Chapter 318

Kira: "Hey, look at this social bunny post! It's so funny, I had to bend my wrist the wrong way just to show you!"

Juniper: "Oof... that looks painful."

Roxxi: "Hahaha! I love the jack-in-the-box!"

Zeke: "Ugh, I can't believe I have to come home to this house full of crazy sims everyday."

Zeke: "Why did I have to be the heir?"


Once again, Servella has broken into the house at 3AM to watch Servo knit.

Servella: "I didn't break in, I have a key. Forget about me, worry about the sim who took a slice of the designated birthday cake out of the fridge instead."

WHAT?! Who did this?!

Servella: "It wasn't me, or anything. I'll be on my merry way back to Sixam, now."
 
Zeke: "I'm a genius, I found the smartest way to help Jeanette learn to crawl."

I can't wait to see this one.

Zeke: "Come on, Jeanette! Crawl to the bottle! You can do it!"

You know what? I'm not saying I support it, but that's pretty smart. I'm surprised.

Nathaniel is catching up to Jeanette's milestones. He sat up for the first time!


Juniper: "While your brother and sister learn their milestones, why don't we teach you some manners?"

Roxxi: "But, that's boring, grandpa!"

Hooray! Nathaniel is crawling! He quickly overtook Jeanette in the milestone department.

Hooray! Servo was promoted in the doctor career! Now, he only needs one more promotion until he reaches the top of the career.

I think the Yarnys like the garden.

Kira: "Those things are creepy."

Hooray! Jeanette is now crawling!

Now, both of the twins have reached most of their main milestones!

Mochi thought he could scratch the bookshelf while everyone was distracted by the twins reaching their milestones. Stop that!

Dimitri: "I heard Zeke doesn't want to be the heir anymore, so I'm here cleaning up dishes hoping you'll switch him out with me instead."

Angie: "Aww, man. I can't believe Dimitri is here trying to become the heir, too."

Don't worry, Dimitri will never be heir. Neither will you.

This is where all the legacy spares go to hangout; by the dumpster.

Pancake: "This thing has been following me all day."

Juniper: "Let's see if I can teach you to stand before you age up."

Success! Yay, Jeanette!

Happy birthday, Roxxi!

(Why do I accidentally keep missing the shot of my sims blowing out their birthday candles lately?!)

Pancake is very much in the 'birthday spirit'.

Happy birthday, Nathaniel!

Happy birthday, Jeanette! Mochi, get out of the way!

Roxxi aged up into a child!

Nathaniel aged up into a toddler!

So did Jeanette!

Jeanette is Zeke's twin and Nathaniel is Kira's twin.

Roxxi: "I don't look like anyone but myself. You can't clone greatness."

Pancake: "These laundry piles are in the way of my sleeping spot."

Oh gosh, the laundry piles up so fast here. It's a nightmare!

Servo recently knitted these octopi and they're the cutest things ever, especially the botched one.

Juniper: "Could you tell Servo to stop knitting and fix this sink? I can't do this myself!"

Lady has been dropping golden poops non-stop. Should I be impressed or concerned?

It's Harvestfest time! 🍁🍂🦃

Servo is back down at work at the hospital.

He needs to successfully diagnose and treat 5 patients to reach the top of this career.

I'm sure he can get it all done today!

Townie: "Ugh, I'm in labor!"

Not now! Servo needs to diagnose and treat patients, not deliver a baby!

Hooray! After diagnosing and treating 5 patients, Servo has been promoted to 'Chief of Staff' and has completed the doctor career! I'm so proud of him! Now, he can move onto his next career: the acting career.

The satellite Servo invented has unlocked a special alien channel on the TV.

Tiffany: "It must be so cool to be an alien."
Servo: "It's even cooler being a robot, especially when you're not locked into a crazy, demanding family."

Roxxi: "I had a great first day at school today!"

That's rare. Normally, Parsons kids come home from school angry.

Jeanette: "Hahaha! I'm flying like an airplane!"
Juniper: "I'll just pretend my back isn't crying out for help right now."

Zeke is living his best life.

Pancake: "I've lived a long life, but it's time for me to go."

Nooooooo! Pancake!

Rest In Peace, Pancake Parsons. You were a wonderful, friendly dog. You will be dearly missed.

Servella: "This is so sad! Sims have a much longer lifespan on Sixam!"
Grim Reaper: "It's true. I only have to head over there a few times a year."

Stan: *Sobbing*

Maybe if you weren't stalking Servo all the time, you wouldn't have to be sad about witnessing a death.

Tiffany: "Finally! After spending day and night making bouquets, I have now made them all!"

