The Russo Legacy

Chapter 1.3

Welcome back to the Russo legacy. Thanks for reading the past chapters—wait, what? You skipped the intro and the first two chapters? Well, I think you should go and read those in order to get up to date…silly.

Now that I’m done pretending to be Steve from Blue’s Clue’s, let’s say hello to the new teenager in the house! Last chapter I left you all on a cliffhanger! (Actually it was more like a hill-hanger), so this is Lyra in her new teenage form.

She rolled Knowledge, which I thought was pretty hilarious, and she also wants to be a Game Designer, just like Feebs. That’s not the only thing similar about them, though. Lyra could be Phoebe’s twin. They look exactly the same minus the skin and eye colors.

I couldn’t resist, okay? I had to make the PJ theme go through to their teen years!

Plus Robin had a want to buy new clothes…and surprisingly, Pleasure sims are really hard to keep gold because all of their wants are so random and worth so little….then again, that’s why they’re Pleasure seekers. They don’t really know what they want.

Is it me, or does Phoebe look a little drunk?

“You just took the picture right as I blinked! I would NEVER get drunk!”

Will you stop playing with fire, you pyromaniac.“I must learn how to do this!”I think you might have to go back to Twikii Island in order to learn the rest of it. Because I don’t see a skill bar above your head.“But if I don’t figure this out, then I won’t be able to—ugh, never mind.”

Stop being so vague!

She’s still adorable!

Look at her, making a nice little snowman all by herself. She looks so determined.“I heard that if you build a snowman, a penguin will arrive.”

*passes out then regains consciousness* KEEP. BUILDING.

Meanwhile, Iris just got back from taking a spin in Beulah the Car…“Uh…Lyra, could you tell me what your sister is doing?”“She’s still trying to master her fire dance.”Robin: “I almost had it that time!”Iris: “Ugh…honestly Robin, be careful.”

There’s snow around so she won’t die or anything….much to my dismay.

So are you a noob yet?“What?”Uh, for the Gamer job. Honestly, if anyone can please explain how that is a job…I understand the Game Designer aspect. But everything else sounds weird. Button masher? What the—“Er, Jared?”Sorry…rambling. So did you get the job?“Yep! And I will be working with my big sissy Phoebe! It’s gonna be so fun!”

Her optimism makes me feel as if anything is possible…like world peace and flying.

And now! Our very first in-depth artistic…uh…description session!

“So, what do you think?”

In a way…you could look at it as the butterfly going towards the flower…but also in a way…you could look at it as leaving the flower. This represents the ongoing struggle of the Loss and Reuniting of two beings.

“Oh…I thought it was just a nice picture representing springtime.”

That too, Feebs. That, too.

Meanwhile…

“Look, can you just wait for another year? By then paying you back will be—look…I’ll need to talk to you about this later.”

Who was that?“Uh…the Repo Man.”The Repo man doesn’t make call people. Plus you guys pay all the bills around here.“Jared, just stay behind the camera like you belong and out of my business.”Fine….rude.

Elijah Wood Penguin! Welcome back! Lyra thought it’d be nice if you had a friend to talk to while you visited in the winter. So she built this Snowman. “Brrrrllll!”Ah, yes. That Serena Williams sure does know how to play tennis.“Brrrrlrlrlr!”Oh…uh…you were talking privately with the Snowman? Sorry, Sir Mister Elijah Wood Penguin. My apologies.

*backs away slowly while bowing*

“Aww! Who’s a cute penguin? You are! I hope you come here as much as possible. And I’ll build you a whole bunch of snowmen that you can talk to! Okay?”“Brrrrrll!”“Heeheee!”

Well…now that I’ve died of cute overload…let’s look at something that should help me regain my composure.

Gahh!“Very funny, Jared.”Why…ahahahaha!! You look so weird.“Your mother’s weird.”…Yeah? Well…dangit…can’t say anything about your mom. Because she’s a lovely person. UNLIKE YOU.“I’m sorry, did you say something? I stopped listening after you inhaled to start talking.”

……*mutters angrily*

“Oh, Joe…I’m so happy I chose you over that stupid Benjamin Long.”“Heh…me too.”“He really was stupid. And imagine all the problems he would have brought to me. What with all those people after him.”“Stop dwelling on him, doll face. We’ve got our lovely daughters and a nice home, nice jobs…he’s a loser.”

Phoebe: *interrupts* “Who’s a loser?”Oh, this guy named—Iris: “Haha! Your father when he tries to thumb wrestle. He just ends up holding my hand.” *mumbles* “Don’t tell the girls about Ben, Jared!”

Sorry. Didn’t know he was a family secret.

