Tifani Triumph: Intelligence Years Part 5/Political Years Part 3

Back at the main house Jeremiah is still mourning his Jana and daily visits her grave to update her on his pursuits, namely politics and Felicia, and attempt to gain her counsel and advice.  Personally, not sure that her counsel was always for the best but she did always want the best for her boy.

Jill is still fuming that Janabel intentionally passed away when she did as a last ditch effort to one last time ruin someone else for her own gain.  Not sure what she thinks Janabel gained but there is no reasoning with a hackered off Jill.  She needs six friends to get the promotion.  She does have enough people in her phone book.  She's got to formulate a plan.

 So truth is I chose the picture more to show you how that nose is choosing to hold in there to the 5th generation already.  For the love of profiles everywhere, when will it breed out!  Never mind the nose, for now, Jill needs a plan and she has the next few days off to get the needed friends.  She's pushing him to do his part too as he has a few people in his book that he's not friends with...yet.

Jill spent the next two days flagging down every walker that went by her mailbox.  Out for a jog?  Jill will hold you up until you become friends or run for your life because heaven forbid she won't let you into the house to potty if you aren't friends yet!  (Kinda an Apocalypse rule anyway but well, ya know...) 

While Jill is going crazy on the friend wagon Jeremiah is finding creative ways to spend time with Felicia.  He'll age to adult soon and wants to ensure that their relationship is ready for the next step as soon as possible.  They go on an amazing date, sorta.  There was a glitch that prevented her wants from showing so he was constantly 'what do you want?' do action, 'what do you want?', do action over and over and you get the idea.  They ended up with a dream date but I have NEVER worked so hard for a good date than I did that night!  And like a bad Ruler I didn't remember to grab a screenshot.  Needless to say though, in a few days when these two grow up engagement and marriage are set in stone.

Having worked the streets every waking moment Jill is off to work again after her days off with exactly enough friends to get a promotion.  She's happy.  She's skilled.  And if nothing goes sideways she has enough friends.  Wish her luck!

Go Jill!  I have to be honest, I never really ever in a million years saw this coming.  Let's face it, Jill is not the cream on the top in the intelligence game.  Apparently the ability to have coherent conversations does not preclude you from sideways luck and  a lot of time working the streets.

Out of the shadows shines a light. While they work in secretive and mysterious ways, the recently re-instated SCIA brings trust back into everyday living. With thoroughly checked out agents filling the ranks, operatives are sent out to clearly distinguish friend from foe. Information travels quickly and soon everyone knows who is trustworthy and who is not. As the paranoia fades, a sense of community blossoms. Sims ask questions of their neighbors to learn about them. Gifts are no longer looked upon with suspicion. The Intelligence Restrictions are lifted.

The hostility toward the departed Janabel settles in the house and Jill finally lays off the walk bys.  Seriously, the neighborhood was starting to get a reputation and people were going out of their way to avoid walking by the house while Jill was home.  Within a few days Jeremiah's birthday came and he happily aged to adult, ready to take on the world and convince Felicia to become his wife.

That same night Jeremiah invited Felicia over for dinner with the family.  It was truth time, did Felicia have the grace and strength to be a political wife? Over dinner Jeremiah orchestrated a surprise proposal and she said Yes!  Even after he pushed the ring box through Jill's plate she grabbed that ring like it was oxygen and tossed the box over her shoulder.

They spent the evening planning their future and then Felicia went home for the night. The next day Jeremiah had her back over and they sealed their future with rings and vows and pledges of eternal whateverness. 

Jeremiah has some big decisions to make for his public service future.  Felicia has some even bigger decisions on how she is going to best benefit this family, and community, as well.  Though she doesn't know it yet.  Paul just wants a grand baby, which perhaps will stop him from walking around with the call and get a child thought bubble all.the.time.  Jill is just obliviously happy to have maxed out her career.  And thus ends another week for this family.  Until next time...
