Welcome To Inkwell Secundus

Uh.

Hi.

Yes, I know it's been over a month. No, I didn't have another bout of computer problems -- or another bout of "Alice: Madness Returns." No, I just -- stopped playing for a while. Somehow managed to burn myself out. I have no idea HOW -- maybe Lorina's twins scared me away from the game?

Okay, well, I'm back, and with an update where some shit happens with the Garfunkles, so -- let's see some shit happen with the Garfunkles.
( Lovin' You Is So Hard To Do. . . )

Okay, that's something! Next update -- the Leeches, when we will see if Lucy ever deigns to fall in love with Simon! Hopefully I'll have that up sooner rather than later.

How is it, even when they're not doing much of anything, I can count on the Van Dorts for a decent-sized update?
( Damned If I Know )

Next update -- more pregnant Lorina! We'll see if we get a baby out of it. Uh, no pun intended.

And we're back to EMMETT BROWN, TECHNO-WARLOCK!

Who lives alone, so while he's at work there's a big gap in his day. Damn it.

Well, Carmen should be moving in next update, so have a short update on Doc before we start through the rest of the cycle:
( He at least had people over )

And that's it, sadly. But he's got Thursday off, and like I said, I'm moving Carmen in shortly, so don't despair. Next up, hopefully the McFlys will be doing something more interesting.

Aaand the end of another cycle looms! Again, a visitor makes things slightly more interesting than they might be. Also, wondering if I should update the icon. . .hmm.
( Anyway, Here's An Update Where Gary Does Stuff )

And that's another cycle down! Up next, EMMETT BROWN, TECHNO-WARLOCK! Who may or may not be doing things to deserve the all-caps. We'll see.

My apologies for this one -- it turned out to be a pretty boring update. One of these days, interesting things will happen with this lot again!
( For now, deal with this )

And that's that. I should have something at least slightly more interesting for Lucy next time. Fingers crossed?

Let us see how the Van Dorts are doing, shall we?
( Stupid Frozen Ponds )

Perhaps not the most exciting update, but hey -- there's only so much I can do when I can't restock the shop. It's tough running a fish store when there's a chance you'll go a whole season without being able to buff up your inventory. Next time, the Liddells, and pregnant Lorina! That should be good for a yuk or two.

And now it's time to visit the McFlys -- which oddly enough does NOT feature a visit from Doc. I intended for him to come over when Marty got home from school, but apparently his new work schedule conflicted. . .ah well, we've got 27 pictures anyway. Let's see 'em.
( Buying Clothing! Repairing Things! )

Hope you enjoyed that peek at the McFlys! Next up, the Van Dorts! Maybe Emmett will pay a visit on them?

Well, it's about time he got out of college, isn't? Of course, I'm the sort of person who sticks around for the entire post-graduation period, so you have to put up with Academie Le Tour for another day. Shall we?
( House-Prepping and Dates )

And that's the end of Emmett's college career! Next week -- well, actually, I was thinking more Emmett. I want him to get roughly in sync with everybody else. So look forward to seeing him in his new digs in Inkwell Secundus!

That thing I've been promising will happen for the last two updates? Yeah. Finally happening now. Let's get straight into it.
( LUCY GROWS UP )

And that's her finally all grown up! Next up, the Turret/Notamoron family. We'll see what shenanigans they get up to next time (which will be either tomorrow or Friday, depending on when I decide to play them).

Technically next week! I'm sending another family in a different 'hood on vacation next week, and I might want to use my weekend playtime all on them. So you get an early update on the Liddells. Perhaps not as many interesting things are happening with them as with the Van Dorts, but we've got about 30 picture, so let's see what's up.
( Pregnancy and Food Contests )

So that's the Liddells! Up next are the Garfunkels! Dunno when that'll be (like I said, another family going on vacation), but until then, later!
