Cory - regular woohooty text, major attraction currently has 2 children with Jane's sister Joan, but Jane doesn't know
First day at her new job! Jane was super excited. She new she wouldn't get far without a degree but college just never interested her. She hated high school, why would she CHOOSE to go to a bigger, harder school? But it would be a nice change. New people, new place.
or so she thought
"Hey Maxiums! I swear I see everyone from the coffee house here all the time. Are you stalking me? Hahaha"
"Jane! I'm here because I've missed you. The place is not the same without you. Are you sure I can't convince you to come back?"
"No way! I needed change. I get bored if I stay at one place to long. You knew that when you hired me!"
"Well, since you don't work for me anymore, how about I take you out for a drink later?"
"Whats going on! Jane? Maximus?!"
"I thought you and I had something?"
"Oh no no no, Cory. It's not what it looks like. Max was just asking me to come back to work at the V. I promise, that's all!"
"Alright, I guess. I think he has a thing for you. I saw the way he was looking at you!"
"Don't worry sweety, you're the only woohooty text for me" and she winked at him. phew, that was close
"Alright Janie! You're going to get that promotion today!" Sometimes you just have to talk yourself up to get motivated.
Constance heard the door close behind Jane when she left for work hruumph, that child is never going to succeed, always jumping from one thing to the next. Now where was 1? 141, 000...145,000
"I can't believe it! I reached the highest point in any writers career! I am number one!"
"My life is now complete"
(in other words, Constance has achieved both her LTW to be a prof. author and reached the top of the writing career )
She felt complete. All those hours of working had finally paid off. She was a famous author and now she was a RICH author. "Perhaps I should go on vacation?" She
wondered
Since Jane turned out to be a disappointment in her mother eyes, Constance decided to drop in on Joan. Perhaps this child of my womb turned out to be something
"What have you been doing with your life? That's my name your carrying around with you!"
"What's this I hear about 2 ******* children? What? Can't you get a decent man to marry you?"
"I don't know what your problem is lady, but you had better back off!"
"You can't stop me from meeting my grandchildren!"
"Mommy, Whos the crazy old lady?"
"Oh aren't you beautiful! You're the good one aren't you?"
"There is no way I am letting that batty old hag sink her claw into my girls. NO WAY"
"Listen Joan, I'm rich now and those are my granddaughters, I'm sure we can work something out?"
"I am not a morning person! This job is getting old, FAST. Hey Cory wanna hop in the shower.....Cory?"
Cory had slipped out in the middle of the night but not without running into Constance. He knew that she knew Joan's babies her his. She never said anything to him but he could tell how much she loathed him.
"You had that tramp over again last night! What have I told you about have men here?"
"You will not disrespect me like that in my own house!"
"I have had enough of you old woman! You're hateful and selfish and never gave a **** about me!"
"I hope you and all your precious books rot!"
"You ungrateful little witch! I have sacrificed and sacrificed for you! I gave up half my life for you! All you are is a good for nothing little 🐸🐸🐸🐸!"
"Oh yeah, well lets see how well you do with out me around to feed you and clean up after you! I'm out of here!"
What Constance didn't realize was that while Jane had been in charge of getting the mail and paying the bills, she had also been sneaking away with original copies of all of her best sellers. Which Jane sold for a ridiculous amount of money. She could have afforded the huge 4 br Victorian house on the corner, or even bought Meadow's old place. She instead settled on a small 1 br across town for no other reason than because it was farther away from her mother than her other options.
"This place is a dump! Who decorated this?! UGH!"
"Cory, come quick! I've had a bad day. We have a whole house to have fun in..."
Cory never responded.
"Well that's a first. I wonder what his problem is."
"Hey Titus! I was just thinking of you. Want to come over and see my new pplace? I could really use a friend right now....Yeah, I walked out this morning... Stupid *****....ok!"
"Hey hey! Come on in old friend!"
"You sold your Mom's books to buy the house?! HHAHA She's going to be so mad when she finds out!"
"I'm so glad your here!. I've really missed you. You're my best friend in the world. You know that right?"
"You know you can count on me! We've known each other forever! I will always be here for you."
"Oh Titus!"
One thing led to another and they found themselves in the shower together. Jane had never felt such a connection before. Cory is good but this is great!
"Listen Janie, this shouldn't have happened. You know I'm with Vera. Heck we were high school sweethearts! I'm sorry but we made a mistake."
"How can you say that! This night has been one of the best nights of my life! We have a connection! We're soul mates!"
"No Jane! We're not! I'm with Vera! I love her! I don't think we should see each other for a while. I gotta get out of here"
"Please don't leave Titus! I love you!"
