Welcome to Beryl's Place. Beryl will still have to live under the hardships of the apocalypse for the most part, but I'm willing to make a few exceptions for spares once they move out. Unlimited access to Elixer of Life, smaller lot size, and those ladders that I felt would be an unfair advantage in the main home since sims go up them in a split second and they take up so much less space. For those interested in that sort of thing, this house has 50 interior squares per level, but it makes up for those 6 squares by ease of travel. If I think of any other exceptions I'll let you know. At the moment Beryl's home is completely unfurnished except for a phone. There's not even any paint in the interior. But I'm sure she'll help me remedy that. As you can see, Beryl didn't want to move too far from the family, she just wanted space for her own.
"Is it just me or is it Monday again? I thought it was Tuesday, you know, the day I could call Rodney?"Yes, it's Monday again, it's an oddity of the sim world. Don't worry, you'll see Rodney tomorrow.
"Lorin? Rowan mentioned that you were moving into town. It's a pleasure to meet you.""Likewise, I don't know anybody here, even the other simselves haven't stopped by to say hello and get reaquainted."
"Beryl? I don't want to sound like a pest when we've just met, but isn't that Mr.Humble's computer, and a bug collection?""Yes, but I'm a spare, so Rowan's loosened the rules for me a bit."
"Oh, I thought you might be the heiress."
"Nope, not enough votes for me, although I still got more than Bay!"
As you can see, Beryl's got a nice setup downstairs now, with tons of room to spare.
After spending the afternoon with Lorin having snowball fights and hot chocolate Beryl returned to her writing. She's quite dedicated to it as you can see by the stink cloud surrounding her.Day 79 - Tuesday (Winter)
Cripes! Your not kidding about wanting your own kids are you?"Nope! And today's the day I get married and start working on those kids!"
By the time noon rolled around Rodney wasn't home, so with nothing better to do, it was time to work on the car a little.
"Nothing better to do? It's Tuesday you lunatic!"Okay, so there were more important things to do, but you had fun, right?
"I missed you so much Rodney!""Really? 'Cause I couldn't tell, maybe you should kiss me again!"
"Beryl, will you be my wife?" "Of course I will, that's all I've ever wanted, I'll even take your name!"
"Here you go friend I brought with me that I've never met before. It's full of all the inventory items I had that are banned at the moment."
Rodney Jung: Fortune, Become Chief of Staff, Gemini, +Underwear/Great Cook, -Custom HairThe rest of the night was spent getting Rodney's motives up and then with him playing chess with Vyn while Beryl went to work. Rodney is not well employed and isn't even in his dream career track so she'll have to keep her job for now. No opening on the computer in Medical either.
Day 80 - Wednesday (Winter)
"Yes! With this I can fulfill my dreams of children of my own!" 
"Bay! What are you doing here?""I lifted Gamer! After that, well, I thought with all you had done for the family and all... Well, I came so I can help you raise your kids the way you helped Bella."
"But don't you want kids of your own?"
"Not really, I'm perfectly happy as I am. I've never even spun up the want to flirt. I enjoyed helping Bella with the kids, and I'm sure I'll enjoy helping you with yours. So, can I stay?"
"Of course you can! The fourth floor is all yours!"
"It's empty!""Oh. Hey! At least this means I can do what I like with it! Let's see what we can get done before I have to go to work."
That's the spirit.
"That's more like it!" 
Working on the car again Beryl?"No, I'm taking it apart! Here's your sign."
Okay, so the question was 'Here's Your Sign' worthy, but your comeback was not.
Well that's a no brainer since it's oddly familiar. ;)
"Maybe I can do better than Skylar and actually restore bathtubs."I don't think so, but you're welcome to try.
"So dear, I'm home, your home...""Babies?"
"Well, I was thinking woohoo, but babies too."
It took three tries, which made Rodney quite happy.
Day 81 - Thursday (Winter)
"It's so quiet."Too quiet?
"Maybe. I'm not used to being in an empty house. It's kinda creepy."
"Beryl, I'm home!! With a promotion!! I gotta leave again in five hours." 
Wouldn't you rather be upstairs playing Sims 3?"Bay can't be doing this in her condition."
She's not even showing yet.
"I know that, but her needs are dropping fast anyway."
"Yay me! I got one of the less ugly maternity outfits!"You do realize that your bra is showing right?
Day 82 - Friday (Winter)
Poor Rodney. All he wants is to buy stuff that's illegal. I'm hoping that having him write a novel may encourage him to redirect his wants towards gaining creativity or writing a bestseller.Day 83 - Saturday (Winter)
"I was sure that I didn't finish the body work on this yesterday..."You didn't. Beryl snuck down here while you were sleeping and finished it.
"She shouldn't push so hard when she's expecting, she could hurt herself or worse, the baby."
Wow Bay! That was fast. Wasn't it supposed to be orange?"The can said Orange."
Hmm, ok, I like this better than the picture on the can anyway.
Bay had the forsight to invite the entire family over for a visit. She had a feeling that Beryl made need Bella's experience during the actual birthing of her first child. Besides, they all need a break from skilling and the only way it's going to happen is if they're visiting here.
"Yay! Aunt Beryl made grilled cheese! Best Aunt Ever!"Actually, I think that award should probably go to Bay.
"Got some spare simoleans? Anyone? Just a couple of spare simoleans to help a guy down on his luck?"Poor Rodney, his novel did horrible. Doesn't matter that the family has tons of money, just that he didn't earn it.
"I'm so happy for you Beryl!""Bella!!! It hurts!!!"
"Of course it does, did you think I screamed just for fun?"
Welcome Cassia Jung!
"Yay Beryl! Congratulations!"(everyone)
"I know it's a bit soon to ask you to start your Aunt duties Bay, and I really enjoyed having the family here, but I'm exhausted."
"I have a daughter... and she helped me get a promotion... zzzz...."Day 84 - Sunday (Winter)
"Good morning Mommy's Little Angel!" 
No fair Bay! I should be playing it! Darn delays for marketing! Bah! If people weren't already planning on buying it, four more months of marketing (of which I have seen none) won't make a difference.
"Super Mom coming through."Hey Super Mom, your sister just rushed upstairs to change Cassia.
"Hello Cassia, I'm your daddy."Ok, you saw the baby, now get back to studying before I find you outside panhandling again.
The timing of cooking meals separately could not have been more perfect if I tried!
Say Goodnight Rodney."G'night."
