April 2085: date night
April 2085: Barbara McCullough is 41, Phillip is 43, Ruby is 18.
"What are you wearing?" Ruby scowled at her mother. "Haven't you had that blouse since like, 1972?"

April 2085: happy birthday, dear Ruby (spring birthdays)
*** mildly NSFW for one quick boob. When Darla wants her top off, she gets her top off, lol! ***
April, 2085. Ruby McCullough is 18 years old.
The car was painted a shade that Ruby couldn't decide if it was supposed to be brown or green, bringing to mind things like mud, or bugs, or excrement.
"What is this color? It looks like horse shit! How can I drive this while people still have eyes!?!"
April, 2085. Ruby McCullough is 18 years old.


April 2085: lie to you, part 2
April 2085: Benny and Leo are 21; Sophia, Charlie, and Natty are 20 years old; Josh is 18.
Soundtrack: "Would I Lie to You?" by Eurythmics

Natty found the party, after driving for miles figuring she'd missed the right spot. "A patch of trees around the bend," he'd told her. "Look for the fire." So she finally saw the fire, small as it was, and she parked behind a row of bushes. She didn't see anyone she knew, a couple guys playing kicky bag. "Whoa," one of them said, dropping the bag. "Girl just came out of the woods."
"Whoa," the other one said, and then they both started to laugh hysterically. They were drunk already, and maybe high too. It smelled like campfire and the earthy smell of rain, and she didn't see Josh anywhere. She considered maybe this party was a bad idea, but then the first one of them came over and greeted her.

April 2085: lie to you, part 1
April 2085: Charlie and Natty are 20 years old, Josh is 18.
Sountrack: "Would I Lie to You?" by Eurythmics
She remembered the first time they did it -- "did it", because at fifteen, you're not really mature enough to "make love" yet, even if you might really grow to love each other some day. It was her idea, after school before her parents got home for work. They had approximately sixty-five minutes and two condoms, and so it happened.
At twenty now, in their second year of college together, Natty had loved Charlie as long as she could remember knowing how to love. She loved him even though he was annoying sometimes, and a little bit anti-social, and had planets and stars on his boxers. She loved him because she'd grown up with him and watched him become a man. She loved him because she couldn't imagine loving anyone else.

on Nessa Phoenix and Sim cancer

I realize now that I never blogged about the gameplay tidbit that prompted Nessa's cancer storyline, which I promised I would write about after her story was finished.
