Not Getting Any Jeonger, A Po10 Dynasty, 3.3-The Case of the Baby Bump

[MarianT]

Alibreeze is adorable. So is Michelle -- I agree with oshizu, she needs a dynasty.

[PeregrineTook]

Ooooh, Michelle Behr is so lovely! Sadly, she must languish in your current dynasty with no love and family of her own.   
That bar in Glimmerbrook is so not-magical! It has to be sorriest excuse for a bar in The Sims 4, haha.
Meanwhile, how are Tavi and Alibreeze doing? Nice work, Tavi, on making your two non-human good friends.

Tavi mentioned being a teacher. May we assume she's joined the Educator career?

Yes, Tavi is a teacher at Pigmole's School for Spellcraft and Sorcery.  It seemed fitting.
Yeah, the Glimmerbrook bar is pretty sorry, but it's a public lot and 2 hours there gets her closer to completing that requirement.  Plus, it gave me that fun bit of Michelle narrative to write and I think everybody wanted more Michelle time  :=)
Tavi is a bit of an absentee mom in most respects, but they do enjoy playing with the doll house together!

Alibreeze is adorable. So is Michelle -- I agree with oshizu, she needs a dynasty.

I may kind of already have something in the works for Michelle  ;=)

[PeregrineTook]

We return to the home of two glorious descendants of the unfathomably phenomenal Nessy Jeong to find the youngest Jeong getting in some daddy time.



Kayaan:  ...and that means you and all the other heirs can just come to the garden and harvest dragon fruits to get lots of extra money for building your homes and such.
Alibreeze:  Aww da nunny?!?
Kayaan:  Yes, my dear, you get all the money.
Pippin:  Kayaan, you might have no sense of humor, but your sense of helpfulness is fantastic!
Kayaan:  Thanks, I think.
Pippin:  But a garden is not the only thing he was getting ready.



Anaya:  So, not to question your whole house husband role or anything, but do you actually know how to cook?
Kayaan:  I've heard rumors about how it's supposed to work.
Anaya:  ...I'll just check that your fire extinguisher's ready to go. 
Pippin:  I like Anaya.  She's practical.



Kayaan:  See?  Cake!  Or a cake-like substance at least.  Something to hold candles.
Pippin:  And with the crisis averted, we move into party mode!!  And I'm one of the first guests to arrive!



Pippin:  ...so, I'm probably going to abduct them early to get another story going, so you guys should really get in quality time while you can.
Shanna:  Umm, abduct us?
Michelle:  Don't worry, little one.  Pippin uses "abduct" in a very complimentary, and only mildly frightening way.
Shanna:  …I...don't feel reassured...



Caitlyn:  I aged up too!!  I'm a teen!  I have a bun on my head!!  Not the bakery kind, but the hair kind!!
Pippin:  Umm, I think our heir is being taken to the cake, so maybe this could not be Caitlyn time?
Michelle:  But you are lovely, sweetie!
Caitlyn:  Thanks, sis!
Pippin:  Yes, Michelle is a keeper.  Anyway, turning our attention to the great facial expressions that cake time brings...



Pippin:  Hahahaha!  You look so silly!
Tavi:  That wasn't me.  That was Alejandra.
Pippin:  ...pretty sure it was...
Tavi:  You can't prove it!
Pippin:  ...that's true, actually...anyway, little Alibreeze…



Pippin:  needs a makeover
Alibreeze:  Yeah, I look like a pro wrestler dressed up as a little girl playing housewife.
Pippin:  Interestingly said, but yes.



Alibreeze:  Yes.  This is much better and far more practical.
Caitlyn:  Can you see me?  I'm in the mirror!!  Look at me!!  Look in the mirror!!
Pippin:  Michelle is going to have her hands full with that one.



