Rivals 3.27: Aaradhya Articulates

Rival Cowfolks in Newcrest: Week 3 (Dinero, Part IV)

 
Saturday

Hail Earthlings! My name is Aaradhya Kumar. It is time you got to know me better, yes?
As you already know, I first met Moss and his mother at Desert Bloom Park several days ago.
I’m good and clumsy, love the outdoors, and aspire to be a Painter Extraordinaire.

Thanks to a vampire break-in, I managed to become his good friend, which is why–I suppose–he asks me to move in.
Moss has an unseen fashion consultant/supervisor who gives me a new wardrobe.
So this is the kind of look Moss prefers? I understand why my hair is green, but must I wear these little shorts?
It’s the Murkland influence. *shrugs

I like the Bheeda family very much! Such hard workers!
The teenager, Krishna, also gets a makeover. His mother, for some reason, is especially pleased with his new look.
Jessminder is talented in many creative skills. I hope to follow in her footsteps!

Now, they are fishing for angelfish.

Apparently, vampire break-ins pose a threat even to residential lots.
Frankly, I’m quite surprised how friendly Moss seems to be with the next Zanna heir!

Tonight, Arun aka Mr. Versatility adds “Crafting garlic objects” to his ever-increasing list of accomplishments.

And, by the way, you may not know this but ethnic diversity also exists on Sixam. My name, Aaradhya, is a Hindi name.
So I’m more than pleased to be living with the Bheedas in a vegetarian household!
More on that later.

After ensuring that the rest of the household is occupied, Moss begins flirting with me.
I’d secretly been hoping he’d be romantically interested in me.
But no one could have prepared me for how fast he moves. First date, first kiss!

Although I’m a full alien, I’ve long hoped for a hybrid child! Why?
That’s because as much as I love this human disguise, I dislike my alien appearance.
I don’t know, maybe I’ve just watched too much simTV.

But a hybrid child with this irresistibly handsome green devil?
Our child could have an alien skintone but with sim-like features. I can only dream!

And don’t tell anyone, but I don’t feel attracted to fellow aliens.

Hmmm, I’m sensing a creepy stalker nearby. Who could that be?

And this is why we lock doors to avoid mid-date interruptions.
No, Daichi! They don’t need to be welcomed to the club!

I should feel guilty about making use of Moss to conceive. But honestly?
Doesn’t he need an heir in order to continue his bloodline?

And what’s his deal with that teen vampire who kept glancing at him at the restaurant?

When I learn that I’m pregnant, I run over to Moss and share the big news.
How heart-warming and reassuring that he seems just as thrilled!

I’m confident that our child will grow up feeling cherished and respected.
And vegetarian!

Now that it’s daylight, here’s a better look at the post-makeover Krishna.

Earlier, Jessminder mentioned something about not needing cc stubble.
I think he’s a most dashing teenager!
His father Arun’s been bragging that Krishna is a geeky genius.

I think Krishna gets his large eyes from his mother and his droopy eyebrows from his father.

Jessminder prepared Ambrosia for the first time in her life this morning.
While living with the founder, Arun had grafted a deathflower plant which he went back to harvest this morning.

Initially, I’d believed that Ambrosia granted eternal life, but Jessminder informs me that it only resets a sim’s current life stage.
I wonder who the Ambrosia’s for?

Daniela is ecstatic to hear that Moss and I will have a child and invites us all over.
I benefit from the quality easels by asking her to mentor me.

The founder’s lot has a downstairs laboratory which was especially built for Arun.

He clones some Ambrosia and repairs a cloning machine.
But he runs out of time to invent another cloning machine for our house.

On the other hand, our resident geeky genius has discovered woodworking.

Do what you love or love what you  do, I always say!

While Moss and I are flirting, our relationship hits its first bump.
He discovers that I’m already lovebirds with the Granite Falls forest ranger.

With supreme confidence, Moss proposes to me anyway and I, of course, accept!
Why would I pass up the chance for our child to carry both the Dinero genes and name?

In my defense, my fling with the forest ranger happened before I’d even met Moss.
And when I first met Moss, he was just a teen! I’ll deal with Nature Boi later.

Do we not make a stunning couple in our green and black?
Oh my, but he’s gorgeous! And to think that I might have settled for the forest ranger! *shudders

The Bheedas are the first guests to arrive. I love seeing them in their formal wear!
Jessminder looks fabulous in her sari-esque gown.

There’s some chick in a black dress and glasses, bending Daniela’s ear about “failed expectations.”
Hey, girl! This is a celebration of our marriage so take your negativity elsewhere!

Well, I don’t actually say that to her since I’m at the wedding arch getting married, lol.
And Daniela is too excited about the wedding and baby to listen to her anyway.

I really have no idea what I should be doing at a wedding, since I’ve never attended a sim wedding.
Moss seems to sense that I’m lost and Moss whispers whatever we’ll be doing next.

Huh, feeding each other! How nice! I could so get used to Moss feeding me.
Oops, did I just say that?

When we’re sure of earning a gold medal, I invite the forest ranger to Center Park so we can have “the talk.”
While I’m waiting for him, I spot Ms. Negativity coming my way as if she wants to chat.

Do I have any choice? I don’t want her there eavesdropping while I talk to the forest ranger!
So I immediately end our wedding party…

As soon as we all get home, I invite the forest ranger over and ask to be just friends.
Well, that was quick and harmless!  Wait, where do you think you’re going, buster?

Moss is big-hearted enough to overlook my previous thing with the forest ranger.
But that doesn’t mean Moss wants Forest Ranger dancing in the living room!
Not sure why Forest Ranger bothers looking so shocked! He actually believed he’d be welcome here on our wedding day, after I just blew him off?

Jessminder gets back from work at midnight, which is the time for The Big Switch.
But we decide to squeeze in a quick trip to Granite Falls.
Krishna is a former Top-Notch Toddler, Whiz Kid, and Rambunctious Scamp.
No wonder he learns to make those camping mascots so quickly!

Our garden is six plants short of complete, so Moss takes the time to harvest some Fireleaf, too.
By lucky coincidence, he also catches a Dust Sprite which is an ingredient for the hermit’s secret recipe: Fungal Infusion Fertilizer.
Hmmm, I’d like to come back again to meet that hermit!

Arun ate a serving of Ambrosia back at the house while Jessminder was still working.
And Jessminder eats her portion at the National Park.

I ask Jessminder why she and Arun are eating Ambrosia on their last day of being young adults.
She shares that it’s part of the deal she made for her family to move in with Moss.
Jessminder is one sharp negotiator!
And then there’s me with no prenuptial agreement, darn it!

When we get back, Moss places one bassinet in the living room.
It’s so we can determine the firstborn, he says, in case of multiple births.

I imagine our nooboo will be born early Monday morning.
For now, I do what I can to ensure that I have a daughter: eating strawberries and listening to Kpop!
#Taehyung4Life

By the way, Arun took me aside before our wedding to say that he knows I’m an alien.
I wonder how he found out? I wonder if Moss knows?
If Moss doesn’t know yet, will our relationship change when he finds out?
So many questions!
Come to think of it, it’s rather handy that Moss has a “thing” for that vampire!
He’ll probably come visit Moss during “Vampire Week,” and we’ll all learn what color our baby is!
