Is it just me? Or have others noticed too that World Renowned Surgeons seem to live longer?
I had a spouse of that profession in the Centauri Dynasty and she lived until the ripe age of 126.
This episode is full of wit and humour. Very clever and very enjoyable!  ;D

Great Update Rica! I honestly have no idea about what drama will unfurl next, although knowing the Grims it's going to be interesting and slightly insane.  ;)

Why Oh Why have I not posted in the near past (or at all?) I've been reading, I promise, but posting kind of... got lost.
ANYway, The Most Incredible plotline ever, so incredible that it requires capitalization to do it justice. Reka really freaks me out (mind you, so do IFs in general. It's purple or blue hair in human form, and the bauble on their head in toy form. *shudder*) and I really really really want to know where this is going. But of course, that's the good side to being about five pages behind when it comes to reading. No cliffhangers to contend with.
Congrats to Artie, Ares, Apollo, Angus and Amon on immortality. RIP to Alexander, Patricia, Buzz, Cheyenne, Dakota, Jules, Rosemary, Saffron, Adrianna, Tama, and to anyone else that I've missed, and to Mr. Bigglesworth, Bella, Baxtor, Bubba, Barkley, Beowulf, Bronte, Bridget and Alegra, and to paparazzi and people who died at parties. (Please please please please tell me that's everyone...) Loving Athena's colouring, laughing at the continuous cloning glitch and anticipating the next update eagerly! :)

Oh yeah, I remember what you said about Alegra meaning beautiful in Italian Rica, I don't do Italian but I do speak Latin, and Alegra sounds like Allegro, which means (to put it simply) fast - it's used in music. That's what I like to think the name means. :D

My brain is coming up with "joyful" for Allegro/a - yes, used to indicate a fairly quick tempo in music.

Rica: "Will you just do something funny so we can get your portrait done already?  I'm done being in tab mode."
Aker: "I'm not sure I want to do 'something funny' on command.  Hey do you smell something?" -makes a face-
Rica: "Perfect -- Ut oh. Hurry Hurry!"


Rica: "So close. " -sniffs-


Even though she was working with someone else - the whole family was shocked that a young life had been taken before their eyes and none of us were reponsible.


Aker: "My love.."
Rica: "Aww.  Don't be like that.  I'll be upset for being mad at her if you keep that up."


Reka: "I'm not ready to die!"
Reaper: "Then you should have jumped into the well faster."
Reka: "But but.."


Reaper: "Quit begging!"


Chester: "You people are not seriously getting all snotty over that doll, are you?"
Apollo: "She was part of the family."
Chester: "She was trying to destroy the family!"


Rica: That close.  I had her that close when the timer ran out.  New Death Achieved: Death by Butt Fire


Reaper: "C'mon C'mon!"
Rica: "Hey. You get away from that thing. "
Reaper: "Aww man.  Caught."


Athena: "The doll has passed.  They no longer have any real eyes amongst us now."
Sable Horse: "The threat is still very real.  We must remain vigilant."
Athena: "The cat seems to have a plan.  I'm not sure what our next move should be."
Sable Horse: "We know of the cat's plan and we will allow it because other matters are more important.  With their agent having been disposed of, even by accident, those who use technology will try to get revenge."
Athena: "They can try."


Chester: "Anita! I'm so glad you came.  There's an opening.. I mean there has been a tragedy at the house today.  I thought maybe you could cheer up our friend here."
Anita: "I'll try." -puts a soft hand on his shoulder- "Aker - I just want you to know that I'm here for you."


Aker: "I just can't believe she's gone."
Anita: "I know.  She was so young.  I'm younger though and the cat has asked me to move in.  What do you think about that?"
Aker: "I.. I .. I don't know what to think."
Rica: "Well first we're getting you something that doesn't have a bow on it."
Aker: "But I like this outfit."
Rica: "I'll find something else you'll like ok."


I found several somethings I think the guys should like.  I kept her hair and the color red even though she's a hot pink( ugh again).  I think it looks great on her.  She's one hot tamale huh?


Anita: "Hey I know the watcher wants me to paint but I was wondering if you wanted to get out of here and go hang out together on the beach."
Aker: "Like a date?"
Anita: "Sure why not."
Aker: "Oh.  Okay."

I can't believe Reka died! I really liked her. There's something sinister about Anita and I don't like her.

My two favorite lines from this installment - "Death by Butt Fire" and "the cat asked me to move in". Could only happen in the Grim household. RIP Reka, poor Aker. Not sure what to think about Anita - she is smoking hot though!

That was shocking!Reka... I now wish I understood the Grims/Dolls thing better. I never understood, how Reka was supposed to harm the family. She was an agent for "those who use technology"?
I hope your actual Grim sculptor has done his five pieces of metal, and won't have to use a torch ever again.

I once had a storyline from the view of observers that would watch over Sims families to try and manipulate them into doing what needed to be done.  Their power came from the technology they used which included their production of Imaginary Friend dolls.  Through IFs they were able to control to populace how they saw fit.    Those who are magical are what you could imagine they are - fairies, unicorns, etc.  They are born with magic in their blood and tend to live alongside Sims.  The watchers are the ones who guide Sims through faith (medieval) or other means to help live their fullest lives.  The Boss is the underside to all life.  Not necessarily what is evil but what is definitely the darker side of life.  Her minions are the Grims who usher Sims at the end of their lives to the next plane of existence.   There is probably more but it's 8 and I went to bed at 3 so yeah.  Basically, somewhere around the second attempt of Artie's Dynasty the other forces got involved because one of the "outsiders" was doing a dynasty.   The Tech users are always about taking the Sims for their own purposes no matter what the others think and the doll was their agent of evil.   While an agent of evil would normally fit right into the family, a hybrid of the two kinds obviously means something bad would have happened.  What would have happened?  Don't know yet - it's been averted for now.

Basically, somewhere around the second attempt of Artie's Dynasty the other forces got involved because one of the "outsiders" was doing a dynasty.

Thank you so much for explaining.
I never made time to read the earlier attempts. My bad... I must do so soon. :)

Wow, Reka died :'(
I always have a hard time "allowing" my sims to die... hardly ever happens... maybe that's why I haven't started a new dynasty yet. Having a young doll sim die seems even worse...
Cool story btw!
Problem? Don't panic! There is always a solution. You just have to find it  :D
