Chapter 44-Return to Lunar Lakes

This chapter was originally posted on 7/5/14

Finding Dylan was the top priority but any information on Brandon was more than welcome.  Sandi always felt that Brandon was responsible for Dylan's disappearance but she was not closing her mind to other possible answers.

Aurora: I have seen that guy at The Toadstool and Varg's Tavern on many occasions and he is always with the same warlock.  They are not bright enough to be discreet while discussing their illegal activities, they seem not care who overhears them.  I have heard them mention you name several times and they are plotting something.  I don't know all the details, but they hired someone to break into your house twice.

Sandi: Do you know who the warlock is?

Aurora: I don't know his name but it is the same one that works for the newspaper.

Sandi:  Is there anything else you can remember about the night Dylan was kidnapped?

Aurora:  You might want to talk to my daughter Cora, she is often with me at the grocery store and she has a better memory than I do.

Sandi: I remember Cora, she gave me a makeover when I was little and I already have her on my list.  I'll give her a call.  Thank you so much for your help and if you remember anything else please give me a call.

Aurora: I will call if I do remember anything and I hope you find Dylan soon.

Sandi met up with Caleb at the police station and she told him the information she found out on Brandon.  He also had some information himself to share with her.  He talked with one of his friends in forensics and found out that the ballistic report showed that the gun used in the Alto double murder case was the same one that killed Argus Brown.  If they could find the gun used in all three murders, it might lead them straight to Brandon.

They needed to find out who this warlock was so they could question him about the kidnapping and the murders.   Sandi was off to talk to Russel to see if he could help identify the warlock and Caleb was going to stakeout Alto house.

Sandi:  Thank you for meeting with me today.  As you know the police have placed the search for Dylan on the back burner, so Caleb and I are investigating on our own. I need your help especially now that my Grandmother is no longer with us and I cannot ask her.  A warlock who works for the newspaper was seen on several occasions with Brandon Alto, would you have any idea who that would be?

Russel: First let me offer my condolences on your loss.  Rose was highly respected in the witch’s council and she is leaving very big shoes for Eleanor and I to fill.

Sandi:  Thank you, the family is still in shock and we will always miss her.

Russel:  Right now the witch’s council could use her to deal with the same warlock you are asking me about.  I know who he is and we already suspect that he is using his powers for organized crime.  It's Bradly MacDuff and he has not only been seen with Brandon but he is living with him.

Sandi: Do you know if he is connected with the murders or Dylan's kidnapping?

Russel: I actually do have information that I reported to Officer Chung.

Sandi: Caleb didn't tell me you gave a statement, there is something majorly wrong at the police department.  Can you give me the same information?

Russel:  I would be happy to.  Bradly was always signed up for the same training sessions as Dylan and he always seemed to follow Dylan when he left.  As soon as Dylan disappeared Bradly stopped his training sessions and he has not been to a single one since.  

Sandi:  This is convincing me even more that Brandon is involved.  I'm going to find Bradly and talk to him myself.  If you have any other information that will help us please let us know first before the police.

Russel: I will and you be careful.  Bradly is not as powerful as Dylan but he is still dangerous as he knows how to use his powers. 

Later that evening Caleb was still staking out the Alto house and he found Brandon in a very compromising position.

Caleb just watched as Brandon and Bradly kissed in front of their house.

Caleb:  Hmmmmm Brandon is a switch hitter!   What other secrets are you keeping from us Alto?

Back at the house Sandi and Caleb compared notes and tried to figure out their next moves were. They decided that Sandi would question Cora and Bradly and Caleb would continue to keep an eye on Brandon and search his house for the gun.

Meanwhile back at the Landgraab house in Lunar Lakes:

Holly: How much longer are we going to have to wait here, they should have figured out by now that we are in Lunar Lakes for a reason.

Emmett: Patience my lady, Patience.  You know as well as I do, Brandon Alto must be brought down first before .....

Emmett: its common knowledge that in the Alto house, in Jareth Alto's room 

Emmett: A fairy by the name of Johnny DeVito

Emmett: is keeping a very much alive Dylan McIntyre captive.

Chapter 34-The Simlight Zone

This chapter was originally posted on 6/11/14

Author's note: The Entire Chapter is a conversation between Holly and Emmett. unless its commentary from me in parentheses.  Please remember I do not have pictures of the actual events as I was replaying the main house and I didn't think I needed these pictures until it was too late.  Everything mentioned were either story progression messages or information I stumbled into while playing.

