Family
Chapter 4: The One with Grim
2. “Hello, I'm Lorinsv60, and I write a pleasant little story called 'Romancing the Apocalypse', but
that isn't why I'm here.
You see, in an Apocalypse, it isn't just Sims who suffer. Pets do too, and we are all too soft to let
them die. So I volunteered to take care of any well-behaved Pets that serves the VonNuke
Family.”
3. “It's such an arduous task. Living without Apocalypse restrictions in a nice, modern house. Bad
times indeed.”
4. “The Pets get their own little house to themselves. How sweet.”
5. “My first resident? The sweet little Buster. Remember him? He helped Chip to lift the Natural
Science career.
As for Tucker? Eh, he should have worked harder.”
6. “However, this isn't about me. It is about a pleasant little family, filled with beautiful sims and
organic beings, living in harmony in a pleasant little shack..”
8. Thanks Lorin. Welcome back, readers!
In our last chapter, we had birthdays, aspiration failures and a very special career lift! That's
right, folks, Medical is completely lifted, which means showers!
I stuffed them into every possible space, 'cause Architecture makes it awkward to build efficient
bathrooms.
9. Anyway, our Generation 2 heir, Rum VonNuke starts his 'zomg srs skillin' for the future, which is
much easier said than done with Pet Showbiz still in place.
So, following a family tradition, I set him to breaking the sinks for puddles, so he can gain
cleaning points from mopping.
I know, I'm so intelligent.
10. “This puddle is defying gravitavity! Why does it not go down hole, Mummy?”
Oh yeah, Rum didn't grow out of his baby voice, and frequently calls me 'Mummy'. Bless his
cotton socks.
“These socks are polyester!”
Oh, hush child.
11. “Yay! I have more cleaning! This is awesomey, Mummy!”
Ah, I love my little heir.
12. Oh, and after he's finished cleaning, he can fix sinks for mechanical skill!
Take THAT, Pinstar!
13. Speaking of the Pet restrictions (Which we were … kinda ...), here is a Pet! Say hello Webster!
“woof.”
Pffft, enthusiasm wouldn't kill you. Anyway, I need a new Pet. I'll send Rum to you!
“bark.”
14. That's right Rum. Trap him between the bars that are ugly-yet-needed-because-of-Architecture!
“Doggy-oggy-woggy!”
“grrr.”
15. “I can adopt the doggy-oggy-woggy?”
Of course Rum.
“Yay! Thankies!”
At least he was raised properly.
“My Dabby luffles me!”
*Household is full message* >.<
16. Anyway, Rum isn't the only member of the household. We also have 5 PlantSims who are
plugging away at their careers. They are currently working on Dance, Intelligence, Culinary and
Oceanography.
Their names are unimportant, as they call themselves 'The Five'.
It would be much more convincing if they stopped smacking eachother!
“The Five believes that a gentle beating provides entertainment!”
True that.
17. And this PlantSim? He lifted Medical for us. And what's his parting prize?
“I get to sit here and wait until a satellite crashes into me.”
Yeah. Sorry about that, but if a Mad Scientist brings a satellite into work, Alien Tech is lifted.
“By the way, I think I should be kept alive. I broke free from the hive mind and all.”
Sorry, restrictions first. I know, I'm a bad person.
“You don't say.”
18. Our Mad Scientist? Annoying, Generation 1 Spouse Tyson, of course! After plaguing the family
with slow skilling, disobedience, dominant genes and ugly lips, he now wanders around
aimlessly, waiting for his Elderfication, so he can finally be free of my commands.
Yeah, Pet Service sucks.
19. Here is someone who is living under the effects of Pet Service. Our founder, Chippeth,
graduated Summa Cum Laude, with £100000 in cash, 7 Maxed Skills, Perma-Platinum, 23
BFFs and a pirate hat. He proceded to top Natural Science within 5 days of the apocalypse,
which is three times shorter than it took for Tyson to get 2 promotions.
However, he is lagging the lot with all his memories. He has a solid 40 pages of 'Ate Grilled
Cheese Sandwich', plus 62 'met Sim' memories. And we can't forget all the Best Friends, Dream
Dates and Deans List memories.
