The Pause Legacy - Ch. 18: The Mirror Is For Evil Poses Only

Slide 1: 

Previously, Kavalee became a teenager and caught some more fish, the triplets grew up into children and Jacqueline got herself an evil boyfriend and still had Locke wrapped around her nefarious finger.

Slide 2: 

Two of the triplets begin their childhood by fighting over the bathroom. Dawn: “You done yet? Girls are meant to go first. That’s how it is.”

Slide 3: 

Samson: “Get lost. You’re not meant to look at your brother’s wiener. That’s just wrong.”

Slide 4: 

Dawn: “What wiener? I didn’t see anything down there.” *smirk*

Slide 5: 

Jacqui: “Hey, remember that time when I demeaned you in front of my boyfriend. Pretty funny hey?”

Slide 6: 

Locke: “Haha, yeah....that didn’t give me self-esteem issues or anything like that honey.....”

Slide 7: 

It was Jedda’s birthday on the same day as the triplets but I totally forgot about her (oops) so she aged after everyone had already left the party.

Slide 8: 

Great Kisser :D Now that’s a trait everyone would like to have.

Slide 9: 

It was many hours after the triplet’s birthday party had finished but this guy was still hanging around. Mohawk: “Now that she’s a teen she’s bound to notice my toned body and rebellious haircut. Girls are so easy to understand.”

Slide 10: 

Jedda: “Umm..Who’s the geek in the other room? Can he not afford clothes or hair?”

Slide 11: 

Kavalee was out fishing when he was busted for breaking curfew. Run for it Kav!!!

Slide 12: 

No, don’t run towards the cop car! Watch out, she’s got a concealed weapon!

Slide 13: 

Policewoman: “Bwahahahaha, he’ll never see me behind this tree. I’m gonna wrench him good.”

Slide 14: 

Jacqui: “You got caught! My own son, a descendant of a great thief such as myself and he got caught by the police! You now, in my whole thief career I have never been busted!” Kavalee: “Whoa, calm down. I wasn’t doing anything bad. I was only fishing.”

Slide 15: 

Jacqui: “I know! That’s the problem! I didn’t get impregnated so I could raise a son that would embarrass me by fishing all night instead of wreaking havoc and causing chaos, and getting caught.”

Slide 16: 

Kavalee: “You don’t understand me! I hate this family!” Jacqui: “Oh yes, I never tire of your amateur dramatics. Instead of running off and crying you might want to consider growing a pair instead son.”

Slide 17: 

Jude: “You know, I was quite inappropriate as a teen such as yourself. I could teach you a thing or two about being mean spirited. Like I always laughed and pointed at people getting old, and I painted a portrait of my brother who hates art, and one time I made out with my father’s psychotic girlfriend who was pregnant at the time-”

Slide 18: 

Jedda: “God you’re boring! How can a dead guy be this boring!” Jude: “Really? That last thing normally has good shock value.” Jedda: “I’ll reiterate....”

Slide 19: 

Jedda: “BOR-ING!”

Slide 20: 

Kavalee: “Wow, you made mini-muffins Jedda? They look tasty.” Jedda: “I didn’t make them. I found them inside the kiddie oven.”

Slide 21: 

Kavalee: *CHOKE* “The kiddie oven!?!?! I made these muffins when I was a kid!” Dawn: “You’re making us all eat muffins that are a million years old!?” Jedda: “What do you mean us all? I got mine from the fridge.”

Slide 22: 

*sneak* *sneak* *sneak*

Slide 23: 

Jedda: “Your hair is as fake as your love for Dad!” Jacqui: “Who told you!?” I didn’t know non-evil sims could scare others autonomously! Awesome. Cool hidden trait picked up by Jedda :D

Slide 24: 

Dawn: “Look at me, I’m mummy in the form of a doll, I like to scare daddy because he is weak!”

Slide 25: 

Locke-Doll: “I refuse to live like this anymore. TAKE THAT AND THAT AND THAT!” Jacqui-Doll: “Stop it, you’re crushing me!”Locke-Doll: “I know! Soon I will be free!”

Slide 26: 

Jacqui-Doll: “Guess who!” Locke-Doll: “But I just killed you!” Jacqui-Doll: “Fool, you think that I could die just by you killing me. Think again!”

Slide 27: 

For the second night in a row, Kavalee is caught, beaten up with a wrench and dragged home. Kavalee: “I’m just trying to catch a deathfish...why won’t they let me fish in peace.”

