- Hello and Welcome to the second
part of episode three of my
apocalegacy, where I try to obey all
kind of restrictions and handicaps.
And as the title indicates, the
babyboom has finally set in, and we're
heading for generation 2. Since this
should be a matriarchy, I hope for a
girl, but a babyboy is welcome as well,
right, Anais? -
" Ungh, couldn't Maxis just leave out
the whole babybelly thing? My back
would really prefer it if babies were
brought by the..."
- No excitement about the life
growing inside you at all?
" It lacks a bit since I have to work the
whole night as a stylist, because
somebody wants to keep *his* level 10
business..."
-Now, as if you have it so hard, look at
me... -

- ... Thanks to your great styling
techniques in the last part I'm wearing
a goldfish glass on my head to cover
the bad makeup you gave me... -
"...So you look like your exchange
Avatar!"
- True, but have you ever tried... -

- ... to sleep with such a thing? or... --

- ... to eat? -

- *grunch*, *slunch*, *gobble* -

- ... And it's nearly impossible to
shower with this thing, too. -
" You shower with clothes? Or better:
Why do you have a shower, while we
can only spongebathing ?!!! "
- ah... sweet revenge... -

- Anyway, let's skip a bit backward... -

- We 'only' needed three(!) tries to
hear the lullaby... let me guess, after 9
Weeks, you already forgot how to... -
" Urgh... don't know, what sickens me
more: you or this pregnancy... "

- After the first part, the rest of the
pregnancy was rather uneventful... -

- ... except some dream dates here and
there... but I had to take a picture of
this, because if I'm right, than this is
the rosebouquet for Anais Dream
Date Nr. 200 ! (My eyes started
bleeding after I got through all of her
memories to count them...) -
" Strange... where do I have this rose
bouquet from? I mean, the Count's
vampires have destroyed all
vegetation to prevent garlic and
wooden stakes and I can't leave the lot
because the streets are full of them,
killing everyone who isn't on 'their'
side. "
- umm... don't know, bite me.... errh, I
mean... oh, forget it...-

- Let's concentrate on the pregnancy
again. At least Jerry rolled a baby
want, while Anais only wants thirty
best friends again... Yes we're down
now from 70 to 30 already. -
" Hello in there, wish you come out
soon."
" I wish, it'll wait till tuesday, then I
could quit my job... "

- ...And the home business became
more and more succesful, even after
raising the prices. -
" Could I interest you in one of our
newest stylish haircuts. Only 999
Simoleons! "
" What? 999 Simoleons? Are you...?"
" Yes, really, less than 1000, and
totally stylish! "
" If you put it that way... of course I
want! "
- Best trick ever: set prices manually to
999, 'dazzle' your customers - gold
badge required - one time, and they'll
buy it... And if you'll say
'rulebubbling' again, Anais...

At least, the 'new' haircuts seemed a
bit more... realistic than before. -
" We call this one the 'Harriet Potter'-
Look. For an extra pay, we can also
add a scar. "

" And this is called 'Siga13'*! Sadly
creator still refuses to add new custom
hair, but perhaps next chapter..."
* Siga writes the Mother Nature's
Mistake Legacy... and I know, it
doesn't look similar at all, but I just
*wanted* to make a reference...

"...And for the stylish looking ninja,
we have this totally-invisible-still-
awesome-looking-manga-haircut !"
" I don't see anything."
" Because it's invisible! "
" Oh. Cool, thanks."
- Forget what I said about realistic. -

- By the way: The vamped Ninja guy
is not a victim of the Count or Anais,
but Jerry! To help Anais out with the
Counterarmy thing, he vamped a few
people too. -
" Gaze into... "
- Oh No! Not again this whole
montage thing from the last part, we
already have enough Vampires! At
least a few people have to survive
your 'mission'... -

- And now, it's time for something -
kinky: another spongebathing picture
of Anais... -

- ... or was it Jerry? I'm not totally
sure... make your guesses... -
" FOR THE LAST TIME: NO
CAMERA!!!! "
- hmmm... njet, still not sure, could be
both of them... -

