Flamingos And Llamas And Gnomes Oh My!

(Some of my posts are flagged as mature content, but be assured, there is no nudity, gore or substance abuse featured in any of them. Sims kissing in their undies... yes) I've decided to start a Sims 4 legacy with rules of my own making. It's gonna be difficult.

✮ Settling In ✮

We return to Zehra doing laps in the pool. This is where she spends most of her time and it's very boring.

Atreo isn't much more interesting tbf. He's busy getting a headstart on his university assignments/coursework. Thankfully his many scholarships mean he has no fees to pay.

This is a relief as he had no money left after buying the lot. Zehra brought the allowed 20,000 simoleons with her when she moved in, which was enough to kit out the house... Well, almost.

After a short 'cultural' visit to the Von Haunt Estate, Zehra is feeling pretty exhilarated from all her 'art collecting'.

Zehra: "What can I say? I'm an art connoisseur."

No. No, you're not. But I was able to finish decorating the house thanks to your kleptomania.

This absolutely riveting chapter continues with Atreo having completed his first term paper. Now he will thrillingly edit it until it's of outstanding quality! This is content!

Zehra: "Wow, this is one heavy pizza. Using four whole pineapples was possibly too much..."

You freak Zehra. Pineapple on pizza. Unforgivable.

Zehra: "Mmm, it smells like Sulani... I miss Sulani."

Zehra: "Hopefully all this pineapple will settle my stomach. Who knew pregnancy would be so... squirmy."

Atreo: "OMW, OMW! It's a fox! Please be my acquaintance! I'll give you anything, I'll give you everything!"

It takes a piece of gross pineapple pizza which turns into a... Granola bar?

Zehra: "So I just threw up everywhere. All over myself. That's why I've had to change-"

Atreo: "Zehra can you not? I'm trying to eat this terrible pizza. It's so wet... seriously, is any of this cheese?"

Zehra: "Who needs cheese when you have pineapples? Also, don't watch the news."

Atreo: "...Ooookkk."

Zehra: "Ohhhh PlumbBob, that's a lot of sirens heading this way, wait... Is that an ambulance and a fire truck? Thank the Watcher, it's just a house fire 2 lots down."

Zehra: "I can't help but feel paranoid, even though that isn't one of my traits. I can't go to jail for slaying 58 vampires, right? Or stealing- I mean collecting, thousands of simoleons worth of artwork..."

Atreo: "Well, that was a productive 7 hours of work. I managed to complete all of my assignments and edit and submit my term paper, all before my first class. I can't remember ever feeling this tired before."

Oh, Atreo just you wait for your (hopefully) multiple babies to arrive...

Zehra: "Lying here watching you fall asleep brings back so many memories. But cuddling like this is way better than hiding in the shadows of your room."

Atreo: "You're being creepy again."

Zehra: "You love it though!"

Atreo: "No, I do not. Sleep now please."

Atreo confidently heads off to his first day of university class, very well prepared. All that debating himself in the mirror really paid off.

Meanwhile, Zehra has made an appointment for an ultrasound scan and told the obstetrician that she wants a natural birth. Brave. She did also try to bribe/threaten them into saying she is having at least twins. They hung up.

Zehra: "Please, please, please be more than one baby! I feel like I'm losing Atreo already. He's never once said that he loves me..."

*phone rings*

Hatice: "Hey honey it's Mom!"

Zehra: "Oh, hey! What a timely distraction from my anxiety!"

Hatice: "When are you going to come visit? I put all my love and effort into raising you. You can at least drop by once in a while and tell your dear Mommy you love her, can't you?"

Zehra: "Well, I haven't seen you since I was a teenager, so I suppose I should. I'll visit you tomorrow."

Hatice: "Okay then, I hope we see you though!"

Atreo: "I think I did well in class today, but that's not a surprise considering I already did all my assignments and my essay way in advance. I'm certain I'll keep this up once I'm a dad, like, how hard can parenthood be?"

Zehra: "You're home, my love! My mom invited me over, or rather guilt-tripped me into visiting tomorrow. Do you want to come too? It's the weekend, so you don't have classes."

Atreo: "Yeah, sure, why not. Does she know she's going to be a grandparent yet?"

Zehra: "No, and I don't think she'll take it very well. My dad certainly won't. They said that having us triplets devastated them and ruined their lives, making them empty husks of broken hopes and wasted potential. Ugh, sorry, childhood trauma."

Atreo: "Oh, Zehra, and you're willing to take that risk for me and my bizarrely specific dreams. It makes me feel... So close to you."

Atreo: "I love you Zehra."

Zehra: "I love you too! I love you so much! Oh my Watcher, what a relief. I was just about to get super intense and scared about you not loving me."

Atreo: "That's ridiculous. Why would you ever think that I don't?"

Zehra: "I guess it was your whole attitude towards me and everything you've ever said to me, before 2 days ago..."

Atreo: "Ah, no! That makes me feel really guilty. Time to distract you with kisses!"

*making out ensues*

And those kisses soon become so distracting that I need to cut away, before this becomes potentially too mature again...

After some extremely wicked and detailed animations, Zehra understandably passes out in the pool. Atreo, on the other hand, uses the remainder of his energy bar to start his Animal Behaviour presentation.

Atreo: "-and this research will show why we should not rely on mice and instead use foxes to determine everything... You know, for psychology!"

🦩My YouTube Channel 🎥

I've started converting my legacy into some kind of text-to-speech slideshow, storybook, format... thing... I dunno. It's silly and has little to no point, but I am doing it anyway. Why? Dissociation! Now don't go thinking I'm any kind of skilled video maker (I use ClipChamp to edit stuff because it came free with my laptop). All I know is that my legacy is created purely for fun, almost entirely for myself, and I find joy in giving the Sims in it monotone, AI voices. It makes me chuckle, for I am a simple being. Anyway, if that sounds even remotely appealing, then do check out my YouTube channel. You could even subscribe, if you're feeling charitable. It's up to you. I can't dictate anything you do, for you are not my Sims. (๑′ᴗ‵๑) ♡

✮ The Begetting ✮

Atreo: "Oh my Watcher, you're so appealing to me, my heart is basically stopping, it's a good thing we can't die from flirtiness."

Zehra: "I can't believe you're saying this. All these years, it's been: stop going through my trash, get out of my bathroom, quit hiding under my bed-"

Atreo: "Not anymore."

*make-out noises intensify*

Zehra: "Oh, Atreo, I didn't know these make-out animations existed."

Atreo: "Mmm, they must be downloaded."

Zehra: " Does this mean..."

Atreo: "We're going to fulfill some wicked whims."

Zehra: "I'm so nervous but SO ready. I love you Atreo-"

*suddenly transported to Midtown Meadows Spa in Newcrest*

Zehra and Atreo: "What the Watcher?!"

Atreo: "I really thought we were going to-"

Zehra: "I really hoped we were going to-"

Not on my watch! It's not that kind of legacy. I've already had to mark this chapter as mature because of all their steamy interactions, just to be safe. We don't have time to waste; they have a challenge to complete.

