Oh, you know... I never considered doing it with InSim. I'm not sure why it didn't occur to me. I use InSim all the time (obviously). I may just try that. Too bad toddlers don't seem to interact with each other at all (and how nice that their parents let them walk home alone! *snicker*).

I enjoy that side of Ripp too, and it will be interesting to see how he reacts to teenaged Jill showing interest in him. Of course, everything that you said is true. It would be very hard for Ripp to resist someone who worships the ground he walks on. He'd be transfixed by the idealized reflection of himself in her eyes.

Then there are Jill's plans to marry Ripp. Now that might scare him, just a little bit. We saw what he had to say about that in the last chapter, didn't we?
