Dynasty Discovered
Awwww. Little Sam's first day at school!
Sam: Please don't embarrass me.
Well, your mum and dad both have their hands full with the twins, so somebody's got to do the soppy first day at school routine.
Sam: At least you can't give me a spit-wash, I s'pose.
Sam: Hi there Mr Bus Driver.
Bus Driver: SHUT UP! Stupid children. Thinking they have the right to make noise. Seriously.
Sam: Watcher! My Friendly trait still isn't working right!
Have you tried turning it off and on again?
Sam: I can't find his off button.
Not the bus driver!
Chris: Toddler skills, complete.
Emily: When I'm older, you're going to get this picture of me on a potty out and show it to potential boyfriends, aren't you?
Chris: I wasn't, no, but now you've given me the idea...
Emily: Curses.
Georgia: And if he doesn't, I will.
Sam: So, 3 + 3 = 6. What's 3 + 4?
Butler: I have no idea. I'm just here to fulfil the NPC friend requirement.
Sam: Maybe I'll go ask Emily.
Emily: Sam, what's school like?
Sam: There's really cool playground equipment outside, football at breaktime is amazing, and you get to go on fieldtrips to the graveyard!
Emily: But what about the lessons?
Sam: You're going to be one of those kids that actually likes to learn, aren't you? You're going to be such an embarrassing sister.
Chris: Birthday time!
Emily: I have changed my mind about being a scientist if you have to wear that. I think I'm going to be a doctor now.
I thought you wanted to be a teacher?
Emily: Or maybe I should do all three. And maybe a princess as well.
I think that's the mark of an Ambitious child.
Emily: Oh! I think I may need braces!
You definitely need a trip to the mirror, if nothing else.
Georgia: I'm up here! Aging up by myself! Again! I'm starting to feel unloved here.
I love you Georgia, even if your parents don't. Now, lets get you both to the mirror for your makeovers, because I don't trust you to age up with outfits that actually match.
Hang on a minute. Where's Agnes been all chapter?
Agnes: Hiding. Turns out that two toddlers is not all that much easier than three.
I think it's safe now dear. Now, I have something to tell you all. In the last chapter, I accidentally mentioned something to Chris.
Chris: OMG! EA has got us a dinosaur?
No, sorry. By getting together, Chris and Agnes, you've accidentally started a decadynasty. Luckily for my sanity, you two don't actually have to complete any requirements.
Agnes: I can see there's a catch here.
Indeed. Sam's the one that's got to.
Sam: Do any of them involve getting to drive a truck?
Erm, not specifically no. You've got to rise to the top of a career, master a skill including some challenges, get on the honour roll in school twice, complete ten opportunities and become an adult. You then get to find a woman, get married and have a kid.
Sam: Girls smell.
Emily: *punches* Boys smell.
There's a few other things that everyone in the family can help with. You've got to have 10 serviceperson friends and 10 best friends between you, buy a building and a property, and form a collection of 10 items. Oh, and there's another one, but I'll tell you that later.
Agnes: We really can't get away from dynasties can we?
Chris: It probably was too good to be true.
You know, I'm sorry.
Agnes: Pffft. So were some of the immortal dynasty founders.
Hey, look at it this way. At least you're popular. You have fans. Every day people read stories that feature one or both of you. Generations of sim-children will be brought up in awe of the wonders that were Chris and Agnes! People will name their pets after you!
Chris: We'll be like movie stars! Only better, because we don't actually have to do anything.
Agnes: Still angry.
Chris: I reckon a dinosaur would cheer her up.
Sam: I agree to do this, as long as I can have a job where I get to drive a truck. Or maybe an aeroplane. Or be a cowboy!
Emily? Georgia? How about you? Hang on, where even are you two?
Emily: Muuuuuummmmmm! Georgia's coloured my doll blue!
Agnes: It's really quite difficult to be grumpy when children interrupt. Maybe I should hide through the child stage too.
This was a fairly odd update, and not particularly funny. All the jokes I was getting off this set of pictures related to the DecaDynasty requirements, and so I decided to explain the dynasty to them so I can use the jokes in the future.
As a round-up, Agnes is currently a self-employed painter and is working on getting a collection of paintings together for Sam's collection. Chris is employed in the Science career and has changed his lifetime wish to Creature-Robot Cross Breeder. I couldn't be bothered with the aquarium one with all the kids to concentrate on. Sam, Emily and Georgia are obviously all in primary/grade school.
Next update promises to go back to (trying to be) funny. I'm finding this family incredibly easy to both write and play. I also really love how each kid has at least some features from both parents. Agnes and Chris' genetics seem to mesh really nicely.
