#Jaxson Creek

[msbarrows]

Did a marathon play session of TS4 on New Year's Eve, lasting into the wee hours, and got Willow Creek through what remained of her childhood and up to being a teen.

There was lots of family activities as she worked her way through all the different childhood aspirations; she managed to finish all but one of them. Willow didn't have enough time to host a second slumber party, but otherwise got everything else in the Slumber Party Animal aspiration completed.

Jaxson and Leigh aged up at last from Young Adult to Adult; Jaxson could technically have remained a YA a week or so longer, but I had Leigh add a second set of birthday candles to her cake and aged him up along with her instead.

Willow managed to befriend both of the Dads (in her case, technically the Grand-Dads) as well as several children her age. She's gotten really active, and like both her parents before her is also several shades of genius already (all those toddler skills and childhood aspirations have added up to a fair number of awarded and purchased traits for her already).

Leigh finally managed to finish off the Culinary aspiration, and moved on to wanting to be fabulously wealthy. After comparing her daily wage to Jaxson's (which was quite a few times what she was making) she threw in her apron and mixing bowl, and switched over to the astronaut career as well. Though since she now has the ability to make food that never spoils, she's still doing almost all of the cooking for the household. I figure when Willow eventually moves out, she'll probably raid the fridge first ;)

Willow gained her first fame point the moment she aged up to teen, and immediately returned it with a firm No Thank You. Between her father and her dad's dads (and one grandfather's still-living grandmother), she's related to four world renowned celebrities, plus she has a mom who is rocketing her way up the ladder of fame too, and Willow does NOT want to be famous as well. She's real damn tired of paparazzi popping out of the woodwork (and the bushes), and the creepy way people react to the presence of her dad and the Dads (and Gramma Ocean). Okay so some of that is possibly also because the Dads are also both vampires, but yeah. Fame is not an interest for her.

I am very much looking forward to the point where she leaves home and goes off to be a reclusive rancher. Like the last few generations of this family, it may well happen while she's still a teenager.

The Hero and Mage

Jse Puppet Au

Jackie and Marvin first meet.

----------------------------------------------

The door slammed shut, the hero staring at it for a moment before covering his face. " God fucking danm it Reagan..." he felt soft tears beginning to form until he heard a creek. His head popped up and he looked around, " Shit..." he picked himself up, frantically looking around his apartment. " I'm not gonna hurt you Jackie.." Reagan came walking out from Jackie's bedroom. Jackie put his hands up in a defensive position " Oh now you aren't? But earlier when your buds were around you were completely fine with this!? " Jackie screamed. His own best friend. The sole person he had, the only person he had. Completely betraying his trust, handing him over to the villains. Being a villian himself this whole time. " They don't want to hurt you! They just..wanna know how you got these powers...we all kinda do. " Reagan sighed, Jackie just stared at him. He didn't know how to respond. " I mean..think of how these could help people! You seem to be in good health! " Reagan paused after that, Jackie just giving him a very doubtful look. " Okay. Maybe you aren't. But seriously powers like these are extraordinary...if properly controlled. "

" I can control them. "

" Can you? What if there's more you don't know about? What if you black out when these powers are used? Look Iris isn't gonna like..fuckin kill you. It'd just be..light testing. And you get free housing! "

" A cell. I'm gonna get a cell aren't I? Because I'm gonna be treated like a science experiment. Because this is EXACTLY what happens in the comics. " Reagan groaned, pinching the bridge of his nose " Jaxson life isn't one big fuckin comic book! Life is a lot more serious. Yeah this is gonna be a bit of an experiment. Because they need to know if you're safe or not. " Jackie paused for a moment. " I am safe. Sure I'm not the greatest at it but I help people! I use what I have for good! I've messed up a few times sure, the first time that robot apocalypse wasn't a thing but the second time that guy did have bad intentions!! Probably had bad intentions the first time too..." he sighed " I just..I trusted you. You were the only person in my life who knew. And then I find out you're working for people who have helped villians!? Seriously Reagan how am I supposed to trust you! "

Reagan groaned and slammed his hand into the wall. He paused for a second then sighed, regaining his composure, patting down his outfit. Jackie stepped back a bit.