Woohoo! Tiffany has made every single bouquet in the game! I'm pretty sure some of these are duplicates, but this is so exciting!

Servo is getting prepared for Harvestfest by making the turkey.

He's putting his entire soul into it.

The gnomes are here to celebrate, and they're already being judgemental by disapproving of dirty puddles.

The turkey is finished!

Jeanette: "I want the first plate of turkey!"
Nathaniel: "I love turkey!"

Kira: "This smells amazing!"

Jeanette: "The turkey is yummy!"

Roxxi: "It really is! I can't believe you made this all by yourself, grandma!"

Tiffany: "I didn't- uh... I mean, thanks! I really outdid myself, huh?"

Zeke: "Hehe... it's funny when sims lie."
Kira: "Seriously, babe?"

Tiffany: "What? You've never lied to your granddaughter about cooking a turkey before?"

Kira: "I can't say that I have."

Juniper: "Who needs turkey when you can have some sunshine instead?"

Tiffany: "Okay, I have a confession, honey. I lied about making the Harvestfest turkey... but I did, however, make every single bouquet imaginable. It took me an entire quarter of my life. Isn't that more impressive?"

Roxxi: "Not really."

Oh gosh, the gnomes and the Yarnys have teamed up! They're taking over the house!

Roxxi: "We have an entire gnome and Yarny army!"

Zeke: "Where did they all go?"

Mochi: "I could have sworn I just saw the kitchen being overrun by Yarnys and gnomes a few seconds ago..."

Smoothie: "It's the crazy taking hold!"

Oop- they're back!

Tiffany: "These gnomes and Yarnys are making me question my sanity... wait a minute... I do that everyday living in this house."

The Parsons decided to travel down to the park in Willow Creek!

Juniper: "It's so green here... just like me!"

Kira: "Ah! I just love the outdoors!"
Zeke: "I hate it! I'd rather kick the soccer ball indoors like I always do!"

Roxxi: "There's a fountain here!"

Juniper: "I'm gonna make a wish and toss a simoleon in there!"

What did you wish for?

Juniper: "Not to get away from these crazy sims, or anything..."

Would y'all pick up the pace?

Zeke: "What a beautiful fountain. It'd be a shame if someone... put soap in it... hehehe!"

Kira: *Gasp!* "You wouldn't dare!"

Zeke: "Mwahahahaha!"

Zeke: "One soapy fountain, coming up!"

Tiffany: "What kind of menace did I raise?"

Zeke: "AHAHAHAHA! I can't wait to annoy everyone with my prank!"

It's working!

Roxxi: "Hey, is that soap?"

Gosh, I didn't realize the impact would be this wild.

Zeke: "Don't you just love soapy fountains?"

Roxxi: "Hahaha! The fountain is so much more fun, now! Watch out, grandpa!"

Juniper: "Hey!"

Juniper: "Look out!"

Juniper: "A bubble tidal wave!"

Roxxi: "Hahaha! Grandpa!"

Jeanette: "I love the bubbles!"
Nathaniel: "Zzz..."

Looks like everyone wants in on the bubble fun!

Tiffany: "The bottom of my skirt is soaked, but it's worth it. Bubbles are the best!"

I guess Zeke's soapy prank backfired in a good way. Everyone loves the bubbles!

What a fun park day! Time to head home.

Back at home, poor Bonehilda has been dealing with the gnomes and Yarnys all day.

Bonehilda: "They're mocking me. I can't even clean with them all in the way!"

Nathaniel: "I don't like the Yarnys. Tell them to leave."

Since Servo is now an actor, he has joined an acting agency; Well Suited Talent Agency. Does that sound familiar from Piper's acting days?

His very first role is playing Sheriff Reynolds in the movie 'The Sheriff from Alpha Centauri'. His first task is researching the anger emotion by becoming angry and performing mean interactions. What better way to do that than by stopping and annoying a random townie?

Servo: "You think you're so important strolling around here in your fancy suit, don't you?"

Townie: "What did you just say?"

Servo: "You heard me."

Townie: "How dare you attack my fancy suit!"

Townie: "I'll have you know, I'm the assistant to the CEO of Llamacorn Industries!"

Servo: "i'M tHe AsSiStAnT tO tHe CEO- well, guess what? I could become the CEO of Llamacorn Industries tomorrow if I wanted to! Then, you'd be my assistant!"

This paparazzi is definitely trying to publish a bad story of Servo by taking pictures of him arguing with this townie.

Finally! Servo is angry. It took hours of arguing to get to this point!

Servo: "Where the heck did that guy go?"

