Thanks everyone! Artsygirl, I wish I could forget about vampires sometimes. My first choice of spouse for Hazel turned vamp.
Adult, and Responsible?
The cake found you then?
Hazel: Shut it. I was just testing you.
That's what they all say...
Hazel: Please no wrinkles, please no wrinkles...
You still look beautiful.
Hazel: I haven't aged up yet.
Savannah is next up to the cake. Although I have no idea why she is wearing her wedding dress.
Savannah: Because you forgot to switch my formalwear to something different.
That could be why, yes.
Hazel: It's okay, I'll blow the cake away for you!
Jamie Jolina: Mmmm, tasty.
I hope you mean the cake, Jamie.
Harry: Ahh!
Oh, sorry, I forgot about you.
Harry: That's nice.
You were at work during the party.
Harry: It's not a very good party if it's over by 9pm. Next time, though, remember. I don't like having my shower interrupted by the inevitable flow of time.
That's a bit philosophical for you.
Harry: Got it off the soundie at work.
Harry's the only one that got a makeover. I decided it was time he got rid of the hat. I won't show adult pictures of the two girls, because they look pretty much the same.
Hazel's not doing badly at her career. She's been progressing at the rate of a promotion a day, basically doing nothing but raising her career, eating and sleeping. That'll slow down in the last few levels, but hopefully she'll be able to move in about a sim week or so from here.
Hazel: Told you I was awesome.
If you stand there being self-congratulating you won't get anything done.
Hazel: And, as you can see, it's painstaking work being an investigator. Clues can be tiny, subtle, barely noticeable unless you have a keen, trained eye. You then need a sharp mind to piece everything together. It's a job only for the very best of sims. It's of critical importance to the town of Sunset Valley that every crime is solved, else there'll be total anarchy. The world may even implode...
So, what difficult puzzle are you actually solving?
Hazel: Someone's lost their engagement ring.
Ah, yes. The world will be imploding any second.
Hazel: I've found something! I've found something!
I think you possibly could have found that without the magnifying glass.
Meanwhile, back at home, the meeting of NPCs has begun.
Pizza Guy: That'll be £30 please.
Savannah: Be my friend?
Pizza Guy: No. You ordered a Hawaiian. Pineapple on pizza is an abomination.
Savannah: No, it's the best thing ever!
--two hours later--
Pizza Guy: It's horrible!
Savannah: It's awesome!
(This part was dedicated to Chris and Tom, who've spent many an afternoon at work having this exact argument.)
Can everyone please welcome Jessica to the family. Savannah is now friends with the adoption worker and best friends with little Jessica.
So, Jess. How do you like your new home?
Jessica: Om nom nom.
Is your room alright?
Jessica: Om nom nom.
Fine. If you won't talk to me, I'll just show everyone some pictures of Stephen instead. He's such a happy toddler.
Tune in next time to see Stephen become a child, the return of Hector, and Hazel's choice of spouse.
