The Pause Legacy - Chapter 9: Oh Yeah, I'm Awesome

Welcome back. Previously Eleni, Isla and Bon grew up and had an heir vote, and other things happened...I kind of forget. Oh well let’s not waste time as various egos must be seen to...

Jude: “What? I’m awesome.”

Onto the winner of the heir vote....it wasn’t Jude.....Jude: “If I was in it, I somehow still would have won.”

It’s Bon!

He won with a tally of 13 votes, the girls just can’t resist him.

Coming in second with 5 votes was Eleni. She’s looking none too pleased either. I never really got around to mapping out a life plan for her (aside from the acquisition of plants and butterflies) so she can hang out in the legacy house for a while.

Which suits her fine for now.

And coming in last place with an estimated zero votes, Isla.

Come on people, where is the love?

Isla invited over Maloney Yellowpants, the firefighter. Yeah that’s right. She’s hooking up with a fireman. Who’s the loser now?

Incidentally, I finally found out that his real name is Federico Marion. Which is cool. Now I can finally stop calling him that ridiculous nickname.

Isla wasted no time using her wiles.

..and Maloney....umm....Federico was smitten.

Federico Marion is a pretty cool name, but I’m so used to the nickname I’ve been giving him, so I took him to town hall and legally changed his name to Maloney Yellowpants.

They became engaged and they moved out together. Best of luck future Mrs. Yellowpants.

Myra: “Best $10,000 we ever spent”

I guess. It’s a huge time waster though, and nothing gets done.

What? It makes you levitate? This I did not know!

Myra: “Huh, what’s happening?”

Myra: “Ah! If anyone looks in the window they’ll see up my skirt!”

Jude received a promotion is now the mayor! He really looks the part.

Jude: “Thanks. I’ve been working on my ¾ posture stance and looking decisively into the future pose.”

With more responsibilities come more fundraisers...

...and with fundraiser come annoying fatties asking about the economy.

Fatty: “Mayor Pause, I’m worried about the economy. What are you going to do about work and social opportunities? Some of them are ridiculous.”

Jude: “Why sure I agree to whatever you just said about your various petty problems. Donation can be left with me.”

It really helps your public image when the head reporter is your baby brother.

Jude: “You should write about the time when I went into enemy lines and stopped a scheme to take the world hostage with a new generation of nuclear weapons.”

Roy: “That’s the plot to all the Metal Gear Solid games.”

Jude: “I’ve heard it both ways.”

Fatty: “Hi again Mayor Pause. I have another question.”

Jude: “You do realize I have no interest in your pitiful life whatsoever right?”

I found this plant in the inventory and don’t remember buying it at all....till I read that Eleni stole it from the museum!

Myra: “Aww look at that gorgeous plant Eleni bought for me.”

Reword that sentence Myra. She BROUGHT it for you.

Hey! I sent you to the cemetery to find moths, not steal stone benches.

Eleni: “I’m not stealing it. I’m just taking it home to see whether it goes well with our garden.”

I didn’t realize sims could autonomously steal. I’m going to need to keep a closer eye on her.

Edmund is always hanging around the large TV. He’s not a very interesting ghost. He doesn’t haunt anything and no one is scared of seeing him anymore.

Eleni: “I saw a nice statue in the cemetery today. I’m thinking of putting it next to your grave.”Edmund: “You’d steal the grim reaper’s statue!”Eleni: “Did I say steal anywhere in what I just said?”

I got a little bored with the house so I went and checked on some other sims. Dion’s wife Jackie was pregnant again and down at the city hall joining a protest. Jude was there as well.

What are they protesting about?

Jude: “I have no idea, but I wish they would stop. It’s very hard to get into my office.”

In the background I found Shanna lurking. She does that a lot.

Jude: “Hey Shanna, how’s your life without Roy but some illegitimate children going? Is it as empty as it sounds? Do you still live with all your brothers and sisters? Did you know that Roy got married and is VERY happy?”

Shanna: “I hope that soon the town impeaches you and decides to hurl you into the sun. Hold on to that thought, some nerd just looked at me funny.”

Shanna: “OHMYGODLOOKOUTBEHINDYOUALEVELEIGHTDRAGONISEATINGYOURMOTHER!!!!”

Teen: “What, where! Mummy!”

Shanna: “Ah, that will hold me over until I can get some tears out of him. Now where did that dork Jude go?”

Jude: “Yeah no burglars! Crime rate is too high! Answer for your mistakes, mayor!”

Jude, you’re the mayor!

Jude: “Damn these protests get so catchy.”

Hey Bon, it’s your birthday today.

Bon: “Don’t remind me. I’m just hoping Dad doesn’t make a big fuss and invite all his friend over.”

Don’t worry. He understands that you like to be left alone.

Jude: “Yep, my house. It’s going to be huge! Ladies don’t forget your bikinis.”

Bon: “Stupid Dad inviting over his stupid friends for a stupid birthday party. I could be writing my novel right now.”

Shari: “Hi Bon, we’re so psyched about your birthday. We’re all going to give you birthday hugs!”

Bon: “Well, well...maybe it won’t be so bad after all.”

I swear this was taken at the wrong place and time. He is NOT attempting to grab his sister’s boobs.

Bon: “Another wish......maybe they can all hug me at the same time!”

Bon....you grew up with that as your everyday clothes.....why?

For once, Jude’s reaction to birthday celebrations is appropriate.

I am not 100% sure that he’s a mooch. We’ll see next chapter. Not the most flattering picture but it’s great nonetheless.

