graduation, extras

*** graduation extras ***

I think I like posting the outtakes separately when they're as plentiful as this. I wish I'd been doing it all along, so I could have my concise and well-planned story posts, and then my long-winded and rambling gameplay posts... but you know, I didn't. Ah, well ;)

the things that make you panic

May 2083 (prom) - Dallas Deppiesse (18) and Lucy Harris (16) // Elijah Roberts (17) and Melissa Fortney (15) // Vicky Garth (18) // Summer Phoenix (18) and Tyler Jackson (19).

*** Sorry, I just realized three of my four girls have long dark hair, so I hope that doesn't get too confusing - none of them are wearing the same style. The first section kind of banks on you already knowing who these characters are, so new readers might want to read the linked posts above first. Before you think you're going crazy, yes, the first half is written in a wandering second person POV - and I intend it that way ;)

Box of tissues warning, and maybe NSFW?...

Soundtrack, "Details in the Fabric," by Jason Mraz/James Morrison. ***

You're young. You're growing up by the very minute, but inside, you're not much different from one minute to the next. Not deep down, where it counts, where you still feel the same things you've always felt. You're still the same girl you've been all along.

*** updates on your favorite Lakeside Heights outcasts ***

This is something I've been meaning to do, though I probably won't do it very often. I do still play some of these move-aways and ex-girlfriend/boyfriends, so I'd like to update you all on what they've been up to, especially the ones you wouldn't hear about through any of my playable Sims. I figure if I've become attached enough to want to check up on them, then maybe some of you might be attached enough to care what they've been doing ;)

*sigh* If only I had time to tell all of their stories...

you were kind of right about Lucy

October 2080 (mini-update) - Dallas Deppiesse is 16.

"What the hell?" Vicky says. "Now you want to talk to me? It's been, like, five weeks. I've been calling. I've been by several times. Your sisters kept saying you weren't home."

Dallas says, "I know..."

"You told your sisters to say you weren't home, didn't you? That's really pretty lame."

you're doing it wrong

August 2080 - Orion Deppiesse is 47, Violet is 46, Dallas is 16, Delphie and Dakota are 10. (Lucy Harris is 14.)

Dallas Deppiesse just turned sixteen this month, and finally got his drivers' license. The Deppiesse family might live on Lakeshore Road, but they are deceptively not wealthy. Maybe it's having three kids in private school? But his parents do the best they can for Dallas. Orion says, "I got you a car!"

Dallas says, "That's not a car."

"Sure it is, when you're done with it," Orion says. "You're a smart kid, I'm sure you can figure it out."

the sweetest boy in the universe

April 2079 - Orion Deppiesse is 45, Violet is 44, Dallas is 14, Delphie and Dakota are 8.

April for the Deppiesse family starts with a bamboo tree fire, and apparently Sheba is the only one who noticed.
