Genesis Legacy, Part 1 (NLC)

Yes, having gotten through Ten Generations of the Lamont family and discovered that scoring them was going to be absolutely impossible, I decided to start a new legacy family, with a founder, Adam Genesis, a family sim. I'll tell you now, I've had fortune sim founders and family sim founders, and if you have a fortune sim founder, you'll find they have a roof over their heads way sooner. Lol.

Anyway, as a sim with a name like Adam Genesis might suggest, I've decided to work through the Old Testament to name the family. Other than working through in order, I'm not following any particular system with the naming. Since Adam Genesis wound up with seven blood offspring and Adam in Bible only had three, obviously I took some liberties. It's more or less arbitrary and is basically just those names that I like.

Since I was doing that, I figured I might try to actually write the story in similar style to (my edition at least) of the Bible. So yes. It is slightly irreverent, but not intended to belittle or mock anyone's religious beliefs. No offense meant nor I hope any taken!


In the beginning there was the Sims, and the Simmer was the Lady, and the Lady was (more or less) God. And the Lady created the heavens and the earth, and caused to be made, in a protected canyon, that place which she called Ravenswood. And in this place she created a man, whom she named Adam Genesis. And she set aside for him a plot of land called Eden, on which stood nothing but a toilet cubicle. And she told Adam to make of this land his home, and to raise many children who would go out and fill the lands of Ravenswood. And she promised to Adam that for every year of hardship he endured, he should be repaid tenfold.



Sylvan: So, I hear you're the new legacy sim in town.
Adam: Yea.
Sylvan (looking around): Hell, I'm *so* glad I wasn't a founder.


Over time, Adam Genesis became used to his situation.
Adam: Dost thou have to delete the toilet every time I need the refrigerator?
But the Lady was a frugal God and saw where Adam did not the need to husband their limited resources.


The Lady sent trials to test the faith of her Son.
Adam: S97 in taxes due? Faith, will they tax me thus for a toilet?


Adam was a painter of some ambition, and as the Lady gazed upon his creation, asked she, "What paintest thou, o Adam?"
Quothe Adam: Thy divine likeness, oh Lady.
And the Lady was pleased, and saw fit to reward him.



So she bade Adam take the large yellow taxi unto the community lot for to find a wife worthy of his legacy.
Adam: At last, forsooth.


But Adam was led astray by gaming.
Lady: Adam Genesis! You just lost S100 at poker! That's half your money. Repent at once, you sinner!


When Adam's eyes lit upon Breanna London, verily thought he that he had found the lady of his heart.


The Lady permitted him to bring Breanna to tend the Toilet Cubicle, and she accepted, contributing S633 to their sacred charge.


The Lady was wroth at this paltry sum, but made such improvements with it as she saw fit.
Come morning, Adam's masterpiece was finished, and he hung it on his wall. The Lady was pleased by his homage.


But Adam was eager for a child, and the Lady would not permit Breanna to conceive.
Adam: O why, Lady, dost thou deny my this?
And the Lady caused Breanna to bring Virginia home from work, and Adam understood then that Breanna was unworthy in the Lady's eyes. He gazed upon Virginia's countenance and knew himself smitten with love. He knew that he had met his helpmate, the one fated to bear his heirs and be the mother of his legacy.


Adam had by this time created a dwelling for himself of three rooms. It was humble, but grander than what he had been used to call home.


Now it was that Adam was committing a grave deceit. He had not confessed to Breanna his change of heart, but rather kept it concealed within his soul. The Lady saw this and was wroth.
Adam, spake she, if thou wouldst not be cast out, thou must quit this vile deceit.


Though the consequences were grave, Adam knew it to be for the better.


He was now at liberty to make known his love to Virginia.


Whilst Breanna sought residence elsewhere.


Thus it was that Virginia became Adam's wife and took upon herself half of his worldly burdens.


In celebration, the Lady bade them build a house, of brick and tile, to live and raise their children in.


But Breanna, wroth at her own rejection, could not let such insult lie. She sneaked in in the dead of night.


And absconded with the newspaper from the previous day. Yea verily did Adam and Virginia bewail their fate, but the Lady God did not intervene.


And thusly did Adam know Virginia was his true helpmate, for she adopted his own mode of dress.


It was not long before the Lady God saw fit to bless them with fertility.


Though Breanna continued to haunt their house, Adam and Virginia stood secure in the Lady's grace and were not troubled.


Much.


Adam didst everything bade of him, enduring with stoicism the travails of fitness, including splinters.


And the Lady watched over them.


Virginia: Sorry Lila, I have to go. Adam's home. Bye. Yes. Bye. You too.


Adam: Thou lookst beautiful as always, wife.


Virginia: So, how was work?
Adam: The Lady hath blessed me with advancement again.


Virginia: A promotion! Hurrah! Does this mean we get new couches?
Adam: Wife, it is not meet that thou questionest the Lady's decorat--yeargh~!


Virginia: Oh, c'mere, you.

NEXT TIME: Adam wants babies and Virginia wants a career! Baby Cain is born (will he kill his brother?? Will he have a brother to kill??)! The legacy house becomes a cult!
All this and more, next time, in The Legacy Cult of Adam Genesis!