Wow, what a large wall of text.
20. So, one day later and Nettle here is still observing the skies for a large object that will hopefully
crash into him.
21. Or so I thought.
WHERE ARE YOU GOING?
“Work. Duh.”
No. Go quit now and observe those stars.
23. Hmmm, it just occurred to me that I hadn't given you Rum's stats.
Rum VonNuke
Popularity/Romance
10 Neat
4 Shy
10 Active
3 Serious
4 Mean
Become Hall of Famer (Hmmm … maybe)
24. “The Five believe that Promotions are appearing at a rapid rate.”
Surprisingly, they are. I can hardly keep up with them.
Well done, Five.
25. Now back to work!
I love having a car. Great instrument for gaining promotions!
26. Ugh, want panel spam. Enjoy your pool, Rum.
“I wanna play Marco Polo!”
...Stupid Architecture. Wait a week Rum.
“Okie dokie. Thankies Mummy!”
27. “Hey, dude in the sky?”
That's me. What do you want now?
“Have you read the Music restrictions?”
...DAMN! Sims cannot StarGaze or Watch Clouds!
So Alien Tech cannot be lifted at all, until Music is. Well, now I have to review my plans!
“Can I go now?”
28. Hmmm, is this the best maxed skill picture you have ever seen or what?
“Or what, Mummy!”
Well Rum, now you have nothing to do until you turn into an Adult. What you gonna do?
29. “Elixir!”
Yes, I'm using the Elixir to age Rum up. Tyson doesn't need it now that all my hopes of lifting
Alien Tech are gone, so I shouldn't let it go to waste.
30. So far so good!
“Ugh! It's very, very yucky!”
Woo! I'm one step closer to another lift! Or so I thought...
31. But then...
“Yipee! The juice is super-duper!”
...It was just this once, right? He'd get older on the next go, correct?
33. “Woo! I got 18 days left as a teenager!”
Ugh. DO NOT WANT!
34. “The Five believes you should control your anger anger because of The Childish One, but also
believes you should pay more attention to us.”
Pffft, what now? Bloody attention hogs...
“We would like to inform you of our recent promotions, and that we need to use the car.”
35. Very well.
“The Five thanks you for your kindness.”
As you should.
“They. Third Person.”
...Shut it.
36. “One of the Five has returned with good news.”
Hmmm?
37. “It involves … promotions...”
So, you gonna show us a little story?
“The Five shall not. You shall have to turn on the TV.”
38. Rum?
“Yes, Mummy?”
Ummm … nice clothes. Oh, and go turn on the TV!
39. “The Five are making an appearance tonight, 'o Childish One.”
“Hehe, plant-wanty talk!”
40. “Hello viewers, and welcome to Cooking: VonNuke style!
Last time on the show, willing Chef Petal VonNuke did something that will change the culinary
art forever!
Tell them what you did for the folks at home, Petal!”
41. “Thank you, Derek! Now, before the Apocalypse, people relied on gas to cook their food, but this
was damaged during the nuclear explosion!”
“Oh no!”
“Indeed. Something needed to be done about this before we could develop as Simkind!”
42. “So I fixed it!”
“Just like that?”
“Just like that, Derek!”
43. “Now, on this episode, Petal will show you how to cook!”
“All decorations provided by the Cult of Personality and Joey the Comb”
Phew, nice save there Petal!
44. “Now, cooking is really simple. All you have to do is reach into your fridge, and pull out whatever
you desire! Our fridges were already fully stocked – no need to ration!”
45. “Here is the hard part though. You need to bend those flabby thighs and insert your meal into
the 'oven', now available in 1 colour!”
“Oh, by golly! That is huge!”
“I thought so too Derek.”
49. “And finally, no more dirty plates! There is now a new invention called a 'dishwasher'! No more
grubby, custom content bowls!”
“No custom content? In this game? Surely you jest!?”
51. Ahhh, so now everybody is free to eat whenever they want. So I let Tyson indulge in a single
bowl of cereal.
Yeah, I'm not getting an oven until I have enough room. My Sims can easily just live off unlimited
Jello.
