The latest happenings of Sim City

Previously: Episode One, Episode Two, Episode Three, Episode Four

Time for more birthdays! The twins now leave teenage-land behind to join the ranks of unemployed young adults. A birthday cake was purchased (for Innloine saw no need to waste money on two cakes) and Iris, although the last born, got to blow out her candles first. It is possible her birthday wish involved her father somehow and not in a way he would like. Isabelle just liked having birthday parties.

When it came time for Isabelle, the young woman was getting a little antsy to have some cake in her belly. Joanne would have liked some cake but one look at her stepmother convinced her it might be best to eat an apple. Ivy was ignored and left to fend for herself in the living room. And yes, Innloine is nearly always in her underwear.

Everyone, including Iris, was surprised when Iris started having an immense desire to get married and start a family. Isabelle just wanted a job so she could buy a better couch. And to get laid by Osvaldo.

It is now we pause and reflect on an incident that occurred just before Isabelle left to get her hair done: a fire broke out in the kitchen. A fire also broke out on one of the girls’ previous birthdays. It would seem the Fire God is trying to tell the world something about these oh so loving twins. Innloine seemed only mildly curious about these freakish incidents.

During this period Ivy managed to go from toddler to child and from child to teen without anyone in the family really noticing.

Reuben did begin to notice the increase in male activity in the household. When Ivy brought home a “friend” dressed like hippie, Reuben could control himself no longer and pleaded with the young man to leave his daughter alone and save the family from looking at his horrible wardrobe. Did they not suffer enough having to live in a home decorated by Innloine?

After a make out session lasting until two in the morning, Isabelle decided enough was enough and proposed to Osvaldo. And, further proving she is Innloine 2.0, she did it in front of the garbage can. Osvaldo was not offended in the least and said yes.

Not to be outdone, Iris moved in a wigga off the street named Marcus. He cleaned bed pans at the hospital, but at least he was gainfully employed! Although it would seem Iris cared little about his actual job or personality for that matter.

Needless to say, when Innloine woke up the next morning she was not a happy camper. She promptly forced Iris and her new boytoy to move upstairs into the attic. The downside was she could now hear everything these two did in their brand new bed while she herself tried to catch some shuteye.

Isabelle, being the impatient creature that she is, met up with Osvaldo after work one day and had a marriage ceremony then and there. Sick of living in cramped quarters, she promptly left the homestead and moved into the Goth mansion with new hubby.

In a surprising twist, a man proposed to a Francois girl. And indoors! Marcus pledged to move up in his career and give Iris many babies if she would only accept his ring. Iris can’t say no to a man in a wifebeater and so she said yes.

With Isabelle out of the nest and Ivy having no interest in the matter, it seemed Innloine had no choice but to declare Iris her heir. At least she is minty fresh!
