I made a small community lot to take all of my headshots at.  It took a few cheaty stuff to get the pose boxes in there, but I got it.  This is Jobo and Rydia’s trip there.  I may end up fixing the backdrop for each family, but it serves its purpose and leaves me with room on home lots.

Rydia: You wanted to see me, Jobo?

Jobo: Yeah…umm…heh heh…Rydia, I…

Rydia: What’s wrong?

Jobo: I have something I need to tell you.

Rydia: Then say it!

Jobo: I…have a huge crush on you.  Ever since we moved into the dorms, I found you so beautiful, and—

Rydia: I know.

Jobo: You did?

Rydia: Jobo, you’re adorable, you know that?

Jobo: (blushing): I…well, now what?

Rydia: Shush and kiss me.

Hey, come in my bedroom later tonight.  We need to talk.

Jobo: Hey, Jane, wanna tell me something?

Jane: Sure, what’s on your mind?

Jobo: How do you tell a girl that you like them?

Jane: Well…it depends.  Is this girl single?

Jobo: Not sure.  It never came up.

Jane: Well, maybe you just need to tell her.  I mean, the absolute worst that can happen is she says no.

Jobo: Yeah, no kidding…it’d break my heart.

Jane: I understand.  Can I tell you something?

Jobo: What?

Jane: Rydia likes you.

Jobo: Say what?

Jane: (whispers) Go get her.

I thought that Jobo was due for a more mature look.

Just a couple of shots of the awkwardly cute Jobo.

(Note to self: move that easel to his room)

Kain: My dad was a gamer.  In his prime, he made 65,000 Simoleons a day just designing games.

Jobo: Hmm…that’s not interesting to me.  Let’s talk about fancy jewelry.

Kain: I can’t afford fancy jewelry.  Unless, of course, I rob a bank or something.

Jobo: But…your dad was a gamer making 65,000 Simoleons a day.  I’m pretty sure you can afford it.

Kain: I’m not in the will; my twin sister is.

Jobo: Oh?

Kain: Yeah, and I see you eyeing her.  She’ll poison you with fish, be very careful.

Jobo: So…do you like to cook eggs?

Rydia: Hate it.  I can cook fish perfectly but eggs? They burn so damn much.  

*awkward silence*

Rydia: Sooo…what is your major?

Jobo: I’m not sure yet.  I might go into math.  Something about numbers turns me on.

*more awkward silence and a WTF look from Rydia*

Jobo: Uhh…hi.

Rydia: Hi.

Jobo: So…how do you like my room?

Rydia: It’s…homey, I suppose.

Jobo: Good.  I’m thinking about putting some paintings up.

Rydia: Heh, you do that.

Jobo: By the way, I’m Jobo Boulder.

Rydia: Rydia LaRose, nice you meet you.

Like I said a few posts ago, Mom and Dad LaRose are getting old.  So it was time to send the twins to college.  As you can see, Rydia and Kain weren’t alone.  Time to move Rydia and Jobo’s relationship (which is nil atm) forward.  As for Kain…I have something in store for him too.

Tilly: Holy crap, Dad!  This actually tastes good!  It doesn’t like like elephant poop and rotten eggs today!

Classy.

Jobo’s such a big kid sometimes.

Jobo: Shut up, I’m 13! I can be a kid still!

Tilly: Hey, Miss Goddess, stop breaking the 4th wall!

Uhhh…did a child tell me to stop breaking the 4th wall? HOW THE HELL DOES SHE KNOW WHAT ONE OF THOSE ARE?!!!

[gallery]

Jobo made a new furry friend today.  A stray dog named…Boots.

Tilly: Oh My Goddess! This tastes like an elephant pooped in it!

(Jobo chokes on his Mac n’ Cheese)

Jobo: Oh My Goddess, you’re right!  It really does taste like shit!

Japas did it.  I don’t think he can cook very well.  These poor kids.

Big brother, little sister.

I thought I’d take a break from the LaRoses for a bit because these redheads will have a link to the next part of the LaRose story…type thing.  

Meet the Boulders.  They moved here for a new beginning.  Japas packed up Tilly (child) and Jobo (teenager) after their mother split for no apparent reason.  Jobo doesn’t care much about moving, but since there was nothing he can do to stop it, he adapted.  They moved into an apartment down the street from the LaRoses.  I’m HOPING that one of the LaRose twins brings Jobo home from school.  As for Japas and Tilly, not sure what to do with those two.  We’ll see.

 I didn’t want to do much with this family because I knew I wanted to use them for something with the twins, but they weren’t teens yet.  Now they are teens, so I can play this family freely without having Jobo out-age the twins.
