#given my usual reaction to a Sim refusing to give up plasma peacefully

And then Eliza P. rejected Alice’s attempts for a friendly feed, so powers dummy it was! Since the pair have plenty of plasma fruit on hand again now that they’re back at home, I just had Alice make her hallucinate for a bit, for funsies. :p Then Victor mesmerized her to get a tiny bit more XP. Hey, I did it to him enough times, he deserves to be on the other end once or twice!

Once she woke up, Eliza P. was (understandably) done with their shenanigans and headed home. This left Victor with just a SLIVER of XP left to go to make Grand Master. I figured a Dark Mediation should push him over the edge -- and it did! He’s now the highest rank of vampire, with all the powers that implies! And it implies a lot, as I had been sort of hoarding his power points to make sure he had enough for the power he was required to get for his aspiration, Tamed Thirst. With that purchased, I also grabbed Cast Hallucination (for funsies), Garlic Immunity (cheap and useful), Vampire Creation (what, maybe he’ll want to make a vampire in the future), and Mist Form (now he has options when it comes to his teleportation)! This did require him to take some weaknesses, though -- like Alice, I ended up taking both levels of Nightmarish Sleep, simply because neither of them actually sleep all that much. Those coffins downstairs are mainly for show. And woohoo. XD So that was pretty awesome.

Also awesome? While all this was going on downstairs, Emma managed to get a high score on the typing game on the upstairs computer and completed the Rambunctious Scamp aspiration, giving her a permanent boost in earning physical skills! That’s two of the child aspirations completed on her, yay~ Dunno if I’m gonna go for a third, given she should PROBABLY age up to a teenager soon, but I”m hoping to at least get her to play a few more rounds of chess for the mental one.

So yeah, after all that, I think we’re leaving the Van Dort-Liddells in a good place! Always a little sad to leave my OTP, but other families must be played. And besides, the next one is the family that’s going to get the most use out of Get Famous. Next week -- back to the McFlys, and Marty and Jennifer go out on a date!
