Ryleen had to remark on how much time had flown. Esma, who had just felt so young, was already leaving the household. It was harder to say goodbye this time as it was sinking it that already things were coming to an end. Ryleen would be done with her part, and it would be more than time then for the family to find a home in another location.
Blake, Miles, and Emily constantly have trouble getting to and from school. If they somehow manage to get on the bus to school, then something goes wrong and they aren't able to get on to go home. I've taken to watching all the children as they travel around and teleport anyone who gets stuck or lost as it really began to affect their performances and free time. I think the main problem is that the house isn't attached to a main road. It takes everyone too long to file out and run up the path to where the bus waits behind the wall.
Crazy, chaotic days means everyone ages up faster than it already feels. The older triplets became teenagers, and Ryleen grew that much closer to a significantly emptier household.
I thought it was nice to let the older three spend some time with their counterpart of the younger three.
Especially because it was also time for Tallis, Allura, and Blaine to grow older. Normally the children are spread out enough in ages so that there's enough beds upstairs, but with two sets of triplets this wasn't the case. Thankfully, there was no longer a need for the nursery. It got converted to an extra bedroom and bathroom combination so that Tallis, Allura, and Blaine had their own little corner on the second floor while Blake, Miles, and Emily had free run of the third floor.
I realized here that Tallis' eyes weren't shown properly in any of the pictures. He has the same green eyes Allura and Blaine have.
Getting the kids to and from school got even more hectic. They can not get through the doors without piling up on each other.
That's nothing to say of the chaos of feeding everyone while also making sure their homework gets done. Ryleen can barely get away from the stove.
Miles, Tallis, and Blaine thought the best place to hang out was the downstairs bathroom.
I can hardly keep bookworm Allura away from all the novels in the house. I contemplated long and hard over who would be heir between Lydia, Esma, Emily, and her, and I tried to convince myself away from her due to the fact that she's basically in the same position Genevieve was. However, I can't help but really like her, and her traits are decent. Emily's are mostly fine as well, but both Lydia and Esma ended up with a bunch of problematic ones that make them harder to control. It's usually easier to go with one of the younger daughters too.
Miles practiced his magic while Blaine refused to sit down by his sister as she watched sappy romance shows.
Tallis then got her to free the television up as Emily and him played tag outside on the one side of the house where there's next to no room to run around. Gotta love sim logic.
It was for the best they were on that side of the yard though. Blake was on the other side skinny dipping in the hot tub.
There was another pool party at Darius' house. It's weird that it's the vampires throwing all the outside shindigs.
The weather cooperated, but most everyone stayed inside- or at least away from the pool. Miles got Homer, who had also come, on a long conversation about magic and the similar powers the two shared.
Ryleen and Tallis tossed around a football in the backyard. Unfortunately for poor Tallis, Ryleen was far too eager. She kept pelting him with it at a high speed, which somehow flies in sim-verse as being okay.
Blake was the only one who bothered getting into the water, and that made him a bit sad. He did, however, get a nice tan almost instantly. It's probably because he also spent so much time sitting naked in the hot tub.
The party ended without anyone dying this time around, and the next day things were back to normal. Ryleen went to the alchemy shop to see if there were any supernatural potions seeing as she didn't have enough time to search out the ingredients to make them herself, and she ran into her grandparents. Lynette had finally become an Adult, although she still has 100+ days before she gets through that stage too. Yeah, this couple is going to be hanging around for quite a while more.
I'm on Team Allura (Gosh she's just so much like Genevieve) & Team Lydia.
ReplyDeletec; Nice to FINALLY see Tallis' eyes! The youngest triplets really are like Genevieve and her brother's.
