Beaker Family- Round 2

 

Here we are at 1 Tesla Court in Strangetown at the castle style home of the Beaker family.

If you remember last time Nervous Subject left the home to start a new life and so just two residents remain..

Loki Beaker... who was abducted by aliens last time. He was skilling away in order to reach the top of the Science career in true Knowledge Sim style.

He had just received a little inheritance from Olive Specter.

and Loki's wife Circe, she is Fortune, she dreams of fortune, she talks about fortune but her dearest wish is to become the Head of the SCIA in the intelligence field. 

As dawn breaks on this Thursday morning Loki maxed his cleaning skill and took a stroll off the lot to work. (Technically he's on maternity leave so his carpool doesn't arrive).

Strangely Circe loves Science and had a wish to make some medicine which she did, and sold for some much wanted cash.

Circe is currently a double agent, level 8. She met a new townie walking by and having just realised they are lacking in friends due to a) Nervous leaving, b) Loki not being particularly friendly and c) Circe being downright mean to everyone, she set about trying to make a friend or two for much needed promotions for her and Loki.

It paid off for Loki when he finished work and was promoted to Mad Scientist. He will have several days off now due to not needing to be at work until next Tuesday.

On Friday Loki is spilling the beans on private matters to anyone who will listen. Despite their 'trying' Circe is having no luck getting pregnant.

While Circe was at work Loki had the wish to hire a butler, which seems like a good idea given how strange this house is.

Loki enjoyed the butler's dinner of grilled salmon and was joined after work by the newly promoted to Elite Operative Circe.

In the very early hours of Saturday Loki maxed yet another skill.

then at 5.06am the labour pains started....

oh, an alien baby!

But you know what happens when a Sim hands the baby over..

Twins! A boy and girl.

Loki, being a name of Norse origin decided to continue with that and called his son Njord- which means God of Sea, Wind and Fishing and his daughter (held by Circe) is called Freya which means Goddess of Fertility, Prosperity and the Harvest.

Circe really wished she was at work but instead called up lots of acquaintances to further their friendships, she still needs a few more for her career to flourish.

She spent time at the telescope to earn all her logic skills.

Meanwhile Loki was being a great hands on dad.

He bribed paid his Butler to help out more with a nice wad of cash.

and later on Sunday as soon as he got the notification to grow up the twins he grabbed Freya and took her to the cake.

The only 'alien' feature she seems to have is large shaped eyes, even though they are blue like Loki's.

Loki started the toddler training straight away as Freya was bursting for the potty.

Then Circe got Njord to the cake,

and... wow... he is his Father's son! Nord has all alien features and some very serious eyebrows!

Njord is very Neat, Outgoing and Nice where Freya is very Active, Outgoing & Nice.

As Circe had some free time I made her help Loki with the toddler skills. :D

On Monday Freya finally learned to use the potty.

Njord learned that if he screamed really loudly someone would come and pick him up.

Circe is still working on her social skills, it takes her twice as long to befriend anyone as she is so mean and I can't even get her to use smart glasses as her needs aren't good enough as she just wants to buy stuff.

Loki decided to work off the baby fat by skipping.

Circe even looks mean when she is learning a charisma skill.

The Butler arrived on Tuesday as Circe collected the mail.

On Tuesday night Loki hired a nanny (after the butler had left) and went off for his first shift as a Mad Scientist.

Circe made best friends with Njord.

and the twins made good friends with one another.

Circe's car arrived on Wednesday to finally take her to work.

While she was gone it was birthday time for the twins.

Yes! Toddlerhood done!

and again a big sigh of relief. :D

It's still going swimmingly when Circe too reached the top of her career. LTW acheived.

I gave Freya custom hair colour and a face mask and she gave a big cheer.

and on Thursday morning, a week after we started, the family pose for one last picture until next time.

Summary-

whew... exhausting week with 2 babies/toddlers and Circe not only needing quite a few skills but friends too for her promotion.

They didn't visit anyone, invite anyone over and only socialised a couple of times with walkby's, such was the lack of time or so it felt.

I'm sure they'll make up for it next round!
