Lot: Capehart.2 Visionary Villa - Lillith, Manuel, Tanu, Valentine, Violet, Capable the Servo, and Narcissus

Last Visit: Hello Generation Five!


Weelll...howdy ya'llses. Ah'm Valentine Capehart, an' this chere's mah wonderful family in Prosperity Falls. Much has happened since Ah last spoke with you. Oh honey, here's some mint julep. Please have some, won't you? Delicately takes a sip herself. Now. So much has happened! Yes indeedy! Let me git you caught up on it all.

*Dramatically swiping back of her hand across her forehead, she whispers:* You jest won't belive it. Ah didn't. Why, it has been snowing here, in the South! But first, the leaves fell from the trees, in a real dramatic way, Ah maght add. Our gardener, that nice man named Leo would sweat his brow ever day cleanin' the lawn of the things.




Then it snowed! Well, Ah never. But that didn't really stop anything from happen'in 'round here. The first tre-mendous thing that happened was mah Tanu became a solid platinum Sim. Yes he did.




Thet is the most wonderful thing that can happen to a Sim. Well, it won't happen for me until my third born graduates from college. Oh speakin' of babes. I found Tanu and I were blessed with a little bun in the oven. Oh mah!




Ah love bein' in the family way, but Ah don't love the mornin' sickness that comes with it. It is so hard on a body, but once that little human bein' begins to grow and you can feel him or her movin' around in there, why honey, it is worth every trip to the ladie's room.




Me and Tanu's first born, Violet had a birthday as well, and mah goodness does that child love to dance. She says it is jest all the fun in the worl' to wiggle and jump to the music ever day after school.




Sometimes me and Tanu cain't hep ourselves, we join raght in with her. OH see that? Do you notice Ah am in a business suit? Ah rolled a big ol' want tuh teach school. So Ah did thet whilst Ah waited for my second little 'un to be born. Ah still have the flower shop. but Ah don't fahnd the pleasure in it Ah used to. Ah am thinkin' Ah might bequeath it to mah sister Veronica since she wants to own 5 top rated businesses.




Tanu has taken to playing with th' big black wolves that come 'round to the house. Ah don' see what he sees in them. But then again, Ah trust Tanu. He says every critter deserves to be paid some attention to, especially if they are homeless, lahk the wolves. Ah reckon thet is why he brought us two fish tanks fer the house too. The more the merrier, Ah say, even iffen they are tropical fish.




Capable has taken to fishin' the big lake behind the house, an' makin' some yummy meals fer us. He says Ah should eat lots of fish 'cause it is good brain food fer the baby.




Momma and daddy are as lovin' as ever. Momma still clings to her nocturnal ways, but it don't seem to bother daddy none. He is up all tahms of the night anyway dealin' with his age, and other family matters.




Those family matters bein' our little boy, Narcissus. Mah heavens, Ah was so glad to give Tanu a son. Looky there, he has the beautiful Capehart blue eyes he got from Tanu's sahd of the family. Ah have decided that Ah am namin' mah kids after flowers, an' Tanu doesn't seem to mahnd.




He started bondin' with his boy early on. It jest warms mah heart to see those two together! But honey, lemme tell you. He grew up awfully fast. Before Ah knew it, it was tahm fer his birthday, and Tanu was raght there with it fer him.




Boy was we all surprised when we saw the color of his hair! Snowy white, jest like a Narcissus! Ah hadn't named him at all, until he grew up. (Editor: He grew up in this white hair from Genesims. I decided to keep it. :) His Sim DNA states he is a blonde.)




Veronica and Vonfirmath came home from Uni to help us celebrate Narcissus's birthday. Daddy sure was glad to see 'em again, it had been a while since they had been home. They took a few minutes to sit in the hot tub, but mah goodness, they got awfully hot.




In fact, Veronica's skin burned a little bit, and she and Vonfirmath left the party early.




Well, Marsha came out to visit us. Manuel paid her no mahnd. She would just wonder around the house and spook the bed she used to sleep in. She didn't bother any of us, thank goodness.




Ah really do have to say something strange was going on, at any rate. The neighbor on the other sahd of Prosperity Falls from us, Xuan Robbins coninually walked bah our home at add tahms of the day and naght. Ah surely don't know what he is up to, but it did make me a maght nervous.




