Fanon:The Genesis Project/Chapter 12

The Harper Household
I didn't know that I would feel this way, but I am truly sad with so many of my friends gone. I can't imagine being without them. There hasn't been a time that I remember being without them. Maybe I was before I arrived here, but I will never know if that were the case or not. So I guess the chapter of the Original 8 is slowly coming to an end, and a new chapter is beginning for the next generation.

And speaking of the next generation, my boys have produced some fine young lads. Chad, Lee, and Brad are all now teens. Chad currently has an A+ from school. He's a smart kid. Lee has an A-. He could probably have gotten an A+ had he decided not to focus on some book that he and a couple of his cousins found. He told me that he is learning the way of the light, whatever that means. Brad currently has a B. He takes a little after his dam with his passion (or lack thereof) for learning lessons. And my youngest grandson Corbin is now a toddler. He is walking, talking, singing, and everything else. He is in such a hurry to follow his brother and cousins to school. I tell him that he will in just a couple of days, but he just can't wait. I'm sure that David would have been the same way if we had a school like we do now.

And speaking of the school, it currently isn't much. I am going to ask Sean -- I mean Alex to make me some chairs and tables for the kids to be able to sit and write on while they are learning their lessons. That way they won't have to sit on the grass any more. I see the grandsons sitting on the floor doing their homework after they come home from school that it has made me realize that they are doing the same all day at school. I know that I get uncomfortable writing these reports once every quarter, so I can only imagine how they would feel doing it almost everyday. You could say that it is because I'm older, but I just have a feeling that it will be really bad for them when they get to my age if I don't do something about it now. Talking about plans, I still haven't even gotten some building done for the cemetery, but I will do that this season as well because my friends deserve it. I have better hurry because I have no clue how long it will be before I join them.

With regards to the other businesses, the Real Estate and Art Gallery are becoming quite quaint. The Real Estate has a few lots ready to be bought for anyone in the neighborhood, and the Art Gallery has several of my paintings up for sell. Jim's Music Store is actually becoming quite the place as well. While Jim may have had a disinterest in learning, he sure has a great interest in all things music. He has created some rather interesting instruments that are quite pleasing to listen to. I am very glad that I gave that lot for that side of the business front.

The Carpenter Household
It still feels weird to be writing these reports now. I know that it has almost been two full seasons since my dam passed away, but it still feels like it was yesterday. I only hope that I am running things the way that he would have wanted me to run things.

My son, George, as well as my nephew, Jacob, are now teens. They have really taken to learning the weights, which I am quite happy about. I have also put them to work at the Carpentry as well, so they are learning some business talents. Drew and I haven't been able to teach them much in the way of business secrets, but we will soon. They have also been enjoying school. They are meeting several of their cousins, which I think is a good thing. They need to meet the others in their family, which is quite large now that I come to think of it. In fact, it seems that they are related to everyone in the community. I hope that they aren't because that wouldn't be good for them since they really want to have children.

The Rec Center has been able to expand somewhat. I think it just might become closer to the vision that my dam had for it, to become the fitness center for the entire community. The Carpentry is coming out quite nicely too. I have been adding more variety of items to the store so that Sims can have more unique carpentry for their homes and businesses. That way we can have more diversity and beauty in the community.

The Fisher Household
Well, this report is going to short. My dam passed away this morning and didn't have report written up as usual. He did always wait until the last minute to write it up. I'm not sure how he was able to remember all that had happen in the past season to be able to write up a decent report. In any case, I will have to do the same for this report because he didn't even have any notes anywhere for me to find.

My twins are doing well. I have started to give them some responsibility around the store and fishing. I wouldn't be surprised if they become apt fishermen just like their granddam. Caleb has also grown up some. He is really excited that he can now fish just like everyone else instead of just watching us from his crib. He still has a way to go before he has the handle on the rod to where he doesn't get tangled up in it before the fish do. And the store is steadily growing, but fishing seems to be the hardest business in the community. Maybe I can change that.

The Baker Household
I don't even know where to begin with this report. I don't know how my dam was able to consistently write up these reports without much of a problem. Maybe it is because Zack and I never gave him that much of a problem. Ace has decided to join with a group of the other kids in some rather strange stuff. I will occasionally find him chanting some peculiar stuff that he is reading from a book. When I ask him about it, he says that he is just practicing something for school. I have asked the others about it, and no one has given them anything to chant - much less know where this book came from. There have been a couple of times while Ace was gone at school that I found the book and thought about thumbing through it, but I haven't done that yet. I know that I would notice the something was different if someone touched my stuff, so I don't want to do that.
