Romance Is DeadFirstly, a massive apology is due for how rubbish I've been at updating. Work has completely blown up with disasters over the last two months, all of which seem to have fallen to me to fix, so I'm doing a lot of very stressful overtime! In happier news, I'm also expecting a baby which is mega exciting but filling my time with lots of sleeping as the pregnancy's making me really tired. So again sorry, and I hope to get to updating this regularly from now on (Gen 3 is about to be born, so I really do need to catch up). For those of you who've also read my Shark dynasty before, I'm hoping to get that back up and running soon too.
But moving on. Meet teenaged Jazz. Somewhere between Almond and Bittersweet in looks. It was hell finding a hair that suited her, she has really really weird cheekbones.
Her fashion, though, was easy. Slightly gothic, practical and definitely no shoes for our not-so-little wolfy.
She rolled the Athletic trait, making her Athletic, Mean Spirited, Neurotic and a Lover of the Outdoors. I have an idea what to do with her now.
Because we're trying to get through the teen stage in as few days as possible, the very first thing Jazz is sent off to do is get a job at the mausoleum. I very rarely get my teens to take a part-time job, so this is a bit of a learning experience for me. Keeping her happy for both school and work is by far the biggest challenge. Time for a Motive Mobile and some driving lessons!
And our poor Neurotic heir, having to hang around with all those ghosts.
Jazz: Dead people can't hurt you, right? They're transparent. They can walk through walls, so they can't!
That's the spirit, love. #unintentionalpun
Testing out her wolfy capabilities comes next. So far, we've noticed impressive claws, insanely bushy eyebrows and a load of her hair mysteriously falling off, but not a lot of hunting ability. That'll come with time.
She's got the poses though.
Moonlight Falls Next Top Model, here we come...
Because I'm a non-favouritist watcher (even though I'm a lazy one - Jazz is our heir and therefore the only one doing interesting stuff), we have to remember there are two other triplets.
If we were stereotyping, Bittersweet would be the smart one. She's busy developing her logic skill.
And the helpful one. Those toilets don't fix themselves, and we can't actually afford a plumber.
Almond's taken up cooking. She's good at it. Maybe it's to do with having a food-inspired name.
Meanwhile, Jazz freaks out about the enormity of the dynasty tasks. I don't blame her, I would if I was her.
Funny how the Wolff kids are still kids (and they're Jazz's neice and nephew).
Those of you who've read the Life States Dynasty ruleset will know that every teen heir needs a romantic interest. This is the one other teen in Moonlight Falls. He's grumpy, a babysitter, and generally a terrible choice, but he's the only choice Jazz has.
And he rejects her.
Poor Jazz. To be fair, though, they'd met about half an hour before and her chat-up lines need work.
Also, the graveyard for a date?! I know you needed to get to work, wolf-girl, but seriously. It's not usually considered a romantic atmosphere.
Not to be deterred (and it's the last thing she needs to do now before aging up) she invites him out again the next day.
Jazz: Hey, gorgeous. There's no ghosts watching us today.
The chat up lines still need work.
SUCCESS!
Jazz: Hey, I have something to tell you.
Jazz's RI: Oh, you're not going to dump me and break my heart are you? Girls are forever doing that. They just use me and all I want is a girlfriend to love and buy flowers for!
Jazz: Ah, yeah, I'm dumping you. Laters.
Well, you can't expect him to take it well, can you?
