Chapter 2.10

The Kooks are back with another chapter! Last time we lost a bunch of points because almost everyone forgot how to use a toilet, more chaos ensued, and the twins aged up to toddlers! What will we get up to this time?

Here’s a great start to the chapter… Cindy gets abducted! Don’t worry about bringing her back. Our house is too full as it is.

Meanwhile, Christopher is hard at work learning the potty skill! And looking majorly cute too!

Ben: I pray to thee, Watcher in the heavens above, guide this child towards the light as she slumbers…

Stop being creepy Ben! And thanks Mckenna for losing another -5 points! This chapter isn’t off to the best start.

Oh no, not you too!! Sun Young loses yet another -5 points. I wouldn’t be surprised if we hit zero points soon.

At least Ryan is learning the potty skill! Toddlers make such cute faces.

No, Salem didn’t get fluffy. For some reason, stray cats like to wander into the house and play with the pet toys.

Here’s Salem! I think one cat and one dog is enough for this family right now. Bye stray cat!

Family Updates! Anakin, being the mucho creep he is, can’t seem to leave Gennie alone.Hannah and Donnovan weren’t meant to last anyway. That guy already have a couple kids with other women. You’re better off without him Hannah.Yay! Babies! I will try to get a picture of Kristen once she grows up a bit! 😀And more babies! (As well as an non-rendering Frankie. Oh well.)Good for you Frankie. He actually marries the woman he knocked up, unlike his half-brother, Anakin, who is STILL stalking his ex!As I said, he is STILL stalking her! Anyway… we interrupt our extended family update for important news!

It’s birthday time! Derp face and all!

An over-emotional, insane genius is just what we needed. 😉 I’m interested to see what Kim gets up to with these traits.

Oh gosh, honey, that look is WAY to futuristic for me.

There! Isn’t she cute? Seriously though, where did the blonde hair come from? It goes well with her eyes though. 🙂

Ryan is happily playing with the xylophone. Oh the joys of being a carefree toddler.

And Christopher is enjoying the block table. They are just the cutest!

Lee doesn’t always go around breaking things. He does clean sometimes when no one else seems to do it.

It’s Kim’s first day of school! And she’s wearing her snowsuit in the middle of spring. She’s a Kook, that’s for sure.

Later that night…

Mckenna: So grams, since the blonde passed out how about you read ME that bed time story?

These kids drive me nuts. Oh, I’m desperately tired and could pass out any second. Time for a story! Fail Kim! Fail! (-5 points) 😦

Mckenna: Yes! My plan worked! I’ll just put sleeping pills in her dinner every night and she’ll pass out all the time! Soon enough I will be the heir to the kingdom! Mwahahaha! Right after I take a nap though.

Cindy: No bed time stories tonight dear, I’m pretty tired from doing nothing all day.

I hate to break it to ya Mckenna, but you aren’t eligible for heir anyway so quit trying!

So she wanders into the kitchen of all places and passes out. YOU WERE JUST IN YOUR BEDROOM! GAH! (-5 points)

Ben: Watcher! I demand to know the meaning of this! These young’uns are ruining all my hard work!

I know Ben, I’m just as frustrated as you.

WHAT IS THIS?! ‘Let’s take a dirt nap day’? Thanks Lee for losing us yet another -5 points!

Kim: Gramma I’m sleepy. When are you going to read me a story?

JUST GO TO BED KIM!

Cindy: I doubt any of these kids will graduate at this rate.

At least Chris and Ryan are young enough to not cause trouble. They just have to focus on learning skills. 🙂

Awe, Mckenna is helping around the house. I was starting to worry the flies would overrun the place with how many dirty dishes this family leaves behind. And Kim is doing homework! Yay!

Baby Pablo was born! I’m sure Frankie would be happy if he ever rendered properly.One skill down, two to go!Even Ryan is well on his way to learning his skills!Two skills down, just one more for Chris! 😀Spooky day is here and Frankie decided to throw a costum party! (Wasn’t I just commenting on how it was spring? Yah, just goes to show nothing SUPER exciting happens to the Kooks, like ever.)