Well darlin', Ah did reach the top of my teachin' career, an' thet was thet. Me and Tanu found out we are expectin' again. More morning sickness for me. But thet is all raght. Our boy Narcissus is all growed up to child now, it will be nahce to have a baby in the house again.





Alien Chatter:

Xuan: Heeeey! There's something different going on here!

Jati: Xuan! You cannot!

Xuan: There is an empty womb here! The Vampire!

Jati: Xaun, she is our relation! The Vampiress Lillith Strickland-Capehart is our mother's sister!




Xuan: Jati, I do not know how I will be able to sire children if I cannot find available women! They have already filled their houses up with children, or they are related to me! What am I gonna do?

Jati: I am sure you will think of something Xuan. You HAVE TO.

Title: The Obits


Lot: Capehart.3 - Niles, Doris, Justice, Karin, Samantha the Servo, Lincoln, Lori, Betsy Ross and Clara Barton Strickland.

Last Visit: Karin's Take On Things

The Prosperity Falls Gazette, March 24, 2007
Obituaries

Niles Strickland, age 72.




Niles Strickland died peacefully in his home after a rousing game of chess with his grandson, Lincoln, who is named after a United States president.




He leaves behind his grieving wife, Mayor of Prosperity Falls, Doris Strickland.




"Naturally, I will miss Niles," says the mayor. "But I will not let that deter my duties to the good people of Prosperity Falls. It will be business as usual at City Hall."

Niles Strickland attended Prosperity Falls Non-Denominational Church, and was an inventor and an artist. In his lifetime, he contributed big simoleons to his wife's political campaigns that he earned through smoozing with Important People in Prosperity Falls, he built and activited 2 Servos, and fathered 4 children. He was grandfather to four children. Niles always supported the Mayor in all her endeavors and kept everything repaired around the house using his superior mechanical abilities.




It wasn't long ago that Niles lost his father, Chevy Strickland, and his mother Kirstee Strickland. Niles was a Family Sim like his parents, but never felt the need to have 13 children like they did. "Four is plenty for me," he was heard to delcare one time. He is survived by two sons Justice (who lives at home with is wife Karin), and Bubbs, (AKA Mr. Knowledge), then daughters Heather and Sarah who are currently attending Sim State University.




Niles was very exited when it was realized his daughter in law Karin was expecting a new baby. "It is much more fun being a grandparent than a parent," Niles quipped one day. "You can love the little tykes and spoil them all day long, then hand them back over to momma and daddy when they are getting fussy and the day is done."




Niles was always around when it came to celebrating brithdays. He was always more than happy to assist his grandchildren in blowing out the candles. Of course, he was always more than happy to assist in the cake eating too! Niles had to go on an exercise program because of all the birthday cakes.



Buff Elderly Niles Strickland



Niles was extremely proud of his grandchildren. "Children are like diamonds. They sparkle and are so shiny...but some of 'em never get out of the rough stages."

It was found that Niles's grandson Lincoln is NOT like the man he his named after. Lincoln has been known to 'kick a person' when they are down, and is a cheater at chess.

Lincoln snickers about his cleaverness


Lori The Good Little Helper

Niles was alway very proud of his family. "Everyone is an individual, and we all have to learn to get along. Whether somebody likes to play music all the time, paint pictures, or fiddle in the workshop. We are all different have something to contribute to life." he said.




When Niles' daughter in law gave birth to the new baby, it turned out to be (cheesecake) twins. (Editor - Karin ate cheesecake at the home of Kolton Strickland in round 14.) Twin girls named Clara Barton after the famous founder of the Red Cross, and Betsy Ross, the historical figure who stitched the first American flag. "I think my son Justice is going to name his children after famous historical figures," said Niles. "I guess it runs in the family. My father named all us kids after characters in the TV Show Fraiser."




Niles did live to see the first birthday of the new twin girls. "This isn't the first generation in this house that has seen twins," he said. "My mother in law Nichole had (natural) twin girls, Madalyn and Mackenzie right here. Now there have been three sets born."



Clara Barton Strickland

Clara Barton Strickland looks much like the Capehart side, without the skintones, and Betsy Ross Strickland looks much like her grandpa, Niles.