I know it shouldn't make too much of a difference to the story because everything happened to secondary characters, the main characters are just fine as I micro managed them.  The problem for me is I like my extended family and I will tend to use them when the occasion calls for it.  I learned my lesson, do not replay anymore just Nrass them back, hopefully I will not have to do this again.

As usual at the end of a Holly and Emmett family update will have a brief overview on the story I am planning for the next generation.

Emmett: You are traveling through another dimension, a dimension of Sims and a dimension of Story Progression.  A journey into a wondrous land where computer viruses, game glitches,  and Mods can change the look of an entire family. You've just crossed over into the Simlight Zone!

Holly: Oh Emmett do you really have to be that dramatic?

Emmett: Easy for you to say, you didn't go around for days walking around in your underwear because you lost the ability to change your clothes and none of the dressers would open for you.

Holly:  That's because you are a clone and not the real.....

Emmett: Don't even say that name again.  Besides I'm the real deal now, that other one can't hold a candle to me.

Holly: Indeed you are my dear, you are the one who is going to save the world along with me and our family.

Emmett:  Just because those evil spirits better known as glitches was confusing me for him doesn't mean he is any better than I.  If it wasn't for the God's of Nrass we would have never figured that out. I'll give those evil spirits credit, they didn't die easy, they kept returning until I changed my name. Now they are gone for good, so I went out and bought these new threads.

Holly: So now you are Emmett Wood and you don't have to walk around everywhere in your underwear.  I like that name better and besides there are worse things that could have happened.

Emmett: I guess so our family is evidence of that.

The only one spared from all the craziness was Verne.  He still became a doctor.

and he still married Bailey Swain.

Sandi grew up just as we always knew her but how did her twin brother go from this color hair (Sorry best picture I could find, the others were too dark and didn't show the hair color)  Completely different than both of his biological parents.

to this color hair.  The same as Wolfie's.

It was either the evil spirits or the Goodfellows dyed his hair to hide his identity from Wolfie.

The same thing happened with Valerie except now she looks more like Abby than Wolfie. 

He did grow up into a handsome young man. 

Holly: Ok who is next on the list Jules?

Emmett: Save Jules and his Wolfie impersonation for last.  Amy should be next.

Well someone needs to tell me why in the world Alfred Hoppcraft who looks like this

Would cheat on a wife who looks like this.

With Zoe Durwood!

The Divorce was difficult on her and she decided to move to another universe to help out a cowboy in need of a child.  With Amy being evil those demons, better known as bad story progression, followed her so they could cause some more havoc. (I guess when I threw that wedding those demons followed all the guest home because bad story progression twist has become an epidemic in the Going Solo community.)

It looked like Amy was going to be the black sheep of our family, she caused so much trouble for the cowboy and the pretty fairy at first.  In the end it all worked out for the best and she brought Michael home to meet the family.  

When she arrived home there was a little surprise in the house. 

When we last seen Rose she looked like this and Chris also aged up too,

but this is what they look like now.  Rose is young enough to have a baby.

Even though the demons were told not to give a couple more than 3 children, which the last time we counted Wolfie, Amy and Ronny were three.  This is what happened.

Anastasia is her name and the 4th child born to Rose and Chris.  Wolfie is still the only werewolf born to them as this one is a witch.

Now that Wolfie is a family man and eternally faithful, Jules decided to take his place and the demons have been telling me all about his mad kissing skills and had linked Jules romantically with several women in a very short period of time.

Mara Nix

Freida Goth

Deedee Wynn

Zoe Durwood gets around

Marigold Maldano

Fawn Goodfellow

And Gabriella Ramsey (She is a genie who was actually put in town to be Wolfie's Baby Mama, but I opted for Dahlia Goodfellow instead.  I even pictured her as one of Wolfie's groupies.  Jules is currently engaged to her and I'm going to Nrass the relationship so they do indeed get married.) 

But it’s the last one who ended this madness for the family and sent Sandi to university earlier than expected.

Jules how could you?  Thought we would never see her again.  We were wrong. (Because this was an earlier version of the game that I basically was speeding through I had planned to ignore the fact that she was still alive.  Obviously Story Progression did not want me to forget about her.)

Emmett:  Life is just beginning for our young heroine, as she will find out it what or should I say who is her purpose in this mission.  Three Men will play a part in her life, one her purpose in this mission, one her true love and the other her worst nightmare.  The only question is who is who?  Only Sandi knows for sure.

Sandi will end the Alto reign of terror in Moonlight Falls, however a mysterious woman will have a a lead to a greater evil.   This greater evil is closer to Sandi than she knows.
