I am happy that after his long adult life he could find love.

[KRae]

@Malley , Isla and Flip have produced a bunch of pretty children.

@PeregrineTook , I don't have Lucky Palms so I don't know how that works, but you know I'd do it if I could.

@Magpie2012 , They only need 15 children so no Romeo, but Oscar is a possibility.

@CeresIn , Only in the Sims....I hope.

Immediately after she moved in, Juliet and Zelda were engaged.
Juliet: I want to marry Zelda.
Zelda: I want to see Isla’s ghost.
Uhoh.


Juliet: Here *bam*, have a vial of bliss.
Zelda: Bwahaha! I’m fiendishly delighted at your misery.
Juliet: I’m miserable?
Zelda: Just looking to the future.


After joining the sprinkler brigade, Zelda realized she was pregnant. She's hoping for a yeti.
Zelda: Okay, okay, I want to get married too.



Done.


The next day at the park, everyone became blissful at least once.


Juliet: What do I do? *screams*
Zelda: *fiendishly delighted* I warned you.


Here we have the result of all that screaming: James, and Artistic Heavy Sleeper. Not a yeti, not even a werewolf.


Flip: We’re going to be best friends in no time.


No, Flip, no! Don’t you teach that baby that stupid cheer.


So why aren’t you participating in the skilling, Zelda?
Zelda: BLURG


Juliet: 48, 49, 50! Yay!
Thornton: I don’t think I’ve ever been so happy.


The family dropped into their beds, um rugs, exhausted that night.
Goodnight, little James. Tomorrow you will be a child.

[Deklitch]

A boy called Juliet? Could be worse, he could be called Two O'Eight or Group O'Eight or even  Pieces O'Eight, names which I may have called the sons of One O'Eight in a current game! (and just be thankful I don't have children of my own with my real surname of Watt

[PeregrineTook]

Loved Zelda's part in this chapter.  Especially enjoyed the hoping for a yeti bit  :=)

[KRae]

Hey, @Deklitch , are you going to post that latest game?

@PeregrineTook , This family has been sorely lacking in Evil.

Khan-Does: Do we really have to eat cake again?
Yes, you do.


James is now Adventurous.


This is how you look when you ask your mom to protect you and she yells at you instead.


Juliet: Don’t worry, little guy, I’ll protect you.


We sent Zelda off to the spa where she met up with some extended family who she was much nicer with.
Zelda: Just setting them up for later.


This is about as Adventurous as James has gotten so far.


Zelda went into labor.
Zelda: I’m fiendishly delighted at my own distress.


Another little boy is born.


Java is a Disciplined Slob, and a werewolf!


Flip: Yes, I know you’re a werewolf, but no, that does not mean you get to go out in the yard.


James is such a good big brother.


Is anyone surprised at Zelda’s choice of learning to talk subjects?


Juliet: This is why we can’t have nice things.


Cake….again.


Java quickly grew more hair and went out to face the world as a Genius.


We’ll leave them discussing whether to buy a chess table and telescope, or just have Isla make yet another laptop unbreakable.

[KRae]

So we went with the computer instead of the chess table. Because math.
Juliet was in the process of learning how to make his final elixir. He only had about 70 more elixirs to make. It sounds like a lot, but after reaching level 10, it should go pretty fast.


Flip tutored Java to help him catch up a little with his brother.
Java: Hey, are you in a hurry to get rid of me?
Flip: No, I’d keep you all here forever if I could.


Catching up won’t be easy. James was ready for his teen birthday.


James’ final traits are Heavy Sleeper, Artistic, Adventurous, and Inappropriate. We’ve been needing someone to laugh and point at birthdays.


With the weekend approaching, the mausoleum job would be best for James. It wasn’t available in the paper so it was off to the cemetery.
James: It’s not a job. It’s an adventure. (for those not from the U.S. or those too young to remember, this is an old army recruiting ad)


Juliet reached level ten in alchemy and completed his lifetime wish – only about 40 to go for his supermax.


Everybody dance now!


Java felt a change coming on.


Ew.


No, that’s not much better.


Isla suddenly felt nauseated.


Apparently it wasn’t from her grandson’s table manners.


Zelda: I don’t care why she’s sick. Booga-booga!
It’s more effective if you actually sneak up behind them.


A quick gender count update: At this point Flip and Isla have 5 daughters and 5 sons with 13 granddaughters and 8 grandsons.

[KRae]

One fine afternoon, Isla went into labor out by the sunflowers. Flip, of course, was nearby playing in their beloved sprinkler.
Zelda had finally returned to work, but I swear I heard evil laughter coming from the direction of the theater.


Both Flip and Isla wished to have a daughter (Flip actually was hanging onto wishes for both genders). Still, they were delighted with their newest addition.


Kilo Khan-Doe immediately celebrated his toddler birthday. His traits are Heavy Sleeper and Loves the Outdoors.


Juliet has paid a lot more attention to his little brother than he ever did to his own kids.
Juliet: You know very well that it’s because I’ve completed all my requirements and you’re not forcing me to mass produce elixirs.


Another birthday….what are you wishing for Java.
Java: That this cake was a pile of tacos.


Java’s traits are Disciplined, Slob, Genius, and Friendly.
Now head out to the grocery store and get a job, ya little slacker, and come home for some tutoring. Your brother is going to complete his requirements tomorrow and time is wasting.




Kilo: It’s just you and me, Victor. It’s 2am and everyone’s asleep. Mom says they need to get me on a schedule, but Dad says why bother as I’ll be a Child sometime tomorrow.


Kilo: No! I don’t want a desk job!


With the all-important skill of learning to say “No” accomplished. Kilo had his birthday. He’s now an Angler.