" I'm gonna keep being a hero. I'm gonna keep being JackieBoy-Man despite how completely unserious that name is, yknow why? Because in a world as shitty as this where people shitty like you can get away with what you do..somebody needs to be a beacon of hope. Because you all sure as hell aren't. " The two stared at each other, Jackie putting himself into a more defensive position. Reagan pulled out his phone, shaking his head a bit " They'll be here soon anyways. You have no where you can go...I'm sorry Jaxson it's for your own good. " Jackie's eyes widened..he got away the first time out of dumb luck, lucky that Chase was willingly to hear him out so randomly. I mean, to Jackie, Chase was just the barista he happened to like at the local Cafe. And to Chase, Jackie was just a regular he happened to get along with. Now Chase knows about Jackie too. Maybe..he'd be willing to help Jackie out a bit? Doubt he works for Iris.

The two stood there as Jackie tried to figure out what to do, until something began happening. Some portal looking thing on the ceiling.."...Yall can make portals? " Jackie questioned, looking up at it. Reagan shook his head " Not that I know of...I thought that was you- " the two looked at each other for a moment fairly confused. Faint yelling could be heard, slowly getting louder until someone crashed down in between the two as the portal closed.

"...I don't think he works for Iris- "

" Definitely not- "

The males head popped up as he looked at the two " Iris?! " he held his head a little as he picked himself up, putting his other hand out a little, " What do either of you have to do with that organization.." he had a bit of a British accident to him, long brown hair too with some green. Looked extremely beat up. " Well apparently my so called 'best friend' fucking works for them! " Jackie used both his hands to point to Reagan, Reagan just glared over at him. " And they wanna run experiments on me! I mean how crazy is that!? "

" YOU HAVE SUPER POWERS JAXSON!! THATS NOT FUCKING NORMAL!! "

" SO?? IVE LITERALLY BEEN GOING OUT SAVING PEOPLE?? I CAN PUNCH A LITTLE HARDER AND IM A BIT MORE...ACROBATIC WITH MY ACROBATICS!! "

The male stared at the two for a moment and sighed " I take it you don't like them then? " he looked at Jackie before there was a bang at the door. The three looked over at if before Jackie turned to the male " You can call me Jackieboy, and if you don't like them either mind helpin' a guy out right now?? " The male looked at Jackie for a moment before nodding. " Marvin. " The two got into defensive positions, Reagan sighed " Great..even more paperwork with portal freak...", Marvin turned around to Reagan with a glare " Believe me, the only paperwork being filled out will be an incident report of your men. " He waved his hand across his face as a Cat mask went across it. Jackie looked over in total awe " Oh my god are you like..a fuckin super hero too!? " his eyes practically lit up as Marvin turned over " Ehh..not exactly. Let's worry about that later. "

Within seconds of him saying that the door busted down, Iris workers practically surrounding the door, flooding into the room. Guns and other weapons were aimed at the two as Jackie adjusted his mask, though in all reality it was a bit useless right now. " Lets kick some ass kitty-cat! " A grin went over Jackie's face, though Marvin gave him a confused look. He shook it off however, focusing for a moment before sending a powerful energy blast towards the employees, sending them all back against the walls. Jackie stood there jaw dropped " I...holy shit man- "

" Come on! I'll fend them off while we run. " Marvin took hold of Jackie's one hand and began running out of the room, jumping over any guards in the way. " WAIT!!! WHERE ARE WE GOING?? " Jackie yelled out, trying to keep up the pace, " Wherever! Anywhere away from here is good! " Marvin looked back for a moment before sending another blast just barely past Jackie. While he definitely knew what he was doing it didn't change how reckless he was being. The two ran out into the streets of the city as guards followed behind them, almost feeling endless. Marvin swiftly ran into an alley, pulling Jackie down along side him by the side of a trashcan. He watched as the guards ran by, leaving out a sigh of relief. " Should give us enough time to find somewhere safe..." he looked at Jackie for a moment " Why would they want you for your powers? That just seems unreasonable..."

