The Starbloom Travecy - Generation 5.8!
Oh deer, this looks ominous. Well, it's Starbloom Tiemz again, and the Content Warning from last time still stands. There will be hospital stuff. Thankfully, Phil was "cured" of the grusome rash he was faking, so you won't have to look at that.
Narrator is very bored, so I'll just hand her the reigns and let her run berserk.
Hiiiio! I'm the Narrator, and you all know the drill!
Last time we saw the guys at the hospital, T'ana and Jonathan had come to see how things were going. Beau Duckman Jr. also dropped by, but unfortunately he couldn't stay long. The other guy is Derby, he's pretty much the same person as Dennis Chase in Arenanueva, but in this hood his name's Derby. He works part time at this hospital.
But something scary was happening in one of the toilets! D: Was it a ghost?
You know how abandoned hospitals are always haunted by everyone who died there? Why do we always think they become haunted at the time when they close, and people stop dying there? Not counting the occasional urb-exxer who didn't wear proper shoes. Hospitals are pretty much portals between our world and others, where people cross one way or the other many times a day. Of course there's going to be a lot of spiritual energies there. Jolene has read a lot of stuff about things like that.
Adana was teaching Hayden to shoot hoops. Hayden's taking computer classes to be a more futuristic receptionist, and Adana's been one of her teachers. She came over with Hayden after class.
Virginia: Mom? This is really humiliating, but I think I've become invisible. I can't see myself in the mirror, and everything I wear disappears as well! Yes, I've tried taking a shower. Yes, I've changed my clothes. Yes I've tried putting on make-up too!
Oh no.... Virginia was the ghost! Was she dead????? D:
Aylatani was doing really well in the food-making line of work. :) Even Brianna came over to visit, because they had forgotten by now that they hated each other. Brianna had the memory of a goldfish anyway. Something like 16kB of RAM.
If you've forgotten, because Brianna's pretty forgettable I regret to say, she's one of Aylatani's grand-daughters. Zarinda (who's Liranda's twin) is her mother, and Brice MaxAvoy is her dad.
Adana decided to stay over so she took a relaxing bath after a long day of teaching ancient compluter classes. Jefferson was having a really bad night, but Adana pretended she didn't notice because she was grown up around that kind of stuff.
Derby's just as much of a giggly dweeb in this life. (He booed Ded Moriarty, remember?)
Jefferson had been chagrinned for awhile.
Kevin overworked himself on the killbike. Maybe it was deliberate, though. He was supposed to be Ryan. Aylatani and Phil hadn't noticed him being around yet. That would be some explaining to do.
Jillian Haynes thought Brianna was hysterically funny? That's weird. Jillian's so intelligent she's a brain surgeon, and Brianna's dumber than Hayden's computer. Maybe she was laughting at her and not with her.
The doctors and Eric had appropriately tasteless breakfast with banana, for vitamins and potassium.
Meanwhile, Phil was practicing Mad Science upstairs.
He liked having access to so much different equipment, even if it was from the 70s.
Making such secret medicine was a lot more fun than sneaking toothpaste into difficult customers' food. Phil had never liked being a chef.
I hope that's not cyanide. Or anti-freeze. Those are the only things I can think of that are blue. Or no, there's some kind of booze that is, but it's a different colour.
"It would be cool if Sims could brew Moonshine!" said Jolene. O_O I think she's been watching Boardwalk Empire.
Adana: I never got into Dallas when it was cool and retro, so I'm so happy I can follow it while it's fresh and new!
Virginia: I've never followed anything, because there's no signals at our house in the 19th century. Mom says it can have a very detrimential(?) effect on a young mind. She visited the 2010s once and saw an episode of Game of Thrones. There was a wedding and everyone was murdered. But I may want to watch Dallas.
Fandom and ice-cream for breakfast was a very bonding experience. :)
Aylatani: What just happened here????
Phil: I gave Derby an attitude adjustment, because he was being disagreeable.
It happened off screen. I only saw the pop-up of Derby saying Phil was not to be trifled with. No, he's absolutely not. I fear for Derby's safety around here.
It was getting into autumn, so Aylatani suggested "Victoria" was ready to wear jeans. She felt pretty cool while she walked to school. (LOL it rhymed.)
Hayden was thrilled to see that Phil had a proper face now.
But the universe continued to be very cruel to poor Vickie!
Vickie: Is it typhoid! That makes you blue in the face, doesn't it?
It wasn't the typhoid. None of the staff had seen anything like it before. They put Victoria in a coma, while her hovering face watched her sleep.
Frank was learning to be a doctor, because he was really a veterinarian. The hospital was so short-staffed that Hayden and Jefferson had to press-gang him from a cider-festival at the pub. He knew how to cut and stitch, and that would have to do for now.
