The R&R Legacy: Chapter 25: Sibling Rivalry

Plasma fruit pancakes to help adjust to life with limited food choices. Gee thanks, Mom.

Arthur likes washing his hands. Oooh, the bubbles.
He's not neurotic like his grandmother, but he is neat.

A view. Beyond the two Archer households is the river, and then part of the town. Up on that hill is the Remington... err, Jones place. It's empty, though town rumor is that Kenji willed it to Rickie.

Jazz tries to catch a beetle that looks like his shoes, but it bites him and escapes.

Sacha and Jazz still take the time to visit beautiful places in Riverview, as they did when they were teens. Only now, they must do so at night.

Zoya, Hans, and their only child, Cody. Sacha keeps in touch with them through Hans, whom she beat out for a promotion recently. Judging by the hat, Cody wants to be like his dad. He has orange eyes.

Sacha adds a deck to the back of the house for Randy's experiments.

Two toddlers = twice the fun.

Arthur and Randy play tag. What could go wrong?

Jazz somehow obtains large shipments of space rocks to break. He has a grand experiment in mind that requires rainbow gems.

Randy worries Jazz will hurt his hand.

Another pic of the nursery leading to the balcony, with the paintings of adult Leona and child Sacha. I can't get enough of this gaudy decor. I can't stop taking pictures.

A view of the family graveyard from behind.

Never an inappropriate time to contemplate death. Jazz's transition from young adult to mature adult has made Sacha fear for his life. Unfortunately for her, he refuses to be "turned." This has caused some friction in their relationship, but they're far too in love to ever argue for long... especially with so many family members around the corners to overhear.

Drumheller follows Arthur home from school.

"Yo, is that seriously a painting of you, Art? And I thought my house was crazy."

It's true, Randy portrayed toddler Arthur as some sort of demon. But the real question is, why did Sacha hang that monstrosity in the kitchen?

Another wily game of chase. Arthur pauses to contemplate his surroundings.

What happens when a party animal doesn't get to regularly visit clubs or crash parties? Living room dancing.

Jazz and Sacha have agreed to have absolutely NO STRANGERS in the house, not even babysitters, and with Randy so old and likely to keel over they just can't ever get out at the same time anymore.

An embarrassing age-up for Marty.

One haircut later...

Martin is also a party animal.

The laundry room wallpaper has changed, and naturally Sacha's choices are just as deranged as her grandparents'.

Marty is caught baking a muffin for breakfast before school, and then eating it. Some kids are too industrious to simply pull cereal or toast out of the fridge.

He's been hanging out with those Newbie kids again...

Sacha's legendary falafel-cooking technique.

Arthur (neat, disciplined, perfectionist) and Martin (party animal, artistic, genius) do not always play well together. Arthur is jealous and resentful of his brother's recognized genius. But when they do play together, trouble ensues. Marty is the gullible sort; Arthur can get his "genius" little brother into all manner of trouble.

Improper use of the toy oven! IMPROPER!

Some fighting....

"You put a bug in my favorite meal!"

Goopy carbonara. At least the little genius is easy to please.

"It was for science! You don't respect science! You're a crap genius!"

"And that time you put on Aunt Halen's makeup was really weird and really gay."

Sacha and Jazz have expanded the house, adding a basement under the basement for Arthur's bedroom. Also, a bathroom so he doesn't have to climb two flights of stairs to pee.

Marty is fine with his mother's old bedroom. His only request was to switch out pink wall-paint for this nice shade of blue. ...Which is lighter than it looks here. Improper lighting has plagued my game.
