When one walks down the dirt paths of Riverblossom these days, one cannot but feel that there are something missing. The Viejo farmhouse was almost like the local community center, where you could always find and join one of your friends who is already on the front porch for a friendly chat, yet now, you are greeted by the whistles of the winter cold when you walk by it. Passing by the Roth's residence, one usually expect to hear Xander and Sandra horsing around as teenagers. Yet there is only the silence of a pair of parents in mourning.

Morty Roth smoothed out the cover of the Zoom-Zoom bed in his son, Xander Roth's rooｍ. Behind him, a golden figure of an unknown and powerful God seemed to be watching over Morty's every movement behind his back. I have seen this statue when Morty first brought it back from the mountains of Latin America at the Desiderata Pearl headquarter, back when he was still a relic liberator. I have heard that when the statue was first unearthed, many local hires at the excavation site scurried away in fear and refused to continue the excavation work. The locals said that the Gods will bring down curses on those who show them disrespect.

Proper Social Services for Orphans

Belladonna Post - Fall 2001 Issue

For the longest time, as far back as anyone can remember, it is impossible for parents whose kids have been taken away by social services to get in touch with their kids. The kids were moved from temporary shelter to another temporary shelter, and their development were greatly stunted. With the donation of Herbert and Faith Goodie and public bonds issued by Sim State, a more permanent home and school was built for such kids. Six orphaned children of the Newson family were the first to move into the foundation. Garrett moved in while he was a toddler, and was adopted by Alison Thompson who was his nanny.

The Goodie Foundation has all the facilities for infant, toddler care, and facilities for children and young teenagers to develop various skills. Kids can call and invite their relatives over if they want. Aside from the Goodies, the Foundation is also staffed with a cafeteria cook and a full-time caretaker, Lily Do. Families interested in adopting children can also visit the foundation so they can get to know the kid ahead of time. The Goodies not only tutor the children on their homeworks, but also act as councilers for young teenagers.