Atreo: "This is so awkward, look at me. I'm shirtless and all sweaty... Is that normal?"

Zehra: "And I'm in my underwear in public, how mortifying. Do you know why the Watcher did this?"

Atreo: "Because they suck, but also erm... You know that I need to conceive the next heir within two days... I think... I kinda have the feeling... That we need to have... multiples."

Zehra: "Oh. Because they have to battle for the title, and we won't be able to convince a 2nd baby within that time?"

Atreo: "Exactly. I'm sorry... I can't remember telling you about the battle thing though, did the Watcher speak to you again?"

Zehra: "You talk in your sleep... Ah, what the heck, let's do it, I mean, I'm already a mermaid. Seriously, Atreo, I will go so far for you. Do anything, slay anyone-"

Atreo: "Perfect!"

Mei: "So after Summer got me fired from the school for constantly looking at pictures of foxes-"

Atreo: "OMW! I don't care! Just give me a massage!"

Mei: "You are so rude! You WILL let me talk about foxes!"

Zehra: "Okay, I need you to give me a massage that makes me like crazy fertile. If you fail, this entire generation is pretty much doomed... that cool with you?"

Jules: "As a Sim who has just acquired the massage skill, I will... try?"

Jules: "You have a lot of tension in your, erm, scars."

Zehra: "Yeah, I was a scout since childhood... I think this is working; my blood is boiling in a very viral way."

Mei: "And my 12th favourite thing about foxes is they have little cute noses."

Atreo: "Ugh, these aren't even fox facts! I like foxes, you're ruining them for me!"

Zehra: "What's cooking, good looking? It-It's me. My blood is boiling, apparently. No better time to get me pregnant!"

Atreo: "Before I absolutely try to do that, I feel we need to make this official. Will you be my romantic partner?"

Zehra: "You don't have to feel like we should rush into anything, but yes! Of course!"

Atreo: "Let's celebrate by becoming very young parents, on our very first woohoo."

*smooching*

Atreo: "I don't know what it is about this sauna, but I feel like I've been here before."

Zehra: "It is so hot, can we please do this before my fertility moodlet runs out and I die from overheating?"

*steamy smooching*

I didn't mean for this to be the heir conception sauna, but I seem to have inadvertently made this a tradition now.

And I am crossing absolutely everything in the hopes that this gives them at least twins. Come on, Atreo, be useful for something!

*30 sims minutes later*

Zehra: (gasps) I finally did it. He's mine forever!

Atreo: "Well? Well, well, well, well, well?! Are you? Did we do it? Or do we need to try again? I'm VERY okay with that, I-I mean if we have to..."

Zehra: "We don't need to, my love! I'm VERY pregnant! I mean, you can sort of just tell by looking at me, my stomach already popped."

Atreo: "Ah! This is amazing! Wow, we are just THAT good!"

Yeah, well, they both have the fertile trait, trying for a baby on a layline lot after a fertility massage. It REALLY needs to be twins, I don't want to think about how else I'm going to complete this challenge!

Zehra: "There's a part of you growing inside me, feeding off me. It can take all of me, because it's part of you."

Atreo: "That's... one way to... describe pregnancy."

Zehra: "I'm just so happy!"

Atreo: "Yeah, so am I."

That's right, Atreo, keep ignoring these red flags.

Alejandro: "Well this is the last of your decorative moving boxes... I guess it's time to say goodbye?"

Atreo: "Yeah I guess. Thanks for helping me move. Before you go, is there a chance I could get my inheritance?"

Alejandro: "Wow that's pretty shameless."

Atreo: "It's my new trait. So can I?"

Alejandro: "Mijo, you've really upset Acco and your mother is still talking about it. By which I mean she hasn't left the fox sanctuary and they are still filming her speech."

Atreo: "Ugh, you too? I'm sick of you all defending Acco! I'm not going to apologise. You know what Acco did to me. He deserves to get eaten by a cow plant or crushed by a vending machine."

Alejandro: "Oh mijo, I know you're angry, but that's such a horrible thing to say, he's your little brother."

Atreo: "Exactly, so he should have known better than to start dating Kiry!"

Alejandro: "What if we have a family meal together and talk things over? I know we can fix these hurt sentiments."

Atreo: "I'm too busy. You don't understand the pressure I'm under! I just enrolled in university, and I need to have a baby with a mermaid as soon as possible. Oh, and I just realised I need to complete a void critter collection."

Alejandro: *sigh* "You're just like your mother, following the Watcher's will... Your mum never got any help so here, have your inheritance. Start your very random life Atreo, I hope you find happiness."

Atreo: "Thanks."

Atreo: "Yes! 50,000 simoleons! I can officially buy this house now and go inside it."

Alejandro: "... It's getting late. I should be heading home. It would be nice if you would come and visit us sometimes. You're always welcome."

Atreo: "I know, I have the 'always welcome' trait."

Alejandro: "I think you know that's not what I meant. Please consider it, mijo. I love you."

Atreo: "...I'll think about it."

Alejandro: "Goodnight son."

Alejandro sadly walks away to the disturbing chorus of the wild foxes shrieking repetitively into the desert night.

Atreo: "Hmm. I know I'm shameless, but I'm starting to feel a little gu-"

Zehra: *appears suddenly* "Atreo! I have an amazing surprise for you!"

Atreo: "Gah, Zehra! Where have you been, my strictly platonic bestie? I already showered; it was weird not having to kick you out of the bathroom beforehand."

Zehra: "I know, I'm sorry. But this surprise is gonna make up for it. I just know you'll love it!"

Zehra: "So right after I left the dungeon, basement... thing, I was listening to the voice in my head, not the ones that tell me to dress in paint-splattered tank tops and sleep on park benches, but the loud otherworldly one- Oh, I'm rambling, I'll ruin it, please just let me show you!"

Atreo: "Okay, I guess I trust you bestie."

Zehra: "I have a feeling once you see my surprise, you'll never call me bestie again."

Atreo: "Why? You don't like bestie? What should I call you then? BFF? Mate? Amigo? I need a term to emphasise how we are best friends and absolutely nothing else."

Zehra: *whines in heartbroken agony* "Just ignore that, I do it when I'm excited. Let's move on, I need water. A lot of water for my surprise."

Atreo: "I have a pool... Are you sure I'm going to like this surprise?"

Zehra: "Haha, if you don't, I'll raze this neighbourhood to the ground and tear my way out of this reality to punch the Watcher in the face."

Atreo: "Uh..."

Atreo: "Hey, did your hair get longer?"

Zehra: "Yeah, yeah, it's apparently all part of what I'm gonna show you. Ah, this pool is amazing! It'll make things so much easier. You really shouldn't swim, though. Not with where I put your tracker."

Atreo: "Thanks for the warning? But wait, I have baths all the time-"

Zehra: "Don't worry about it, now watch!"

Zehra: "Here I goooo!"