- And then: -
" OwOwOwOw... Why must it be
sunday and not tuesday? Why do I
have to keep my job? Why doesn't it
clash with Jerry's job? "
- Anais, you're definitely too obsessed
with your job. You're in 'labour', after
all. -
" Than let me quit so I can be there for
my.... OOoow.... "
- Hmmm,... No. I want to see, if I can
manage two employed vampires with
a baby... -
" I ha...
OOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWW
WWWW ! "

" *Gasp* Oh my... "
- Yeah, isn't it exciting to become a
father? -
" No, I mean my vampire teeth.
They're glowing blue and are floating
through the air just in front of my
face!"
- Ugh, the first glitch on this lot. But
it's nearly ten weeks, that's a record
for not glitching so far for me. -

- And here we have the newest
member of the Eden Family: Welcome
to this world, Alexandré Eden. You're
a boy, so no chance in matriarchy, but
perhaps you can someday move out
and leave the apocalypse behind you.
-
" Great. My son isn't even born a
minute ago, and you're already
planning his Future till grave."
- As if you would care. You don't even
roll a want for him! -
" Because I don't want my son to end
as an aspiration point raising
machine! I love him without wants,
okay? "
- Mmf, if you say so. Perhaps you
should show him your love by
starting to feed him. -
" Well, I would, if... somebody would
turn the %&$/& fridge around! "
- Ups, sorry. Totally forgot, Anais was
never hungry so far, and Jerry only ate
a jello and some cereals two or three
weeks ago... -

" Oh, my little precious, that's good,
drink and enjoy... if it goes after evil
creator, you'll never have a chance to
eat a real meal, so remember the
taste..."

" And now my little babyboy needs
to... "
*BUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUURRRRR
RRRRRRRRRRRRRPPPPPPP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
*
" Guuuuuuh...ood boy..."
- Seems like his digestion works
perfectly... -

" And now it's time to sleep, my little
angel. "
- It's morning, Anais. -
" Like I said, time to sleep, especially
for vampires like me, remember? "
- And who takes care of Alex while
you're asleep? -

- So we came to the agreement, that
Anais stayed in the next room with
the religious objects to be there for
Alexandre. -
" Ommmm....
*Whatforreligiousobjects?*...
Ommmm... "
- The Head of the Social bunny and
the potty god shrines, religios
indoctrination at an early age... -
" OMMMM...
*MYSONWILL*NEVER*JOINONEOF
THISRIDICULOUSRELIGIONS!*...
OMMMM! "
- That's religious discrimination,
Anais... -
*for everyone else: go to
www.boolprop.com and worship
ephemeraltoasts apocafunlypse, now
in the finished section... -

- ...And what do you think, Jerry?
Which Cult should your son join? -
"
Ommm...Whatishetalkingabout?...Om
mmm..."
"
Ommm...Ignorehimjerryignorehim...O
mmmm... "
- Fine,stay atheists. But don't start
complaining if you call the anger of
the gods upon yourself... on the other
hand...as your creator... I think, you
could call ME 'Go... -

-
..ooOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
OOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAA
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA.....! -

".....AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
AA.....!"

- ....AAAAARRRGH! *frizzle*-
*Sound of thunder in the background
from a flash out of the blue sky*
-...nnnh...hnnng... Okay, skip the 'god'
idea... .. -

- ...Let's continue: Even two working
vampires with a car can care for a
child... that or our social workers are
already vamped, too... -

- ... because sometimes the situation
was really dangerous like in this
case... Jerry, Alex needs a new bottle
and a diaper, avanti! ... -
" Ommmm... can't,hungertoolow-
I'lldieifIstop ...Ommmm..."

- Thankfully it became night soon.
Alex was saved from adoption, Jerry
from starvation and Anais from...
whatever. And thankfully our
babyboy fell asleep before watching
his parents making out right in front
of him... -

- ... but his sleep wouldn't last long,
because out of the blue his parents
started rolling wants over wants for
him... -
" Oooo, where is mommy, there is
mommy, where is mommy... "

- ... and wants over wants... *yawn* -
" ...Utsidutsi, nannybunny, okiedokie,
lukkykukky... "
- I think we can stop here and move
on.... If anybody still wants to see
what else has happened in this time,
just switch between this and the last
panel for... let's say... 287 times, that
should be enough. Have fun! -

