Tax Season 2

>> Wednesday, July 1, 2009

Elizabeth Kauker was last featured in the Uncertainty storyline. She had been a townie who haphazardly fell for Aden Mellon (son of Lucy Hanby, someone Elizabeth figured would understand her predicament). Townies don't age unless one of my playables make them real, and Aden seemed to want to help.

Along came Green Mellon, the legacy heir, smelling of coffee from all nighters spent working on writing his romance novels and swept her off her feet. He and Aden left on break to visit their families, and when Green returned, he was a different man altogether. Their relationship was over (on his end only apparently) and Elizabeth has no idea what happened. (But we do.)

This family's last post

Elizabeth felt as if Aden's eyes were fully noticing her for the first time since they had left college.

"You look beautiful," he said simply.

"Thank you." The words fell out awkwardly. They meant nothing, hers and his. Maybe it was just her nervousness; maybe she was just thinking too much.

"They're waiting. Shall we go?"





Elizabeth and Aden stood under the rented arch in their backyard. Aden's family had not come. No, they were not invited. Aden made excuses, explaining that the wedding was being put together too fast to make the arangements to get all his family out and together. As a compromise, he told his mother they would come out to visit as soon as they could.

But Elizabeth had a feeling that Aden was deliberately leaving his family out of the ceremony. She had no proof, just a gut feeling that he was getting more into his politics career than he was into supporting his family and his formly a service NPC mother.

Glancing through the loose strands of her hair, Elizabeth glanced over at Green and Amanda Mellon. Green had married her right away after he left the college. Elizabeth tried not to think on it. Aden had invited Green with the excuse that they were old college buddies; it couldn't have anything to do with Green's status.

The other couple invited were Aden's boss, Richard Mellon, and his wife, Genesis.

Elizabeth tried not to notice that he almost fell asleep during the ceremony. Thankfully, Genesis poked him in the ribs with her elbow when she noticed.


They leaned in for their kiss as the sun slipped behind the mountain. Elizabeth closed her eyes just as the applause started first from the far corner where Genesis sat and then over to the side nearest Elizabeth where Green and Amanda sat.


The party then moved indoors. Though Elizabeth hardly made it past the kitchen.


*******************


Lately I've been doing a lot of thinking. And reading this site.

Aden and Elizabeth don't have to pay taxes. Those working for the city don't pay, so Aden was always exempt. And since Elizabeth is now married to Aden, she doesn't have to pay either.

Hey, can you please put a "followers" thing on here? I really want to follow it. :)

If only it worked like that in real life! Can you tell I'm a government employee?

It's been a long time since we've heard from Elizabeth and Aden. I had to go and refresh my memory, so I was glad for the link.

I hope it was just nerves for them both at the beginning. The start of this post put a slightly sad tinge over the rest of it.

lol! I know, seriously. But I figure that it'd be silly in my simple economy for sims to get paid from the treasury, and then give their money back. Plus, Richard is very much the type of sim who uses his power to his advantage and I'm sure he wouldn't want to pay his taxes, but he can't just let himself off the hook. This way if anyone asks he can point to a whole bunch of other sims who didn't object. (The sneak!)

I haven't played them too much. And what I have played, I couldn't write about. But the wedding has been planned for a while... and well there was an extra reason why they sort of had to get married in a hurry. Stupid ACR! (But not really, because ACR makes the game fun.)

Ha, shotgun wedding!

Seriously shotgun. I'm sure my face the last time I played them and heard the lullaby was comical. The last sim I'd want to pass on genes. XD
