Ghastly Hallows--A Who's Your Daddy Project, Chapter 63: The Recap

[kaseofhearts]

I've just recently created the imgur account.  I'll get another update going for this before too long, and I think my photobucket resets on the 26th?

I would recommend putting pictures you already used in stories onto imgur and then slowly replacing the posted pictures with the imgur ones, since Photobucket will count your bandwidth as how many times your used photos are viewed. AS they're posted here, they can be viewed a bunch of times a month and send your bandwidth into the ground every time.

We begin this Ghast household update with lots of birthdays.



Queronus became a child,



Lhasa and Mahcello became young adults,



and Perstphanie became a teen.



"Okay, there's no way I'm wearing the same hairstyle as mom," Perstephanie said, perhaps a bit more strongly than her mother would have liked.  The teen girl then did the expected makeover.



Mahcello invited Lilly-Bo over, broke up her marriage, and then ingratiated himself to her.



"So, what say we get some coffee...and married?" he asked her with a smile.
"Absolutely," she replied.
Lhasa also moved out, though his girlfriend Stephanie is still a teen, so he moved in with his older sister Jhinx for the time being.



Lil Bling, however, is no longer a teen.  That was very convenient for Zheena.  Getting caught in the midst of adult relations in the local movie theater was not at all convenient.



Orisis managed to finally convince young Miss Littler that he was worth her time.



He was very persuasive.



Things were, indeed, really heating up.



Their relation was confirmed...as was something else.
On the way to school the next morning, Zheena's teen daughters were nothing but complimentary.



"Liking your sense of style, sis," said Navine.
"Right back atcha," Perstepanie replied.
And a day later, things got intense.



"Ow," Perstephanie said. Then she added, "OW!!!"  Then she broke the surface of the water.



Yep, the water broke.



And a baby boy was born.



"I will name him...Razzlefrazz!" said Zheena, clearly indicating that she has run out of good names.
And while her brother was being born, Perstephanie caught a much needed nap.

[Trip]

And she still has a little over a quarter of the alphabet left to go! I hope Zheena finds her names.

Perstephanie still remains a lovely girl. I like her delicate features.

[kaseofhearts]

I suggest for S, you name the baby "Steyonce." Like Beyonce, but with a ST instead of a B.

[LivvieLove]

Am I the only one to think that Razzlefrazz is a perfectly acceptable and decent name?
Jeez. PS. I second the vote for Steyonce. Perfect for boys and girls.

Oh, she'll come up with names.  They just might be odd...which would simply make them all fit in, I suppose. 
Perstephanie is one of my favorites, too.

Steyonce.  Hmm, that has potential...

I'm glad you like it.  I had actually thought of Razzlefrazz as a joke to myself since I wasn't coming up with any "real" names I liked.  Then, the baby was born and I still hadn't come up with anything better, so I kept it.  I'm not really sure how Razzlefrazz ended up with his skin tone as he's the son of Zheena and Lil Bling.  Either Bling is on a different slider than I thought, or this baby just decided that genetics don't matter.

Pippin:  Zheena, you've just given birth to baby number 18, what are you going to do next?
Zheena:  I'm going to Egypt!
Perstephanie:  Ooo, I'd love to learn about a foreign country!
Zheena:  Okay, you can come along, but don't cramp my style.



Pippin:  Doesn't seem like that should be a problem.  You two obviously came here with different interests.



Pippin:  Shall we assume this is your Egyptian stud muffin?



Pippin:  I'll take that as a yes.  Let's check back in on Perstephanie.



Pippin:  Yep, she goes to a foreign country and reads every book they own.  She's living the dream.  She also enjoyed some local customs like snake charming.



Pippin:  She also enjoyed some local cuisine...wait, that other girl looks familiar...



Pippin:  Anyway, some locals thought young Perstephanie was rather impressive, like this photohound,



Pippin:  and this stalker.



Perstephanie:  Stranger danger!!!  Stranger danger!!!



Pippin:  Zheena, in the meantime, seems interested in exploring the local tombs.



Zheena:  I'm planning on heading back home with some treasure.
Pippin:  And indeed, when they got home,



Zheena:  Treasure!

[Tiamet]

No, no, Zheena, Steyonce, then Treasure!

[LivvieLove]

Haha, I love the break through the wall there - nice way to toss in some Barbara and Perstephanie throughout your story...

Wait... how DID you do that?

Anyways, I can't wait to see the next baby!

[Lisa46]

Zheena is so funny! Never seen that maternity wear before. What EP is it?