Atreo: "You're jumping in with your everyday clothes on?! How is that even possible?! Was this the surprise?"

Atreo: "Is...Is that a tail. A mermaid tail... OMW I SEE A MERMAID TAIL!!"

Atreo: "Uuuuuuh..."

Zehra: "Sooo, what do you think?"

Atreo: "Uuuuuuh... I-I... Uhhhhh... y-you... t-tail..."

Zehra: "Do you like it? I did this for you, my love. I will be whatever you need me to be. I'll do whatever you need me to do. Because I love you. Obsessively. Ever since we were kids, and I saw how amazing you were at bowling, and how you beat Esma at that arcade game, no matter what she or the scoreboard said."

Atreo: "Z-Zehra... I want your babies. I-I mean, I want you to have my babies... P-please?"

A couple of hours later at the opening of the Oasis Springs Fox Sanctuary... (so random, I know, please bear with me, I'm doing my best with the rolls Atreo got 😅)

Atreo: "OMW, there are SO many sims here. Who knew people love foxes as much as I do?"

Paparazzi: "Mrs Atherstone, over here! How do you feel about foxes?"

Brielle: "Okay, everyone, if we can all just remain orderly, I know how much you all wanted this sanctuary. Let's take a deep breath and head over to the podium so I can officially start the opening."

Travis: "This is such a good day. Watcher knows, we needed this fox sanctuary."

Mei: "Foxes are my greatest source of joy!"

Brielle: "Welcome, everyone! As your National Leader, I am happy to declare this new Fox Sanctuary open!"

Audience: "Yay! Finally!"

Brielle: "Yes, yes, finally. But whilst I've got your attention, what can I do about my eldest son not living up to my expectations? Where did I go wrong? The cameras are still rolling so let me quickly share my life story..."

Atreo: " Ughhh Mum... Where are all the darn foxes at?"

Atreo: "Seriously, where are they all?! I've been looking for a full hour. What kind of lame fox sanctuary is this? I want to see some foxes! I've never seen one before!"

Atreo: *gasp* "Is that..?"

Fox: *definitely not cute screeching*

Atreo: "Oh... my... Watcher... it's so majestic!"

Atreo: "That's it wise fox, sniff my hand. Do you have any words of wisdom for me?"

Fox: *ear splitting chitters*

Atreo: "Ah. I see. Unlike the cats, I cannot understand you."

Atreo: "Huh, where are you going? Are you running away from me? No, I can't deal with that kind of rejection!"

Fox: *high pitched screech*

Atreo: "Should I follow you further into the desert? That's how I'm choosing to interpret you."

One neighbourhood travel later...

Atreo: "Wow wise fox friend, this neighbourhood feels like home to me."

Emily: "Damn it, I can't believe my sale just fell through. Why don't any celebrities want to live on this large eco lot? Is it because it's a vampire nexus and it attracts loads of wild foxes from the nearby fox sanctuary?"

Atreo: "Hi there, did I just hear you say this house is still for sale?"

Emily: "OMW Atreo? I haven't seen you since high school!"

Atreo: "Do I... know you?"

Emily: "You're joking, right? I'm Emily, we dated! You took me to that creepy shack in Moonwood Mill. I thought you were going to end me, but we had a legendary date and messed around."

Atreo: "Sorry, I sorta did that with nearly all the girls in school, so that doesn't help narrow it down."

Emily: "Hm. I thought perhaps we could rekindle things, but yeah, never mind. What do you want?"

Atreo: "To check out this house. It sounds amazing and specifically tailored to me!"

Emily: "Yeah, I guess you can. It's why the sign is here and why I'm dressed like this, working in a career that doesn't exist. I'll show you around."

Atreo: "Awesome!"

Emily: "As you can see it's really small and totally empty!"

Atreo: "Yeah... it's... Minimalist!"

Emily: "Ha! You're better at selling this house than I am."

Atreo: "Let's say that I'm lucky enough to marry a beautiful mermaid. Would she be able to live here with me, in the middle of the desert, without drying out?"

Emily: "I got you! Ta-da! It comes with a pool!"

Atreo: *gasp* "It's perfect! And if my children are mermaids they can swim here too!"

Emily: "Yeah, it's great for your hypothetical mermaid family... Can you just buy it please?"

Atreo: "Yes yes yes! I'll take it!"

Emily: "Wonderful! And you really don't mind that it's listed as a celebrity home?"

Atreo: "Nah, it's cool, I'm shameless."

Emily: (mutters) "You sure are..."

In Sulani...

Zehra: (panting) "I can't believe I ran all the way here. Just a cheek kiss... JUST A CHEEK KISS!? I need to become a mermaid, darn it!"

Zehra: "Ugh, it's so humid, and my boots are full of sand and vampire ashes."

Eerie voice: (calling out from the cave) "Zehraaaaaa, enter me to become a mermaid Zehra..."

Zehra: "Duh! That's why I'm here. Atreo and I are NOT going to be platonic best friends. I'd rather die in this weird cave than accept that!"

Eerie voice: "Enter me to become a mermaid, Zehra..."

Zehra: "I know! Shut up, I am! I have full confidence that this will work."

~one cave exploration later~

Zehra: "Hehe, I knew I could do it! Hmm, this thing smells like sweaty fish butt... Oh well, for love." *bites*

Zehra: "Uh... Something feels like it's changing... Deep inside me... This better be working- Uh, what if it turns me into a NOT hot mermaid?!"

*magical wooshing*

Zehra: "Gahhh, this is all happening way faster than it should be! Uck, the water's salty!"

*transformation spray dissipates*

Zehra: "Oooohh wow... That hurt a LOT!"

✮Fallouts & Foxes✮

Back in Newcrest at the Atherstone family home...

*sad sound of party balloons slowly deflating*

Brielle: (sigh) "Where is he? He must have aged into a young adult at least an hour ago. Oddly, around the same time I began feeling fully accomplished and satisfied with my existence. The Watcher can't let anything happen to him, right? She needs him... Right??"

Brielle: "Thank the Watcher! He's finally home! I almost thought he was Don Lothario for a second, which is weird, because he's never looked like that in this save."

Brielle: "Atreo! You've aged up, right? You missed your birthday party! How many sad moodlets do you have? What are your generational rolls? I was so scared you'd got the paranoid trait and retreated into a secret underground bunker, and that we'd never see you again!"

Atreo: "Whoa, mum, chill! I'm fine. My moodlets are good. I kinda got sim-napped and imprisoned by an old lady vampire, but Zehra got me out... Eventually. She had a cake with her, so I used that to age up."

Brielle: "You got sim-napped?! That's where you've been for the past 2 days?! I thought you were skilling on the hack lot in preparation for today! How can you be so calm about being sim-napped! It wasn't the fake nanny, was it-?"

Atreo: "Nooo, an older vampire lady with short white hair, that's sometimes grey, it depends which lot she's on. She apparently killed Lily Feng, and she hated my old scout leader, for some reason."

