No Curtain Call

Round 7 - November 2039

As it's winding down to zero, I am yours like a hero
I'll see this through, there's so much me and you
Take this enemy together, fight these demons off forever
Forever, forever, forever
Maroon 5


Satitu was finally getting accustomed to his life on Earth. And it had only taken him 3 years! He loved his life with Celeste and was anxious to have some kids of their own. She had been busy trying to help the Grays with Connor and appeasing Mayor Brown. But he had a plan to take her mind off of all of that.........

Gettin' Grown

Round 7 - October 2039
Terrence Coners is 48, Tabitha is 49, Imani and Imara are 12 (Kenny and Kayla Coners are 25, Christa Brown is 14)
Hey little boy you're not allowed to stay
You have to evolve inevitably
And I've sure come a long way
The road up ahead was so unclear
Back slided down a bottle of beer
Nobody knew if I would make it here
I'm gettin grown, I'm getting grown
Cee-lo


Terrence loved his life. He was the official architect for LaQuest Beach, he had three great kids and a wonderful wife, and had his first grandchild on the way. It got no better than that.......

Feelings

Round 7 - September 2039 - LBU/BTU
Caleb Henderson, Ricky Cormier, Meadow Thayer, and Ginger Newson are 19 (Slade Willis is 25, Kimberly Jackson is 19)

I'm a stubborn girl, you're a stubborn guy
Could be why we fight all the time
If it's not your way, then it must be mine
Can't communicate, can't even compromise
----------------------------------------------
I just can't decide, if it's you I want
Don't wanna choose between having you in my life
Or losing you for real because I caught feelings
Floetry


They were dating. If someone had told him that he would fall for his best friend, he would have called them a liar. The day that Ginger told him that she was in love with him was one of the most confusing days of his life. As she sat there, waiting on him to respond to her declaration, he really looked at her. She was beautiful, and he had no idea how he had never noticed it before. And who was the first person he called whenever something happened, be it good or bad? It wasn't his parents, though he supposed it should be. It was her. So it really made no sense that they weren't together. So they both stopped seeing other people and concentrated on each other. And it had been the best five months of his life.

Happy Birthday to Ya!

Round 7 - August 2039

Quite a few birthdays this time!


First up is little Jordyn Pace. She inherited her mother's gold colored eyes and is already a very striking young lady. While she's a very active toddler, Charity can already see some of Derick's grumpiness in little Jordyn!

Feeling Sorry

Round 7 - July 2039
Jacob Ellison 39, Lorelai is 33, Kiara is 1

I feel no sympathy, you live inside a cave
You barely get by, the rest of us are trying
There's no need to apologize,
I've got no time for feeling sorry
Paramore


Jacob loved being a father. While he was happy for Metal Mellow, he wasn't sad that he chose to not go on tour with them. He would much rather be home with Kiara and Lorelai........

There for you

Round 7 - June 2039
Last update/ Next update
Gavin Newson is 23, Gallagher is 9, Gabriella is 7, Georgia and Garrett are 6, Gretchen Chin is 32 (Kayden Carr is 9, Aidan and Hayden Brown are 5)

I wanna be there for you
Someone you can come to
Runs deeper than my bones
I wanna be there for you
I wanna be there for you
Flyleaf


The kids were really missing Ginger and had been asking for a pet for the longest so Gavin decided to surprise them with a dog. He just hoped that they would take care of it the way they needed to!

Superman

Round 7 - June 2039 - Mini-Update
Kenny and Kayla Coners are 24 (Allison Tavem is 47)

There is no other place that I'd rather be
There is no other face that I'd rather see
The way that you do me is somthin' like a movie
Waking up to you is just like waking up to Superman
Monica


Allison Tavem was pissed. She had to read in the society pages about her own son's wedding! She had been trying to reach out to Kenny for months, only to be ignored. Regardless of how he felt about it, she was still his mother!

City Council Meeting 2039

Round 7 - May 2039
Mayor: Christian Brown; Financial Advisor: Kimber Henderson; Healthcare Advisor: Joe Carr; City Architect: Terrence Coners; Public Safety Advisor: Tanner Knowles


Christian decided to have regular meetings of the city council to take care of issues that arise.
"Any new business to discuss?" he asked.
"Well the city has received a public safety grant worth $15,000 and I think the money should be used to update the police station. Crime hasn't been an issue lately, but we want to keep it that way. We would also like to get the community more involved as well," Tanner said.
"I agree, the station could use some updating. The money was specifically set aside for public safety so I think that is a great idea," Christian said.

Words I Never Said

Round 7 - May 2039
Last update/ Next update
Christian and Alana Brown are 42, Aidan and Hayden are 5, Christa is 13

It's so loud inside my head
With words that I should have said
As I drown in my regret
I can't take back the words I never said.
Lupe Fiasco ft. Skylar Grey

Lots of pic spam :)


"I've booked us a vacation. We're going to Twikki Island tomorrow. I think it'll be good for the kids," Christian said.
"You don't respect my business at all do you?" she asked.
"What? What are you talking about?"
"Nothing, Christian. I guess I can close the restaurant for a few days," Alana said.
"Oh, yea. Well I figured since you're the owner, it would be no problem."
"I have employees too Christian. Who work by the hour."
"So pay them anyway. We need this, Alana."

Happy Birthday to Ya!

Round 7 - May 2039

Only one birthday this time, and it is the future queen of Vasadori!


Arwen Vasan is 1 year old now and definitely has her dad's tilted eyebrows, which makes her look as if she's frowning all the time. Her red eyes are already commanding attention, and she hasn't even taken the throne yet!

* I aged Arwen up in bodyshop and she has that haughty royal look about her! She's going to be a very interesting queen indeed! She has only 1 nice point, 8 outgoing, and 9 active so while she might not be nice about it, she should get quite a bit done for the people of Vasadori.

* I've actually been considering doing a spin off story once Arwen becomes a teen. I've been writing up a background for Vasadori and it would give more specific details about the war that took place. For the most part, the story would follow her to the school she will attend in Vasadori and her road to becoming the queen. There would be other elves at the school of course, sort of a Hogswart for elves if you will :). I haven't decided if I want to go through with it, but I am writing it on my own for fun. If I did it, I would do it separately from this blog and it wouldn't be updated as often since it would take more time to actually stage the pictures instead of just following the gameplay. This is far off as she just turned 1, so I have time to decide :).

Break

Round 7 - April 2039
Last update/ Next update
Corbin and Amanda Gray are 42, Connor is 6, Alex is 5

Break away from everybody
Break away from everything
If you can't stand the way this place is
Take yourself to higher places
Three Days Grace


Things were going better for Connor. He didn't feel so weird anymore. And his talks with Ms. Celeste were really helping. But he still didn't understand one thing: why the heck was he green?!

Ribbon in the Sky

Round 7 - April 2039 - Mini Update
last update/next update
Derick Pace is 46, Charity Jones is 31, Jordyn Pace is 9 months

Oh so long for this night I prayed
That a star would guide you my way
To share with me this special day
Where a ribbon's in the sky for our love
Stevie Wonder


"Marry me," Derick said early one spring morning.
"What?" Charity asked laughing.
"Marry me. Right now, today."
"Are you serious? I mean you've never brought up getting married before. Why now?"
"Because........I love you. More than I would have thought I was capable of. And that little girl in your arms just made my love for you grow. Because I can't see being without you. Because I want you to be my wife," he said.
"I.......yes. Yes I will marry you!"
