crossover_chick | Eureka Villagers Step Out

But first, allow me to squee over the latest news from Telltale.

OMG MICHAEL J. FOX IS COMING IN TO VOICE CHARACTERS FOR THE LAST EPISODE YAY!

-M: Really? Awesome! Who's he playing?-
We dunno yet, though apparently one of them is somebody we've already met.
-M2: *startled* One of them?-
Yeah -- I said "characters" up there. He's doing two.
-VuM: Heavy.-
You said it. :D I just wish the blog hadn't informed me that we have to wait until June 23rd for it. X( I'm still gonna be playing Alice then! Stupid overlapping video games.
-D: Oh, just be grateful people are making more games you want to play.-
I suppose. Speaking of video games, I have a few updates from the villagers of Eureka, if anyone's interested:

Tannen:

Little Biff is getting along well with his parents. For all their faults, it appears Bart and Sandy are loving parents.

Sandy had work today (and got herself a promotion to President of the Business career), so Bart's been handling all the toddler skill teaching for now.

He actually successfully made Smart Milk despite being in low green, and got Biff walking and potty-trained. Sandy will handle talking and the nursery rhyme, as I like having an equal division of labor when it comes to this sort of stuff.

Smith:

Things which amuse me: A SWAT Team member driving a horse-drawn carriage. XD

Both he and Melody are doing well, though -- Melody even got a promotion to Senior Officer! Her garden is also growing well, if weedy. Ah well, she's got Nature as her One True Hobby, so. . . .

Robert's doing well, having made a friend out of Isaiah Gavigan. Water balloon fights are apparently great for socializing little pirates.

The biggest news, however, is symbolized by this pair of photos (and that was their first makeout? I could have sworn. . .*shrug*) After this was some woo-hoo, and guess who's pregnant again? Gonna have to find a way to expand the house. Hmmm. . . .

Carter:

Over at the Carter place, Amy has gotten maxed enthusiasm in her chosen hobby of Arts & Crafts! Enjoy your plaque, dear.

Jack, meanwhile, is making best friends and maxing out his body skill. He'll be Captain Hero yet!

However, the main event of the day was this -- Samantha's off to college! I reviewed her scholarships right before she went: she received the Sim City Scholar's Award, the Will Wright Genius Grant, the Quigley Visual Arts Stipend, and the Young Entrepreneur's Award. So she has about 3,000 simoleons for college. I've built her a tiny house to live in while she starts her studying -- you can expect to see her next time I play the Carters.

So yeah, they're keeping busy. I still need to finish out another Ink Sec Sims cycle before Alice, and probably do another update on EVL.
-RPD: Don't stress yourself out too much about getting it all done. People will understand.-
Yeah, I know, I'd just like to have it done for me. We'll see. . . .
The final news of the day is that I went ahead and started up a tumblr.
-VM: Oh come on, what else about Doc can you say?-
Um -- it's not about BTTF, actually.
-RPM: Huh? What is it about, then?-
Well, it's called Victor Luvs Alice. . . .
-RPM: Ooooh, it's for the OTP!-
-VM: I think my point still stands.-
Oh hush, it's a convenient place to post graphics. And this way I don't have to bother everybody on here when I want to squee about them.
-TTV: *amused* Except that won't you be posting links to it whenever you have something particularly new?-
Still, better than taking up space here, right? It's hardly the weirdest thing I've done with social networking sites.
-VuM: Yeah, that's true. There's still the Twitter for VictorPlush and his NationState.-
Exactly. A shipping tumblr is almost normal.
Okay, time to do some fic-writings. Been working on the 100 Drabbles of Summer for