Brielle: "What?! She killed Lily Feng?! How do you know?"

Atreo: "She told me whilst we were waiting for Zehra to arrive. That's why she took me, to lure her into a trap. It failed, though. Zehra totally slayed every vampire in that world to save me... Except for the old vampire lady, she ran off."

Brielle: "And you're so relaxed about this because..?"

Atreo: "Not sure, I mean, it was terrifying at the time. Looking back on it now, I'm fine being surrounded by loads of vampires. I don't mean that I like them or anything. Unlike mermaids. OMW I love mermaids!"

Brielle: "You... Do? Oh.... Ooohhhhh! I see. Have you realised some new things about yourself after you aged up?"

Atreo: "Yeah, quite a lot. I need to enrol in university as soon as possible. Glad you talked me into applying so fast. I'm going to study psychology. I've been the victim of many crimes, so I've decided to pursue a job in law enforcement. I can't think of any other reason I'd want to do that."

Brielle: "Well, happy belated birthday, honey! You've gotten so big- erm, actually, you're about the same size as before. But congratulations on becoming the head of the family! Now you're finally home, you can make up with Acco, then we'll get you ready to move out-"

Atreo: "Er, no. Not happening. Why would I ever make up with Acco? He steals everything from me. My birthday, my chance at a carefree, non-heir life and now my best friend! Kiry was all I had left to lose, and he went and seduced him behind my back. Great, NOW I have a sad moodlet."

Brielle: "But Acco told you about his relationship with Kiry. More than once. It was never a secret-"

Atreo: "It doesn't matter, they shouldn't be dating!"

Brielle: "Why? You weren't dating Kiry, were you?"

Atreo: "Ew no! He was my best friend! Since toddlerhood! Doesn't that mean anything?"

Brielle: "Of course it does! But you shouldn't be this angry about him dating your brother. They love each other."

Atreo: "So what? They shouldn't be dating anyone! This legacy is supposed to be about me! It's my story now!"

Brielle: "What?! Did you get the self-absorbed trait or something?"

Atreo: "No, I'm idealistic!"

Brielle: "Are you sure about that? Don't you care that Acco has been crying about how you reacted, non-stop, in his room for 2 whole days!"

Acco: (sobs) "I-I did tell him, Papi."

Alejandro: "You did tell him, I know. Can you please try to drink some water? You've not stopped crying since the party. You're dangerously dehydrated, sweetie."

Acco: (sobs) "I-I'm sorry. I-I can't stop. It just h-hurts so much, knowing that Atreo h-hates me again..."

Alejandro: "All your friends are really worried about you. Especially Kiry and... Is it Oynx now?"

Acco: (sobs) "Y-Yeah... I t-think."

Alejandro: "We're all worried about you... And we're running out of decorative tissues."

Atreo: "Why would I care about that? None of you cared that I was AWOL for 2 days!"

Brielle: "I told you, I thought you were skilling and needed some time to cool down! Acco is your little brother! All he's ever wanted is for you to like him!"

Atreo: "Apparently not! He also wanted MY best friend! Acco is nothing to me now. He's just a spare."

Brielle: "I can't believe you turned out this way. I had such high ambitions for you. I think I'm about to have a self-discovery and become gloomy."

Atreo: "Like that matters, mum! You aren't the main character anymore."

Brielle: "I may not be the focus of this legacy, but I am still the founder of it, and I am still your mother! You are burning all your bridges, Atreo, and you didn't even wait until after I'd gifted you your 50,000 inheritance!"

Atreo: "I don't want your money!"

Brielle: "No, you NEED it, llama brain! You won't have any money to buy a lot of your own to continue the legacy! Ugh, I'm getting a tense moodlet from all this generational drama. I need to deliver a speech at the opening of Oasis Springs' new fox sanctuary in a couple of hours."

Atreo: "A fox sanctuary?"

Brielle: "Yeah, there was a neighbourhood initiative vote to repurpose the park as a fox sanctuary for some reason. And now I'm gonna have to brush my teeth and psych myself up, so I'm in the right mood to give my speech-"

Atreo: "I actually find that kinda interesting. Can I go with you?"

Brielle: "Excuse me? You're interested in my work as the leader of the Simnation?"

Atreo: "Nooo, I'm interested in foxes and the desert. I want to work in law enforcement, remember. That has nothing to do with politics."

Brielle: "Errrrr..."

Atreo: "So... Can I come?"

Brielle: "I am very unhappy with you right now... But I can't exactly stop you from travelling with me, can I?"

Atreo: "Nope. Now, if you're done demonstrating your blatant child favouritism, I'm going to go change my entire wardrobe before we leave."

Brielle: "Eh?! I've never used the 'you're my favourite' social interaction on anyone!"

Zehra: "There we go, all ready for you. Remember to wish for good generationinal rolls!"

Atreo: "O-okay, here goes. Please Watcher, no more curses or cats." *blows out candles*

Zehra: (mutters) "And remember our deal Watcher."

Atreo: "What was that?"

Zehra: "Oh nothing, just talking to the many voices in my head. So erratic!"

Zehra: "Woo! Oh-OH! It's blinding! How did you not see me do this?"

Atreo: "Gah, my body is twisting so awkwardly. I keep forgetting how weird this feels!"

Atreo: "I... Feel... Idealistic? And responsible and well-mannered, come to think of it. Also, I'm pretty sure I'll be a quick learner from now on. I really want to live somewhere hot, too. Like, desert hot."

Zehra: "Ah! That's great! Congratulations on all your new self-discoveries."

Atreo: "Thanks, Zehra, you're the only one that's ever supported me so... Obsessively. But you've always been there for me. Mostly when I've gone to use the toilet or the shower. You know what? We should be best friends!"

Zehra; "Oh. y-yay! That's totally what I wanted."

Atreo: "And now we're best friends, I can confide in you about how massively attracted to mermaids I am. I'd actually forgotten they existed until I thought about how attractive they are just a second ago! I mean, it's weird, right? Cos I want to live in the desert, and that's the worst place for a mermaid."

Zehra: "O-oh... Okay. That's... Cool. Is there anything else you've recently realised?"

Atreo: "That I'm ready to be a father. Like immediately, to a mermaid's baby specifically. Whilst completing a degree. In my desert eco home. Which is a celeb home, because I might be one one day, who knows? And obviously it needs to be crawling with vampires, like on some kind of... nexus. I think this whole experience just made me feel alive, and I want more of it?"

Zehra: "Errr... I-I mean, I guess they'd all burn up really fast in the blazing desert sun. So that's good and makes sense?"

Atreo: "What wonderful logical thinking Zehra. That perfectly justifies everything I just said and feel. This is why we're best friends now."

Zehra: "Just a thought, but won't living in a celeb home make you feel a bit like a poser?"

Atreo: "Nope, I'm shameless."

Zehra: "You are?"

Atreo: "Yeah, since like 30 seconds ago!"