Slide 28: 

Locke: “I try my hardest to raise you not to be influenced by your mother and where were you?! Traipsing around at night up to villainy.” Kavalee: “I was only fishing.”

Slide 29: 

Locke: “The policewoman said she found you at the cemetery. The only reason people go to cemeteries at night is to perform demonic rituals. Don’t lie to me. What were you doing there?” Kavalee: “.....fishing.”

Slide 30: 

Kavalee took offense to Locke’s suggestions and faked passing out. Locke got bored and went inside to sculpt. Jacqui: “Oh look someone left a little girl out on my doorstep. Too bad I already have too many girls who don’t know how to even rob a convenience store.”

Slide 31: 

Kavalee: “Was that remark about me? I can’t believe they let their eldest son lie out in the cold without even a hint of concern. Not even a crinkle of the forehead.”

Slide 32: 

After the failed attempt at getting attention Kavalee went right back to the cemetery and failed to catch an impressive sized deathfish. Kavalee: “200 kilos? I’m embarrassing myself here.”

Slide 33: 

For some reason Jedda rolled her LTW to be at the top of the medical career. I’m guessing it’s because she can gloat how healthier she is than all of her patients. Jedda heads off to the hospital to get a part-time job rockin’ a motorbike. A bit too much for a teen to drive?

Slide 34: 

Jedda: “Mum would be disappointed if I didn’t drive by motorbike.” Touché.

Slide 35: 

Archer: “Samson! You’ll never believe this dream I had. I was speeding down the slopes on these jet powered skis and I launched myself into a hot air balloon which took me to London where I stopped Mum from stealing the priceless Queen Emerald and I arrested her and was a hero!”

Slide 36: 

Archer: “And when I woke up I decided that I want to be an international super spy!” Samson: “Whaaaaaaat!?”

Slide 37: 

Samson: “You can’t be an international super spy because I had the same dream and it made me want to be an international super spy!” Archer: “You can’t be one. You hate going outside! I’m smart and eccentric. I’ll invent all the gadgets and save the day.” Samson: “No stupid. The inventors are the nerdy helpers in the lab! I’m the brave one!”

Slide 38: 

Dawn: “What are you two buttmunchers arguing about now?” Archer: “Nothing! Who gets to put spiders in your bed!” Samson: “We’re going to find spiders so scary they have 14 legs!” Dawn: “There’s no such thing you weirdos. Is there?”

Slide 39: 

Samson: “Please forgive my harsh words. Let us not fight each other. We should team up and fight the common enemy.” Archer: “You mean Dawn?” Samson: “Exactly.”

Slide 40: 

Archer: “Cool, that will make us a super secret twin-brother spy team. We’ll be unstoppable.” Samson: “You should look into that DNA stuff and invent a spider with 14 legs.” Archer: “I’ll have it to you by the end of the day.”

Slide 41: 

Kavalee: “Don’t worry, I have a licence...”

Slide 42: 

Kavalee: “For the guns!”

Slide 43: 

Kavalee: “Phew, coming up with all these humorous muscle analogies is quite exhausting. Sometimes it’s a burden being so chiselled.”

Slide 44: 

The kids absorb the new wall flat-screen television by watching something definitely inappropriate for Samson’s age.

Slide 45: 

Samson: “Why is that man taking so many photos of those two kissing? Is he a giant pervert or something?” Jedda: “To use for blackmail later of course. It’s my favourite use of a photo. Apart from the sheer fun of embarrassing people of course.”

Slide 46: 

Kavalee: “Wait...Is that why there are pictures of me in my purple underwear plastered all over school!? “

Slide 47: 

Samson: “Embarrassing photos? That’s sounds like a fun way to torture Dawn.”

Slide 48: 

Jedda: “I had better be a good photo, the little troll threw away my fruit salad because she said the pesticides they use lead over 100 species of birds to extinction every year. Pffft, what do I care. It’s not like I’m trying to eat the birds or anything. It’s not like they were needed.” Kavalee: “Yeah, I bet that she would eat from the rubbish bin if you said it was organic.”

Slide 49: 

Dawn: “Hey, I’m sitting right here!” Jedda/Kav/Samson: “We know.”

Slide 50: 

Jedda: “Ooooh look at me. I’m Dawn and I love vegetables. I want them to be my friends. I will save them from the harsh chemicals and then I will betray their trust and eat them!”

Slide 51: 

Jacqui: “Are you mocking Dawn for her choice of lifestyle?” Jedda: “Sure am. Wanna join?” Jacqui: “Who do you take me for. Of course I do.”