Betsy Ross Strickland



Niles was a strong famly man, a wonderful and entertaining husband, and a darn good Strickland. He will be missed.

In other Mayoral news, there was an attempted robbery at the home of the Mayor. Alexis Trimble walked onto the lot looking very sneaky, and was zapped by on of Niles Strickland's inventions, the Sentry Bot.






I don't know what the heck the little girl was doing at the home of the Mayor;" says the Mayor's son and Captain Hero Justice Strickland. "But what ever it was, the Sentry Bot did it's job and protected the Mayor. This is the first time in Prospeirty Falls history one of those machines has attacked a young child. Sadly, there will be an investigation."

No one at the Mayoral mansion was injured.





Alien Chatter:

Xuan: I don't see nothing here!

Jati: Come now Xuan. There is a womb here you could use. She is even an Anotothian!

Xuan: Jati! Her home is so crowded already, her womb is not open for business!

Jati: Alright. You are off the hook this time. I'll be keeping an eye on you, and keep up the reports to the King.

Xaun: Yeah, yeah yeah.

Jati: Keep looking!

Xuan: ALRIGHT!

Why Do I Need A Playmate?

Title: Why Do I Need a Playmate?


Lot: Capehart.1 - Tosca, Kelsey, Jodi-Ann, Marty, Jason, and Dog

Last Visit: It All Went To The Dogs


Hey, I am just a kid, but I can tell ya about my grandma, her name is Tosca. See, she is havin' trouble. *Jodi-Ann whispers something in Marty's ear* Huh? Ok. *sigh* My name is MARTY. I am 10 years old. Mom says it is my job to tell ya today about my grandma, Tosca McClelland. She is sad. See, my grandpa Johnson was eaten by a cowplant...somewhere....
and so grandma is sad. But she did some things to try and make herself happy. Like, getting a dog. Andy.




Yeah, that is Andy, an old stray dog that kept comin' around. Grandma would give him food and stuff and pet him alot. Finally dad built a dog house and put it in the corner of the yard, and grandma put out a dog bowl full of food. Andy just decided to move in. That is alright. He is an okay dog.




Grandma would go to the cemetary and visit grandpa. That is when she felt the saddest. One day she came back from the cemetary and told us that she had made arrangements to move grandpa's grave to our house and put him in the family graveyard out back.






The first day grandpa was home with us he came out to visit. So it is sorta like he never left. Grandma says he is much happier here at home with us rather than in the cemetary in the city where he didn't know anyone.




Oh lemme tell ya about dad. He is happier nowadays too. He said he got promoted to the top of his job. Man, do I have the coolest dad! He looks like a super-villian!!!




He stayed with that job for a while, then he got a job in adventure. Man! I can't wait to grow up so I can do cool stuff like dad.




Jodi-Ann gives Marty 'the look'. Uhhh. Okay. Mom and dad were gettin' along real good these days, I mean real good. Dad would pinch mom on the butt and stuff and she thought that was the greatest thing.

That was when mom started talkin' about 'Giving Marty someone to play with'. I guess that is when Mom got Jason.




Well, I had a birthday too, I really don't remember much about when I was a little kid and stuff. I guess after I grew up some mom started talkin' about a brother or sister for me. I guess dad was all for it.




I didn't feel lonely or anything, like I needed someone to play with. Andy was around to play with, and grandma too. So I really think Jason is here because mom wanted him.




Dad was real good about helping me learn stuff, said I would need to know all kinds of things about life. I did see my great grandpa Jayrus one night, the same way I saw grandpa Johnson. Dad says they come around to keep an eye on us and keep us safe. I feel better about that.




Another thing I don't understand, why we needed Jason. I have Birdie too that I play with. He is a really kewl bird. Talks to me and stuff. Why did I need a little brother?




Finally the day came when Jason was born. Grandma got jealous because she wanted to hold him right way, but mom said she was busy 'bonding' with him. Mom told grandma she would have to wait her turn to hold the new baby.




Me, I just went to school like usual. So what. There is a new baby in the house. He did nothing but cry and pee his pants. So where is this great "Playmate for Marty" mom keeps talkin' about? Huh? Jodi-Ann giggles.




Well, he is growing up some. He had a birthday. Dad helped him blow out the candles.




