Well, it's good that Ripp is your favourite, because we see an awful lot of him, don't we? *grin* I just think that he's a very interesting character, with all of his issues and how he chooses to deal with them, and as the most extroverted and reckless member of the group, he keeps things interesting. His behaviour at dinner was definitely very typical of him. It's also pretty easy to see how someone like Tank would disapprove of an outburst like that.

I'm excited to move forward with Nervous Subject too, but I've had to hold back on that part of the story until I got the Grunts and Johnny, Ripp, and Ophelia to where I needed them to be, plot-wise. There will be more Nervous very soon. I can hardly wait...

Johnny is no saint, though he may be under the mistaken impression that he is one at times. :) Everyone has flaws, and I think that characters without flaws would be very boring. Well, maybe Pascal Curious is the exception, but we'll see...

I'd love to read your story! I do enjoy a good sims story. I don't usually bother with that many caption-based legacies beyond an occassional glance or two, but I enjoy reading story legacies. I'll check it out.
