There was quite a bit of excitement in Waknuk last week. Betony rose steadily through the ranks of Law Enforcement until she became Captain Hero and Camphor topped Teen Politics. Immediately following that Betony invited Benjamin Long, the future spouse of Cassia, to move in. Ben immediately lifted Military, thus allowing Camphor and Cassia to depart for college, and Betony and Joe to return to the house where Betony's mother's grave resides. Caraway managed to make it all the way to Theorist, leaving only one more promotion to go. To celebrate he went and checked out the newly created Apocalypse Now community lot.
Geez Cassia, give me a chance to introduce you and Camphor as adults first, ok?

Day 107 - Monday (Winter)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Oh my goodness! You mean you bought me a huge diamond even though you knew I had to say yes?""Just because you have to say yes doesn't make our love any less real, and you deserve the best my little dove!"
(Gag me! You two are going to make me diabetic)
As you may have noticed, Cassia and Benjamin aren't big on wasting time, or maybe that's just me!
Unfortunately, they had to wait to start working on the fourth generation since Benjamin had work.
Oops! My bad. You know, there is a positive to this....
"I know how to cheer you up baby..."
After Caraway's lack of attraction to Lilly, I've decided to reunite him with his high school sweetheart.
Meanwhile, Camphor's decided he's the luckiest sim in Waknuk, his chick likes to skinny dip!
It took three tries, but Benjamin was finally "up" to the job, lol.Day 108 - Tuesday (Winter)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cassia will now proceed to meditate her way through three days of pregnancy. At least, I think she will. I later realized that since she wasn't permaplat, this maybe wasn't the best course of action.
Three cheers for Caraway!!! -Sims may purchase or use anything from the electronics category.

Caraway invented the Thinking Cap
Yay! Lights, and easy job search and tvs and trash compactors and dishwashers, and lots of other goodies. Mostly, yay a computer!
The first thing Caraway did with the newly recovered technology was to escape the mad house of course! (Yeah, I used a cheat to change him into his Mad Scientist outfit, I thought you should all see him dressed that way at least once)
Benjamin and Camphor both looked for jobs but found none to either their liking or mine.
Unfortunately, the first job offered was Law (of course). Not wanting to take a chance, I had Cassia take it anyway. Here's hoping she gets promoted tomorrow or gives birth at a good time.
Benjamin was of course thrilled with the invention of the Thinking Cap!
That night the house shone bright with lights sending out a beacon of hope to all of Waknuk.
"PREGNANT!!! But you just had me start a new job!"
Yes, and if you do well you can get promoted to 'The Law' tomorrow and quit.
"I love living in this house! You guys have a Book First for Learning: A Bookshelf of Education and Thinking Caps!"

Apparently being "grown-up" isn't going to stop the Slap Dancing. That's okay, because it's hilarious watching a pregnant sim do it. I love the fact that her outfit matches her eyes!
After three failed attempts were Cassia just froze in place when told to go, she's finally off to work!
Camphor, well, he's a Popularity sim, how do you think he spent the day?
Good Girl Cassia!-Slacker may be lifted
-Politics may be lifted
-Law Enforcement may be lifted

Camphor carefully emptied out his inventory and headed down to Apocalypse Now. He had heard that they had a new device that allowed you to buy cell phones. He bought three, one for each of them! No more waiting in line to use the phone! This means only two other items in inventory for each of them, but it's worth it!Day 110 - Thursday (Winter)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cassia, I know pregnancy makes you lose 10% of your mind, (I should know, I'm down to 30%, my personal theory being that you regain when the kids move out, lol) but how can a sim with 10 cooking points possibly burn omelettes?
Cassia would still rather buy friendship, which is fine with me since it allows us to clean out the inventories and extra single tile objects!
How such a smart sim can wear such a stupid expression on his face, I'll never know.(Charisma)
I can't for the life of me figure out what aspiration Aren is. He's either Family, Popularity or Knowledge. I'm leaning towards Family or Popularity, the only reason Knowledge is even in the mix is because Cassia constantly heart farts all over him. He's a cutie, and the hair style would be interesting. Hopefully one of the female heirs will find him interesting.Day 111 - Friday (Winter)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"A little help down here?"
Welcome Dittany Leaf
Yes! Politics! I am so sick of being stuck on a 8x8 piece of property!
Oops! My bad, I should have had Camphor start raising his logic as soon as Cassia topped Law, but I kinda forgot. Quick earn some Logic so you can get promoted later today! (4:07 am)
"Stupid Maxis! Why don't I get to wear a long black robe and a cool white wig?!"Seriously he pulls this face constantly!
Hooray! Doing the right thing does pay off!
Camphor, I don't care if you are a Popularity sim, send that thing home right now!
Yes, I know it's shocking that you could manage to maximize any skills with the amount of time you spend on the phone. (Logic)
Currently our preferred method of gaining fun, at least till we have all three maps.
Way to go Ben! Knowing Benjamin, he'll refuse to think about the fact that he just maxed all seven skills any time I'm looking at him, so now you know.Day 112 - Saturday (Winter)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Good! If Benjamin can top Gamer than he can stay home with any rugrats that he and Cassia produce.
Sorry Ben, I know you hate this part.
You two are just proving that Knowledge sims are secretly Romance sims you know.
Happy Birthday dear Dittany....

I've decided that since I'm allowed to choose aspirations again, I'm going to let you guys decide. Oh, I'm a bit confused about Adventure, did Burdock steal only one thing of Smart Milk, or did he steal the plans? From some of the other Seasons Apocalypses I've read I think he stole the plans, but confirmation would be nice. I did try searching through the forums, but I gave up after five pages of never having any one say for certain.
Good going Benjamin. It's not half as exciting as when you're working towards improving the world around you, but still, it'll improve your life. By the way, while you were gone your daughter became a toddler. Luckily for her she looks mostly like her mother, except she got your hair color (fine) and your mouth (arg).
She actually is rather cute except for the mouth.
"Let's get this baby train rolling Ben, I want to be young enough to enjoy my kids!"Day 113 - Sunday (Winter)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I guess it's a good thing that the baby train didn't get rolling.
Betony works this morning, which puts Benjamin on baby duty since he doesn't work until Tuesday. Be grateful bub, this means no more diapers. (At least for now *grin*)
Cassia did manage to find some time to spend with her daughter before work though.
Apparently Camphor's been talking to Cassia.
Aren is Best Friend #27 for Camphor, we're getting there...
Good girl Dittany. I want Aren in the family for good genes. Abhijeet I haven't decided about, except for the fact that every Knowledge sim we've ever had in this family wants him. Blue hair would be different, although I imagine it's dyed.
Congratulations!!! You realize that this just frees you up to be a baby factory, right?
Once more with feeling!!(it actually took 4 more tries for the two of them to get pregnant)
Hey! What in the world are you teaching MY toddler?!?Summary: This week Camphor and Cassia returned from college. Cassia and Benjamin were anxious to get the wedding over with, so they got married before Ben left for work. Then he got demoted and they got to work on making their first daughter, Dittany. Caraway managed to finally top Science and promptly went to live with Betony and Joe. Dittany quickly grew into a mostly cute toddler who learnt all her skills quickly, thanks to Great-Uncle Burdock. Cassia managed to top both Law and Education this week, thus lifting her designated restriction and achieving her LTW. Benjamin and Camphor managed to find jobs in Gamer and Politics, but neither has reached the top yet.
Mob Payout: $2,400
Household Cash: $480,167
And now, I proudly, but lazily, present the first ever showing of Around Waknuk. In other words you get to see what Betony, Joe, and Caraway have been up to.
