Chapter 30: Grim's Gonna Get Ya...

Image and video hosting by TinyPic
Where we last left off young Indiana here had just grown up into a child. Despite her standard EA moonpie face she was quite a cutie... except for the evil looks she kept giving me 0_0

With Eden raking in the bacon for the family the household funds had increased steadily, and I was able to give Indiana's bedroom a lovely makeover.

The elderly members of the family were still around and, now retired, they had a lot of freetime to pursue their hobbies. Noah and Adelaide continued to act like they were loved-up teenagers, bless em, and Eden's wife Melody enjoyed spending her days at the computer.

As a Virtuoso, and with no guitar for kids (grr) Indie instead succumbed to her artistic tendancies by working to improve her painting skill.


Image and video hosting by TinyPic
She also went to school as children do, though was less than impressed by it...

Why have all the kids in this family, except Adelaide and Eden, seemed so emo?


Image and video hosting by TinyPic
But the one thing able to lift Indie's spirits was spending time with her dad. Eden and Indiana had built up a great relationship; strengthened each day by their interactions and activities.


Image and video hosting by TinyPic
Indie was a bit of a sore loser though...


Image and video hosting by TinyPic
During the daytime, Eden would head out to his job in the military career. As a Genius he learnt the required skills quickly, and he was able to reach level 8 in the profession in a reasonably short amount of time.

He looks good in a uniform doesn't he? Teehee...


Image and video hosting by TinyPic
Ahem. Before long it was time for Eden to age up into an Adult. He was going to have a nice little party with a cake and everyfink but he beat me to the punch, hmph.


Image and video hosting by TinyPic
Standard sparklyness rah rah rah.


Image and video hosting by TinyPic
Oh, and look who turned up to witness his change- it's Riley and Dahlia.
I seem to have a little haunting problem atm- I've locked the door to the graveyard, I've even removed the darn thing, and yet the ghosts still keep finding ways into the house. It's driving me slightly insane, and the following events only added to the problem...


Image and video hosting by TinyPic
Poor Melody. Yes, Eden's wife soon reached the end of her lifespan, and time was up.


Image and video hosting by TinyPic
She did try to fight it, but sadly there was nothing she could do. It's a shame- she wasn't even in the family for that long : (


Image and video hosting by TinyPic
And poor Eden as well. As a Hopeless Romantic he had loved his wife dearly, in spite of her age, so her death hit him hard. It didn't help that he had the Over-Emotional trait too.


Image and video hosting by TinyPic
Even evil little Indie was upset by her mother's passing, and unfortunately Eden's attempts to console her didn't go so well...

Stupid glitches >: |


Image and video hosting by TinyPic
Ah, that's better. At least the rest of the family still have each other eh?


Image and video hosting by TinyPic
Ack, slight problem there. It seems Melody's death seems to have started a knock-on effect, with Noah here being so upset by it he popped his clogs too.


Image and video hosting by TinyPic
Grim sure is getting a lot of business today.


Image and video hosting by TinyPic
Hmph, that's not nice. It's always worse when the happy couples get split up : ( I loved Noah and Adelaide.


Image and video hosting by TinyPic
Immediately after Noah's passing Adelaide headed straight for the bar, and who can blame her?


Image and video hosting by TinyPic
But at least someone in the house was faring a little better- Indiana was busy making a new friend.
No Indie, we've done the Grim thing, leave him alone... put some clothes on.


Image and video hosting by TinyPic
I guess the benefit of the whole legacy keeping-everyone-in-the-same-house thing is that there's always a family member close at hand in times of need.


Image and video hosting by TinyPic
But what do you do when people just wont stop dying?! Adelaide's death happened just over one Sim day after Noah had passed. Like I said- the knock on effect of dooooooom.


Image and video hosting by TinyPic
Oh dear. Eden and Indie are really getting put through the wringer with this whole mass death thing.


Image and video hosting by TinyPic
So after the recent spate of unfortunate deaths, otherwise known as semi-doomsday, the family graveyard was expanded and the tombstones of Melody, Noah, and Adelaide were placed inside.


Image and video hosting by TinyPic
Eden and Indie, now alone (cry cry) continued to cope the best they could as they mourned their loved ones.


Image and video hosting by TinyPic
As always life goes on, and in time it was Indiana's birthday.

It's the ciiiiirrrccle of liiifffeeee! And it moooves us allllll.
Well, you get the idea with that.


Image and video hosting by TinyPic
Anyways... So I guess Indie had quite a generic look in her childhood years, so I'm curious to see if she beautifies now.


Image and video hosting by TinyPic
GAH!


Image and video hosting by TinyPic
Don't worry folks- it was just another one of those lovely glitches we enjoy so much. After a bit of, well, me panicking Indie turned out fine. Gorgeous in fact.


Image and video hosting by TinyPic
Finally as a teen Indie was able to work on improving her music skill.


Image and video hosting by TinyPic
She also continued to paint a lot, and really developed an individual style (which I loves).


Image and video hosting by TinyPic
Eden and Indie were as close as ever, and I discovered they both had the secret Can Salute trait. It's quite cute actually.


Image and video hosting by TinyPic
Speaking of cute, here's Indie bonding with a friend from her school.

Fun fact for you kids- this guy is actually the son of the man Adelaide kissed a couple of chapters ago : o Talk about keeping it in the family...


Image and video hosting by TinyPic
So anyways, Indie and this teen (who's name I've forgotten) had quite a nice romantic rendevous... until the boy glitched and got stuck in this position for a while.


Image and video hosting by TinyPic
Argh...


Image and video hosting by TinyPic
Eventually he snapped out of it though and Indie was able to enjoy her first kiss.


Image and video hosting by TinyPic
And the next day she enjoyed her second kiss ; )


Image and video hosting by TinyPic
What? She's a hot little package, can you blame anyone for wanting a piece of her?


Image and video hosting by TinyPic
Ahh, I loves her ^_^


Image and video hosting by TinyPic
Anywayyysss. Speaking of amour- do you remember in Eden's teen years he had a trio of girls after him? Well this is one of them. Kendra and Eden had remained friends as their lives progressed and, following the deaths of his family members, he had grown closer to her.


Image and video hosting by TinyPic
So it was no great love, and in truth Eden couldn't imagine feeling that way about anyone after Melody, but still- Kendra was good company.


Image and video hosting by TinyPic
Maybe he just needed a little close comfort.


Image and video hosting by TinyPic
But, as always, the real source of comfort in Eden's life was Indiana. He was so close to his daughter he couldn't imagine his life without her. Famous last words eh?...


Image and video hosting by TinyPic
When the weekend arrived Eden and Indie took to the pool for a little R&R after a hard week at work and school.


Image and video hosting by TinyPic
They had a great time playing around and having a who-can-hold-their-breath-the-longest competition, and then it all went horribly, horribly wrong.


Image and video hosting by TinyPic
Hey, did you know Sims can drown through holding their breath for too long? Yeah, me neither.


Image and video hosting by TinyPic
Crap.


Image and video hosting by TinyPic
Oh twisted Sims fate, why must you do this to me?! Indie was so perfect and she and Eden were so happy, now what?


Image and video hosting by TinyPic
Rest in peace Indiana Mars... I guess : (


Image and video hosting by TinyPic
Crap crap crap. Now Eden is alone. No wife, no children. No heir! How on earth will the legacy live on? Find out in the next chapter of the Mars Family Legacy, coming soon.

Gahhhhhhhhhhhh.