Alibreeze:  Hello, grandmother.  What words of wisdom do you have for me now that I've reached this age-ist milestone?
Anaya:  Hmm, how about some relationship advice.  Find someone who makes you as happy as Morgan makes Pippin.
Pippin:  Yeah, that's really...I mean...WHAT?  We're totally not together!
Morgan:  Yeah, we're only dating when you're not looking!
Pippin:  (facepalm)
Our young heiress then heads outside where there seems to be a commotion



Alibreeze:  What seems to be the problem here, ma'am?
Shanna:  I...found all these colors...already on the ground...and...this paint isn't mine...I was...just holding it for a friend.
Alibreeze:  Mm-hmm.  Maybe you'd like to discuss this down at the station?
Shanna:  I...k...



Michelle:  Hmm, I could have sworn Shanna was waiting right out here on the front lawn.  And who made this mess? 
Kayaan:  (sigh) I'll get the mop.
And, feeling that she'd had too much time at home, Tavi and the Tavengers set off for some social time.



Tavi:  Woot!  It's the Dogtown Drinky Place!!
Alejandra:  I would correct me on the name of both town and tavern, but I find my choices preferable.
Finley:  Woot!  I'm awesome!



Alejandra:  Let's fill up time to get in two hours here so we can leave!
Tavi:  I'm so much fun to bring on social outings.
Alejandra:  What can I say, I'm goal oriented.
Tavi:  K, I'm just gonna go inside and work my magic.



Barkeep:  What the...I feel tingly...



Tavi:  Sorry, gnome more drinks.  Hahahahahaha!!  Whew!  PottyBot would have loved that joke.
Alejandra:  And wouldn't have gotten it.
Tavi:  Yeah, he makes sense to me.  I don't get it either.
And, having put this new spell to the test, Tavi heads home to see a very important visitor.



Nessy:  You said you might have a good plan?
Tavi:  It's great, Mom!  Probably!  You see, I turn you into a gnome or something, and when you turn back, maybe you might not be a ghost maybe!
Nessy:  That was a whole lot of maybe and probably, could we just...
Tavi:  Bibbity-bobbity-bing
         Turn Mom into a thing!



Tavi:  K, I'll be back to check on you later!
Nessy:  …
Pippin:  Well, she is a rather adorable stuffed animal.  Speaking of...



Alibreeze:  You're the best, Mr. Unique Horn!
Pippin:  Aww, still just a child despite all your grown up talk, eh, Ali?
Alibreeze:  It's Alibreeze, thank you, and no.  I'm simply ensuring that this stuffed animal displays as a good friend in my relationship panel before I reach the young adult stage so I can count him as a non-human friend.
Pippin:  ...oh.
Alibreeze:  ...and he's kind of adorable, if you're into that whole cuddly lovey unicorn thing, I guess.
Pippin:  See!!  Still a child!
Alibreeze:  Literally a child, Pippin.
Pippin:  Which proves me right!  Mic drop!  Pippin out!
Alibreeze:  ...can I petition for a new Watcher?  Michelle seems nice.  Can I choose her?
But Michelle was fulfilling the Watcher role elsewhere.



Tavi:  Alright, Tavengers, we've got our most challenging task yet!  We must search the entirety of Sulani's shores until we manage to find a coconut!
Michelle:  Umm, there's a vending machine right over there that dispenses them.
Tavi:  ...oh.



Tavi:  Id like one coconut, please.
Michelle:  You have to actually put money in it and push the buttons.
Tavi:  Oh.
Michelle:  And you should get two so Kayaan can plant one for future generations in case they also get this day job.
Kayaan:  That's really smart, actually.
Finley:  Dinosaur angry!  Dinosaur smash!!!
And with a child-aged heir, more parties, hours at public lots, and day jobs completed, we bid farewell to the Jeongs...and their dinosaurs and unicorns.
Finley:  SMASH!!!

[oshizu]

Caitlyn is so funny! Does she have the self-absorbed trait? Still, Michelle's cuter!
Alibreeze aged up to a beautiful child. Without close-ups of Advaith--I mean, Kayaan--it's hard to tell.
But does Alibreeze look like Tavi with Kayaan's skintone and hair color? What about her eyes?

