VeronaHills, Round Twenty Four: Printer Sisters (Uni)

Dot could now confidently write a song about near-death.

It would be a new theme for the Printer Sisters discography, who favoured slick instrumental breaks in between lyrics about pouring whiskey over the establishment, but Dot saw a lit match being thrown into that in her mind's eye. She just wanted to cook a nice dinner to celebrate her and Daisy making the finish line of university, but the hellfire that consumed the roast had other ideas. It was pure luck that the volunteer student firefighter club had been in their gear for clubs day, and Daisy was running late back from her date at the beach, otherwise two thirds of the band could've just... gone. Dot felt like throwing up at the thought of JoAnn being left as the solo act, with an audience of pitying eyes.

Make the most before the hellfire comes to raise a glass and toast to the end... pity eyes that cannot see the empty stage of all the things that could've been... Dot hummed work-in-progress lyrics to herself as she sponge-bathed at the downstairs bathroom sink, her immediate response to the shock being to toss her smoke-ridden clothes and scrub off the heat. Closing off the student era of the Printer Sisters could only be a good thing now. The firefighters had been hella gorgeous in their gear; Dot never wanted to see them again. Only JoAnn, and Daisy, and Helen inviting them to stay in her newlywed cottage while they scrounged up their new band digs.

Fresh air and only metaphorically fire tunes.

Band Name

The Printer Sisters was a good name for JoAnn Gutenberg, Dot Matrix, and Daisy Wheels, but River Land upsets the theme completely. So what should they call themselves on their debut album?

What Should The Printer Sisters + River call Themselves?

Hi continues to be in the middle of Drama. He was dating all the Printer Sisters but Daisy, and I thought I'd given him an anti-jealousy potion, but apparently not. He was mad at Dot for dating Andy while a townie was angry at him and Dot for dating each other, which caused a plague that got all over town and was a pain in the butt to clean out and caused a number of people to suddenly have Family secondaries so their households could have comfort soup.

In the first picture he's come by to kick the trash can when Dot comes home fired from the record store. She stopped him to apologize and he didn't immediately forgive her, but came in to hang out and allow her to persuade him.

In the second picture, JoAnn and her girlfriend, keyboardist Lily Pond, have gotten a record deal (aka a promotion, but job titles are merely a mechanical convenience) for the Sisters, and celebrate. Right in front of him. Because why wouldn't they assume he'd be into that? Turns out, he's not. (He's going to have to resolve one relationship maturely and keep it resolved for an entire rotation before I feed him a potion, now. Character arcs must be respected and given time to accomplish!)

Andy, you may recall, bonded with Dot over Daisy's twins, and he couldn't stand being on the outs with Hi, so he invited them both to a party. Where they made up. So now he's mad at both of them! I wouldn't worry about it, though. Once Andy likes you, he won't hold a grudge. He probably should find himself a different girlfriend, though.

Grandma's going to be so happy with me, Virginia thinks. Her mom's alive! And going to have her baby. She isn't sure how anything could go wrong here, no matter what Death has to say about it.

-JoAnn was onlyone to roll the want to do the term paper, what is good as this is the “get to know your family what you should of known all of your life”-round.

- cause now she can skip the lessons and invite her family.

-Helen really?? if you are looking for seating, several unoccupied! If for computer , there is one right next to one JoAnn is using....

At the end of the day, I decided to move everyone out and split up the household, because it’s just got too chaotic, and it’s not fun to play anymore. They’re all living really near each other, though - the Gutenbergs and the Knowes are on either side of the new trailer park where the Matrixes are making their home.

VeronaHills, Interlude: Printer Sisters (Uni)

Indie grunge blues has never sounded so good. Daisy, Dot and JoAnn want to sign their names on the pages of music history, but will living in the wop-wops halt the progress of their doo-wops?

VeronaHills, Round Twenty Three: Printer Sisters (Uni)

JoAnn took pride in knowing the right strings to strum to support the Printer Sisters.

Securing Crumplebuttom House was only the beginning of the success story that would be recounted by many knowledgable fans on Wikipedia one day. Instead of being laughed out of the dean's office with a wide-eyed proposition of revitalising the arts, JoAnn petitioned to the small group of benefactors who made Land Grant University happen. She followed the money to a ribbon-cutting of the music stage in the quads, stuck her hand up when the MC jokingly asked for any volunteers to 'have a shred' on the donated guitar, and played Stairway to Heaven. It was Frank Worthington's favourite song, which JoAnn already knew from an internet stalk that revealed a Spotify profile an assistant had forgotten to make private, but she feigned surprise when he approached her and shook her hand.

The Printer Sisters signed the rental agreement for Crumplebottom House at no cost per week, provided their studies stayed on track while they worked to put LGU's music scene on the map and attract more talent. JoAnn could see Daisy and Dot start to slip - which they couldn't afford to do, being so close to the finish line of graduating. Luckily, there were other strings to play, like attending a science symposium and getting friendly with the lab students.

Money talked and JoAnn was thankful to know the language. But favours talked too, so the Printer Sisters became guinea pigs for an energising machine of questionable construction. Well, two out of three: Dot was not interested in compromising her hair. Or her brain! Just JoAnn and Daisy then, stepping into a shallow tub of water and putting on a helmet that made them feel more awake, more alive, more creative and clever. They got their homework done, they were prepared for exams, and had a chunk of their future discography written. Daisy used some energy to spend with her 'secret' romance with Prof. Hunter Crusan, too.

Graduation came and went for JoAnn. She opted for a short-term room rental in a cottage in Riverblossom Hills with faerie sibling housemates. Not glamorous, but rustic, in a Pinterest way.

Her music hero's journey was still in early days.