Irene Montoya was very proud of the winghorses that adorned the entrance.
Tani found a room full of baby dolls.
Tani: That was creepy.
Irene: Mrs. Collins! Both your husband and daughter are awake and breaking quarantine again! MRS COLLINS!? Oh, where is she NOW?!
Phil: I'll call Dumbledore, he can probably fix your head.
Aylatani was hacking the decrepit old infranet to see if she could unlock the code to the room where her face was in a freezer by the door.
The experiments were coming along nicely.
Vickie woke up and wondered where her eyebrows had gone off to. But if that was the worst she had suffered she was going to take it.
A family of new patients had arrived.
Vera Branigan: We all love you very much, Little Matty. Remember that.
Matty wasn't feeling too hot.
Kevin: Hey, there's a kid here who's about to have a fit of some sort. And when is anyone going to pick up that darn soda can?
Little Matty fell in a heap on the floor. :C
Vera: Oh no, he's had an episode again! Where are the nurses?!
Heather: Is Matty dead?
Herman: Heather must be really scared. Take care of her while I go find a doctor or someone.
Irene: Poor innocent child.
Jillian: He looks very unconscious.
Jefferson: We may have to perform a craniectomy.
Frank: In dogs this is usually fatal.
Irene: Poor innocent dogs. I like dogs. :(
Irene: Frank, you're the most insensitive and blunt person here. D: Go and tell his parents that we think he may have parvo.
Eric had a crisis of reality, because he discovered that the chair he'd been sitting on for the past ten minutes had never existed.
Phil was bonding with his new "daughter," so their family relationship would be more convincing.
OH, and listen to this!!! Mom just called. She and Dad have gotten themselves quarantined over at my grandma's house. (My Momo, not Grandma in Oklahoma.) Now they'll have to stay there for two weeks. Jolene's moving back home temporarily to babysit me!???! I mean, she's super laid-back, it'll be fine. I'm just so offended that Mom thinks I'm not fit to look after myself for a couple of weeks. I'm almost sixteen, I hope!
Anyhow, look at how pretty Victoria is!
So innocent and pure. <3
I think Phil woke the llama. :(
Jillian's fashion was ahead of her time.
Hooray, friends were coming over. And Hayden was moved on to a more advanced class.
Weedy: There's nothing straight and narrow about these cases.
Beau: I find it very fascinating.
I wonder if sammyfrog has mixed Beau and Weedy in CAS yet.
Oh no, another of the senile patients had escaped, and was enjoying her childhood in the puddles on the road!
Tani and Phil were trying to live their lives as normally as possible.
Aylatani felt bad about using the hospital's beds, since sick people needed them, so she ordered some furniture of her pwn from the Sears catalogue. (Let's just say they have Sears. They're not in the USA, but we'll keep it simple. It doesn't look like IKEA stuff.)
Victoria dreamt about her real Mom, who she hadn't seen in months now. :( Elvira would have to come over and visit her soon.
Violence even folloed the Starblooms to hospital!?
But it wasn't any of them, thank goodness! The old lady was putting up a vicious fight against Payton Raha, because he wasn't her real dad and had no right to tell her not to play in the puddles.
She was afully strong!
Eric: Nurse Raha! You're not engaging in a physical altercation with a defenseless patient are you?
Payton: She attacked me, she's craycray! I was just defending myself!
BTW, Payton is the fella who got into the chemical bath with Phil, when he was getting decontaminated. He was discovered to be a nurse, so now he has to work here.
Eric: I see your enemy sign, nurse! This is very improfessional conduct!
The Old Lady followed Payton into a ward and punched him silly.
Payton: BAWW HAAAA HAAAW I don't even work at this hospital!
He does now. :(
Victoria was getting fit, because she wanted a career in time-travelling. It was her family's business.
Little Matty was feeling better.
Vera: Stop poking your noses into the inhuman screens, and tell me why my son is out of bed!
Matty: Mom! You came to see me!
Very: But of course, Matty! Mommy loves you very much!
Aylatani: Phwoarrrh! Someone's hot! And it's not Jefferson.
Vera: I'm so sad that my son is in hospital! I need a hug. And you need a hug too, because your dad's in a coma.
Vickie: Sure.
It was kind of strange, but she felt sorry for the poor woman.
Meanwhile, at home....
Rianna was keeping lookout, and she got a rude reminder that Ssalamandra and Peter liked to greet the jolly sunrise by performing John Denver songs naked in their backyard while playing accoustic guitar and tambourine.
