"Oh, Erik, that's wonderful news!" Kayleigh said into her cell phone. "I'll start packing right away. Well, our clothes at least, and the children's things. So will you be home tonight? I know, I know, you're doing a balancing act. Okay, go cut your next album. And take a great photo, so I can show the kids just what their Daddy looks like on next month's magazine cover. No, I'm not being snarky. Yes, yes. The kids and I will soldier through. I just miss you is all. Yes, I love you, too. Now go make your music. And I promise, I'll try to wait up." Although with two infants and a Toddler, she knew it highly unlikely she could keep herself awake. Sometimes, Erik's studio sessions ran far beyond the wee hours and right on into the early beginnings of the next day. It was nothing for him to walk in just after sunrise. Where he got the energy, she didn't know. But, he was well-loved. Beloved, in fact by his myriad of fans. He was a Global Superstar of some note. He still played concerts, cut albums and sat for photoshoots. All of this on top of his separate Entertainment career. His awards and trophies were growing in number, too. Who was she to stand in his way? Far be it for me. They would hate me for it.
Kayleigh looked down at her Toddler son, Jamison. "We have good news. The house Daddy is having built for us is now completed. We get the keys tomorrow."
Reaching down, she scooped the wee boy into her arms. "Say goodbye to this ancient place."
"Here and now is as good as any other," Joey said. "What do you say?"
"I say, if you're willing, then let's do it."
"Okay."
"Do you, Hayleigh Golden, take me for your husband?"
"I do, so long as you don't ask me to obey you, that is."
"Why would I do that?" Joey smirked. "With this ring, I thee wed."
"Can't do this properly without confetti and streamers," Erik said, launching a fistful into the air above them.
With that the seven of them moved into Erik's new mansion.
It was another late night for Erik. Kayleigh took solace in the fact that both Hayleigh and Joey were now home from work. The babies were fed, changed and fast asleep. Jamison, however, was still afoot. As she stood chatting with her sister in the second floor hallway, they suddenly heard a harsh, loud crashing sound from the room behind them. "What the heck!"
"G-g-ghost?" Hayleigh said, visibly shaken.
"No, this is not the castle. Unless this house was built on an old burial ground, it's too new for a ghost. It still smells of paint in here," Kayleigh advised. She opened up the door behind. "Unless, of course that ghost's name is Jamison."
"Jamison, what are you doing!"
"Shame on you, that was highly destructive and completely unnecessary. What have you to say for yourself, young man? And why did you do this right before our Housewarming Party this Saturday?"
"All right, since you don't have an answer for me, I'll teach you how to say I'm sorry."
The boy stood attentively, and for a moment Kayleigh thought she had gotten through to him.
Sadly, she was mistaken. He stood there resolutely and took a stance eerily distinctive of his father.
"Well, I can see that you're truly your father's son." Well, at least you get the belligerence from him.
Saturday arrived and despite having to all but follow behind Jamison to clean up his messes and his sporadic fits of destructiveness, the house was ready for company.
Jamison was very happy to see his cousin, Seraj, and gave him a great big hug.
Jamison was fully human, but he proved to be a Cantrell. Strong as an Ox.
Both the Golden's and the Cantrell's arrived for the party.
Some enjoyed the lavish dining room.
While still others meandered out onto the patio
More painting the past few days for Magnolia May. She has 7 masterpieces under her belt.
She took a part time job as a barista and got a promotion and raise.
She had been on track to have a nice savings until a small fire caused her to have to replace her stove and hood.
Her parents are wanting her to come home and then join them on the road. She wants to go into the music career, but she wants to have more money saved up. She is practicing her singing mostly in the shower and dreams of her next move.
~~~~~~~Have pics - will post later this evening ~~~~~~~~
Congratulations @DoloresGrey! That's not an easy feat to accomplish, Kudos! What's the little sweetheart's name? She's beautiful and her Daddy is very handsome.
Edit: I see you mentioned her name, Edita. I thought you were editing the post and missed that was actually her name. Opps! o.O
I decided that the Goths needed a little more excitement in their lives, so I moved an aging rocker in with them. This is Ian Riffsworth....let's see how long it takes him to wear out his welcome
I've prepared a build while waiting for the platforms update. It's another palace built on a cut hill at Chateau Peak. I faked the elevations using the foundations tool (and the right camera angles lol), but when the update finally rolls out, I can finally make it the way I want. And also begin furnishing the interiors.
Front Note the floating doors which is how tall I want the interior floors to be.
Side I will sink the gardens two steps down.
Rear Right now the foundations aren't touching the buildings (conflicting block clusters error) but from what I've seen with the Game Changers, the platforms will.
@SilentKitty This is the last one I restarted a few weeks back after the last patch. So far the bits of his story on this thread are all about this one. Yay, it feels good not to have to restart. Thanks for the read!
Marcus Flood has every reason to be smiling today--the work on his latest gentleman's club (this time in Strangerville) has just been completed, and he'll open it tomorrow. This is his third club in the Purple Palace chain, and he's still looking to expand
This lineup should be interesting! As dancers I have hired Eliza Pancakes, Lilly Feng, Bella Goth, and Beverly Bratwurst, along with 2 NPC's. This is actually Eliza's second chance--Marcus fired her from one of his other clubs for being lazy and mouthy. And I wonder if Beverly will show up with her wings? Oh, and one of my janitors is Bob Pancakes lol
Can I link tweets here? Because I got a LOT of tweets about how I killed Angela Pleasant via Anger for Lilith's aspiration.
Yes, and welcome! BUT you will have to get your participation points up and become a full forum member before they'll allow you to post links in the forum.

Hey everyone, This discussion thread has been absolutely super about being friendly, inclusive, light and funny, you guys are wonderful!
To keep it going in that direction I'd like to ask that we keep the politics out of here, I know how important it and how deeply people feel about their political beliefs but it is a topic that is fraught with contention, so, if you would, please edit the posts or delete them and post something less emotionally charged. Cheers.

Even the ghost of Dominic Fyres was dancing the night away.
And a cute moment from earlier in the day, as Larisa, Jenny & the pooch whiled away a rainy afternoon.
