Rodney Brisbane is dead.
Oh it wasn't right away, but it was only about a day after his expiry date so far shorter time of "waiting for the scythe" like his father Don had. Rodney lasted about as long as his other dad Newton. Well, to be honest, Rodney, like Newton, never worked out and worked incessantly trying to get ahead. In the end, what was it worth? A shorter time alive and no time to retire. He just took a chunk of vacation time towards the end. The family got left with only just over a thousand simoleans too, since Rodney made it a goal of his to complete the furnishings and landscaping of the house.
So since our last chapter, he had enjoyed a couple more promotions and was getting royalties on a few mobile apps as well as one full video game (Sim Mars). Rodney also got to see Colin grow from a child to a teen and his daughter became a young adult, while Wendon was struggling to maintain a B average in high school but was turning out better and better paintings, getting almost double the cost on sales to collectors.
The family learned that Melina died just after Katherine's graduation. Sadly, she had been committed to an institution in her later years so the family only heard word of her death after the asylum buried her in an unmarked grave.
Katherine had gotten acceptance in the astronaut training program but struggled in her early years. Just before her father's passing, she started in a new role at the space center but she was still only pulling home less than 500 simoleans a day. And now she'd the breadwinner of the family with bills to pay. And still no love interest in sight. She doesn't seem to have much time for things like that these days.
Wendon has been seeing someone from the new neighborhood of Newcastle. He's keeping the details on the DL.
Colin. Well, he's still Colin, rambunctious as always. And he's the spittin' image of his father when he was that age...remember?
So long Rodney, you can rest in peace. You left a good family.
Though there are certain questions about the night the grim reaper visited...
Why were you in Katherine's bedroom in the middle of the night?
Where was Katherine? We see Wen and Colin crying over your corpse, but no Kate?
Here's a pic of Kate the next morning. She doesn't look too concerned yet here in the next pic, Wen and Colin are visibly distraught.
Katherine, will you even visit your father's urn enshrined in the new memory pavilion out back?
What traits did you inherit from your mother, Kate?
