I am moving and continuing my Wyrd Girls story from What Happened In Your Game Today? over here to Creative Corner. I plan to repost and possibly expand the existing story here and, of course, continue it. - L

"He's been tinkering..." https://i.imgur.com/Z7oE6PY.png
"... and he says he's upgraded Talos, his robot, with 'nanny protocols'" https://i.imgur.com/hW8Hpam.png
"Actually," Morgan continued, "Talos has been really good to have around..." https://i.imgur.com/7L0Ekws.png
"... and he seems really interested in the baby. It might work." https://i.imgur.com/jRbiorv.png
"Well, you let us know if we can help with anything," Cassie said.
Miranda turned to Bella, "Mom told me you'd moved to Oasis Springs."
"I wanted to give Alexander and Morgan some space," Bella replied. "This is their house now... but Morgan you know I'll help out in any way I can too."
"Of course. Thank you, all," Morgan said. https://i.imgur.com/RmFInqh.png
@luciusstorm Love the line: "I don't get why otherwise intelligent people become babbling idiots around babies," Miranda declared. Spock said something very much like that when both Kirk and Dr. McCoy were busy cooing all over the baby boy named after them.
@luciusstorm Great episode as always. Did you use a mod on Morgan?? There is the old saying "It takes a village to raise a child". I swear Morgan was carrying that entire village, along with the child.
@GalacticGal Kids and animals are the two things guaranteed to reduce adults to babbling fools.

Logical exercise gone slightly awry... if there are 8 sim-days between full moons, then a sim-month is ~7 days, a season is 3 months, so a sim-season is 21 days (mod), a pregnancy is 3 seasons... so Morgan was pregnant for 63 sim days (another mod) instead of the default 3. Turns out that wasn't my best idea ever. Still, it kept her pregnancy running in the same logical timeline as the other events in the story, so that part worked.

