Words from the watcher (namely me!).
Here is the LINK to the latest addition of the story.
Randomizing the EA worlds I ended up with Appaloosa Plains as my starting off town, with the Parrott family as my starting family.
Kanoa Parrott is the dad, he is Flirty, Party Animal, Commitment Issues, Inappropriate and a Schmoozer.
Jazlyn Parrott is the mother and she is Brave, Neat, Handy, Family Oriented and a Light Sleeper.
How these two ended up I have no idea, perhaps Kanoa's charming ways. But his life time wish of being a Heartbreaker and Jazlyn's life time dream of having a large family are completely at odds and it doesn't bode well for this couple.
Also included in this family is Ethan Parrott who is the child and is a Couch Potato, Heavy Sleeper and Friendly. The one I'm interested in is the baby not yet born who will be the heir to the family!
Since the "dirty deed" is done I don't have to look towards making an heir to the family, instead I look towards achieving life time goals. Kanoa's is unpleasant, I just don't like the cheating factor, so I will work on Kanoa being the top of his criminal career. Jazlyn's on her way to having five kids be teenagers, but with one child and a bun in the oven its not progressing fast. She's also bottom of the rung at a part time career, and has no skills to speak of. Things aren't going well for them financially. On a good note Ethan has almost maxed out Logic and Painting so he will be well on his way for any career featuring those skills.
Thanks to a watcher intervention, everyone is now skilling and progressing towards their goals!
(Ethan) It was a warm summers evening, mom was collecting flowers, she says you can get money for them, which is good cause i heard dad stressing over the fact we have no money. She found some rare flowers and made over $1000 from them!
We were having a great time, the summer fair had come when all of a sudden mom and dad ran off. Ran off and left me! I have no idea where they went, but I'm a big boy and cycled home on my own. Finishing my homework I discovered a baby crib in my parents bedroom and a few minutes later mom and dad came home with a new brother for me!
Jarrod Parrott is his name and he looks like a Athletic Loner sort of baby. Aunt Beatrice send "salutations" what ever that is and a toy for Jerrod. She never sent me anything when I was born.... why did Jarrod get something and not me? Not fair!
The next day I was so embarrassed when I was on the school field trip at the police station and my dad showed up... he had been arrested. The other kids saw this and the whispering started, and then they made fun of me and called me a crooks kid. I can't stand the other kids making fun of my dad.
I talked to mom about this and she said I could go away to a boarding school. She had to collect more flowers to pay for it, but she would try to make it work for me. I'm so excited! I leave the next morning at 9 am! I was so excited when the taxi got there I ran out of the house in the pouring rain despite my tatty umbrella and was gone!
While Ethan is away at boarding school I - the watcher - will be taking over. Of course Kanoa didn't care that Ethan was away, didn't care or didn't notice. He wasn't the heir to the family so who cares what happened to him Kanoa would think, he is just a spawn to do my bidding, Kanoa thought. Poor Ethan, he was even being picked on at boarding school and even had to call home because of an unfortunate 'accident' with his art supplies! Jazlyn meanwhile was oblivious to Kanoa's ways and wanted yet another child, which Kanoa agreed with, the more spawn to make money the better Kanoa thought. Of course Jazlyn thought the child would be blessed as a unicorn had paid them a visit during woohooing!
Ethan called only a day after being sent to art school and begged to come home, apparently the people are all weird and he hates it. He did learn photography while there but not much else, Kanoa was furious at the waste of money and let Ethan hear all about it!
During this fight little Jarrod grew up to be a cute little (apparently) cross-eyed toddler. Let the heir molding begin!