" Tell me about it!! I mean...you don't see people every day with powers but I can punch a little harder than normal and they think I wanna like...kill people?? Like hell no!! "

Marvin quick hushed Jackie, looking out from the alley before pulling back and sighing again. " You're awfully loud..." he shook his head a little. " Do you know anywhere safe we could say for the time being? Couple hours at least..." he looked out once more, letting go of Jackie's hand and standing up. Jackie shrugged " Uhm...I know a nice Bar? I don't really go to drink but the owner is really nice. " he suggested, Marvin nodded. " Take us there then. " he said as he took the mask he was once wearing off. He had a rather large scar covering his one eye, with a smaller one under his other eye. Jackie stared at him for a moment then nodded " Yeah! Just..when we get there can ya explain that whole portal thing?? "

The two made their way out of the alley, heading down the streets as the streetlights began to shine. It was getting rather dark. They walked for a little before making their way into the Starcrossed Tavern.

~~~~~~~~

" Wait!? So because you wanted to stop this like freaky demon thing that IRIS made your magic buddies exiled you to another universe!? " Marvin loudly hushed at Jackie before taking a swig of his drink. " Yes..now can you please keep it down?? We don't need other people hearing this.." he sighed. " I need to stop him though. He followed me here last second..I want to stop him before he can wreak any more havoc..." he held his head a little. Jackie looked at him for a moment " Why don't we make a deal? You help me out with Iris, and I'll help you with this demon thing! I may not be the most helpful but..better to do it with someone then alone, plus I'm sure my punches could do some damage. " Jackie smiled, a hopeful smile. Marvin paused

" I..as much as I appreciate the offer it..I don't believe it's safe for someone else to get involved.."

" Believe me dude, I've delt with a lot that IRIS or other villains have thrown at me. Besides you helped me today, I owe you! "

Marvin sat there for a moment, looking off to the side. " Ifff you let me I'll let you crash with me! Though we..probably have to stay at a hotel..assuming I have the money to even afford a room..." Jackie lacked...a lot in the funds department. Marvin laughed a little "...Okay then. A deal. " Jackie smiled happily, doing that little yes pose with his arm. " Great! A deal between Jaxon Ridge and Marvin the Magician! " he held his glass up, Marvin laughed tapping his own against Jackie's " I guess so...though please I am much more than a magician. Much more...magnificent than that. " he said, taking another sip of his drink.

" Fine then! Jaxon Ridge...no...Jackieboy-Man, and Marvin the Magnificent! Hows that sound? "

"...Sounds perfect. "

----------------------------------------------

Hiii I hope everyone enjoys this :3 I'll be posting more with this au (especially better ref sheets) soon!! But for now Jackie and Marvin :3

[itsanerdlife]

Hey Ama! I'm looking for something new to read so I figured I'd ask you for some reading recommendations(published or fanfic it doesn't matter) If you don't want to that's completely fine you can just ignore this.

OHHHHH YOUVE PEAKED MY INTEREST. Okay so these are all on Kindle Unlimited if you have it. It’s gold I’m in love with it.

Okay so like I’m obsessed with

The Brayshaw Series by Megan Brady this series is my absolute obsession!

Jaxson Kidman has some GREAT series. Hidden Creek, The Rulz, BFH, Them. All connected and master pieces! He also has amazing stand alone books too.

The Devil’s Riders series by Joanna Blake Omigod so good.

Sinners of Saint series by L.J. shen sooooo damn good and they have the next gene called All Saints High series and it’s delicious too.

Just Ex’s , Just Neighbors - Charity Ferrell good ones such good ones.

Otherwise I don’t read much fanfiction anymore. And for that I’m sorry.

Jaxson said there is no such thing as waving to others. But I remember it was a done thing when I was younger. Day one of our travels barely any one waved back, but day two most did. Do you wave to people driving by you on outback adventures? #travels #waving #passby #outback (at Tennant Creek, Northern Territory) https://www.instagram.com/p/B6uaJBIF8Xe/?igshid=1t65f3k5og4wn

“Hidden Creek Secrets” (Hidden Creek Secrets # 1) by Jaxson Kidman

HOUSE BURNED DOWN? #check FORCED BACK TO MY OLD HOMETOWN? #check NEW SCHOOL? #check RUMORS, DRAMA AND B*TCHES? #triplecheck What could make things worse for me? One name. Weslee freakin' Jackson. The worst of the worst. The one I'm told by EVERYONE to stay away from. Which should be easy, right? NOPE. He's everywhere I go. Stalking me? Maybe. Dark brooding eyes trying to devour me? All the time. There's just one little thing... Wes's eyes aren't the only ones on me. And I think I've started a war. Oops. I didn't ask to be put in this position as I find myself gravitating toward Wes. He says he'll protect me from Hidden Creek High. But who's going to protect me from him?

