Elisabeth Succubus Part 5: An emptying nest

Handiness is just not one of the skills that Elisabeth has spent time raising.  But, with Theseus out of the house, she is the only one left who can repair the broken dishwasher.  But after one surge, she calls a repair person.

Sedrick, Elisabeth’s current boyfriend, is not the repair person who comes over anymore, but he is still Elisabeth’s boyfriend.  He’s worthy eye-candy for her never-ending fundraising parties.  This one is in celebration of Erik’s birthday.  Quite a lot of teens were invited to the party as well because Eleanor needs to find a boyfriend.

Trey Salisbury is the kid waving to Elisabeth.  He’s cute.  If he were older, she’d dump Secrick and take him.

Isabel Bagley comes to the party, too.  Erik finds out that she is now going steady with his half-brother, Jason.  This is distressing news.  He has always liked Isabel, but he is best friends with his brother.

  Victoria arrives at the party pregnant!  Yay for Story Progression!  She’s the first non-legacy spare to have a baby.  She ends up with a girl named Nora.

Margaret set up her treat stand at the party, too.  Sally Succubus, Perseus’ wife, has never been pregnant.  I was really hoping she and Perseus would have had kids.  I always liked the look of her.

As one might suspect, Trey catches Eleanor’s eye right away.  He is very cute, no? 

She ignores the other teen gentlemen that Elisabeth had invited.  The blonde here is named Osvaldo and the dark haired guy is Nate.  Osvaldo has interesting looks.  I wonder if they’d breed true with red skin?  Maybe later in the legacy…

  Hillary abandons her muffins to become friends with Laurel Grisby’s son with Chris Newbie.  He doesn’t seem to be afflicted with the Grisby ears or nose.

She also befriends the daughter of Dallas Shallow (one of Elisabeth’s old boyfriends).  It’s good to see that the Shallow need for money hasn’t escaped her.  I can’t remember who her mother is.

  Erik grows up very well.  His LTW is to be an astronaut, but in order to move out of the house, he needs to max out his painting skill.  He’ll be an artistic military man.

At the party, Elisabeth encounters the same surfer dude as was seen in the last update.  She flirts with him which irritates everyone at the party—especially Sedrick.

Margaret isn’t the least irritated, though.  I catch her in some evil plotting and laughing at Elisabeth’s expense.

  Another of the teens at the party sticks around for a game of chess with Erik.  His name is Chadwick Smothers.  He is slightly reminiscent of the the Creeper Legacy founder, Chad, so I decide that I will see if Eleanor takes a fancy to him.

I’m actually quite thankful that Erik hasn’t mastered a skill yet.  That means he’s still around to help the toddlers skill up.  I think I might even keep him around always…even if he is adventurous and wants to travel all the time.  Succubae don’t get to leave Riverview.  It’s part of the Curse.  (Also traveling glitches the game something awful!)

He’s really good with the kids.

Hillary takes her bake sale out around the town.  She does fairly brisk business around the grocery store.  Betty Simovitch who’s sitting on the bench, almost buys from her but then says she’s on a diet. 

  Showers give Elisabeth a lot less fuss than dishwashers and she earns the Plumber side-reward.

  Most of the family is away from home when it’s Hillary’s birthday.  As is usual, she celebrates alone.  The only one with a relationship with her in this family is Erik.

Doesn’t she look like a pretty version of Harold?  I actually kind of like her looks.  I didn’t get to pick her trait again…she got excitable.  This is added to perceptive, friendly, and clumsy.  I think I might upload her to the exchange and the put her in my other legacy just for fun.  Wouldn’t she make a good Kendrick?

Elisabeth does end of going back to work and leaves the children in the care of a babysitter all day.  He isn’t a bad one.  He doesn’t spend all of his time playing Gnubb like Debbie Scuggs did.  His name was Lenny, I think—or maybe I’m just channeling Laverne and Shirley because of the hair.

On her first day back to work Elisabeth gets promoted to Mayor!  She arrives home in style.  I just don’t understand why she isn’t more elated.  This is her LTW, after all.  “I’m 3 days from becoming an Elder.  Mayor is only level 6 of the political career.  I have so far to go!” 

Hillary and Eleanor start to make a relationship with each other now that they are in high school together.  It’s actually kind of cute. 

In order to get promoted even more quickly, Elisabeth throws a fundraising party for Nancy and Martha’s birthday.  She hits up Sedrick for a donation right out of the gate.

After she gets her money, she mocks him for being a vegetarian.

Then she dumps him.  The dumping wouldn’t have felt so good without the mocking first.  This gives Elisabeth quite the happiness boost.  She is aiming to be an Evil Dictator.

I haven’t forgotten Jason Succubus, the long abandoned and hated child Elisabeth had with Don Lothario.  He aged up around the same time as Erik.  As usual he’s a little worried about being at Erik’s house.

  And he has good reason.  Elisabeth never wastes the opportunity to mock him or insult him. 