Paparazzi: "Are you gonna fight him, Servo? Is it true that you go to anger management classes because you're such a loose cannon?"

Servo: "Your suit isn't even that fabulous. I give it a thumbs down."

Townie: "I bet Bonehilda would like my suit."

Servo: "HOW DARE YOU TALK ABOUT MY FIANCÈE!"

Oh, snap! This sim definitely took it too far by mentioning Bonehilda. If I were him, I'd leave before Servo gets enraged. At least Servo has successfully completed his acting task, now.

Zeke has so many trophies to display, now. He's so close to reaching the top of the athlete career!

Happy birthday, Zeke!

Happy birthday, Kira!

Zeke aged up into an adult!

So did Kira!

Kira: "I can already feel the effects of getting older. My back is hurting!"

It's the day after Harvestfest, which means the Parsons have to eat all the leftover turkey until it's all gone.

Zeke: "Not that we're complaining."

Servo's next task is to become friends with the director of the movie, so he invited her over. Let's hope she doesn't realise this family is cray cray and run for hills.

Servo: "Hey there, I'm Servo, the star of your next movie."

Zeke: "Don't get a big head, Servo. You may be a soon-to-be movie star, but you'll always be our butler first."

Servo: "Do you want a drink thrown in your face, too?"

It's Spooky Day time! 👻🎃🍬

Since Servo is busy memorising lines and knitting, these three have volunteered to paint the next mural for the collectable items room.

Servo: "You don't understand what it's like living here with these ungrateful sims, sweetie."

Servella: "Don't worry, dad. I made sure I plotted some sweet revenge on your behalf."

What does that mean...?

SERVELLA!

Tiffany: "Never fear..."

Tiffany: "The expensive bug fumigation device is here!"

Lady, don't sleep on the couch when you're filthy!

Oh my gosh, are you kidding me?!

Jeanette: "Peek-a-boo! Hahaha!"

Ooh, this ceramic llama is so pretty! Even though it's considered a 'botched' knitted item, it's still one of my favorites so far.

Jeanette: "I want some food from the food truck!"

Nathaniel: "I'll cook it!"

Nathaniel: "Here you go, a donut!"

Jeanette: "Yummy! Plastic!"

Lady! I know this was you because you keep dropping golden poops!

Happy birthday, Roxxi!

Happy birthday, Nathaniel!

Happy birthday, Jeanette!

Roxxi aged up into a teen!

Nathaniel aged up into a child!

So did Jeanette!

Jeanette: "Age me back!"

Kira: "Is that a stupid eyebrow ring I see, Roxxi?"

Roxxi: "I have no idea what you're talking about..."

Lady: *Howl* "I need a bath after jumping in toilet water puddles."

Kira: "Good luck with that, because I'm not doing it."

Tiffany: "Ah, another finished bouquet. Now, to scent it with a rare flower."

Uh... was that scented with a death flower, by any chance? It looks pretty... creepy.

Tiffany: "I think it was! I shouldn't have sniffed that bouquet!"

Tiffany: "Ergh... I don't feel so good..."

Tiffany: *Huff* "Bouquets scented with death flowers are meant to age a sim up..."

Tiffany, are you okay?!

Tiffany: "If I'm correct, the only possible lifestage after elder is-"

Tiffany! NOOOOOOOOOOO! Rest In Peace, Tiffany Parsons. You were a wonderful sim who loved gardening and making beautiful bouquets. You will be dearly missed.

Grim Reaper: "She lived by the flowers and died by the flowers."

Juniper: *Gasp!* "What's going on?!"

Kira: "Oh my gosh!"

Roxxi: *Gasp!* "Grandma?!"

It's a sad day in the Parsons household.

Juniper: "I... I can't believe this. My wife died doing what she did every single day of her life."

Poor Zeke heard the news at work and came straight home.

The Grim Reaper may have reaped a lot of Parsons souls, but at least he's trying to make up for it.

Roxxi: "This has been a crazy day, but no crazy day will ever be as crazy as this family."

True dat.

Zeke, do you really have to eat leftover Harvestfest turkey while directly blocking the TV?

It's Spooky Day! Servo is in the spooky spirit and is making some spooky cookies for breakfast.

Nathaniel: "I'm a spooky pumpkin!"

Roxxi: "I'm a hungry Grim Reaper!"

Kira: "I'm llama woman!"

Zeke: "Which means I'm forced to be llama man. It's no fair, I wanted to be a robot."

Jeanette: "I'm a princess!"

Juniper: "I've lived a long life, but it's time for me to go."