Some more TS4 playing this evening. Still wasn't sure how I was going to handle their wedding with Jaxson's mother having just died at the end of the previous play session, but then his father called to invite him to attend the Romance Festival, and that's a great place to have a small, simple wedding. Jaxson managed to invite most of his family and some of Leigh's along, and then once they were at the festival they both did additional phone calls to get more family and friends there, and then they had an "impulse wedding" at the venue there. Jaxs' great-grandmother Ocean Tank (who is also Leigh's great-aunt) is actually still alive and kicking (I may have made her immortal, I can't remember now) and was very touched by seeing the two of them get wed. Her great-grandson and her brother West River's granddaughter! How lovely!!

(If I'm reading the relationship charts right, they're each other's 2nd cousin, once removed., which places them seven degrees apart.)

Their wedding hasn't much changed their lives, since they were already living together. The only real change is that I took the wedding as a good point in their lives to change their surname; they've gone with "Creek" as something related to Leigh's surname of River.

Jaxs is still writing lots of poetry towards maxing out the writing aspiration, and also managed to reach the top of the Oracle career. He's probably going to stick with that for at least a little while before finding a different career... something less criminal.

Leigh has been working away at her comedy career and aspiration, and is half a point from maxing the comedy skill and finishing the aspiration. She also had a really lucky card on her last day of work of the play session, and scored a TV opportunity that catapulted her past several job steps and directly to the top of the comedian career track (YAY!). She's about halfway through being a YA, so I think I'll probably have the two of them start thinking about having a kid soon.

Also, I realized during the play session that I'd forgotten something I meant to do before moving Jaxson out of his dads' house; having Sephiroth bite Benson so they can be vampires together. I loaded their household long enough to take care of vamping him out and then made them unplayed again so the game can take care of playing them.

Noticed while doing so that all three of the daughters are also vampires, so I took the time to set up their dark self versions, and do nicer outfits for them since they were in very mismatched random things (as tends to happen when the RNG is making the decisions). Cecelia dresses in yellows, greens, tans, and occasional denim. Of the twins, Emilie is in teals and blues with some black, and Evelyn wears a monochromatic wardrobe of black, grey, and white.

Given how long vampire lives are, and that all five of the du Ciels are pale skinned with pale blond hair, I'm thinking I'm going to be seeing many pale vampires cropping up in the background during future generations of play.

Been working on getting Willow through her teen years. She's been doing very well at school, and now has a ton of friends, of all age groups except elder. Has a platonic BFF that she's gone to prom with, but at this point she hasn't expressed an interest in anyone. Not even one crush.

She's very close to finishing out her current Goal Oriented aspiration. I think once she does, I'll allow her to graduate early and run off to buy herself an (eventual) horse ranch, and let the game take over playing her parents. Though I may rebuild the ranch lot first, I think I want to make it a bit more bare-bones than it currently is. Also I'm having second thoughts about it's current setup with the home being little more than an unoccupied stall in the barn set up with household furnishings; I think I want her to have a tiny shack-type dwelling that she can expand, instead of building a house from scratch once she has money for it.

Her being fairly broke when she moves out is kind of silly, really. Her dad is making ridiculous money as a Space Ranger, between all his bonuses and fame and getting a raise pretty much every time he goes to work. He's currently making more than 2,300 simoleans per hour. In comparison, his wife Leigh - who is still working her way up both the astronaut and fame ladders - is only making about 2,100 per day, and her day runs a couple hours longer then his. Though that's still a considerably better wage than she was earning at the same stage in the culinary track.

[msbarrows]

Been playing my TS4 household a bit each day since the last post. Willow Creek has progressed from baby to infant to toddler to child. Her mom Leigh is close to finishing off both the culinary aspiration and culinary career track. Her dad Jaxson is coasting along at the top of his astronaut career as a Space Ranger; he hasn't changed careers as his and Leigh's schedules are working out very well childcare wise (before Leigh's most recent change in position there was just one day a week where both of them wouldn't be home, and even then it was only for a few hours - Willow spent extremely little time at daycare).

