#shadowmoon legacy

[peachbumms]

After a harrowing night being turned, Liesbet returns to her apartment. As she gets ready for the night she hears noises coming from downstairs. Cautiously she descends the stairs and is blinded by the yellow aura by her front door. The aura materializes more and in front of Liesbet appears her lost love.

Liesbet could tell Junko was tense and seemed nervous but none of that mattered. Liesbet embraces her lover in her arms with a kiss as she whispers in her ear “I knew you’d return to me.” Junko ecstatic that her girlfriend was glad to see her could tell something was different with Liesbet even though everything seemed the same. However, that was neither here nor there as the spunky girl gets down on her knees with tears in her eyes,” I’ve been meaning to ask you, but someone had different plans, "Junko looked shy, “but Junko my dear will you spend all eternity with me?”

I forgot to post this eons ago, I'm sorry. Please don't expect super regular updates! I play when I want and can.

I have no fancy header to put on my Shadowmoon legacy—whoopsie—but anyway! Erika had an uneventful first week living in San Sequoia (10 days). However, she did make two friends: Kiyoshi Ito and Molly Prescott.

But things might be getting complicated...

That Sunday, Erika was woken up by the sound of someone getting through the front door.

A strange man had somehow gotten into the house with a strange aura about him. He snuck around the house, almost looking for something--or perhaps someone.

Erika tiptoed down the stairs while he was looking through the home office. She hid in front of the couch and waited for the perfect moment to confront him. Once he left the office and went to go up the stairs, Erika left her hiding space, primed to call the police.

But Lady Luck was not on her side.

He spun around and said something incomprehensible to the teen. Before Erika could get a word out or call out to her parents, she fell asleep on the floor.

Her parents woke up that morning, surprised by the sight of their daughter on the floor--unharmed.

In fact, nothing was harmed or missing. So, she wrote it off as sleepwalking--a habit she had since she was a little girl. The man must've just been a figment of her imagination, right?

She went on a field trip that Monday, wherein she encountered a particularly strange but popular girl named Selena. Selena Stoker.

Erika couldn't help but think to herself, "Why does Selena look so familiar?"

Tuesday was Halloween but literally nothing of note happened with that.

The strange guy entering the house was not intended but I ended up figuring out a way to work him into the storyline. And yes, he's a vampire I created. It probably had to do with the abilities I gave him and autonomy with households not in "my households."

I will probably need to make a master list of CC I use once things get bigger lol... I will make CC lists for the individual sim profiles, though! Expect a mod list sometime this month, too.

Shadowmoon Legacy Part 6: The Letter

Gonna be trying out some different stuff in the writing portions of this one.

It's been a couple weeks now and Charlotte has gotten comfortable with her new life in Forgotten Hollow. One morning a mysterious package was left in her mailbox.

Greetings, It has come to our attention that the residency at Windowshild Townhome is once again home to a resident of Forgotten Hollow. As this is the case we will resume delivery of our best curated items suitable to life in our community. We hope you enjoy the complimentary gift we've provided and wish you and yours a very long and prosperous life. Sincerely, The Grand Coven of Forgotten Hollow

The package that came with the letter was just as confusing. In it were two simple... bags of juice?

Looking them over Charlotte was hesitant to try them. Unlabeled except for a purple staff on one and a stylized frog on the other. Not quite sure what to do with them she sends a message to Jeremy over Social Bunny.

Charlotte: hey, I got a strange package today Jeremy: Oh? Anything interesting? Charlotte: sends a picture of packs Charlotte: any idea what they are? Jeremy: Odd... I don't think I've seen anything like that. Would love to look them over though. Charlotte: meet at magnolia? Jeremy: Sure, meet you there.

Meeting up at the part Charlotte shows Jeremy the letter she got and the odd juice packs that were in the mail.

"Grand Coven of Forgotten Hollow?" asks Jeremy.

Shrugging her shoulders. "I haven't heard of them, maybe it's Forgotten Hollow's NAP group?" She turns over one of the packs. "Either way, sending juice packs in the mail?"

Looking over the other one Jeremy laughs. "It wouldn't be the weirdest NAP put into place, I heard in Evergreen Harbor they voted to wear bags on their heads all the time."

"Fair enough. So... think you could figure out what this is?"

He pockets one of the packs while standing up. "Easy, I've got a friend at FutureSim that can check it out. It's probably just some out-of-season Spooky Day prank. What with how Forgotten Hollow looks I wouldn't be surprised."