- AND NOW: BIRTHDAY TIME!
Wow, we should have more
birthdays, it would solve the missing
lights... -

- ... and showers. In the last picture,
Jerry was sorrounded by green stink,
but now... that's the best glitch I had
so far! Happy Birthday Alex ! -

- And now a quick look at our
birthday childs stats: Alexandre is a
pisces like his mom, with a
7/1/10/3/8 -personality... hmm, a bit
different from his parents, especially
his shy- and neatness... we have to
change that sooner or later... -
" Hello, It's my sons birthday,could
you please hold yourself back at least
this time? "
- sorry, you're right. Now... wanna
teach him to talk? -
*groan*

- Alex was a really fast learner, even
without smartmilk he learned talking
in less than one night... -
" Vam-py! "
" Nono, Da - ddy. "
" Dra - ci? "
- ... despite some minor issues... -

" Waah! Tiwed! Wanna go sweep! "
- Oh, so soon? Don't you wan't to
learn first how to...? -
" No, he doesn't! Don't you even have
mercy with a little child? "
- Let me think... hm, if it means not to
let him skill, which is important for a
later job, then No... -

- Awww, look at him, like a little
Buddha, already totally concentrated
in the art of meditation... -

- ... too bad, that there is no rest for
him in this household ... -

- ... Especially since he almost forgot
to serve the potty... -
" No. Religion. Do. you. hear. me? "

- In the end, Alex was saved from his
bladder, but sadly his hygiene
dropped too low... and the only way
to raise it without bath tubs would be
changing his diapers... I already
feared, that for the rest of his
toddlerhood we would hear his sad
cries for being stinky...-

- ... but the miracle happened: He
didn't care! He really didn't care!
Perhaps some people would say now:
of course, toddler in platin mood don't
care about their hygiene... but I think
it's a sign, a sign of the power of the
social... -
" No. Religion! "
- You cannot close your eyes and
ignore the truth, Anais... -

- ... and the punishment for ignorance
is severe... Alex needed only one
diaper change during the day, but in
the end, three diapers fell down... -
" That isn't 'punishment', that is just a
stupid glitch!"
- You cannot ignore... -
" Yeah, yeah, whatever... "

- 'Yes, my son, we all need to worship
the social bunny, it's our best friend
and always there for...'-
"HEY! I didn't say that ! Stop putting
words in my mouth, that I've never
said ! "
- Jerry, you're ruining my storytelling.
-
" As there would be anything that
could be ruined... "

- Despite his mean behaviour
(towards me) and his lack of religious
belief (poor Alex, how will you
survive without religion in a harsh
world like this?), Jerry was at least a
good parent, when it came to teach
Alex how to walk... -

- ... and Anais was able to teach her
son how to... -
" NO! RELIGION! "
- Aww, come on, this time I wasn't
even going to tell something
about...well, at least not so much... -

- And as soon, as Alex learned all
three toddler skills, all wants of Anais
and Jerry for him vanished. I decided
then, to wake up Anais maternal
instincts, that she should write some
stories for children as part of a
parental training program... -
" ... and then the ugly stringpuller was
smitten by a satellite and getting eaten
by the cowplant at the same time,
while standing in his own puddle,
stinking and famishing because he
was to dumb to cook food, while
trying to repair his computer with a
pair of scissors... "
- I admit, it wasn't my best idea so
far... -

- For Jerry's training, I thought about
adopting a cat, but sadly, Berry here
was the only cat that ever showed up
on our lot at night in over 11 weeks...
and left before the adoption option
appeared... I wonder, why...-
" Psst, A warning to you and all your
cat friends: never, ever visit our lot at
night, it's too dangerous, he could
decide to adopt you, and then you
have to serve in cruel jobs till you
expire..."

