Bluewater Challenge 2016 - Tumblr Posts - Page 2

Cynthia picked up the baby and played with her for a bit...and then put her right back down on the floor.  A+ parenting here, guys.  A+.

Of course, since they’re so great at taking care of baby Barbara, Cynthia and Robert decided that it was definitely time to make another baby.  Chimes were heard.  

At least the dogs are getting along. 

The next morning, Cynthia and Robert explained to Justin that he was going to be a big brother again. Cynthia’s morning sickness was pretty bad.  Although maybe that’s because nobody cleans up around here except the 11-year-old.  (This is why I caved and got them a maid, even though it’s technically against the rules.  Someone needs to clean this dump and I’ve given up on either of the adults doing it.)

Cynthia had her first pop and was feeling a bit...restless.  She went downtown and called her agent, Sylvia Marie Mashuga.  They met at the 125 Cafe and Cynthia explained that she didn’t want to be a housewife, but she wasn’t sure she could go back into acting because she and Robert were trying for more kids. 

Sylvia Marie had the perfect solution. “Darling,” she said, “go into my line of work!  Be an agent!”

Cynthia liked that idea -- she had liked pitching the whole reality show to Malcolm Landgraab, even if he hadn’t gone for it -- and she agreed to take a job with Sylvia’s talent agent firm.  

Cynthia went home and explained what she’d decided to Robert.  He was supportive, as always, and happily allowed her to help him get a job as a screen test stand-in.  It would be hard, starting at the bottom of the ladder again, but he knew his wife wouldn’t steer him wrong. 

Technically, Cynthia works in the Entertainment career, a custom career recreated from one of the Stories games (Pet Stories, maybe?).  Robert is in Show Business.  I figured this showed the different branches of the entertainment business they’re in.  This was around the point when I decided to ignore most of the challenge rules. I can never remember them anyway.  The Kims hired a maid, a gardener, and a nanny.  

Around this time, I got the pop up that it was nearly Barbara and Justin’s birthday.  Cynthia threw a double birthday party, inviting all her friends (and none of Justin’s, since she doesn’t know any of the neighborhood kids).  

Cynthia did the honors of helping Barbara grow up.  Whee!

Barb is a little cutie!  She actually looks a lot like the Worthington sisters, for some reason.  Cynthia didn’t put her down the entire night.  Maybe she’ll be better as a mom now that Barb can do a bit more than cry and poop herself? (That’s a big maybe, especially with another baby on the way...but we can hope...)

Then it was Justin’s turn.  In a burst of sparklies, he turned into a teen!

Justin grew up really well.  I did follow the challenge rules to determine his aspiration.  He spun Romance.  A slight wardrobe change later and Justin was ready for teenhood. 

Justin decided it was time to start breeding the next generation of dogs.  It didn’t take much to convince Flash and Gabby to try for puppies. Chimes were heard!

Justin’s face sums up the round, pretty much.  He’s still the only one with his act together.

No Thoughts on Bluewater this time.  Next up is Melody Tinker at college.  I have a new challenge in mind for her.  She’s not gonna like it...
