Humble Beginnings (Prologue)

     Once upon a time, a recently aged young adult named Angeline Holland, born and raised in the dark, infamous land of Midnight Hollow, had just flown from her parents' nest into the real world. A tiny, grey Victorian home welcomed her with open arms, and Angeline was perfectly happy. 


Hey, loving the Victorian age are in this girl's genes.

     About a few Sim hours week after moving in, she noticed a particularly odd discrepancy: despite living right down the street from the rather large School of Hard Knocks, hardly any children and teenagers had entered said school. At first, she dismissed it as her eyes playing tricks on her; living in such a stark landscape just made the students appear like shadows slinking into the school, but after heavy scrutinizing, she found that only seven students in total were enrolled in the school -- with five of them regularly attending the classes

     This news had left Angeline quite shocked. Why are there so few kids roaming around Midnight Hollow?! It was certainly not like that when she was a kid - there were kids practically bursting out of the classrooms' seams! The last term a Sim could use to describe the area was "crime-ridden", and it's not as if all of her new neighbors were trapped living in extreme poverty!

     Actually, speaking of extreme poverty . . . 



Yeah.

     Safe to say, this woman isn't having any babies any time soon -- but since the rest of the Sim world was so turned off by the idea of living in the Hollow, it's up to Angeline to transfer some young blood into Midnight Hollow. Eventually.
