#PP: Stephen Tinker

[katatty]

"Isn't she adorable? I want to have ten of them."

"Not a bad idea, darling!"

[katatty]

Right, and that's the Tinker round all done! Pretty uneventful, but they're a cute family and make for a nice change of pace. They remind me a little of the Summerdreams with their whimsical vibe actually and I sometimes think I ought to have made them faries!

also, lol at me just leaving the posebox in the background

"Do you have any of this jack in the boxes, like, bigger?"

"We only have the one size, I make them all myself! So you could always comission something."

"Maybe. It's for a magic act."

"Wow! Awesome."

Next up in Veronaville are the Tinkers: Stephen, Wanda, Melody and Timmy. Melody is sick of being an unpaid babysitter and can't wait for college.

Monica is cool, but she doesn't quite compare to Timmy's dad, who gets a big hug when he's home from work.

[katatty]

Stephen actually rolls a lot of wants to play with the baby, which is so cute! Hopefully Timmy's not feeling too neglected in comparison. He doesn't actually have school right now since it's the summer!

[katatty]

The next morning, baby Chloe arrived! It's only reading back now I realise maybe having multiple sims named "Chloe" in the neighbourhood is a little confusing, but with a big uberhood I guess it's only a matter of time before you end up repeating names. I'm surprised it took this long! xD

[katatty]

It was nice to see Marla Biggs stop by, too Maybe looking for something for the nursury?

(Once they move out of the city, maybe Veronaville would be a nice place for Orion and Marla's little family? I haven't decided where they'll move yet!)

[katatty]

"Oh, I don't have any petits enfants just yet."

"But it doesn't hurt to be prepared, right?"

"I like your optimism."

[katatty]

"Are you sure you'll be all right at home?"

"I'll be fine, dear."

"Promise not to use the stove. I always worry..."

[katatty]

Still, though, the party wasn't all bad. It was nice catching up with Alexander, who she'd barely seen since he left for Le Tour! And it turned out Benedick was heading for Fiesta Tech, too, so she'd at least know somebody at the dorms...

[katatty]

Melody and her Dad talk career/college plans. Melody's working in the Oceanography career right now (which I completely forgot about), and hopes to maybe start up a band when she's at college. After that, she wants to do something smart and creative. She just doesn't see herself taking over the shop!

[katatty]

Wanda and Stephen are besotted with each other as always. Their toy store is doing well, too! But lately Wanda hasn't been feeling so good, so she stays home in bed while her husband tends to the shop.

Meanwhile, Aldric gets home from work, brings home a new friend, and catches up with an old one, Johnny Smith, on the phone.
