This is the final chapter of generation 6! We are finally there, folks. It’s only been… how many years has it been? Never mind that, let’s get into the chapter.
Diago: You replaced my super cool electronic basketball hoops with… this?
Yea. Because you like rocks.
Diago: I like rocks?
Diago: Wow, I guess I do like rocks.
Diago: Hey dad!
Alonso: What the hell is that thing?
Diago: My rock machine.
Alonso: Rock machine?
Diago: Yea. Anyways, dad, I went to Egypt last night!
Alonso: Really? Did you fight any mummies?
Diago: Yea! It was crazy! I need to work out a bit before I go next time, it was pretty hard to break all of the stone-
Alonso: Did you gain any skills when you were there?
Diago: No, but-
Alonso: No butts. You promised me that you would gain more skills to get into university! Now get your ass in gear and do it! Do you think Melisa is going to be impressed if you cant even get a good grade on your admission test?
Diago: I get it. No need to rag on me that hard.
Alonso: I just don’t want you to forget. University is important and you need to go. Doesn’t Melisa want to go?
Diago: Yea, she does.
Alonso: Do you want her to go without you? With all of those drunk guys around, hanging out with new friends-
Diago: Looks like I’m still going to university.
That was easy enough.
Rhyan: This chick, seriously? Do they let just anyone be a firefighter?
They let Alonso be a doctor after working at the police station for a few years. So yes. The answer is yes.
Rhyan: Can’t you just delete her?
Ella: I could have sworn her hair was short when I saw her last night. I’ve gotta show this to Rudolph.
Rhyan: Get out of my gym.
And then Rhyan saved a poor, defenseless pixel baby from a kitchen fire. I suppose his parents decided it was every man for himself.
Melisa: You’re so hot. I can’t believe I’m dating a world traveler.
Alonso: Sorry to barge in.
Diago: God dad, can you please throw away that ratty umbrella?
Melisa: Did you get hit by lightening or something?
Alonso: Forget the umbrella. Melisa, do you plan on going to university when you graduate?
Melisa: Oh yea. I think having a good education is extremely important
Diago: I also believe that university is super important! What a coincidence!
Alonso: *grumbles* Poser.
Melisa: What was that?
Alonso: Oh look at that, it stopped raining!
What a smooth talker.
Alonso: So as you have both heard, I’m now a doctor.
Diago: Yes dad, we know.
Alonso: I heard you’ve been having cold symptoms recently.
Melisa: Diago told you that?
Alonso: He pretty much only talks about you. All of the time. At least when he’s not talking about himself.
Diago: DAD.
Alonso: Anywho, I brought this pill home from work today for you to try. It’s a new drug I’m experimenting with.
Melisa: You want me to try an experimental drug?
Diago: Dad, seriously-
Melisa: Alright.
Diago: *sighs*
Melisa: *gulp*
Melisa: That was horrible.
Alonso: But…?
Melisa: But believe it or not, I’m feeling better already!
Diago: Alright, that’s all the ridiculous I can take for one day. Good night you two.
Melisa didn’t head home when Diago went to bed. Instead she took advantage of all of the nice things in the house. Like Rhyan’s home spa.
And Sheila.
Melisa: Hi cutie!
Sheila: Treats or get out of the kitchen.
It never gets old. I mean, Alonso does. But seeing the two of them together doesn’t.
On their walk I noticed this weird lot filled with a random assortment of items, including a dish washer? Is this the game trying to tell me something?
Diago: Yes. It’s ‘help I’m always glitchy’.
A cousin sighting? You guys know what that means. BIRTHDAY! I also find it hilarious that Alaric sent his teenage daughter to a party with his youngest kid. Poor girl can never catch a break.
Rhyan: I feel like I’m intruding on something.
Aren’t you always?
Melisa’s mom was invited too.
Alonso went over to schmooze the future in-laws.
