Pink’s Madness. 6.6 Ring a Ring a Roses

Welcome to Week 13.

The reason for the song will come apparent later. As a little clue rumour has it this nursery rhyme came about during a particularly nightmarish time in history.

Sunday

Malinda Ridgeway has gotten together with Solomon Huntley. I didn’t think that would happen in the proper version. Well at least there is no unexpected pregnancy and shotgun wedding.

Willis Inkbeard and Rosalind Barbarossa have split up.

Everybody attends Caryn Rao’s party. A side effect from having the school at home is that the teen have the going insane from being inside too long moodlet.
Of course most of them don’t show but at least a few of them are feeling a bit happier.

Uglow joins the cooking club. She is the worst of all the members, but at least they are getting into it. The fridge is becoming well stocked.

W13D2BB, Monday

Ronnie Durant has moved in with his father Denis, and his wife Farrah Inkbeard. He had been living with his grandma after his mother electrocuted herself.

Giilscarbo has this little crush on Blaine Darwin. Blaine is one of Verlaine’s grandchildren. Well Gilscarbo is Seth and Celeste’s child so not in the family tree so it’s alright.

We haven’t had an auto crush in ages. We’ll just ignore the fact that his brother has the less gangster exterior.

Noon Witherspoon is dating Cory Vidal.

Tolkein is on the honour roll.

Serena Lai has finally become a Vice President. All I get is tons of spam messages about Sims donating money to her campaign thank goodness it seems to be finally working.

W13D3BB. Tuesday

Seth and Udenkwo show that love can remain strong after 6 children together, and his affair with her late mother.

I’m getting pop-ups saying Valery is getting old.

Twain wishes to be a master thief.

Lacy and Tate Darwin announce their pregnancy.

Valery Pink dies. She is survived by her husband, daughter, son-in-law and granddaughter.

A terrible illness plagues the town killing 62 Sims.
I won’t give you the full death list. Lets just say all 62 Sims were elders. Only 14 were unrelated to the Pink’s in some way.

Vincenzi the last of the V’s was among them.
Vincenzi is survived by his wife and son.
A few of the U husbands passed as well.

The Leader of the Free World which is Barnacle Bay has issued a decree that all infants should remain in their own homes, lest the plague takes them too. Children are not immunised against this infection until they reach school, but the immunisation has worn off by the time they reach elder status.

Darwin Pink- Uris and Antonio Bates’ son dies of the mysterious illness sweeping the bay.

Blaine pops over at 10pm, giving Gilscarbo hope. Unfortunately he doesn’t share her ideas. Poor girl. So what if Seth is nearby, he’s so engrossed in his gardening book he wouldn’t notice if Udenkwo started making out with someone else.

Thomas wishes to rule the evil world.

Tolstoy pops the dishwasher open. Gilscarbo wanted the job too.

Marie Malifa is flirting with Rod Radon/Leo he was married to Coral Radon/Goldbeard before her death from the plague.

Aww Uglow has a little crush on Jeffrey Radon he’s Coral Goldbeard/Radon’s child with her first husband.

Tisha Caliente and Joseph Chatman wed quickly due a slip in the bedroom.

Gilscarbo And Blaine sitting in a tree, K I S S I N G first comes love, then comes marriage, then comes a baby in a baby carriage.

W13D4BB. Wednesday

Melvin Huber – he has a daughter with Lana Yamamoto has married Brandy Fennell.

Clint DeLong becomes the next victim of the plague. Clint was Julianne DeLong’s son with the late Randolph Patten.

Shortly after Elise Cervantes suffers the same fate. Elise was Edgar Taylor’s daughter.

I’ve been thinking about who my faves are. It’s the second set of triplets. Trollope, Twain and Tolstoy. Although I am rather partial to Tennyson.

But I do want a male heir if anyone cares. Vote male.

Of course that’s all very well and good, but the game doesn’t like Wednesday.