Lol, why doesn't Alibreeze get to go out with the grown-ups? School?
My two favorite odd jobs have to be Coconut Milk Real Milk? and Kava Exaggeration, hehe.
Good luck with bringing Nessa back to life! And looking forward to more Alibreeze!

You'll hear more about Caitlyn's traits later, but not in this thread (hinting at a new upcoming story).  But yes, Michelle is just lovely!
Alibreeze looks like a mix of the features at this point:  more of Kayaan's coloring and some facial feature shapes, but other features and aspects of them lean towards Tavi.  We'll see how that shapes up as she gets older, I suppose.
Alibreeze didn't need to go out with the grown-ups because Alejandra, Michelle, or Dali tend to be around to keep an eye on things since they're also responsible like our your heiress  ;=)

[PeregrineTook]

We rejoin the Jeong household where we find the youngest descendant of the immaculate Nessy heading off to the park with her entourage.



Alibreeze:  Yep, I've got my cousin Alina, my aunts Shanna and Clara, and there's some random boy child that Pippin will probably try to get me to interact with since the spouse hunt usually begins at the child stage.
Pippin:  Hey, I had your mom chatting up people when you were just a toddler!
Alibreeze:  You did not just make yourself sound any better.
Pippin:  ...oh.



Alibreeze:  Look, I'm playing.  Like a child.
Pippin:  You should be playing with the other children.
Alibreeze:  (sigh) Can I at least play chess with them instead?  It has the word "play" in it.
Pippin:  Fine.



Lamar:  Say, gurl, I hear you're looking to spend some one on one time with me?
Alibreeze:  And I see you're trying to look like some sort of cool, tough guy while you're actually just an insecure child.
Lamar:  (pouty lip) ...yeah...maybe...whatever.  Chess is dumb.
Pippin:  You are quite the charmer.
Alibreeze:  What?  I smiled!  Wait, is that...?



Alibreeze:  Aunt Caitlyn?
Caitlyn:  Ali!
Alibreeze:  Alibreeze.
Caitln:  Do you see me?  Do you see my outfit?  I'm a homeless vagabond!! 
Alibreeze:  Yes, but you have a home, so...
Caitlyn:  Michelle said something about Pippin had a plan and then there were details and words but something about moving, so homeless!
Alibreeze:  Moving?  So, might that be to a new home?
Caitlyn:  ...I hadn't thought of that.  Maybe I should go change...



Holden:  Umm, so the transient is your aunt?
Alibreeze:  Yep!  Nice skirt, by the way.
Holden:  ...my mom says I have eclectic tastes.
Alibreeze:  I can respect that.
Austin:  I...I thought you were both girls.  I mean, the skirt...
Alibreeze:  You are what one might call small minded.
Austin:  I'm a small child, so I guess my mind would be small?
Holden:  Proportionate, I think is the word you're looking for.
Alibreeze:  Holden, you have earned at least good friend consideration.
Holden:  I'm flattered.
Alibreeze:  Well, if you'll excuse me, I promised my Dad he could have the day off.
Holden:  ...what?



Alibreeze:  Whew, this is harder than he makes it look!  Think I'll go sleep before homework time.



Pippin:  So, you play chess, mop up messes, and do homework in a timely fashion.  Are you sure you're Tavi's daughter and not Dali's daughter?
Alibreeze:  I take after Dad.
Pippin:  That's fair.
Alibreeze:  Hold on, gotta run outside.
Pippin:  Yes!  Running and playing and blowing off the homework.  Now it's getting interesting!



Alibreeze:  Mom!  You forgot the lunch I packed you!
Tavi:  Aww, thanks, sweetie!  What would I do without my little caretaker?
Pippin:  Disappointment.  I mean, super cute disappointment, but disappointment.  Anyway, after Tavi finishes her day's work, she returns home to do evil, sinister, witchcrafty things!



Tavi:  I'm making potions!  For my collection!
Pippin:  Why are you guys not exciting this time?



