The Pollett Legacy: Chapter 31The Disappearance of Adah (or Jess and the floozy.)

Pollett Legacy

Chapter31

This chapter begins with a picture of Savannah. Because she is really pretty, and I don’t often play up this fact. Her beauty is different to that of her siblings, and I appreciate it just as much. Bear that in mind before you throw her out in the heir poll stakes.

Anyway, without further ado, lets continue!!

Pollett Legacy

Chapter31

We left as the older twins began college.

Skye’s attempts to raise Charity and his household are useless and there are soon more important things to be doing.

Like playing computer games.

Pollett Legacy

Chapter31

And practising ballet.

For a sim who likes tinkering, Charisma managed to raise her music & dance pretty fast!

Pollett Legacy

Chapter31

Skye also has other things to do.

“I’d like to buy a potion please.”

“What for? Want to make the guys love you more? Trying to find the mythical city on the hills? Got a bad case of the furries when you go to sleep?”

“No. Wait. You can get a potion for finding the mythical city on the hills?”

Pollett Legacy

Chapter31

“Sure thing. It’ll cost you though.”

“Eh, we’ve got cash. Yes please! No wait. Not today. I’d like some anti-vampire stuff please.”

“Ugh, that’s what the always want. Never anything interesting. Here you go.”

Pollett Legacy

Chapter31

“Bleh!”

Enjoying your dinner?

“Mmm, not enough blood. What’s that on the table?”

Pollett Legacy

Chapter31

“It looks suspicious. I should drink it.”

What part of suspicious makes you want to drink it?

Pollett Legacy

Chapter31

“Agh! It burns!”

Pollett Legacy

Chapter31

“That was unpleasant but the after-effect is worth it. Thank boolprop for that, I am a rubbish vampire.”

You’re telling me? I was the one trying to stop you dying!

Pollett Legacy

Chapter31

Over at the legacy household, Adah is bored.

“What are you getting up to today, Jess?”

“The usual – blogging about music and playing guitar. And maybe some ballet practise.”

Pollett Legacy

Chapter31

“I don’t think he even remembers me anymore.”

I’m sure it’s not that bad.

“He’s obsessive. I think I’m going to see what this mystery note has to say for itself. And I want a new look.”

Pollett Legacy

Chapter31

Seriously?

“How is this dress?”

Er... It’s very nice?

Pollett Legacy

Chapter31

“New hair!”

I wouldn’t stick with that if I were you, or Skye might get upset.

“Oh. Okay then.”

Pollett Legacy

Chapter31

“How about this?”

That’s..... Horrible.

“Yeah. It is.”

Pollett Legacy

Chapter31

“Well? How about that?”

That’s just nice.

“I hope the kids will be okay while I’m gone.”

Pollett Legacy

Chapter31

Tucker is watching sports.

“No! You don’t do it like that!”

He still doesn’t have a yard big enough to play any sports in.

Pollett Legacy

Chapter31

Savannah is studying.

“Gotta do well for college!”

Pollett Legacy

Chapter31

Eleazar is doing... Well, what are you doing?

“I’m just strutting, chilling, being cool, ya know.”

Er... As you were?

Pollett Legacy

Chapter31

And Jess is indeed blogging about music and dance.

Now that he can be “in the zone” he rarely does anything else. He doesn’t need to stop for anything.

Pollett Legacy

Chapter31

“That settles it. I had a long think about it at work and I’m going. No one in this house is even going to notice I’m not here.”

If you’re sure....

Pollett Legacy

Chapter31

“Boolprop, it’s early.”

The note did say 5am.

“This had better be worth it.”

Pollett Legacy

Chapter31

“I’m not going to look back, I’m not going to look back.”

You’re not coming back?

“I’m not sure I care.”

Pollett Legacy

Chapter31

What about Charity? And the kids? And Jess?

“Eh, they’ll survive. They’re all fine so far.”

And with that, Adah is gone.

Pollett Legacy

Chapter31

“I dreamed that I was in a world made of candy, and I got presented with a guitar made entirely out of gum drops.”

Sweet?

“Adah?”

Pollett Legacy

Chapter31

“Has anyone seen Adah this morning?”

“Is she working early?”

“She doesn’t work early.”

“I’m sure she’s around somewhere.”

Pollett Legacy

Chapter31

“What are you going to do today, dad?”

“More of the usual, I expect. I want to blog about my gum drop guitar.”

“Dad, I swear you’re losing it.”

Pollett Legacy

Chapter31

It being Saturday, the kids are expected to study.

“This is boring.”

If you study hard enough, you won’t have to work at college, and then you’ll thank me.

“Yeah, Maria is really thanking you for that.”

Pollett Legacy

Chapter31

Jess is even “in the zone” when watching Savannah play piano.

“Please, that’s not playing, that’s massacring.”

“Dad! You’re supposed to be helping!”

“Try looking at your fingers when you play?”

Pollett Legacy

Chapter31

There is sneaking out to be done, apparently.

Pollett Legacy

Chapter31

“What do you expect us to do, when you force us to work so hard?”

You do remember that tomorrow is Monday, and you’ve got school?

“I’m sure we’ll be fine.”

Pollett Legacy

Chapter31

“His ass is going to get soooo busted.”

Pollett Legacy

Chapter31

“Ugh. Why me? I was the one with the fear of getting caught. He could have done Eleazar but no, he had to bring me in.”

