So far, Leonidas is in the lead as the next heir. I'll start preparing his entry onto the blog but I'm going to keep the poll going a bit longer. I was silent on this story for quite a while, so I'm sure it'll take some people a while to realize I'm back at it. Either that, or they've moved on completely from the Silver story, but I'll still give it a little time to see if anyone else votes.
This part might be somewhat small. I didn't get to play for too long yesterday. I'll play a bit today (hopefully) so might have another update tonight or tomorrow.
While the Silver's slept in their beds, Madison decided to make a quick run to France to complete her opportunity with that $750 painting.
The trip was going to cost $3,000, but Madison was planning to pick up some nectar for Kat while she was there for a job opportunity she had. Otherwise, she couldn't justify the trip at that expense.
Tried getting a clearer picture of Madison, but it didn't work. She did buy her a sloppy jalopy. One day she might get a bit nicer of a car, but for now, it's wheel to save on all those taxi fares.
As soon as Madison made it to France, she headed straight to her French connection to turn in her painting.
Had I known how much money she would make off that $750 painting on this trip. I probably would have not completed it. While completing opportunities is completely allowed for all Gens, I feel this one was a bit on the extreme side. *Details below*
She went to the nectary and bought 6 bottles of cheap nectar. Spent less than $100 on that.
She was going to buy a bottle of expensive nectar to share with Kat when she got home, but the sales clerk told her that below the nectary was a tomb, and if you figured out how to enter, there was rumors of several old, great bottles that she could have for free.
Madison decided she had time for a wee bit of exploring and went to the depths of the nectary. She found several bottles of nectar to take home for the family. (Wish I had thought of that before I bought the nectar upstairs, but, at least that was cheap).
The next morning, while Madison slept in from her return trip home, Kat had breakfast with her kids. She enjoyed being able to slow down and enjoy these moments with the kids.
She was pretty career focused thru the twins childhoods and Zeke's baby and toddler years. Kat intended to really enjoy them now that she had achieved her life goal.
Shortly, the kids were getting on the school bus and Kat was leaving for work. The house was quiet while Madison slept in a bit longer. She had the day off, so she could catch up on the jet lag of travel.
Later that morning, Madison got up and went to the festival. She met a interesting fellow and they chatted for quite some time.
Madison learned he had three children at home, so she gifted him Kat's kids old IF dolls. None of them really took to the dolls and she could quit carrying them around. Win-win for everyone!
After work, Kat met Madison at the festival instead of her usually workout. They wanted to spend the day celebrating since neither girl had got to in some time. They both maxed out their careers, and all generation goals where complete. What better time to celebrate!
Just like old times, Kat and Madison found their favorite table at the Bistro and both ordered Apple Pie. Neither girl was particularly hungry, but really missed the ambiance of the place.
While Mom and Madison were having a long awaited, and sorely needed, girl's night out. The kids finished their homework together.
Leonidas suggested they go to the Diner and eat, instead of having leftovers.
After pie, the girls headed to Varg's since The Grind wasn't opened yet.
And what was a celebration without a bit of a drink to unwind and let loose?
By the time the girl's called it a night, the kids were already in bed asleep. They headed to bed, themselves.
Leonidas was taking his sweet time in the shower and missed breakfast with Mom and siblings. Kat was a bit sad. She really enjoyed these mornings together.
Since she didn't have to work today, she was still in her pj's, as was the kids.
Once the kids were on the school bus, Kat headed to the Dojo to complete another opportunity that she had....
And peep who is there in the background (in the middle, green shirt)...
None other than Jamie Jolina... who has gotten old!
I didn't figure Kat would go after her with such a vengeance, with Jamie being an elder. But once Kat got on a roll about Jamie, well... a dam just broke. The altercation turned ugly, really quick.
A slap across the face should have had Jamie backing off... but... nope...
Well... I guess you could say Kat said all that needed to be said.
After a nap, Kat sit down to have a quick dinner while the kids were doing their homework.
Kat heard there was a new family, with a couple teens and a child, that had recently moved to the neighborhood. So after homework and dinner, the Silvers headed to their house right down the road.
Catherine met Ty, and they instantly thought each other was attractive.
Leonidas met Cheri, but their attraction wasn't quite as instantaneous.
Zeke met little Aimee, and they were fast friends. Immediately playing tag together.
*Better pictures of the new family will come (I did show clear pics of them in CAS on the forums) in the next episode.
We're getting really close to the end of Generation One! Just waiting on the heir to age up.
**Madison's France Trip:
For bringing a painting worth $750, Madison made a little over $7,700. She spent less than $100 on nectar for a opportunity for Kat. Kat got $1,100 for turning in that opportunity.
After $3,000 for travel, $100 for nectar... the girls still profited a little over $5,700 for this trip. Again, I'll be more cautious in the future for accepting traveling type opportunities. While it is within the rules to accept and complete them, I had no idea we'd make that much money.
Also, I would have sent Kat, too, but I figured they'd make way less then they did and figured I'd save a bit by just letting Madison pick up the nectar. From now on, whoever gets the opportunity will have to do the traveling, too, if I decide to accept another traveling opp.