Alibreeze:  I mean, getting requirements finished is an exciting thing, right?
Pippin:  I guess.
Alibreeze:  Would it make you feel better if I go to a park and actually play with children?
Pippin:  Maybe.
Alibreeze:  Alright, big baby, let's go.



Alibreeze:  Alright, let's commandeer this ship and go hunting pirates!
Shanna:  Isn't this supposed to be a pirate ship?  Aren't we supposed to be the pirates?
Alina:  Just go with it, Shanna.  She's actually trying to play for once.
Shanna:  I mean, alright I guess.



Alibreeze:  Alright, crew, we're going deep undercover to infiltrate the pirate's lair and bring them to justice!
Shanna:  This is a whole lot more "good guy" than I usually manage.
Alina:  Yeah, I heard about the paint mess.
Shanna:  ...oh...that.
Alibreeze:  Ohmygosh!!  Let me take the helm, there's a trainwreck off the port bough!!!



Morgan:  I called Nessy a train wreck one time and I never hear the end of it.
Pippin:  There there, babe.
Shanna:  Cap'n!  It be a sea monster!



Michelle:  RAWR!!!
Shanna:  Thanks, Michelle!  You're the best!
Dahlia:  Don't let my mom hear you say that!
Shanna:  Isn't she still a teddy bear?
Dahlia:  (sigh) No, she turned back into a ghost.
And despite ghostly status remaining in effect, that has done nothing to compromise the fantabulous Nessy's place as greatest dancer of all time.



Tavi:  Dancing, getting another 2 hours in at a social lot...



Tavi:  and spouse hunting!  You know, dreadlock girl, I have an adorable child who will eventually need a spouse.
Dreadlock Girl:  These aren't actually dreadlocks, you see, because...
Tavi:  Well, not with that attitude they aren't!  Hey, where's Mom?



It's fortunate we got the chance
To see our favorite ghost girl dance
She busted moves and gave the most
So now rest well, our favorite ghost
Tavi:  Well, that was a fun outing.  What fun thing could I do next?  Oh!  I know!!



Tavi:  Just thought I'd bring you up here to see my potion collection, Kayaan.
Kayaan:  …oh.  I thought we were going to...
Tavi:  You so need to learn how humor works!
And after some private time with her favorite husband...
Kayaan:  Wait, does "favorite" mean she has other...
Tavi:  Humor!!
our heiress heads off to distribute more happiness, starting off by visiting Pippin.



Tavi: Pippin!  I have your potion...oh.  I'll just...look at this bookshelf.  That's a nice bookshelf.  Yep.  Books.  And a shelf.
Pippin:  Oh, what?  I...we were just whispering...directly into each other's faces...
Tavi:  Yeah, whatever.  I have potions!



And with potions distributed to the Watcher and his...whispering friend, our heiress heads to the home of the most glorious and great Nessy.
Tavi:  Full witch mode activated!!



Tavi:  Hey, Mom!
Nessy:  You turned me into a stuffed bear.
Tavi:  Yeah, that worked out better in my head.  Anyway, I have another potion...
Nessy:  No.  No more potions!
Tavi:  Wait!  Mom, wait!!  Why are you running into the house?  Trust me, this one will work!  Alibreeze?
Alibreeze:  Yeah, Grandma, this one actually should work.



Nessy:  Well, if Ali says so.
Alibreeze:  …alright, Grandma can call me that, but no one else!



And a miracle is achieved!
Tavi:  See, Pippin?  Not such a dull update after all!
Pippin:  I mean, yeah.
And with our supremely fantastic founder returned to her full emphatic glory, we bid farewell to the Jeong Dynasty, but we also say hello to the aforementioned new adventure for the Behrs, The Behr Necessities

[oshizu]

Wait, wait! So how did Tavi actually manage to deghostify Nessa? She repeatedly gave Potions of Immortality until one finally worked?
Also, Holden has great spouse potential. Great vocab!

[PeregrineTook]

Wait, wait! So how did Tavi actually manage to deghostify Nessa? She repeatedly gave Potions of Immortality until one finally worked?
Also, Holden has great spouse potential. Great vocab!

