Francis MMBC Epilogue: As One Door Closes, Another One Opens
Troye: [narrating] Several months after the MMBC ended, Chadrick and I were finally settled in Moonlight Falls, the place we were soon to call home. However, we were living in a small home as the funds were properly allocated for us from the TV studio.
Troye: I also visit the “Francis Memorial Gardens” frequently; it’s where the graves are stored. The locals say it’s odd the ghosts don’t come back to haunt, and I have to agree. What I would give to properly say goodbye to the contestants, and Seth.
Troye: The house was supposed to be moved with us, but paperwork and legal issues got in the way. Once it can be properly moved, then the graves will be moved back. But for now, this is all they have.
Troye: [narrating] Things seemed to be finally warming up with Chadrick and I, which was nice. Sleeping in separate rooms was lonely, and felt a lot like… well… you know… Nevermind that. That catches us up to the present day.
--------------------------------
Chadrick: Hey Troye?
Troye: Yes, Chadrick?
Chadrick: There’s something I need to tell you, but you might hate me.
Troye: You know you can tell me anything, now spill it.
Troye: What the [bleep] did you just say!? I’m sure I heard you wrong.
Chadrick: How could I be wrong when I’m telling you I was the Francis MMBC killer?
Troye: You’re [bleep]ing kidding.
Chadrick: No, I’m not! It all started with Joey Strauss. Truthfully, her death was accidental. I didn’t want to be the Francis killer! It just sort of… happened. We were shaking the machine, and it did fall on her.
Chadrick: [narrating] Radley’s was the first I did purposefully. That didn’t quite give the rush I wanted, so I thought I would quit.
Chadrick: However, when I saw Annalise that one night… I knew what I had to do. She would’ve ratted me out if given the chance. That’s when things got personal.
Chadrick: [narrating] Next was Claude. After three deaths, you would have thought they would be suspicious of the brooding vampire roaming the halls at night. Luckily, they fell easily into my trap.
Chadrick: [narrating] That brings me to the first double murder. Lily was right about me. I’m surprised she went outside, albeit it was hesitantly.
Chadrick: Emma’s death was collateral. She just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Chadrick: [narrating] But by the time I got to Remy’s murder, I was feeling guilty again. That it was hurting you as much, if not worse, as it was hurting me. That was going to be the final one, and I was going to confess.
Chadrick: Though you know why I went through with the next ones? Cathy. She’s the real reason this didn’t stop sooner. Cathy wanted an MMBC, for the “ratings” , and forced me to kill the next two (those were the only two she had any influence over). She had told me that night our phones that she collected worked perfectly fine. You probably saw that when you called the authorities that fateful day. If Cathy had her own BC, I wouldn’t have been surprised if it turned into a MMBC reminiscent to the Limerence MMBC. Cathy was about as wretched as Amelia Ruth. It’s a damn shame I couldn’t have killed her too. Wherever Amelia Ruth is, I bet they would’ve bonded quite well with Cathy.
Chadrick: [narrating] That brings me to the final two deaths of the Francis MMBC. I had to kill Ethan at that point, you trusted him too much. If I had gone after Finley, and left Ethan alive, there wouldn’t have been anyway you could find yourself to trust me.
Chadrick: Seth’s death… scarred me more than the others. He just stared, knowing I wasn’t going to let him off the hook. I can still hear his pleas of how he could help, and to not kill him. It was like shooting a puppy, with every ounce of pain that comes with it.
Troye: I… I need some air
Troye: [to themself] He killed them.
Troye: [to themself] But he did it for me.
Troye: …
[ ♫ He is a hustler, he’s no good at all
He is a loser, he’s a bum, bum, bum, bum
He lies, he bluffs, he’s unreliable
He is a sucker with a gun, gun, gun, gun ]
[ ♫I know you told me I should stay away
I know you said he’s just a dog astray
He is a bad boy with a tainted heart
And even I know this ain’t smart ]
[ ♫ But mama I’m in love with a criminal
And this type of love isn’t rational, it’s physical
Mama please don’t cry, I will be alright
All reason aside I just can’t deny, love the guy ]

Can I start out by saying I knew the Francis killer was going to win? This was not rigged in anyway whatsoever, it was just that gut feeling. Anyways, this was a fun time! Not sure if winter break and December went by so fast because I wanted to play and finish this or not; it was still a great time.
Next, thanks to @socialjusticesimblr for creating this challenge! I had a great time with it, especially this finale. Developing the characters has been fun, but I wish I did more for some of them.
I’d like to move on and thank all of you who submitted sims! I offer 8 of the 10 of you condolences. I offer @halfmoonsims hopes that Finley will get parole, and my deepest condolences to @mercurypixels for Ethan being the last of the dead, and for the starvation ghost glitch. Obviously, there isn’t a gunshot wound ghost; it’s just faux starvation with the causality shader applied. I tried to fix Seth the first time it happened, but since I’m not knowledgeable enough to shade it, we ended up with super skinny Seth and Ethan because I edited Seth while he was pleading with Grim, and I lost his grave. Again, I’m sorry, I should’ve contacted someone who is well versed in that kind of thing, but I didn’t want to spoil anything.
Congrats to @teekapoa and Chadrick for the victory! Albeit, it’s unconventional, but hey, he won.
Explanation Section
Question: So why did Troye choose Chadrick over Finley, if Chadrick received more votes against him than Finley?
Answer: The Rules. Despite the fact Chadrick was guilty by the voting numbers alone, the altercation that he and Finley got into meant Troye wasn’t sure who was the killer.They had to go with whom they trusted more, per the rules. Although he didn’t see it, Cathy recapped it to them. Either way, with guns out and pointed, Troye had to go with whom they trusted.
Further Explanation (as written by a more clear-headed Jack when this backup was posted - 5/14/19): When I first played this, I didn't properly play out the poll results. What should have happened was Troye giving Chadrick negative interactions and Finely positive ones based upon the results of the poll, thereby lowering Chadrick's score while boosting Finley's. This means that Chadrick should have lost Francis MMBC, not win it. It was the flub of the century I admit, but I rolled with this mistake (as evidenced by the storyline of the next two MMBCs). Story-wise justification was a certain someone "tampered" with the polls and rigged it in Chadrick's favor.
Relationship Scores at Troye’s Decision:
Chadrick: 22.27*
Finley: 8.47*
*They hadn’t changed by the time I went in, and using Clover’s method, they would have been reset to such (although they were already here). Either way, it wouldn’t have affected this outcome.
Maybes next!

Francis Maybe Babies with Ethan Hendriks (@mercurypixels)
On the left we have Michael Francis in the violet, and on the right we have Stella Hendrikds in the green. Both, although Ethan is human, are fairies!
Custom Content & EPs:
No CC used on these two. Only other expansion other than the base game used are Ambitions (Stella’s Hair) and Generations (Clothing, perhaps Michael’s hair).
Terms of Use:
They’re maybe babies! I guess besides changing genetics, feel free to alter clothing and traits as the heart delights. But if you want to know what they have beforehand, I’ll put in a text file with the download so you can make the call for yourself.

On the left we have Kyle Francis in the white and on the left is Marilyn Kang in the spice brown. Neither inherited Troye’s powers.
Custom Content & EPs:
CC on Kyle. Included in the .zip are two files, since I can never remember the hair. Whoops. But it looks good on Kyle.
Expansions other than Base Game: None!
