Chapter 23: KTHXBYE

Halen and Stanley Broke (Kenji's son) have reproduced, and her name is Rickie. It may be a little weird, but Kenji could not be happier to share a granddaughter with Fiona.

Shortly after giving birth, Halen was playing catch with her grandfather in the yardspace between their two houses.

Halen is EXTREME.

Jazz is an adventurous sim, but he should probably stick to traveling within his own timeline.

Jazz wants to return to Al Simhara. Leona does her best to prepare him for battling mummies.

Jazz doesn't believe in the legends of attacking mummies, but he humors his mother in law. She was in the military after all; she could probably throw a baseball at him and take his head off.

The new balcony is a good place to wear Leona's old hat and practice Sim-Fu.

One skipped montage later, we have a black-and-gold belt in the house.

And hours and hours of living room meditation.

Jazz has discovered the secret of teleportation.

A sorely needed dance club opens for business in quiet little Riverview.

It's called The Grind, and Sacha is here before their open hours, in broad daylight, to investigate.

So is Lori. Lori doesn't approve.

Lori has been petitioning the town for a new theater for classical music. Clearly The Grind is Riverview's spiteful response to the piles and piles of letters Lori sends to Lorraine Cantina's office.

Right. Sacha should probably get home. Out of the sun.

She worries about Lori sometimes.

Jazz and Sacha visit The Grind at a more appropriate hour.

Seeing Aunt Fiona in a backless dress was an unintended consequence.

Should Sacha really be drinking the KTHXBYE?

"Ghosts! They're in the walls!"

The KTHXBYE has done a number on Jazz.

Time for some black lights.

Vampires are immune to black lights.

Leona + space suit + black light.

After the dancing, a nice visit with best girlfriend.

Patricia smiles unconvincingly. "Grats on being preggers. I'm a paramedic now."

Sacha and Jazz have a son, named Arthur.

And this one is Halen's daughter, Rickie.

She has her mother's face so it's probably best she's looking the other way.

Gyaaah!

Fiona dies. Kenji is the only one who doesn't think art is more important.

Leona buries her twin near their mother.

She's devastated by the loss, and more than a bit steamed that some other woman would dare start flirting with Kenji in her family's graveyard, mere minutes after Fiona's burial.

Etc: Kenji wasn't invited to the graveyard. He just showed up there and I saw him as Leona was heading home, haha.

I'm proud of myself for getting Jazz to Martial Arts 10. Space Rock Blocks yield almost nothing until you've completed the Timber Terminator challenge, but he'll have that soon too. And then hopefully he'll be rolling in Rainbow gems to do mad science with.
