Update

     So I was planning to continue this story with the Drimagard's move to Sims 4, but the children's generation gets mixed with another family whose story I am writing.  

     Sadly, I have a greater passion for the other family at this point so I am discontinuing the Drimagard's story.  If you want to see them they can be found as supporting cast in the O'Malley Tales beginning in the third Generation of the series.

     Thank you for everyone who has read through the story until now.

Chapter 1.23

     "That was a great movie," Danica said.

     "I'm glad you liked it."

     "I did actually," she smiled.

     "Did you like it well enough to go out again."
     "Sure," she said.

     "Then it's a date," Rohan said pulling her to him for a kiss.
     She certainly wasn't expecting anyone to interrupt them.
     "Rohan!"
     They jumped apart.  "Mom," he said.
     "Shame on you in.  What are you doing in broad daylight?" she chastised him.

     Danica smiled as she watched his mother grab him by the ear and pull him away.  He waved back at her and tried to reason with his mother as she dragged him along.
     Her smiled died when they turned the corner and went out of sight.  She liked him but something wasn't right.  He wasn't right and her instincts were clamoring at her.  But she did like him so maybe her instincts were wrong.

                                                                        

     "Hi Dr. Quinn," Jaessana said when she answered the phone.

     "Jaessana," she said warmly. "How have you and your family been?"

     Jaessana sighed hearing the tone of motherly affection in her voice.  Having never known her own mother and her relationship with Persephone strained by her dad's death, Jaessana sometimes considered Dr. Quinn a surrogate.  Dr. Quinn still knew more about mersims than Jaessana did.

     "I've been okay.  I know you're probably still busy from all the relocation's you've had to set up but I was wondering if you were able to find any other mersims?"

     "Hmm," Dr. Quinn hummed over the phone.  "I did find another family actually.  None of their members have ever been to Moonlight Falls though so I don't think they're related to you."

     "Oh," Jaessana said for a moment dissapointed by the news when she realized something.  "You said they were a family though.  Like with mer-children and teens?"

     "Yes. Why?"

     "I'm having trouble with Bailey.  She's so angry and unruly.  I thought at first it was just the move and not getting a horse but now I'm not so sure.  And I wasn't a mer as a teen so I just don't know if it's normal or not.  I need someone with experience."

     "I'll talk to them and see if anyone will come and speak with you."

   Trying to add to the story.  Got so much to do now...

Chapter 1.22

     When Bailey arrived at the bar a familiar color caught her eye.  She felt her lips pull into a smile but it wasn't humor she was feeling.  It was something almost...predatory.
     "Hope you haven't been waiting too long," she said as she stopped in front of Rolando.

     "Not long at all.  You sure you want to be here though.  It is a bar," he said standing up to greet her.
     "It's fine. It doesn't start rocking for another few hours anyway," she said leading the way into the bar.
     "Let's dance," she said pulling him toward the radio in the corner.

     Bailey smiled as Rolando watched her dance.  She didn't much understand it herself but ever since the move she's felt like there was some kind of second nature, a darker nature, inside her trying to get out.  His eyes on her as she danced soothed some of the clawing she felt rising in her soul.
     Rolando called it quits before she was ready to stop dancing but she contented herself with sipping from the drink he got for her.

     They sat on the couch and watched all the other sims in the bar talk, dance and generally have a good time.
     "Look at those two.  It looks like she's trying to eat the face off him," Rolando pointed to a couple across the room.
     "Just admit your jealous," Bailey said tickling him.

     "Maybe I am.  Let's show 'em how it's done," Rolando said kissing her.
     Bailey smiled to herself as a contented purring filled her ears.

                                                                        

     "I didn't know we were practically neighbors," Bailey said as she tripped over her feet on the way up to his house.
     "Yep it would be the neighborly thing to do to let you sleep here," he laughed as he caught her before she fell.
     "None of the lights are on.  Are you sure we won't wake anyone up," she said coyly and looked up at him through her lashes.
     "Not if we're really, really quiet," he whispered in her ear.
     Bailey laughed softly as she followed him through the silent house to his room.

     "Nice room you have here," she said when the door closed behind them.
     "Maybe we should give the bed a try.  See if it lives up to the room," he suggested pulling her into his arms.
     Bailey smiled and wrapped her arms around his shoulders, "I think we should."
     She opened for his kiss and they danced across his room to the bed.

                                                                        

     "Sweet.  No one's up yet," Bailey said to herself as she let herself into the house the next morning.
     Of course she spoke too soon.
     "Where have you been?" Jaessana screamed.
     Bailey whirled around as her mother stomped up to the door her finger waving like a sword ready to stab her.