- In the end, I stopped the parental
training, as it was useless... or do they
look like they care about the full
potty, the rotten milk or the stinking
toddler at all? -

- In fact, they're totally selfabsorbed...
-
" PRIVACY! "
- ... and insensitive to the readers
'interests', right? -
*lullaby in the background*

- Aww, Alex, I'm so sorry for you
being so ignored and - eww - stinky
and... -
" *snif* stwange woice speaking
nonwense again... Me scawed.. "
- ... great, he is already taking after his
parents... -

- ... perhaps next time, I'm more lucky
with the childs personality... -

- .. which conception was as
uneventful as the last one... -

- ... not even Alex was interested... -

- ... *snore* ... -

- But at least it became necessary for
Alex to grow up, to make place for the
new baby in the crib. -
" Oh, tingwing... "

- Allez... -

- ... Hopp... Hey, where are the
sparklies? Drat, another glitch... this
house has the strangest glitches I've
ever had... vampire teeth floating,
stinking stops at birthday, too many
diapers appear, no sparklies... -

" Hey, I grew up as a miracle child in
an apocalypse household, Yay! "
- Finally, somebody who
acknowledges how much I did for this
family, thank y... -
" Wow, Since I did this all by myself, I
must be the smartest child on earth! "

" Hi Mom."
" Who are you? "
" I'm your son, mom, I grew up today
while you were asleep. "
" Oh... so, wanna do an Outing? "
- Here we go again... -

- ... but Anais idea for an Outing came
to a sudden stop, when the next
pregnancy stage of the possible
heiress began... -
" Hey, why can't I be heir? "
- Because, Alex, you're a boy and this
is a matriarchy. -
" Does that mean, I am already
considered to be a spare? "
- Unfortunately, ye... -
" Great! That means, I can move out
and don't have to worry about the
vampocalypse anymore! "
- Would it be cruel to remind him,
that we need at least military and
science to move somebody out?...
EDIT: And since the seasons
playtesting rules came out these days,
it will even be a bit harder, once I've
got it... -

- ... Well, I told him anyway, and this
was his answer: -
*BUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUURRRR
P!!!!!*
- ...ugggh... well, his digestion still
works perfectly.... -
" Anais, do you think it's a good idea
to teach him how to be sloppy? After
all, you've teached him to use the
potty for a better hygiene, why now
go against this? "
" Call it selfish, but...the more he
annoys creator, the happier I am...
*Snif* Mommy is so proud of of her
little boy..."

- ...And if this wasn't enough... Hey!
who has allowed Alex to use the dru...
errh, I mean the totally harmless
bubble blower... but, still, who has
allowed it? -
" Do you see a teddy bear somewhere?
Or a toybox? Hm?"
- Pfft, teddies and toys... there are
much more interesting ways to raise
fun, like...

- ... playing chess or... -

- ...a party of golf. (EDIT: Or at least there
was... season rules now forbid the use of
career rewards and nothing can be
placed outdoors... seems like I have to
delete it... *snif*)
" Careful, young Lad! Don't shoot the
flag! We must protect the flag, so that the
enemy doesn't get it!"
" Huh? who's talking here? "
" ME, you little brat! Open your eyes,
kid! "
" Oh, the stilt. Are you the one, mom and
dad call 'Sarge'?"
" That's right, junior, I'm the 'Sarge', and
this guys over there are my squad. Say
hello to the youngster, guys. "
" Sarge, Yes, Sarge! "
"Why are you talking so strange?"
"That's not strange, Boy, that's Army
talk!"
" I think, it's more 'Pseudo'-Army talk... "

" Sorry, to break the stupid stilt talk
but.... OOOOOooow....! "
- Uh, oh, seems like Alex new
brother/sister is about to arrive
(Pleasebeagirlpleasebeagirl...) -

- ... and it IS a girl! Welcome, (most
certainly) heiress, Amaryllis Eden! -
" and it's Sunday again... I really have
to learn a way to extend my
pregnancies... "
- Ah good, so that means, we can do
another try later, just in case,
something unexpected happens? -
" OUCH!... Dwamn, now I bwit
mywelf automaticwally on mwy own
twongue... "

" Wooh, I have a sister! A sister that
will lift Science or Military and marry
a Military or Science guy so I can
move out... "

" Awex, don't scware you poor wiwter
with thwis... "
- You know, I really like his ideas, we
should... -
" YWOU.... *ahem* Don't liwten to
thwem, Amarylliw, thwey're... juwt
joking, yew joking.. now dwink and
enjwoy, ennnjwoyyy..."

