✮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!"