Well, Tavi was having trouble finding the last ingredient she'd needed for a potion of immortality, so she had just been trying deghostify and the moodlet curing potion, but otherwise it was just the reset your age potion.
Yeah, Holden is pretty cool, but I'm waiting to see how he ages up before we decide if he's spouse material or the president of the friend zone  ;=)

[PeregrineTook]

Our return to the Jeong household finds the heiress to the immaculate and immortal Nessy in the midst of enjoying a kava party.



Tavi:  We love-a the kava, amirite?
Michelle:  For some reason, I feel like I'm really sick of kava...



Tavi:  Toast is like bread, only harder!
Dahlia:  Excellent toast, sis!
Johnny:  Not how make a toast works...
Dahlia:  Just go with it, Dad.
Johnny:  Right.  Great toast, sweetie!



Tavi:  I don't...feel so good...
Pippin:  Yes!  Dazed mode, activated!!  Go take a nap to satisfy that whim you're having!
Tavi:  Eh, maybe after my nap.
Pippin:  ...ok.  I guess that would work?
And after her nap, it was time to knock out that final odd job.



Alejandra:  Aren't we supposed to be getting the treasure from some cave by a volcano?
Tavi:  We will, but I need us to do a thing quick.  Makeover time!
Finley:  Ooo, me first!
And after a quick change...



Tavi:  Tavengers assemble!!
Alejandra:  So...really?  We're really doing this?
Tavi:  Ab.  So.  LUTELY!!



Tavi:  And I get to be Scarlet Witch, because I'm a witch!!
Alejandra:  All of me are witches.
Finley:  I'm Captain Marvel because I look Captain Marvelous!!
Alejandra:  Fine.  So why am I Black Widow?
Tavi and Finley:  Because she's awesome!!
Alejandra:  Aww, me guys!
Tavi:  K, goin' in the cave.



Random Sulani Guy:  Oh, wook at the cute wittwe giwws aww dwessed up!  Is it Spooky Day?  Awen't you both just pwecious?!?!?  Yes you awe!!!
Finley:  Would it be wrong of us to roll this old man?
Alejandra:  I mean, he does seem to be asking for it.
Tavi:  Hey me guys!  I found the trea...why am I beating up that old man?
Finley and Alejandra:  He was asking for it!
Tavi:  Oh.  That's fine then.
Random Sulani Guy:  It's not fine!  Totally not fine!!
And to complete this fine and final odd job, Tavi used the mailbox at her childhood home and then went in to see the most gloriously shining star in the heavens, her mother.



Tavi:  How's not being a ghost treatin' ya?
Nessy:  Great!  It takes so much less make-up to make me look like Doctor Deb now!
Tavi:  Fantastic.  Since that worked, maybe I can...



Tavi:  raise Simeon from the dead!!  Necrocall!!
Simeon:  …
Tavi:  Necrocall?
Simeon:  ...
Tavi:  (sigh) Or not.  Ah well, it was worth a shot.  But I'm not leaving without giving my sister's daughter a snuggle!



Alina:  You could say "niece."
Tavi:  What?
Alina:  I'm your niece.
Tavi:  Eh, I don't think so.  Maybe you're Velma from Scooby-Doo, but I'm pretty sure you're a daughter, not a niece.
Alina:  Uuuummm, ok.  I'm just gonna enjoy the snuggle now.
Tavi:  Awesome!  Now I'm bringing you home so Alibreeze can work on her social butterfly aspiration.  Sister's daughter abduction for the win!
Alina:  K, that doesn't sound questionable at all.



Alibreeze:  Hayden, your skirt's almost as cool as Alina's.
Alina:  Almost.
Hayden:  Thanks!  And your jeans and jacket combo is extremely practical, Alibreeze.
Alibreeze:  That's exactly what I said about it!!
Pippin:  And while a potential couple was bonding outside the house, the existing couple was having a weird interaction inside the house.