“Who’s laughing now, Jared? I’m an overachiever!”I could care less, honestly.“Do you even have a job?”…My job is to make sure you don’t do anything too stupid, like trying to cook salmon when you only have experience making cereal.“Yes, but do you get paid for that?”….SHUTUP.“I win!”

“Okay. Now, Robin. I said this to Phoebe, I’m saying this to you…. Stay away from photo booths, double beds, and cars…and hot tubs when you get to college.”“GROSS, Daddy! Ew, I’m not talking to you about this!”“Well, college boys have urges—”“Heheh…”“Why are you laughing? This is serious, Robin.”“You said ‘urges’.”

Nice mature talk, eh?

Phoebe: “All right, girls. We’ll be going to college soon. Now, I thought Acedemie Le Tour would be a nice place to go. Is that alright?”Lyra: “Yep!”Robin: “Whatever…”“Okay. Good. And something else…let’s not try make the results of the heir poll drive a wedge between our relationships. We stay sisters no matter what, okay?”Lyra: “Okay!”

Robin: “As if…The one who wins this gets that Voodoo doll, the house, all the money, not to mention they get to have a family. There’s gonna be some jealousy.”Phoebe: “It’s not like Jared won’t make sure the spares get to have families, too.”“All I’m saying is, when I win…don’t be over here every single night because the house you two live at sucks.”Phoebe:”What makes you so sure you’re gonna win!? What if I win!”“Yeah, like that’s gonna happen!”*bicker bicker bicker*Lyra: “Girls….girls…?”

“Please stop arguing!”*Phoebe and Robin both shutup*“Whatever happens, happens. I won’t hate the sister who wins if I don’t. Besides…the spares don’t technically have to get old.”Robin: “So what?”Phoebe: “No, she’s right. Really, if you think about it, the life of a spare is pretty awesome. They don’t have to do anything until the Creator wants them to. They get to just chill out.”

Robin: “Whatever! I’m gonna win! I don’t care if I have to kill for it!”I can’t tell if she’s being facetious.Phoebe: “Okay, Robin. But deep down, you know being a spare wouldn’t be too bad.”Robin: “I’m going to win. And I’m getting that Voodoo doll from Daddy!”Lyra: “You’re the only one who wants it. I find it kinda scary…”

Poor girls. I plan on playing the spares, hopefully. Or just saying “they died off screen”…heh…

Later that night…Robin works later than everyone.

Ew, Robin. Alvin Futa?

So, you and Alvin are going out?“What? No. I just wanted my first kiss.”So you used him.“Yep.”In pretty much the same way that that Andre kid used you?“No. I didn’t do this for a bet. Just to make me platinum.”Yeah. Obviously you learn nothing from past experiences…

“Phoebe! I missed you! I haven’t seen you since you went on Vacation a week ago.”“Yeah, I know. I’m sorry, Ocean. It’s just been busy around here and everything.”“Oh, hey, no worries. So how was Twikii Island?”“It was really fun, actually. Maybe when we’re at college we’ll go for spring break, or something?”“Excellent.”

I don’t like how he said excellent just now. Ocean, you’re a good kid. Don’t make me want to punch you.

Um…how did you get out of Joe’s inventory?“…..”You look kinda depressed.“…..”Alright, fella. Just stop freakishly appearing out of nowhere….like on kitchen counters.“………..meh.”

O_o The doll just said “meh”. Joe’s insanity is becoming contagious. I need to warn the townsfolk.

The next day was a serious one!

“Ben, get out of here!”“Nice to see you too, Joe. Long time since we…chatted.”“There’s nothing to talk about.”“Oh, but there is…you made a deal.”

“Ben, I told you I didn’t want to be a part of it anymore. I have a family now and I’m not part of that scene anymore.”“Joe…you stole the family that lives underneath that roof. You stole it from me. Iris should have been my wife. Those girls should have been my daughters.”(Technically…they wouldn’t be…ah, you know what? I’ll just be quiet…)“Ben, please. Just stay away.”“Alright, Joe. Alright. I’ll stay away from you. I’ll stay away from Iris. I promise.”“Thank you.”

Uh, Joe….he didn’t say…never mind. Staying quiet.

“I’ll tell the guys downtown Joey the Stealer said hello, though. Maybe that will refresh their memories of some activities from the past. Maybe they’ll finally leave me alone.”“Just go, Ben. Your threats don’t scare me.”“Maybe so. But I know about…fifteen guys who will want you for Cowplant Milk. I’ll see how I feel about bringing your name up in conversation tomorrow night. Oh, and congratulations on your daughters getting into Acedemie Le Tour. Right near Downtown. I’m sure they’ll have fun.”“ How do you know—you stay away from them!”“See you around, Joe.”

…

Well, that’s a much better cliff hanger if I do say so myself.

The girls are at Academie Le Tour now!