Between his trips into space, paintings, book writing, and now song writing, Jaxson is a B-Lister celebrity, which has led to annoyances like paparazzi waltzing right into their home without invitation. More than once I've had to shoo them away from using the easel in Willow's bedroom - gah, what creeps! Her bedroom door now only admits household members and employees.

I've decided that between her famous vampire grandparents and the results of her father's fame, Willow is going to grow up to be a fame-averse recluse. Since I just picked up Horse Ranch in the sales and already have Cottage Life, I figure she's going to start a small farming/ranching operation and spend her days raising livestock and gardening, at least to start. I've already picked out a nice big lot for her, and started building on it.

[msbarrows]

More TS4! Leigh and Jaxson have reached decent friendship levels with all of their assorted siblings, enough so that they come over independently for visits. Leigh finally got an invite over to her brother's place and was able to meet his wife, teen son, and toddler daughter.

She and Jaxson have been making a daily Try For Baby since the home reno. Without luck. Finally, with a period coming up where she'd work two days, have one off, work one on a day Jaxs has off, and then have three off - great timing for a Sims pregnancy - I had them woohoo like bunnies until she caught. Which meant she was still able to work the first two days of her pregnancy, and then had the third day off without using her maternity leave or vacation time.

They had a big party with all their assorted family members that were available for invites over (I didn't think until later that I should have looked for the baby shower option that's supposedly in there somewhere now - I just did a bunch of phone invites).

Leigh was having a recurring fear of being a bad parent, so I had both her and Jaxs studying parenting over the course of her pregnancy.

Leigh went into labour while Jaxs was off at work as an astronuat, so she asked her sister to go with her to the hospital; the sister showed up also visibly pregnant, with her own third child on the way.

I was amused to find out that at this time, both the receptionist and the attending physician at the hospital are ghosts. Either they're really good at their jobs, or the city is having an employment crisis. Possibly both. Though with all the differently human groups already around in the game, I suppose it's not a surprise that ghosts have an equal opportunity at employment.

Dr. Behr did an excellent job delivering their little daughter, Willow Creek.

Played long enough to age Willow up from baby to infant, and get her moved from a bassinet in the bedroom into a crib in the nursery.

[msbarrows]

Played some more TS4. Leigh finished her comedian aspiration! She's now changed aspirations to being athletic (since she spontaneously goes and uses their home gym a lot). So she and Jaxson went to a gym together so she could knock out the first stage of the aspiration. They both enjoyed the climbing wall machine there.

For now she's keeping her job as a comedian; she's top of the career track so she's making decent money for very few hours of work, which will hopefully work out well with having a kid soon.

Got bored of Jaxson being in the Oracle job, so I've put him in an old favourite - he's now an astronaut.

Jaxson has spent time visiting his dads and all six half-siblings; his dads' daughters are doing fine. His moms' three kids are now on their own; step-mom Ash married out of the household after Molly's death, leaving their three teenagers to care for themselves. They seem to be doing all right though; the house is clean, and one of the boys cooked a meal while Jaxs was visiting.

Played long enough for a Rebate Day to roll around, at which point I made some changes to their house. An additional bedroom and bathroom have been fit into the ground floor, so they now have room to have a child (and have started making an occasional Try For Baby). I also expanded and deepened the basement, so that they could fit in a climbing wall of their own, and have doubles of some of the exercise items (his & hers running machines and yoga mats). Moved the small book nook slash home office area into a niche of its own, and change it from a home office to a sitting-and-reading area, including a bear chair and child's bookcase for future offspring to use.

Since Jaxson is in the astronaut career now, I also put a rocket ship kit building area in their back yard, where both Jaxs and Leigh can work on their rocket science skill. They've installed a mission control desk in the adjacent garage, which Jaxson came home with after getting a promotion while I was playing the remainder of Rebate Day.