Pollett Legacy

Chapter31

Eleazar is acting all innocent.

“It’s hardly my fault if I’m better at not getting caught than him.”

Pollett Legacy

Chapter31

Jess is quite blasé about the whole thing.

“Honestly, I’m too old for this now.”

You go with that.

Pollett Legacy

Chapter31

“None of us have seen Adah for three days.”

“Maybe she’s on a really long shift, or she glitched and didn’t get home.”

“Wasn’t there some cookery thing happening some time soon?”

Pollett Legacy

Chapter31

“I appreciate you trying to be nice, but be honest with me. She’s left me, hasn’t she? For that guy from college that was ALWAYS here.”

“Calm down dad, I’m sure it’s not that bad.”

“Come on, you know I’m not your dad. I’m not that stupid. WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!”

Pollett Legacy

Chapter31

A little bit later, Jess has calmed down.

“I don’t mind so much that you’re my only child, Savannah.”

“Honestly dad, all five of us think of you as our dad anyway. Even if you’re not biologically dad to all of us. You raised us all. Whatever you do is fine by us.”

Pollett Legacy

Chapter31

“I had a good talk with Marsha this afternoon, and she thinks I need to put Adah behind me and get on with my life.”

“We don’t even know she’s gone for good....”

“No, Marsha is right, I should have moved on a long time ago.”

Pollett Legacy

Chapter31

“Now look you. You might be soaking in our hot tub with your fancy new hair trying to woo *our* dad but I see through you.”

“Sweetie, I want nothing more than what is best for your dad.”

“Gold digger.”

Pollett Legacy

Chapter31

“I’m going running. I need time to think about this.”

Pollett Legacy

Chapter31

“You might want to see this, sis.”

“Oh, I’m soooo sure I don’t.”

Pollett Legacy

Chapter31

“Jess is naked in the hot tub with a floozy.”

“He’s Jess now, rather than dad? What happened to the earlier show of solidarity?”

“You’re telling me you’d admit to being related to him when he’s doing this?”

Pollett Legacy

Chapter31

Crisis talks happen in the hot tub.

“Mum has been gone for just a few days and already *your* dad has jumped in the hot tub with a floozy.”

“Come on Tucker, there’s no need to be so harsh on her. She might be good for him.”

Pollett Legacy

Chapter31

“I say we cowplant the harlot.”

Pollett Legacy

Chapter31

“Hey, there’s no need to be hasty. I caught dad looking at that cake wistfully the other day, the last thing we need is him deciding to cowplant himself.”

“Is it Jess, or is it dad?”

“Stick with what’s important, Savannah.”

Pollett Legacy

Chapter31

“I’m going running.”

“Didn’t you go earlier?”

“I’m going again. You coming?”

Pollett Legacy

Chapter31

“Couldn’t hurt. Do you do thinking and stuff when you’re out running?”

“Best place for it. I think a lot about dad. He’s been really hard done by and I think we should try and help him somehow.”

“You really are a family sim, aren’t you?”

“You’re the first one that’s noticed.”

Pollett Legacy

Chapter31

“Boolprop, how do you do that? I’m so hot I might die.”

Pollett Legacy

Chapter31

“So we got a bit burnt. It’s not so bad. Get over it, you pansy.”

Pollett Legacy

Chapter31

“Ooh, I’m not feeling so good. Wait, where are going?”

“I’ve got an idea. I know how to sort this out.”

Pollett Legacy

Chapter31

“Dad, we’ve had a good discussion about you and the floozy.”

“Her name is Marsha, and we only cuddled. We were friends at college.”

“Sure dad, we know.”

“Anyway, we’re okay with it.”

Pollett Legacy

Chapter31

“You are?”

Pollett Legacy

Chapter31

“Yeah. We know mum hasn’t been too kind to you. (We didn’t realise you knew though.) And if you want to run away with a floozy, well... We’d say you’d earned that right.”

Pollett Legacy

Chapter31

“Honey, you’re too cute. There really is nothing going on between me and Marsha though.”

“Sure there isn’t.”

Pollett Legacy

Chapter31

“We all love you dad. No matter what you decide.”

“I love you too honey. I hope being your dad hasn’t impaired your chances at heirship.”

Pollett Legacy

Chapter31

“And he was fine with that?”

“Yeah, more or less. I have another trick up my sleeve though.”

“Aren’t you planning on going to college soon? Tick tock, you’re getting old and all that?”

Pollett Legacy

Chapter31

“Keep that up, little brother, and you’ll never live to see your adult years.”

“Gulp.”

Pollett Legacy

Chapter31

“I’m sorry you couldn’t see me to college, dad. Have a nice day at work and I’ll call you when I get there.”

“Stay in touch. And watch out for all those guys after your fitness-honed behind.”

“Eww dad. Just eww.”

Pollett Legacy

Chapter31

“I hope she’ll be okay. I don’t want her to be like me.”

Calm down, I’m sure it’ll be fine.

Pollett Legacy

Chapter31

“Hehe. I’m a genius. Asta, dad is going to love you. He’ll forget Marsha ever existed.”

Pollett Legacy

Chapter31

And although that was a slightly shorter update, this seems a good place to leave it. In the next chapter, find out:

•Will Jess get on with Asta?•How will everyone fare at college?

The thrilling climax to the Pollett legacy is just around the corner!! Happy Simming!