     "I know I told you curfew was at nine.  Nine o'clock last night not nine this morning."
     "Chill out Mum," Bailey said rolling her eyes, "I'm home aren't I."
     "Oh no," Jaessana said, "I will not tolerate any more of this attitude.  You're grounded.  Go upstairs to your room where you will stay until your father drives you to school.  I will pick you up when classes let out and bring you here.  You're under house arrest until your attitude improves and you address me with respect. Go."
     With every word her mother wielded against her, Bailey felt the calm control she had gained from her night out wash away.  By the last order to leave she was positively seething with fury.
     "I'm not a child anymore. I'm sixteen years old," she yelled back.
     "Go," Jaesanna said again pointing forcefully in the direction of the stairs.
     Bailey stomped up each step before slamming the door to her room closed.

   Bad girl on the loose.  Lock up your sons, she's on the prowl.  Heehee.  Anyways that's sort of the image I'm trying to create for Bay. Am I getting it right?

Chapter 1.21

     "This place sucks."
     Jaessana sighed and looked over at her oldest daughter.
     "Bay, we just moved here.  Give it a chance before you decide this place 'sucks'."
     Bailey glared at her, "I don't have to give it a chance.  I already know it sucks because I can't have a horse.  I can't believe you would move us here after you promised me I could have one."

     "Things happened.  Get over it.  You are a teen now and your father and I made this decision.  Live with it."
     "I hate you," she snarled before storming out of the room.
     Jaessana shook her head and returned to the salad she was making.

     "She's gotten so angry since the move, I truly don't know what to do with her," Jaessana told her husband later that night.
     "It's been her dream to have a horse since she was a practically a baby.  Our move and not getting a horse is a hard blow for her to take."
     "I know, I just wish she wouldn't get so angry at me.  Like it's my fault she's not getting her way." Jaessana sighed.
     "It will take time but I think she'll come around," Everado said hugging Jae.
     "I hope so."
     "Have faith," Everado advised.  "How are Dani and Owen doing?"
     "They seem fine.  I haven't noticed any side effects in them."
     Before their move to Oasis Springs Jaessana and the children had all taken a medication that inhibited their physical 'mer' traits.  Since the Occults were revealed to the mundane sims there was a rise in violence against any occult sim.  To protect their children Jae and Everado had made the decision to move to a new town where their histories were unkown.
     "When do you check in with Dr. Quinn?"
     "In a couple days.  She's supposed to resettle with her family this week."
     "Okay.  Enough of worrying for the children tonight, let's go to bed."

                                                                        

     "How is your new school going?  Have you gotten used to the classes?"  Jaessana asked her children at breakfast.
     "What do you care," Bailey asked.
     "I want to know how you all are handling the move Bay." Jaessana said.
     "Oh, just splendidly," Bailey said sarcastically cheerful, "why I don't think we could have done as well at our old school at all."
     When she finished she dropped her smile and picked up her plate, taking it into the kitchen.
     Jaessana sighed and dropped her head onto her fisted hands.
     "It's going quite well Mum," Danica said, "don't let Bay bother you to much."
     "I'm glad to hear school is okay," Jaessana smiled at her daughter.  "How about you Owen."
     "School's okay.  I have a friend in class and she invited me to go to the park with her and some of her cousin's after school.  Can I go, Mum?"
     "I don't know.  Will she have her mum or dad go with you?"
     Owen shook his head, "I don't think so.  She didn't say so."
     "I can go with them, Mum," Danica volunteered.
     "Alright then," Jaessana agreed.  "Listen to your sister Owen."
     "Okay."

     "Where did you move from," Amy's cousin Holly asked.
     Owen met Amy on his first day at the new school.  She was being teased by one of the older boys in class because she had gotten a perfect score on her math test.  Owen had told the boy that green was a bad color for him.  It took him a moment to understand that Owen was calling him jealous but by then all the other kids were laughing at him.
     He caught Owen after class and pushed him to the ground and stole his school books but Amy had offered to share her books with Owen until the teachers could get his books back.  They were friends ever since.
     "Isla Paradiso."
     "No way!  That's so cool.  What was it like there?"
     Owen shrugged, "Hot, I guess.  We moved just after my birthday though so I don't really know."

     Danica's classmate Rohan had joined her on a trip to the park with her little brother and his classmates.  She was happy to have the company so she wouldn't have to be alone while the kids played.
     "So Dani," Rohan asked, "will you go out on a date with me?"
     "Uhh," Danica said startled, "I guess."
     "Great," he smiled and continued to look at her.
     Since starting high school guys were looking at her and Bailey, a lot.  Dani wasn't sure if it was because high school boys were just that different from grade school boys or if it was the new school, but already three of her classmates had asked her out and another had asked her to go to prom with him.  Prom wasn't for another two months.
     While she wasn't sure if she liked him as more than a friend or not, she didn't want to make things awkward with Rohan by saying no without going on a date first.

                                                                        

     Jaessana turned when the front doors opened.
     "Where are you going?" she asked Bailey as she walked out.
     "Out," Bailey said walking past her mother without a second glance.

