The Calypso Family Apocalypse

Chapter 1

"Whew, I made it back just in time. What am I allowed to build?"Normal restrictions say you can have a driveway and two levels above that and a flat roof with an

awning. But your handyman advantage lets you have two extra levels."Well at least we won't be too cramped"

Its starting to get cold, let's get to work. Oh, I forgot, How much money did you bring back from college.

"Um, I think about ninty-three thousand. I don't remember the exact numbers"Wow, that's a nice chunk of change. Too bad we can't buy any of the good stuff.

"There it's done."Just in time, too. I can see the radioactive snow starting to fall. You'd better head inside.

For now, the driveway level only has Dante's junky car."Why can't I have a real car."Because its against the rules.

The first level is the Kitchen area. I set the fridge outside because it's not supposed to work right so maybe the cold will keep Dante's food fresher.

"All my stuff is junk. Why can't I have nice stuff."Because we can't get the nice stuff, the Mob is hoarding all the good stuff for themselves.

"That sucks."

"What’s with the balcony? There's no door?"I can't build walls that close to the road so you have a one tile balcony on all your floors. We'll use it for

storage.What are those things stored out there?"

Those are two of the five items you were able to bring home with you. Elixir of life and smart milk.

"So I can live as long as I want?"No, It's for emergency use only, I'll let you give one bottle of smart milk to each of your kids, though.

"Why's it so empty up here?"I'm still figuring out what you're allowed to have, I keep having to double check.

"I'm allowed a sewing machine?"Yes, you brought that back from college. You're allowed to use it freely, mostly. Because I decided to

have the Fashion Designer advantage."So, let me get this strait. I'm allowed to make clothes, change into them. But not change my hair, or

anything else in the mirror."Yup, pretty much.

"You forgot the doors."Oops, I'll fix it in a minute.

"What's this floor for, it's empty."This is where your children will sleep.

"Why aren't there any stairs going up here?"Because this is where I will put the things you're not allowed to have or just can't use yet.

"Like what?"Well, When you get in the culinary career, they will eventually give you a career reward, but until

adventure is lifted you won't be able to use it."Oh, Ok."

"What a waste of time, I rushed out to get the paper and Culinary's not even in it. And it was late too, I hope that paperboy doesn't make a habit of this."

I'm sure it's just a one day thing. You didn't get here till eight O'clock, he usually comes around seven, So you should be thankful that he made a special trip just for you.

"So now what?"Why don't you go out and greet the welcome wagon?

"Hi, I'm Dante. Um, what’s wrong with the guy behind me?""He's a Zombie. It's not too safe to stay out here, I'm leaving, you might want to lock your door."

Yeah, I second that motion. Get back upstairs and lock your door.

I had created sixteen zombies to roam the neighborhood. They all live on a graveyard lot I built down the road. I boolpropped them all so that they had 10 outgoing points. I did not install the zombie

apocalypse hack."Then they're not really dangerous, are they?"

No, but we'll pretend that they are, Ok."Ok."

"Essie! I'm so glad you could make it.""Mmm ummm mmmm"

"This is fun, why haven't we ever done this before?"Get used to it, It's one of the only fun things you will be doing for the rest of your life.

"These burgers are good, Dante.""Thanks, do you want another. I have plenty."

"Not right now. I'm full.""Do you get enough to eat at the Society Safehouse, Essie."

"I always get at least one burger, but never more than that, There's just too many of us Society members living there now."

"I don't like all these restrictions.""Neither do I, but I don't see where we have much choice."

"It's getting late, Essie. Curfew's at six, right?""Yes, call me next Tuesday, OK."

"OK"

"I love you, Essie. I'll try to call next Tuesday.""I love you too. I have to run now. I don't want to get caught by the zombies after dark."

"Why am I eating a rotten burger?"You're only allowed to make one meal a day, So if your hungry you have to eat the leftovers I saved for

you."Gag. I hope I get my culinary job soon."

Did you check the paper today?"Yes, and no. Culinary was not there."

Whatcha Doing?"I'm trying to fix this crummy car."

Ok, I'll leave you to it.

Well is it there."Yes, and I have to leave in an hour."

What level is it?"I don't know, but I'm a Host."

