Rival Cowfolks in Newcrest: Week 1 (Soma, Part I)
Sunday
Yukio: Where have you been, Watchette? It’s 4 a.m.!
Daniela lost 8 hours of her first Sunday, so I took 4 hours out of your day.
Go ahead and go overtime a little at the end of the week yourself!
Yukio: The first thing I do is call a club gathering and Yuki comes over right away.
Oh, see? Yuki likes the lavender penguin TV!
Yukio: Only because there’s nothing else to do here. *rolls eyes
Yukio: I want to take Yuki out to a Convivial venue, but I’m making a birthday cake to take with me!
Thankfully, I have enough money left to buy a stove, but just barely!
Yeah, good thing we didn’t buy you wall and floor coverings last week! *rolls eyes
Well, hurry and put that cake in your personal inventory, Yukio!
Yukio: Got it! Let’s head out, Yuki!
Yuki: I’m really familiar with this coffee shop, Yukio. It’s not far from my place, plus the Avant Gardes meet here.
Yukio: Hey, why did you change seats? Is it because you’re a loner?
Yuki: Nah, I can see you better from over here…
Barista: Can you believe the nerve of some people? Look at that adult hitting on that poor high-school girl!
Blonde with back turned: I dunno, it looks like a friendly hug to me…
Blonde: Hey, I just came over to introduce myself and chat!
Yuki: Would you please do something about her, Yuki? I’m not good around strangers.
Yukio: Let’s cloudgaze, Yuki! No one can join our conversation uninvited if we cloudgaze.
Darn, I wish their names weren’t so similar. Totally my bad!(sighs)
Yuki: I’m so glad we’re friends now!
You’re almost good friends, Yukio, which means you’ll be able to cake Yuki up to a young adult soon!
Maybe you two could go sit at a table now so you can light the…
Noooooooooooo!
Yukio: Huh?
Yukio: Oh c’mon, Watchette! It’s way cooler to celebrate Yuki’s birthday at Chez Llama!
Yuki: After much consideration, I’m inclined to agree!
Yukio: Oh, the guy Watchette’s been wanting me to meet is a chef here at Chez Llama!
Excuse me, Yuki, while I go pay him a compliment so he’ll become my acquaintance.
Yukio: That weird blond lady is sitting at a nearby table with the gardener (red hat).
Do you think she might be stalking us?
Yukio: Darn it, why can’t I order your birthday cake, Yuki?
Yuki: I think it’s the round lamp on our table. Ask your watcher to move it!
Nina Caliente: Here’s your strawberry cake!
Yuki: I do a birthday leap and age up into a young adult.
Except for Yukio, I’m celebrating my birthday in a room full of strangers for the first time in my life.
Yukio: After Yuki cakes up, we immediately return to my place and I ask her to move in.
Yuki: I have my sister, Candy, move in, too.
Candy: Why am I at this lot again and why is my younger sister a young adult now?
That look on Candy’s face!
Candy: So you’re Yukio Soma, founder of the restaurant line?
Why have you chosen my sister when you could have had me?
Yukio: Don’t play innocent with me! The first founder was too lazy to age up Yuki and got married to you instead, but you later cheated on him with Liberty Lee…
Candy: Hello again, Watchette. What’s my role in this household this time around? Painting? Writing?
Your task, Candy, will be to do penance for your past transgressions.
Yukio: Two dates at the Stargazer Lounge in San Myshuno, followed by a proposal.
Yuki: You know, we should just elope! I’m not a fan of parties, since I’m a loner…
Yukio: After eloping, we return home because we both want to try for a baby.
Before that, though, I manage to guilt Watchette into building that billboard for wfgodt. Thanks again!
FYI: The character on the billboard is Godot, who appears in the visual novel-based video game series called “Ace Attorney.” hehe
Yuki: I’m sincerely glad that the Sims 4 developers believe in gender parity!
But I’d rather not have been the first male sim to be kicked in the face mid-woohoo.
Yuki: *shares the big news
Yukio: *doesn’t look that excited
Yuki’s gained this little first-trimester baby bump immediately after taking a pregnancy test.
Yuki: After two home dates, Yukio and I really need a break.
We head for Desert Bloom Park with sister Candy and that cook, Bradley Storey.
My outgoing sister is tasked with befriending Bradley and she wastes no time!
Yuki: Thanks to Yuki and all the dig sites at the park, I earn enough points to buy Connections and join the Culinary career.
My first work shift starts at 6 pm, Monday.
Yukio: It’s my pleasure to introduce our new household member, Bradley Storey.
He’d been living with three roommates so didn’t bring any funds or furnishings with him.
But he’s a good-lucking guy and he already has Level 6 Cooking, Level 3 Gardening, and Level 3 Logic.
Yuki: Oh cool! He’ll be able to graft plants in no time!