     "It's a school night, so curfew's at nine," Jae called after her daughter.

   So the Drimagard's are back and in Sims 4.  Lag time got really bad in Sims 3 and moving to a new town didn't really help it at all.  I've been playing a different family in Sims 4 and finally decided to add the Drimagard's to the world so here we are.

Update

The Drimagards will be moving.  After the children all have their birthdays they will be moving to the quaint little town of Oasis Springs.

That's right.  The Drimagards are moving to the Sims 4 (Everyone is getting a little makeover on the way).

They will be joining the town of my other family the O'Malley's.

     "So Jae, Everado this is James Crisp.  He's...uh...kinda my husband."

     "Husband!!" Jaessana exclaimed.

     "Thanks for the endorsement babe." James said next to Dromy.

     "Dromy what's going on?  When did you get married."  Everado asked putting a hand on Jaessana's shoulder.

     "We signed the papers this morning at City Hall.  We've been dating for almost four days now and I found out I'm pregnant so we decided to make it official and marry."
     "Why haven't you said anything about dating someone before now?" Jaessana asked.
     "Well I wasn't sure what was going to happen with James at first and I didn't want to bring him here until I knew what I wanted to do.  I put it off until I saw my doctor yesterday.  We talked it over and decided we wanted to make a family together for our baby."
   

     "I know that this is not the best way to make a first impression with either of you but I'm going to take care of Andromeda."
     "James has a place nearer to town not far from Kiran's.  I'm going to move in tomorrow morning."

     "Well, I can't say this was something I expected," Jaessana said standing up, "but if this is something you wanted then I'm happy for you Dromy.  Congratulations on your marriage."
     Everado walked over to James and offered his hand.
     "I'm going to say welcome to the family but know this, I've known Dromy since she was younger than my own girls. I consider her to be my one of my own children.  You better remember that and treat her the way she deserves to be treated."
     "Got it," James said shaking his hand.

                                             

     "Are you really married now Dromy?"

     "Yeah, I'm really married."

     "Why do you need to leave though? Why can't you live here with us."

     "I'm going to have a baby so we can't all live together.  It will take too much space for all of us to live here, so I'm going to live with James and our baby."

     "Have you guys said your goodbyes?"
     "Yes mum."
     "Alright," Jaessana gave Dromy a quick one-armed hug, "take care Dromy.  Know we love you here."
     "Time to go babe, the taxi's here," James said
     "Coming. Love you too.  Bye kiddo," Dromy said brushing a kiss to the top of Owens head.
     "Bye Domy," Owen said, Jaessana and the others waved as the taxi pulled away.

                                                        

   

     "Mum, can we talk."
     "My this gives me deja vu.  Though it was Dani the last time.  What is it Bay?" Jaessana asked putting down her bush.

     "Mum can we please talk about me getting a horse now.  You said we could talk about it when I'm older and my birthday is in three days.  I really want one."

     "Whoa, whoa slow down Bay.  I talked with your dad.  We decided that since you've kept up your grades since starting school we're going to look for one."
     "Really!"
     "However, we need to know you can take care of it," Jaessana interupted before she got too excited.  "A horse is a big responsibility and it's going to be your responsibility.
     "We talked to Mrs. Jackson and she's agreed to let you help out with their horses so she can teach you to take care of them.  You start tomorrow."

     "Eeeee, thank you, mum, thank you," Bailey squealed.

     "You're welcome," Jaessana laughed, "go thank your dad, too.  He's in the garden, no doubt."

     Bailey ran off to go find her dad before sharing the news with Dani.

     So I'm finally back.  Yeah didn't get much playing actually done during March :( but I kept tossing round ideas in the background for what I'm going to do with my story now that I've intro'd Occults into my story.  More on that when I start playing again for now it's just an update on my Sim family.

     BTW remember my sim lifespan is set to normal which is 90 days so a four day romance like Dromy's is going to be a typical courtship.  A sim pregnancy is three days so why not make that the normal length of courtship for me.  So expect that typical romances will take 2-3 days or so. Not that you will really be able to tell with my story, I think, maybe....

     And here are my Generation 1 spares, Dromy was definitely a cutie, she's going into my Saved sims bin, but Kiran doesn't look that bad either just has those cheekbones I think he shares with Jae.

Chapter 1.19

     "There are many kinds of Occults.  Vampires, werewolves, faeries, witches, and still more.  We tend to live in loose communities within Sim cities and towns.  Wherever we thrive best.
     "We live in a loose state of isolation, there is no city of only Occults but within our communities we tend to keep to ourselves and associate only with other Occults.  The trouble comes when we have children.  If we stayed in isolation our bloodlines would become too entangled so most young adults will seek a partner out among the Sims."