This was a while ago, so it was still summer. We're about to see the things that happened here while Aylatani, Phil and Vickie-Virginia have been snooping around in the hospital.
Jonathan was gardening like a slave. x) He liked it though, because Jonathan is a sadomasochist.
T'anamika probably shouldn't read the mags at the same time as she's eating cake, though. If grease and marzipan gets on the pages they can't sell that copy. That's not Jolene's experience for one, it was one of her friends. Stuart the ginger-haired (more like auburn?) elf came to visit. It would be cool if Andi could get to know him, so her children could have autumn-red hair like she and Stuart have. But she may still carry a torch for Sean. The future would tell.
T'ana was really glad she was done being a golf caddy. How is anything a slacker job if you have to get up at 4 AM for your carpool! For a slacker that's almost bedtime!
She was moving on in the world, so she updated her look to be more fresh and urban.
Andi and Elena were really good friends now. Elena came over from school a lot. That's great, because they'll probably be living in the same house as sisters-in-law (with Tallie's family) if Andi chooses Sean. I hope she will. Sturat is the backup.
Cindie: I feel like a romantic heroine when I eat an apple. *munch munch*
This is Ian Dimwit. He's Liranda's husband in the Scheiler Uglacy, if you remember. It kind of makes sense that he'd be curious to see his alternative reality family. He doesn't work with anyone here at the moment. Cindy just hauled him in from the sidewalk because she thought he was hot. Then he started dancing, and didn't stop until he got so tired he had to go home.
Ryan: Hi, Kevin. How's it going? Keep digging, my file's in there somewhere. No one's recognised you yet? That's good! Thanks, bro. You're a real champ!
This guy is Brody Branigan. He's Matty's brother. Iris and him bonded as friends over having their mothers being absent because of sick sons and husbands.
T'anamika: STAY AWAY FROM MY DAUGHTER YOU DEMENTED NONCE!!!!!!
Adana cooked the dinner too much.
Ryan: I'm so proud of you for handling it rationally instead of freaking out. Action girls are very hot, no pun.
Adana: I've got really good reflexes from adventuring in virtual reality worlds. I used to climb walls wearing those sensor-suits, and jumping on sliding floors and stuff. My VR helmet showed me what I was supposed to be doing. But back here all I do is yank a joystick all day, and not in the dirty way.
Buck was still freaking out like a boss, despite the fireman having already put the fire out.
Even wolf!Jonathan wasn't hungry enough to eat that.
Then they had to call Marylena 2, to come deliver more food because the fridge was empty. She delivered it to the time maching, because she obviously thought it was a Tardis they lived in.
Wolflady Senior came by on a midnight jog. She's a professor. I forgot to notice if the game froze for a second, sorry Sam! :(
Wait wut? Her last job was at a gas station. Since when is that posh? And AFAIK shop employees can't just nom on the merchandise without paying? But never mind, because T'ana's doing goooood! :D
She's living a teenager dream life, LOL!
T'anamika: Hey bro! Guess who just got promoted? Again! :D
She's still my little girl, and I love her!
Look at this beautiful morning!
It made Ryan and Cindie feeling very romantic.
Everyone was discovering that gardening is a constant battle against weeds and garden moths. :(
It was so hot that Riana had to go sunbathing in the shade, and even then she had to wear sunlotion.
But things were going really good for once! This was probably the happiest their life had ever been, because at the moment no one had any suffering going on! :O
The three girls were adapting to life in a public 20th century school. Jasper was out in the school yard, setting up a table selling some stuff after class.
Jasper: First class health foods and homeopathic medicine available here! Come and buy them here! My prices are the best you'll get!
Jasper: Care to buy anything, girls?
Aami: Sorry, we spent all our cash at lunch. We never bring much money to school.
Iris: What are the needles for? They're huge!
Jasper: They're for injecting the medicine, dumbass corpse girl! (He'd never seen a goth before.)
Iris: You don't inject herbal medicine, you fraud! You're not selling drugs again are you?
Jasper: IT'S MEDICINE, OKAY!??! Kids like me need them to survive daily life!
Andi: Really though? Bath salt?
Ashleigh Garnet who was Student President came out from a PTA conference with her mom.
Bella looked plain and needy.
Aami: Mr. Gast, I think Jasper is selling illegal drugs in the school yard.
Mr. Gast the Geography Teacher: That asshole!
Mr. Gast: Jasper, the young ladies think you're dealing smack. Care to explain?
Jasper: Why yes, Sir! I've taken an after-school employment selling herbal medicine, health food and vitamin suppliments, to support my widowed mother, my legless father and their seven orphan children. Of which I'm one.
Mr. Gast: Really now? Why do your jars say "bath salt" and "eye of newt?"
