Liddell Family, Friday, Week 2
I'm back! And it's time to grow up some babies! Into toddlers.
Seems a lateral move.
Henry: I have made a beautiful invisible potholder!
I've always wondered why the sewing machine doesn't have the product appear on the bench like all the other crafting stuff. Probably because there's no way a curtain could fit on there.
Gender stereotypes are NOT alive and kicking in the Liddell household. Appropriate for an (arguably) action/fighting game with a female protagonist.
Wow, it's honestly been a while since I had multiple pieces of plumbing break on me! I did not miss it at ALL.
It's a good thing Lorina's One True Hobby is Tinkering, isn't it?
Lorina: *grumble* Fix the plumbing, clean up the puddles, clean up the plates, throw away the bottles, throw away the newspapers, and NOW clean the litter box? I WANT A MAID.
You can't afford a maid, so GET CRACKING.
Lorina: The bloody cat doesn't even USE the litter box!
Probably because it was dirty.
Lorina: It's not dirty NOW!
Cat doesn't know that. Now mop up the puddle.
Lorina: I hate my life.
Carey: Hey, Alice, wait up! Us red-heads gotta stick together!
Alice: Not with your facial hair they don't.
Carey: Painting is awesome!
Alice: I agree, although my skill at it kind of depends on the game. . .
American McGee has said that your lousy art skills in "Alice: Madness Returns" were a result of the Insane Children hijacking them. You're safe here.
Alice: Yes, good kitty, we do keep ourselves neat and clean! Which is, uh, something you should really have filled from the start, seeing as you're a cat. . .
Cat teaser -- more fun than having Carey Garfunkle over.
Uh -- Alice, are you trying to make a troll face while cuddling Dinah?
To be fair, one could make a horrible macro out of it regarding Dinah's supposed role in the fire. . .
Henry: I'm home! I'm promoted! I made 10 grand!
High School Teacher isn't much of a promotion, and making $10,000 is easy in this game, what with its ridiculous salaries.
Lorina: I spoke too soon. NOW I hate my life.
I hate your life too.
FOR THE LOVE OF EVERY GOD, STOP SNOWING. IT'S SPRING. IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE GETTING WARM.
Lorina: After all the trouble I went to to fix the shower, you go ahead and buy a new one?!
Hey, between Henry's bonus and Cheshire getting a lucky chance card, you could afford it! Besides, I checked -- it took you LESS time to fix the shower than it did to fix the SINK.
Ah yes, and the main point of this update arrives -- birthdays! The little pop-up said that they still had a day to go, but screw that. I need to be able to control these little bastards.
Alice & Cheshire: WOOOO HAPPY BIRTHDAY EDWARD
Alice: And I'd better get some cake out of this!
Actually, I believe that's your old cake, so. . .
Despite everyone cheering for Edward, Arthur decides he has to be grown up first.
Although he kindly waits to actually age until Edward's candles are out.
And here is Arthur! Who -- is kind of an ugly toddler. Maybe it's the hair. Anyway, stats!
Arthur Liddell:
Personality: 3 Sloppy, 9 Outgoing, 9 Active, 10 Playful, 4 Grouchy
Zodiac Sign: Sagittarius
Primary/Secondary Aspiration: Grow-Up
Lifetime Want: Not Applicable
Turn-Ons/Turn-Off: Not Applicable
OTH: Fitness
Career: None
And here's Edward! Who has somewhat-squinty eyes, but a much better hairstyle and clothing set. His stats:
Edward Liddell:
Personality: 3 Sloppy, 7 Outgoing, 6 Active, 3 Serious, 6 Nice
Zodiac Sign: Aries
Primary/Secondary Aspiration: Grow-Up
Lifetime Want: Not Applicable
Turn-Ons/Turn-Off: Not Applicable
OTH: Music & Dance
Career: None
Interesting -- the one in Daddy's arms is the one who takes the most after Daddy. *looks at Henry's stats* Actually, he appears to be exactly the same as Henry. I sense encouragement from Lorina in the future for a bit of variety.
Alice & Cheshire: OH HEY YEAH TWINS ITS YOUR BIRTHDAY TOO HAPPY BIRTHDAY ARTHUR
Arthur: Too little too late.
While the older members of the family feast on cake, the younger ones are reduced to stealing the cat's food.
Lorina: Do you think one day I could be a gourmet cook, dear?
Arthur: Depends. Can you do tuna and liver better than Fancy Feast?
Fortunately Alice is on-hand to give these kids more appropriate nutrition.
Arthur: But tuna and liver!
You will suck down smartmilk AND YOU WILL LIKE IT.
Alice makes an attempt at potty-training Arthur while Edward discovers his love of Music & Dance. Come on, work those skills!
Cheshire: Yes! I will never be pulled into doing diaper duty with one of them, at least!
Huh. I could have sworn Edward was supposed to be the unfavorite in earlier posts. . .

Ah well, the family has a heart big enough for two. If not a house. Or an appropriate sleep schedule.
Dear God, WHY did I think giving Alice a sibling was a good idea again?!
Well, that's all from this household. Up next, the blessed quiet of the Garfunkles. Ahhhh. . .
