Chapter 1.16-Pop!

Yeah. It's been an eon. I've had pics (a ton) and stuff but... stuff. And then they were getting super laggy and I was bored with them (starting is fun. It's hard. But they're worth a boat load and I'd kind of like shorter lifespans for my wishacy.) But now, with AGS all set up, I can go in and make toddlers toddlers for only a few days! And kids can be kids for just a week! Teens for a week too! Life! Will! Be! So! Much! Better! So I'm putting these out so I can go visit Lottie and her brood of terror.

We'll start by showing that ITF is installed.

And that the sudden appearance of the portal scared poor Sherman into running off again. Of course it did.

Okay guys. That's just creepy. Close your eyes while you kiss please? Creepy. :/

Oh yeah! There was a gift giving party going on! There are still guests here and Lottie and Sherman had kissed under the Mistletoe. Someone rolled a wish for that... I forget who. Obviously I didn't. Bleh.
Anyhow, Here's Dallas Shallow 'sneaking up' on Lottie.


Hey, Dallas?
Dallas- Shhhh! I'm being sneaky!
But she can see-
Dallas- SSSSSSSSHHHHHH!!!! If you keep talking she'll see me!

Lottie- Oh, Hey there Dallas! How are you?

Dallas- I'm fine. Great party. BTW- RAAAAAAAWWWWWRRR!
Lottie- Ohholyplumbbobsandmakersandrainbows!

Lottie- Oh my Maker!
Yes, Lottie?
Lottie- Not you. I totally didn't see you coming Dallas!
*sigh. Of course you didn't Lottie.
Lottie- What's that supposed to mean?
Dallas- *frozen smile. I'm, uh, just going to back out of here slowly now. I didn't realize that scaring you would lead to you hallucinating. Then again, Like a Boss. Yeeeaaaaah.

Lottie- One, Two! Two! There are Two walkers! Is that because we have two toddlers?
*facepalm. Yes, Lottie. Though congrats on learning to count. Did the be-ribboned toddler behind you teach you that?
Lottie- Yes, Gwendolyn did help.

Oh yeah! I remembered the toddlers names this time!

 The one in red is Gwendolyn. Because red makes me think of my cousin Gwen who has brilliant red hair even in her 50's. xD

The one in white is Lily. Lily white? Geddit? Yeah, it was lame. And it doesn't matter that we can't see their faces, because they grow up in a few pictures anyway.

But first! Sherman's oldest son Albert came over with Flynn Cash from school one day. Flynn Cash could care less. Then again, judging by the amount of fun Albert is having with that rocking horse, he could care less that Flynn Cash is there too.

Bonehilda- By setting this tomato ice cream out on the counter 20 TIMES A DAY for the Maker to so thoroughly clean up each time, I should totally get a raise. Also. My job ROCKS.
Atta girl, Boney. Annoy me too much more and I'll ship you off to my ISBI. That's not a threat either. It's a promise!

Sherman- I'm so scared of doctors!

Bonehilda- 'Sup Sherman?

Sherman- *gasp. I need to change my clothes. Like now. I'm cold. That's why. Right.

Sherman- There. See? That wasn't so bad. It was just the skeletal maid. Doing her job.

Sherman- Oh, who am I kidding? SKELETAL MAID!!!

Paige/Samantha- Did you ever notice Dad's a bit of a scardey cat?
Whichever one the other is not Samantha- Hmmm, yeah. I guess he is a bit of a scardey cat.

Paige/Samantha- I think I could make some real money off of it. You want in?
WOTOINSamantha- Hmmmmm...

*Lullaby!*
*sob!

*Glitchy kids!*
*sobs harder
But with the kid dancing on the counters that means *trumpet fanfare* it's time for a birthday party!

First up is Gwen. Lottie was NOT happy about it. Neither was Redheaded Boy Child Whose Name Also Escapes Me Flynn. He's into potioneering and is forever blowing himself up without wishing to bathe. Little Jerk. He also kept making sad faces during the party.
GO BATHE IDIOT!

Gwen- I.Don'.Wanna! I wanna annoy Maker as Toddler Forever!
Lottie- Wah!

OMG no sparkle shot! Aren't you proud of me?
Here's Gwen as a child.

Lulz. Absent minded trait for the win. Though Paige is totally not heir.

Adorbs!

Beautiful! Gosh Lily is pretty. And because of events about to unfold, she's right up there with Flynn Cash as favorite for heir.

But first!

Pop!
I hate you Lottie.
Lottie- I don't care. :)

Lily- I'm so glad I get to spend time with Daddy in this tiny bathroom!
Flynn Cash- I'm not. This situation is about to go radioactive! (♪♫I raise my flag! I drop my clothes! It's a revolution, I suppose. We're painted red, to fit right iiiiiin. Whoaaa.♪♫ Couldn't resist. Sorry.)

Dammit Sherman! Roll a want that I can use to get you out of this!
Lily- I thought you kinda hated Daddy for his wandering boy parts?
...
You're right. Screw you Sherman!

Flynn Cash- I'm totally using this as blackmail.
Lily- You're so paying my therapist bills one day.

The second Sherman leaves Roxie Lin to the mercy of his kids they pounce.
First, FlynnCash scared her. I missed it because I just knew everyone would get bored in the bathroom and leave. Only Sherman walked off.

I wander off a second time and come back to find this. This time, Lily was the one who scared her. I find their similar/totally different reactions priceless. Lily is cackling, Roxie is howling. You deserve it Roxie.

