2.6 The End of an Era

Welcome back to another edition of Pollination : Mission Statement. We start off today with Six making good use of the new 'toys' I got him. Since he already has a pretty high athletic skill, he's pretty baws on those chin-up bars . . . constipated expression notwithstanding.



The twins Andromeda made good use of their new toys as well. A 3/4 alien child playing in the Sci-Fi tree-house, 'searching for aliens' . . . I love the irony.



Andromeda gets some miles out of that Cowplant spring rider too. I'd show you what Aquila is up to . . . but I'm pretty sure you all can guess. XD



As evening fell, Mr. and Mrs. Pollination got some use out of the new hot tub as well.



Breaking it in the RIGHT way. ^_~



Unfortunately while fun times were being had outside, something very sad was happening inside . . .

SEVEN - What . . . what is this sensation? Sparklies?

;  ; . . . I actually yelled "Nuuuuuuuu!" at the computer screen . . .



Unfortunately all the tantrums in the world couldn't stop the inevitable. Seven's time had finally come to say goodbye to this mortal coil. And now Scorpius is going to be scarred for life . . . AND have a wicked diaper rash, since Seven didn't get around to changing him before he popped his gaskets.



Scorpius wouldn't be the only Pollination child traumatized from this most grim turn of events, either. The girls looked so sad. I almost cried with them. D:



And Bart . . . poor, poor Bart.

BART - No! Not my Seven . . . *wibble*



Grim arrives . . . outside.

GRIM - Damned GPS . . . >:[



Grim eventually found his way inside. Along with Cassiopeia, who decided to run THROUGH her recently deceased father . . .



Seven was very accepting of his fate, sad as it was. He made no fuss when Grim came to reap him, and hopped into his urn with no struggle. Not everyone was so accepting, however.



And then Grim decided to start laughing at Cassi for no reason . . . STFU Grim. >_<



After his giggle fits he decided to put away one of the toddler books before finally taking his leave.



He was 94 days old at the time of his passing. Goodbye Seven Pollination. You were an awesome Legacy founder, and one of the cutest sims I've ever played. You will be sorely missed.



Luckily a moodlet manager had been purchased some time ago, so the adults didn't have to deal with the mourning moodlet for too long.



The kids are SOL unfortunately.



The girls did a LOT of this for the next two days.



After the death of Seven, Bart really took a shine to Scorpius. Perhaps as a way to bury his grief.



But lookie! Seven didn't wait long to pay us a visit from the other side.



He spent the entire time chatting on the computer, though. And managed to fry it before he left as well, lol. I went ahead and deleted it out of the room after that, so no one else would be tempted to wake up Cassi and Six while they're trying to sleep.



AQUILA - Whoa . . . what's that smell?
ANDROMEDA - ....
AQUILA - ... bathtubs are our FRIENDS, Andi.
ANDROMEDA - *eye roll* It's not me, genius. It's the dirty plates on the table.
AQUILA - . . . I knew that. I was just testing you.



It was soon time for little Scorpius' toddler birthday. He and Bart had become so close that grandpa did the cake honors instead of Cassi.



And here we have toddler Scorpius! He inherited daddy's tri-colored hair and alien eyeshape, and someone else's baby-blue eyes. Very promising indeed.



Mama got started right away on his skills. He looks pretty attentive at least, if not entirely grasping the concepts.



Meanwhile Bellatrix 'enjoys' the peg-box . . .



Grief and old age start to take their toll on Bart, though . . . O_o



Turns out this would be an indication of sadder things to come . . . .

BELLATRIX - Gwampa? Where you goin?
BART - . . . Grampa's gonna go be with Grampa Seven now, sweetie.
BELLATRIX - But I sweepy, who's gonna put me to bed?



Really game? Really? BOTH of them have to die in the nursery? >_< *fume*



Indeed they must. The spouse of Gen 1 has officially kicked off as well.



ANDROMEDA - Noooooooo! Granpaaaaaa!
AQUILA - Oh not again! I JUST got over Granpa Seven's death!

Tell me about it. *fume*



This time Grim decided to appear in the bathroom . . . and stick his scythe through the wall. XD



And Bart didn't go quietly like Seven did, either. It was so sad and depressing to watch . . . D:



Whether he wanted to go or not, it was Bart's time. He was reaped in due fashion. And then Grim decided to clean up the dirty dishes on the table before leaving this time. I guess he's got the neat trait.



SIX - Oh dear Bart . . . you will be missed!

Uh, Six? Your relationship bar was in the red with Bart? Ah, Sims. Your logic never ceases to amaze/amuse me.



Bart lived to be 91 years old, dying four days after his beloved Seven. This brings us to the official end of Generation One.



And just so we don't end the chapter on that incredibly depressing note, Orion and Antares' children have aged up to childhood status.

Little Virgo -



And the twins, Sheratan -



And Spica -



That's it for this edition of Pollination : Mission Statement! Join us next time, and always thanks for reading!
