StrangeSpot, Round Twenty Nine: Knowe
Dewey is a teen and he looks so much like his dad, with a dash of goofiness from also being raised by his aunt. Good thing too, because the neighbourhood has officially lost its comic relief with Ida Juana catching the mysterious disease. Dewey's got big shoes to fill - but there's still time for him to be approached in a shady alley and offered a role in a bank heist yet!
Hugh and Sara are too busy being turned into werewolves by their old friend Cliff Notes to despair over the family loss. They continue to busy themselves by sharing the gift with their son, and turning some random passerbys into werewolves as well. Helen Wheels wears her new fur gracefully (like she does most things) but DJ Verse is distraught. She didn't come to Strangetown to become weird!

Knowe/Mander/Thyme, Day 85, Part 7
Yay for Charisma points! It's still a body point he needs to get that promotion to a coaching job, though.
Axel: Look, look!
Gerry: Well done, kiddo.
Helen: Smart like your dad, eh?
Sofie: Hey Feliz! Did you miss me when I was at school?
Sofie: D'you ever want to skip dance and just go out with some friends or something?
Teo: Never! Skip school, however...
I wondered what this was about for a while, but it turns out Gerry dated Candy (who's Scarlett's aunt) back in the day.
Despite Vince's gatecrashing, Ida Juana's party went well.

Woody of course is still a man about town, and starts getting to know the beautiful Bella Goth who lives next door, as well as woohooing with Esther.
Kryptonite has finally accepted that Josephine doesn't want to be with him, and is starting to move on with his life. He has been casually dating Ida Juana and they share a sweet night of passion.
Even Lowell, who is rooming with Orion Curious downstairs is moving on from his lifelong doomed crush on Sugar. He has been smootching Daisy Wheels in the hallways while I'm playing with these guys.

"Two of you? And you're -- um. Nontraditional students? Or were you professors or something before you woke up?"
"No, neither. I was a housewife, for the most part, and he was a sheriff's deputy."
"That's really weird... Anyway, I'm Ida Juana Knowe. And that was Hi Thyme who found you; I bet he didn't remember to introduce himself. He’s kind of an airhead sometimes."
"I'm Beulah Land, and this is my husband Homer."
"It's nice to meet you both, and we're glad to have you here! Okay, so, getting down to business -- you're probably confused, and we all are too. Most of the freshmen don’t remember much after orientation, and neither of us sophomores remembers anything after coming back for the fall, and nobody knows what happened. Oh, if you guys have different memories, Ivan's going to want to talk to you, he's a history major and he's doing a project. We'll set you up with a dorm room -- um, I guess we can put you guys in one of the old rentals? We're not really using them for anything, so we could make an exception. Anyway. Take all the time you need to get settled, and afterwards --”
"Ida Juana, honey, I don't think this speech applies to us. We woke up last summer, and we're just visiting."
"You didn't wake up here? How did you get past those corpse monster things?"
"I'm a little tougher than I look, but it's a long story."
"Oh, you're probably tired if you've been traveling! Sorry, I shouldn't be asking you a million questions right off the bat. We've got a spare room upstairs -- uh, I'll change the sheets first -- and then we can talk later this afternoon when you've had time to rest. I guess you might as well stay here tonight, too, if you’re not going to be here long? We’re happy to have you as long as you want to stay.”
"We appreciate your kindness. But we can't be in town -- on campus -- overnight."
"Why not?"
"This is going to sound crazy, but not too long ago I was attacked out in the backwoods, and now I turn into some kind of beast at sundown."
"You mean you're a werewolf?"
"A werewolf?"
"...You do know what a werewolf is, right?"
"I've never heard the word before."
"Oh, wow, you have such a good deadpan!"
"I'm not joking, honey. I don't know what you're talking about."
"...how...? Like... seriously, how? You know the earth is round, right? Well, whatever. If anybody minds having a werewolf on campus then come talk to me and I'll get Andy to deal with it. I’m not going to put up with that at LGU."
"But I don't want to risk hurting anyone."
"Do you have trouble with your temper or something? Because I thought ol-- uh, people with a lot of life experience usually didn't have much trouble with that even with all the extra hormones."
"I almost attacked a friend the first night I was like this."
"I kind of slept through lycanthropy ed, but I'm pretty sure that's basically normal as long as it was only almost. Don't some people get confused that first time? And if you somehow didn't even know what a werewolf was..."
"...Homer, if I'm not dangerous, we can go home! We can see the kids again!"
"Are you guys leaving already? I'd really like to talk to you some more."
"We'll have to stay until evening regardless; I don't want to try to go back over the bridge like this. And there are some things we want to know about you, too. We've just got young kids that we haven't been able to see in a while, and our hometown needs to know there are other people out here. --Oh, Homer, Dixie always wanted to go to college! Maybe she'd want to come for a visit. Ida Juana, if we could get our daughter here safely...?"
"Yeah, anybody's welcome! We don't have classes or anything, but we have a library full of old paper books, and there's all kinds of practical stuff around campus if you want to learn. Most of it doesn't really work without electricity, but I'm sure my brother's going to figure something out eventually. And most of us do at least pick a major and borrow some textbooks, though some of us do a lot more studying than others.”
"We appreciate you giving her the opportunity. And we'd be very grateful for that room if it's still on offer."
"Oh, sure! We'll take care of you, don't worry. --Hey, Andy! Could the frat lend us some clean sheets?"