Kenneth was the only one who wanted to go, so the Rocket Man showed up looking for an awesome party.

Sadly, he was disappointed.

Kenneth: Rockin’ party, bro.

Frankie: Who talks like that anymore?

Frankie, Pansy, and Kenneth were the only ones there. And I would have got a picture of Pablo, but he wasn’t even on the lot. I guess Frankie and Pansy don’t live together yet.

Richard invites Kenneth to go to his party, and since nothing is happening at Frankie he decides to give it a shot.

Kenneth gets to Richard’s house, and guess what? No one is there. Except for this magician who couldn’t do half his tricks properly.

Magician: Now you see them… now you don’t! Ta-da! *cards shoot everywhere*

Kenneth: I don’t think you know what you’re doing. Just sayin’. Can I go home now? I’m tired.

Suddenly the camera goes nuts and we are taken to this grisly scene. Who killed Cindy Kook? I suspect Ben, in the bathroom, with the pipe. Can anyone disprove me?

AH-HA! It was Ben in the bathroom! 😀

Ben: *wails hysterically* How can you say such things?!

Gosh, I’m joking. Calm down.

Ben: My wife just DIED and you’re telling me to calm down?!

Even though Ben and Cindy’s relationship was pretty much non-existent, he still cries like a baby during her passing.

Hello Grimm, we meet again.

Grimm: Greetings Watcher. I believe I am here to collect the soul of one Ben Kook?

Nope, check your list again. Ben is very much alive and kicking… Cindy on the other hand…

Grimm: I see. You’ve slipped through my grip again old friend.

Grimm: Hello Cindy. It is time for you to go to the Netherworld.

Cindy: *gasp* Really? Did I win a trip somewhere? Cool!

Grimm: Um, no, actually you died of old age.

Cindy: NO! Please Grimm, old buddy, spare my life like you did for Ben all those years ago! I don’t want to leave!

Grimm: Yah… about that…

Hey! You gave Ben his life back in trade for a rare Death Flower! That was a fair trade!

Grimm: I understand the terms of the deal we made that day. No other Kook shall fool me again. Come now Cindy, I’m a busy Reaper and have several other stops to make.

And so the family witnesses the first real death of the Kook Legacy. You will be missed Cindy Kook, most of the time a loving wife, mother, and grandmother. Sad days are a head for the Kooks.

Chapter 2.9

Welcome back! Last time we witnessed a bunch of birthdays and Sun Young gave birth to TWINS! Now we have an over-crowded household. Let the chaos begin! 😀

First, I would like to point out how this family can’t seem to clean up after itself. I’m beginning to think they should hire a maid, or get Bonehilda… on second though, no Bonehilda. Maid maybe. We’ll see.

No sooner did Sun Young put her new born son into his crib, she danced a little jig and lost us -5 points. I know you just gave a home birth but come on! We are not off to a good start on this chapter.

Meanwhile, Ben whips out his trusty old sleeping bag to sleep on the floor next to one of his new grandsons. D’awe. 🙂

Lee: T-REX SMASH!! HAHAHAHAHA!!!

You are an EVIL child! Who smashes innocent doll houses?!

Kenneth: Why would you do that?! Your nieces and nephews will be so upset that you broke their toy! You are grounded mister!

Lee: You’re not my dad! I don’t have to listen to you!

Brothers… they always fight. BEN! Come discipline your youngest son! BEN!?

Ben: I’m busy. Come back later.

Kenneth: I am the head of this family now and you will do as I say! You can start by cleaning up around here.

Lee: I can’t wait to leave this trash heap behind.

Oh yah! Earlier that day Kenneth ‘saved the day’ and earned another promotion! These Kooks are rolling in dough! 😀

O.O CINDY! Put some clothes on! GAH!

I guess Lee didn’t clean up like you asked?

Kenneth: No, good for nothing little twerp… *grumble grumble*

I entertained the idea of sending Mckenna and Lee off to boarding school but it somehow seemed cheaty to do so. They get up to so much mischief.

At least Kim is young enough to not get into trouble. And she’s hard at work learning her skills!

Sun Young: Mother! Put some clothes on! Think of the children!

