The Crane Legacy: Chapter 3.9- Tales of SSU and WooHoo

I know its been a while my dear readers, but to be honest, I haven't played much either. I was very ill on Wednesday, and... yeah, no excuses, but I'm here!

Last we left off, the alien boys Xander and Xenophilius had been sent off to college, and their father's, Charon and Prof. Karna, respectively, moved out with Xenophilius' Servo, Camden. They moved in with Adriana Fountain, a former member of the house.

Now, we resume (and end this generation, FINALLY) this story with a few letters, from the Spare heiress, Charissa Crane...

"Dear Mom,



When we arrived, we weren't at all shocked to see Xerxes chillin' out in front of this cheap house playing his Handheld. He was always so excited about everything and playful, so we weren't shocked in the least. This house was called the Knut House, but no one knows why.



Of course, when we arrived, we looked like a hot mess. Well, Charity did. She's so full of herself, but I forgive, her. She is my little sister after all.



Sometimes I just stare at her and wonder whats going on in her head. She's so pretty, and so strong. I'm glad they chose her as heiress, even if her aspiration (sluttiness, I mean Romance, Mom, I would NEVER call my little sister a slut! HONEST) probably deters her from making correct decisions with her life.



When I think she's going to look, I turn away. I don't want her to know I admire her, or even think about her. Better for her to think I'm casually jealous of her heirship.



I wasn't surprised when she immediately called up Baal Baum, the placeholder for Generation 3 of the family Greek House, Annya-Oresha-Var. She obviously wanted to get in. I'm not gonna lie, I wanted to as well.



Once she was in, she immediately made the call to move there. *sigh* Thats my little sis, always... eager.



At the Knut House, there were rumors that creepy stuff went on. I have no idea what the rumors mean, I mean, we're only freshmen.



I *did* see Xerxes go up there though, but I assume it was to talk to that weird alien-zombie-vamipre Berumai girl.



Eventually we changed into our signature colors, and were ready. That guy with us is Othello Dionysus, he's... odd.



When it was my turn to try to get into AOV, Baal was so... eager, just like Charity. I think he's into me. He laughed just a little too hard at my corny jokes. I saw Sage skimping around, I know she's a pleasure Sim, I'm not sure I want her around Baal, or Xerxes. (Even if she IS his half-sister from another mother-er father.)



Back to Othello. He's really good looking, a Family Sim, simply perfect! For me, anyway. He says that he was offered a scholarship by some company, KD... something. He says they let him come to college for free- he was the newspaper boy before. So some company gave him the money to come to college? Why? That makes no sense to me.



He did become friends with Xerxes' weird sister though. He apparently told her something else. I don't know... he seems so... weird. He was just sent here. He has to have some reason!



We eventually made it to the Greek House. I was so surprised when I saw Charity and Baal working on their papers. He's a Popularity Sim, she doesn't even have any chemistry with him! She better not try to... not like I like him or anything. (Honest mom, I don't!)



I sent a picture as well, here it is. Thats the current Greek House set up: Yours Truly, the lovely Charissa, Othello, Baal and Charity. I'll see if Charity manages to come up for air and scrawls something at the bottom of the page.



Hey Mom!

Its me, the Prodigal daughter. I know that Charissa has been filling your head with lies about me, but its not true! Any of it! I'll have you know that I am still as clean as when I left the house! I am INNOCENT! :D



Plus, Charissa is creepy. She's too reflective, she stares at your pictures and wishes she was like you! Thats NOT normal mom! I am glad I'm heiress.



Sure she looks like you mom, but look at her! Sorry to make MY letter about her, but yeah. She's like, obsessed with Baal.



The other day we were just in the kitchen, doing our respective Homework for our courses (of course I'm maintaining the heiress mandatory 4.0 mom!) and she was in the doorway. Sheesh, I didn't know I needed to be watched!



I also thought I would let you know that they added my picture next to yours! Hopefully this will start a great new trend in the family.



I also spend a lot of time with Othello. I'm sure Charissa told you all about how he's her type, but he's really nice. He listens to me. He rarely talks about himself, he did mention that he was offered a scholarship, but I didn't really pay much attention. I was... studying. :)

I'll leave you now mom, thanks for listening.



Dear Girls,

I am sorry to inform you that your mother has passed. She passed peacefully, and she left you both a lot of money.

Also, two boys will soon be joing you at the Greek House.



Their names are Xander Pyle and Xenophilius Lampwick, they are currently at The Knut House with Sage Berumai.

Cressida Crane

Dearest Cressida,

Thanks for telling us that mom died. I am really sad, this was such a shcok.. But not more to me than it was to Charissa:



She went crazy. Like, literally, Cress, she was lying on the floor babbling and stuff.