Bon: “Woah, I should have wished for Aunt Mathilda to have a hair rescue.”

Yikes! Sorry Mathilda, aging did not go well for you did it.

Sorry about the legacy hair thing. This is the first time you’ve ever scowled. You should be thanking me.

Bon: “So where’s that hug I was promised.”

Danita: “Sure, but let’s go somewhere not so crowded.”

Hohohohoho. At the end of the party Danita had moved in.

Now that Bon was an adult it was time to get started on that LTW of star news anchor. No better place to find dirt than in some random sim’s rubbish bin.

Bon: “Did that FWD just run over a cyclist? What a scoop!”

Jude is getting old.

Jude: “Don’t worry. I’m too smoking hot to look old. I’ll look exactly the same.”

NO! Say it ain’t so!

Is a purple snakeskin jacket inappropriate enough?

The two girls (Dalma and Carrie) that the evil woman Shanna had with Edmund (the founder) grew into teens.

Edmund’s genes must be giving succulent lips to his daughters.

Myra got promoted and now wears some sexy leathers to work. She’s also been working on her career walk. Haughty and avoiding eye contact.

Danita walks past next with a baby belly. I got no info pop-up that this has happened and I do not have an autonomous woohoo mod. This baby better be Bon’s.

In case it was Bon’s I married them in the bedroom so the kids would have the Pause name. I was too lazy to do a proper ceremony.

Danita: “Check it out the ladies of the town who told me to take my eyes off their husbands. I’m married, I’m now one of you.”

Hmm I probably should have found out that she was the town bike before moving her in. She better behave, unlike a certain first generation wife.

I thought Myra had woken up to congratulate the, but she was just getting old.

Oh Myra....I feel for you.

Baby time!

Ah no! Some creepy descendant of a Goth is hanging outside the hospital and so is Kingfisher! Please don’t let any of them be the daddy.

Crisis averted. The father’s Bon! Phew.

Danita came out with 2 girls, Monique and Jacqueline. Bon looks pretty unexcited about the whole birth thing. I was unsure about the father for the whole pregnancy because not once did Bon have a want to do anything about the babies.

Bon: “Hi Eleni, who’s that meant to be?”

Eleni: “It’s you Bon.”

Bon: “Really?! Ummm, thanks I guess.”

Horray! Story-teller did not break up the Yellowpants and they had their first daughter Angelica on the same day.

After their birth no-one in the family seemed to care about the baby girls. The baby sitter was constantly there and even he wasn’t keen.

Babysitter: “It’s not my fault. I changed them already and they are still smelly. I did not sign up for the twin non-stop poopers!”

Yeah that sucks and it happens a lot. I need to max-motives glitchy babies quite a bit.

Monique grew up looking exactly like Bon ( :D ) except she has those stupid eyes that Jude got from Pauline. They are ugly and I wanted them gone from my legacy. Why couldn’t she have Danita’s eyes? *cries*

I have no idea where Jacqueline got those eyes from but they are growing on me. They are this wierd copper colour. Wait a minute, Maloney Yellowpants has copper eyes. Suspicious! She grew up evil and already looks the part.

Unfortunately no-one in the family is really taking care of them. I freqently find Monique sleeping on the floor.

Danita is always to busy showing off her guns...

...and Bon is busy trying to defend himself emotionally from Eleni who has recently become very cruel to everyone.

I thought I saw Danita flirting with this fat man. When I got to them they were dancing and I have no proof. I’ll have to let it slide for now.

Fatty: “I know this is a campaign fundraiser, and I’m looking to raise some funds of my own. If you don’t give me $50,000 I’m going to tell your husband that you were trying to get with me.”

Danita: “I wasn’t flirting with you! We were just dancing.”

Fatty: “Yeah sure, and I’m wearing underwear. I’ve heard stories, I know what you want.”

Danita: “I’m happily married! Get lost or I’ll have my father-in-law make inappropriate comments about your weight.”

Jude: “Hah! Look at that fat guy try to mooch money off my daughter-in-law. Who are you again, you look familiar. Are you one of my secretaries?”

Dalma: “Jude, it’s me Dalma. I’m your sister remember.”Jude: “Oh right, the spawn of Shanna.”Dalma: “How much do I need to contribute for you not to call me that?”Jude: “How much does a new boat cost? I’d like one of those.”

Alto: “Mayor Pause, I’m Luke Alto. I just wanted to thank your son for introducing me to one of his young and curvy friends. I’m in love, and to think I was ready to die alone. Send my congratulations to Bon for the birth of his first children.”

Jude: “I have grandkids!? Oh yeah, I remember Bon mentioning something like that.”

Alto: “After finally meeting my wife and having a child I’m all about family and your family is beautiful. You may not know this but I am pretty wealthy and would like to make a generous donation.”

Jude: “Really? I had...NO...idea how rich you were when I invited you to my campaign fundraiser.”

Danita had to stop dancing with the fatty to expel most of her insides. Baby? Hohohoho.

Before we leave this chapter let’s see how some spares are going.

These three strapping boys are the children of Roy and Mathilda (obsoletedingbat)

I couldn’t be more happier the way they turned out. The oldest, Mikel, is an exact replica of Roy.

Roy got old, it sucks. Somehow even though they are EA named, they all ended up with nice names.

They are the most adorable family.

Which cannot be said for Dion’s family. The boys came out....alright.....with Pauline’s fishlips still, but the girls had no chance at all.

No chance at all.

Until next time!