52. There is one exception though. A nice stove on the roof!
61. “Heh, T-Mobile. Anyway, where was I? Oh yeah. I HAVE COME TO TAKE YOUR SOUL!”
Soul? Seriously Grim, how cliché can you get?
“...I just want to fit in...”
62. R.I.P Petal VonNuke. Proud chef, but at least it's a fitting death! No?
Yeah, sorry Petal. I'm sorry you are the first death. Seriously
63. R.I.P Petal VonNuke. Proud chef, but at least it's a fitting death! No?
Yeah, sorry Petal. I'm sorry you are the first death. Seriously
64. Still, Petal, you got your revenge. Every person in the household is so far into the red! Stupid
fires and their hygiene and comfort and energy and hunger drops!
And the worst thing is that they refuse to go downstairs.
65. “Hey! We can't get to the fire! What kind of rip-off is this?”
...Not going to answer. Nope.
66. “...the five has been broken.”
Oh, shut up and go panic with your siblings.
67. Wait, wait, WAIT! NO! I didn't know gravestones could burn! I want a monument for Petal,
dammit!
Ugh! Please be able to resurrect! Not one person in this Apocalypse is leaving without a reward!
71. “No thanks, I'll just climb into bed, *&^(*^. Good night!”
OMGWTFBBQ!
72. Food now?
“No ^&%* way!”
Tyson! I'm not having two deaths in one night!
73. Oi! I clicked on the fridge! Get some cereal down you!
“I'm ^*&^% cold!”
TYSON! DO I LOOK AS IF I GIVE A FECKING DAMN?!
“yes.”
GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR.
74. “I'm a normal colour now.”
Great. You're gonna die. Get some food!
“Nah, I think I'll just let it fade from my queue of actions...”
81. And so my most annoying Sim ever dies, with only the paper boy for company. I should say
something fitting and polite, but I truly loathed him.
Rot away, you miserable excuse for pixels. Rot away.
God, I am totally heartless.
82. Oh, wait. Sorry Chipster.
“G, he was my hubby!”
Yeah … sorry.
“You said that.”
Sorry.
83. Rum?
“Sniffles!”
Sorry, Rum. If it's any consolation, we now have space for a Pet.
84. “In that case, I'm totally over that stranger guy!”
There's a good boy!
85. “The Five … The Five is dead.”
This is true.
“I … free?”
Indeed!
“I … story to tell.”
Tell away, my botanic friend!
86. “The … the sea. Beautiful. I don my suit and get to work.”
As you do, yes. That is the whole point of the challenge after all.
“No. No mockery.”
Sorry.
“You said that.”
I swear, if my Sims get any cheekier...
87. “It was … It was so close! The smell – Lovely! The feel – Lovely!”
Hmmm, you've obviously never been to Blackpool.
“Can I finish?”
So-
“Don't say it!”
>.<
88. “I couldn't control myself! I stripped to my mere skivvies-”
Lol, skivvies.
“ANYWAY, I stripped off and got into the ocean. Oh my!”
Radiation?
“The best kind.”
Yeah … too much information...
89. “Just keep swimming, just keep swimming...”
Don't make Finding Nemo references. The Borg will know I let you watch it without
Entertainment lifted.
“You didn't.”
Oh, must have been my other family.
“You betrayed us?”
Hey, this is your story! Don't let me interrupt!
90. “So yeah, eventually I found this weird spot, and I got sucked into it!”
Yeah, radiation. Hence, 'apocalypse'.
“This wasn't radiation, it was more like a whirlpool, or something.”
Caused by radiation.
“LET ME FINISH!”
91. “And then I came out in a totally different area! It was clean, and fresh, and didn't dissolve my
skin!”
Ah. That's good then.
92. “I kept floating along, trying to look all pretty and stuff, and I saw a shack decorated with
mermaids and dolphins!”
You know, mermaids were probably a result of radiation...
“GAH! Stop with the radiation rubbish already!”
93. “So I climbed the ladder and walked the plank.”
Hmmm … I dunno. If I got sucked into a (radiation-induced) whirlpool then got spat out at a
shack, I would get the hell out of there!
