Tifani Triumph: Architecture Years Part 3/Intelligence Years Part 1/Other Houses

This week has been a tough on for the Almighty Ruler of Everything.  I managed to mess up the pictures, forgot what happened to whom and even managed to mix up Paul and Clarence (don't ask me how!).  But it's all sorted now.  And I'm back to worrying about Jill's fitness to handle the mantle of responsibility she has been handed by joining this family.  But I digress, let's jump in at the 'other houses' first!

At the Samson home both Samson and Kristy aged to elder.  I'm a tad worried about an end of life crisis for Kristy however, check out her interesting choice of apparel!  Meanwhile Abigail soon aged to an adult herself and has her eyes set on only one man.  She even had invited him over for her birthday so she could immediately turn on the flirt and charm.

Abigail literally turned on the charm right away!  Samson is close with his future son-in-law as well but perhaps Abigail rushed things a bit for Clarence.  Yes his name is Clarence Phillipine, but hopefully we can adjust that a bit to Triumph.

Why yes he did turn down her offer of engagement. Too soon, too fast he claimed.  He did agree to move in so there is potential there.  We'll have to wait for next time to find out how their romance blossoms...

Meanwhile at Delilah's house she's fallen a bit into her sister's trap.  Dang romance sim wants and whatnot.  Her and Brandon both fear engagement, which is fine for Delilah as she's sorta kinda fallin' in lust with one of his co-workers and very good friends Amin.  She also met Kennedy at the mailbox and might also have fallin' a bit in lust with him too.  It wasn't long before there were affairs to be had and secrets to keep.

 

I could not, in good conscience allow her to truly follow in her sister's footsteps however and did not 'force' her to get pregnant. The big diffrence, Delilah felt remorseful that she had cheated.  I think for her it's more needing to be secure that Brandon is the one for sure and getting a few romantic wild hares loosened.  She actually loves her intended, she's just terrified of settling down.  However, it wasn't long before neither of them had a fear of engagement and boom they got engaged!

And look, they are even both happy about it!  Time to seal the deal and the future.  Baby and marriage, in just that order.  However they both had some regrets about tying the knot.  No fears before had but serious regrets afterward.

Yes, a tiny baby bump at the kitchen wedding!

Ok, back at the Apocaplyse house.  And yes, I'm telling your ahead of time we will not be discussing Architecture...again.

Paul apparently explained Me to Jill but I'm still not sure that she's got superior intelligence genetics to pass on toward future generations.  However, she does have a better nose.  The two of them have a quick wedding in her underwear and get on to the business of living.

Good Gravy that nose lives on!

Before long Jill is expecting their first child and Paul is over the moon.  (His lifetime want:  marry of 6 kids.)

During all the excitement Martha grows up to an adult and immediately has a conversation with dad about her desire to move out.  She just can't take it anymore with Janabel and wants to take her brother and sister with her as well.  Needless to say the conversation broke Randy's heart.

 That same day, before the grandchild that Randy has longed for can be born, he discovers that his date with Grim has arrived.  The entire household loses it.  He was the only tether to normalcy with Janabel still around.  And of course Martha blames herself.

Do you see that pout!?!

 I have a feeling that despite her lack of apparent intelligence, Jill will make a good Momma.  Here she is comforting Mary over the loss of the only parent she truly knows and felt loved by.





 The next day the much anticipated,by all but one person in the household, addition to the family arrives and secures yet another generation for the future.

Meet Jeremiah.  Why yes, yes he was born in the kitchen. Beats the bathroom any day in my book with this family's history.Once Jill got him settled into the nursery, after a bottle or two of course, she summoned me for a conversation.

Jill:  Hey, um Fizzy?
Me:  Yes dear?
Jill:  Sorry I was so off the other day.  Paul said he didn't think it would happen that fast and didn't tell me everything.  I almost throttled him, I was so concerned that I'd flipped a bend or something.
Me:  No worries Hun.  Have you made any decisions?
Jill:  Yes.  I'm truly not set on a career in culinary.  It is something I enjoy and am passionate about as a hobby, but I'm also open to other opportunities.  Having looked at everything you have given me I think I'd like to persue a future in Intelligence.
Me:  *wipes my sip of coffee of the screen* Intelligence? Your certain?
Jill:  Absolutely.  It appears to provide a variety of opportunities for me to explore and expand boundaries but also has opportunities that will better the community as well.  Randy is going to go with me after work to apply.
Me:  *still agage, a bit, a lot, or totally confused*  I wish you the best of  luck.

"Trust no one."
The entire region is devastated. Zombies, bandits, motorcycle gangs, and other horrors roam the land, mercilessly taking from those that try to rebuild. Locked behind closed doors and barred windows, many pray that the evils roaming the wastes never find them. When something starts banging at the door and eerie shadows loom through windows, terror grips the heart. Is that a call for help? Is someone begging for their life, hoping, praying that someone will save them? Or worse? Could it be a group of bandits, waiting for someone to unlock that door so they can break in and take whatever they please? Everyone's afraid of what's waiting for them outside. People have no choice but to make do with the limited goods provided by the only trusted supplier in the region. People sit and hope, waiting for the day when they can trust again. No one asks questions and no one exchanges packages. Sims do not venture from their homes without an escort, except to go to work or school.

Once the dust settles Martha realizes that guilt gets you nowhere fast she decides to move out taking her brother and sister with her.  Leaving Paul and Jill alone with Janabel and a new baby.  May not be the kindest choice but most likely the smartest choice.

Before we go a look back on the life of Randy 'Flattop' Triumph.  He loved Janabel with all his heart, despite everything she wasn't for him.  He worked hard to reach the pinnacle of the Business career expanding opportunities for all sims.   He raised his family, loved all the children in his home.  Randy, despite his oddness, was a good man.  A good sim.  May he be remembered fondly by all who loved him and may be rest in peace and content away from this world and the tribulations he faced.
