#grunt round

[beikonsims]

Opal and Jenny continued to be friends both at work and outside of it. They especially needed support now with their family situations.

Opal didn't want to complain about her son when Jenny was still grieving after her husband. She avoided bringing it up and instead tried to elevate the atmosphere by asking her friend about the kids.

Only once Jenny started bragging about her son and how much he's been doing to help her and the youngest siblings, she just couldn't stop.

It made Opal feel like she failed in parenting and annoyed her for the rest of the evening.

He's ":D"

Jenny: Why is he staring at me...? Just ignore him, Jenny. You're here to meet the new neighbor.

Loki: "Word of advice: don't get too close to Mrs. Smith. Her husband's supposedly some asylum seeker from Sixam, but I have my doubts... Their technology is far superior... Space ships capable of intergalactic travel, blasters that fire lasers. If they wanted the Commander back, why haven't they just abducted him?"

Kristen: "Wow... Thanks, I guess, for the warning? But... why does any of that matter? I don't really care about sci-fi stuff."

Loki: "Sci-fi, as the name suggests, is fiction. This is our reality. Do try and catch up."

I am resetting my strangetown/ pleasantview for the third time.

In the first round of college, Tank moved alone to an apartment in La Fiesta Tech.

Ripp called him to invite to hang out with Ophelia and Johnny, so he said yes.

Then he apologized to Johnny for being an asshole to him in high school and he's trying to change.

A Brief Montage: The Truck Stop, feat. Muffy Landgraab

For some reason, I thought I needed to document the process by which Muffy Landgraab (local real estate mogul who has only become slightly less evil after transing her gender) set up the Strangetown Truck Stop.

She hired as many local teens as she could get her hands on... most of whom are just kids looking to get out of the house for any amount of time, and don't really care about specifics.

Ripp Grunt, in particular, is happy to have the part time job, but is #processing his parents' divorce to anyone who will listen.

Opal still felt bad after everyone left, but Buzz just learned to turn a blind eye and reassure her everything was fine. At worst they will have a case of bad poopsies.

Despite their promise, Buzz still made one last attempt for the week to call Ripp. He thought his son might be interested to know about the birthday party and at least on this special day say a few words to his now elderly father. Unfortunately, Ripp still refused to have a friendly chat.

The Grunts spent the rest of the Sunday afternoon just enjoying their company in the usual quiet manner. Reading books and finally getting to enjoy the one newspaper Tank didn't steal.

That's it for the short week with the Grunts. Next I'll be rolling over next door to Tank and Puck at the Grunt-Summerdream house.

Nova: Another alien hybrid!

Johnny and Ripp bring their much-anticipated nooboo into the world! Say hello to Juniper!

Ripp is a mouth breather. I think he's also still confused how the baby got here.

Johnny and Ripp have a heartfelt moment knowing they'd be signing over their rights to Juniper. They'd still be able to visit any time and they'd still be her dads.

Juniper celebrates her birthday with family and dads' friends!

She joins the Smiths and Jenny is elated. Jacklyn is also excited to have a little sister/cousin! She spends the rest of the afternoon playing Don't Wake the Llama with her brother.