Kilo: Yes, I am!


Kilo: I wish to Present the Perfect Private Aquarium.
Already?
Kilo: Hey, fish, you’re nowhere near perfect!


The next day, Java made the honor roll and was promoted at work. The family ran down the street to their new house. James was lagging behind as he was trying to complete his latest painting and hated to quit.


With ten children moved out, it’s time to recap their accomplishments.

Two thirds of the way through this project. Congratulations Krae.

[KRae]

Thanks, @Deklitch . I'm just now starting to notice an increase in loading time. I think it's been creeping up on me and has now hit my awareness threshold.

Kilo: Hurry, Watcher, take a picture.
But you’re just fishing again.
Kilo: I know. Isn’t it great!
Flip went along on this fishing trip, but repaired the sink and toilet in the men’s room and cleaned it too.
Your Neat watcher thanks you, Flip.
Flip: No prob.


Kilo: See it's after curfew, but I can fish from home. Take a picture.


You’re fishing again.
Kilo: I know, but I’m at the beach. Take a picture!


Flip, what are you doing?
Flip: Fishing for DNA.
*Watcher runs screaming*


The morning before his third straight “A” day at school, Kilo placed 13 perfect fish into bowls and proudly completed his lifetime wish. Thanks to Isla’s perfect produce, Kilo actually caught 7 of them himself. The rest were provided by Christopher many moons ago.


Flip and Isla carefully scooped the fish out and put them back into storage. If a spouse has that LTW later, it’ll be a big time saver.


When he got home from school, honor roll boy had his birthday.


Apparently Flip was not happy about sharing his hairstyle.


Kilo signed up for a job at the cemetery, but won’t be actually starting for a few days.
Kilo: More time for fishing!
Go home and get tutored.


This shark was Kilo’s twentieth type of fish. One challenge down, and now he only needs to catch about 270 more fish. *Watcher starts mumbling incoherently*


Kilo was on the honor roll before his first night at work and just barely missed getting his promotion on his second shift.
He caught his first deathfish when Flip joined him at the cemetery after work.
I forgot to mention, Kilo’s fourth trait is Natural Born Performer.
Kilo: What does a fisherman need with that! Hey, I suddenly feel a song coming on.

[PeregrineTook]

It's sensible to have a fisherman who is also a singer.  Because math  :=)

[Magpie2012]

Yup, its not like the singing will drive the fish away *tongue in cheek* or maybe the singing will soothe their savage hearts and lead them to the hook!

A suggested fish song for Kilo:

1, 2, 3, 4, 5,
Once I caught a fish alive
6, 7, 8, 9, 10
Then I let him go again

Why did you let him go?
'Cause he bit my finger, ow!
Which finger did he bite?
This little finger on my right!

[Malley]

Kilo is a good looking kid. Flip and Isla have some great genetics.

[KRae]

@PeregrineTook , It truly is due to math. The family has a stash of 63 liquid job boosters so the singer career so take less than a week. Even with consignment, reaching the top of the fishing career is time consuming and dull.

@Magpie2012 , I hope the second applies.

@Deklitch , Kilo wants to know if you know any sea chanteys.

@Malley , Kilo made a good looking teen. Some teens are so awkward looking, and all the grandkids are stuck in that stage.

Kilo continued fishing but never did catch the exotic Buster Clavell fish.


Before his last night as a cemetery worker, Kilo wanted to catch a few more goldfish. Everywhere he goes in town, he runs into extended family. The Arlo Bunch branch especially gets around.


After getting his promotion at work, Kilo went home to celebrate his birthday.


Kilo is now Irresistible and the proud owner of Kilo’s Karaoke.


Kilo joined the singing career.
Drink the green stuff, Kilo. Trust me on this.


Kilo went to the park to sing for tips and look for attractive women. At least Geoffrey Landgraab is a generous tipper.


He also has a very attractive wife who wants to get to know Kilo better.
No breaking up marriages, Kilo. Just complete the singing telegram.


The rest of the day Kilo ran around town doing singing telegrams…13 of them, I counted. This is some sort of record for me, perhaps because the town is so full. This one was to celebrate the completion of homework.


Kilo auditioned for a gig at Performance Park and stuck around looking for women. He mostly found married women and family members. He did find Judy Bunch very attractive, though. Half of Judy’s family disappeared long ago, including her husband. She is however in a relationship with Iqbal Alvi.
Arlo: Why is he asking what my mom’s sign is?


Isla, being a bit of a matchmaker, invited her friend, Emma Hatch, over.
Isla: Go answer the door, Kilo.


Kilo: Emma, will you be my girlfriend and stay above ground?
Emma: Yes, and I can’t promise anything, but I’ll try.


Kilo had his first performance the next day. He got good reviews from the audience. I’m sure it had nothing to do with them mostly being family.


That night the family got a new member named Jacgueline.


The next night, after a long day of singing telegrams, Kilo had a successful audition at Flying Foxtrot’s Coffeehouse. Emma met him there for a celebratory date.
Kilo: I’ve been working hard for 3 days on my career and I'm a level 8 singer. I would really love it if you would move in with me before all but the tips of your wings disappear below ground.
Emma: Can I buy recipe books?
Kilo: Of course.
Emma: Beat you home!


Emma joined the household and gave herself a makeover that consisted mostly of recombing her hair and toning down her makeup.


Note:
Spouse hunting has become more difficult. There’s still a lot of people in town, but so many are family, and many are married or in relationships. I’ve been hesitant to start cloning spouses because do I really need to raise more children? I realized that I don’t need to raise them so much as age them. I’ll be providing a list of Flip’s DNA samples and asking for your input.
