Vijaya and Vikrama Windling Get Abducted
With just Branwen, Orion, Mercury, Vijaya and Vikrama in the house it was soon the end of Summer and time to throw the annual Last Day of Summer party. Several people showed up to party and renew their acquaintanceship with the main household, including Laura from the first dynasty, Damon, and the twins Valene and Valora, dressed differently because Valora had been pledged to the Windling F.U.N. house while Valene was still sitting untouched in a dorm.
"You are so not going to be able to make that shot."
Meanwhile Aeolus and Valkyrie were jamming to the radio out in the entrance hall.
"We so can't dance."
Out in the courtyard where the food was I had Mercury set up to DJ. He seemed thrilled with the prospect and DJed the whole party.
"I call this the undead mix, hope you like it!"
I had Orion call over guests to build relationships with them before allowing them to do their own thing which slowly lured the party out into the summer night.
"Come on! Party already! Or, I'll tickle you again!"
It wasn't long before most of the guests were jamming to the DJ.
"Hey, he's pretty good at this!"
The twins who had trotted off to bed half way through the party managed to wake up before it ended. I immediately had queued up for them to shower and then do their homework. Unfortunately one of the guests decided to sit down in the Study and kept Vijaya from being able to do just that. Of all the seats in the house... I swear it's like they know.
"There's someone in my way!"
The party ended up being a roof raiser.
"Last Day of Summer officially over."
I had the family grab some grub from the buffet table before doing clean up. I thought it was really strange, Vikrama came to the table and Branwen turned and gave him such a look. Apparently, she didn't like all of these aliens in her house.
"You are not that cute!"
It didn't matter, Vijaya and Vikrama had managed to earn the last of their skill based scholarships and so spent the rest of their childhood painting and out from under foot.
"Ode to a box. Or rather, several boxes."
Not long after that the twins were teens. For Vijaya I rolled Knowledge.
"I want to learn everything about everything."
For Vikrama I rolled Popularity.
"I just want to become friends with everything."
That very first night of their teenhood, Vikrama was abducted by aliens.
"Lucky duck."
He soon returned safe and sound with an additional half a point in scholarships.
"What are you guys laughing at?"
Another Saturday!
First Bloodline, Sixth Generation: from left to right are Vijaya, Orion, Mercury, Branwen and Vikrama.
It was a good thing I got in the picture too because Satuday at 6PM the Grim Reaper came for both Branwen and Orion, something I had never had before. He drifted over to Branwen first.
"It is time for you to get an all expenses paid trip to paradise."
"You, same deal."
The twins kept plugging away at those scholarships, with Vijaya having the added perk of working on maxing her skills. It wasn't long before Vikrama was finishing up and called over Verdandi for his vampire bite.
"Looks like you'll be joining the undead, kid."
The face he makes is just so silly.
"Too many endorphins!"
"Is this how you bleh?"
With that Vikrama had a point and half in scholarships and was ready to head off to college.
"Do you happen to have any of those complimentary blood flavored lolly pops?"
Towards the very end of her teen hood Vijaya was also abducted by aliens. The first (and only) time I have ever had a set of twins both be abducted by aliens.
"Now, I'm the lucky duck."
I had Vijaya invite over her twin so that the vampirism could be passed on.
"Whoa, another for the undead club!"
Immediately after that she headed off to college with maxed skills and a point and half in scholarships.
"As long as the driver gets here quick, the sun is going to come up soon."
I went off to play college a bit leaving Mercury all alone at the main house. Unforunately my playing resulted in only one thing. Determining that I only had one blood child from second bloodline's fifth generation that was a Family Sim. You guessed it, Cerebrus. So, he now had ONE semester left and I had ONE semester to get an heir ready with wife, friends and funds. Fun!
Meanwhile, the last day of winter had rolled around at the Greek House.
Greek House: from left to right are Cerebrus, Valora, Cupid, Dylan, Damon, Chloe and Cael.
The wife I chose at the extreme last minute was Cerebrus' Family Sim professor, Prof. Veronica. Yeah, the nose I'm going to kinda regret.
"So... what do you know about legacy families?"
So ends the story of first bloodline's sixth generation.
Points Earned: One point for Platinum Graves (Branwen and Orion). One point for Vijaya maxing her skills. Vijaya and Vikrama earned three points in scholarships.

Wow, your legacy sure does get the bad noses. You have Crebrus' flat one, Veronica's slope one, and Dylan's monstrosity. *shiver.* You know, Bitsy you and I play a lot alike (mostly because I read your first legacy and acquired all of your amazing strategies, so I have a whole lot of points!) but thats where we divide- I cannot have ugly Sims, especially in my legacy!
(By the way, isn't Prof. Veronica the same slutty professor who was with Minos back in first Gen and Gemini in second? She sure does get around!) And Branwen was an awesome heiress, I think she was my second favorite after Nimue. :D

She is that very professor! I wasn't sure whether to bring it up because I thought it might just confuse people, but since she is an art prof she has already met, and gotten intimate with, quite a few of the Windling Romance Sim set. Poor thing really wants a Windling man, it's about time I let her have one for keeps.
