The Parsons Legacy: Chapter 181

It's voting day!

Paisley: "Hmm... no more voting space left? We've already voted in a total of four neighborhood action plans, I guess it's time to repeal one of them. I'll try to repeal 'We Wear Bags', I was going through some stuff when I voted for that."

Elijah: "Isn't my dinosaur so cool?!"

The coolest!

Sprinkles: "Mom, mom, mommy, mom, mom, look at me!"

Rosie: "Did you hear something?"

Paisley: "Deven really thinks he can repair the toilet?"

Paisley: "Good luck with that, babe. You'll probably make it worse and cause it to reverse flush."

Deven: "What's wrong with reverse flushing anyway?"

Zhora: *Gasp!* "My eyes!"

Deven: ♫ "Don't stop! LEAVING!" ♫
"Wait... it's,"
♫ "Don't stop! DISBELIEVING!" ♫
"Wait..."

Paisley: "I love you more than my own family, you beautiful trash bag."

Zhora: "These sims are crazier than me!"

Deven: "Paisley is trying to repeal 'We Wear Bags'? Not on my swatch... I mean... watch."

Watch out y'all, the intellectual eco expert Deven is on his way to the community notice board.

So, Deven, what should be repealed instead?

Deven: "Uh oh, I'd better hide, here comes Paisley. She'd kill me if I tried to repeal 'Green Initiative in Port Promise'."

She'd have your head on a platter.

Paisley: "Can I see Deven down by the notice board?"

Paisley: "Hmm... still no signatures on the repeal for 'We Wear Bags'. I wonder where Deven went?"

Paisley: "Erick Parsons, my long list twin!"

Erick: "Hey, sis! We haven't seen each other forever!"

It's true, the twins haven't seen each other for so long!

Paisley: "How's life been treating you lately?"

Erick: "Well, we are neighbors, you can visit me any time you want. You should come see your niece and nephew sometime!"

Paisley: "I definitely will! Since we're neighbors, have you been upgrading the appliances in your home to be eco-friendly, by any chance?"

Erick: "Uh... no... but I'm gonna get to that right now."

Paisley: "Good idea, see you later, Erick!"

Deven: "Would you like some help with your homework, sweetie?"

Lauryn: "No, I don't want to fail."

Elijah: "BURN!"

Zhora: "Ugh, I told you not to make me come near these bugs."

Zhora: "Aww, they're actually pretty cute!"

Zhora: "I shall name you Grubby."

Xylia: "We have bugs?"

Xylia: "Can we eat them?"

Uh... yes... but just because you can, doesn't mean you should.

Elijah: "We should eat burgers instead of bugs!"

Jaxton: "Eat the bugs instead, I'm tired of cooking all the time since Servo is taking up other skills."

Someone's a grumpy old man.

Speaking of Servo's other skills, he's getting really good at the mixology skill! He's almost at level 10 already! He recently purchased the Savant reward trait from the rewards store, so now he will gain skill 25% faster with all skills. This will be a huge help in him reaching level 10 at every skill.

Happy birthday, Elijah!

Elijah: "Happy birthday to me! Yay!"

Elijah aged up into a child! He's so adorable!

Elijah: "Ugh, I'm gonna be the next heir, aren't I?"

Yep, you're stuck with these crazy sims.

Your turn next, Deven!

Deven: "But I don't wanna age up!"

Happy birthday, Deven!

Elijah: "Here's some confetti for daddy and mommy getting old!"

Paisley: "Hey, I'm not old!"

Happy birthday, Paisley!

Deven aged up into an adult!

So did Paisley!

Deven: *Sigh* "Now I'm just a middle-aged dad."

Deven: "Wait... I'm a middle-aged dad?!"

I think Deven is on the verge of a mid-life crisis already.

Paisley: "Not me, I still look hot."

At least someone is happy about aging up.

I don't know what these neighbors are doing, but the eco-footprint is decreasing rapidly by the second! Just when we were so close to getting a 'green' eco-footprint! The Parsons are now doing whatever they can to increase it, such as adding eco upgrades to all the appliances, and purchasing extra solar panels.

