And together, the twins called down the fire.
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51985579622_723954384e_b.jpgAfter playing the Song of Sophistication, Dylan played the Etude of Egress. The mortals would not hide inside the bar! >:)
Strangely, Makoa didn't seem affected by the songs.
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51986875479_2fbb8d5c7e_b.jpgSome townie's panicked when lighting struck the ground right next to them. The storm affected the entire island, the entire neighborhood. Lightning struck everywhere on the lot and beyond.
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51985579547_fce3791c5e_b.jpgWhile Dylan prepared another Piper Song, Zeph was trying to persuade a townie to streak in the storm. The townie wouldn't do it.
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51985579527_86817b112b_b.jpgZeph: "I had no idea that streaking in a thunderstorm was a bad idea?" (He totally knew what he was trying to do.)
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51986584536_f42c7eeb39_b.jpgSo, the townie became their target for Zeph's Drowning Experiment. The Hypothesis: Can townie's drown with neighborhood stories active? As a genius, it was only natural to experiment. Dylan sang Agean's Question, and the Experiment was about to begin.
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51986647363_6f99f2634a_c.jpgDylan also had his own target for the Siren's Call.
Zeph: "Don't play with junk food."
(The Siren's Call depletes all of a sims needs and refills all the needs of a mermaid or merman. This means that everything from Bladder Failure to Starvation to Energy Failure while swimming can happen. And yet, unplayed sims can swim to the shore without drowning with energy, hunger, and bladder at a critical low.)
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51986647348_e1a2618612_b.jpgLike a more powerful marine vampire, Dylan drained the townie of everything and replenished all his needs.
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51987140405_5269be4997_b.jpgNext, Zeph called the other human to the sea. Like the thunderstorm that rages across them island, the irresistible call to the sea could be heard across the island. It took the human a bit to swim to their doom.
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51985578632_c6f7ea59bb_b.jpgThe Siren's Call was fun for the twins but miserable for their prey.
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51987140375_8180e31001_b.jpgDylan's Prey was smart and swam away. Zeph's Prey stayed to chat with the mermen. Apparently, nearly drowning was kinda neat.
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51986583531_5ce5b778da_b.jpgWhen the storm started to clear, Zeph's prey saw hope for survival. Zeph kept him in the water with his own Agean's Question. Hours ticked by, and the human that had ALL his needs depleted would not drown.
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51987140360_cfcd30f9bc_c.jpgEventually, Zeph's Prey did try to leave, but that's when Zeph sang his Siren's Call. His prey wouldn't escape.

https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51987140315_d5dcb5d692_b.jpgZeph: "I bet you thought this was game. There is no reset button."
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51986583476_6412c38316_b.jpgZeph continued to sing Siren' Lullabies and kept the townie in the water for almost the entire day. Dylan called another thunderstorm. The townie still wouldn't drown.
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51987140285_68f4b4e25f_b.jpgEventually, Zeph got bored with his prey and let him escape.
Zeph's Prey: "Crikey, I just nearly died because of a merman!"
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51986874379_3eaea3d311_b.jpgDuring the thunderstorm, it was family day. Duane Kealoha thought it would be a good idea to swing. A little storm chaser in the making.
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51987140205_d16d5be4b4_c.jpgMetior Ice: "Uh, there's not exactly sun for tanning... How can you be relaxing on Beach Towels?"
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51987140195_e7a7562b37_b.jpgMetior Ice: "This isn't exactly the time or place for homework Tane."
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51986583451_2464c1ebc2_b.jpgAnd then, the first sim got struck by lightning miles from the sand bar.
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51987140175_618fa0437d_h.jpgAfter some mermadic chaos, the twins performed the Ghastly ritual and took their elemental forms.
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51986875344_99ffbfe414_b.jpgZeph tried to scare a townie, but the townie ended up having fun as he flew threw her.

Dylan called another thunderstorm.
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51985578392_77321c19af_h.jpgWhile the humans survived, the furniture was not as lucky.
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51986875284_eba3093dd8_z.jpgMount Mua Pel'Am erupted, and the lot grew crowded with molten boulders.
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51985579292_9482d1e8ab_b.jpgUnafraid of the elements, Dylan and Zeph made a sandcastle in the thunderstorm.
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51985579262_95b0a8250c_b.jpgFor Zeph, the Rain and Lightning was good fun!
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51986584286_fcbecbac49_b.jpgAnd then, after going for a swim, he got struck by lightning.
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51986874249_51c77c91f4_h.jpgAnd, another human got struck...
Bartender's thoughts: "Why am I working while Elementals are letting loose their power over nature?"
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51985579232_c73be4d5a5_b.jpgThe lightning did leave some precious metals and crystals behind.
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51986875104_62936e004f_c.jpgEruptions created fissures in the shore and more smoldering rocks steamed in the rain.
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51986583311_3b2588d410_b.jpgAnd, that's when the Watcher removed the roof. I made sure to keep some of the roof above the bartender. They are doing their job and didn't need to get a harder time because of it.
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51987140940_6e2d4e2d18_b.jpgDylan and Zeph were casually chatting when the lightning struck the wall stereo.
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51986875074_bce84677d0_b.jpgAt this point, the lot was starting to glitch, and the Bartender walked into the corner of the wall until they passed through it.
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51986875054_010a62282a_b.jpgAnd finally, the other Elementals came to join in the fun!
Juniper announced his arrival by summoning fire from the sky!

https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51986875024_6e048d7de5_b.jpgMetior Ice: "Jade, what did you do while I wasn't looking?!"
(Fun Fact: Vampires can be outside during the day if it's raining.)
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51986875004_ed84253cac_b.jpgEmber lit the furniture on fire. She's such a pyro maniac.
