Thanks for the comments Anushka, lilygirl and jessiethedog
@ jessiethedog: Sorry about the meteor crash, I'm just lucky not to have had any of those. My ambitions expansion has seemed to come without meteors but I guess I'll find out if there are any soon since the next generation will have to spend a lot of time oudoors.
Speaking of the next generation, here are some of his toddler pics:
Karanos ages up to toddler on the floor and it looks like he got his mothers blue eyes and his own shade of dark brown hair. His favourite coulor turned out to be yellow and that is the same as Maeve’s so he will have to have a change of taste when he’s older (I want them all to have different coulors).
His grandmother Cleo teaches him to talk which might not be the best idea since she’s kind of a bad influence:
Cleo: “Right, let’s just skip the big cheap items and focus on the small and valuable. Say after me: diamond... necklace… expensive stereo system. On second thought, skip the last one that can wait until you’re older.”
Cleo is still the towns master criminal and has a habit of gathering with her co-workers to discuss illegal activities. The neighbourhood is a bit under populated with adults now so people keep changing jobs. When the job market gets tough the employers have to get tougher.
Cleo: ”You’re late Weinstein, you better have a good excuse.”
Tiffani Weinstein*: “Uh, I don’t work for you anymore. Someone hit me on the head and dragged me in when I passed the restaurant so apparently I’m a kitchen scullion now.”
Cleo: “That explains all the people complaining about the diner only having plasma pancakes today. Hm... I guess we will have to catch one of their chefs now and make them work for us. Minions, get to work!”
(*The vampire in the culinary outfit, she is the houseghost Crissy's niece.)
The next night Cleo runs into an old acquaintance:
Cleo: “What are you doing here? If I somehow got in an accident without noticing I should have you know have a death flower with me and I’m not afraid to use it. ”
Death:
“No, I was here for one of your oldest friends actually, the one called LaShawn Talley. These stupid vampires keep forgetting to drink their plasma and they keep moving to Sunset Valley because they believe it will be dark here.”Cleo: “Not another employee! Oh well, she was pretty dull anyway. Had no sense of humor that woman.”
Death:
”A bit of an insensitive attitude for a human. It might be your husband next, he’s getting older you know. It might be nicer to grow old together and spend your last time away from that big noisy family always judging you for your activities. It heard from widows it’s horrible being the one left behind, maybe you want to stop eating that old cake and drop that flower and just join him in the possibly eternal afterlife?”Cleo: “Not really, though I suppose I would miss Cedrik in a way. You’re speaking to the wrong family member; you don’t become a master criminal by being soft-hearted you know. I’m quite comfortable where I am. Nice try.”
No one is leaving the house yet and the next generation is already preparing for his skillmax. Karanos did learn to talk but most of the time he is banging on the xylophone to loud for anyone to hear him. He is too young to smash a guitar but practices for his future career by biting the mallet.
