The Search for John Gissing, 5.0

[hjsnapepm]

Phil: AHHHHHHHHH!!!


Phil: AHHHHHHHHH!!!


Phil: AHHHHHHHHH!!!


Phil: *SPLAT*


Phil: AND DON'T COME BACK!


Phil: Er, this doesn't look like Académie Le Tour...

And, indeed, it is not. Phil (with a good bit of help from Shelley) caught the attention of the infamous and woefully underused legacy spare Xenu Narrows. The alien had been observing Phil for quite some time and finally decided to strike, snatching the poor, unassuming heir from his cozy dorm, bringing us officially into the second half of the Gissing Legacy: The Search for John Gissing.
Why the name change? Way back when the first Legacy Writers Founder Challenge was starting up and I decided on a naming theme, I wanted to call this legacy The Search for John Gissing, after the film of the same name, but I, well... didn't. I don't know why. :( Anyway, the premise was that each generation would be named for characters in movies staring Alan Rickman. The Generation 10 heir would be John Gissing, Mr Rickman's character in the aforementioned film. Meaning I have to get a male baby in Gen 10, no matter how long it takes. This has been my plan anyway, but now seemed like the perfect spot to implement the name I wanted all along.
So, now that the overly long explanation is over with, let's check in with our mischievous alien abductor and see what sort of evil plot he is plotting.


OH MY GOSH, NO! HE'S GONNA EAT HIM!


Um... or not. :/ Some evil overlord you are. *humpf* The kitten has potential, though.


To make up for the sheer loneliness and isolation that comes with leaving all your friends and family on a different planet, I gave Phil a furry friend, too. This is Grigori (for Grigori Rasputin).


Gissing legacy shack Numero Dos.


Phil's job as a police officer on a nearly uninhabited planet can't be as dangerous as it would have been in serial killer infested Mead Valley.



Better to be safe than sorry, anyway. Xenu's contemporaries may not be nearly as cute and cuddly.


Phil: I don't feel so good...


Phil: BLERGH!1!!


Pop goes the Gissing!


Hello, nurse maid! *bows down to Katu's face replacements. RAWR.


Since the only walkbys seem to be teenage guys, we turn to the Matchmaker for help finding Phil's Twu Love.



If you remember from the last update, Phil has notoriously bad luck in the romance department. A change of scenery has apparently not helped him in the slightest. NEXT!


Phil: Um, could I possibly have someone who's not, you know, my grandma?

D: NEXT!NEXT!NEXT!


NEXT!


Phil: Wait! You're not that bad! I could deal with having red hair in the family for another three or four generations! Really!


Desperate times call for desperate measures, as they say. Unfortunately, Phil's measures are a bit too desperate for this girl.


*GASP* Could it be? A girl who doesn't make Phil all pukey?


One of his first successful romantic interactions is interrupted by the miracle of mpreg childbirth.


PhilThe Barchester Chronicles). He has Phil's brown eyes and Xenu's black hair and alien skintone.


And this... This is the Epic Nanny of Epicness, also known as Nymphadora Twonk. She is, by far, my favorite recipient of my Harry Potter name replacements.


Well... I could have lived without that.


That, too, but it's to be expected. I'm surprised there was only one Stink-o-Gram.


Grigori grows up to be Lassie while Phil booty calls Allyn, the blonde girl from before.


Success! (Pardon me while I geek out over the fact that the character Phil is named for is Phil Allen from Blow Dry and now I have a Phil and an Allyn. I'm amused by little things.)


Phil: Hold that thought.





Phil: OK, now we can do it.


I decided to play this as a quasi-ISBI from here on out to speed things up a bit. This isn't a good sign for things to come, is it?


Firewoman: Gee, ya think?

Oh, well... She can't possibly be as bad as Professor Modesty from my Green ISBI.


Though she is pregnant. Oh, joy.


Obi celebrates toddlerhood with a serenade of the stomach growls of his idiotic stepmother. He has Xenu's itty bitty nose. *pinches cheeks*


I'll leave you with a picture that illustrates how I left this play session. Allyn puking her guts out and Phil glitch-stuck in front of Obi's crib, where he stayed for a long, long time.

Next update, Obadiah joins in on the glitch parade and Allyn does indeed give Prof. Modesty a run for her money.