Juniper: "I'm off to be with the love of my life, Tiffany."

Noooooooo! Juniper!

Juniper: "Take care of my sunshines in a can for me."

Rest In Peace, Juniper Parsons. You were a wonderful, kind sim who was the first ever PlantSim in the family. You will be dearly missed.

Grim Reaper: "Wasn't I just here?"

Poor llama man and llama woman Zeke and Kira are crying their eyes out.

Servo: "On the bright side, at least everyone can eat these spooky cookies I made for breakfast."

Roxxi: "These spooky cookies are making my tummy hurt."

Nathaniel: "Now I know why you can't have sugar for breakfast."
Kira: "Told ya."

Roxxi: "Ah!"

Roxxi: "The spooky candy bowl scared the living daylights out of me!"

Nathaniel: "There's no time to waste, we need to go trick or treating ASAP!"

Roxxi: "You want even more sugar at this time of day?!"

Jeanette: "We're gonna have a horrible sugar rush crash later on."

Zeke: "Woah!"

Zeke: "What the heck was that?"

More importantly, where the heck are your teeth?!

The Parsons decided to travel down to the library in San Sequoia!

Jeanette: "Is that a puppet theatre I see?"

It sure is!

Looks like Jeanette is putting on a puppet show for everyone!

Stanley the Puppet: "Hello there, I'm Stanley the Puppet, and today we'll be enacting 'Search for the Notebook Snatcher', a drama."

Everyone is seated and ready!

May the Puppet: "Hey, Stanley. Have you seen my notebook? I can't find it anywhere!"
Stanley the Puppet: "Where's the last place you saw it?"

Roxxi: "Well, if she knew, it wouldn't be lost!"

Uh oh, there's swarms of fans and paparazzi approaching. They'd better not ruin the show!

May the Puppet: "I know I last saw it somewhere in school, I'm just not sure where."

May the Puppet: "Hmm... it's gotta be here somewhere."

Stanley the Puppet: "Uh... maybe you should check outside."

May the Puppet: "No! I just know it's here somewhere! This calls for a detective."

Servo: "I'm a former detective."

Stanley the Puppet: "Puppets only!"

Servo: "Alright then, suit yourself."

Vinny the Puppet: "Did someone call for a detective? I'm here to help solve the case of the missing notebook!"

Jeanette: "I hope you guys are enjoying the show!"

Jeanette: "Stay tuned for next week to find out who the notebook thief is!"

Servo: "Boo! Are you kidding me? She's gonna leave us on a cliffhanger?"

Vinny the Puppet: "Just kidding. I already know who the thief is."
Stanley the Puppet: "Uh... who is it, Detective Vinny?"

Vinny the Puppet: "Hmm..."

Vinny the Puppet: "Aha! The thief is me! I accidentally grabbed the wrong notebook the last time I was called here to search for an unimportant item! Case closed!"

Zeke: "Bravo, bravo!"
Nathanie: "That was awesome!"

Servo: "Spectacular! Wonderful! I've never seen a plot twist so intricate!"

Servo's stans are starting to swarm more and more.

Servella: "They're all in the way of the puppet show. I didn't even get to see the plot twist!"

Jeanette: "Maybe we can make them give us candy for free since we know Servo!"

Servella: "I already tried that, they have none!"

Jeanette: "Do you have any spooky day candy on you, by any chance?"

Servella: "I have this candy from Sixam!"

Jeanette: "I'll take it! Thanks, Servella!"

Nathaniel: "I think my tooth is loose from all the candy I've eaten today."

Nathaniel: "Hey! My loose tooth came out!"

The Parsons decided to leave the library since it's being swarmed by fans.

They went over to the movie theatre to watch 'Greg's Revenge', a scary movie.

Zeke: "Eugh! That movie was horrifying, I'll be having nightmares for weeks!"

Servo: "What kind of horror movie was that?"
Roxxi: "A boring one."

Kira: "I liked it."
Roxxi: "Ugh, mom! You're stinky!"

Jeanette: "Was that supposed to be scary?"

After watching the movie, a notification popped up that the Festival of Snow is in town, so you know what that means!

Time for Servo to collect more Simmi capsules!

Yamachan: "Why does Servo never hangout with me anymore?"

For once, these fireworks didn't scare the living daylights out of me when they went off.

That was horrible. The vending machine items got stuck 3,682 times and Servo collected nothing new.

The cats love sleeping outside for some reason, even when it's freezing cold.

Today is the beginning of winter.

You wouldn't be able to tell, since it doesn't snow in San Sequoia.

Roxxi: "Good. Snow is, like, so Newcrest."
