Journal Entry #77: Nebulon Gives Inspiring Speech
[🔮Occult Legacy Challenge - Generation 1 Diaries🔮]
Nebulon has been growing up so quickly, so I decided it was time I told him why I have been so paranoid.
Tumblr media
Investigating Bella Goth's disappearance, my research into aliens, and my infamy as the Hero of Strangerville has made me a target. I've been operating from a place of fear, and I have been trying to protect my son from those who would want to harm him.
Tumblr media
At first, Nebulon was angry. Being cooped up in this bunker was driving him insane. He wanted to go to school and be like the other kids.
Tumblr media
Nebulon told me about the joyride he had taken on his bike into town the other day while I was at the Curio Shop. He said he was confident and trusted himself, Neb asked why I didn't feel that way about myself. Such a deep question for a young kid.
Tumblr media
My son reminded me that I am one of the most brilliant scientists in all of SimNation; I have achieved every goal I have set for myself. If anyone could protect him, it was me. I didn't need to be afraid...my enemies should fear me!

Journal Entry #75: Rose Seeking Rose
[🔮Occult Legacy Challenge - Generation 1 Diaries🔮]
Despite things with Cassandra being awkward, I still asked her to join me for my first attempt at cloning something. She made some flirty comments about the rose I was using to test my new cloning machine.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
When the experiment failed in a somewhat poetic way, I explained to Cassandra that I wasn't going to change my mind about going on a date. I didn't have those feelings for her or anyone, being romantic just wasn't for me.
Tumblr media
As I recalibrated the machine, I explained that despite her crush, I wasn't the sim she was looking for. Cassandra just needed to recalibrate too! Maybe then she'd find someone to reciprocate those types of feelings.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Sure enough, after the recalibration, the second attempt at cloning was a success and an identical rose appeared opposite the original. Things remained a little awkward between Cassandra, but I believe the experiment helped her to understand where I was coming from. I really do hope she finds her rose.

Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Now that I had used my SimRay to brainwash inspire Loki to clean, I could finally work on something without him looking over my shoulder. I had an idea for a new invention, something that could be helpful to me in a lot of ways...

Journal Entry #73: SimRay Upgraded!
[🔮Occult Legacy Challenge - Generation 1 Diaries🔮]
My work task today was to tidy the lab, but I had a few breakthroughs recently that I wanted to explore.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
With my paranoia at an all-time high, I knew I needed to upgrade my SimRay to have a few more capabilities for protection. Nothing life-threatening, but something that would brainwash inspire the SimRay's target to leave me alone.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
As I finished the upgrades, Dr Beaker came in screaming incoherently about the state of the Lab, reminding me that my work task for the day was to tidy. I calmed him down, saying that I had been working on it! One of the upgrades to my SimRay was to accomplish just that! I just needed to test it out.
Tumblr media
I pointed the SimRay his way and pulled the trigger. As Loki absorbed the beam, he was brainwashed inspired to go clean!

Journal Entry #72: Missing Page Mystery
[🔮Occult Legacy Challenge - Generation 1 Diaries🔮]
Tumblr media
I walked over to the Curio Shop this evening to ask about the missing page in my copy of Untold Mysteries of Strangerville. Ajay informed me that it wasn't just my copy of the book, every copy was missing the last page. Ajay said there were many theories as to why. Some argue it was just a marketing ploy to get more people curious, but other conspiracy theorists think the missing mystery was too scandalous to be published.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Meanwhile...
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Nebulon had been practising riding his bike outside Slip 42 when he finally mastered it. He'd never been outside the trailer park on his own, but feeling confident in his new abilities, he decided to take a quick little joyride while his dad was at the Curio Shop. He even did a sick trick!

I've been finishing up reading Untold Mysteries of Strangerville but I noticed my copy is defective. It seems the last page of the book is missing. Very strange. I'll need to go see the Curio Shop owner about sourcing another copy. As I was reading, Cassandra finally called me and asked me for a date. I told her I'd rather we stay friends...Yikes!

Journal Entry #70: Over Protective Much?
[🔮Occult Legacy Challenge - Generation 1 Diaries🔮]
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
It broke my heart to do this. Nebulon had his heart set on attending school with other kids, but with the military snooping around, it just wasn't safe right now. I had to tell him he was not allowed to go to school. I need to keep him safe. The only place safe is with me or locked inside the bunker.

Journal Entry #69: Snooping Military Personnel
[🔮Occult Legacy Challenge - Generation 1 Diaries🔮]
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
After my long day of tedious and mind-numbing work tasks, I returned home to Slip 42 to find military personnel rummaging through my trashcan. I confronted General Buzz Grunt and warned that if I ever catch him trespassing on my property again, I wouldn't hesitate to use my SimRay on him. Why is the military looking through my trash?

