Vampires Can Die??

Yesterday I got a really sad message on my game. Alice has died. She was 62 and perfectly healthy - I know because I'd just seen her and Jasper working on their careers about five minutes before. Anyway, I got a shot of her death announcement. Jazz was pretty depressed at first. He was 59 when she passed. But, after giving him groceries and cooking a meal (so sad to see him eat alone!) I let him have a sweet mango to boost his health which had gone down a little. I guess the mango boosts happiness too, because Jasper's status went from depressed to a little blue. After that I kinda let him do whatever he wanted.

Amazingly, he still worked a lot. But I also saw him reading the newspaper and napping and watching tv. And it was when he was watching tv that his status changed to happy! I was quite impressed that he could bounce back so quickly - within a game year! Anyhow, he turned 60 last night and I paused the game so I wouldn't miss his passing. It'll happen sometime tonight, I'm sure. I'm ready for it.

Also, got a couple of letters when I unpaused the game this morning. One from Brandon - who is the first child to write from college since Violetta talked about a rash she was getting many years ago. Jasper sent me a letter too. He asked for groceries and told me that Alice was gone. A year late there, Jazz!

RIP Alice. At least Lilliana has company now.

EDIT: Whoa! I just paid $250 for some trainer to help Jasper with his job. Jazz was already on level 7, but with the help from the trainer, he advanced one full level. He's now at the highest level, a Master! And he's making $300 a day now. ^_^ Not too shabby since I heard a lot of people saying that first generation peeps never make it to Master.

Jenny just left for college. It's strange, after seeing six kids running around for so long, to just have Zora living at home. Lizzy's 57, Jensen's 55, and Zora is 16. I'm hoping that Liz and Jensen will last for a few years after Zora goes off to college. I don't think they ever truly lived alone. As I remember it, I made them have a child before they finished cleaning up the house. Oh, and Zora got a letter from her big brother yesterday! The last two pics are of a teenage Zora, and the last three family members fixing a part of the floor today.

Lastly, I've either been neglecting this family or Liz and Jensen have been working really late hours. When I logged in today, they have over 7000 dollars! I won't upgrade a workroom since Lizzy uses the kitchen and Jensen uses the office, but it's definitely time to go shopping! ^_^

Logan is 50 and Zia's 49. They're both grey, but walking with the same energy they've always had.

Katie went to college. I'm kinda sad. Her and Dean were my favorites. Now John and Mary are 51, Laura's 18 (and saying no way to kids) and Sammy's 16. I am happy that Sammy's grown up a bit. He was a trouble-maker.

I tried one last time yesterday to make Balun and Calla have another baby - I thought I could leave them with two girls and two boys, but they refused. Eclis is now off to college and I won't try for any more kids. Balun is 44, Calla's 43, Saphina is 11, and Stephen (formerly named Stephone) is 7.