Cindy: *choke* No wonder I feel such a draft!

Mckenna: It’s too early for this, I want to go back to bed.

More toddler skills! She’s such a good little girl… for now.

Lee: I don’t care what big brother Ken says, I’ll eat all the ice cream I want! He’s not my dad!

Seriously Lee… you’re too young to have daddy issues. BEN! COME LOOK AFTER YOUR YOUNGEST! He needs you!

Ben: BUSY!

DOING WHAT?!

Ben: IGNORING YOU! Hahahahaha!

I miss being able to control Ben at times. D:

At least he attempts to interact with some members of the family. He and Dusty are very close (yes, Dusty is STILL around and seems to be immortal, he’s around 130 now) and Ben spends time with his grandchildren. So I can’t complain about him too much.

Ben: Deep down I knew you loved me!

I’ll miss you when you’re gone :,( but let’s not think about that now!

YAY! Hannah has aged up to a Young Adult! And she got a job at the local science facility. Interesting… (SIDE NOTE: Remember how I said I might do a story for Hannah? Now that she’s a YA I can finally start it! 😀 )

She aged pretty well! I will keep you all updated on when her story will come out! 😀

And speaking of aliens. That’s Kenneth down there, sorry it’s so dark. Moving on!

Family Updates! It looks like Anakin is still with his new love interest!

AND HE KNOCKED HER UP! Yay Anakin babies! The Kook bloodline will continue in story progression! YES! 😀

Hannah seems to have found a love interest as well. 😉

And a non-rendering Frankie is still going strong with Pansy!

I think Kenneth has taken the role of fatherhood quite well. 🙂

Except where Mckenna is concerned. She spent all night at a friends house (without permission), got kicked out, but still didn’t go home. Oh no, she thought she would get revenge by peeing on their porch! (-5 points!) NOW GO HOME MCKENNA!

On a happier note, Kim is well on her way to becoming a well rounded toddler.

All three skills have been learned! 😀

WHAT?! Not you too Lee! Another -5 points. These children with be the death of me.

Birthday time! First up is Ryan!

BAM! Sparkles!

Now it’s Christopher’s turn! Ryan looks so precious in the background watching his brother age up! 😀

BAM! More sparkles!

Chris: Haha! I’m the cute one!

Ryan: *pouts* No fair!

Now boys… you are both adorable. Be prepared folks! We’ve got a couple lookers here!

Ryan got Kenneth’s hair, complete with yellow highlights! And he got Cindy’s eyes. I’m glad Cindy’s eye colour has been passed along, it is pretty cool.

Chris got the black hair! Either from Ben or Sun Young, it’s hard to tell. He did get Sun Young’s eyes though!

And we’ll end the chapter there with those cute faces! Some points were lost but hopefully they will be made up again soon! 😀

Chapter 2.8

Welcome back! Last time Kenneth and Sun Young returned home from China, the family adopted a super cute stray cat, and Sun Young gave birth to our first heir! Let’s see how the family is doing with a new bundle of joy in the house!

Mckenna is such a cute alien! And it’s birthday time!

Oh gosh, Mckenna got Evil to go along with Genius and Loves the Cold. We have an evil genius on our hands!

TA-DA! Isn’t she cute? I like the hair.

Ben: Mckenna! What are you wearing? Don’t let me being a star go to your head! Young people these days, always wanting their 15 minutes of fame!

Mckenna: Whoa grandpa! What’s your problem?

Ben, stop frightening the children. Go work in your garden or something!

Ben: Young’uns these days, no respect for anyone.

Yup, Kenneth and Sun Young are at it again! We have one legacy baby, let’s have another! 😀

Ben is such a good grandpa. If you’re not an alien it seems.

Kenneth has always taken to the role of parenting quite well. Good job Kenneth.

Kenneth: I was the ignored child growing up. I try not to do that to my kids.

Awe. 🙂

Look who it is! Sun Young has an upset tummy so baby #2 must be on its way!

Oh hi aliens! You want to abduct Cindy this time. Well… ok.

Kenneth: I have now mastered Sim-Fu!