Jasper: We're very poor, Sir. My parents can't afford to provide me with anything, so I had to scavenge used jars from the tip, which I took home and cleaned thorougly as directed by the Health and Safety Act.
Jasper: I'm just trying to help my family, by also helping fellow students get important medicine they wouldn't have access to otherwise. Does that make me such a bad person, Sir? :'(
Mr. Gast: Oh no, not at all, Jasper! I'm very sorry to have doubted your intentions! Carry on your good work, son. Our school should have many more students like you!
Jasper: You hear that, Aami? >:)
Mr. Gast: I know you've had a difficult childhood Aami, but you really need to think before you make accusations like this against brave peers of yours, like Jasper.
Gasper: I hope you're ashamed of yourself, Aami. My little brother has asbestus, he could have died because of you!
Mr. Gast: I will support your fight, Jasper! I'll have a jar of those mushrooms, and two ounces of herbal tea.
AND THAT TOTAL CREEP CRATER KEPT CALLING!
They were such a good family now, why did he have to disturb their hard-won peace of mind all the time? He's like even creepier than Edgar! TigerAnne just narrowly talked me out of smiting him right then, because she promised he'd die from old age next time she plays that family. HASHTAG FREE SADIE!
Poor Elena, he was her dad! D: No wonder she thought Ryan was a lot cooler in comparison.
Jonathan was being politically incorrect, and used pesticides in the chemical warfare against moths.
All the girls had their own things they liked to do after school, every day. Aamilei loved studying the world and space.
Andi played on the merry go round.
And Iris played on the beach.
T'anamika was a DJ now. LOL, that's Sharkey! He's one of the Magpies. Friday would want him as an ambassador for real.
Summer vacation began, and the girls wanted to go out and enjoy being teenagers, like they should. Iris was like 15 now, so she could do some stuff.
Phil had sneaked out of hospital, because he had a feeling he should keep an eye on the kids. He wasn't all that happy to see Irish there.
She looks really pretty without sunburn.
Aami felt strong attraction towards a guy who was there, as in she was almost pulled towards him. Kind of like her mom had once felt for Edward, just less squicky I guess. And suddenly she understood: He was The One.
He was actually really cute. She just hadn't counted on him having only one eye and looking kind of like a pirate. :O But even if she was a little shocked at that, she could also sense that he meant her no harm, that he was a good person. She probably didn't have to fight the whole universe just to avoid ending up with him as her boyfriend, somewhere down the line. She could see that he was at least five years older than her. It couldn't be anything right then.
Aami had to clear her mind a bit, so she went upstairs. She found Phil hanging with a bunch of literal kids, Brendan McDerp and Nery Turner who was wanted by the Fashion Police.
Iris: You're actually a pretty cool dad, Dad. Especially now that you're not home, and I've had time to miss you. Actually you're not as embarrassing as a lot of other parents.
Phil was very happy to hear that. And yeah, he's Iris' dad, because she never knew Legolas, but she grew up with Phil as her father figure. He formally adopted her a while ago.
And then I noticed something that ANNOYED me, because I have OCD! See those two red arrows? See how the laces don't go through those holes? Yeah.
Aami: I'm so happy I finally know who my fiancé is! And he's a good person, I can feel that.
Andi: You're not really engaged yet, though? Officially, I mean. And what happened to his eye?
Aami: I don't know, but it looks sort of badass when you get used to the idea.
Liam Wyatt, who Williana dumped in foavour of the servo-boy she made, was hitting up Sophie.
Aami and Billy decided to hang out and get used to each other. They went roller-skating, because that was still in at the time.
But they were'nt very good at that.
They were quick learners, tho.
Aami: Wow, Billy! That's awesome!
See? Aami can look beautiful, urban and mysterious too, just like her mother.
Esme: I'm so glad Edward didn't have children with T'ana. They've got red hair!
(Appologies to Sammyfrong and Savanna, but Esme is a gingerist. D: Or maybe a blondist, because she thinks blond is the best coluro. She thinks she's blonde.)
Iris was really happy when Hermione called, and hadn't forgotten her.
I WILL MURDER THAT OLD MAN!!!! HANDS OFF ME, TIGERANNE! YOU'RE NOT DOING ANYTHING ABOUT IT!!!!
Hey, it's Miraluna! It's kind of funny that she's Liranda's daughter, because I think she looks more like Maikana!
She's really awkward, LOL!
OH NO IT RUNS IN THE FAMILY I DFKJSGHDKFSJS JDSKFH DKFJGDSFKJGHKSGDKFJGHS U?
That's great, Buck. You're a trooper. I'm... I'll have to stop here. It's a good place to stop, and also I.... can't even.
