#violet jocque

I'm still not really here but I did stumble across this request by @simmingfromapyramid the other day and after I put together a quick proof of concept in Milkshape it reminded me of Violet. Those are her original braids (though she's never worn them in my game) and I don't think I ever showed off her room after her stint with the Cosplaying Contrarys playing pirate. Let's just say she took to the life like she thought she was Alexandra Teatherton and she came home with, well, nary a doubloon cuz she cashed in all her winnings for souvenirs.

It's been oh-so-many years so I couldn't resist the opportunity to turn the "need" for preview pics into a photoshoot with Pirate Violet!

So, the ask was about the braids and bandana hair from Castaway and I still have no idea if anyone has ever combined them for the main game before but seemed simple enough.

(Until the bone assignments for the bouncy bangs behaved very stupidly for all but the teens even though I did not change anything. I couldn't take it anymore, had to just assign to head so they'd stop disappearing. And since I adjusted the bandana a bit to more realistically compress the braids rather than floating over the forehead the bangs really don't need to move.)

All ages included. Was going to use Melodie9's toddler version of the braids but they were shorter than I liked to group with the rest.

And while I was at it, since I'm unlikely to use the braids in-story for Violet, I went ahead and made the bandana an accessory for her to have later.

Will definitely clip with most hairs, but figured that if it worked with at least 2 of whatever cc hair was in my test folder for each age and gender I'd post it. (And it even worked ok with some of the entirely different set of cc in my DV setup.)

And I'm only now realising it didn't occur to me to take pics of anyone else, even though the male meshes are included in the accessory, because...why would I?

"Yo ho? Yo-ho-ho!"

Carlos spent his sunday in Katatty's Downtown. He met with friends and enjoyed the beautiful weather. 🌞

Carlos' monday, however, didn't go so well. Cynthia Kim came over to tell Carlos he's going to be a father. News Carlos didn't like, at all.

Dame Sophia Jocque and her husband, Marcel, have enjoyed immense prosperity under the Watcher’s care as of late. The knightess has been steadily rising through the ranks as a squire to the Contrary family and has earned the favor of Lady Opal. Meanwhile, Marcel has chosen to focus on his passion for baking, leaving his position as a cook at the local tavern to establish a bakery in their new home.

The large estate granted to the Jocques has been very helpful, and neither member of the ambitious couple is letting the opportunity go to waste. Violet appears to be following in her mother’s footsteps. One can only hope that no scandal will arise to jeopardize the family’s aspirations.

Lilith meets Dirk and Violet at the Crypt O' Night Club. Violet brings Tiave along, but refuses to join them for dinner.

At least she joins them for the smustle!

Bella Goth ends up dancing with them, which must be pretty iconic if you're a goth teen.

Tiave's brother, Orion, was also there and wasn't being nice to Lilith. She decides to gross him out in return.

Dirk: Is it wise to annoy a vampire's son at a vampire club?

The party went on for hours and Ripp couldn't thank his husband enough for organizing it behind his back. It felt like being in college again and everyone forgot about their adult life problems, even if just for one night.

Only Lilith and Violet ended up throwing hands in the kitchen, putting Rick's "fine china" in danger. It seems like the two couldn't decide who is Rick's bestie and had to resolve it with violence.

Violet might've been sporty growing up, but Lilith had more experience with brawling defeated her way quicker than Violet would like to admit.

Thankfully, despite the incident in the kitchen and John's poor attempt at busting the party, it ended up going well and the Vandermorgans had to pack their friends into taxis in the middle of the night. After making sure everyone departed safely, they could finally enjoy what was left of their night.
