Jordan sat comfortably in Ellie’s lap, dressed to the nines along with everyone else as Sara navigated the car toward Chloe’s house. He shifted slightly, the warmth radiating from Ellie’s body soaking pleasantly into him as he explored his new tablet, scrolling curiously through the Little app store.
“Oh, you finally got Jordy a tablet?” Stephanie piped up, leaning forward from the back seat to peek.
Sara smiled from the driver’s seat, glancing briefly into the rearview mirror. “Yeah, he deserved it. I wanted my little guy to have all the resources he needs, and maybe keep himself entertained once in a while.”
Ellie smirked, lightly poking Jordan’s side. “So, what’s caught your attention? Some cutting-edge Little technology? Or are you just seeing what kind of baby games they try to push on you?”
Jordan rolled his eyes but smirked. “It’s actually pretty well-rounded. There’s news, social apps, even productivity stuff. Though… yeah, there’s a lot of ‘interactive learning experiences.’” He tapped at the screen. “And some of these games definitely look like they were made for toddlers.”
Stephanie nodded thoughtfully, returning her gaze to Jordan. “Lisa was asking me to pass along her info, but I told her you didn’t have a tablet yet. Here, let me airdrop her contact details.” She tapped her phone lightly, and moments later, Lisa’s details popped up on Jordan’s screen.
Ellie tilted her head curiously. “Lisa? Who’s that again, your mom’s assistant?”
“Yeah,” Stephanie said warmly. “She works closely with my mom at the hospital. Lisa’s technically a ward of the hospital, but my mom’s taken her under her wing. Whenever I visit, we usually hang out together.” Her eyes sparkled playfully. “When Lisa heard I knew Jordan, she got really excited.”
“Oh,” Jordan replied softly, a bit taken aback but pleasantly surprised. He carefully saved Lisa’s details, resolving quietly, “I’ll message her this weekend.”
Ellie petted Jordan affectionately, her teasing voice full of warmth. “Sara, your Little is such a heart-stealer.”
Sara smirked as she kept her eyes on the road. “Of course he is. He’s adorable, smart, and has just the right amount of sass. People can’t help but love him.”
Jordan groaned, shifting in Ellie’s lap as he buried his face in his hands. “Oh great, now I’m a social commodity.”
Ellie chuckled, running a finger down his back in a soothing motion. “Relax, Jordy. It’s not like we’re putting you up for auction.”
Stephanie grinned. “Though, if we did, I bet we’d get some insane bids.”
Sara’s expression darkened playfully. “Nope. Not happening. Jordy’s priceless, and he’s mine. No one else gets to have him.”
Jordan peeked up at her, smirking despite himself. “Well, at least I know my worth.”
Ellie giggled, adjusting her hold on him slightly. “You’re the VIP guest at this party, Jordy. Chloe’s gonna want to see you all dressed up. And you know the moment she does, she’s going to absolutely dote on you.”
Jordan sighed dramatically. “Fantastic. Just what I needed. More giant people fussing over me.”
Sara reached over at a stoplight, briefly stroking Jordan’s head. “Don’t be too grumpy about it. You know you secretly like the attention.”
Jordan crossed his arms, though his blush betrayed him. “Debatable.”
Ellie grinned as the car rolled forward again. “Oh, we’ll see about that.”

Uh-oh, more forces working against jelli.
Introducing (officially) jilsa!

NO !! You will not put this into the universe god damn it
Great chapter glad to see Lisa again AS A FRIEND!!!!! Does everyone understand this friends god damn it