Zehra: "I see... Then I guess my only other question is where you are meeting a mermaid in the desert?"

Atreo: "Yeah, that might be a problem... Ah, but just thinking about mermaids is making me super flirty."

Zehra: "Oh? How flirty?"

Atreo: "Like if there was a mermaid right in front of me I would just kiss her. Straight up. No hesitation. I wouldn't care what her traits were or anything."

Zehra: "Hmm."

Zehra: "On that note, we should probably get out of here. Arnessa might come back, and I bet those 58 vampire ghosts are going to be pretty angry when they manifest. Plus, we're busy Sims. Lots of stuff to do... And acquire."

Atreo: "Wait, before we travel out of here, I just want to tell you that I really am grateful for everything Zehra. You are such a special... Best friend."

Atreo: *Thankful platonic cheek kiss*

Zehra: *internal frustrated screaming*

Zehra: "Hahaha, that wasn't enough! I-I mean, I need to go change... M-my clothes! I'm still dressed like Sims 2 Cassandra Goth! See ya!"

Zehra: *sprints away*

Atreo: "Bye? I'll see you the next time I go to shower, maybe?"

Zehra: "YEP!"

Atreo: "This cake is... Really good. Even with the specks of vampire ash in it... I suppose I should go home to my sucky family, who didn't even send anyone to come find me for 2 days."

Meanwhile, Grimm was quietly reaping the vampire souls in the background. He continued working long after Atreo left the basement.

Grimm: "20 down, 38 to go... Ugghhhh."

✯Ashes to Ashes✯

~Int- Chief of Police's Office- Day~

It's a bleak, foggy morning. The coos- no shrieks- of the low-res pigeons echo along the sepiatone streets, outside the office of one Atreo Atherstone, Chief of Police. His mood: morose. His appearance: grizzled and missing an eye for reasons. Mysterious, brooding reasons.

Old Atreo: "How long has it been, Watcher? How long since you forsook us? 100 sim days? 120?"

It's been 3 years, actually. Embarrassing, I know. Life was too hectic, and free time too scarce. Not that it's any better now, but damn it, I need a distraction again! Anyway, let's continue torturing Atreo.

T-posing Police Staff: "Remember, Atreo. Remember that you suck and are still cursed. Let the trauma inflict detailed flashbacks for storytelling purposes."

Old Atreo: "No Watcher, please! I have so many regrets. I've loved and lost. Survived gnome-a-geddon! Don't make me re-visit my past, filled with intrigue and drama."

I haven't talked to him in three years. I'm not planning to start now.

Old Atreo: "Please... I don't want to go back. My memories are just a graveyard of people who deserved better than to know me."

˖.𖥔˖ ⊹ Mystical Flashback Chimes ⊹ ˖ ݁𖥔.˖

~102 sim days ago~

Arnessa: (in background) "Welp, I've stood and watched this fight for 2 days. I'm out. Let me just grab my favourite enemy urn and... bye!"

Atreo: "I can't watch any more of this! My eyes are stinging from all the dead vampire ash in the air."

Zehra: "Just hang on, I'm almost done with the slaying... I hope."

Vampire 56: "Gah! Y-you staked me in the stomach!?"

Zehra: "I'm tired, okay? Just die!"

Atreo: "You've got this, Zehra! I know you can do it. I'm not gonna lie, though, I got pretty worried between vampires 32 through 45. But once you chugged that 4th moodlet solver, you really rallied."

Zehra: "Ugh, my wrist is really freaking sore."

Vampire 57: "Y-you... s-should soak it for a few hours-" *becomes a pile of ash*

Vampire 58: "Although I have seen many, many, MANY of my kind die to your stakes, I have the self-assured trait, so I'm going to fly at you with full confidence! Bleh, bleh, bleh!"

Zehra: *tackles* Aaaaarrrrggghhh!

Vampire 58: "Oof! I refuse to accept that this was an obvious mistake on my part!"

Atreo: "You'd think I'd be used to seeing all this violence after 2 whole days of it. Just like you'd think I'd remember how I got in this cage."

Vampire 58: "Erm... Is it too late to beg for my life?"

Zehra: "I mean, I won't stop you, but it is too late to cancel this action."

Vampire 58: "No, I get it. I was so confident before; it would be silly to start begging now. Ah, well. Vampire ghost it is. It's not like death has a meaning for us anymore."

Atreo: "Is it finally over? Can I go find a toilet and eat something other than popcorn? Oddly accommodating of them to put a popcorn machine and a comfy chair in the cage with me anyway... Are you okay, Zehra? By the Watcher that was... long."

Zehra: *coughs on copious vampire ashes* Yep... Give me a minute... I'll get you out... Should have asked the watcher to download a dust mask."

Zehra: *unlocks cage* "I am SO sorry for the wait, I'm usually faster at this, but I had some juice at Kiry's party, and it made me all sluggish."

Atreo: "You're... faster at this? There were at least 50 of them-"

Zehra: *coughs* "58."

Atreo: "Okay, gonna ignore those concerning implications- Oh my Watcher Zehra! Are you a young adult now?!"

Zehra: "Oh... yeah I am! I must have aged up during the fight, but my sad missed birthday moodlet got cancelled out by all the moodlet solvers."

Atreo: "You did drink a lot of moodlet solvers. I guess I didn't see the ageing up sparkles past all the dust... How many reward points did you have?!"

Zehra: "I've completed like 20 discovery quests. I think there was a glitch that kept making them regenerate over and over. Gave me a ton of points and potions though."

Atreo: "Well, I'm an hour away from ageing up too, and I just used my last moodlet solver to keep from wetting myself. I don't know what'll be sadder, growing up without a cake or dressed as Sims 2 Don Lothario."

Zehra: "OMW! I totally forgot about your birthday! That's unforgivable! I spent most of my life preparing for this moment. I feel dizzy from shame... And dust."

Atreo: "Also ignoring that, mostly because you just saved me from 50+ vampires."

Zehra: "58."

Atreo: "Yep. Also... I'm kinda getting terrified about what my generation rolls will be."

Zehra: "Ah! I just remembered I have a cake!"

Atreo: "Wha- Huh?! Where did you even get that? And it's fresh? How?!"

Zehra: "Oh, Atreo, don't ask questions you don't want the answers to. I'm quirky! Or erratic. Tomato tomato."

Atreo: "I am grateful. You saved my life... I think? Not sure what they were going to do with me if their plan had worked and they'd 'eliminated' you?"

Zehra: "Probably turned you into a vampire. Don't fret about that; it's over now. I massacred them. Let me quickly conjure some candles so you can age up content and appreciated."

I'll be back... Maybe

It's time, lovely Tumblr fam. I actually got way busier than I ever thought I would during the final week of term, so I have had to post all I intended to 4 days later than I said I would. I apologize. Anyway, I wish you the best as I attempt to survive the summer (I sound dramatic, but this time of year, I get so run down that I have previously found myself in a very dark place). See you all... Eventually... Maybe.