Journal Entry #68: Independent Work Tasks
[🔮Occult Legacy Challenge - Generation 1 Diaries🔮]
Sometimes I don't think Loki is paying attention when assigning my daily work tasks. He and I are still at odds so he assigns me the most tedious and least interesting tasks he can think of as a way to punish me. I'm still refusing to do any of my Ufologist research; I am paranoid that my continued research in that field will jeopardise my alien son's safety.
Tumblr media
However, I didn't mind how random my tasks were today. It allowed me to keep to myself which helped me avoid a certain co-worker I was too anxious to talk to. I had a sinking feeling things between Cassandra and I were about to become complicated. Now that she and Don Lothario had ended their engagement, Cassandra had started looking at me differently. It made me nervous to think about how her developing a crush on me could impact our friendship. I'd also been keeping a pretty big secret from her.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
✅ Create Tainted Serum Since I began digging into the mystery of Bella Goth, I've made some shocking discoveries. Cassandra's mother was still out there, alive! I was getting closer to finding her, but I was embarrassed to tell Cassandra that I was the one getting in the way of finding her mom.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
✅ Tend Garden Pollination Technician #3 could help me uncover why Bella Goth was abducted and if anything unusual occurred with her return. Selfishly, I worried meeting Nebulon's other parent might make me feel more inferior than I already was as a single parent. However, I think after recently conquering my fear of death, I'm starting to realize how I might be basing a lot of my decisions on fear. This was something to unpack further.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
✅ Give co-worker Tainted Serum As I finished my work day, my theory about Loki was proven correct. Dr. Beaker didn't seem to recall assigning me the task of giving a co-worker a tainted serum when he drank mine. I revelled in his misery as my concoction wreaked havoc on his digestive system. He'll pay closer attention tomorrow.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
As a result of my masterful deception, I earned an increase to my Mischief skill.

Journal Entry #67: It's Over Don Lothario!
[🔮Occult Legacy Challenge - Generation 1 Diaries🔮]
Cassandra was escorted out of the hospital after she smacked Don Lothario. He wasn't hurt physically, but I imagine his ego was. The whole hospital watched their very public break up.
Tumblr media
Don was still yelling at Cassandra outside and blaming her for their relationship being over while she mocked him for being a cheater until he finally gave up and went back inside.
Tumblr media
I went to tell Cassandra how confident and self-assured she seemed throughout her confrontation with Don. But when Don had left, all of her emotions began to swell up and she immediately started sobbing.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I tried to cheer her up by telling her the truth. I was so proud of her for standing her ground and believing in herself. She was right! She did deserve better than Don Lothario. She deserved someone who would do anything for her! Someone who would be there for her. She was such an amazing person and Don Lothario missed out on his chance with one of the most brilliant and kind sims I know!
Tumblr media
I could feel my heartfelt speech relax Cassandra. She stopped crying and when we pulled away from each other, she looked up at me and smiled. There was something different about her gaze and how it lingered that made me a little nervous. Uh oh! Could Cassandra have romantic feelings for me?

Journal Entry #65: Confronting Don Lothario
[🔮Occult Legacy Challenge - Generation 1 Diaries🔮]
The next morning, I received a text from Cassandra asking if I would be willing to accompany her to the hospital where Don worked so she could confront him. Of course, I said I would go with her to support her no matter what she chose to do.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
When we arrived at the hospital we bumped into Jenny Smith. I figured it would be embarrassing to just lurk around during Cassandra's confrontation, so I made some small talk with Jenny while Cassandra told Don that they needed to talk about their relationship.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I couldn't listen to everything that was said, but from what I could hear, it sounded like Cassandra asked Don about his noncommittal trait. Why did he propose to her if he didn't want to get married? The two began to argue over their relationship. Cassandra confronted Don about the evidence we saw of his affairs, but Don argued that he was just being flirty and nothing serious had happened.
Tumblr media
Don reaffirmed his love for Cassandra and swore that she was the only one he wanted to spend the rest of his life with. He promised to be faithful from here on out. It seemed like Cassandra was softening and willing to give Don yet another chance when his phone buzzed.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Don couldn't stop himself from looking at his phone. Cassandra could see that the texts were from Nina Caliente. I think she knew then that Don would never change, he lacked the ambition to be a real faithful partner. He would never stop looking for something better. She stood up and smacked him hard across the face as she confidently told him she deserved better!

