Third Time's the Charm: Chapter 67- The End!/Heir Recap (Jan 20)-COMPLETE!

[Malley]

It's amazing that being the tenth heir, Azure isn't exactly a pudding face. She's beautiful.

She doesn't have the unique looks like some of the previous heirs did, but she still turned out quite lovely.

Wow, you're doing an awesome job!  Someday I'll do this well (I hope).
That family's lovely, and that includes the girl whose name you forget  :=)
Of course, I wanted more Hunter shots, but that's okay.  It was still a great update  ;=)

Apparently, her name isn't even in my notes...fail...

Chapter 65: The Birthday Update

Yeah, so this update is mostly going to be about birthdays, so let's just jump straight into, shall we? First up, Hunter was celebrating her child birthday.





Here is child Hunter.





Like her older siblings, she liked to get away from the noisy household and play some chess in the garage.



Back inside, Saffron was rocking out on his guitar...



...when he realized that it was also his birthday!







Saffron's traits were Family Oriented, Virtuoso, Perceptive, Ambitious  and Star Quality. His lifetime wish was to become a Hit Movie Composer.



He turned out to be a nice looking guy



I wasn't kidding when I said this was going to be an update all about birthdays. Mauve joined his sister and brother in the festivities.



He didn't seem that excited about it, though...







Here is teenage Mauve.



Not sure how many traits I listed for Mauve, so I'll just give them all again up to this point: Clumsy, Artistic, Friendly and Hates the Outdoors.



Mauve had always been more inclined to the arts and that did not change upon aging up into a teen.



A few days into his adulthood, Saffron maxed out the guitar skill. With his ambitious trait, he got extra lifetime happiness points.



Despite coming from such a large family with traits of all kinds, it was nice to see that the kids all got along together. Saffron and Hunter spent some time hanging out in the garage over a friendly game of chess. Saffron told his little sister about his musical accomplishments.



Guess what? Yet another birthday!





The last toddler in the dynasty had become a child!



Here is child Vermillion. His traits are Excitable, Athletic and Photographer's Eye.





Whew! That was seriously a ton of birthdays. Looking at my pictures for this dynasty, it appears we are only a few updates away from finishing! Can't believe we're almost there

[PeregrineTook]

Wow, that's a crazy amount of birthdays!  A really lovely group of kiddos there (though Hunter is obviously the loveliest).    ;=)

[KRae]

Those kids have some seriously gorgeous eyes. I like how Mauve color coordinates with that freezer bunny shirt.

[CeresIn]

Mauve has this melancholy look that makes me want to hug him. Maybe it's the eyes on the screenshot that makes him look sad.

The birthdays seemed never ending in this household.

Mauve's color scheme works really well for him. He looks a lot like Slate too.

Chapter 66- World Traveller

With the last toddler of the dynasty reaching the child stage, the downstairs bedroom was redecorated once again. Mauve, Hunter and Vermillion would be sharing the downstairs bedroom while Azure, Saffron and Cerise would continue to reside in the upstairs bedroom.



Yeah, so, having played this dynasty some time ago, I occasionally come across the photo of some event that I don't remember happening. Like Azure's entire trip to France.

Azure: This is why I became a writer, Watcher. You're helpless without my notes.
Malley: I'd like to give a snarky retort, but it's totally true...







Based on the photos, I think that Azure had some sort of opportunity that took her to France. Once that was out of the way, she played the role of world traveller and spent the rest of her vacation exploring tombs and ruins.











Stating practically no one in this dynasty travelled, the max amount of days Azure had in Champs Les Sims was three, so her vacation was over quite quickly. Back at home, Slate chatted with Mauve, making me realize just how strong his genetics are. They are practically twins, save for the teen-adult height difference.



Speaking of Mauve, he brought a friend home from school one day. Yep, that is Junior and Crystal's daughter. She's now a teenager and I still don't know her name. Yay me!



Prom time rolled around for the teens in the household again, with Cerise and Mauve attending this time around. And, to keep the streak alive, the siblings were selected as prom queen and king respectively.



Cerise dressed up while Mauve decided to just forego the traditional tux and wear his regular clothes to the dance.



It was soon time for Cerise to celebrate her young adult birthday.







Here is young adult Cerise.



Her final traits were Bookworm, Heavy Sleeper, Loner, Supernatural Fan and Proper and her lifetime wish was to become a Star News Anchor.



We weren't done with birthdays yet! Poor Hunter missed out on prom by only a couple of days when she had her teen birthday shortly after Cerise's young adult celebration.







Here is teenage Hunter.



For this birthday, she gained the Natural Born Performer trait.



So many birthdays XD

[PeregrineTook]

Look at Hunter's big, beautiful, blue eyes!  I mean, lovely update!
If I had a nickel for every time I looked at my screenshots and didn't know what was actually happening, I'd have a good start on my retirement fund!  I appreciated how honest you were about it and I'll bet most of your readers have had that moment as well ;=)

That's also probably what I get for finishing up the dynasty so far ahead of time 

[Malley]

Chapter 67: The End!

It's been a long journey for the Matsuri family and it's amazing to think that it was about to come to a close. Azure was finishing up her writing skill challenges when it came time for her adult birthday, one of her last requirements.







She opted for a no-fuss birthday celebration, as she planned to finish up the rest of her work as soon as the sparkles settled.





Within a few days, Azure was finished!

[Malley]

Hi all! I am slowly re-uploading my photos after photobucket's lovely and super helpful terms of use changes. Thanks for bearing with me in this very slow process! I've already done the original Sakura Immortals and have started fixing others...it will be a while, but I'll get it fixed