Mom said he was real cute, that he takes after the Strickland side of the family as far as looks go. She said he looks like grandpa Barry-James. Accept she doesn't know where he got his curly hair. I say he is a FREAK. Yeah. A freak of nature.

Well, maybe he will be alright to go out in the yard and play catch with and stuff. He has to grow up some before I will do that with him.




Maybe we can get Andy to stand up the the neighborhood cats. He just stands around and lets them eat his food. And stuff. Dumb dog.

Well, I guess that is all. I'm done. Jodi-Ann smiles and kisses Marty on the cheek. "Good job, Marty."

It's A Hot One Baby!

Title: It's A Hot One Baby!

Lot: Bostic 14 - Tomas, Roxanna, Scally, Karen, Florentilla, Claire, and dogs

Last Visit: Adopting Craziness

Scally and Karen last seen: University, Week 14





HiYa, it is me, Roxanna the Ex-Vampiress. Yup. I decided to turn away from the 'Dark Side' to which I was bought into against my own free will....and become normal. Why? Well, I had fun for a while being a Vampiress and all, but actually, having to sleep half my life away took alot from my quality of life. New things are happening and I want to be around for as much of it as possible. Like spending time with Karen. Yes, my son Scally's new wife. (Editor - see picture above.)

Scally and Karen came to live with Tomas and I. That is ok. This big house has lots of room. Scally took Karen shopping for a new wedding gown, and we had a rushed wedding right in the living room just a couple of days after they moved in.


WEDDING GUESTS




Father of the Groom


Mother of the Groom


Mother and Father of the Bride


Sisters of the Groom


Aunt To The Groom and cousin to the Bride


Cousin to the Bride


Cousin to the Bride


Uncle to the Bride, Second Cousin to the Groom












Oh well, like I was saying, alot of things had changed. Well, Tomas had retired from his job because he adopted the dogs Cleo and Moody, and of course Claire. He wanted to spend more time at home, to be with his family. So I just couldn't hardly spend his retirement years sleeping.

Then Scally came home from college with his new bride, Karen. I didn't wanna miss spending any time with my new daughter in law, and the grandchildren I see coming! Well, as far as births go, there were two at our house not to long ago. Cleo and Moody had two pups, a male and a female, Skippy and Anastasia. Tomas threw himself into training them, just like he did Cleo and Moody.




The pups were little adorable things...white fur. When they grew up, they both looked like a mixture of the best traits from Moody and Cleo. This is a picture of Anastasia. She is a bit of a Doofus and is hard to train. Always peeing in the house and such.




Here is Tomas working with Skippy. This dog is very excitable and is also very smart, almost a genius! I do find Anastasia endearing though. She is big and fat, with a beard and bushy eyebrows, and not a clue in life. I love her. Cleo did very well, she got to the top of her pet career in Service. She is very smart. Moody is struggling with his job in service though, he keeps getting demoted.




Ah well. Enough about Tomas and the dogs. He loves 'em and that is all that matters to me. I see how good he is with the dogs, makes me know how good he would be with the grand children. Well, the grandkids aren't here yet.

In fact, Karen and Scally seem to be havin' trouble conceivin'. Tain't from not trying though. Well, there was a little bit of trauma around here, almost lost Karen.

It was one of the first days of fall, and Tomas was out in the dog pen workin' with the dogs. Bein' that Karen had not yet been able to find a job, she decided to take it easy and taks a soak in the hot tub. When it happened.




Yep, the thing caught on fire. Our other son, Markey, was here visitin' at the time and was able to help put out the blaze. Claire actually whipped out the fire extinguisher. My goodness, but she is a quick one. She had a birthday right before Scally and Karen got married. I have her birthday picture here somewhere.








Tomas called the fire department, and Mitch came over and helped Claire finish the job. Thank goodness. We still have our Karen with us.

Oh, here it is. Claire's Birthday picture.



Claire Capehart
Aspiration - Fortune
LTW - To Earn $100,000

So there ya go. Both Claire and Florentilla have aspirations to be fortunate...to make lots of simoleons. Good riddance, I say!