Alonso: I would love to open my eyes and take in the beautiful view, but for some reason the overlord forgot to have me call into work today, so I am freaking out trying to get there. It’s a constant battle of canceling automated actions. It’s really getting to me.
Melisa’s Mom: …
What a great first interaction. It’s okay, she probably just thinks he has Alzheimer’s. It’s probably not unusual for doctors in this universe, since they can be hired without any medical practice at all anyways. What difference does it make if you have memory loss if you never learned anything?
Melisa: You know that you cant see fireworks in the daytime, right?
Diago: It’s my birthday, and I can set off fireworks in broad daylight if I want to.
And so he did.
Meanwhile, Remy’s daughter Trinity decided she was dying of a bad stomach ache in the middle of a party.
And her sister Christine was a glitching mess that I can’t seem to fix with anything.
The party was falling apart downstairs, but upstairs it was all hot dogs and happiness.
Alonso: Don’t worry civilians, a doctors is present.
And everyone cheered.
Trinity: Are you really a doctor uncle Alonso? I thought you we’re a cop?
Alonso: That was last week.
Alonso: Anyways, let me check your brain.
Trinity: It’s my stomach, not my head.
Alonso: Sadly, it looks like you only have a few days to live.
Trinity: š®
Alonso: Hah, just kidding. Take this.
Melisa’s mom seems to be seriously regretting allowing Melisa to go over to their house so often. I don’t blame her.
But Trinity did what the fake doctor said and all was well.
Even Christine suddenly fixed her own glitches and turned into the prettiest cousin so far this generation! And she inherited Harry’s weird hair.
But it seems things had taken a turn for the worst upstairs, as I was too distracted by the exciting things happening below, and Diago was aging up without his cake.
Melisa: Speaking of cake, are we going to have a big one at our wedding?
Melisa: Oh gross.
Too many hot dogs.
Diago: DAD! We need you upstairs now!
Aren’t you excited that your boyfriend is growing up?
Melisa: There’s too much happening right now. I’m overwhelmed.
Diago: She’s probably thinking about how hot I’m going to be.
Melisa: *having existential crisis about how one day we will all die*
Yep, that’s exactly what she’s thinking about.
Diago: What is she thinking now?
About how much cuter you would be with a mustache and glasses.
I think you look pretty good just like this. Diago rolled Adventurous as his fifth trait. How lucky.
Diago: The night is still young and I just remembered you’re supposed to be older than me and somehow you’re still a teen. Wanna go ahead and age up?
Melisa: No, I can’t. Sorry. Looks like my code is a little broken.
Diago: Then you should move in with us so the overlord can fix it.
Melisa: Sounds reasonable to me!
So Melisa moved in… from the “pet house”? It was a household filled with strays and wild horses. I guess it’s the household all of the unclaimed animals get placed in the game? I’m not sure how Melisa ended up there instead of with her family, but one can assume that is why her aging got messed up.
Melisa: I was raised by wild wolves. Literally.
You are the modern day Tarzan.
She was more than well past her expiration date (when it came to teenhood) so as soon as she got on the lot I aged her up.
And then… the family moved! Don’t worry, I brought all of the important people with us. Aka everyone except Elise who was living old and senile by herself with no family in Sunlit Tides. Even Melisa’s family made the trip. That’s her dad, Trenton, in the background.
Rhyan: Where the hell are we?? Where’s our house! Where did all of this green come from?
Diago: Mom, come back. *sighs*
Don’t worry, she’ll sniff her way back after a while.
Diago: So now that we’re here, I guess it’s time to honor my dad’s wishes and head out to university.
Melisa: Sorry to change the subject, but did they just let him keep the cruiser when he became a doctor?
Asking all of the important questions around here.
So off they went. And just to keep you in suspense, I’m not showing off the house. Actually, why lie. I didn’t finish decorating it. It still isn’t finished, actually.
Alonso: It’s a dream come true.
Only if they come back with degrees. Which might be harder than you’d think. No spoilers! Until next time!
