[Games] Create-A-Family
Round two will be an event round. To figure out what your event will be go to www.random.org/dice and roll the dice. What ever number you get is the event that you'll get. 1. You and your family move. It can be anywhere in the country you are currently in. Your new house can be an improvement from your current one or something smaller.
2. There is some sort of medical emergency. It can be as simple as finding out someone in your family needs eyeglasses to something more serious.
3. There's been a career change to you or someone in your family. It can be anything from loosing a job to getting a better one.
4. There has been some sort of natural disaster. Everyone in your family is okay, but it has some sort of positive effect. For example, an earthquake striking oil or a fire destroying your crops.
5. A member of your extended family has passed away and you've inherited something. It can anything from a rare item to a royal title. Make it something interesting.
6. You've just gotten a pet. It can be anything from a puppy to a lion. Give it a name from your catergory and make sure it suits him or her.

Jael was saddened to learn that her eccentric, childless great-uncle Ethan had passed away. As a child, she'd been enchanted by his tales of aliens and space adventures (he was an asteroid miner) even though she knew he'd been making them up. She used to write him long letters about her own (made-up) space adventures during her summer vacations. A few days after she'd heard that he was gone, a phone call came. The Aaron family had inherited Uncle Ethan's personal spaceship. He had used all his earnings to buy it, but had never had a chance to use it (what with the price of rocket fuel). It seems frivolous to have such a thing with four toddlers to feed and clothe, but it's hard to sell a childhood-dream-come-true. Ethan had named it Chloe, after his wife, who left him after just 6 months of marriage and died the next year. Of spontaneous combustion, as far as could be determined. Who the heck dies of spontaneous combustion? Who names a spaceship after someone who did? Lonely bachelors who had gone 3 or 4 decades without a woman in their lives, apparently.For now Chloe's out behind the farmhouse. All 30 feet and 8 tons of her. It may be an odd lawn ornament for a farming family getting back to the land... but Pete knows Jael isn't ready to part with it. And deep down they both know that someday, she'll fly.And hopefully not spontaneously combust.DH: Peter Silas Aaron Jr. [12/11/2047] "Pete" (21)

Caelia, Sextilius, and their twin boys, who are now three and romping happily, are moving. Caelia had to quit her job when the twins were born. Sextilius ended up quitting his job, and they are now moving out of Rome to the outskirts. Sextilius has friends who are prosperous farmers. He decided to move his family in with one of them for a year to see how his friends get along, and then set up his own farm. He hopes it will all work out, especially with the little twins romping about and turning into trouble makers.

One of Nick's grandmother's died. Her husband had died years ago though he was very rich. Upon the death we found that she had left us her home to raise our sextuplets in. It is an hour away from were we live now and since the children aren't in school it won't be too difficult for them. We can still see our families and drive in for work everyday but we have enough room for our large family.

LN: Petrov
DH: Timur Miloslav (23)
DW: Zoya Nadezhda (22)
DD/DS: Milena Vladislava and Anatoliy Bronislav (1)Over the winter, Milena caught a cold. Zoya started to worry when it hadn't gotten better after two weeks. She took Milena to the doctor and got some medicine, but it didn't help much. One night, Zoya and Timur awakened to the sound of Anatoliy crying hysterically. When they went to check on him, Milena wasn't breathing. They took her to the nearest hospital, and all the jostling around seemed to restart her breathing. Once at the hospital, the doctors diagnosed Milena with pneumonia. She was in the hospital for a week and a half before she was stable enough to be released. Timur and Zoya are very glad that their daughter is still alive, and also glad that Anatoliy knew something bad was happening, even before they did.