I even had to get rid of the fireplace. Everyone was not happy about it.

Paisley: "Hey there, little guy!"

Paisley: "I heard my mom named you 'Grubby'! That's the perfect name for you!"

Paisley: "Maybe if I make a Smog Vacuum using the fabricator, that will increase the eco-footprint again."

Elijah: "I wanted to do my homework in the bathroom, but grandma is in there instead."

Deven: "Did I just hear 'homework'? Does my son need some expert help from a genius?"

Yes, can you please go find a genius?

Paisley: "I'm almost finished making the smog vacuum."

The fabricator is hard at work.

Paisley: "Argh, hello there, matey."

It's talk like a pirate day, she's not insane... well... she is insane...

Townie: "Ahoy there, matey!"

Paisley: ♫ "A sailor went to sea, sea, sea, to see what he could see, see, see, but all that he could see, see, see, was the bottom of the deep blue sea, sea, sea!" ♫

Townie: "That was beautiful."

Paisley: "Since I impressed you, now you must do a mandatory interview about the appliances in your home. How many eco upgrades have you added to your home?"

Townie: "About one or two... I think."

Paisley: "You're gonna need to add more, the eco-footprint is decreasing rapidly."

Paisley is trying everything she can to convince the townies to be more eco-friendly. She worked way too hard to make Evergreen Harbor a better place for these townies to mess it all up.

Paisley: "I think I finally got through to someone! Now, time to rally some voters in the community space in Conifer Station."

Paisley: "Hey, everyone! Aren't eco-friendly appliances the best?!"

*Crickets*

Where are all the sims around here?

Welp... I found one sim dumpster diving.

Oh, here comes another sim!

Tina: "Hey, you wanna fight?"
Paisley: "Say what?"

Oh, snap!

I guess 'Roughhousing Encouraged' is one of the neighborhood action plans in Conifer Station.

Paisley: "I kicked your butt! That's what you get, stupid townie."

Tina: "Oww!"

Tina: "My head!"

Paisley: "Don't mess with me!"

Tina: "I see stars... nothing but stars..."

Paisley: "I tend to have that effect on sims."

Looks like Paisley isn't gonna get anywhere with these townies today.

The Parsons decided to travel down to the community space in Port Promise!

Paisley: "I love it here!"

Elijah: "Wow! This place is awesome!"

Paisley: "Hey, guys! Aren't eco-friendly appliances awesome!"

Paisley couldn't pass up the opportunity to rally up more townies.

Deven: "Do we have to listen to another speech about the environment?"

Servella: "This is making me want to move to Sixam."

Elodie: "Maybe if I close my eyes, her speech will go by faster."

Paisley: "Youuu guys! Come over here!"

Paisley: "If we all add eco upgrades to our homes, Evergreen Harbor will be 'green' in no time! Isn't that amazing?"

Just grin and bear, y'all.

Deven: *I wonder if the candles behind me are edible.*

Did you learn nothing from the last time you were here? They're not edible!

Paisley: "Next topic: dew collectors! Do you know how much water could be saved if you just invested in a few of those things?"

Elodie: *I'm about to head to work early just so I don't have to put up with this speech anymore.*

There's a lot of delicious fizzy juice being sold!

Deven: "Did someone say 'fizzy juice'?"

Townie: "Fizzy juice, come get some delicious fizzy juice!"

Paisley: "What do you say, guys? Have I influenced you to have a positive impact on the environment, or what?"

Kaylee: "I can't take it anymore."

Lauryn: "Me neither. Wanna go play on the jungle gym instead?"

Zhora: "Ha-ha! No one listened to Paisley's speech!"

Paisley: "Why do I even bother? It's like these sims want to be choking on barely breathable air or something."

Paisley: "Maybe I'll buy some fizzy juice to cheer me up."

Zhora: "Do you sell cheesy eyeballs? Those used to be my favorite food back on Sixam!"

Merchant: *Gasp!* "Say what!?"

Elijah: "Maybe I'll be mommy's favorite if I recycle."

You're already the favorite.

