Jasmine's outfit is the wildly colored thing from Nightlife. One of the raver outfits I think...wonder if I can get a picture somewhere... Yes, it's like Corey is a Peter Pan.
It's funny that I remember to take a picture of that outfit, but I can't remember to take a picture of the house...
Hey, whos the chica? Beats me, man. Hey, that guy kinda looks like that Alonso guy. Yeah, only cleaner. He looks like a Rico Suave. Whats with that other chica? Dang, shes a twiggy! Ill say. Check out the hat. Wild. Hehe, look at Rico jump in Twiggys arms. Aww, aint that sweet. Kinda looks like hes looking at thewait, isnt it that other chicks sister? Dang, who sends their kids here? Seems like were surrounded by all our cousins and neighbors. Crazy. Indeed. Hehe, look at that shaggy haired guy. Man, that must be one desperate shopkeeper to be chasing after that Jade clone down there. Ill say. I dont blame him though, that chicas hot. Whatever floats your boat. Hehe, coming from the guy that has the hots for my sister. Shut up, I havent made moves on her since she came here. Whats the matter, are you un pollo? What? Que? Dude, knock it off, you know my egg-span-nola is crap. Way to be part of la familia, man. *punches Jamies arm* Hey! *punches Enrique back*
Jasmine Cormier dreamed of living downtown and becoming an elusive woman about town. She dreamed of being the mistress to several suitors. She dreamed of partying every night in the nightclubs. She dreamed of coming home to a caring guy who shared her interests and settling down in the bedroom. However, those dreams were shattered the day she graduated from college and moved into a tiny house in downtown with that caring boyfriend she dreamed of coming home to. He was a slacker. Hey, so was she. Both of them had low paying jobs. Hey, that was alright. They lived in a tiny house. So what? They were going out on the town all the time, why would that matter? So they had a little too much woohoo when they moved in. Hey, stuff happens. Oh yeah, stuff happens. She became pregnant. Her parents wanted her married. They also wanted her home. She did not want to move back home. She thought she could handle the pregnancy on her own. She did. She did very well. Blake worked at a record store. They could live off of $200+ dollars a day. She could munch on salads and cereal throughout the day. She slept for most of it. It didnt seem like she was pregnant at all, it was so easy. Shed phone her father, reassuring him that everything was alright. She did not want to move back home, mainly because Bender had established a flower shop on the property and she did not want a part of it. She wanted to be a professional party guest. She wanted to go out with Blake every evening, and have time to themselves. The baby will be fine. The house was big enough for a baby. They could expand fairly easily once they racked in the money. Oh yeah, stuff happens. She had her twins right after Blake finally convinced her to get hitched. Alright, time to go home, Jasmine.
Yup, that is a truly ugly outfit. Do people wear stuff like that in RL? I've been noticing what people wear now (at malls and such) more than I used to, and I've seen a fair number of outfits like those in the game. Not this one yet, though. Maybe people on the East Coast are less adventurous. I'm really enjoying the conversations between your characters, Chee-Z. Hard for someone my age to follow, sometimes, but I get most of it and it's very funny. Like, DDL, I also thought that last episode with Jasmine was really good. Poor Jasmine! Twins. Heeeelp!! And LOL at that last picture. Two babies on the floor and then he marries her?
Poor Blake wanted to marry Jasmine, but the want popped up in her last trimester of pregnancy. He proposed to her and she went into labor! And I have no idea about that outfit, but again, I laughed my head off when I saw her move in with that thing on! I hope no one wears that for real!
