-VD: O.o You're admitting it?-
Well, what else am I supposed to think when I start finding a Jager handsome?!
-M2: Eh -- what?-
For those of you who only know Girl Genius from my constant fangirling of it, the Jagerkin were a group of construct soliders created by one of Agatha's evil Heterodyne ancestors (the bloodline was basically a bunch of jerks before Bill and Barry came along). They're generally green and ugly, love to fight, and they place a lot of value on their hats. Most of them have signed up as soliders/mercenaries with Baron Wulfenbach (who is an equal-opportunity employer), but in our current "Agatha in the Circus" storyline, we've encountered four "rogue" ones, three of which are tagging along looking after Agatha. Dimo is your general green Jager, Maxim is a purple one, and Oggie is a white one with a ram's horn.
Your Average Jagers, from the Prologue
Maxim, Dimo, Oggie, from the current storyline
And now that I look at them -- Maxim is actually rather cute. He cuts a dashing figure in that hat. :D
-E: He's purple. And he's violent.-
Actually, he's pretty damn friendly for a Jager, he --
-MDC: *bimfs in* Soo, any progress on the webpage?-
. . . Mystery solved!
-MDC: O.o Did I miss something?-
-VD2: What do you mean?-
Maxim actually looks a little like Nightcrawler! Very vague resemblence, but I bet that's what started the "he's cute" thoughts. Well, that and his cool hat.
-H: You sound like a Jager yourself, with that obsession with hats.-
Did I also mention that I had a thought for a subplot in "Boy Genius," where you would have this playful quasi-romantic thing going on with Maxim?
-H: . . . You wouldn't dare. In fact, I dare you.-
:D
-E: Holly, you--
Did I mention it was originally you that I had these thoughts about, Emily?
-E: Have fun, Holly.-
-H: *fall over laughing*-

Hill Valley Sims, Hill Valley Sims. Decided to go ahead and play the Brown family through their Tuesday. Everyone was up early, of course -- the kids entertained each other, then funned and earned some skills while Doc and Clara ReNuYued to match more closely. They have a nice solid two-bolt relationship.

And thank God for small favors -- this version of Doc DOESN'T know Lorraine McFly.
-Docs and Martys: Whew!-
Yeah, really. Doc made the family omlettes for breakfast, then Jules and Verne funned until school. Martina went down for a nap, so I had the Brown parents catch some sleep around the same time. Clara and Doc have both best-friended Martina now -- unfortunately I caught Clara too late, so I only have the shot of Doc:

He and Clara are loving parents, playing with their toddler

keeping her squeaky-clean

And teaching her essential toddler skills.

Doc eventually had to leave for work, so Clara left Martina to learn skills

and make some lunch as her other two boys came home (Verne with the 100 simoleons bonus for a great reportcard). Unfortunately, things went wrong and she ended up setting the stove on fire.

The firewoman arrived almost immediately and put out the blaze -- Clara tipped her 25 simoleons in thanks. :)

The kids bathed, peed, funned, then napped as six rolled around.

Since Jules is a little older than Verne, I decided to grow him up once he had a little more energy. Doc came home, called up his friend Toby, then tried to invite Marty over --
Only for me to discover that Marty wouldn't stay. Both times, he walked on, would be greeted, then I'd get a text message saying how late it was and that he should be going. Granted, I did invite him over rather late, but it still seems weird. *vows to test it in the daytime later* So Jules had to grow up with only his family around.

Not bad at all -- he's a Popularity Teen, who desires Red Haired Sims who use Cologne, and hates Full Face Makeup. Tomorrow for Verne, who'll be Family -- haven't decided on his turn-ons or turn-offs yet.
Shortly after this, Martina was Potty-Trained by Doc. I actually rarely need SmartMilk for that, as it's just so easy to do.

Then it was back to her toys so "Daddy" could get some sleep.

That's where I saved. Hopefully that thing with Marty isn't a bug. *fingers crossed*
Contining with my Hill Valley Building Project (as I find it vaguely amusing Sims can call to ask you Downtown when there's nothing there yet), I worked on Hill Valley High School. It's three stories, but only two are active -- I can't figure out how to get up to three with the stairs without forcibly skipping two. Oh well.
Here's the current HVHS:

Yes, they have a pool. That weird ring of "dirt" is supposed to be a track and field path.
First Floor:

On the left side are a coffee bar, a library, and the woman's bathroom. On the right side is a small gym, a music room, and the men's bathroom. Also pool with lounge chairs.
Second Floor:

Left side, bar and party rooms, with Electrodance Sphere and DJ booth. Right side, Karoke Room (for now) and "dive" area.
The Grounds:

Pool with lockers and lounge chairs, swingset, and a barbeque area I added just for fun.
Next stop will be a McFly house (Elder or Current) and to finish up Courthouse Square.

Picture of Lynnea is done. Rather monochrome, but that's the character. Gotta sketch "Warsies" out again next.
-TD: *playing with flashlight* bwowm, bwowm-
:p You're so cute.
-D: *rolls eyes* Me, a Warsie.-
Hey, don't knock it -- I know you like those movies.
-D: Not to the point of playing with the flashlights.-
-TD: Actually, yes you do, sort of.-
-D: Don't get smart -- poor choice of words, don't be cheeky.-
-M: *imitating Strickland* Don't be a slacker!-
-TD: *attacks him with "lightsabser"*-
-M: *uses "force choke"*-
-TD: *pretends to be strangled*-
-VD2: *attacks Marty with "lightsaber"*-
-D,M,TD: O.o?-
-VD2: What the hell, it's fun.-
-VM: So are you Obi-Wan Kenobi?-
-VD2: Sure.-
-OD: Much as we thought the prequel trilogy was inferior, I'd probably make an excellent General Grevious. *tentacles chitter and spin around*-
-DW: On that note, must I be a Wookie?-
-VD2: You fit the part. One of the Martys can be Han Solo.-
-DW: Or Yoda.-
-VuM: Die for that, you will.-
Okay, any minute now