"Whoa, this rig isn't half bad! We gotta get your sis some newer games, though."
"So, how do you like your new house?"
"I can't believe it's actually my house. I'm going to throw such great parties there!"
Oh, good, that means they'll be able to afford new clothes for both boys instead of accepting what the randomizer throws at them.
Udo's room - now "the boys' room" - is pretty crowded now, but Green takes it in stride.
"We had to move the dog bed out of my room and move the baby bed in, but never mind! I still love dogs best!"
"So you've got to dig up the nightcrawlers fresh every time. And you can't be squeamish about putting them on the hooks."
"Yeah, I learned the basics in Three Lakes. Hang on - almost got it."
"Look! Look! I got one!"
"You sure did. I bet it'll be mighty tasty, too."
Sometimes Andy is a jerk and sometimes he's all right. Udo figures he can stand to be around him, if it means Ida Juana's around too.

StrangeSpot, Round Twenty Seven: Knowe
Ida Juana hunts for bugs on the property and gets intermittently chased by bees. Still, it's worth it to be on the way to completing her collection! Meanwhile, Sara invites her colleague Hi over to show off how smitten she and Hugh are. Hi is blissfully unaware that his frat brother Andy was eaten by their cowplant... hopefully he never finds their secret yard and connects the dots! That would make work very awkward.
Dewey likes his teddy bear and doesn't mind doing his homework. Other than that, I can't get a good read on him. He didn't bring any friends home from school this round so I hope he's doing okay, lol.
Gunnar Roque walks by, gets talking to Ida Juana, and pulls her aside to offer her a job as a getaway driver. She graciously accepts. She doesn't know what the job entails exactly, but maybe she won't get fired this time!

Knowe/Mander/Thyme, Day 85, Part 6
Ida Juana: Who are you and where did you come from?
Vince: I saw Dré's here and I know her. She's like my step-mum or something.
Ida Juana: Dré? There's someone here who says he knows you!
Dré: What do you want, Vince? You can't just crash a party.
Vince: Looks like I have, so...
Dré: What do you want? You should just go-
Vince: No, wait. You can't just ship me off at your convenience. We're family-
Dré: You made it pretty clear you don't consider me your family after I left the ranch.
Vince: Anyway, I came to tell you to stop poisioning Andrei against me! You've really got him under your thumb, haven't you?
Dré: Andrei's practically an adult, Vince. He makes his own decisions. Have you ever thought that if he doesn't want to spend as much time with you as he used to it's because he's realising for himself what a nasty person you are?
Vince: You shut up!
Dré: Get out, Vince.
Vince: I'll do what I want!
Vince: And you'd better stop turning my brother against me, or you'll be sorry.
Gerry: Get out.
Vince: Who are you?
Gerry: Gerry Mander. I live here. Also I'm the mayor. You've gatecrashed a party and assulted one of our guests. Now get out before I call the police.
Ida Juana decided to throw a party to introduce Dré to some of her friends. She didn't expect Vince to crash the party! (I honestly have no idea where he came from!)

Andy sticks around after being dumped, idk why. Ida Juana does feel bad and rolls the want to apologize and become friends with him. So I guess she wants to be cordial exes? Andy seems to like Lowell and chats him up.
It’s almost Lowell’s adult birthday, and he doesn’t quite know what to do when he ages up. He doesn’t want to go to uni, due to struggling so much in school, but he’s not a career oriented sim either. He just wants to marry Sugar, have babies, be a stay at home dad, and reach max lifetime aspiration. Andy offers him the spare room in his apartment.. since he doesn’t have to use it as a nursery anymore :(
