VeronaHills, Round Nine: Mann

Lunch with Cornwall Capp, the village's pride of the dance world, was an opportunity Junior couldn't afford to fumble.

Then again, affordability had never been one of life's concerns for the Mann heir. Post Wagyu cheeseburger, Junior rose from his chair, turned, and released evidence of his stomach's gastronomic capabilities across the dining table. He made a giddy remark to do with the concept of "better out than in", but Cornwall was unmoved.

"Urgh!" the moustached maestro uttered with malaise. "Did you do that on purpose?"

Junior spun to face his guest and feigned shock. "Oh dear! I didn't know I had that in me. Sorry. What were you saying about tango?"

A new hairdo and a stern parental talking to made Junior feel like a new man; one who didn't find farts amusing and had a genuine interest in getting to know the family of his soon-to-be fiancée. That included people who married into the Capp family - he'd be just like them, soon enough. Just as soon as he ran the ring past Juliette for approval. How big were lady fingers, anyway?

Lana marvelled at the miracle of Junior setting aside his martinis for marriage as she drew a bath that evening. She was gingerly dipping a toe in the water when she wavered and withdrew her leg for balance. Her foot collided with a candle, which met the bathmat in a lit up streak. She yelped and scrambled for her cell phone.

The representative from the fire department, a young man named Roberto Miceli, was not best pleased at the scene. In the time it took for Lana to throw on her spring nightdress and evacuate the bathroom, the flame had disappeared under a flood of toppled candlewax. His words descended into lecturing territory as he described the scene of the Montague restaurant fire, and how his team needed to be ready for "real emergencies" such as that. In the drawing room behind them, Lana heard Rich clear his throat and scrape his chair away from the chessboard.

"Oh dear," Lana replied. "You don't know who we are, do you?"

Under the cold light of a droning lamp, within walls grey and damp, Rich laughed as the fireman came to. He had a whole monologue ready to go about the foolishness of seeing his wife's predicament as unimportant, with an explanation of the cow-faced creature rumbling and swishing its prickled vines beside him. He usually took the time to brag: "What do you think of my friend here? A faerie gifted her to me." Alas, said creature was ravenous, and Rich barely had time to grab a vine and dramatically swing himself up to look down with a grin before the fireman was happily consumed. Not to worry, of course: the glowing yield was collected from the udders, and Rich slipped into a black car, with his cape totally unblemished.

Thanks to the fireman's donation, lovely lady Lana had a better shot of living to see grandchildren.

Lana wanted to buy a business. As I promised no cooking this time.. she opened a lil fashion shop. Expensive sort, of course.. but some cheaper items included.

Remodelled a copy Knotthole Toy Store for this, as it was nicely small.

She hired Helen to work after school, Helen was very interested of fashion. Also she hired random townie (When installed the hood at first place I forgot to nuke townies, can see I had a long hiatus)

It was soon late, and as setup was done all ready for big opening at Saturday, the next day.

VeronaHills, Round Eleven: Mann

In the etiquette lesson commissioned by mother in his youth, Junior was instructed to consider patience as a virtue. He yawned and left.

That past self, that boy, golden but gaudy, was a distant memory for today's Junior. You see, he was reading a book, and he didn't have time to think about childhood. The title intrigued him first (Moby-Dick, just hilarious), but there was also the whale part. Junior had recently jumped from diving to whale tracking - the job was easier when you could stay on the boat. Perhaps he would find a white whale in real life!

Oh - he also had a kid of his own now. Juliette liked the name Patience, so the virtue now wriggled in his arms in a way that meant he couldn't possibly get bored and leave. In between feeds and changes and cuddles and babytalk, he'd sneak snippets of The Whale story. The hours a baby kept were rather erratic and his dreams started to get weird in combination with whaling literature; giant pale babies caused great alarm to the crew at sea, as they bobbed on the waves and babbled and snatched at their sails.

Lana was relieved that the abandoned etiquette lesson all those years ago hadn't blocked Junior from the joy of marrying a well-to-do girl becoming a parent (she never begrudged his early exit, the teacher likely wasn't engaging enough). Patience was such a delightful doll, beaming in ribbons and bows and cornflower blues picked out by nana.

Just... Rich was being distant lately. The matriarchal thing was quite the pill for him to swallow - it was unusual to see Junior on Juliette's arm, not the other way round - but it was worth it. Lana tried to cheer him with words like investment and merger, but he waved her off with wordless grunts and went for long walks. The recent business trip to the city seemed to have energised him, but also put a lot into his mind.

What a brilliant mind it was, too. Lana hoped Patience would be just as clever and powerful one day (and secretly, a little more).
