Hahahaha!! Membrane and aneurysm (I can't even pronounce that)! *gasp* You didn't want her to die? I thought I was granting your wish! (haha, kidding! :P)

I HATE taking scenes with food!!!!! They always go bad and give off green smoke + breed flies before I can finish shooting! That scene was actually taken with 3 different sets of the food. And I gave up and ended up not including the table in the pictures, if you didn't notice. (That is how slow I am, which is why my updates are so *cough* well-spaced *cough*.) But yea, customary practices, whether good or bad, lingers on longer in the capital. :/

Yep, Meadow! I didn't have a particular liking for her until Simtopi, hehe. (In fact, I hardly play premades. What a lousy simmer I am!)

LOL awww.... you can feel sorry for Mejaine for not for Chairon? :P

OMG I LOVE ROYAL STUFF TOO!!! But they don't appear often in the story because I have no place for them. D: I mean, too much is going on for Kismette already, sigh. But hahaha!! I had a lightbulb moment when building the set. I was going to fill the entire table for old paper and ink bottles with feather pens (whut!) when I suddenly realised "HEY! They are traditional but not inefficient!" XD Hence the laptops.

(HOLY CRAP THANK YOU!!! Now you know how knowledgeable I really am. XD)

I'm always changing up her clutter a little here and there so that it feels like she really lived in there, heh. (Didn't think people would notice though! :D) LOL I would have made Kay bite Zee's ear if I could find the pose for it! XD

Well, see, I can feel sorry for Mejane more right now because karma has already come around and bitten her in the ass, and it came with interest. Her obsession with practice and getting ahead probably has contributed to her illness (not to mention, if she'd been a nicer person her blood pressure would probably be a lot lower, as she might actually have friends...)
Whereas Charion? Yeah, everything that's annoying him right now is his own damn fault. He hasn't learned anything, still thinks he's all that, and his attitudes and those of his family (Jeremy excepted. When do I get to see him in a chapter again?) are contributing to the problems of lots of people.

I never pose scenes with food, I just usually have them do the normal talking animations. Or everybody never eats at the cafeteria in my high school: no plates are seen! Fake food is nice, but then you have no animations... It's a conundrum. Some foods go green faster than others.

Oh, I've been fond of Meadow since I read sarah (purplebunny's) now discontinued piratical legacy. And she's been adorable whenever I've made her over. I was actually shooting a scene she was in right before reading this, :lol:

Yeah, kings and queens can be boring if they aren't the main character... makes sense that they'd adopt the technology but not new social mores. :)

It does feel like she's been there a while. And that her interests have moved more towards arts and crafts and photography than stuffed animals. Our Kismette is growing up!

Hahaha! I don't think anger management classes could have saved her though, seeing how her temper stemmed from the fear of falling. But then again, she doesn't seem to have learnt anything too, eh? :P Her breakdowns only made her push herself harder. Which doesn't seem wise. :X

In a way, we (or Chairon himself) actually can blame his family for his upbringing, haha. Or maybe even the way the society worked. (But that's a rather huge topic for debate. :X)

(Jeremy, hmm... next chapter, if I don't have any last minute changes, hehe. I don't know if that will count, though. :P)

Clever you! The last time I posed with food, I said I'll never do it again. And then I did it again. *_* Well, I guess fake food with the normal talking animations are the way to go then? :D (I didn't know certain foods turn bad faster! :O)

Eee, I'm so happy you pointed out that our little girl is growing up, because I have been hoping to show that through her experiences, behaviour and physical appearance! :D :D :D

I never said she was done learning, just that she's started. She's figured out at least that her own actions have been part of what's keeping her down (and that Zaelem's word is good for centuries, but that he's not going to put up with her manipulation and abuse any more.)

*Tackles Jeremy.* Though, Here's wondering how Jeremy came out of that horrible, horrible family.

Not me, I read it somewhere, and then I actually noticed that it was true. Foods have different spoil timers, so stuff like jello and instant meals actually last a couple sim-hours longer.

Yeah, that sounds like the way to go. There's probably some animations on a posebox floating around somewhere in cyberspace... It was a lovely looking steak, though. My other trick is to have someone make like 8 plates of the food (if there's only 2 or 3 people eating) and just keep replacing it.

I don't think her pride would allow her to bend and admit her wrongs though. :P Even if she knew it was her fault deep down in her heart. (I guess the worse part is that Zaelem actually fulfilled his promise (proposed) but it wasn't at a time when she wanted and she only realised it when she desperately wanted it.)

Hahaha! Well, James (his brother) didn't come out that badly too, right? And James did want to raise Chairon up properly, but he just didn't have the time. :(

THEY ARE SO GONNA EAT JELLO THE NEXT TIME!!! (hahaha, nah, I don't like jello. Shall find some other food, hmph!)

WAIT. Guess what I just found? !!! (Why didn't I even think of searching for something like this before now? XD)

OMG you are amazing!

James turned out kind of okay. But he's not exactly the strongest of characters in here, and Chairon (Sorry I keep misspelling that - some of my last classics class is leaking in,) got rather spoiled. Also, his mom is a huge you-know-what.

Hahaha! *takes a bow*

Yea, I kept cutting out scenes for fear of becoming long-winded and dragging this on for far too long, and end up having badly developed characters instead. *sigh* But I guess it's good that we're getting to the exciting parts faster? :P

(LOL many people misspell Zaelem too. ZAELEM!!! XD)

I always remember it because it rhymes with Salem, lol.
Actually, I meant strong as a person, but yeah, we don't know a heck of a lot about James as a character either. Thats okay though, he's totally not important. ;)

LOL! Maybe you can think of how much you want to sit on Chairon when spelling his name: Chair-on! XD

*silently agrees* (whoops!)

Chairon's name is now...
*Squash!*