Oh? Ok. I will tell you. Yeah. It happened the night that Scally and Karen got married. Havin' the wedding at night and all. Seems many in the Falls had been scheduling weddings around the Vampires lately. Scally and Karen had their wedding at night to accommodate me. Made me start thinkin'. What was all this business about being a vampire anyway? It was lots of trouble for my family. Them having to explain my strange pallor and hours to folks. Scheduling family events around my convenience.

I decided to end it, once and for all. And after all, how good would life be with out Tomas in it? Yes, I had stopped aging as well in my Vampiric form. I called her.




Her name was Rose Marie Phillips. I knew she could help me.




She sold me the goods. The price did not matter.




I did hesitate, but only for a moment.




I felt like I was turning wrong side out....but I was turning...turning...back to a life of normalcy. Tomas was on hand to witness the happy event. He was glad for me, for us. He immediately turned my crypt in the basement into a luxury bedroom for me and him.




I was glad to be mortal again. I loved having rosy cheeks. But, the next day I aged. Now I can enjoy the golden years with Tomas.




Well, those were the biggest things that happened at our house lately. Our numbers did lessen somewhat; the girls, Florentilla and Claire left for University.




Goodbye, Claire!




Goodbye, Florentilla!




And Martin Strickland came by and badgered Scally into selling Skippy to him. Seems Martin has a growing family as well, and wanted to get his kids a dog. I am glad Scally did not sell Anastasia.




In the meantime, I am waiting to become Grandma. Hm. Only time will tell.

The Capeharts, Week 15 / Remodling The Outside

Remodeling The Outside

Lot: The Capehart Homestead - Michelle, Jessie, Gertrude, JonLuc, Molly and Lovelle

Last Visit: The Kittens Continue

Hello. I am Gertrude, one of Chevy and Kirstee Strickland's girls. My parents passed away recently and I am feelin' a little down. Care to sit a few? I could really use an ear.




Hey, made some hot chocolate. Git yourself some, the cups are on the counter. Well I guess I don't have any excuse to feel low, even though mom and dad are gone. Life didn't owe them anything. They had a rich and full existence, gave to everyone who stepped across the threshold of thier door. Ah. Sometimes I wish I had that same feeling with Jessie, but it just isn't there. Jessie and I are a zero bolt couple.

Jessie tries hard enough for us. I guess the main difference between my marriage and mom and dad's is that...well...Jessie is a snow leopard, where I am not. When I first came here, we lived mostly outside and I thought that was really different. I liked it. To Jessie it was like coming home again. We graduated from Sim State, and he came home to normalcy for him. For me it was a whole new life, very different.




Jessie shut down Tryce Capehart's home business. Tryce is Jessie's dad, he is gone too. Buried on the mountain here on the property. See the building in the picture? It is the back side of the kitchen. Yeah. Something happened there. (Editor - The custom content the snowleopard liar was built from was not compatible with TheSims2 Expansion Pack Seasons.) Jessie and I decided to build a new home, and the home business just would not fit in with that.



Snowleopard lair right after installing Seasons


The new snowleopard liar using the new Seasons green house walls and roof.

The new house is nice, it makes both of us happy. I have a roof over my head, and that of my children, and Jessie has plantlife inside of the house that he so loves. We managed to build it around a huge tree, and of course, we have lots of plants inside. We built the deck right off the pond at the bottom of the mountian so Jessie can still admire it and fish in it, and I can relax in one of the deck chairs and enjoy the view.




Oh how Jessie loves to fish, and eat the fish! He has a silver badge in fishing. More power to him, I say. I am so glad he has found something to relax him. He is such a hard worker. He is now working as a celebrity lawyer.




My oh my. I never thought a snowleopard would ever get so corporate. Well, he became a lawyer after he reached his lifetime want of making 100,000 simoleons.




After that happened, Jessie got the job as a lawyer, then realized how human his existance was coming. That is when he started the fishing, and yes, gardening in the back yard. He has some tomato plants back there and an citrus tree. They are doing pretty well. He has also determined that he is going to start a string of business dealing with recreation and outdoor activities. He opened the first and only ice skating rink in Prosperity Falls. (Jessie's new LTW after reaching 100,000 simoleons is to own 5 top rated businesses).



The Ice Rink
Available for download.
All EP's required.

Isn't it a fine facility? Jessie has hired one employee. A retiree that makes good coffee working for Jessie as a barista. I can just imagine now Jessie having a big payroll in the future.

