Scooter 5.8 - Dry Bones

[moveobjectsron]

Welcome back my friends. After a wee break I am here to power through the last 3 updates of this generation. Judging by the bear in the banner you can look forward to accursedness, and not just of the familial kind.

 

Dunno about you guys but whenever my current gen's kids come home with group projects, I wait till one of them starts theirs autonomously.

Then I pin them as that generation's Big Nerd.. This time it's Briana. What a NERD.

Bree: (sigh) This is what I get for securing an educated future for myself.

Now what is all this gestronomic shenanigans going on in the Delgado-Scooter kitchen today?

Ori: My cousin finally coughed up his recipe for hilachas and I am absolutely geekin

Well, yes, but there's also a birthday today! It's oldest boy Luca's! Happy birthday Luca!

Luca: I want a DONKEY

There he is!

Luca: OOoooooh man I definitely do feel accursed. Meemee, we should probably get on that.

Ori, on their phone: Uh-huh.

Man, Damián is honestly a little turd.

Dami: NO, I do NOT want to go to the PARK with a STINKY NERD!!!

Bree: Jeez, Dami, it was just a question! Weirdo...

Remember when I made this generation about Seasons way back in chapter 1? Yeah, we're just getting into that now. Happy Winterfest!

Dami: Happy eating day! Woooohooo!

Ori still loves their very first son very much <3

Ori: Oh, Rainbow. You'll always be my sweet little baby.

Rainbow: (contented grumble-sigh)

Dami: Hey, fat guy with a bad beard!

Father Winter: Hmm? Are you talking to Father Winter in such a naughty, mean way?

Dami: Uh, yeah, what other fat guy with a beard do you see? Listen, this year for Winterfest I don't want anything material. Just a straight A report card so my parents will buy me and my sister an Xbox.

Father Winter: Immaterial, huh.

Oh come on, Briana! I trusted you the most!!!

Ori: Briana, I expected this from your twin, but from you? Clean this up right away!

Bree: WEH!!

It's time for Luca's first day of high school! (sigh) Prom is on its w--

Luca: No it's not. Wrong game.

Damn it!! Foiled again.

Sully, a professional chef, has work at night. In the mornings, he's...the help.

Sully: No this is fine :) I love my f...family.

Man, idk why Bree's feeling so salty today. But she is positively scowling at everything.

Bree: I can't help it. I've been spending too much time around my awful twin brother!

Speaking of Bree's brothers, they are as different as different could be.

Dami: Say, Luca, I'm thinking you could take me to the library today.

Luca: Sure. I wanted to pick up some books myself. What are you gonna borrow?

Dami: Oh, I just wanted to stick gum under all the tables. So you gonna take me or what?

Luca: What the hell.

Somebody needs to take this relic away from Sully. He is out of control.

Morgyn Ember: ...I am mentally witnessing every shade of croc in existence? I hate this

It's time for Luca to undergo the undeathening. Cue creepy relic.

Ori: (chanting in a terrifying manner)

Luca: You know, maybe this whole curse thing isn't so--

Ori: ...Luca Ramón Delgado, I invite you...to experience undeath!

It's skeleton time for Luca.

Luca: EEEEEWWWW where did my skin go!!!! This is SO GROSS!!!

Ori, aside: You kids are so ungrateful.

Briana's disdain for Rainbow continues into this day.

Bree: (grumbling) You stinky, gross dog. Peeing in the house. (sigh) At least it was in the bathroom, I guess.

Look, I know I keep saying Strangerville has been unstrange-ified, but these damn Scooters are making it hard.

Luca: I'm in it for the night air between my exposed ribs.

I got Sully the creepy scarecrow. Because Seasons, you know?

This purchase was entirely superfluous. I did not use it...at all.

Sully: But it adds to the aesthetique, non?

I guess I was going to do something with this random child because I put The Face Blush(C) on him, but...I don't...exactly recall who he was. He didn't even appear in Dami's relationship panel. Or ever again. So...yeah.

I'm really good at StorytellingTM guys.

Sully, reading: "...Mr. Scooter-- Your efforts to preserve and return Omiscan artifacts to the various research centres of Guatemala have enriched our understanding of our past and continue to do so in the future. We will be reconsidering a different figure for your commission fee; attached are some examples..."

Yes I am explaining away that I click-drag-sell artifacts in game to make money. Pls.

What's this? The twins, getting along?! This is a sight I haven't seen in ages and won't see again for literal years.

Sully: So, what do you say we uh...y'know...woo and hoo?

Ori: (giggling) Sully, stop! We're not in our twenties anymore...

Sully: Aw, that doesn't mean we're dead, Ori! Well, me, anyway. I dunno about you, skeleton shapeshifter.

Luca: I wonder if this thing actually talks...

Scarecrow: AAHHHH a skeleton!!

Luca: Huh. Pretty rude if you asked me.

Briana has entered a childhood phase. And it just HAD to be the bear one.

Bree: I sure hope this doesn't unlock something in me.

Bree: ...nnh.

Snuggles for old man Rainbow!

Sully: Who's a good unidentifiable animal? It's yoooooou!

They say a magic user's power is magnified with an animal familiar.

Random cat: Yaaaaaas cast a spell on an unsuspecting person, unsolicited magic king

Luca's finally getting the hang of this whole skeleton thing. He's learned how to play the rib-skeleton.

Luca: Y'know I hated this when meemee did it years ago, but it's actually pretty fun. Listen--it's melody to Funky Town.