Enrique Cormier finally had the guts to ask that hot chick out. Unfortunately, his results were not what he desired. “I like you, but not in that way,” said Lilly Barrett. “Oh…” Then a year later, when he was finishing his last semester of school, the funny looking guy with the shaggy hair, whose name was George McCarthy, proposed to Lilly. She said yes. Enrique shrugged it off. “She’s not really my type anyway.” “Sour grapes much?” Jamie poked his friend in the back. “Hey man, what’s up?” “Nothing much, man. How ‘bout you?” “Eh.” “Dude, if it’s about that girl…” “Nah I’m done with her.” “Alright then.” Jamie paused for a moment. “Um…I proposed to your sister.” “Oh? What’d she say?” “She said yes, of course.” “Ah great…great…” “You don’t seem so enthusiastic.” “I have girl troubles, man.” “You’ll find somebody, Enrique. Didn’t your dad meet your mom when he graduated from college?” “I just…didn’t realize it’d take so long. So many chicas out there and none of ‘em are for me.” “You’ll see, dude. Once you’re out of college, there’s a whole sea of ‘em. At least, that’s what I noticed when my dad was telling me stories of him going to night clubs to find a girl.” “He met your mom in a night club? Dude!” “Hey, she was different. She liked Dad for who he was.” Jamie did not see his dad as a robot. He saw him as a person: a really smart, successful person with shiny skin. “Hmm…I guess you got a point there, Jamie. Speaking of which, are you gonna move in with your parents?” “Nah, they got their hands full with Jasmine moving in.” “Oh…there goes your cushion.” “Yeah really. I do have enough money for a small house they just built, so I won’t be that far away. You going to move in with your folks?” “Yeah, they have plenty of room there.” “Sweet.” “Indeed.” “If you ever decide to move back in, you and Estrella, you can.” “Thanks dude.” “De nada.” “So…um…our finals are next week, aren’t they?” “Yup. You ready?” “Oh yeah.” "Hey guys? While you were standing there talking, I just put the maid out," Estrella was covered in ashe. "What?" "Yeah, some idiot went to class and left something on the grill. Now we have no grill and almost had a ghost." Second to last picture is "Twiggy" holding Santiago Cormier, Alonso's younger brother.
ROTFL, Chee-Z, I didn't know what Estrella meant about putting the maid out until I looked at the picture. I was thinking the maid had been fired (no pun intended .) BTW, I'm staying at my daughter's house this week and they have a roomer who's a state trooper. I overheard him and her husband talking. It was Dude this and Hey, Dude that in minimalist sentences with curiously long pauses in between. I thought of your story and held my book up in front of my face so that they wouldn't see me grinning. I'm not accustomed to what I had assumed was a college age, twenty-something form of conversation. My SIL and the trooper, however, are long out of college.
Estrella Cormier moved in with Jamie the day she graduated from college. The house her fianc was small and quaint. It had all the necessities, even if they were cheap plastic chairs and card tables. She could see that Jamie had a warped understanding of what was a want and what was a need when she noticed the expensive paintings on the walls, the expensive computer on a second card table, and the expensive double bed in their master suite. Jamie, could you afford to at least replace the chairs? Sure, as soon as I get my next paycheck. Paycheck? You already have a job? Yeah, Field Sales Rep; it pays pretty well. They allow you to wear that silly bandana to work? They want me to wear a suit to work? They laughed, then hugged. Yes! Im home! They were married a few months after settling down. Both their families attended the modest ceremony in their backyard. Wellthey actually just partook in their expensive wine that he bought. It was successful, and they had a quick honeymoon. I have work next week, was his response. Workaholic, she thought. Was that all he did while I was still at school? She couldnt complain though, since she was a lowly street artist. There was a miniature honeymoon to supplement the one they left for weeks before. They went out to eat and came home. They did a little flirting that escalated into a love-fest in the back of Jamies company car. Estrella became sick for weeks afterwards and was diagnosed with the simple fact that she had morning sickness and she was pregnant. She was excited, yet very ill. She could only manage to sleep, eat, take care of her higene needs, and maybe plop herself in the cheap sofa and watch television on their flat panel plasma. Jamie received two promotions in the duration of Estrellas pregnancy. He added onto the house to make room for baby. He replaced the cheap chairs with more expensive dining chairs. Finally! Comfortable seating! He wanted to make Estrella as happy as possible, and in turn was happy himself: spending and earning money, and growing the experimental money trees in the alley of the house. Jamie? What are these? They fined me a thousand dollars for having a counter---errthese are to help our little family out, financially. I thought we had $15,000 in the bank. We did But? We dont really have that cushion anymoresorry As long as we still have money for the babys furniture, its quite alright. Wellif you say sooh look, theres some money now! Wowit actually works! Indeed! Would you look at that? Forty dollars! Ack! I need to go lie down Estrella fell asleep, and then woke up with sharp pains in her tummy. Jamie panicked and called an ambulance to take her to the hospital. He was smoking outside when a doctor came out to give him news on his wife. Is she alright? Yes Mr. Cormier, shes quite fine. You have such beautiful children. Children? I beg your pardon, but I thought we were giving birth to our first child. You did. She had twins. Jamie dropped his cigarette and his face was frozen in shock. They are two beautiful girls. I suggest you come in and see them, since you dropped your Jamie ran in there. Ill be damned, he thought, as he laid eyes on his pretty wife holding two babies in her arms. Arent they cute, Jamie? What do you think we should name them? I kinda had several girls names in mind, thinking youd have all the boys names figured out Id like to hear, he said calmly. He took a seat and looked at them. One had his skin tone, and the other had her green tone. Well, at least theyre easy to tell apart. Lets name one Lorenathe other Adrianahowd that be? Sure.
Javier and Shenene were really thrilled to have their eldest son decide to move back in with them. They were even more thrilled at the prospect of having their grandchild living with them. Alonso had married Jade Barrett, and they had one child, Eva. However, Javier and Shenene were not happy about the fact that...well... "Dreadful, just dreadful." "Shenene, if they want to be vampires, so be it. I'm not kicking my kid out into the street because of it." "Their requests are just so strange...coffins for example...dreadful, just dreadful!" Shenene was a very cheerful, outgoing, and sunny sort of person. Having what appeared to be a funeral home in one of her spare rooms was "just dreadful" to her. Eva was a jewel, though, and nothing could change the fact that her parents were different. She even liked the color purple. Her father, though, was uneasy around kids, so she did not really have much of a relationship with him. One day, when Alonso and Jade had to both work at the same time, Javier was helping Eva with her homework. He was a bit of a slacker, even in old age, so he was rusty on his elementary school math. He then heard the doorbell ring. "Could you answer that, dear? It's that headmaster fellow that was supposed to come today. My hands are full with the turkey!" Javier sighed and let the man in. He showed the guy around the house, until he came back into the dining room through the kitchen. The turkey was placed in the floor. Two servings were on the kitchen table. Shenene was being approached from behind by none other than the Grim Reaper himself. "Shenene Cormier, it is time for you to go." "Already? Jeez son, you sure do pick the most inconvenient times to come take somebody to Heaven. I'll see you later Javier, please take care of the children." And she was gone.
"I'm sorry about your wife, Mr. Cormier." "Oh...well...*sniff* I'm going to miss that girl..." "Could you show me the rest of your house? It's quite interesting." "Oh...sure..." Eva was standing there crying. "Grampy, where's Grammy?" "She's in a better place, sweetheart. Why don't you go watch tv?" She stood there crying her eyes out harder than before. Javier sighed and led the headmaster through the house until the man was satisfied by the abstract art hanging on the walls. He then fed the man his wife's famous turkey, then smoozed with him until the man agreed to let his granddaughter into "that darn school." When Alonso and Jade came home, they moved the urn of Shenene's ashes into their bedroom. Javier was now a very lonely man with probably several more years left before he could join Shenene up in the sky. He was just thrilled to have his family living with him, and he finished helping little Eva with her homework once the headmaster left.
1. Alonso and Jade before I was bored with them being normal... Also, my brother who has his Italian mafia-like family in my neighborhood is reluctant to let any Salvadori age, so having Jade a vampire solves that problem. 2. Nothing like having a makeover! 3. "Hi Mommy!" 4. "Time to go, Shenene." 5. The shrine in the vampire's sleeping room.
I like the pictures, especially "Hi, Mommy." Very nice that you are able to share your game with your brother. It would make me crazy, sharing my game. Sounds like you even share the same neighborhood!