What about me and the kids? Ah. Funny you should ask. Our first one, Jon-Luc had a birthday, he is now in elementary school and rides the bus every day. He finally got an A on his report card. We were proud.




Yes, he is a good looking boy. Inherited his grandma's blonde hair. Michelle. Eh, she loves the deck chairs outside as much as I do, but she takes it a step further and sits out there no matter the weather. Even in the snow.




I don't see how she does it. There were two additions to the family, (cheesecake) twin girls, Molly and Lovelle.












They are fine girls. I am not sure, but I think I am pregnant again. (Editor - Risky woo-hoo premium...no chimes and no option of try for baby. Adds spark and interest to the challenge for me - ASimWen)

Did I tell you? We saw our first snow here in Prosperity Falls in decades, the weatherman says. We built a snowman in the back yard, and had a nice little visitor come to see him.




It was wonderful, almost as if the little penguin was actually talking to the snowman.

Well, I guess that is all the news. Perhaps I will feel better next week. I don't know if I feel so down because of things that are happening, or if it is hormonal. Only time well tell. Thanks for coming over. I really appreciate it.

ODD PICS OUT: (Lots of good ones this week)

The Robbins, Week 15 / Headquarters Moves

Headquarters Moves

Lot: Mission Control - Zaed, Synclare, Jati, Samarah, Brax, and Skyliana

Last Visit: The Next Generation Begins



*AHEM* I clear my throat. "Hi there".

Zaed looks down his nose at me, full of disdain. "YES?" Silence.

Me: Ummm...I am ASimWen.

Zaed: And that matters to me because....?

Me: I suppose it doesn't matter to you.

Zaed: I am glad we have an understanding. Now that you are in front of me, speak your peace.

Me: Well...I heard you lost your house.

Zaed: *THUNDERS* Not just my house! I lost the Headquarters for the Mission! The building the entire operation has been run from since my father Timo landed on this earth! Every brilliant decision was made in that building. It is gone....gone. But I am Zaed! I can build it again, from the ground up!

Me: Errr...Zaed. I am sorry to hear about your loss. Do you care to tell me about it?

Zaed: Why should that matter to you? And what do you know of the Mission?

Me: I know a little. Really. How the Anotothians want to spread their DNA all over earth and populate..yadda, yadda, yadda...

Zaed leans in closely, drops voice to a whisper If I tell you, you will not tell anyone? Especially the media?

Me: Youv'e got my word. Cross my heart, stick a pin in my eye.

Zaed looks at me like he doesn't have a clue. Alright. Even though you are a mere mortal, and a female at that, I will tell you.




It was like any other day. I was showing the females of the headquarters that I was in control. The Master of the Mission. I had just put new wallcoverings in the home to please my mortal wife, Synclare. She said she was bored with her surroundings.

Me: So you did something to please her.

Zaed: It was a small thing, and of no consquence.




My Synclare and I still make lots of woo-hoo. It seemed like it was on my mind all the time. And she was like minded. So, as a small gift of my affection for Syn, I wallpapered the Mission Headquarters for her.

Me: You are so sweet.

Zaed: *SILENCE* I have a human mother, you know.

Me: I know. The lovely Meadow Thayer, the heart throb of every Sim Boy's dream.

Zaed: I have her blood in my viens. Sometimes human traits come out of me. Like affection. *shakes head* On with the story.




It was my grandson's birthday. Brax. As you can see, Synclare and I just woo-hoo'd. We are in our underware. That is a common sight in any Anotothian's home.

Me: Birthdays, or walking around in underware?

Zaed: Both.




The boy grew up to toddler. He was a quick learner. Alas, he did not have pointed ears like mine, but the ears do stick out from the sides of his head somewhat. Perhaps our ears are evolving.



FUTURE MISSION COMMANDER


Yes, I believe we may be evolving. He has the Anotothian skintone. That is a plus. However, he has the eyes of the Bostics of Prosperity Falls. That was passed from my lovely wife Synclare.

Me: Enough genetics. How do you lose you home?

Zaed: *SIGHS* Well, I met this pretty kitty named Kobe.




Me: *blinking rapidly* Errr...I'm sorry? You met a pretty kitty?

