Jazz realizes he deserves a kick in the pants; it's one kind of crazy to mine illegally in Egypt, and it's a different kind of crazy to tell his wife she shouldn't be as she was when they married.
After a day or two Martin seems to feel alright. In need of some Iridium and Titanium, and quite interested in hunting the Glowy Fly, Jazz plans a trip to France and brings the boys along.
A whole new city to terrorize.
"Do you hate me?" Arthur wants to know, when his brother's in the bathroom.
"No... never."
Following Jazz.
France is lovely.
Following Jazz. Into the butterfly tomb!
Only one sim required.
WHY DID YOU BRING THE KIDS DOWN HERE.
Looking for Alice?
"No," Jazz would say. "Butterflies."
Oh, the boys are safe at the hostel-type thing.
Either they've reconciled, or Arthur just put a KICK ME sign on Martin's back.
Jazz demonstrates how to attract the elusive Glowy Fly. Actual results may vary. No refunds.
Light, where there was darkness before.
Jazz knows when it's time to get the heck out of here.
Pavel stayed at home with his cowardly mother and eccentric great-grandfather, still too young to go on trips.
Randy is well-aware of how lucky he is to be alive. He only wishes Randi were here.
Arthur has a birthday. Don't annoy him when he's tired.
A girl named Melody follows Martin home from school.
Melody is thrilled with the decor in the house, while Martin is happy to finally have someone to discuss Unicorns for Audrey with. It's comparable to The Time Machine by H.G. Wells, why doesn't anyone realize that? Even his genius mother isn't interested.
Melody has the "good sense of humor" trait. She can make anything hilarious. LOL shovels!
"This is just like the movies," Melody says.
"You're going to be my boyfriend."
Martin isn't so sure about this.
"On Friday nights we'll ignore curfew and visit the theater.
When we're teenagers of course!"
A girl seemingly starved for acceptance and attention, Melody ignores Martin's protests. She comes from a broken home.
Arthur, the neat-freak, roams the house putting away books and toys. He'd toss all the random terrariums and gems in the basement too, if he could.
"And you belong in the crib, I suppose..."
Arthur decides he should try to protect this one. They could both be living in this town for quite a while.
"Night..."

Etc.: Poor Martin. Always pushed around by the more assertive types.
The search for Martin's wife (a future busker) was annoying, as all such searches probably will be. I had to choose between various cousins, unattractive girls, a vampire girl, girls who were a bit too young or too old, and so on. Melody is NOT an ideal mate, since she's Martin's third cousin (the daughter of Lori Grisby and one of the Brokes), and also blessed with her mother's looks.
But how could I say no, when the game named her Melody, of all things?
The game also stops counting them as related at this point, so I decided it was fine. Lori and Marlene Grisby weren't raised as Sacha's cousins, and Sacha didn't encourage family contact between their kids. ...In direct contrast to Halen's kids, who live next door and at times seem very much a part of the extended family.
Stupid Glowy Fly took FOREVER to rear its sparkling head. I was ready to scream.