We had to call some 1-800 Shrink to fix her up, SHE was indeed a hot mess in those couple of days.



Luckily, Baal was there to cheer her up. He's such a good guy. He has liked her since we got here, and so has she, she just needed his help moving on. I grew up a little as well, I guess I finally realized what being heiress actually means.







I am worried a bit about Xerxes though. When Charissa and Baal were... bonding, he just waltzed in and started talking to them. He has been suffering since we got here. I think he wants to date and stuff, but we've just been so busy, we can't hang out with him.


"Whats up guys? Am I interrupting? *gigglesnort* I guess I am! :D "



Needless to say, they were able to bond in peace.



But I knew something was wrong. Xerxes had been so upset lately, that he was trying to find solace in anything- I couldn't believe it.



He asked her to Vamp him Cressida. I don't think he could ever begin to understand the ramifications of the fact that he would never be the same.



Cousin Xerxes is now a vampire.



He made us build him his own little chamber to house his coffin.



In Charissa/Baal news, they got their portraits painted by Xerxes before he got vamped.



And they are pretty much happy. They have no issues whatsoever. How Perfect for them.



Charissa even said that her new love prompted her to get a style change. Its about time. She had had that same hairstyle for so long, I'm glad to see it gone.

As for me...



I couldn't even deny it. I had been having feelings for Othello for so long... He kind of said that he had been wanting to find someone for a while too...



We finally expressed our feelings for one another.



But I guess I was a little conflicted. I knew I needed to find someone to carry on the legacy, (how great that I fell for Othello, right?)



We eventually just... tumbled into bed. How great there was a bed outside! (It had just been delivered Cress, I swear I would NEVER woohoo outside!)



I'll leave off with that. In my delirium (after woohooing Othello, of course) I decided that I wanted our heir to marry this lady! Then I remembered that Repair-people are always elders. D'OH!



Dear Charity:

I am most glad to hear that the alien children have arrived at the Greek House. I hope that both of them flourish and make your acquaintance.



Cressida Crane


Dear Cressida:

Charity here again.



Sorry that I haven't written, but you know how busy I am with schoolwork now.



I also have to fend off those crazy admirers I get. Speaking of admirers, I went to the School Offered Counseling at the end of Sophomore Year, and decided (re-rolled) Pleasure. I at one point decided I wanted to get 50 Dream Dates in my life... But then I couldn't.



Othello was still a Family Sim, and I decided I wanted to be one as well. I used one of the machines that Xenophilius had built, and became a Family Sim.



Othello and I are going to have 10 children Cress. And you're going to help raise them!



:D :D :D :D :D





But all in all, Othello and I were a very happy couple during our last couple of years.



During our senior year, during one of our Senior Year, I knew Othello was goiong to do it. We were all dressed up and everything.



I, however, did not know that Charissa and Baal were also on a date. I didn't mind. But still. As long as she didn't ruin my special day, I was fine.



I almost cried when he got on one knee.

"Charity, I'm so glad that you were here... I'm so glad that I took the oppurtunity that I was offered, and that we were able to fall in love... Do me the honor of being my wife and having lots of children with me!"

The proposal could have used some work, but I still said yes.





Baal also proposed to Charissa, but I didnt hear his proposal. I'm sure it wasn't as nice as mine. *huffs*



We also saw a Bald Dormie that day. Come to think of it, that was the day of our finals!







Though they started late, Xander and Xeno did lots of extra classes to be able to graduate with us. And so, all 7 of us graduated!

We'll be seeing you at home soon Cressida!




"My poor little girl... You let it happen to you too."

And with that, the update ends...

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I had to play seven Sims through College, SEVEN. I know that Xander and Xeno were a little young, but I needed to get them the hell out of there. I did indeed use the College Adjuster on Xander and Xeno when they were at The Knut House to catch them up so they could move into AOV.

As for THAT little twist, Sage Berumai is the product of a legitimate abduction when I first founded Kodak, I was using the family to test out Enayla's defaults. (Mao then directed me to KSK's Tasty Skins, which I used until Bitsy gave me hers, the Heleane ones.) Sage did not legitimately become a vampire, but when she was at AOV she was influenced to bite Xerxes, so it wasn't cheating. Sage is a black sheep, and as many of you can probably predict, Xerxes will be one soon as well.

Charity re-rolled Pleasure, I did try to go for her LTW but I simply couldn't. I took the point loss and made her Family, I'll get lots of IW points for that little decision. *pats back* Charissa and Othello did not re-roll at all. Xander re-rolled Family, Xeno did not re-roll. I kept Xerxes Pleasure, I feel bad enough for what happens to him.

As for KDI, the next update will deal with them, and we'll then move on to Generation 4. (I am actually still on Generation 4, sigh.)