A disturbance in the force is detected.
I am with Vader, I am a Kelli backer lol
Thank you!!!!
THE ONLY DISTURBANCE IS ME TRYING NOT USE THE FORCE AGAINST INNOCENT LISA !!!!!
0) Their dresses look so cool. I’m not one for fashion, but a girl in a pretty dress is always nice to see.
1) “Oh, you finally got Jordy a tablet?” no, she had it from day one and withheld it from him until yesterday.
2.1) “So, what’s caught your attention? Some cutting-edge Little technology?” It is surprising how advanced the tech is
2.2) “Or are you just seeing what kind of baby games they try to push on you?” not surprising that the games would be babyish.
3) “It’s actually pretty well-rounded. There’s news, social apps, even productivity stuff” Dude hasn’t figured out that they’re censored yet, has he?
4) “there’s a lot of ‘interactive learning experiences’. And some of these games definitely look like they were made for toddlers.” They are designed for small borns.
5) “Lisa was asking me to pass along her info” The Jelli supporters are not gonna like this, lol
6) “Lisa’s technically a ward of the hospital, but my mom’s taken her under her wing. Whenever I visit, we usually hang out together.” Setting up for Dr. Wilson becoming Lisa’s guardian and Steph getting trained.
7.1) “He’s adorable, smart, and has just the right amount of sass. People can’t help but love him.” Jordan’s only just started acting sassy with them, and Sara’s made it a point to make fun of his intelligence before.
7.2) “Oh great, now I’m a social commodity.” Yeah, you Hand-Held-Heartbreaker.
8) “Chloe’s gonna want to see you all dressed up. And you know the moment she does, she’s going to absolutely dote on you.” Chloe’s been nice, but I wouldn’t say she’s doted on him, her nicest moment was more for Sara than Jordan.
9) “Fantastic. Just what I needed. More giant people fussing over me.” – “Don’t be too grumpy about it. You know you secretly like the attention.” That depends who’s attention he’s getting, Maisy and Dayton were terrible, Mal was bad but not as bad, Ellie and Sara have been mixed bags, and Chloe and Kayla have been mostly nice to him.
5) I think everyone is in agreement that Jalisa (jolsa maybe?) is the the real ship
5) Probably “Jolsa” or even “Lisdan”.
“Jalisa” sounds like Jordan X Talisa
Lisadan works for me.
the lisdan name sounds the best of the lisa varients in myopinion
0) this is the event of their in their live so they pull out all the stops. Also I did not realize that prom was just an American thing. you mentioned the other day you had only seen it on American tv. I thought everyone did it just under different names. *mindblown* I would have used a different descriptor had I known it wasn’t a normal thing internationally.
Also be on the look out for episode 551. It has some generitech/gracewood lore building along with companies.
1) If its a gift its not uncommon to buy something and give it someone later. However you are right in that she did buy it and not give it to him immediately.
2) Well generitech is trying advance things across the board.
2.2) It does make sense the games would be geared towards the younger as they would be handy for smallborn development.
3) Well they still exist though.Little news is still news. But also he has’t fully explored them yet. He is just looking through the options.
4) Yup they were. Some are designed for infected as well
5) i mean one in particular especially. But it was teased even when they first met.
6) yup. got to set up what has happened so its a cohesive world.
7) Those are all valid points but Sara also likes bragging Jordan up a bit. Kind of like a proud parent.
7.2) that’s fair
8) I guess she hasn’t really full on doted. Shes just treated him as an equal. Which i guess could be doting from Sara’s perspective.
9) well yah not all attention is good attention. Being its a party I doubt his interaction with most people will be short and surface level.
0) Apparently these happen annually for them
Yeah, we have dances in Australia, and one called Formal” at the end of grade 12 (12th grade) but they just aren’t anything like what I’ve seen in American Proms. (I realise they might be levelled up for TV though and real proms could be lesser than that)
I will remember that, should be 0n Monday 7th of April (Tuesday 8th of April for me)
1) With Sara’s past its hard for me to trust.
2.1) Nice, I hope they can set things up where Littles can contribute as equals.
2.2) Also adult littles are frequently infantilised so baby games being offered to them makes sense.
3) Bias news, but technically news none the less.
4) to reinforce their new place in society no doubt.
5) This ship predates Jelli, that is a fact.
7.1) She does, showing him off when not making him feel less than.
8) True, I remember how its common for a parent to be accused of spoiling a child just for having a different parenting style.
0) for the most part its accurate like people do go out and buy fancy clothes just for the event. Where TV kind of blows it up is on how decorated the high schools get. Thats a bit over the top.
1) that’s fair trust is earned as they say. Jordan also didn’t ask for one though either. Its not like she had one and denied him one.
2) Littles do work at generitech and live in the little cities. Others work and live in the little cities.
2.2) that’s an accurate depiction.
3) I wouldn’t call it biased. As whats reported is accurate. They just dont cover all the same news stories as the regular people news. The little news is actually broadcast from the little cities. So it covers more little events and stuff from the little cities. It covers some stories from the biggle world. Sports coverage is 100% equal..
4) Its more to prepare them and teach the skills they need.
5) it sure does.
7.1) yeah
8) I remember hearing stuff like that
0) Fair.
1) True, but he was denied his own phone.
2.1) Are the cities populated now? I thought that was a future point.
3) I thought it was mentioned that littles have restricted access to the information. And I was expecting it to be politically bias too.
4) Same diff
They aren’t all fully populated at this point in the smallara timeline as the outbreak has just occurred. By the time Dayton goes through her junior guardian story arc they are fully operational.
Littles do have restricted access to information but its more information is just ommitted/not covered. What is reported to them is unbiased.
As the little news is more supposed to be about little news events and things they would consider news. Biggle news would be mostly not important or a consideration to most littles especially as time goes on.
one a very far aside, how do you manage scaling? I have measure metrics, a measuring asset, and make a cube that is 6′ tall, but worry i’m not being accurate enough lol
Oh you go through way more effor thten i do. I look at the scaling of each model as each model is set to a height when you purchase it by the creator. So unless you are making custom assets the model is normally in a appropriate height range. So I then just scale the model down.
Jordan for instance is 4.9% of his model’s base height. So every scene I just know to put Jordan at 4.9% and he is the same height in every scene. So he is consistently the same size. Sometimes camera’s angles and positioning can make a character look bigger and smaller but I just have the percentages down for the littles I’m working with. Gavin is 5.3%. When I’m doing new littles I use Jordan as my base since Jordan is typically smaller then most littles I know to increase it by a percentage amount.
I don’t have a overly complex system.
Oh lmao yeah I have a habit of over complicating things. That sounds way simpler