Indeed we do share the same neighborhood We seem to have a system worked out that lets us play the game whenever we feel like it. He has one way of playing it, like building extravagant houses and such. I have my own way of playing it, like building relationships and generations. Somehow it just works out. It also helps that this thing's on the laptop, so we can play the game wherever...
"Hey Enrique, this is Jamie." "Hey bro! Why haven't you called in so long!?" Jamie was standing out in his yard, drawing on a cigarette, and was watching his money trees grow. He had whipped out his cellphone to catch up with people in college, especially with his best friend. "I've had my hands full, man." "I could say the same thing. Man that was an awesome wedding. I'm so glad you could make it to that." "I know. I still can't believe you married 'The Diva.'" "Dude, she has a name, y'know. Danielle's perfect for me." "Yeah, I heard the stories." Jamie looked across the street and saw Enrique's uncle Javier fighting with Danielle on the sidewalk. How that telescope could see that far down the street, Jamie would never know. "I know she's not the sweetest woman in the world, but she's wonderful in other ways." "Uh huh." "Whatever man. Not only do I have the most beautiful woman in the world, but I have an awesome kid. Diego's such a spitfire." "My little girls can be a handful, but they're angels." That was the reason why he was outside at the moment. He had put them, and their mother, to bed. "I bet they are, man. Say, isn't Estrella pregnant again?" "Yeah, we wanted to have another baby. I'm not quite sure how this'll work, but by the time the baby is born, the twins will be starting school." "Hey that's pretty convenient." "You know it, bro." Then Jamie heard screaming coming from inside. "JAMIE! THE BABY'S COMING AND IT'S NOT GOING TO WAIT!" "Gotta go, man." "Keep in touch!"
So a woman named Kiara made a robot before she passed away. So the robot, thinking and believing and acting like a real person, married a woman named Marisa. So the robot and the woman adopted a son whom they named Jamie. So the robots son married an alien. The alien was the daughter of Kiaras youngest son. So the robots son and his alien wife had a family that consisted of twin daughters of differing skin tone and features and a redheaded grumpy boy. So the robot was a grandfather. When the robot heard there was a vampire in the neighborhood, he wanted to meet the guy. As it turned out, it was the son of Kiaras second son. So the robot became a vampire too. The robot was afraid of losing his wife. He was aware that he could live forever as a vampire. When his wife expressed an interest of living forever with him, he turned her into a vampire. So the vampire robot had a vampire wife. Francisco Cormier lost his wife Brittney when they were discussing what would happen after death. She left him with the message of: Frankie, dont cry. I hate to see a grown man cry. Im going to see you sooner than you think anyway. So Francisco was without a wife. He was an 83 year old man, with a grown daughter living with him, and twin grandchildren. He was also living with the vampire robot with the flower shop on his mothers property. Yes, the robot had a thriving flower shop. He could whip out flowers quicker than you could ask where they were. Unfortunately, running a flower shop while being undead is really hard to do. He had already fired his employees because they proved to be incompetent, or they quit on their own. He finally had to hire a girl named Heather, who was in college. She came to work in a toga. One day, the vampire robot with the flower shop found his wife in ashes near her favorite thing in the world: her telescope. So the vampire robot with the flower shop was without his vampire wife. So the vampire robot sold his flower shop and moved in with his adopted son with the alien wife and the three grandchildren. He brought his flowers, his wifes urn filled with her ashes, and the picture of them when they were young and carefree. He lived in the basement of his sons new townhouse. The son was going to open an eatery next door. The robot was unsure of how this plan would work. He wasnt even sure about the restaurants name, Jamies To Go. He would, however, support his son in any way he could. Was it worth being a vampire after losing his wife to the sun? He was not sure. But it was very painful for Bender to live without her forever. Waitnah, he wasnt going to ask Alonso for a go at the Grim Reapers telephone. That guy was the reason why he was in this predicament anyway. Oh well. At least he could interact with his grandkids. Gosh I feel old, he thought. Yet, I feel the same way I have since day one. Whats up with me?