"Maybe, though writing a whole letter to go with it is a bit more effort than the usual prank day trick."

The two spend a bit more time chatting in the park before going their separate ways for now, each with one of the odd packs to take home. On the way Charlotte considered just opening it, turning it over and over as she walked up the steps to her home. Not coming up with any clear decision she stashed it in the corner of her fridge and went about her other business.

Sometime in the early evening, she heard a knock on the door. She went to see who was at the door only to find no one there. Confused she looked around only to kick a new package off the steps.

She was confused at the second odd package to end up at her door. This time an old-looking book with a note attached to it.

We heard you were looking for something like this, hope it helps whatever you're up to. ~ L. & C. Vatore

Charlotte brought the book inside and began to look it over. It quickly became clear that this was exactly what she was looking for...

Encyclopedia Vampirica Volume 1

This is a much longer post than the ones before, I wanted to try out having more dialogue and whatnot to better characterize everyone. What can I say, it's hard for me to write any kind of story without dialogue lol.

Had a good time mixing in some of my own made-up lore with the various lore and tidbits already in the game. I could make this a super grounded story but I like having the silly sims touches be cannon in the story (looking at you, We Wear Bags NAP).

AMAZON CHALLENGE

Chapter 7:

Artemis- I found her. Alma Curse, the priestess now attends my Court. However, it came at a small price, his daughter Magdalene joined us too, but at my sister's Court. I hope you are a good warrior. Another very exciting news is that Mister Bones Shadowmoon, my cat will have kittens with Seleana, another addition that came with Curse. Now, my heiress will grow up with my cat's children. Isn't that exciting?

Isis- Magdalene Curse is the most useless person I've ever seen. What hate! If it weren't for Artemis and her stupid surpertitions. On the other hand, Nyx has shown herself to be an excellent guard and excellent archer. It'll be great for defending ourselves while I'm incapacitated… I mean, pregnant. When my heir is born, I will instruct Nyx to reproduce. I want strong warriors like her to protect my princess.

Nyx- Today is my first day as Captain of the Guard. After Kareena's defection, I think I'm doing well. I escorted the Queens to Mount Komorebi to see the priestess. There, I also provided a worker that the Matriarch requested. I will also be responsible for instructing Madalena, Alma's useless daughter. My instincts might make me question whether Ophelia can be trusted, after all, she is the defector's mother. But, I think that answer, only time will tell…

Ophelia- Alma Curse. I recognize that name. But it can't be, can it? If I recognize her, she will definitely recognize me. This can not happen. I need to act. Poison seems like a good option. So I guess this is goodbye. I always wondered why I spent time writing in this journal. Since I don't even know if anyone will read this diary, I cursed it with my own blood. But now I recognize the value of these notes. The legacy I will leave. We will ascend!

Shadowmoon Legacy Part 5: The Vatores

Finishing out the week Charlotte headed over to spend the evening with the Vatore siblings after a quick text exchange with Caleb.

The evening started a bit slow, Caleb seeming mostly content to just sit and chat in the sitting room. A game or two of chess, and not much else.

Getting to know them a bit better, Charlotte learned that they had moved to Forgotten Hollow some time ago. Lilith was the more outgoing of the two and was leading most of the conversation. She was interested in hearing about Charlotte living in San Myshuno. The two were getting on pretty well while Caleb worked on making something to eat in the kitchen. After the fine meal, Charlotte was ready to leave, noting the late evening hour.

Lilith on the other hand, had a different idea.

Heading into town the three made their way to The Blue Velvet nightclub. While it wasn't Charlotte's normal haunt, she was interested in the change of pace compared to the slower evening.

The place was busy but the trio were able to find a good space to be able to dance and enjoy the music. While Charlotte and Caleb were a little out of their comfort zone, Lilith was able to easily lose herself in the music and energy of the club. All in all, it was a good time for everyone. Some playful jabs between the siblings about the evening activity choice finish the night as the three make their way back to Forgotten Hollow.

It was a shock to Charlotte when she saw it was close to 4 in the morning when she got home. As they made their way into the neighborhood Llith and Caleb almost seemed as if they could have gone on for several hours more. Charlotte not so much... Not even making it up the stairs, Charlotte passes out on the couch with only a couple hours to sleep before she has to get up for work in the morning.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It's perfectly fine for a sim to go to work with their energy in the orange right?