“How, exactly?”
Break the Gamer and Military restrictions and call for a taxi! Life before restrictions!
“That's ironic, after what happened to the Five...”
Hush.
94. “In the water, there was fish! Yeah, amazing right?”
Yeah … got salmon?
“...?”
I don't know either, to be completely honest.
95. “So yeah, I snuck up to the front door and got out my camera!”
Why?
“I decided I wanted to become an official stalker.”
Oh. Very well then.
96. “Inside, I saw two humanoidic creatures fighting inside. They seemed to have a martial bond, or
something.”
Did you happen to catch their names?
“Yes, actually. Posia SeaDweller and Poseidon SeaDweller.”
Ooooh, Poseidon, eh? He's the one that's holding the Oceanography restrictions in place!
“I would have told you that IF YOU LET ME FINISH!”
97. “Inside, I saw two humanoidic creatures fighting inside. They seemed to have a martial bond, or
something.”
Did you happen to catch their names?
“Yes, actually. Posia SeaDweller and Poseidon SeaDweller.”
Ooooh, Poseidon, eh? He's the one that's holding the Oceanography restrictions in place!
“I would have told you that IF YOU LET ME FINISH!”
98. “Ahem. So this is how the argument went...”
“You are weak! You are a failure! You're going to die alone, unloved, and I'm then going to steal
your riches! How'dyu like that, Mr. Oh-I-Am-Master-Of-The-Seven-Seas?!”
99. “Hehe, that showed him not to mess with the QUEEN! EHEHEHEHEHE!”
“It's unfair. I spend my whole lift upholding restrictions for her, and then she makes me all sad
and stuff.”
100. “Now, dear, I'm going to take out the trash. Not you, dear.”
“And so she skipped towards the door.”
With you on the other side?
“Yes.”
Oh. Crap.
101. “Yeah, I was worried too. Although, I did look handsome while doing so...”
I suppose that's a plus I can relate too.
“Are you serious?”
...Yes.
“Wow, you really are funny! Haha!”
That was possibly the fakest laugh I have ever heard.
102. “I had so little time to prepare myself! All I could do was stand there in fear!”
Pffft, coward.
“What would you do?”
...Shut up.
103. “Ugh, if it isn't a slimy little weed. Begone, peasant, before I burn you like hot dogs on a grill.”
Oh, she just crossed the line!
“Oh, you just crossed the line!”
107. Oi! You killed her!
“She's part-fish. She'll live.”
True.
“And like you're really one to talk...”
108. “Anyway, I felt really bad, so I went inside to tell her husband the good news.”
GOOD news?
“Uhhh … I meant bad news.”
Ch'yeah. Okay.
109. “Err, hey, Mr. SeaDweller. I've never met a God like you before...”
“Oh, I'm nothing special... With that she-devil on my back all the time.”
“Well, I guess I'm going to have to be the one to inform you … she's fell down a ditch.”
112. “Hmmm, Possy. I like it! Say, a handsome young man like you wouldn't happen to know of a
game called … 'Hide the Sock.”
“Erm, are you hitting on me? Because according to the game I'm your employee, and that
probably won't end well...”
113. “Oh … Well … I might be able too … If you offer me something in return...”
Ummm, I'm pretty sure that's illegal...
“Hmmm. Possy likes this plan. What is it you require, my little spore...”
“Could you raise the restriction... Please?”
114. “Oh! I'll take this as a yes then!”
“Let me fulfill that 'love' need...”
OKAY, MOVING SWIFTLY ONWARDS!
115. “So, that is the story of how Oceanography was lifted.”
...You must be so proud.
So, now we can lock wants/fears, use the water tool, eat fish and use the pool tab.
...Oh. Crap. Well, in all fairness, nobody ever used the pool. Even after I built it properly. Heh.
Oh, and I can choose on aspiration reward to unlock and use.
116. Yeah. Good-bye teenagers!
And good-bye readers, for this chapter has gotten too long for my liking. However, I plan to have
a new chapter out very soon, then a Christmas special!
I love you all, you special, sexy readers! Night!