"... alchemy, astrology, thaumaturgy," she continued. "My life is so weird." https://i.imgur.com/yXvoW6R.png
"What would you say to a trip into the city to visit the art center instead?" Cassie said.
"I'd say what's the catch?" https://i.imgur.com/OzsF2aq.png
"I'm meeting a friend of mine and I'd like to introduce you," Cassie continued. "Her name is Jenny and she just a few years older than you." https://i.imgur.com/tSpAF1P.png
"I met her at the studio. She's an aspiring actress. .. https://i.imgur.com/xs5Z4vO.png
"I have this feeling she could use some friends..." https://i.imgur.com/dhLHz0l.png
"Sometimes the people a young woman can meet in this business, directors and producers especially..." https://i.imgur.com/yn3pJDA.png
"... well, they can try to take advantage." https://i.imgur.com/UPvTRMV.png
"I just get a sense that Jenny needs some different people in her life."
"Well, we're certainly different," Miranda mused. "Oh, alright, mom. I'm come meet your work-friend. It's better than school anyway." https://i.imgur.com/caicHMx.png
"Hi, Miranda," Jenny said, "Wow, I love your hair. Your mom said you were pretty cool."
"Jeez, mom," Miranda muttered.
"I know," Jenny laughed. "Just what every teen wants to hear, am I right?" https://i.imgur.com/BhjrkIF.png
"... and you can see, from the use of color here," Miranda was saying. "Oh God, I'm being a total art-nerd."
"No," Jenny said. "Well, yes... but I love it. I don't know anything about art theory." https://i.imgur.com/biMQZzi.png
"I was raised by an artist and a musician," Miranda said. "I was learning color theory before I could walk and was playing violin when I could barely hold the bow." https://i.imgur.com/WsMm27H.png
"Oh my God," Jenny grinned. "You play violin too. Can you give me some pointers?"
"Mom would probably be better," Miranda started.
"No way," Jenny shook her head. "When it comes to music, your mom just makes me nervous." https://i.imgur.com/bfjbhtJ.png
Later, as they sat in the art center food court, Jenny thanked Miranda and Cassie for the day.
"It was really nice meeting you," Miranda said.
"Meeting your mom's weird friend from work, you mean," Jenny grinned.
"Believe me," Miranda said, "you're not one of her weird friends." https://i.imgur.com/EDamwco.png
"Speaking of weird," Jenny said. "I wanted to maybe ask you about something, Cassie... kind of out there." https://i.imgur.com/WuK0346.png
"I know you've got the whole occult schtick going on," Jenny continued, "but do you really know about... that kind of thing? I mean..."
"Why don't you tell us," Cassie said calmly. "Don't worry, I won't just dismiss what you say and neither will Miranda." https://i.imgur.com/qBh1YB2.png
"Well," Jenny started, "sometimes weird stuff happens in my apartment..." https://i.imgur.com/ggXx7hq.png
"Like furniture moving on it's own... I mean really moving..." https://i.imgur.com/LscL8PE.png
"And this one morning, I found myself sitting, eating breakfast but I had no memory of getting up... or where the breakfast came from..." https://i.imgur.com/hZT1mGT.png
"When I thought about it later, I had this fuzzy memory of some strange guy in my bedroom. Like, not the usual kind of strange guys who try to get into my bedroom either. He was scary... but I'm sure - complete sure - that nothing like... happened... with him. I feel like someone... protected me?" https://i.imgur.com/wG75OpX.png
"It's scary," Jenny concluded.
"Oh my," Cassie exclaimed. "I had no idea. Let me do a little research... but I'm sure we can do something to help." https://i.imgur.com/3NI2ovZ.png
"It was nice meeting you, Miranda," Jenny said as they left the art center. "I mean, I know you probably weren't to excited about meeting me. Honestly, I wasn't too sure about it either... but I really do think you're pretty cool."
"You too," Miranda said, "and don't worry about the weirdness. I'm sure we can figure out a way to help. We're kind of experts on wyrd." https://i.imgur.com/32Y18Hs.png
"We'll start simple," Cassie replied. "I'll create a seance circle and see if I can detect any spiritual volatility in the apartment." https://i.imgur.com/UZv78Fl.png
"If we find something," she continued, "we'll decide how to deal with it."
"You done this before?" Jenny asked.
"Eh," Miranda shrugged. "Don't worry. Mom's got this." https://i.imgur.com/J6ZxwtH.png
"Ummm, is the carpet on fire?" Jenny asked.
"It's fine," Miranda replied. "I'm sure it's fine." https://i.imgur.com/0ufFcP2.png
"Well," Cassie said, sitting down the couch. "There is certainly a lot of spiritual energy bound up in this place but I sensed nothing hostile or dangerous."
"So, nothing to worry about," Jenny said.
"No, just a ghost." https://i.imgur.com/IivVK7R.png
Ooookay," Jenny sighed. "Could we talk more about the 'ghost' part for a minute?" https://i.imgur.com/78eYnL5.png
"There are lots of different kinds of ghost," Cassie said. "This one seems to be the spirit of someone who passed away in the apartment. Like I said, the spirit isn't hostile or dangerous. Just... active."
"Mom, do you think you could call this spirit up?" Miranda asked. "If Jenny's got a room-mate, maybe they should meet."
"OK... I guess that's an idea," Jenny said. https://i.imgur.com/UxmVpat.png "So, you've seen a lot of ghosts?" Jenny asked.
"Not really," Miranda admitted. "Werewolves, vampires... but not many ghosts."
"Wait, Oliva Kim-Lewis-You-Met-Her-At-Uncle-Xander's-Wedding?" Miranda cried. "This was your apartment? You... you were investigating our disappearance and they killed you! They killed you because of ME! This is all my fault!" https://i.imgur.com/P1cDMjm.png
"What do you mean your fault?" Olivia asked.
"If you'd known I was alive..." Miranda started.
"I'd still have investigated," Olivia said. "I'd have investigated the attack and the crime ring behind it and eventually the vampires behind them. They would have come after me, sooner or later. Trust me, being dead gives you a lot of time to think about your life... to think about what you might have done differently. I have a lot of regrets but investigating your case isn't one of them." https://i.imgur.com/3sLpZcF.png
"So, umm... hi, I'm Jenny," Jenny said. "I guess you probably know that..."
"It's nice to finally get to say hi, Jenny," the ghost replied. "Like Cassie and Miranda said, I'm Olivia. I used to live here... died here... haunting the place. I've been watching you for a while."
"Oh that's..." Jenny hesitated, "a little creepy and probably really embarrassing actually." https://i.imgur.com/2gD8XxC.png
"Oh, you have nothing to be embarrassed about," Olivia laughed. "Well, maybe one or two things... but compared to some stuff I used to get up to... don't worry about it. Mostly, I've been trying to look out for you. I can't do much about handsy casting directors (you guys didn't even notice me) but I managed to scare off that vampire... and make you breakfast." https://i.imgur.com/kRf2ab6.png
"So, what happens now?" Jenny asked.
"Well," Cassie said, "We could try to lay Olivia to rest... you could move on to the netherworld." https://i.imgur.com/YGrqCJK.png
"Is... is that what you want?" Jenny turned to Olivia.
"I don't know," Olivia said. "I don't think I'm ready yet. You OK with a room-mate? I can't help with rent or anything but I can cook." https://i.imgur.com/lIaLtgA.png
"I guess we're good," Jenny said. "Thank you, Cassie." https://i.imgur.com/g0VJuII.png
"Miranda," Olivia said, "please don't blame yourself for what happened to me. I don't. If anything, you helped get me some justice for my death. I felt that very strongly. I just have other things to resolve before I move on..." https://i.imgur.com/qjIPxX9.png
"So," the bartender said, "you ladies celebrating something?" https://i.imgur.com/mN98pt4.png
"Jenny met her room-mate," Miranda said. "but she couldn't join us 'cause she's a ghost."
"Right..." the bartender grinned and moved on. https://i.imgur.com/KFh33zM.png
"Hey, if we're celebrating let's do it right," Jenny smiled. https://i.imgur.com/r8XdhZA.png https://i.imgur.com/0WMJTGI.png https://i.imgur.com/qIaGwn7.png
Olivia doesn't blame me, Miranda thought. I guess maybe that is something to celebrate. https://i.imgur.com/FtmULxp.png
Thanks, mom. https://i.imgur.com/iLW2PoR.png
