Multiplying Murdles

Household recap:
Shawn (father/elder)
Alisa (mother/adult)
Hemlock (boy #12/young adult/orange)
Ash (bonus boy/young adult/green)
Boone (bonus boy/teen/yellow)
Persephone (girl #12/teen/lilac)

To check up on those who’ve already moved out, you can view the Murdle family tree. Also, if you find yourself wanting a Murdle of your very own, up top at the Family tab is where you can grab .sim downloads of them once they hit young adult. 🙂

It has been roughly forever. I pulled up my blog and found this half-started post from early summer. Let’s see what the Murdles were up to a few months ago, judging by some pictures and some sketchy notes. Whee! On the up-side.. we’re so so so close to done with this challenge, and I already have another idea. Boolprop.net’s SimNaWriMo month is September, and I’ll be doing that, either with my Jacobsen legacy, or with the new challenge. So that means the Murdles need to be all wrapped up this month. Shouldn’t be too hard.. the youngest ones are teens by the end of last update, and looks like there’s a prom up in here this time ’round. 🙂

Alisa is working on that inventing gig. Still. She keeps climbing ranks in that career, but her babies also keep aging up so she’ll likely not hit the top.

Ash is out back fishing. No shocker there. He’s always fishing. LOL If I remember right, his high school girlfriend hadn’t aged up yet, so it’s not like he has anything else to do. 😉

And speaking of girlfriends, our hopeless romantic Boone is on the lookout for one, seeing as we had gotten an alert about Prom. This is his friend Julie that he invited over. Isn’t she cute?

He thinks she’s pretty dreamy.

They chat for a bit..
..they go out to dinner and watch the stars. He asks if she’ll go to prom with him and she says sure.
Back at home, Hemlock is all “I can’t get to the bathroom because ABSO-FREAKING-LUTELY NOTHING is in my way!” I have him use his happiness points on a motive mobile for himself and send him to his girlfriend’s house. LOL

Hemlock: “I am annoying the piss out of the Watcher ready to take our relationship to the next level. Will you marry me -” *waits while I check to see what her name was* “-Caitlin?”

She can’t turn down that face (thank God), so she accepts. They have a celebratory woohoo (so I can know there will be a spawn because all Murdle 2.0’s must have a child).

They immediately had a private ceremony at the lounge place, and I bid him farewell. Peace out, Hemlock. Alisa will be stuck doing our painting now, but at least she doesn’t whine about non-issues. LOL

Now that that’s done, let’s check back in with everyone else.

Still inventing.

Still fishing.

Searching the galaxy to make sure he and Julie aren’t star-crossed.

Being lovely

And dead to the world. Okay not DEAD like literally. Just figuratively. Literally he’s just “old and tired to the world” I guess.

Persephone went off to play a computer game and I had way too much fun watching her play her computer game. (Thank goodness no one was watching me play MY computer game and laughing about it.)

Ash: “Hey, Brittany, I heard you finally had your birthday. Wanna come over?”
Don’t let the pajamas fool you, it’s late afternoon. He was just up fishing all night, so he slept all day. LOL

She arrived and he auto walked up to her as I went “awww” in my head and settled back to see the lovey-doveyness.

Ash: “Oh no you didn’t!”
Wait, what? *checks queue* Accuse of cheating? Huh? She grew up two seconds ago. She hasn’t had TIME for any other romance.
Ash: “Only eyes for me huh? I saw you eyeing HIM when I walked up.”
Brittany: “Him who? The mailman? He delivers my mail too. Get a grip.”
I’m only guessing at what set him off. Her relationship panel shows nothing above friend with anyone but Ash. But now I have to wait until the grumpiness wears off before they can do relationship things.

New daycare day! No chance I know the names of the kids, but in front is one of Fee’s girls with her vampire baby.

Closer pics on the toddlers, complete with vampire great-grand-Murdle doing her best impression of the girl from The Ring. LOL

So, I may not be able to do romantic interactions between these two yet (Ash, you’re lucky you’re my favorite LOL), but they’re still happy with one another. So I had him ask her to move in. That way I can watch her (watch them both). She thought that sounded awesome, so we add Brittany to our house.

Speaking of romance, prom’s like tomorrow and Persephone still needs a date. I had her call up her two friends from school. Randal here was the only one that felt like coming over. He’ll do.

Aw, and she agrees. Heart-farts all ’round.
Persephone: “You have such a great smile.”
Randal: “Fangs, you like it?”
Heh.. I kill me.

Awesome joke potential aside, I couldn’t handle another forever-alive person in town. Also, Persephone doesn’t want some dude that’s gonna look younger than her in ten years time. So she forcefully chucks accidentally drops a potent cure potion at his feet after dinner.

He’s adorable un-vamped too (I’m sure there are pics in the light later on where you can see.) Persephone wastes no time.
Persephone: “So, are you married?”
Randal: “Well I’m 14, so.. no?”
P: “Excellent. Wanna go to prom?”
R: “Um, okay.”
Woot, all dated up.

And… look who can be romantical now! I finally remembered that Shawn had bought the mood manager thing. I had him “cure” the grumpiness from these two and it worked! Now if I could just get one of those mood managers in real life.. LOL

With the romantic choices back on the menu, I waste no time.

Thankfully, she accepts. They move inside to daydream and chat about the upcoming big day.

And stuff. 😉

And apparently prom will be next update because this one’s good enough. Thankfully prom is at least the part I wrote notes for, so.. half the work’s done. 🙂