Tavi:  Husband!  We're gonna do a thing to get my final whim finished.
Kayaan:  Of course, I'm always happy to help...wait...why are you dressed as a witch?  Don't you do that when you're intending to be evil?
Tavi:  Mwahahahaha!
Kayaan:  ...that is not comforting.



Tavi:  ...so that's what I want you to do.
Kayaan:  Really, honey?  You're sure about this?
Tavi:  Yep!  Do the thing, husband!
Kayaan:  I'm...gonna get behind you first.



Kayaan:  Oh, hey there, pretty lady.
Tavi:  What?!?!?!  Flirting right in front of me!  I've never been so angry!!!  Someone will pay!!!
Gemma:  Oooo, somebody's in trouble!!



Tavi:  Inferniate!!
Gemma:  OooOOOWWW!!!  Why is it me?!?  Why am I burning?!?!?
Tavi:  And I hope you learned your lesson!!  Now I'm going to send an angry text!!
Kayaan:  Baby, you're the greatest.
Tavi:  Aww, thanks, sweetie!  And if you ever do that again, I will let Dahlia destroy you.
Kayaan:  (gulp) You're welcome?
And so, the current heiress is a single promotion away from completing all her requirements at exactly the same time that the next heiress is about to start on hers.



Kayaan:  Time to bake another birthday cake.  Time sure does fly.
Tavi:  On a broom?  I used to do that.  It's pretty easy, but landing is kind of the worst.
Kayaan:  It...on a...no...?



Kayaan:  And why is this random old guy sitting at the table with you?  Is he a family friend?
Tavi:  No, he died and I dedeathified him to see if it worked and it did even though it doesn't work on Simeon but then he was here and just wouldn't leave and somehow seemed to be a welcome guest in our house, but you know, whatever, the more the merrier, right?
Levi (the formerly dead Sim):  Exactly!  Happy somebody's birthday!
Tavi:  Woot, yay for somebody!
Kayaan:  Why is our household so weird?
But finally, the cake is ready and the birthday girl approaches and...



actually looks really good even without a makeover!



Alibreeze:  Aww, thanks, narrator!  I'm still doing a makeover, though.  This is a good look, just not for me.  To the mirror!



Pippin:  Back to the jeans and jacket look, eh?
Alibreeze:  It's extremely practical.  Although, this is my party wear version.  Hence the festive white jacket.
Pippin:  Your sense of taste is consistent, I'll give you that.  Anyway, we need to do a thing to make sure I stay young...I mean, to make sure you're set up for your best success.  Tavi?
Tavi:  Magicificatify!
Pippin:  Pretty sure that's not what the spell is called, but ok.



Alibreeze:  Oh, I guess I'm gonna be a spellcaster.  Whether I want to or not.
Pippin:  Fountain of youth!!  I mean...lovely heiress set up for great success.
Alibreeze:  You are not subtle.
Pippin:  Thanks!  Wait, that wasn't a compliment.  You'll thank me when you have an endless supply of potions of plentiful needs! 
Alibreeze:  I mean, I guess there's that.
Pippin:  And now, the beautifully staged magic training shot to show off how pretty Alibreeze is...



Alibreeze:  Umm, thanks, but I'm more than just a pretty face.
Pippin:  But the face is so pretty!! 
Nessy:  She gets that from me.
Pippin:  And off to magic school for training...



Alibreeze:  Hey, my mom also teaches here and wants you to help train me in practical magic.
Saya:  Let me guess, your Watcher wants you to be able to copypasto potions of rejuvenation?
Alibreeze:  You are, indeed, wise, oh teacher.
Saya:  Eh, I've just chatted with your mom.  Sure, I'll teach ya, kid.



Saya:  Let me guess, the Watcher's ego is the size of this school, but his intellect is about this big?
Alibreeze:  Heh heh, something like that.
Pippin:  Nice.  Really nice.  Anyway, we finish off with a nice shot of the whole family for those wanting to see who Alibreeze most resembles.



Tavi:  She's beautiful, so she looks like me.
Kayaan:  Fair enough.
And with our lovely heiress, and no surprise she's lovely given her grandmother, hitting the teen years and starting into her leg of the dynasty, we bid farewell to the Jeong household.