Seriously every Wednesday lunchtime the computer crashes or the game freezes. And with my save being about an hour before the crash/freeze now it’s lucky but it’s still a pain. I think it’s the mass school exodus but that normally doesn’t make It freeze.

Willis Inkbeard (Kyra’s half brother and ex of Dorothy Seabottom) has married Chanda Taylor (Virgil’s widow).

It’s sad that the toddlers died. I don’t like it when the young die. Elders well the females are pointless when it comes to Sims and well the males have past their prime and it does seem dodgy when one dates a young adult.

Vicky Coastal falls victim to the plague, mother of three. Partner of Andrae Darwin.

W13D5BB. Thursday.

Uglow props up the bar as she waits for someone to get the leftovers out the fridge for her.

Meet the latest Sim to have gained golden appendages! Yay. LTW met!

40points. Yay! Makes up for all bed wetting and passing out. I have a better score than I started out this update with. Just. Wonder how long it will last.

I don’t know what to do with her now. I suppose I better get the garden into shape.

Seth has taken to reading about handiness after work. Couldn’t be fishing which is desperately needed for work.

Sophia Malcolm has married Shane Ward. Sophia was married to Moe Malcolm/Goldbeard/Pesce who is the father of Agnes Seabottom’s son, she’s the mother of Verlaine’s twins; Deborah and Dorothy.

Oh and the majority of the plumbing is broken and nobody seems to care. They’re too busy doing homework or reading about how to fix it.

W13D6BB Friday.

Krissy Barbarossa and husband Emmanual welcome their first child together Elaina. She joins Emmanual’s daughter Mindy and Krissy’s teens Rosalind and Albert.
It was a home birth. They don’t want to risk the plague after all.

Speaking of which Hollie Yost has just passed from the dreaded plague. Yes she’s related. Let me check… Her late husband was Moshe Bowen/Yost who has a daughter with Michelle Taylor who is one of Verlaine’s children.

Sheree Huggins and fiancée Updike Pink welcome Curt. Sheree has a daughter with Bronson Marsh.

Lacy and Tate Darwin welcome son Max. He joins older sister Stacey, and half brothers Tristan and Blaine.

Harvest day has arrived. Don’t have a clue why so many of them have decided this would be fun.
Udenkwo gets a nice little moodlet being eco friendly and all. +25 during and for 3hrs after.

W13D7BB Saturday

Tisha Caliente and Joseph Chatman/Caliente welcome Rory. He is there first child.

Sherman DeLong married girlfriend Tawna Vogt after their second pregnancy becomes apparent.

Oh and newborn Aldo Rockwell passes from the plague. He’s very loosely related.

Gnome Watch: Lizzy,Pumpkin and Tipix in one.
Rachel watches as Rad tries to pull the shower over.
Db watches TV
Polly and Dec try to out handstand each other
Ant glares at sculptures.
Meowz entertains the upstairs bedroom
JC showers in the sprinklers

Today is also the day of the eldest triplets birthdays; Tennyson, Thomas and Tolkein. As I’m writing this none of them are winning. Despite the fact that I do really like Tolkein, I do want a male heir and I don’t want Thomas to be that heir. Of course they spend Saturday doing the homework they won’t get to hand in, and spinning in those insane circles.

Noon Witherspoon is officially dating Carey Vidal. He’s the half brother to one of the other Verlaine’s I think. My net is being patchy so checking is a bit tedious. A yes Carey is the beautiful Shonna Leone’s son with her husband.

Darn it someone made a puddle. Oh wait the dishwasher is broken thank Sims.
Darn it there’s another one and that can’t the dishwasher, or one of the many broken pieces of plumbing.

Seth is taking to fishing. He needs to fish for his job so we approve. And if he catches something then it’s all the better, seeing as Udenkwo is wanting to branch into the culinary arts.

When Blaine pops over to visit Gilscarbo the natural place for them to flirt is by the pond right next to Seth.

I’m pretty sure out lead guitarist will be getting a promotion.