[gnomeyflamingo]

Acco and Kiry: *smooching noises*

Atreo: “AH! W-WHAT?! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?! WHAT’S HAPPENING?!”

Atreo: “YOU’RE KISSING?! HOW COULD YOU?! MY BROTHER AND MY BEST FRIEND?!!?!”

Kiry: “Uhm… This is mortifying.”

Acco: “Omw, he really has been ignoring me for months.”

Atreo: “I CAN’T BELIEVE IT. I EVEN MADE A FRIENDSHIP BRACELET FOR YOUR BIRTHDAY AND THEN YOU GO AND BETRAY ME!”

Kiry: “Please stop screaming.”

Acco: “Er, how am I betraying you?! Also by the gnomes, I already told you about Kiry and me so many times!"

Atreo: “YOU ALWAYS STEAL WHAT’S MINE, YOU ALWAYS RUIN EVERYTHING!”

Kiry: “Atreo calm down, you’re not making any sense.”

Acco: “You haven't changed one bit. I thought after the whole fake nanny ordeal you realized-"

Atreo: "SHUT UP!"

Atreo: “I HATE YOU! I WISH WE COULD HAVE BATTLED TO THE DEATH INSTEAD OF AN EGG-FINDING COMPETITION!"

Kiry: "Atreo please-"

Acco: "Why are you so angry?! Kiry and I are in love, we're dating. Why can't you just be happy for us?"

Atreo: "I'll never be happy for you Acco, you're the spare, your life is a dream! You’ve stolen my best friend and now you get to date him, without having to fulfill a stupid aspiration! Why do you always get to have everything?!”

*shoves*

Kiry: “Hey stop it!"

Kiry: “That’s enough. Atreo, your behavior is unacceptable. Acco doesn’t deserve this. I-I don’t deserve this. I… I do not want to continue being the best friend of someone as selfish and cruel as you… Please leave.”

Atreo: “Fine. You can have him Acco. You won.”

Acco: *cries*

Kiry: “I’m not an object you can own-”

Atreo: “Bye.”

Atreo: *grumbles* “That travel better get here fast..”

Scientist: “Excuse me young man, I require your assistance. There is… Uhm… My handsome military husband and I lost… A horse! Our horse got loose.”

Atreo: “A horse? There are horses now? Where?”

Atreo: “Gah! What traumatizing pose set is this from-”

Scientist: "Shh shhh sleepy time."

Military guy: "...You think I'm handsome?"

Scientist: "Yes you're gorgeous- wait, I hear somebody coming, quick, let's get out of here!"

An hour later in a basement dungeon in Tartosa…

Atreo: "Ughhh my head, where am I? What uncomfortable pose am I in now?”

Scientist: "Quiet prisoner!"

Arnessa: "You're awake and alive. Good. I feared we used too much mandrake concentrate.”

Atreo: “Oh you have no idea what you’ve done. Zehra’s hidden a tracker somewhere, I think in me? She’s unhealthily obsessed with me and ridiculously strong. She’ll come to rescue me."

Arnessa: “That’s what I’m counting on, silly child!”

Arnessa: “Once she enters my lair, my vampire offspring will overwhelm her and end her reign of vampire-hunting terror! You’re the bait!”

Am I ending on a cliffhanger so I have a good incentive to continue after my hiatus? Yes, I am.

✯ A Sim-ply Historical House Party ✯

Today Kiry is graduating High School. His absurdly wealthy & famous mothers have bought a TS2 re-creation of the Beaker House to host his themed costume party in. Ofcs, Acco, and Atreo are invited!

Atreo: “Omw, look at it! It’s exactly as described in our history books!”

Acco: “Hiya Kiry!"

Kiry: “Good evening and welcome! I appreciate the effort you put into your costumes, I can very easily tell you are meant to be Don Lothario and Pascal Curious."

Acco: “I’m so excited, congrats again on graduating and with such high grades!”

Kiry: “Thank you!"

Atreo: “I’m in awe, the attention to detail… I never knew your mums were so rich!”

Kiry: “They truly went all out. We even have a DJ and a juice keg for the occasion.”

Atreo: “Juice?! This party is gonna be amazing!"

Acco: “Pascal and Nervous were such a good idea for a couples’ costume by the way.”

Kiry: “I can’t even explain how right this feels. Seeing us both dressed like this is making me happy and highly flirty."

Atreo: “Yes!! Juice, juice, JUICE! Let’s all get dazed!”

Atreo: “Really? Cassandra? Don’s fiancée? Coincidence much?”

Zehra: “It's not. I did my research.”

Atreo: "You went through my trash again, didn't you?"

Zehra: "Ah you got me!"

Atreo: "It's a good thing I like you."

Kiry: "You… do? I need to process this information."

Most of the guests head into the courtyard to dance to the TS2 soundtrack. Everybody seems to be having a blast. It's a hot, sweaty night so the juice is flowing fast.

Acco: “I swear Atreo’s not paying any attention to me at all. I bet he still doesn't know about me and Kiry. I’ve told him like 3 times! I have a feeling he’s not gonna like it…”

Onyx: “Oh who cares what your stupid brother thinks? You’re happy, that’s all that matters."

Acco: “I suppose… great costumes btw guys.”

Onyx: “Who knew dressing as a 40-something Mum would feel this comfortable?”

Acco: “Denise you really look like Olive Specter. It’s scaring me.”

Denise: “Aw thank you Acco. You won’t end up in my garden tonight.”

Derya: “Do you need help?”

Zehra: “Ha! Not from you. I can’t believe you dressed as gold digger Dina.”

Derya: “Esma suggested we be the twins-"

Zehra: “You always leave me out! I wanted to be Nina and dream about hottub woohoo with Atreo.”

Derya: “Go and snipe at Esma then."

Derya: “ Wow Atreo, you totally pull off the Don look.”

Atreo: “Thanks, you make a good Dina.”

Derya: “You up for some roleplay? We could mess around in the shower?"

Atreo: "Oh Dina, we shouldn't. I’m engaged."

Derya: "It'll be our secret. Meet me in the bathroom later."

Atreo: “Hey! Cool costumes… You’re the Burbs right?”

Asmara: “Yup, John and Jennifer. Where’ve you been Atreo? I haven’t seen you in ages, we should really catch up… as friends I mean.”

Atreo: “Yeah… Sorry. Later. So does this mean you’re a couple?”

Asmara: “What? No!”

Aldo: “OMW I’m into guys. I told you this. We both have! Do you listen, like ever?”

Asmara: Yeah this is just a friend thing, we thought it’d be cute.”

Atreo: “Oh thank the Watcher.”

Esma: “If you’re Don Lothario, where’s your beard?”

Atreo: “Ugh I couldn’t grow it and my cheeks are just too silky smooth to glue on a fake one.”

Esma: “Your lack of commitment is disappointing.”

Atreo: “Hey you’re Nina, you’re meant to be into me!”

Atreo: “Are you excited for your birthday tomorrow?”