[oshizu]

Alibreeze as a teen is lovely. She seems to have inherited Kayaan's eyebrows and lips besides, of course, his coloring.
I'm happy to see Alibreeze did not inherit Kayaan's cleft chin!
Good luck preparing to move out, Alibreeze!

[reggikko]

You know that happy feeling you get when you’re reading a book and you come across a little throwaway allusion to another work and you kind of get a thrill because you picked up on the reference right away? Sick of kava, indeed. Very excellent alluding there, good sir.

I like Alibreeze’s no nonsense, high achiever self.

Yeah, I think Alibreeze managed to get all the best features from both parents to be the best blend of their genetics she could possibly be.  I must admit, I spend way too much time taking screenshots of her  :=)

Glad you enjoyed that Behr Necesities BACC reference  ;=)  It's funny having the characters exist in both story worlds, because now that the behrs have theoretically moved out of the Jeong storyverse, I have to be careful when taking screenshots to avoid having any of them in the background of shots when I travel to social settings  :=)

[PeregrineTook]

We return to the dynasty founded by Nessy Jeong, greatest Sim of all time, to find the third generation kneeling before the second generation heir as she prepares to take over the mantle of heir.



Alibreeze:  Actually, I was just working on my homework.
Tavi:  While kneeling before me!!!  Mwahahahaha!!  I should change into my witch clothes for this...
Alibreeze:  Nope, getting up to practice magic now.



Pippin:  And I'm gonna get an awesome screenshot showing off how pretty she is!!
Alibreeze:  Again, Pippin, more than just a pretty face.
And indeed, she had a chance to prove that after the day at school for the teacher mom and student daughter had come to an end and they booked a trip to Selvadora to begin working on Alibreeze's unique skill and aspiration.



Tavi:  This is where we'll be roughing it!
Alibreeze:  Umm, this is bigger and nice than our house.
Tavi:  See?  Roughing it!
Alibreeze:  I don't think that phrase means what you think it means.
Tavi:  To the tavern!!



Tavi:  Locals!!
Alibreeze:  Wow, what...uniquely festive garb, ma'am.
Ma'am:  Why thank you, young lady!  Let me tell you things about local culture.
Alibreeze:  Sounds good!



Redhaired Local:  So, I mean, if you're looking for a wife...
Alibreeze:  And we're done here!  Let's hit the ruins, mom!
Tavi:  I rule the ruins and I ruin the rules!!
Redharied Local:  ...so that's a maybe?  Call me!!



Alibreeze:  Hey, could I get an extra machete before I head into the jungle?
Potbellied Merchant:  Sure, and how about a future husband to go with it?
Alibreeze:  And we're done here.  Jungle time!



Tavi:  Wow, you're gardening!
Alibreeze:  No, mom, just hacking these vines because they're in our way.
Gurgalmesh:  Burn it to the ground!
Alibreeze:  Appreciate the enthusiasm, big guy.  Let's make that our back up plan.
And after avoiding the need for the aforementioned back up plan, they move on into the jungle.



Alibreeze:  Pippin, are you trying to stage gorgeous pictures of me again?
Pippin:  What?  Of course no...yeah.  I really am!  A lot!!
Alibreeze:  (sigh) Ok, just try to stay out of my way while I'm doing jungle exploration stuff.
Pippin:  The art of screenshots cannot be denied, young lady!
Alibreeze:  I could sick Gurgalmesh on you.
Pippin:  I will try to stay out of your way.



Tavi:  Hey, sweetie!  Are you making a sand castle?
Alibreeze:  Umm, no.  This isn't sand and I'm actually carefully moving dirt away from what might be priceless artifacts.
Tavi:  ...so a dirt castle?
Alibreeze: …yes, mom.
Tavi:  K.  I'm gonna invite your cousin to join us.