Zaed: Who met a pretty kitty? I did not. *clears throat* Here is what happened. The leaves started falling from the trees. Then my house blew away.

Me: Really?

Zaed: Yes. We were homeless for a while. Fortunately the Robbinses have built up a massive fortune and I was able to find a fine building immediately and set up the office once again to make my reports to the king of Anatoth. Here is a photo of the new Mission Control building.




Me: I am dually impressed. My, the sky looks gray. Like it is about to begin raining.

Zaed: It did. Water fell from the sky. Every day! pfft. I built a building on the property to house all the skilling tools for future generations of Anotothains to use.

At any rate, this building has much room for us all. More room for more Anotothians to be born.

Me: You plan on more babies here? Yes, it looks like it might accomodate.

Zaed: Of course it will accomodate! My son Jati has already fathered two, and has a third on one the way! He is a multiplier!

Me: What about Xuan?

Zaed: DON'T GET ME STARTED. Xuan is naught but a boy in a man's body. He must have been a the end of the line when Anotothian thinking was passed out. I can only hope to see him procreate before I die so he can pass on his telepathic powers. I can only be mystified why he has this. He has it stronger than anyone in the family. The rest of us, it comes and goes. His is always turned on.

Hrumph! Well. After we moved into this new building, the leaves continued to fall. My son Jati made the decision to keep them off the earth in the hopes this new building wouldn't blow away as well.





Me: I think that will work. *snicker*

Zaed: With all this business of getting the Mission back under Control, we had to cancel our meeting.

Me: Meeting? Please elaborate.

Zaed: The meeting with Xuan. To see how many new fetuses he had started. Jati also wanted additional time to study the this phenomenon with the leaves and the rain.

Me: It is called weather. Seasons.

Zaed: *Appraises my statement carefully* What say you about Seasons?

Me: Seasons. There are four of them the earth endures due to rotation of it axis, the atmosphere....the sun....

Zaed: Aha! I have heard of this on The Weather Channel on that contraption my daughter in law Samarah bought. Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter. GAD....the water falling from the sky....the leaves detaching from the branches of the tree...it must be Autumn! AAahhhh! There is no such thing on Anatoth! This is new to me! That is all it is? WEATHER?

Me: That is all it is. Trust me.

Zaed: In this I will have to, for I have no better answer. So what of my home blowing away? What say you about that?

Me: Oh well....it is called a game crash.

Zaed: *Narrows eyes suspicously* A game crash? What is this crash?

Me: Well, after Seasons came to Prosperity Falls, your home was no longer available to visit. Crash.

Zaed: Again, woman, I will have to trust your word. Crash. But I can still see remnants of the old Mission Control building next door.

Me: That is because the graves of Timo and Meadow are still there. The ruins of the building will stay until I can figure out a way to move them here to your new headquarters since no one can currently move into the building to get them.

Zaed: Woman! Have you no sense? The Grim Reaper phone can be used to get them here! The very same phone my mother Meadow earned in the Paranormal field of work!

Me: Yes, I know. I am afraid to use it. I might get used to seeing Timo and Meadow again. They need to stay dead.

Zaed: That would only be one thing my father Timo could add to the notes in the computer. Coming back to life!

Me: *rolling eyes* Yeah....I suppose. So tell me. What has happened in the new Mission Control building since you moved in?

Zaed: My grandson Brax grew to child. A very smart child at that.




Me: He is very good looking. Like all you Robbins men.

Zaed: *Again, looks at me like he doesn't have a clue* He is Anotothian! That is all that matters. He will father many! I am grateful the first child of my son is a male to carry on!

Me: Are you telling me there is a girl around the Mission?

Zaed: Yes, her name is Skyliana.




Samarah gave birth to her shortly after we moved to the new building. Also, my son Jati also acheived the ultimate platinum response in his job field.




Now he can woo-hoo with Samarah tirelessly and make lots of Anotothian babies. Here is Skyliana's birthday picture to toddler.




Me: Always the proud grandpa, Zaed.




Zaed: Yes, well, quite. If you will excuse me now, it is time for me to rest. I really like this deck chair that came with this house. I sleep here alot.

Me: You go right ahead, Commander. Sleep tight. I will keep your secrets. And don't worry, I will work on the Timo/Meadow grave issue.

THE END