This time, though, his brother sticks up for him.  Erik actually retaliated on Jason’s behalf and accused his mother of being Evil.  Oh where is Margaret when she needs to see Elisabeth get some just deserts!!

Meanwhile Hillary talks to Cole Grisby who also had become a teen.  Unfortunately he doesn’t like Hillary as anything more than a friend.  Instead he asks her all about Eleanor.  Poor Hillary is destined to be the Jan to Eleanor’s Marcia, I think.

But Cole doesn’t stand a chance, really, unless Eleanor becomes the heir.  Chadwick is at the party and he’s the one Eleanor likes.  She roles a want to kiss him right away.  Right after she learns he’s mean-spirited—I guess she’s one of those girls who thrives off her boy friend picking on her—or maybe it’s just that she’s evil and gets turned on watching him be mean to other people.  Who knows.  But Chadwick will be Eleanor’s!

Even though this was a fundraising venture, it was also the party for Nancy and Martha.  Everyone cheered for them, including Jason, who for some reason changed into his swimsuit.

Martha gained the perceptive trait like Hillary.  It’s added to Grumpy and Light Sleeper.  She’s quite and interesting little Sim.

Nancy isn’t as cute as Martha, in my opinion.  She is clumsy, absent minded, and over emotional.  She forgets what she’s doing, trips over her feet, and then cries about it.  She’s funny to watch!

  After the girls aged up, Elisabeth mastered painting.  Yay!  A point for her!

  She also decided to throw her next campaign party at the Juice Bar in town.  She grilled hotdogs and hamburgers for her guests.  Margaret was the first to arrive.  I am not sure why Margaret always shows up.  Elisabeth didn’t invite her.  She only invited men because she’s on the prowl again.

The man in her sights is Jovan Masters.  I think he looks like a Ken doll.  Anyway, he’s been single ever since she first met him…maybe no one likes his plastic doll face, or maybe his lower parts look like Ken, too.  But anyway, she likes him.  “I know I’m the town Bike, but I was hoping that we could hook up.”

Meanwhile, as Elisabeth was proposing that Jovan go steady with her, Eleanor was locking lips with Chadwick in front of the community pool.  Neither man nor boy was immune to the Succubae flirting, and the boy readily agreed to go steady.

  Before the party was over, though, Elisabeth did have to get one good jibe in on her son Jason, who, like Margaret, wasn’t invited and came anyway.  Jason isn’t a bad looking Sim.  Too bad he is both a loser and totally insane…as any guy would be if he had Elisabeth for a mother who abandoned him to be raised by his father, Don Lothario.

The limo ride seems to have only been a perk for that one promotion.  As Mayor, Elisabeth is still picked up and dropped off by the company car service.  She desperately wants the limo back.

  After school grumpy Martha goes over to the Ivanov house where her uncle Theseus lives with his boyfriend Dmitri.  They also live with Tatiana, Dmitri’s sister and her family.  This is Melodie Ivanov, who is Martha’s friend.

Meanwhile Nancy has taken over the baked goods business from Hillary.  She lowered the prices absent-mindedly and now is making a lot more money than her sister.

At home again, Martha takes to painting.  It was the skill she rolled the want to learn after she aged up.  This is a good thing because Erik is the only painter and he won’t be around forever.

Nancy rolled the want to learn writing, which I indulged, but since writing garners no fun, I have her learning handiness on the blocks as well as cooking at the little stove.

  Elisabeth invited Ken…I mean Jovan over for some fun.  He didn’t stick around at the fundraiser long enough to get an invite, so she had to invite him to spend the night after work the next day.

  After some sheet-bouncing fun, Elisabeth gets up early enough to make pancakes the next morning.  I have no idea why Eleanor and Martha wouldn’t sit at the table.  Nancy elected to bake muffins instead of eating her mother’s cooking.  Erik had the day off, so he was reading a book for work.

Since it is his day off, Erik does agree to do the dishes, but the dishwasher is broken yet again!  He needs to learn handiness for work anyway, so  I set him to fixing it.  This is what happened.

And it got worse and worse as the dishwasher also caught on fire!

Erik fell to the ground and Jovan rushed in to try and save him…isn’t that sweet?  I bet he didn’t know that was part of the whole Succubus boyfriend gig.

  Unfortunately Jovan was only able to put out the fire.  He hadn’t saved Erik at all.  The Camo-Grim-Reaper came up through the floor and took Erik away.

   No one was around to care about Erik’s passing except Jovan and the man-maid.  What an ignominious ending.  I ALMOST went back to my saved game just so that I could keep Erik…he was turning into such nice eye-candy! 

Let’s just hope that Jovan and Elisabeth were careful.  Erik isn’t around to take care of any spawn from their union.  Erik’s remains were put on Elisabeth’s dresser.  I haven’t let any other ghost but Lilith’s stay on the lot before this.  Maybe I will have Eleanor resurrect him if she gets the opportunity.

Points this chapter:

+1 Elisabeth masters painting.

Note that Elisabeth is also on boyfriend #9.  Only one more to go!