Slide 52: 

Jacqui: “Who cares where food come from as long as it’s in front of me when I’m hungry!” Jedda: “Tell her mum!”

Slide 53: 

Dawn: “My childhood will be long and arduous won’t it.” I’m not going to lie to you Dawn, you won’t enjoy it.

Slide 54: 

Archer: “Uh oh, my triplet senses are tingling. My desire to protect is overriding my desire to hate.”

Slide 55: 

Archer: “Dawn is right. You should care where food comes from. More and more pesticides mean that one day you’ll turn into an ugly mutant! Or that food will be so toxic, it’ll eat through the plates, and there will be nothing for the food to sit on!” Dawn: “That’s not exactly the reason.”

Slide 56: 

Archer: I can’t believe I spoke back! I’m going to die! I’m only little, it’s so unfair! Maybe if I keep staring at her she’ll think I’m not afraid and leave me alone...

Slide 57: 

Jedda: “Why you...-hit him Mum. Backhand him good.” Jacqui: “I can’t. There’s no fear in his eyes. How is that any fun.”

Slide 58: 

Dawn: “....Thanks for sticking up for me back there.” Archer: “....That’s okay, I guess.” Dawn: “...........So anyway, I still hate you.” Archer: “Hate you too sis.” :D

Slide 59: 

Jedda works at the hospital with some old lady whose name I forgot. Judging by Jedda’s reaction she is obviously a close talker. Close Talker: “So Jedda darling, how are you enjoying your first week at the hospital?” Jedda: “Whoa, there you are....right in my face.”

Slide 60: 

Jedda: “How do you think I’m going in this stupid career. I can’t do a single shift without getting pee on me. How hard it is to wait until you find a bathroom! I’m soaked in their urine and then they have the nerve to complain of chest pains! I want to rip off my urine-soaked uniform and shove it down their throat!”

Slide 61: 

Close Talker:“Okaaaaay, why don’t I see if I can get a job somewhere where there is less bodily fluids.” Jedda: “Yeah, you better. And buy some damned breath mints.”

Slide 62: 

It was the time in the legacy to go spouse hunting. For some reason I thought the library might prove to be fortuitous. Luckily I was right. Jedda met a very cute blue haired boy called Peter, who I forgot to take a photo of from the front. Let’s she if she take advantage of her new trait soon ;D

Slide 63: 

Some pretty girls were there too but Kavalee thought that reading about trout was a better use of his time. I worry about Kav sometimes.

Slide 64: 

Dawn: “Why were you at the lake all night yesterday, with all those radioactive barrels around you? Were you getting paid to hide radioactive waste in our water supply?” Jacqui: “I was doing no such thing. I was merely giving the fish some light so they don’t have to be afraid of the dark.” Locke: Please don’t tell me Dawn falls for these kinds of pitiful lies.

Slide 65: 

Dawn: “You seriously don’t expect me to fall for these kind of pitiful lies do you?” Jacqui: “Yes I do.” Locke: Maybe there’s hope for one of my kids yet.

Slide 66: 

Jacqueline is now a master thief. Aside from the cool uniform she also like to bring home statues and useless paintings.

Slide 67: 

Plus the fox-thief statue which I would like to have myself.

Slide 68: 

Archer has not invented the hideous 14 legged spider yet, but he has succeeded in “inventing” a drinking llama, and a ball clicky-thing. Okay fine, Newton’s Cradle. Way less fun to say though.

Slide 69: 

Locke is now able to sculpt topiaries which I think is just an excuse to wield a dangerous weapon for self defence.

Slide 70: 

Locke: “I call it Jacqueline.”

Slide 71: 

Jacqueline the topiary dragon was put to good use guarding the ancestors along with the wooden fish.

Slide 72: 

With this lobster Kavalee has just reached LTW of the perfect aquarium. Luckily there are about 10 other fish to get still to keep him occupied. Be careful how you’re holding that lobster Kav.

Slide 73: 

Dawn: “Blah, my name is Mummy. I think animals are stupid and environmental disasters are entertaining. I’m evil and I don’t understand love or compassion. I want everyone to suffer. This is my normal face. BLAH!”

Slide 74: 

Jacqui: “Dawn, Mummy’s mirror is not a play thing. Serious plotting and evil faces are to be used for this mirror only.”Dawn: “I was plotting.” Jacqui: “Making fun of me is not plotting, it’s a death sentence.”