Zehra: “Not really, but I’m excited about yours! A young adult in two days! I wonder what your rolls will be?”

Atreo: “Yeah well, I’ve been trying not to think about it.”

Atreo: “The Watcher and their friends really don’t like me, so my future is looking bleak… Yeah not gonna dwell on it.”

Zehra: “Don’t worry my love. I will be there to support you every step of the way.”

Derya: “Sooo I’m heading to the bathroom just so you know.”

Zehra: “Uck you’re so weird and gross. I’m gonna hack your social bunny and tell everybody."

Atreo: "And I'm gonna go to set off the fireworks I bought real fast. My bladder bar is very low suddenly."

Atreo quickly heads up the stairs to light the fireworks he set up earlier, looking forward to messing around with Derya. He’s determined to distract himself from all the stuff he doesn’t want to accept is happening and is completely unaware of what he’s about to witness…

That night a content Atreo drifts off to sleep… And he dreams once more.

Atreo: “Hmm this looks different. Ah well, it doesn’t matter. I completed the challenge, the Watcher should be pleased with me and break the stupid T-pose curse.”

The Watcher: “Hurray!”

VelvettB: “The firstborn Atherstone son returns.”

Atreo: “You seem glad to see me? Are you having a party because I completed my aspiration?”

TW: "We’re not celebrating you. All you did was the bare minimum under the threat of never-ending misery.”

Atreo: “Oh…”

VelvettB: “The heir’s confidence once again, turns out to be painfully misguided.”

TW: “No this means our friend can return to her original form! Chant VelvettB!”

VelvettB: “Everybody secretly thinks Atreo is lame, he should bow his head in shame, for all this misfortune he’s to blame!”

TW: "Perfectly said! And now for the actual spell, Crystalised Moonbeam, Eye of Newt, and Mystic Dust, now return our good friend to us!”

VB and TW: “You’re back! How do you feel Obsessed Simmer?”

Obsessed Simmer: “Exhausted from staring menacingly at Atreo without blinking for months.”

TW: “You should go to sleep! Sleep is the best thing ever!”

Atreo: “So… Does this mean I’m no longer cursed?”

OS: “Pft, no. The T-Pose curse will stay with you for the rest of your life.”

Atreo: “But that isn’t fair!”

TW: “Well we think it is.”

OS: “You were very rude to me, and you are generally a sucky person. I've been watching you in real-time, so I know.”

VelvettB: “To be honest, you should count your lucky stars. You deserve so much worse."

Atreo: "Won’t the T-pose curse be annoying for you to keep up?”

TW: “Your suffering matters more. You should wake up now, can’t have a party with you around.”

VelvettB: “Yay now you're no longer a dragon toy, you can work more on CC and Ranch to Riches for our Fates channel!"

Atreo wakes up feeling very unsatisfied with his dream. Unlike me, I'm delighted that the Trio is back to normal.

Atreo: "Well that sucked. Now my confidence is shaken.”

To... Be... Continued!

Back at the Atherstone home, right before another school day, Brielle is still trying to max her knitting skill. Alejandro vacuums while being haunted by the ghost raccoon and Acco writes a book about his childhood experiences.

Atreo: “Derya! You’re alive!”

Derya: “Zehra burned all my stuff, but yeah I am!”

Atreo: “Oh, sorry about that.”

Derya: "It's okay, she let me live, that's all that matters. I heard you became just friends with Asmara..."

Atreo: "Yup, you wanna be my gf now?"

Derya: "Ofcs!"

I don’t want to write about all the dates and first kisses and new relationships Atreo is having, so please enjoy this seduction montage!

Atreo: “After all the flirting, the sensual back rubs and us becoming boyfriends, I'm pretty certain I’m not into guys. My preferences are firmly set so... Can we just be friends?”

Chase: “Yes. I understand… I think. Are you still dedicating a song to me?”

Atreo: “No. Sorry."

Later at the Ito house...

Atreo: “I’m making excellent progress all thanks to you and your in-depth research!”

Zehra: “Aw, I love you- er, seeing you succeed.”

Derya: “Atreo are we gonna go on a date soon or-”

Esma: “Desperate much?”

Zehra: “Ugh shut up Derya!”

Atreo: "So… Am I popular enough yet? I’ve seduced nearly every girl at school?”

Esma: “Sorry, not feeling it. I keep seeing the little boy I thrashed at that arcade game.”

Atreo: “I respect that but, again, I beat YOU.”

Esma: “I’ll be nice and let you keep believing that."

Esma and Atreo agree to remain the most platonic of friends. They happily enjoy the swing set together, but Atreo still needs one more golden date to complete his aspiration.

The next night...

Atreo: “You know so much about the stars Nora-”

Nadine: “It’s Nadine-”

Atreo: “By the gnomes, I’m so sorry!”

Nadine: "It’s fine. I barely remember my own name. I only popped into existence 5 hours ago with the strong urge to date you.”

And with this last golden date, Atreo completes his aspiration, and the generation challenge Brielle rolled! AT LAST!!!!

Atreo decides to graduate early after fulfilling his aspiration.

Atreo: “Yay, no more detention for me ever again!”

He then applies to university before bed, all ready for his YA rolls in a week's time.

♫ Atreo skilling on the hack lot, beefing up his college application! Look at him go, he's gonna be so skilled and prepared for whatever challenge he rolls! Wooo! ♫

Meanwhile, Acco has finished and published his first-ever book ‘The ghosts that meow in the night’ and it's immediately nominated for an award!

Acco: “Well that was a nice confidence boost and the motivation I needed to start writing another book!”

Brielle: “Congratulations on getting nominated sweetie and for your first book! I am so proud!”

Acco: “Thanks, mum!"

Brielle: “So many firsts! Did you tell your boyfriend yet?”

Acco: "Of course, but I still need to talk to Atreo properly about him. He's been very distracted."

Atreo: “Guess who ordered pizza to celebrate!”

Acco: "Oh sweet! You got me pizza for publishing a bestseller!"

Atreo: "Huh? Oh yeah sure, it can be for that too."

Atreo: "I've important news! I got into every distinguished degree programme!”

Acco: “Wow! Congrats! Erm but... I also have something to tell you… Kiry and I are dating and-”

Atreo: “Yeah great. The watcher is gonna be so impressed with me!"

Acco: “Did he even hear me?"

Brielle *blows on pocket horn*: “I'm overflowing with pride! Both my boys are amazing! Good news all around!”

Alejandro: “Yeah! Brilliant, well done buddy!”

Atreo: “Thanks, Papi. Erm, is your neck okay?”

Alejandro: “It does this sometimes, don’t worry about it.”

✯ Finally Fulfilling An Aspiration ✯

Atreo is finally making an active effort to complete his aspiration. He has spent the last couple of days reading Zehra's very detailed notes on Emily.

Atreo: "She LOVES her hamster, got it."

Atreo: “Hey Emily. How's your hamster Nibbles after his space mission?”

