Top left is Candace's current hair for formalwear. At the time I originally put it onto her, it was the only 'star' hair that I was aware of, but Chazy has since made a couple of others! I'm considering swapping it out for the bottom hair. It's actually slightly lower in poly count, although it's a longer hair. I think it's also a bit more elegant and makes her look younger.

The up-do I'm considering for her swimwear outfit.

I love these hairs for her, since she's obsessed with stars. She feels they help her visualize how she will one day BE a star. In line with her Diva trait, she wants the entire world to know that she'll one day BE a star, and to recognize her star quality.

I also tried changing her formalwear outfit, but.... while I like this one, I feel like the old one suits her better.

I have no idea why I have so many photos of her staring at her mailbox...

[ktarsims]

Annnd then they both left together. Hey Candace, is there something going on here I wasn’t aware of?

[ktarsims]

Candace re-appeared about an hour and a half later to hang out with this lady, who owns the building...

[ktarsims]

Candace’s job title is Fire Chief. Apparently this means she can give herself time off whenever she likes and just fly away in the middle of the work-day...

Once Renzel had repaired the PC, they sat down to chat about computers, work, etc.

[ktarsims]

Candace: “Well, I suppose magic isn’t always best suited to repairing technology...”

Renzel: “We speak the same language. *Leans in close* I understand. I will fix this ‘in a jiffy!”

Candace: “In a jiffy? That is SUCH an antiquated term.”

[ktarsims]

Candace: “I don’t know why it broke suddenly, but I’m sure I can figure out how to fix it...”

Renzel: “Certain you could, but there’s no need. I am expert!”

[ktarsims]

Candace sitting down to slack off since there’s no emergencies currently...

[ktarsims]

Candace also decided to show up for work, it seems. She arrived in good time to distract Renzel so that he lost his footing on the treadmill and then look innocent while laughing internally...

[ktarsims]

And some other outtakes of Candace getting abducted. I told you I took a lot of these. Okay, I’m done now...

[ktarsims]

Candace hauled herself back across the street to her new ‘home’. “I don’t even know the status of this ‘home,’” she muttered to herself and sighed. ‘Maybe I AM tired. Also I should probably eat...’ She went inside and to the kitchen, to make herself something to eat. Once it was made she stared at it, not actually feeling hungry, and then put it in the refrigerator for later. ‘A bath. A nice hot bath.’ She went upstairs and spent some time soaking in hot water. She felt calmer after that, and decided that what she really needed was a bit of perking up. ‘I’ll have a chat with Azrael.’ 

Feeling that this was definitely the right choice, she went into the spare room upstairs where her magic mirror was installed. “Magic Mirror on the wall, who is the fairest of them all?” A ghostly face appeared in the mirror, “You know it’s you, my dear, but need we really always start out that way?” Candace grinned. “It’s been a rough day, Azrael. Besides, sometimes it’s nice to hear it. Apparently Aunt Tabitha was a big deal at this school when she was here. I haven’t found out precisely why yet though. Also apparently there’s sometimes a waiting list to get into the school. And this town has a curfew. A CURFEW. The school is full of good looking guys though. So that’s a bonus.”

“Woah, woah. Slow down my dear.” Azrael, as usual, cut to the interesting bit immediately, “Full of good looking guys, eh? Perhaps there’ll finally be some ROMANCE in the air!” Candace smiled. “Let me tell you all about them...” but before she could continue, Azrael interrupted her, “Don’t look now, but something is happening out on the street.” Candace raised an eyebrow. Azrael very rarely interrupted her. She looked left out the window and saw that he was right... there were some strange lights in the sky. “That’s interesting. I’ll be right back, Azrael, I want to see what this is.” She ran back downstairs and out the front door to get a better look.

Candace waited inside the door of her home until she hear the officer’s car driving away. Then she crept quietly out her front door, to the mailbox. Her memory was still vague and unclear, but she very clearly remembered that it was imperative that she return the bicycle. She must make arrangements for that immediately. Having done so, she went inside and ate her dinner, still trying to piece together a clear picture of what had happened.

‘Seriously though... he’s warning me for being out after curfew like 5 feet from my front door? What kind of draconian measure is that? He also said someone told him to come here. Did one of my neighbors report me? I remember.... lights... and talking to Azrael... something to do with Binye?’ She sighed. ‘I’ll ask Azrael tomorrow.’ She was too exhausted to go summon the mirror spirit again right now.

She climbed into bed and was soon fast asleep in spite of her still questing mind.

While Candace was still lost in oblivion, an officer showed up on the sidewalk. As she was teleported back down from the space ship, he stepped forward and caught her as she was woozy on her feet and led her to his patrol car a few feet away. Candace’s first conscious thoughts were scrambled and incoherent. At the moment, she only remembered that somehow her day had gone horribly wrong.

When she opened her eyes, she was sitting in a police car parked on the street in front of her house and there was a concerned looking... fairy? standing outside the open door and watching her. She was so confused that no words came, and she just stared at him blankly. He directed a query at her, “Are you feeling a bit better now, ma’am?” Candace blinked and started to nod, then stopped and took an internal assessment before replying, “I seem to be okay, officer, thank you. What are you doing here? Or rather, why am I in a police car?”

As she took a deep breath and tried to remember what had happened or what she had been doing before, the officer frowned slightly. “Well, miss, I was hoping you might tell me how you came to appear out of thin air on the sidewalk here where I’d been told someone was lurking about out after curfew. Were you taking something you shouldn’t have and managed to black-out or something?” Candace instantly felt affronted, and fought to not be biting in her response, “The last thing I remember, OFFICER, was being inside my house getting ready for bed. I’M the victim here. You say I appeared out of thin air? I was under the impression that magic wasn’t allowed here.”

The police officer looked nonplussed at her attempt to turn this around. “Now see here, miss. There was no one else about. I came looking for a teenager out after curfew and probably up to no good and you appeared in front of me, barely able to stand and clearly the worse for drink or drugs or something equally debilitating. We have a curfew here for a reason, and you need to respect that. Now, since it’s your first time, I’ll let you off with a warning and take you home. Whereabouts are you staying?”

Candace was starting to vaguely remember something about lights out the window that Azrael had pointed out to her. She gave the officer a morose look and then pointed behind him. “I’m staying right here. I clearly didn’t stray far from home.”  The officer gave her a wry look. “Or at least, you set up in advance a way to return. Alright, let’s get you back into your house, and I don’t want to catch you out after curfew again.” He escorted her to her front door and watched her walk in.

Memorialized on canvas.... okay, I’m realllly done now. I swear.