[PeregrineTook]

No, no, Zheena, Steyonce, then Treasure!

Steyonce is the treasure.  Must remember to eat watermelon...

Haha, I love the break through the wall there - nice way to toss in some Barbara and Perstephanie throughout your story...

Anyways, I can't wait to see the next baby!

Yep, I had both stories in Egypt at the time, so it seemed like the logical thing to do  ;=)  I imported a copy of Zheena and Perstephanie into an open file with Babs and Mal and staged the shots.  Then I went back to regular files and fleshed out the rest of the adventures.  Glad you enjoyed it!

Zheena is so funny! Never seen that maternity wear before. What EP is it?

Hmm, I'm not actually sure.  I think this came with Showtime?  Hard to remember which goes with what.  I also have some CC stuff, but I'm pretty sure that was an EP outfit.

[Lisa46]

Showtime is quite possible. I own all expansion packs except for Showtime and ITF and I don't have that outfit.

[PeregrineTook]

Navine didn't manage to make it home before the sparkles caught her.



Which, of course, led to a fashion show.



However, young Razzlfrazz did not have such an issue.



And he aged up with Zheena's hair.



While this birthday meant there was plenty of leftover cake, Zheena was having a different diet.



And that helped make this happen...



"I will name you Steyonce!  And I totally came up with that on my own," Zheena said, unfairly cheating hearts out of the credit she is due.



"Simba," Alfonso said, holding the newborn baby aloft, "everywhere the light touches is our kingdom, but not that dark area.  That is Midnight Hollow."
"Stop pretending the baby is the lion king," Zheena chastised him, "and where did you put Razz?"
"I was done playing with him," Alfnso replied, "so I put him away."



Jhinx aged up, and turned into some sort of creepy alien.



"It's a glitch!  You know it just took a while to render the image, Pippin!"
Okay, alien girl.  Anyway, Jhinx paid the family a visit.



"Nice kids, mom," Jhinx said, "but I still call dibs on being your favorite."
"Sure," Zheena replied.  "Which one are you again?"



Ooo, it looks like she's the pregnant one!
"Actually, Kanis and Elspeth are also expecting.  Oh, and so is Navine.  She apparently hooked up with not-our-real-dad's ex-boss."
Speaking of pregnancies, I found you another nice baby-daddy, Zheena!



"Umm, yuck!  He's a nasty vampire.  Superntural skeptic, remember?"
He's also a criminal, and you need to mark that box off on your jobs list and we're running out of pregnancies to make it happen.
"Ugh, fine."



"Hey there, disgusting vampire guy," Zheena greeted him, bolstered by her mastery of the charisma skill.  "What say you and I go make a baby.  I'll even let you go kiss your wife over there goobye first."
"Deal!" said Vlad the vamp.
And speaking of vampires...



Queronus has found the woman for him.  Belisima Hemlock.



He finds her lovely.  Of course, he'll have to age up to teen, which he does on the same day that two of his siblings also have birthdays.



Orisis is up first.



He went with the blow out afro and has somewhat of a Prince-like look.



Perstephanie was way too happy as Queronus became a teen.



He has a bit of a Ron Weasley look.



Then Steyonce aged up...and the kitchen caught fire mid-celebration.
Prom was the same night as those birthdays.  Perstephanie beat out the mean girl and the popular girl to win the title of prom queen.  Not being the mean or popular one, she didn't really want the award all that much.   In a bit of a surprise, she ended up in a relationship with Omar Schlick-Striker even though they barely knew each other before the dance and she was already extremely good friends with another (cuter) guy.
Queronus didn't manage to get a chance to invite Belisima to be his date before the dance.  However, his night was brightened a bit more as he was named prom king:  a moment that was a close second in the highlights of the night as it paled in comparison to when he spotted three-eyed llama.  He ended the night still being single.



Zheena had tried to have  pregnancy with a visitor from France prior to her liason with Vlad and neither of those took.  Hopefully, Ritchie Striker will have more luck.  If we have some strange glitch and Zheena can't get pregnant any more, this does not bode well for this particular challenge...
On a happier note, I'll leave you with this night shot of a zombie finding Orisis adorable as he is moving out and getting ready for life with his lady love:  Deidre Littler.

Steyonce became a thing! Hahahha. Steyonce is wonderful. And so is Ron Weasley. And is Miss Hemlock burning or something? What happened to her skin?

No idea why Belisima looks all splotchy.  She looks lovely in the relationship panel, but strangely warped in actual play.  Ah well.
And yes, Steyonce is totally a thing!