Slide 75: 

Jacqui: “Someone call animal control. My pythons are out!” Jedda: “Eh, that sound like something Kavalee would say.”

Slide 76: 

Jedda: “Anyway, Dad’s making googly-eyes at some tramp outside. Thought you’d like to know and beat him up or something.” Jacqui: “Oh is he now. Thank you, I think I will.”

Slide 77: 

Locke was indeed making googly-eyes at someone outside. Story-teller must have felt that Locke and Jacqueline were wrong for each other as they both hooked up with someone else. Locke’s girl is Lorraine and they just stare at each other for hours.

Slide 78: 

Jacqui: “Jedda was right! There is a pathetic woman outside trying to steal my lover away from me!” Lorraine: “Pathetic?” Jacqui: “Pigtails? Are you serious? What, did you just come home from your first day of kindergarten?” Lorraine: “They frame my face!”

Slide 79: 

Jacqui: “She thinks she can pry away Locke from me! The sheer thought is ludicrous. Now I’m going to embarrass you further and make out with your so called man. Come here Locke.” Locke: “No.”

Slide 80: 

Jacqui: “What do mean no?” Locke: “Exactly what is sounds like. I’m sick of fearing for my life everyday. Lorraine has inspired confidence in me. Even if I die horribly, I’m not going to put up with your demonic ways any longer!”

Slide 81: 

Lorraine: “Yeah, that’s what I thought.”

Slide 82: 

Jacqui: “Well, I’ll just have to call up my boyfriend so he can come around and we can make you too jealous and then plot your demise!”

Slide 83: 

They were no longer listening. They were smooching it up in a gut-wrenching adorable way.

Slide 84: 

Jackson: “Sorry I’m late. I was in the middle of setting a nursing home on fire. I had to leave mid-blaze.”

Slide 85: 

Jacqui: “You came over to me even though you could of stayed and watched a nursing home burn down and listen to the joy of old people crying about their lost memories and possessions?” Jackson: “You mean that much to me my apocalyptic bringer.” Jacqui: “I think I’m in love.”

Slide 86: 

Now these two get all lovey-dovey. You’d think I’d concede and let them be with their chosen loves, but I can’t do it. I don’t want Locke without Jacqueline or Jacqueline without Locke. It may not be true love or love at all....but they belong together....in some weird way.

Slide 87: 

Oh look! Now they’re being even more adorable and jumping together and smiling! You’re making this more difficult!

Slide 88: 

Wait a minute, I know that look of Lorraine’s......and that reaction of Locke’s...

Slide 89: 

Locke: “Funny question, you wouldn’t happen to be evil would you?” Lorraine: “Yes, what of it?”

Slide 90: 

Locke: “What of it? Oh I don’t know. Maybe for nearly my whole adult life I have lived with an evil, demonic woman who seduced me in order to have offspring I would secretly fear. I live everyday wondering whether today is the day she gets bored of me and I disappear. I sculpt for hours on end because it means I have a weapon in my hand!”

Slide 91: 

Locke: “Then this amazing woman, as if sent from heaven, comes into my life and I finally feel I could lead a happy life. But as it turns out, this woman was sent from hell! You lied to me.” Lorraine: “I never lied. I merely failed to mention it.” Locke: “That’s the same thing. You’re just like Jacqueline, playing with my feeling like they were a toy.”

Slide 92: 

Lorraine: “How dare you compare me to that woman. I can’t even look at you right now.” Locke: “If you’ll just listen...”

Slide 94: 

Locke: “Listen, I thought we had something, but I can’t start another relationship that leads down the same abusive path. I don’t know whether work out between us....”

Slide 95: 

Lorraine: “Maybe I am evil. But it’s not all I am. I know you’re scared of what I would do to you, but we’re all not like Jacqueline. We don’t all want world domination and hell on earth. Some of just like creating a bit of misery here and there. You may never understand that, but understand this; I love you, with all my heart.....and if you let past experiences ruin your life, then you’ll never know what could have been.”

Slide 96: 

Locke: “Lorraine, I love you too. What could have been is what still could be.”

Slide 97: 

All this mushy romance is making me nauseous. Get out of my legacy mushy romance!!!

Slide 98: 

Locke sure can pick ‘em.....or get picked by them. Not only is she evil, she’s a klepto which is perfect for her career....as Jacqueline's protégé. Lorraine: “That statue would look nice in my bathroom.”

Slide 99: 

Ending the chapter on a happy note. FINALLY! Can you believe there was only one birthday this whole chapter. Is that some sort of record? BYE FOR NOW :D