Journal Entry #64: Hacking Lothario Trust Fund
[🔮Occult Legacy Challenge - Generation 1 Diaries🔮]
Cassandra left work in tears after the discovery that her fiance, Don Lothario, had been cheating on her with multiple women. Her father, before his passing, installed a spy cam to ensure the man betrothed to his daughter was a good man. Turns out he was not, but Cassandra still needed to have a conversation with Don. She was in love with him despite it all.
Tumblr media
When I returned home, I was so angry with Don Lothario! I decided to use my Programming skill to seek some compensation for the emotional damage he caused my friend! I trusted Cassandra, but I knew she had a soft spot for Don. I hoped she would come to her senses and dump him. She deserved better.
Tumblr media
My Programming skill was almost maxed out, so I hacked into The Lothario Trust Fund to see how Don had been spending his money. I wasn't very shocked to see his finances were in terrible shape. He was almost broke and owed a lot of money. For a moment, I almost felt guilty.
Tumblr media
But then I got over it and took the §239 remaining in his account.

Journal Entry #63: Accessing Spy Cam Footage
[🔮Occult Legacy Challenge - Generation 1 Diaries🔮]
At work the next day, I approached Cassandra for help with logging into her recently deceased father's work computer. I spoke with Mortimer's ghost at the graveyard yesterday and he told me that on the night of his death, he had installed a spy cam outside Don Lothario's condo complex.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
At first, Cassandra did not believe me and thought I was playing a mischievous prank on her. But once we had successfully logged into Mortimer's email, we saw that Mortimer had been telling the truth. The camera had been sending screenshots every time it sensed movement on Don Lothario's balcony.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Cassandra opened the email and reviewed the photos taken by the spy cam. Photo after photo showed Don Lothario entangled with different women, none of whom were Cassandra.
Tumblr media
Cassandra closed her eyes and put her fingers in her ears trying to tune out what we had just seen. Her fiance, Don Lothario, had been cheating on her. It broke my heart for her to find out this way.

Journal Entry #62: What Killed Mortimer Goth?
[🔮Occult Legacy Challenge - Generation 1 Diaries🔮]
The ghost of Mortimer began to tell the story of how he met his demise...
Tumblr media
It was a cold and windy evening in Pleasantview. Mortimer had just arrived at the new condo complex downtown. The colder temperatures always made Mortimer's joints ache. He felt his age in this weather but was here on a mission.
Tumblr media
He was installing a camera opposite his future son-in-law's condo. When he climbed down the ladder and stepped back, he couldn't help but admire his work. It reminded him of his wife, Bella Goth, who used to work for S.I.M.S. before her disappearance. Mortimer chuckled as he pondered how Bella would have chosen to spy on Cassandra's fiance.
Tumblr media
As Mortimer reminisced about his missing wife, he got caught up in thinking about how long it had been since Bella disappeared. She went missing when their son, Alexander, was still in diapers. Mortimer missed her dearly, but maybe his daughter was right. Cassandra had told him it was time he moved on. Lost in his thoughts, Mortimer almost didn't notice the voice calling out to him. A beautiful blonde-haired woman, Dina Caliente, had come out of the condo he'd just been drilling into.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
At first, Mortimer's plan was to use his Charisma skill to charm the woman and leave, but he couldn't help but notice how attractive she was. It wasn't long before he was sharing some of his poetry with her. Mortimer quickly developed a sentiment towards Dina; he enjoyed being around her.
Tumblr media
It had been so long since Mortimer had been able to share this romantic side of himself; it felt so good to be around Dina, but he wasn't sure if she was reciprocating these same feelings for an elder sim like him. Mortimer doubted it and decided to say his goodbyes. As he turned to leave, Dina reached out for his hand. With her fingertips touching his wrist, Mortimer felt a spark. He was longing for the connection. His wife had been gone for so long; deep down, he knew it was time he moved on.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Accepting Dina's advance, Mortimer pulled her in for a passionate kiss. He could feel even more sparks flying between them. He didn't think it would be possible to find love again, but he was now head over heels for Dina Caliente.
Tumblr media
Mortimer took a moment and thought about his life. How much time did he, an elder sim, really have left? He shouldn't wait a moment longer to be happy. Dropping down onto one knee, Mortimer proposed.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Mortimer winked and said he couldn't go any further with his story if he wanted to remain a gentleman. I understood what he meant, so I didn't press for more details about his fiance. However, Mortimer still hadn't told me how he died! He laughed. After falling in love, Mortimer said he headed home and died peacefully of Old Age! Nothing sinister! He held up a drink and toasted to his life! Mortimer assured me that he was happy and enjoying himself in the afterlife. It eased my fears of death significantly.
Tumblr media
As we said our goodbyes, Mortimer reminded me to check his work computer for evidence from the spy camera he installed. Cassandra would know his password.
