StrangeSpot, Round Twenty Five: Beaker

Ceres is now popularity/pleasure with the LTW to become a cult leader. She was able to amass an audience by becoming a celebrity chef but she wants more power - classic Beaker things. While she waits for the right career opportunity to come along, she asks Dot Matrix out on a dinner date at the new Restaurant of Nowhere. Ginger Kim, an old flame of hers, gets territorial when she has absolutely no grounds to (which seems to be a common theme with Ginger). Still, the night went well and Ceres wants to make the next one a dream date.

Viggo changes his aspiration combo too, to pleasure/family. It doesn’t change his feelings for June at all - she moves in and they get engaged immediately. He wants to discover a selection of stars and planets to impress her. Aww. The rest of the family realise the household dynamic is going to change after the wedding. Maybe even more Beakers on the way!..

StrangeSpot, Round Twenty Five: Vandermorgan

Marco thinks the wolves of Strangetown are a bit scary. The thought that his big brother Taron wants to become one of them is even scarier! Why can’t he just be happy with having dogs like Tiffany and Piper?

Jill’s new aspirations are popularity/fortune, and her new LTW is to write a bestselling novel. She’s clearly inspired by her father and the many books he wrote - whether they sold well or not, PT9 just loved to write. Jill wants to support herself and her partner Buck and his kids, so while she’s started off selling a great novel, she’s going to keep writing until she gets that success story! (Marco, studying fire safety in the background, wonders if she uses magic to write so well, so fast).

The werewolf pack arrive under the full moon at Jill’s request to make Taron’s dream come true. Later, Buck busts Taron drinking milk out of the carton - and looking distinctly wolf-like. His pale skintone makes for a striking contrast with his newfound black fur in “werewolf mode”.

StrangeSpot, Round Twenty Three: Beech

Ophelia mourns the loss of her cousin Nervous and misses Pandora more than ever. It’s a double whammy that sends her into a flour-cradling frenzy.

Rocky and Ravi share a birthday - to elderhood and childhood respectively. Cynthia pays more attention to Ajay and Ginger’s werewolf transformations than her stepson and grandson’s birthdays. She can’t get enough of the strange stuff in Strangetown! If I had traits mods she would 100% be a supernatural fan. She helps Ravi with his homework later on, and Ajay joins them.

Ginger and Justin welcome their second child, a baby boy named Rohan.

StrangeSpot, Round Twenty Four: Sorority (Uni)

Monica maxes her body skill after taking a physiology course and feels fantastic! Meanwhile, June’s a bit over the whole university experience in general after flunking some of her classes, and seeing Pandora get on the dean’s list and do so well (and not get distracted when aunt Ginger comes round to blow bubbles) makes her feel a bit bummed out.

StrangeSpot, Round Twenty One: Beech

This house really is big, Pandora thought to herself as she mopped up a puddle left behind by one of the graveyard’s ghosts the night before. She’s going to inherit it one day so she resigns herself to cleaning up after literal ghosts... maybe she can do something about them at some point, but until then, she’s made a wish via the genie lamp Ajay brought with him when he moved in: the power to cheat death. It’s not her genie lamp to use but the Grim Reaper’s connection with this place is too strong to take any chances!

Ravi is a toddler now - and so cute! Ajay adores his little grandpup (and assumes he’ll inherit lycanthropy from Ginger).

Speaking of Ginger, she’s found herself in an awkward scenario: she and Rocky have realised they’re in love with each other. The house is big... not big enough to avoid her step-brother-in-law, though. The family fallout would be chaos if anyone caught on and Ginger can feel Cynthia’s side eye as the falling-in-love sound effects blare. Yiiiiikes!

StrangeSpot, Round Twenty Two: Beech

The time has finally come for Pandora to go to university. Ophelia’s going to miss her little girl terribly! Oh, but look at her, she’s grown up so fast and now she’s a young adult, ready to take on the world after everything they’ve been through together.

Ginger’s conundrum continues. She’s pregnant again, with Justin, but her mind keeps wandering to Rocky. She wants him so bad that she considers it cheating when he sleeps with Ophelia... his wife... yeah, not how that works gal!

Beloved dog and pack member Moon dies of old age. Ajay can’t bear to watch and collapses in the prickly pears; Ginger’s devastated to lose her best and longest friend. Goodbyes are hard :(

StrangeSpot, Round Twenty: Beech

This house has a creepy aura but the inhabitants are determined to live out warm visions of cosy bliss within its walls. Rocky serenades Ophelia by firelight, Pandora gleefully juggles in the kitchen, Cynthia shows Ajay her slinky red bodysuit (he falls in love). And the whole family celebrates when Ginger and Justin have their baby boy, Ravi. Ophelia worried her whole life about... well, everything, but top of her mind was being lonely. She never could have imagined this large extended family. She hopes they’ll always be here, for Pandora’s sake.

Justin is somewhere offscreen lamenting his career demotion. I accidentally clicked a chance card option before I could roll for it. Sorry dude!

StrangeSpot, Round Nineteen: Beech

The house that once stood quiet and solemn on Dead End Lane now boasts a hive of activity. Ginger and Justin are expecting their first child together and the grandparents are over the moon! Sadly their beloved cat Cheech passes away, although his work in the Kim family’s scifi sitcom will not be forgotten.

Rocky finds himself demoted back to being an obituary writer. Amazingly, Ophelia doesn’t seem to be worried at all! Pandora has picked up on her mother’s anxieties over the years and realises that as soon as their extended family members moved in, she was getting better at being in the present - not ruminating or regretting as much. It was good to see but it made Pandora wonder if a fear or being alone is hereditary...
