Gregory- Round 11- House 13

Welcome to the second Gregory Household. Both Plant sims are sons of Alvin Gregory, adopted son of ex-maid Lucy Hanby.

We start off pretty much where we left off with Plant Sim brothers Thorn and Frond (a Plant sim-Vampire) at war. 

If you remember last time they both were in love with Goopy (Gilscarbo) Pleasant and neither were tactful about it ending up in above enemy status scenario.

Also living here are Jan (Tellerman) who married Thorn last round but is already smitten with his half-brother Graham who just moved back after (finally) finishing college.

Romance loving Jan wishes for woohoo, a lot. In the tub, bed, wardrobe... you name it. :D

Frond, bless him (heh) is fried every day when he finishes work. His vampireyness does not do well in the sunlight.

Of course I am following wishes and Jan's was to make friends with Graham.

and Graham's was to flirt with Jan. Oh dear. :D

As cosy as it seems nothing actually happened, Graham just happened to get into the only bed in the house, with his friend. 

Having a gold badge in sewing meant Jan could style herself a new outfit. Perfect for Spring.

Her Captain Hero husband Thorn flew off to work.

and brother in law Frond arrived home in his usual happy, smoky state.

It was quicker for him to turn into a bat and fly upstairs into safety.

Just as Thorn arrived upstairs from his afternoon swim he caught Graham going in for a kiss with Jan.

'You Strumpet! I'm so mad right now all I can do is slap you!'

'I want a divorce and I want you to leave, right now!'

Thorn actually followed her to make sure she left the lot.

She did. :(

The other brothers decided to walk to work early the next day. :D

Poor Thorn didn't know what to do with himself so he made a call....

and threw a party. 

He spent most of the night stargazing while his brothers entertained the guests but still got a rocking party score.

Frond got engaged to Andrea Hogan last round, but this is the only time he saw her and never once rolled a wish to make further contact.

Plant Sims, they are a fickle bunch.

Graham apologises to Thorn for his part in the break up of his marriage to Jan.

'I don't know what came over me, it was like some kind of Wishful Thinking got me'. ;)

The brothers toiled in the garden all night, even when a freak hailstorm hit.

I think Thorn was hoping the hailstorm would kill his brother (not me- whistling innocently), but it didn't. 

It didn't put him in a great mood.

He recovered enough to go for a shift to his Gaming career though.

Then it was back to the garden where the summer pests were becoming a nuisance.

So Graham became a plant sim like his brothers.

They had a fun bonding evening. The feud between Thorn and Frond seems forgotten.

Maybe it's because Jan comes around every day to steal their paper or kick over their trash.

 Pleasure loving Graham doesn't really want to stay a Plant Sim of course, he loves to dance, go out, karaoke and all that fun stuff.

and of course throw parties...

 he tactfully invited Jan and even though Thorn was mad he did at least chat with her and lost enemy status.

She still nicked his newspaper.

 Yes it was Graham's wish... 

 and so it was granted.

He got a great boost of points for getting 30 best friends. His secondary aspiration being Popularity.

Frond is still wearing silly costumes to work, he loves to scare his driver of a morning though. Bleh!

Thorn is calling a gathering at his house...

 Here comes the family and other guests.

 'Well Christian I thought you might like to talk to this lady, I mean you're old and she's old...'

I think Thorn needs to stop playing cupid to Christian Love. His name suggests maybe he can find his own partner in life doesn't it?

Summary:-

Well the game really played itself this round with Graham and Jan wanting to flirt endlessly. Last round Thorn impulsively married Jan after a date and I didn't particularly want them together so it played out nicely.

She's in her own place now and ready to join the end of the round as a playable.

I know last round I was going to let Frond have a plant baby, but I forgot what with 

everything going on and he never wished for it, so maybe next round. 

Maybe next round he'll also wish to see his fiancée, poor Andrea. 

He's coping well with his Plant Sim Vampirism. He has to run to the carpool and fly upstairs quickly when he gets home but he only needs 2 showers a day and he can pretty much stay outside all night, just having to cook under a lamp for a short time.

Happy Simming.