Oh, so level four, not bad.

"Maybe I should take the penguin with me, they might like my recipe for penguin burgers."Dante! What's gotten into you?

"I don't know, I just get so hungry sometimes."Don't worry, I'm sure that they will feed you at work.

"You mean I get an extra meal, Sweet."

Well, did you get your promotion?"Yes, but I'm really dirty, and this crappy sink is not helping."

Well, fix it.

"Moooaaaannnn, Hehehe"

Ha, sorry to kill your fun, but Dante has his job now and we don't even need that paper."Moooaaannn, Noooo faaaaaiirrrrr. Moan"

I see you were promoted again."Yeah, I'm a prep cook now.

You missed the zombie this morning."Yeah, so."

She took your paper."What, is that all." laughs "Is that all they can do?"

Well, that and they might kick your trashcan."What wimpy zombies."

Do you want me to put in the hack?"NO! Are you crazy? I have enough problems already!"

Promoted again?"Yeah, I'm a Sous Chef now."

Hey, there's a zombie over there."I'm not afraid of the wimpy zombies. Besides, I want to finish my car."

What color are you painting it."Black"

"There, I'm done. Cool huh?"Yes, very nice. I think your carpool is here. Are your motives ok?

"Yes, It didn't take much to finish the car."

Do a good job and get promoted."I'll do my best."

Well?"I'm an Executive Chef now."

Cool, If we're lucky we might even be able to move Essie in on Tuesday."Really, I miss her."

I know.

I see you were promoted again."Yes, but guess what."

What?"I have two days off. Now I won't be able to move Essie in till next Tuesday."

Crap, that's too bad. Well I guess since you have two day off, you can work on some stuff around the house.

"This sucks. I don't want to follow all these rules."Well, life sucks, get used to it. Now finish up, your kids will need that book to help them decide what to

do with their lives.

"There, it's done."

Knock knock knock"Mr. Calypso, I have your book, Apocalypse Rules and Guidelines.”

No Answer."I'll just leave it here. Sucker, I'll just keep this check for myself."

Later that night."Heh heh heh, nice place you have here. Don't mind me, I'll just help myself."

Arrrrrrg. We just finished that car. Dante never even got to use it.

"Suckers"This Sucks! And I couldn't avoid sending Dante to bed. He never even woke up.

(I'm glad that he didn't take the sewing machine. Whew)

"Why didn't you wake me up, I could've taken him."No you would have just panicked.

"No, I wouldn't have!!"Unfortunately, you would have, it's programmed into you.

"Bummer."

"Oh no, My Car!!"Don't worry, I replaced it.

"No you didn't, That's not a car! That's a pile of junk."

What are you making?"Clothes"

"Stupid pile of junk. Stupid Burglar."

"I hate working on that car. It always makes my hygiene bottom out."

Hurry up, we don't want roaches."Stupid Zombies"

I think your carpool is here.

You really need to lift culinary, the buzzing is really getting on my nerves."I know, It's driving me crazy. Why did you put them right behind my bedroom wall anyways?"

Cause I'm lazy. (I was so afraid that he would get roaches from this, but I never saw any, Thank Goodness.)

Well, Did you do it?

"Of course, now can Essie move in?"Yes, on next Tuesday.

"But that’s five days away!"I'm sorry, but you can't call her till then, the phone won't work.(Dante never had any chance cards, except for one hobby card.)

Finally, we can get rid of all the spoilt food."Hip hip hooray, I'm the chef today, hip hip hooray" sings

"Goodbye stink, Bye flies. We won't miss you."You can say that again.

"Aawww, Look, a Kitty"Don't let her get away. Pet her, feed her and play with her. We need her.

"You want to live with me, Kitty.""Meow, 'Me stay' "

Neely already knows how to Shake, Speak, and Stay.Her stats are 1/2/1/2/3

She's a Genius, Not Hyper or Lazy, Independent, not Aggressive or Cowardly, and Finicky

"Meow"

"See, now you try.""Meow"

"Meow 'me pretty' "

(Neely resembles my cat in real life, but my cat has white on her paws, chin, and belly.)

Whatcha making?"Grilled cheese."

I see your kitchen has been moved."Yeah, I got the fridge to work, so now I can save my leftovers in it. And they won't spoil."

