This gift is for Simmer Mystik, Mystik you commented in your letter that you like your sims to have a certain amount of skills. It got me thinking in an opposite direction, like why a sim might reach a certain age with limited skills. I hope you enjoy this take away from the ideas your letter spawned, and hope you don't mind that the house meandered away from the small log cabin it was supposed to be. ~ Mmdrgntobldrgn Brigh Corcoran hadn't planned on a family or anything beyond becoming a master alchemist. One particular summer, late in her life, as she was traveling, she found herself in love. While normally a witch might take on a mate, things did not work out that way for Brigh. Before she and her lover could formalize their union with the witches guild he vanished. There were plenty of rumors about why he vanished, but rumors never brought anyone back. When Brigh learned that she was expecting she weighed her options, as well as sought the council of a trusted friend withing the guild leadership circle. In the end it was decided that she would leave Moonlit Falls so that she could keep her daughter and avoid the gossip that was sure to follow her as a single mother if she stayed. She was able to purchase a plot of land on the outskirts of Hidden springs that already had an older cottage on it. While it wasn't the cabin she had planned on getting she found that it suited her needs far better, and suspected that someone else of power had owned the home before her. When her daughter was born she named her Siofra, and together they became regulars at the library. When Siofra graduated from high school she announced that she wanted to be a mystic healer. She also was determined that the best way for her to learn how to heal people besides with magic was to get a job at the hospital and learn mundane medical practices too. One day a scientist named Trefor Howell came in with strange symptoms. When he admitted to drinking a strange compound on a dare, Siofra just shook her head. When all the normal tests came back normal, she had him turn his back and ran a magical test. Whatever he had consumed had turned him into a witch. She instructed him to meet her at the park near her home. As she helped him adjust to life as a witch, Trefor fell in love love with Siofra. Eventually they married, and he moved in with her and her mom Brigh. A few years after the wedding they had a delightful son who they named Tyrone. They quickly discovered that Tyrone was clumsy and absent minded. While they did their best to keep an eye on him at all times, the occasional accident happened. One day as Brigh was going back and forth between the area where she studied alchemy, and made potions for town folks who wanted one, and the greenhouse she didn't realize that Tyrone had followed her into the study. She was walking back into the greenhouse when she heard a splash and a toddlers cry of shock. Brigh dashed back and rescued Tyrone from the cauldron, but the experimental brew she'd been working on had already affected him. Not only had Tyrone's skin and hair been altered, but all of his witches magic had vanished. Brigh swore she would find a way to cure him. Unfortunately she'd forgotten to write down what was in the cauldron, so they didn't know what had mixed with the sweets and pebbles he always had in his pocket. Siofra and Trefor hoped he would outgrow the change but that was not to be the case, and while he knew he was supposed to stay out of his grandma's space he frequently went there to read. Brigh could frequently be found studying her books, and tending her garden, in hopes for figuring out a cure. She kept a small terrarium available for any bugs that Tyrone brought home. For all that he was absent minded, clumsy, and eccentric he seemed to have a gift for finding bugs and random gems and metals. Which combined with reading was about all he was allowed to do, as he managed to cause more work for others any time he tried to help. Siofra asked her mom, Brigh, if she could watch Tyrone for a short while alone, as she and Trefor had been asked to give key note speeches at a conference in Champs Les Sims and there would be no child care at the conference. Brigh smiled and wished them a safe trip. Siofra called when they reached their room, and let her mom know everything was going well. Two days before they were due home news of a ferry accident broke. Brigh thought nothing of it until an officer showed up at the door, in the late afternoon. As Brigh made arrangements for the remains of Siofra and Trefor to be brought home, she wondered how she would break the news to Tyrone who had gone to the library to study. At first Tyrone had been inconsolable, but eventually Brigh got him to open back up and enjoy life again. She continued to research every venue she could think of to improve her skills. Although curing Tyrone was no longer her main focus, she wanted to bring her daughter and son in law back if she could. It took her a little bit by surprise when Tyrone became a teen, she'd been sneaking a special ingredient for so long that she had forgotten to keep track of time. In the months that followed Brigh became so singly focused on her research that she forgot to nibble on her secret ingredient, and time caught up with her. Tyrone was devastated by the loss of his grandma. As the winter months stretched before him he ran on auto pilot; go to school, water the plants not the floor, pay the bills. As he paid the last of the money that had been in the box in Brigh's study he wondered what was going to become of him. Would he make it on his own? Or would he be sent off to an orphanage somewhere?
