Witness Protection

[Malley]

Yay! Merlot got with Tristan! They were cute together in the earlier posts 

[Nettlejuice]

Woah, a parent dying just when she's about to do important things like showing us her love interests! I always feel a bit bad for Tristan, mainly because I don't call myself a Twilight fan.

[KRae]

@Tixxis  The nectar's up to 930 each now, and I'll let you know what they're worth at moving time, but they'll have to stay in Moonlight Falls at that point.
@Malley  Tristan has been so easy to live with; His traits are Flirty, Brooding, Vegetarian, Virtuoso, and Computer Whiz.
@Nettlejuice  I'm also not a fan of the Twilight series. I'm not its target audience - too old, too independent minded.

Chimes were heard, yadayadayada.
Merlot: Hey, those yadas were puking and backaches and waddling!
Me: Sorry, but your maternity clothes are really nice.
Merlot: Okay now, go away. Were panicking here.



Tristan absolutely adores his son. *raspberries*



And this is why Heavy Sleeper. The Does were given a violin as a wedding gift. I'm sure he'll play better eventually.



Swizzle Doe - Friendly, Heavy Sleeper   He has his father's eyes with the traditional Doe blond hair.



Swizzle learns his toddler skills quickly thanks to Merlot's Nurturing trait.



Which leaves more time for this.



Two days before Swizzle's next birthday, next to his impressive garden, Tristan becomes and elder.

[Malley]

Swizzle is just a bundle of utter cuteness. He is going to be such a cutie pie when he grows up.

[Nettlejuice]

Oh no, he's already an elder. Swizzle's is adorable, his play-biting with his doll is cute.

[Playalot]

Oh my! Seeing little Swizzle making zzz's on the floor cracked me up! He is such a cute toddler, those little cute lips...

[KRae]

@Malley  And they grow up so fast. I don't know how I'll ever play a game with 7 days of toddlerhood again.
@Nettlejuice  He was really cute with the doll, but it was all he wanted to play with.
@Playalot  I've given up on cribs. The adults are always putting the little tykes in the cribs when either they need the potty or just aren't tired. Sleepy? Just click on the moodlet and off they go.

Once again, it's time for cake (not that they don't have a fridge full). Another Ambitious child. Are we seeing a pattern here?



Swizzle realized he was becoming too attached to his doll. If he wanted to accomplish anything, he would need to give it up.
Tristan: What a lovely gift! I'll keep it safe until the day I die.



Okay, I didn't know what you wanted to accomplish was hanging out at bars. A little young, don't you think?
Swizzle: What can I say, I enjoy the ambience.



What's up with the cops in Moonlight Falls? They have never once managed to catch a burglar.



Childhood is so fleeting!
What's the matter, Swizzle!
Swizzle: I can't see, my eyebrows are eating my forehead, and this coat is really warm.



Swizzle: I look cool now, like the guys in the giant, overwhelming poster. I'm going to be a great bartender.
Me: You can't actually be a bartender.
Swizzle: I've watched Mad Sims, and mixing drinks seems to be an important skill in business. Maybe I'll try that.



Saturday night at the Doe residence...dress code - swimwear or robe required.



Merlot: What happened to my hair? And this coat is really warm!



Swizzle went stag to prom. He didn't find a girlfriend there, but he did get in two fights, got voted prom king, and saw a three-eyed llama so it wasb't a total loss.



Swizzle met Jami Morrissey at school and invited her over to do homework. It seemed safer for his parents' health than going to her house. (Tristan was maybe 54 at the time).
Swizzle: If a loch ness monster swims 2 miles above water and dives for three minutes, how many apples remain?
Jami: France!



Jami and Swizzle were already best friends, so when he discovered that she was Family Oriented, he made his move.

[Malley]

Swizzle and Jami's homework discussion sounds like my answers to my sister's science or math questions, lol.

[Playalot]

Such a funny chapter! Warm coats, over bearing eyebrows and bad math! Love it.

[Nettlejuice]

What is it with wearing coats in summer? Luck is on your side to have found a partner with family orientated trait. Swizzle is looking good with his new hairstyle. If only I could go around in my swimwear at home, lol.

[KRae]

Thanks everyone.
I just completed my next post and hit preview and got page cannot be displayed. Grr...Everything I wrote disappeared. I'll try again, breaking it up into smaller posts.

[KRae]

Swizzle: I refuse to allow this hair to be my destiny.



Swizzle graduated on a Saturday and, after signing up for the business career, mixed drinks the rest of the weekend. His first unique creation, The Triple Orange Whatever with Sass.



Grim: Okay, save as and quit, Tristan Doe. You've played your last game of The Humans 3.
Rest in Peace, Tristan age 59.



This maybe explains the Most Likely to Burn Down His Own House award.



Two days after her husband, Merlot Doe, age 52, leaves her son alone. Goodbye, sweetie.

[KRae]

Okay that posted. The adventure continues.

Jami came over for a visit and stayed. Her traits are No Sense of Humor, Family Oriented, Inappropriate, Mooch, and Light Sleeper.



Oh, and did I mention, she's also a witch.



Swizzle worked hard on his mixology. 500 is a lot of drinks. Jami worked every bit as hard on maxing Alchemy and learning to make all the elixirs. They would need to move towns soon. They were the richest family in town (6.8 million) and were drawing far too much attention. Their money and possessions could be taken away, but their knowledge is theirs to keep.



Stop! You can't go to your last day of work like that!



Swizzle: Better? You can't keep me amped up on elixirs working from home all night and expect me not to be a bit addled.
And so, completely clothed, Swizzle met his final requirement.
