The Oldies in TS1
This post from MtS portrayed the Oldies as hippies and you know what, I am inclined to agree. Here is my take on the Oldies in the TS1 timeline.
Herb and Coral being hippies and Myron and Irma being laid-back, wacky grandparents really tickles me somehow, cause Mary-Sue and Daniel become yuppies later, and though she was raised in a free-spirited household, she was always prim and proper and was always destined to be the cold, stiff career woman in the future.
Anyway, I always pictured Herb as a door-to-door salesman (he was described as crafty, so idk, maybe toys?) who gardens and Coral as one of those liberal moms who are passionate for local causes. I like @emperorofthedark's version of her as a librarian, and I see her as having study groups like Laura Dern in Palm Royale.
Myron was a retired, environmentally-conscious cameraman who spent his working years in Studio Town while Irma was a retired, superstitious secretary at a traveling agency.
Bruno Ruggbyrne is Coral's father who raised her single-handedly while working as a doctor cause his wife Mamie left them when Coral was young to join a cult (the Kine Society). He's a sweetheart but is probably the least wacky member of the family and so Mary-Sue takes quite a liking to him, much like how Lilith was close to Herb in @emperorofthedark's story.

judgement
according to my gameplay rules, since mortimer was smart enough to make his daughter get a prenup, don will get 100% of his cash assets at the time of his marriage to cassandra, plus a little bit of what he's earned in those 20 years since. this totals some $60k, which should be enough to support him post-divorce.
mary-sue has promised to find cassie a lawyer worthy of her, but has insisted in helping with some of the divorce procedures... the first being don's confession.

WELCOME TO STRANGEVIEW
oh hey its budgieflitter and her swap aus obsession again
descriptions are under the cut 🔽
CALIENTE + LOTHARIO = BEAKER
When Don got a date with the Caliente sisters, he thought he won a jackpot. What he did not expect, though, was to wake up next morning on an operation table in their basement. Will this test subject last or the sisters will have to look for a replacement soon?
GOTH = SPECTER
Turns out not only relatives are buried in local oligarch's graveyard. Ever since Mortimer's wife Bella mysteriously disappeared, he became more reclusive than he already was. She was not the only victim - all of his daughter Cassandra's fiancés seemed to disappear one by one. Will Alexander get used to living with ghosts? Can Cassandra ever find love again?
BROKE + DREAMER = GRUNT
Brandi and Darren found comfort in each other after a terrible tragedy struck their families, however it seems this comfort is about to crumble. Darren is determined to reach the stars someday, and Brandi would rather stay close to the ground. Will Dustin and Dirk ever get along? Will little Beau follow his stepfather's footsteps?
PLEASANT = SMITH
Daniel has been fascinated with space ever since his father's Mars expedition hit the news. Good thing he found a woman whose eyes reflect the beauty of the universe itself. Will Mary-Sue get her long-awaited promotion, and can Angela and Lilith make the right choices when it comes to love?
BURB = CURIOUS
Jennifer is interested in the vastness of universe, but for a different reason her brother is. Where is she from? What really happened on her father's Mars expedition? Was it anything like the experience her husband went through during his abduction? Maybe the answer is much closer than she thinks.
OLDIE
Oldies have been a long-time residents of Strangeview. Unable to fulfill her role as a Birth Queen, Coral escaped with her beloved with a tiny alien aboard. Will Herb realize that the result of his last mission as a Pollination Technician is somewhere nearby?
okayyyy i had so much fun making this. the idea hit me literally yesteday and i was on the rideee hope u enjoy ^_^

Things were understandably still awkward between Violet and Mary-Sue, especially when he mentioned already getting married behind her back. She tried to be understanding of his weird decision, but had a hard time listening to him with the bitter charred pie in her mouth.
Only later he actually got to the main point of their meeting and explained they're trying for a baby. Mary-Sue had to sit down from the impact of the information, trying to wrap her head around her "little brother" already being set on having a family and actively trying for it.
She tried her best not to be judgmental. She realized if Coral was still alive, she'd be over the moon about it, but their mother was gone and Mary-Sue promised to look after Violet after all. Since her brother was an adult and she couldn't really forbid him anything, she just told him to be careful and not overdo it just for the sake of having a big family.

Cass isn't so lonely anymore! And looks like she won't have to worry anymore either. This house went from pretty empty to full!
Mary-Sue, Hamilton and Cassandra. A scorned trio coming together in love.
And another positive, I won't need a nanny! lol.