Poor Jane. She lives in an ugly house with an aching heart. Titus sped out of the house as fast as his feet could carry him. He had a girlfriend! He's not the kind of guy to mess around!
Jane was having a hard time coping. She had her own place and ore cash than she knew what to do with. But her heart ached for more. She wanted Titus. Wanted him in the forever kind of way. He stopped answering her calls or texts. It had been days since the wonderful night he had come over. She tried redoing the house. She tried buying a big expensive car. She watched far too many hours of TV. Life was just empty
So desperate not to feel so broken and unwanted, she sought attention out of anyone willing to give it. Even her old boss Maximus.
She even went to her father for help. Heavens knows she wouldn't go to her mom. He was, of course, useless in the advice department but he did offer her a job at the police dept with him. Jane figured a job change might do her some good.
She even tried to start some family bonding and hosted Feast Day at her house. Hal wouldn't stop crying over his recently deceased girlfriend and for some reason Joan refused to bring her kids with her. Jane awkwardly made herself look busy until the meal was over and Hal left.
Joan at least attempted to make nice and chat. Jane eve talked her into calling her oldest over for some trick or treat fun
But really is just turned into babysitting. Apparently Joan had a hot date.
"It's really late, Don't you think it's time you came and got your kid??"
Needless to day, when she received a woohooty text from Cory, she was happily surprised
"Hey, can I come to your place for some fun?"
Jane was in desperate need of 'fun'
"I'm so glad you came over. I've been thinking about you a lot. Did you still want to give living together a try..hey? Whats wrong?"
"Living together? HA! You don't care about me. You only used me. Now I'm using you. How does it feel Jane?"
"Used you?! I never used you! We were on the same page until you got all weird and clingy!"
"You broke my heart Jane. I loved you. I offered you my heart and you tossed it aside!"
"Oh Cory, I'm so sorry. I never meant to hurt you"
"Save it Jane! It's over! I never want to see you again!"
Jane broke down into tears. Her already wounded heart hurting that much more
"WAit! Don't leave like this! We can fix things. Get back to like they were before"
"I don't want to fix things with you! I never want to see your ugly face again!"
"Then Why did you come here! You came to me!"
"That's right I did. I want you to know my pain, my humiliation! You're a useless, selfish brat just like your mother!"
jane followed in out into the cold. How DARE he compare her to her mother! He was not about to have the last word
"Oh yeah? I cheated on you! Loads of times! And you're terrible in bed! HA!"
Winter was harsh that year. Relentlessly cold. Feet of snow. Lonely.
In the weeks that followed her break up with Cory she had tried dozens of times to patch things up with him. He had even turn Max against her. She hated her job at the police station and her sister was oddly distant though she lived in the house just behind her. Jane felt like she'd hit rock bottom.
"Hey Titus. I know you said you wanted space, but I could really use a friend. Can we please hang out sometime? I'm throwing a party for my birthday. Maybe you could come over early and talk to me while I bake the cake?"
Titus sure was a site for sore eyes! She was so please he had come. But the second their eyes met, all the heat and passion from the last time they were together flared up. She couldn't help herself. She threw herself into his arms and to her great relief he held onto her tightly.
If the igloo is a rockin', don't come a knockin'
"I am so in love with you Jane! I have thought about every day. Can we give 'us' a chance?"
Needless to say, Jane didn't get much in the way of party decorations up and Titus had to run to the store at the last minute to buy a cake... things were looking up for Jane.
Ohhh the drama and the woohooing! Haha I love the dress in the post where she woohoos with Max in the leaf pile. Where is it from? I have a feeling there is gonna be a "oh god who's the father post"
Just introducing the first matriarch for the challenge. Her name is Merdakah Zolo. Merdakah is Bahassa (my first language, english is my fourth) and means 'Freedom'.
I have cherrypicked her personality, but the generations after her will be a roll of the dice.
Merdakah Zolo:
Athletic (the family trait and the only one that will always be picked);
Commitment Issues;
Diva;
Dramatic;
Rebellious.
She likes hamburgers, rock (love that station) and the color yellow. She's a libra. Her LTW is to become a superstar athlete.
Her world will be Appaloosa Plains, so that I can do some things on the side like breeding horses and have the legacy live in on a ranch.
I love the uni, it's as fun as the TS2 uni was. It took me some time to appreciate how Uni works in TS3, but now I'm down with it. So all generations will get a degree. Since in a drom you can't control the other sims present, all daughters (no boys will be born) will join the Sorority.
I'll not write a story, but will report in semi-regularly using four/five screenies at the most and a written synopsis of the most important happenings.