Lily- Oh Flynn Cash! This is great!
Roxie- I'm leaving.
Flynn Cash- Good riddance. :/

Lily- I'm totally using this to get a bicycle.
FlynnCash- My dad is rubbish. And that chick is trash.

And what was so interesting that I kept leaving the best show in town for? This. Lottie and Constance Shelley, Sherman's Baby Mama, chatting it up. Too bad Constance would admit to nothing and Lottie is still clueless. Oh well.


Now yay! I can go in and play! Maybe Sherman will get a MidLife Crisis and wish to leave Lottie so I don't have to deal with his cheating butt. And now I'm caught up! Woot!

Also, I've since went back and added the correct names to the correct kids. Doh!

Chapter 1.15- And the Room Explodes

 When we last left our intrepid heroine Lottie Nott, she had called a meeting of the Red Headed League (Sir Arthur Conan Doyle folks. Sherlock.)  at her dining room table.

Lottie- We've got a real problem you two. I want a red haired heir and the dark haired kids are currently the front runners based on personality quirks. So, Flynn, quit being so mild.

Flynn- I'm eating my salad in my outerwear indoors. Isn't that a quirk?

Samantha- What's a quirk?

Lottie- It's talk like that that makes us the losers here! Get it together!

Flynn & Samantha- Yes, mother.

So here we go. All six of those with wishing capabilities wished to throw a gift giving party for the winter festival. I then took advantage of Twallan's "Throw Party" override to invite over a ton of sims as punishment. For added spice, I also invited James Reed (the former object of Lottie's obsession), Constance Shelley along with Albert- Sherman's baby mama and son-, and Roxie Lin, Sherman's girlfriend. Not wanting to redo the living room just because it's larger I left the party in the foyer just because. Add in chairs and the room is cramped indeed. Sherman is eyeing those gifts with a rather startled expression on his face. Or maybe it's just seeing so many explosive situations in the same room together have triggered that coward trait. Which reminds me- Lucky Perkins is also in the house to see if Cash will bother him again.

Little girl dressed incredibly inappropriately for the weather keeps booing Albert. He looks pretty down about it. And Flynn gets gift number one and gets a dollhouse. Woot.

Laurel Shallow (nee Grisby) (On the right in the dark blue hoodie) Watches as Dallas Shallow, her husband gets booed by Maximus McDermott. I'm thinking maybe Maximus knows that I prefer for him to marry Laurel when I do this world, but that this time I let Dallas get the good girl. Cash is not amused by the booing. Dallas seems to think he's still carrying a plate in his right hand.

Cash is even more infuriated when he gets a cat bag as a gift.

*snickers!

Lottie gets an easel and Flynn gets another crack at the gift pile, this time coming away with a toy oven.

Cash then gets a second gift too. This time he got a Teddy Bear and doesn't throw a hissy fit.

Lottie? Didn't you already get a gift?

Lottie- Obviously I've been a good little girl and get another one. Go.Me.

Lottie- !!! ae;oguihaw!!! Who thought gag gifts were a good idea? Who was it? Constance! I know you did this! I know you still want my man!

Calm down Lottie. Cash is looking disturbing again. We don't need to you trigger the snap that kills you all. Beside, surely it's not that bad. What did you get.

Lottie-I got a mood light.

See? It's perfect for going downstairs in the crazy color room. Wait. EA did fix those... right?

Lottie- akghalrkgha

Sherman- Do you need medical assistance with that hand sir?

Dallas Shallow- Shut up pansy.

Lottie- No, no. I'm with Pansy. That hand does look like you could use some help with it. Want me to call a doctor?

Dallas Shallow- No one needs a doctor!

Laurel- Actually... I think I'm in labor. I could use one.

*collectively- Labor???

And the room explodes.

Little girl- When I grow up, I want to be just like you and cause havoc where ever I go. You're my hero.

Laurel- Well this is amusing.

Laurel- You're all really sweet for caring. And it's so nice to be the center of attention for once.

*collectively- AKFHALKUHAIUHT!!!!!

Laurel- The way you guys are all going on, you'd think this was a big deal or something. I'm fine. Really. You can all stop and go about your business now... This is enough. Enough. Stop it! STAHP IT! Fine.

Laurel- OMP MY TUMMY IS GOING TO EXPLODE HOLY GEEZ THIS HURTS!!!

Laurel- Made you look! Pansies.

George Dean- OMP! You're acting is better than a soap opera on the broken tv!

Laurel- Iiiii'm going home now. Maybe I'll spit the kid out into the snow on the way.

Dallas Shallow tried to follow his laboring wife, but the Red Headed League Jr. managed to capture him.

Flynn- Why are you holding your arm like that?

Samantha- Is your wife going to explode? Is her tummy ache really bad?

Dallas Shallow- Oy. This kid needs some life lessons.

Cash- Ooomph nomnom.S'getti in the snow. Yumm-o.

Back inside to see what's going on with the party-

Sherman- This place is filthy- it's crawling with flies. Clean it up servant. Oooh!

Roxie Lin- I got my favorite boyfriend floooowers!

Sherman- Purple! They're so pretty!

Maid- I just want to clean. I don't need to be party to this.



Roxie- So big boy... what's a girl got to do to get a little attention from her boyfriend?

Will Sherman make a move? Will Lottie finally discover Sherman's dirty little secret? Even I don't know! Stay tuned as we follow our the Nott family next time!