Hooray.

That looks really good.

"They smell even better."Oh, the sweet smell of success.

"Meow 'pet me' ""Not now, Neely. I have to work on this stupid car."

"There I'm done, again!"I see you painted it a different color.

"Yeah, I thought that if it matched the snow a little better, then the mob wouldn't be able to see it from a distance, and wouldn't come and steal it too."

I wouldn't hold your breath.

"Good Kitty.""Meow 'me smart' "

"Roll over, roll over. Yay! Good kitty.""Meow 'me good kitty' "

Yes, you are.

"Meow Hiss hiss 'No steal. Mine' ""Mooooaaaan, paaappppeeerrr"

I don't think the zombie even noticed you, Neely."Meow 'bad zombie' "

"Meow, 'I work' "

Wake up, it’s Tuesday. We can move Essie in now. Come on, Wake up."Huh, What. I'm awake."

Go call Essie."What? Yes!!!" Runs to phone.

"Essie, You came!!!" Kissesmumble "Of course I came."

"Of course I'll move in with you.""I love you, Essie."

"Whoa, that was weird."

(Note from Twilight)(I removed all illegally gained skills and reset her benefit points.)

"Essie, I know we can't have a real wedding. But I would be honored if you would be my wife.""Oh, Dante. I wouldn't have it any other way."

"I don't want to waste any more time, let’s try to have a baby.""Ok, but don't forget that I want to max all my skills."

"You don't have to work if you don't want to, and I'll help with the kids"

(Essie has no desire to get a job, she is a knowledge sim with the want to max all of her skills.She can't help to lift a restriction anyways, except for providing the next generation.)

"I didn't hear a lullaby, did you?""No, let’s try one more time before I have to leave for work."

I see you're home. Essie's upstairs waiting for you.

Nasty.

Yes, Essie, Woohoo is the cause of your condition."Oh, why did I agree to this? This baby is putting me through hell and I've been pregnant for less than a

day."

"Oh no, Not again. I was trying to skill."Essie, that's not the toilet. Ewww.

"I can't make it. Blarf."

Oh, Gross.(Yes, I have green vomit, and yellow pee. It's more realistic. I've seen an Ickier vomit then this one, but I

thought that it was a little too realistic.)

"Finally, no more barfing."

"Meow 'you forget me' "No I haven't forgotten you.

"Meow 'me star' "Not quite yet, you need one more promotion. You missed getting a promotion last time.

(Neely was so self sufficient that sometimes I forgot that she lived with us. All we did was fill her food dish and she took care of all her other needs. She loves to pounce on everyone.)

"Meow 'me star' "Yes, yes you are. Good job, Neely.

(Pet Show Biz is now lifted, which means that our kids can skill even if its no fun and we can teach them to do their homework.)

"Purrr 'me star' Purrrr"

"Wow, talk about bursting at the seams, I can see the shock wave."Well, it almost over. Soon you'll have a little baby to love and take care of.

"I wish it was over now, I haven't gotten to skill at all during this pregnancy."(I've been scrambling to take care of her needs, they been dropping like rocks.)

"A little privacy here, please."Sorry. I was just trying to show the people that you're sloppy enough to sponge bathe.

"Who Cares? Now Get OUT!!!"

Pregnancy is not agreeing with her at all."Well, you try wanting to pee, eat, bathe, and pass out all at the same time. I'll be glad when this little

parasite is out of me."

"Meow 'No, Mine' Hiss""Stupid cat, Get out of my way."

"Hiss, Hiss"

"Sweet, nice car. What else do you have for me tonight?"Nothing, now get lost.

"Ooooooooowwwwwwwwwwwww, Get IT Out, Noooooooooooow!!!!"Hey, Where's Dante?

"Meow 'baby' ""Awwww, She's adorable. Where's Dante?"

"He stealing our crib"

Why do you want Neely's house?"It's a nice house. Maybe I'll get me an attack dog."

It's the cheapest house on the market.

"Suckers, Call me again when you have another car."In your dreams. Oh how I wish we could call the police or have a burglar alarm.

We can replace our stuff, I'm just glad our family in safe.Meet the newest member, Emily Calypso.