- Soon Amaryllis was filled up and
put into crib to be soon forgotten like
her brother before... -
" We didn't 'forget' him! We don't
'forget' her! We're vampires, after all,
and our children won't get any
benefit, if we turn to dust in sunlight!
And you force us to work night and
day!"
- Pfft, lousy excuses, Jerry... If you
would roll wants for your children, it
would be different, but so... -

- ... so Alex was forced to raise his
social needs by himself, greeting all
kind of strangers around the place... -
" Hi, Miss, you know I'm somehow
glad to talk to someone normal, unlike
these talking stilts or my vampified
parents, who ignore me the whole day
and don't let me sleep at night... "
- Should I tell him, that her parents
are already vampified too, and that
his mom made her Dad look like
Santa Claus...? -

" Hi Miss, I'm somehow glad to talk to
someone normal... or do you have
creepy looking parents or talking stilts
somewhere? "
" ...What?"
"Nevermind... so, can you be my
friend now, okay? I just rolled a want
for it..."

" Woo, woo, kid, we only know each
other for a second, and you already
decided us to be friends? Sorry, but
making friends requires a bit more."
" My mom said, that's not true. You
only need three interactions in a row
to raise relationships over and over
and that's..."
" Are you joking? What do you think,
friendship is, a sort of game?"
- Don't listen to her, Alex, I hate to
admit it, but this time, your mom is
totally right with what she said... -

- Unfortunately, townie girl went off,
before Alex could convince her to be
friends... -
" Uh, Sir?"
- Voicebox okay again, Frank? -
" Yes, Mr. Stringpuller, thank
you....uhmm,... May 'I' become friends
with Alex, please? "
- Frank, I don't think anybody wants
to be friends with a stilt... -
" But, but...*snif*...I think, I... I'm going
to... to...."
- Ohoh... Alex, become friends with
Frank, presto, or he'll cry again! -
" What? I haven't even met this stilt
before, and you already decided us to
be friends? What do you think,
friendship is, a sort of game...?"

- While I spent the next hours to calm
Fred down (...), Alex finally found a
friend... -
" Hehe, I win again, Marsha!"
" My name isn't Marsha, Alex."
" You look like Marsha, you have the
same hair as Marsha..."
" My Hair is red, Marsha Bruenigs
hair is brown."
" So you're an imperfect Marsha
Bruenig Clone?"
" I'm not a... that's it, I'm going home."
- ... and actually lost her at the same
day... drat. -

- After this little mischief, our little
guy felt tired and went to bed... -
" Zzzzz... Please,don't let it become
monday.... Zzzz... "
- Aww, Alex, with that wish, we're
soulmates, you know? Too bad, that
these kind of wishes never happen... -

- ... or not?
"Hi General Pinoch... ehr, Long I
mean. It's great that you came over, I
have something to discuss with you...
"

- meanwhile (see Chapter 3 Part 1 for
the beginning of this little Sidestory): -
*Ring*RIng*
" Hello? "

" The mistress is looking for her pet. "

" EGAD! What is this, some kind of
perverted call? I swear, if I get to
know who you are, I'll... "

" Rrrgh..., it's your Boss speaking,
Agent Lucy! And the right answer to
the secret password would be: does
she carry a whip?... *shouldn't have
listen to the Counts stupid codeword
idea...* "

" Oh, oh, sorry mistress... I mean
Countess... I mean, Siress, erh..."
"Whatever... How does our 'Project'
progress, Agent? "
" Well, you see, Sir... wait a minute...
Gerd, Honey? how far are you with
the robots? "

" Great, darling! I've finally got my
bronze badge, and have just realized,
that we can make more than just
stupid toy robots... "

" Uhm, he says, he just got his bronze
badge and has realized... "
" Only Bronze? How long will it take
for him to get finally Gold? "
" This... might take some time... "
" I remind you, that we probably don't
have 'time'..."
- Oh, there's something going on
here... What does the Countess want?
Why should Gerd get a Goldbadge?
What is 100 divided per 6? Well... -

- ... this has to be a secret till next time.
Now it's time again to thank the
friendly placeholders of this chapter,
Tim - who seems to have the same
good taste for pullovers and long hair
like me -... -

- ... and Tom Rosegarden. Have an
Ice... I mean, have a cookie, my friend!