Pippin:  OHMYGOSH!!!  Alina grew up so beautiful!!!
Well, she is a descendant of Nessy.
Pippin:  Adopted daughter.  No shared genetics.
Beautiful, therefore direct descendant, because logic!
Alibreeze:  Okay, I'm just gonna go jungle explore while you two fight it out.



Alibreeze:  Hmm, the dirt is holding together in a clump, but it's kind of shaped like...
Alina:  Oww, OOOWWWW!!!  Fireflies!!  Literal fireflies!!!



Tavi:  Oooo, pretty!!!
Alina:  HELP ME!!!
Tavi:  Oh, alright, magic time!



Tavi:  Chillio!!
Alina:  …why did you bring me to this horrible place?



Tavi:  Are you interviewing that statue?
Alibreeze:  Looking for clues so I don't trigger traps, mom.  Really need to focus, so I can't have any distractions, okay?
Tavi:  Psh, we're not distracting...oooo water!!  CANNONBALL!!!
Alina:  I'M ON FIRE AGAIN!!!
Alibreeze:  (sigh) Not distracting at all, guys, thanks.  OW!!



Alibreeze:  Yep.  Poisoned.  Awesome.  K, next puzzle...



Alibreeze:  ...yeah, that's not encouraging.
Tavi:  Look, sweetie!  I made a friend!!



Alibreeze:  Oh, hello there!
Boneita:  Greetings, young lady.  You're not a tomb robber, are you?
Alibreeze:  Nope!  I'm an archaeologist.  Totally just here to take things for my own monetary benefit for the sake of history.
Boneita:  Oh, that's fine then.  The treasure's through there.
Alibreeze:  Thanks!
And indeed, Alibreeze finds her way to the treasure.



Alibreeze:  Alina, you want to give me a hand with this lid?
Alina:  No.
Alibreeze:  Oooookay.



Alibreeze:  YES!  Alright, crew, let's head back to the house and authenticate some loot.
Alina:  Oh, heading away from the literal fireflies.  Yes.  I'm in!



Alina:  Ugh!  Seriously?!?  Worst.  Vacation.  EVER!!
Pippin:  But inside, Alibreeze managed to find the Easter Bunny!!



Alibreeze:  Really, Pippin?
Pippin:  I mean...it's...look at it!



Alina:  I don't think anything could make this vacation worse, Aunt Tavi.
Tavi:  Challenge accepted!
Alina:  Wait, what?
Tavi:  Calling the cute boys!!



Pippin:  In the front is Lamar, the childhood chess foe who Alibreeze accused of being an insecure child, and in the back is Holden, but not wearing a skirt anymore.
Alibreeze:  Ugh!  Not another distraction!
Alina:  Oh, I mean, if you're not gonna spend time with them...
Alibreeze:  Have at 'em.



Alina:  Ugh, Aunt Tavi!  Are you seriously transportalating in to chaperone?
Tavi:  You betcha!  By the way, what does "chaperone" mean?
Alina:  Ugh!
Tavi:  Woot!  Now it's the worster vacation ever!!



Pippin:  And we end with a shot of the lovely Alibreeze in her jammies authenticating some artifacts.
Alibreeze:  Yeah, we got low on potions of plentiful needs, so we actually slept for the first time since I hit my teen years.
Tavi:  I slept in a bed!
And as her first six days of teenhood come to a close, Alibreeze is already 8 levels into her unique skill, has accomplished 3 out of the 4 levels of her aspiration, and thanks to a teen mood swing and some temple traps, she's also knocked out 4 emotional whims!

I'm confused. How can Alina be adopted....oh I see. She's the daughter of Simeon and Dahlia (who Nessa adopted).
Alibreeze looks a lot like her handsome daddy.
Holden aged up a looker!

So odd that Tavi can't resurrect Simeon. Why some random guy but not Simeon?

Yeah, I'm not sure why she can't resurrect Simeon.  She's managed to bring back a few different other ghosts, but just can't bring him back.
Yeah, Alina came from the Dahlia and Simeon genetics, so no direct tie to Nessy, but Alina sure turned out lovely!!  Not unlike Holden  ;=)
