Ah. Garrick's playing the most involved part of the Sims franchise: Building the gorram house.

Heh-heh.  Like I said, he did spend pretty much the entire afternoon at it.  And just imagine how involving it would be doing it with a full interactive hologram!  :p

What's the C for in your Washuu-tech?

Hmm, I'm thinking 'C' stands for conceptual, yes/no?

Or "crab" -- it is Washuu after all....

....crab-pod....crab-space.... It's Washuu.

Yep, in a nutshell. 
Mental Note for Garrick: tease Washu mercilessly about her crab thing - while she's not as bad as Dr. Clay is, it is quite pervasive in her own work.

Also, AAARGH! "TWEEN" IS NOT AN ACTUAL DEVELOPMENTAL STAGE!
It's just something markers came up with so they could sell
barely-reworked products to a new, younger market segment.

Could have been worse.  Could have used the term 'teeny-bopper' on her.  But anyhow, the name kinda stuck with me for the 10-12 year-old bracket for some reason.  *shruggs*

Kind of laid on the angst a bit heavy with this segment, but then you
did need to explain why the protag isn't perturbed about leaving the
world he knew behind to stay in this one, and naturally it will take
some time even with generally positive interaction with the Tenchi cast
for his mental space to adjust and hopefully get to a better
perspective.

Yeah, it's going to take a while.  The simple fact of the matter is that he is grieving and it is justified - not only for his mother, but also for everyone and everything else he left behind.  In fact, part of the road trip idea is so that he will have a chance to reconnect to part of his past, but then again he's kinda worried he might find an analogue of himself or even his family while out there.  While not necessarily bad, it could be... uncomfortable for him.

I'm afraid most of my own brain is filled with dancing visions of
Macross mecha after spending most of the day poking around looking for
new toy pictures after failing to find a VF-4 3d model for download -
every time I look at my VF-4 sig I want to do a tiger-stripe patterned
one, but I had hoped to find one rather than needing to model it myself -
because seriously, I have dozens of original modeling projects I could
be working on if I'm going to put time into that. I've been trying to
spit out some other thing about this update that's tickling my brain,
but the shinies keep distracting me.

We'll get there eventually, but we'll have quite a ways to go.  The ROB's intention is that Garrick stay in Tenchi-verse for quite some time in order to pick up what It deems to be 'useful skills' before trying to move him on to the next playing field.

Oh, I'm liking this so much, BA. Can't wait to see more.

In that case, Bob, I'll try and keep the updates coming.