     "Vampires like myself have great physical strength and the night enhances our physical and mental capabilities still more.  We, like our fictional counterparts, need blood to survive.  Either a willing donor or a special plant called plasma fruit takes care of our dietary needs.  Unlike fiction we are not immortal, we just have a very long lifespan.  Almost five times the lifespan of a sim."

     "We live in very small groupings, usually no more than three or four and their partners and families.  Vampires have fertility trouble so we tend to have small families, one or two children."

     "Faeries are very similar to vampires in that they also have a lifespan greater than average and a low reproductive ability."

     "It's been theorized by Occult scientists that our low birth-rates is a trade off for our longer lives.  I tend to think that there might be some truth to that theory.

     "Faeries have wings and the ability to fly.  They also have the unique ability to use magic to create auras that effect themselves and those around them.  They tend to be highly mischievous and like to play practical jokes."

     "Witches are most like typical sims.  They share the same life span as your average sim.  They possess magic to cast spells and curses, and create enchantments.  Most tend to go into fortune telling or create elixirs to sell to sims."

     "Most Faeries and Witches don't get along but in Moonlight falls there is one infamous couple.  The Avoreen's have been together for dozens of days.  The wife is a talented witch and potion maker.  She's come up with some kind of elixir that has allowed her to remain young while her husband is aging so that she can share his life with him and their only daughter."

     "Werewolves on the other hand are a mix of a longer life span, though not as long as a faeries or vampires, and a sims high fertilty.  They live in a larger pack community.  Packs tend to be made of related families living in the same area."

     "A werewolf will have many children because they tend to have multiple births.  Twins and triplets are the most common among their pregnancies.  There is a lot of growling and snapping among them but they are fiercely loyal to one another and to their pack as a whole."

     "There are still more kinds of Occults out there.  Rumors of genies that live in lamps, living ghosts that have actual will, aliens, plant sims, mersims like you and more that may or may not even be real.  It is quite a rich and diverse world we live in, even if we aren't aware of it."

     "It does indeed sound quite wondrous.  But how has all this been kept a secret from Sims,"  Jaessana asked.

     "The we I have spoken of is the Occult council.  It's membership is made of elders from all the various types of occult's that live in Moonlight falls, since that is the seat of the occult power.  The council's job is to settle disputes among occults, ensure our secrecy and to assign positions of guardians to those occults to oversee the occults that live in other sim cities and towns."

      "I am one such guardian who was sent here to check on you.  Though the mersims tend to police themselves since Isla Paradiso is one of only three places they live in great numbers; the council has not received a report of your situation from them, so here I am."

      "You're here to check on Jae?" Everado asked.

      "Yes.  To see how she is adjusting to becoming an Occult, how her partner, you, are dealing with it and to get a family registry so that you and your children are added to the Moonlight Falls official records."

      "Which brings me to another aspect of your situation.  It's my understanding that your parents were sims Mrs. Drimagard."

     "My father and grandparents were but I know nothing of my mother or her family.  My father said she disappeared shortly after I was born and before we moved to Isla Paradiso."

     "You moved here?"

     "From Moonlight Falls actually, when I was a toddler."

     "Hmmm. I will have to do further research when I return there."

     "You also mentioned that Doc Miles will be keeping silent," Everado asked.
     "He will refrain from bringing undo attention to your wife and children.  He himself is not of the occult but he is intelligent and knows that it could be unsafe for your children and wife if they were to be outed."
      "Wouldn't sims be interested in them because they were different.  Like kids with shiny new toys?"
      "Some would, but too many would be frightened by what is different.  And that could have fatal consequences for those involved it's why we keep our existence secret in the first place."
      "Now it is getting late," Dr. Quinn said standing,  "I will leave you to your family, you have my number if you should need to contact me in the future, and I will let you know if I find anything about your mother Mrs. Drimagard.  It is unusual that she would leave you as a toddler."
       Jaessana walked her to the front door,  "Thank you for that.  And again thank you for coming out here.  You have given us a lot to think about."
      "You are very welcome.  Take care now," she said walking down to the street.  She stopped at the sidewalk and looked back at Jaessana and Everado at the doorway.  Jaessana saw her wink once before running up the sidewalk.  Before Jaessana could turn her head to follow she had disappeared.
      "Wow," Everado said.
      "Yeah," Jaessana nodded.

     Okay so here is my take on the supernaturals.  Everything I came up with is a kind of piecemeal from my favorite authors.  Mixed into my own take to fit the world of Sims.

   So I am in school and haven't had much time to play.  The story is literally caught up to where I am in game.  Since I don't have time to play much I am going to take off March from posting and just play and write.  I should be back in April with the story. Hopefully even into generation two.  Man I want to play generation two already.  I'm glad I got the occults out of the way thought.  This is for those non-players that want some information.  Alright, gottat go and do some homework now.  Laters....
