Sunshine
Round 10: College
Charlton and Collette are just beginning their junior year at Suffolk University. Mina has just arrived at the twins' dorm to start her freshman year.
Collette was thrilled to have her old friend Mina joining her on campus. As soon as Mina arrived, the two girls spent quite a bit of time chatting on the lawn before heading inside.Friday, 9 January 2009
Western homes
Round 10: Days 46-50
Elias is thrilled with how well his business is doing. The shop is at Level 3 now and gets a good mix of regular customers and newcomers every day.
Nathalie is happy for her husband but wishes he was home a little bit more. She really has her hands full with Ottilie and Leo.
They're both lovely, sweet kids, really.
But when they start tormenting each other, Nathalie feels like she could go crazy with all the giggling, squealing and screaming.
It's a pretty small apartment and that compounds the problem. The four of them can't even eat dinner at the same table at the same time. They're living on top of each other.
The night Nathalie finds a strange, mohawked man smustling in her daughter's bedroom is the last straw. They've saved up over $100,000, more than enough for their own house. Nathalie doesn't want to stay at the apartment complex for any longer.Notes:
- I didn't realise the Drapers had saved up so much money or that Elias's business was so profitable! I'm going to look around for a nice, affordable, modernish house to put downtown for them and they'll move in next round.
- Elias is also going to hire a manager for his shop. He'll still need to go down there to check everything is running smoothly but at least it won't be so often.
Everywhere
It hasn't even been a day since Emmy moved in with her son Pascal and the poor guy has already had enough her nagging.
Most of the nagging is related to his housekeeping skills. Emmy should really be nagging her sloppy daughters about that - Pascal is actually really neat! The roaches were all he needed to learn to make sure all his trash goes in the bin.
Despite the spotless kitchen, Emmy still insists on doing an inspection every morning after Pascal heads off to work.Pascal just avoids her as much as possible, heading right into the shopping district after the carpool drops him off at home.
He does do some shopping but he's always got an eye on any cute girls who might walk by. He should probably make sure they're into guys before he hits on them though.
H&M isn't really a pick-up joint but he does convince one lovely shopper to join him for a drink at the new bar up the road.
Ashlea and Pascal have a heap of fun together at the Ball & Biscuit.
A whole heap of fun!
He invites Ashlea back to his apartment, hoping against hope that Emmy has left for work by the time they get there.
Luckily, she has so Ashlea and Pascal can get down to business.
When Emmy gets home from work, she begins to wonder if this is perhaps not the right apartment complex for her. People passed out on the floor in the lobby! She never had to deal with this at Twilight.
The next morning, Pascal is able to usher Ashlea out the door before Emmy wakes up.
Unfortunately, Emmy was already awake and heard voices. She's not happy about her son bringing strange women back to his apartment and spending the night with them. Pascal doesn't care.
Emmy probably wouldn't have approved of the girl Pascal invited over after Emmy went to work that evening. He never did get to woohoo with Virginia.
Now was his chance.
Pascal makes sure Virginia leaves well before Emmy gets home. He doesn't want a repeat of this morning's theatrics.
Emmy was getting used to Greg Morena passing out half-naked but that didn't mean she liked it!
The other tenants are beginning to notice the problem too.
Pascal's apartment was definitely not big enough for both him and Emmy. Every time he wanted to use his computer, Emmy was on it.
He ended up spending many evenings at the Ball & Biscuit.
There was something about this bar that seemed to attract the pretty girls, so Pascal usually found a companion for the evening there.
He was always careful to make sure Emmy was sound asleep before he brought the girls inside though.
Pascal couldn't control when his girlfriends would drop by unannounced though. One afternoon, he was surprised by Estelle.
He wasn't quite sure how to explain her presence to Emmy.
Estelle is so wholesome looking though, that she quickly charms Emmy, who (thankfully) goes back inside to get ready for work.
Rather than follow her, Pascal and Estelle made use of the complex's hot tub.
One good thing about living with his mother was when her friends would drop by. They all loved Pascal and frequently set him up on blind dates with different women, which was always went well (surprisingly).
He liked Bethany the masseuse a lot (3 bolts!).
He didn't even notice Emmy watching them behind him.
Assuming his mother had left for work, Pascal and Bethany retired to the bedroom.
But no, Emmy wasn't at work. She was right outside the apartment and in fact, had just died, aged 78. R.I.P. Emmy.
Pascal will finally be able to have an actual private life but he can't pretend he's not sad about losing his mother.Random pic: Whatever happened to Greg Morena?
Yes, he died. I have no idea why but for some reason, he wouldn't go into his apartment, so therefore he wouldn't eat. He died of starvation. A girl has moved into his apartment now though, so that should make Pascal happy. Notes:
- Pascal has a secondary aspiration now. I roll for those too (I'll change that next round) and he rolled Family. So I might start looking for someone for him to settle down with next time.

A place called home
Round 10: Days 46-50
When she returned home from college, Vivienne was eager to find employment in her chosen field of journalism. She couldn't find a single position though and took a bit part in a soap opera instead.Saturday, 27 December 2008
Me and you
Xanthia loves all things scientific but is finding there's not much she can do with her hobby in her tiny little townhouse - definitely no space for a telescope! Instead, she stargazes the lo-fi way - on the ground, in her pyjamas.Friday, 26 December 2008
Wish you well
Lukas and Raffaella have taken in Lukas's younger half-sister, Alexandra, after the recent death of Kristina.
Lukas was happy to invite Alexandra into his home after their mother died but he wished it could have been under happier circumstances. Not only had Alexandra moved in after a tragedy but she was also very sick herself.
