Here we see our old friends, the ever-present flamingo posse.

Ochre gets crackin on those career rewards. Law, Entertainment and Military knocked out of the park. He's been selected as the spare to bear the Apartment torch for the challenge.

Which means I need to find a way to kill Omen.

Wh! What is SHE doing here?!

Really, Ochre?! You're choosing her to share in your genetics?!

Alright, Ms. Leelaporn- I forget her first name- joins the family.

But as the new matriarch of the family, Bistre makes sure Audrey doesn't feel welcome.

What the frack?! What are you even doing outside?!

Noooo! Nooo! Go back inside! Ahhhh! I need you to turn the blonde dopes into zombies! You can't die! Gaaaaah!

You! Go away! Your services aren't needed! Crap crap crap cracp carp alcprp rpcaorpca!

"Unintended, ehhhhh~"

-weeps and is forlorn-

You! You're a good witch! Save your mother! You're top White Magic these days, right?!

... You only came out to clean up your mothers ashes?!?!?! You could have saved her! Oh you are so dying as soon as possible, young lady!

This is not an appropriate time to cheat on Ochre with his brother! Gah! All wrong! All wrong!

Yes, get out. Get out all of you! You and your hussy of a fiance!

Bistre's happy Audrey's not living with them anymore and Omen's happy he doesn't have to be sacrificed. Wipe those smiles off your faces!

Oh, finally someone grieves for Vermillion! Look at that icon though. Even dead Vermillion's all like "Nooooooo! Save me fron the afterlife, son! It's horrible down here!"

Not appropes grieving behavior!

Crappiest first day. EVER

Side Note: Oh look, the house got a makeover. It got good reviews, too. Hee!

The two biggest disappointments ever eat some enchanted cake.

Omen smooth talked this dormie after she kicked over the rubbish bin. Nice save- hopefully no one else comes over to kick buckets- I mean bins.

Bistre is off to scrounge up some sperm donors.

The charlatan finds her overwhelming goodness a bit revolting.

But instead of hounding out some dudes, Bistre spends the night chatting up her brother, Nightshade. Talking about flowers and junk.

Omen, meanwhile, knocks out three more careers and their rewards:

Music, Gaming, and Journalism. The golden feather this is right there. Ugh, better lighting! It's there, I promise.

The next day Bistre is struck by lightning. Not yet, Maxis Gods, I need her to pump out some babies, first.

I have yet to see a sim who has been struck by lightning ever make it to the toilet before their body revolts and loses bladder control.

After cleaning up, Bistre could not stop crying about that little incident.

"You took pictures, for petes sake!!"

Of course I did. Is that a problem?

-completely oblviious to the embarrassment of others-

To cheer her up she went out on a date with her latest crush. I didn't bother learning his name. If I did I've forgotten.

Obviously the date went well. Here they are in the photo booth, getting wild. Audrey Leelaporn is outraged that the goody-two-blues Bistre actually had sex in public before she did.

I heard the chime. The chime is good.

Hey, glad you enjoyed yourself, latest crush, we'll never be seeing you again. Thanks for your contributiun to this challenge.

Further proof that Bistre will soon don maternity wear- and thus become more of a fashion wreck than she already is.

But not before she pumps out those careers, lets see what we have available for you.

Oh look. A rose bouquet. Wonder who brought those over.

In honor of his mothers memory, Omen turns on some music.

He invites some guys over.

Ochre and Nightshade make the scene.

Can't forget some hoochies.

It's Vermillion's Summer Solstice Party! Honoring the vampire-witch-briefly plantsim- necromancer and her life. Lets call it a wake.

All the guests enjoy sparkly cake. Vermillion would have liked it that way.

Bistre's contribution to the career rewards: Cowplant! Bookshelf of Amazing! Bone Phone! All the rewards I ever wanted. You've made up for not saving your mother's life, Bistre. Well done.

So Bistre gets to enjoy the party as well.

Omen throws a good party.

That night Bistre stumbled upon Ariel here, a black female wolf.

Vermillions ghost rises from her grave- grateful for the party held in her honor.

Bistre adopts Ariel. Not the usual good witch pet, but we'll take her.

Vermillion's Garden got the ax, I'm afraid. Bistre's Garden is just starting out, but instead of apple trees, she have orange trees.

Ariel is a happy dog. And she does well. Bistre ahrdly ever leaves her alone.

Time for boyfriend scouting. Hi Jan Jayapalan! This generation doesn't have a relationship with the dark witch whatsoever.

!? Two Dark Witches!?

Who the frack are you?! Why do you exist?! What are you doing here?!

Augh- the dark forces must be squelched. As soon as both the witches cast their rain spells Bistre casts her sun spell.

Which is a little weird at night, I'll give you that.

But it looks pretty cool~

lolz! The charlatan is stealing from the house burglar.

Back home Bistre starts Ariel on doggy training. The basic Come Here's, Stay's, Dont Attack the Mauricette's Simself.

These guys have nothing to do until the brood is hatched- I mean born. Free will is entertainment.

But with a new season and a new look its time to summon the Necromancing Professor and have her dilly out those garden club memberhsips. Yes I am still working on that wishing well challenge. =_=

Bistre's Garden didn't make the cut. I mean, she's in- but her lot isn't pretty enough. I guess Zarubin was expecting Bistre's Garden to be less creepy. -sigh-

Time to welcome the first- second- wait third? generation child.

Lithe Revenant. Black hair, light blue eyes, darkest skin. I love her.

Wasting no time! bistre get comfy with Benjamin long. Jihoon Hsu is hoping for sloppy seconds, I guess.

Bistre and Ben fall in love.

And kicked out Jihoon so they could get busy.

In the hot tub.

Bister is turning out to be one risque family sim, neh?

Eat your heart out, Audrey Leelaporn.

Augh, they were at this alllllll daaaaaay. Try for Baby- Try for Baby- Try for Baby.

"You guys had better stop dicking around and make a baby or I'll kill Benjamin for wasting my time."

Yeah~ chimes. Sometimes you just gotta dish out the tough love. Alright! that's the end of this chapter. The whole year chapters were just soooo looooong! So we're going by seasons now. Thanks for reading!
