Adams, Bernard - and some McGovern

Back to the regular alphabetical rotation. I'll update each family as I play them.

There's nothing much happening at the Adams household. Everyone is secure in their careers, and working on their lifetime goals.



Lori has her own police car now.

The Bernard family are doing well. Since we saw them last, Gina Bernard has become engaged to Raphael McGovern. She had his son long before he agreed to become engaged, though. (He actually turned her down twice!)
They live with their son, Pascal Bernard, and Raphael's mother Stacia.

They also live with a lot of animals, because Gina wants to be an Ark Builder.



Raphael has a bit of a problem with his boots - but I'm not sure he appreciates Sheba's input...


Stacia recently switched careers again. She's been in politcs, and in sports, and now she's going to be a journalist. Her current boyfriend is Francois Lambert, but she switches boyfriends even more often than she changes careers...

Raphael wants to be an actor (I assume a character actor, with his looks) so he applied at the studio, and much to his surprise he got hired, too. (In spite of the weird boots...)

Gina tries very hard to balance her need to stuff her house with animals with the demands of parenting...






Since his parents aren't married, Pascal's last name is Bernard, so the name will continue. I think Yves is secretly glad of this, even though he doesn't approve of his granddaughter's other life choices... It's probably better for Pascal, too, since the McGoverns don't have a good reputation. And with good

Yves and Harmony Bernard moved in with their son Julien and his wife Ginny when both girls had left home. Harmony loves her siblings, but she would prefer not to live with them at the Retirement Home if she can help it.

Yves continues to work on his LTW of becoming a Master of the Arts. He bought himself a new guitar and an easel. He and Harmony are both enjoying their retirement in their own different ways - he's rocking the guitar, she's rocking the chair...




Ginny is still working in Education:



She's now the District Superintendent, but since the district is really small, that still means she puts in a lot of hours telling kids to use their brains.



Julien, in the meantime, got to the top level of his career and is now a Hit Movie Composer. Something that Victor Adams did before him, so he doesn't get any kind of credit for it... Still, he does manage to get his music skill and his charisma up to top level, though.

In the meantime I found out that the Ark Builder LTW is probably broken. Gina does have two horses, two cats, two dogs, two of each minor pet, two bugs and two butterflies, but the wish doesn't fulfill. 
I even had Stacia move out with the pets they had, so she could make a fresh start, but she's still not getting the credit for it.
From what I've read on the official forum it appears to have been broken in a patch.

Since she did fill the requirements, I'm going to call it a 'pass'. Unless and until I read something that can convince me I made a mistake...

So this time around, they add another accomplished LTW to the list:

Julien Bernard: Golden Tongue, Golden Fingers.

The Arc Builder goes into the list of "impossible" LTWs.
