, a few very special guests but really all I saw or heard was him.


Ankou: "Why are you crying like a baby?"
Artie: "It's just so sweet and happy."
Roamer: "Let him be.  She is the 8th of his line."



One of the best things things was showing Gilberto some of the things we fairies can do.  I think he enjoyed it.


It wasn't too long after that they all left us at Roamer's insistence.  We didn't have a cake but I'm not sure that I'm unhappy about that.  I didn't need a cake.  I had everything I could wish for except you Mom. 


In other news we also had a burglar randomly appear in my garden.  The beatdown I had to give him probably didn't sit too well with him but I could care less what he thought.  I couldn't believe he was at my house.  My house.  I may have to remind this town what it means to have a Grim in residence.





After our honeymoon, it went back to gardening and toddlers for us.  Gilberto had his hands full with the two little guys he was watching so I started to pitch in.  I have to admit.  It's all very moving in a way but I still don't think I'm ready for little faeboos of our own yet.


There's one little guy that reminds me of what Gilberto looked like before his change.  Makes me think if I had been an early generation and I had known him back on Lunar Lakes, this is what our child could have looked like.  But that doesn't matter now.  We're not on Lunar Lakes anymore.

Gilberto is putting the kids in the cars of their parents and now it's time for us to go to dinner.  I leave with two other shots from Hidden Springs.  The new weather has turned over into Fall for us as well and now all it does is rain but the rain means we get things like rainbows.




We also got a new friend out of the deal but I'll tell you more about Jezebel next time.


Reka - you're doing great with everything keep up the good work. or die in a fire.   Your choice.

Mom - Move your buns!

Love Always --
   Adrasteia


P.S.  Gilberto says "Hi Mom.  Hi Evil Head Voice Lady."   He's so cute.

It's cruel and mildly amusing when repairmen die of electrocution. But considering his past with the Grims, RIP Tomas. Best green repairman to exist.

Oh, and congrats to Gilberto and Addy.

Stop being mean to Reka. I think Addy might be a tiny bit biased towards her own mum rather then the woman who tried to ruin the dynasty that her family had fought to complete for generations.

Go team Reka!

Gilberto now amuses me - so much.  ;D
I mean, he's orange! And Blonde!
And Addy has the eyes, or a very similar colour.
It`s nice that Artie showed up for the wedding, and in one of the zombie formals? Priceless =3

LOL I love how you put that.  Yes I always did like Tomas and he did give me Thomas once upon a time.  So he'll always have a special place in my heart you could say.

LOL I really don't need to add anything to that but like you said on my mypage.  It's just so Grim of her.

Yes it was a great idea, Rachel.  If anyone can think of a funnier name, I take suggestions well.  :D

Artie dressed in formal wear which is the important part.   Addy's eye color is a turquoise and it's what I based her clothes on.  I love that eye color and I'm so glad she got it from her paternal grandfather.

Thank you for "the Grim recap". It is a awesome idea.
Congrats to Addy and Gilberto. :)

Thanks for stopping by Louise!  Again thank you Rachel.

*gasps* I just realized that if Addy's pink and Gilberto's orange that could mean... <taken out incase of spoiler>! ;D This is going to be awesome!!!

I am so enjoying this. I love it that Artie came to the wedding. I loved it formal clothing. Leave it to him to show up in formal boxers. LOL

The Grim Recap:

With a twist of fate, The Boss sentences Reka and Airica to a race for Airica's freedom.   The aliens ask for a heavy price but The Boss is so confidant in the watcher that she's willing to go for it.   Reka went to Riverview while Airica ended up in good ole SV.   Reka has been having a fairly easy time of it so far.  She has a boyfriend George Dean who's a witch, two dogs - Dexter & Pinky and has been getting a lot of her requirements done.  Meanwhile in Sunset Valley, Airica has been climbing the ladder but she's not really getting much else done other than opps.  She can't even find someone to give her enough spark to make her want to go against her love for dear dead Francisco.   

Who is watching all this chaos happen?  Everyone!  Addy who is assigned to mediate is stuck in the middle but really she's just taking time to reap her reward: a lifetime with Gilberto, who just became Mr Grim!  Oh and he's now orange and she's now red but no one really seems to care about that anymore.  And that's what you've read so far on Grim.




Felicitations!  I'm so excited that you got married!  That cat is soo cute too.  You really shouldn't tease me like that.  With the pet or the fire thing.  It's rude.

I think it's obvious from the last two weeks that I was right and that this type of thing really is easy.   It's just hard for the simple minded one that you call mother.


I have officially maxed inventing and gotten the wish for it.   I've learned all but one invention and of course that's the one that will help me fulfill my lifetime wish of making 3 monsters. 


Even the world around me is laughing at me I think.   The sky has done nothing but pour since it became autumn.   Lightning even struck down right next to the house.


Working on my requirements has been a blast.   


Of course that sometimes causes the occassional fire.  Whoops.   I just wish the neighbors that came running to scream would at least help.  Jon Lessen is the worst (the left).  He's always over yelling at me about the fire.


Although Sometimes I wonder what I get myself into.   I thought I had forgotten to the hit button this one time and instead got myself slightly singed. 


There is one thing I like about the autumn.   The leaves are fantastic sources of entertainment.  Especially with George living with me now.


That and it's funny to watch the maid sit out in the rain trying to rake them all up.


Pinky brought home our first tiberium.  George took it down to the elixir shop and had it cut.  We set out the spiral and the gem dust and they both popped up nicely.  §90,000 added to the bank account has a way to make a girl feel all warm inside.


That could have also been the electrical shock too.   (That warm glow you see in the room is yet another fire)

George decided he wanted to go out on a date with me.  So we went down to the bistro while a local contractor did up a small house for us.  I still have no idea what my dream house will look like but this will work for now really.


Top Floor Overview | OurBedroom | Kitchen | Living Room

Something else special happened that night too.

~*~*~*~


George: "Reka Darling.. I have something that I want to ask you.  I've been carrying the wish around for a couple of days now but wanted to wait for the perfect time and I think right now —" -cut off-


Reka: "Marry me George."
George: "Hey I was going to ask that!"
Reka: "Is that a no or a yes?"
George: "Yes Yes Yes Yes" -jumps around like a little girl-

~*~*~*~

To celebrate the new house we decided to go ahead and have a costume party on Spooky Day. 


I dressed up as a tiger and George was a heart doctor. 


I think one of my favorite showings was Hal the fairy being some weird sausage thing. 


He was arguing with Buck Broke about mustard being better.  Then suddenly Buck left since Ruby was also having a costume party.


There were a couple of ghosts that seemed to be mad they weren't more original.  The rest of us had a godo time though. 


Even the dogs seemed to have a good time on spooky day.


Unfortunately in all our fun, we forgot it was George's birthday.   He was at the hospital checking on his dad.  Bennie Dean was in his last hours when George aged up. 


Complete with midlife crises!


I was working on my 50 detonations wish when I caught myself on fire.  I was not letting it happen again so I ran immediately into the house.


To show that I'm being completely honest though, I guess I should let you know I had a visitor.  I don't have to tell you what we talked about but at least I shared that there was a conversation.

Later that night though, the best thing happened...




My birthday!  Just kidding.  We got married the night of my birthday and then all of a sudden it was time to have the sparkles fly.  I had to redo my outerwear just like George.  How annoying.


We also had a visitor come over. Yuri Ivanov started scratching my furniture than tried to flirt with me!  It was my wedding day!

Well that's the end of the week, I should probably let you get back to your husband while I go enjoy mine, yeah?

Take care sweetheart --
