I turned out to be a natural talent at childcare and devoted all of my time to little Tycho. The baby was always clean and well-fed.



While that was all Pascal needed to accept the new roommate, Vidcund had more questions about where I came from and, most importantly, my uncanny ability to know at any time exactly what was going on anywhere in Strangetown.

“Oh, that’s pretty easy. My father’s a universal constant, so I kind of inherited some of it. I can even see other iterations of Strangetown, and boy, some of them can get really confusing.”

Vidcund was very impressed with this practical application of the multiverse theory. He was, however, incredibly disappointed to learn that the number of universes where he and Circe had a happy marriage and five children was close to zero.

To be honest, I had made the “close to” part up because Vidcund seemed so disappointed.



As a natural consequence of his own abduction, Vidcund soon started to show pregnancy symptoms.



He took a greater interest in Tycho’s development in order to prepare himself to raise his own child.



He was not prepared for twins. Fortunately, Jenny and P.T. were literally experts on handling those, so Orion and Andromeda Curious were in safe hands.

This did not stop Vidcund from shooting me a glare that said “You really could have warned me.”

Which I could have, but where was the fun in that?



Fortunately, the Curious family had always been good at adapting to quick expansions. Tycho entered school and the twins started to crawl through the house without any dangerous accidents.



Eventually they grew up too and everything was fine.



For a given definition of fine, I thought as I noticed the three striking up a friendship with the Beaker’s eldest daughter Inga and realized that Pascal and I still hadn’t told Vidcund about his other daughter.


Surprise twins!

The idea behind Nervous is that since Grim is a universal sim and present in every game, his descendants will inherit a bit of that power. Of course this Nervous is actually a perfectly normal sim with a perfectly normal father, but you can chalk that up to creative license. Also, Grim's genes are boring.

That said, I used the "What did you do with the Strangetown sims?" thread as a reference and Vid never ends up with Circe.