Paisley: "I can't wait to try some of this kombucha!"

Zhora: "Why would you buy that? Kombucha is gross!"

Paisley: "No it's not! And I heard what you said about my speech, too."

Paisley: "I'll have you know that the eco-footprint around here is decreasing rapidly."

Zhora: "Does it look like I care?"

Deven: "I'd rather drink bathroom tap water than kombucha again."

Elijah decided to purchase a focused fizzy juice.

Elijah: "I can't wait to drink it when I age up!"

For some reason, kids can't drink fizzy juice. I didn't think it was the mixology type of fizzy juice, I thought it was like soda, but I guess I was incorrect.

Paisley: "Oh well, that just means more fizzy juice and kombucha for me!"

Paisley: *Gulp*

Zhora: "These candles are beautiful, you think I can have a free sample?"

Merchant: "Ma'am, that's not how this works. I can't give you a free sample of a candle."

Zhora: "What if you made them edible?"

What's with y'all and edible candles?!

Aww, aren't they the cutest?

Lauryn: "Kaylee keeps hogging the jungle gym, what should we do?"

Servella: "Push her off."

What?!

Elijah: "I like the sound of that."

Townie: *Gasp!* "These children are pure evil!"

Paisley: "Were you listening to my speech before, babe?"

Deven: "Oh... uh... yeah, it was great, babe."

Paisley: "Do you agree with all the points I made?"

Deven: "Yeah... totally..."

Deven: "Uh... what were the points you made, again?"

Paisley: "You weren't listening, were you?"

Deven: *I'll just pretend I can't hear her.*

Paisley: "Ooh, is that some flirty fizzy juice you're drinking?"

Deven: "It is... you wanna go by the dumpsters later and... 'dumpster dive'?"

Zhora: "Dumpster diving? That sounds awesome! I'm in!"

Deven: "Oh... uh... great..."

Paisley, what the heck are you doing?!

Paisley: "Sorting through the recyclables in this bin."

Do you really think that's necessary to do in a public area?

Paisley: "You think Evergreen Harbor got to the beautiful state it's in by me not sorting through the recyclables in public areas? Zip it."

Lauryn: "I love the jungle gym!"

Elijah: "Me too!"

Elijah: "Whoops!"

Lauryn: "Elijah! Did you just kick my hand?!"

Elijah: "Sorry, didn't mean to... or did I?"

Lauryn: "I'll get him back for this."

Elijah: "Uh oh..."

Paisley: "Hmm... let me see, what else can I do to rally up some voters? I guess I can get mom to help me ambush some sims."

Zhora: "She really won't drop it with the rallying, will she?"

Townie: "What do you guys want?"

Paisley: "Go ahead, mom, ambush her and tell her about the neighborhood action plans we want enforced."

Zhora: "You wanna buy some candles? Well, you've come to the right place!"

Paisley: "Uh... what she meant to say was, without repealing the 'We Wear Bags' neighborhood action plan and enforcing a new, more eco-friendly action plan, Evergreen Harbor could suffer severely."

Zhora: "Nope, what I meant to say was this marketplace has everything! From candles to fizzy juice to kombucha, it's got it all!"

Paisley: "Don't listen to her, listen to me instead."

Townie: "I don't wanna listen to either of you! Get out of my way before I knock you out of my way instead!"

Paisley: "Wow, you did such a great job mom, I'm so proud of you! I'm totally not being sarcastic at all or anything, hehehe!"

Zhora: "Gee, thanks! I should have been a saleswoman instead!"

After trying everything to increase the eco-footprint all day and failing miserably, the smog vacuum seems to be Paisley's final resort to increase the eco-footprint.

She's vacuuming up all of the smog... wait... there is no smog.

Uh... Paisley?

Are you trying to vacuum up the sun's rays instead?

Paisley: "Yep, and then I'll unleash it on all of these townies to spark a light of common sense in their brains."

Jaxton: "How was the marketplace? I wanted to go too, but I was at work."

Servella: "It was fun, but I wouldn't recommend going out anywhere in public with this crazy family if you don't want to be completely embarrassed and annoyed."