Emily: "You're asking about Nibbles? Wow... That's SO unexpectedly thoughtful!"

Esma: “Is he really talking to suck up Emily?!”

Zehra: “Shh, let him work his magic."

Emily: "Can you believe he invented nuclear fusion and-”

Chase: “Are you talking about hamsters? I have one too!”

Atreo: “Sorry Chase, Emily and I are trying to have a private conversation.”

Chase: “But... Fine. Whatever.”

Atreo: “Sooo Emily, see you after class?”

Atreo: “You know, there's a cool lot in Moonwood Mill, wanna go hang out there?”

Emily: “Absolutely! Atreo can I be honest for a minute? I… like you. Really like you. I tried to hide it by ratting you out to Ms Summer and I'm so sorry-”

Atreo: “It’s okay. I like you too.”

One travel to Moonwood Mill later…

(I think it somehow looks way creepier in the daylight, right?)

Atreo: “Here we are! Just ignore the smell and trash. It’s from all the rabid werewolves, but they don't come round here until it gets dark, so we're good.”

Emily: “Ew, I-I mean it's... great… In a I wish I’d said goodbye to my loved ones kind of way. Be honest Atreo, are you gonna feed me to a cowplant or something?”

Atreo: “Huh? No! It’s romantic, I swear, I’ll show you.”

Emily: *uneasy sounds*

Atreo: "Hey you can trust me."

Atreo: “See? Romantic right?”

Emily: “Omw I LOVE it! The petals. The candles. The fairy lights. You really went all out.”

Atreo: “Yeah… I totally did.”

Emily: "Mm this salad is so good!"

Atreo: "Thanks, I'm kind of a whizz with uncooked food from living on a cursed lot."

Emily: "It might be the adrenaline, but I’m feeling really flirty.”

Atreo: “That's not a bad thing…”

Emily: "I guess not… What else do you have planned?”

Emily: “Oooohh what a wonderful back massage.”

Zehra: *breathes loudly with face pressed against the glass.* "It's working!!!"

Atreo: “Let’s dance.”

Atreo: “Emily, would you do me the honor of becoming my girlfriend?”

Emily: “Yes… Now is there anything else I can do for you? Cuz I have a few ideas…”

*kiss*

Zehra: “Yes! Complete that aspiration my love, and then you’ll be mine. Hmm, I should probably stop watching them now…”

Emily: “I can't hear you. What are you whispering?”

Atreo: “Ah just nothings.”

Emily: “Well they sound sweet to me. Kiss me.”

*they proceed to do way more than kiss*

Zehra: “Omw, that went so smoothly. Atreo was cool as a cucumber! He makes me so proud. Ahh..."

..."Time to go up to the attic for reasons that will soon become obvious.”

Zehra: “Soon… Soon my love, you will be mine with the Watcher’s blessing.”

*worships her Atreo shrine*

Zehra: “I just can’t stop daydreaming about my future husband.”

*Vampire urns quake ominously in the background*

✯ Love Shack ✯

And so we return...

Werewolf A: “You're ugly. And even for a werewolf, you smell awful. Nobody will ever love you!"

Werewolf B: “My self-confidence! My back! Argh!”

Atreo: “Omw the insults are more brutal than the fight!”

Zehra: “Stop it guys, verbal violence isn’t the answer!”

Werewolf B: “Run and hide children! He’s gonna tear you apart using your insecurities!”

Zehra: "Quick get back inside!"

Atreo: *panting* “So it seems you've got me trapped here, what are you going to do to me? It’s gonna be weird isn’t it?”

Zehra: “No, nothing weird, I promise!”

Atreo: “Did you hear that? What’s up there?”

Zehra: “Nothing! Maybe bats. Not vampire ghosts, definitely not vampire ghosts. Why would you even think that?”

Atreo: “Uhm...”

Zehra: “Don’t worry about it my love, come with me.”

Zehra: “Tadaa! Isn’t it romantic?”

Atreo: “Yeah… Lots of fairy lights, candles, and petals, you put a highly concerning amount of effort into this.”

Zehra: “It’s for you to mess around in!”

Atreo: “Huh, what an uncomfortable and inappropriate overstep into my personal life.”

Zehra: "I want to help you fulfill your aspiration, my love. You need to appease the Watcher or you’ll stay cursed."

Atreo: "I guess... What are you getting from it?"

Zehra: "The pleasure of seeing you succeed."

Atreo: "That's all?"

Zehra: "That's more than enough for me!"

Atreo: “Well…This room’s decor is putting me in the mood. The Sandalwood scent is infatuating, literally thanks to the Sandalwood.”

Zehra: “I know right! Just imagine how easy it will be to seduce sims here my love.”

Atreo: “You’re not wrong…”

Zehra: “Anyway Atreo, in my visions-”

Atreo: “You have visions?!”

Zehra: “Yes. In my visions, the Watcher and their two cool friends told me that you rolled the secret want to kiss me. Is that… True?”

Atreo: *deep sigh* “Okay. Fine. Yes.”

Zehra: “Eeee! Can… Can I help you fulfill it?”

Atreo: “W-what?”

Zehra: “Let me kiss you. Please? It’s what we both want after all.”

Atreo: “Hmm I am flirty so… Oh why not?”

*kiss*

Zehra: “That was… Amazing. Your lips are intoxicating my love.”

Atreo: “And I feel like I’ve made a horrible mistake-”

Zehra: “No, you’ve done well! So well. You needed 3 first kisses to complete your aspiration goal! Now you can move on to the next phase."

Zehra: “Look, I’ll prove to you how not weird I am about the magical kiss we just shared. Let’s sit down and discuss our plan of action.”

Atreo: "Alright..."

Zehra: "Your charisma is great, so you just need to kiss 10 sims and have a high romantic relationship with 3. I count, and so does Derya. Go after Emily next. She might be sucking up to Principal Summer, but that's because she has a crush on you and desperately wants to hide it."

Atreo: “OK, if you say so. I’ll try… Thanks for all of this Zehra. You’re actually not that bad. I mean, you’re my stalker and the depth of your erraticness scares me, so you’re still pretty bad but-"

Zehra: “Ooo I love it when you compliment me!”

Atreo: “Ugh. It’s 3 am. I’m exhausted…”

Zehra: “You can go to sleep, I’ll guard over you and keep you safe from the werewolves.”

Atreo: “Thanks, but I think I’m too paranoid to sleep. ”

1 hour later…

Atreo: *snores*

Zehra: “ Oh Greggorius Lunvik, your diary is smutty- What’s this? Camille? What does she want? To meet me tomorrow so she can unveil her secret master plan? Ugh fine.”#

Morning has broken in Moonwood Mill. The werewolves have gone and the neighborhood is safe again.

Atreo: “Bye Zehra.”

Zehra: “See you soon my love... At school in like 2 hours!”

Zehra: *whispers to herself* “Did I do well my Watcher? Are you proud of me?”

Yes. Keep up the good work and Atreo will be yours, as we agreed

To. Be. Continued!
