Chapter 18: Orchid

So, firstly Boo went straight home and deposited Orchid in the swing.  Then she cleared her inventory and went to the market to sell all of her fish for a whopping $400.  She whipped out her phone and made one phone call to Grape and another to….

Her travel agent.  She booked a trip (a test trip) to China.  While her and Grape were checking in, I was trolling for men about the town.  This is Liang Yat Sen, the chosen daddy for P.  Yes, I changed his hair and eye color.  I did not change any body parts.

Boo:  Hey, Mr. Unemployed Scorpio (no list check offs here other than Foreign), I hear you know songs.
Liang:  Yes, there are two songs to learn here.  Which do you prefer to learn first?

Boo:  Ping and His Checkers, please.

Boo:  What’re you lookin’ at?  Go away.  I want to sing.

Liang: Well, it starts like this…*sing sing sing*

Liang: Now it’s your turn.  Sing to me, 寵兒.   (google translated darling into traditional Chinese.)
Boo:  I hope you’re joking.  I’m an acrobat by training, not a singer.
Liang:  You can do it.  I’ll teach you a love song if you at least try.

Boo:  How was that?  I hope no one was around to witness that.
Liang:  It was perfect!  *如果你想聽起來像一個垂死的三個獨眼駱駝*  (translation: if you wanted to sound like a dying three eyed llama).

Liang: Now you can learn to sing, Love of Xing Lo.

Liang:  See, easy stuff.  Now your turn!

Boo:  My lips were meant to wrap around other things, not these words.
Liang:  *dies*

I can’t believe how painful she makes it look like learning this song.  I have never had a sim do these facial expressions.  I was dying.

Liang: No! No, no no.  Like this: Lalalalaalaa.

Boo:  *burp*  Oops..pardon me!
Liang: *nasty Westerners*

Boo:  That totally sucked.
Liang:  I couldn’t agree more.
Boo:  It sure made me hot though!

I would say that Liang agreed with her.

Really, agreed with her.  ~~Lullaby~~   I heard that it was fixed to go overseas and have babies, but only for the active family.  If Grape had gotten a local with child, it would be child aged when he got home.  Not so, for Boo.  I am testing this now.  I did bring Grape along only because it would be on the home base lot while he was there, making it seem like she was at home.

With the main goal accomplished, Grape was left alone while Boo explored.

I then got a pop up that Grape had a manipulator rep.  It turns out to be Azure’s daughter Abbey Splash-Frost that he flirted with and I guess kissed.  She told him to quit being a dork and ran off.

This was highly unexpected.

Boo ended up clearing a tomb and left.  Unlike Egypt, not once did she catch on fire and almost die.

Boo:  Cocoa, wait!

Cocoa:  Why did you bring him, Boo?  Twallan  has made it so you can bring non-household members.  You could have brought me!

Boo: Baby, I have to think of the points.  He had to come or it would have cost me the husband bonus.  You know this.

Cocoa:  You could have just told me all of this.  I wouldn’t have followed you then.
Boo:  Honey, if I had told you, then you would have gotten angry.  I came with Grape but I’m leaving with an addition.  I didn’t tell you because I know how upset you get.
Cocoa:  Are you at least going home soon, or are you *sneer* enjoying your vacation with him?
Boo:  I am leaving now.

I personally thought it was cute that he followed her, even though he is engaged to Hibiscus still.

Orchid’s swing pic.  Almost time for her birthday!

You are on the wrong level for the toys and the wrong level for beds…what are you doing?

Grape:  Standing watching the gnomes pop around the yard before she goes to learn her last skills.

Eep!  Cuteness!   Lemony goodness!   Awww!   We even got the very first insane baby!

OHHH and Boo came home still pregnant!  12 hrs  pregnant to be exact, except Master Controller does not say whether it’s a boy or girl…strange.  This will either be a Pistachio or Peach Cream.

Nothing really to do except sit and wait.  So I will sit and wait, you will obviously get to continue onto the next line.

It’s been quite awhile since Boo has had two toddlers at the same time.  Nutmeg is all done skilling actually and has birthday coming up later that night.

Ignores Boo and Grape.   I think this marks the first kid to actually read the toddler books since Buttercup was little.

I finally got Boo to do something useful, like get to know her newest child.

Then they moved on to potty training.

Learning to talk was quite the chore, but Orchid did finally get it.

They took turns playing with the toys.

All of a sudden, Nutmeg took off.

Not sure how long the toy box has been here for, but yay for the first kid to ever find it.

Nutmeg:  Dada Gwape, I hiding!

The poor thing was ignored because Grape went to bed midday.

Orchid:  I want to pway too!

You’re supposed to be Entertaining sick kids.  What’s going on?

Boo:  Durr.

That sun is bright.  Hope none of you are vampires.

If you can’t tell by the lighting, she sat there all day trying to do the maternity switch.  I really hate that shirt lately.  It makes her preggo tummy lumpy looking..it’s really gross.  Might be time for an overhaul.

Her very first bout of morning sickness came after the pop.

Nutmeg:  Hewwow!  Where my cake?

Nutmeg:  Nevermind.  Jerks.

Nutmeg:  Soon, you shall have a non-cake birthday too!

Orchid needs to learn to walk and read the books to have her birthday.

Nutmeg is going to be like her older brother and be a painter.

I am not sure how it happened, but poor Moon’s social was in the red.  Like almost at DefCon 5 red.

I had him come play with Orchid for quite a long time before putting her to bed.

Yeah, your first painting is interesting..I guess.

I have no clue where this car came from or who it belongs to.  The family does not have any visitors.  No interactions with the car work.

So Boo caused her first major catastrophe.

She came out with 1,100 scrap, some inventing levels and finished the Collect scrap inventing challenge.

Nutmeg went over here after school.  That is yet another Grape child.  Her name is Dolly Seacrest.   Her and Orchid will probably be friends since they are both as insane as they come.

Boo finally went back to entertain the children the next day.  She also called Liang and invited him for a visit.

Boo: Hi, Liang.  How would you like to come for a visit.  I never got a good frontal pic of you for the Daddy card!  Tomorrow at 9am?  I’ll be ready!

Boo:  Hello there, person whose name I can’t remember.  Sign and Career info please!
Stranger: Oh….OH you’re that chick!  Medical and Scorpio.
Boo:  You may pass uninteresting man.

Boo: Okay folks nothing more to see here.  I must be off to prepare the house for a visitor.  See you next time, when the kid pops out.

Bonus for SRaina:

Here are Eider and Grape’s twins, Olive and Oleander – CAS pics because they are both ghosts.

Here are the toddler pics, which were current at the time of pic taking.  I believe they are teens in game currently.

Here are the YA pics.