No you haven’t. You are level 6 or something. Where’s your new belt?

Kenneth: I don’t know.

I couldn’t figure out which one was his new one. I will try to figure it out. 😦

It’s confirmed! The next heir is one its way! Will it be another girl? Or will it be a boy?

CINDY! WHAT DID YOU DO?!

Cindy: Oh, oh my. I’m so embarrassed, I hope no one saw that.

I SAW THAT! Thanks Cindy (-5 points), and we were doing so well.

Family Updates! Frankie is BACK with Naomi. Again, his picture wouldn’t render and I’m getting annoyed with him so… yah.

Anakin is STILL stalking his ex-lover. This is getting a bit old Anakin.

This Phoenix guy is constantly in pop-ups about setting things on fire. He struck again at Anakin’s house!

Thanks for finally rendering Frankie! Oh, you’re getting married? After how many break-ups? Who wants to bet this wont last.

More birthdays!

These poor kids didn’t learn any of their skills. Lee got Hot-Headed to go with Absent-Minded and Easily Impressed. That’s an interesting combination of traits forming.

Does anyone else think the aliens pretty much all look the same? It’s the eyes, nose, and mouth I think.

Their next victim is Kenneth. I wont keep you in suspense, this abduction did not result in a pregnancy.

Mckenna: BOO! That’s for taking up all my dad’s time!

Sun Young: *Gasp!* I had no clue someone was there!

Mckenna! It’s not nice to scare pregnant ladies! She does this at least once a day.

But she also does her homework. Sometimes. So I can’t complain too much.

The mandatory ‘kids on the school bus’ shot. Neither of them are doing that great in school.

Bonding time!

Cindy: It’s nice to see a normal pregnancy around here for once.

Sun Young: I had a normal pregnancy with Kim though. Don’t you remember?

Cindy: I have a granddaughter named Kim?

Poor Cindy, her memory isn’t what it use to be.

Lee brought a friend home from school! I don’t know her name though, didn’t catch it. At least they’re being good kids and working on homework together!

Mckenna is doing homework too, just not at the house. I don’t really know where she is. o.O

And Kenneth is… PASSED OUT?! NO! WHY?! (-5 points) I expected better from you Kenneth!

See? I told you it wouldn’t take long. Poor Frankie, although, now he can find a younger woman and procreate, yes? Would that be too much to ask?

Birthdays for everyone! 😀

O.O Um… where did the blonde hair come from? *quickly checks Kim’s family tree* Okay… so Kenneth IS the father… weird. She has Cindy’s eyes so she MUST be related! I don’t think Ben’s eyes got passed down. Sad times. But Kim is a cutie! 😀

Kenneth spends some father-daughter bonding time with Kim. I love their faces.

Toddler skills! I’m glad Kenneth didn’t take notes about how his parents raised kids. I think he’s doing a much better job.

Kenneth: That might be the nicest thing you’ve ever said.

Ben: She lies! I was an exemplary parent!

Hush Ben! You’re ruining the moment!

O.O WHAT?!?!?! You were even right next to the toilet!!!! GAH!! CINDY!! (-5 points)

Sun Young: Mother, dear, maybe you should lie down. I’ll help you clean up.

Cindy: I’m sorry dear, my bladder just isn’t what it use to be.

I think we’ve lost most of our points due to Cindy. -.-‘

On the upside, Anakin has found himself a nice young lady to date! *Prays for more Anakin babies*

Speaking of babies… Kenneth! Get in here! Oh wait, he’s at work. Looks like you’re having a home birth Sun Young! I’m here for you!

Yay! A boy this time! Welcome the the world little Christopher!

So I rolled Christopher’s next trait and got Disciplined (not a bad combo with Brave) however, I forgot momentarily about my self-imposed rule of all heirs must have the Insane trait. So here’s hoping he does well in school so I can pick his next trait.

Um. What? You had TWINS? YAY TWINS! (+10 points!) Welcome to the world little Ryan!

Ryan got the Insane trait randomly, and that’s when I remembered my self-imposed rule while playing and went derp. Like I said, hopefully Chris does well in school. 🙂
