Round Eighteen - Park-Crosby

[kayleigh83]

Last Round - Oliver was getting to know his nephew Felix better. The cats always needed care, love and feeding! Sadly Kimchi passed away this round :( Andy became an adult cat. Oliver started picking on Ronald Noble which was entirely my fault - I mistook him for their former employee Tyler who got fired for flirting with Winnie, because they had the same hair. Now they are enemies, whoops!

Who's Who in the Zoo?

Oliver is the oldest child of founder Drew Crosby and his first wife Jane - he has a brother Connor, a sister Melena and his half sister Louise. Winnie is the youngest child of founders Kira and Ryan Park, her older siblings are Simon and Alice. Winnie and Oliver have been together since they were teens and although they've remained childfree, they have seven nieces and nephews (Paolo, Luca, Sloane, Felix, Ronin, Hannah and Miles) and are also devoted cat parents.





Checking in with all the kitties!


 
Hello Ferris!







Everyone is looking handsome and adorable today.



Time to get the chores done.







Chores include giving love to the cats!



Right as Jellybean is aging up to an elder....



Nooo, Pebbles! :(



RIP!





Catching the big game.



Hiroko what are you up to...





She kicked the trash can over right in front of Winnie and stared right at her while she did it - so diabolical!



Working on the toy bench.





Still getting a lot of use out of this hot tub, especially nice on a chilly winter day!





Kitties are napping.



The skunk came by to say hello.



Gabriel dropped in unexpectedly! At first I was confused why because the relationships were low, and then I had an "oh duh!" moment, remembering that he was the exchange student in the Park home when Winnie was a kid!



A passionate discussion of something.



The ROS was pretty minor this round, inheriting some old family heirlooms - so they got this chair, this chest...



And this bust!



They went out for lunch today, to the noodle stand downtown.



I completely forgot yet again about Oliver's enmity with Ronald, the owner of this restaurant. I keep accidentally putting them in situations together, forgetting they're sworn enemies lol.



They enjoyed a nice meal together.



But Oliver couldn't resist one little bit of confrontation before they left.



Next stop was the movie theatre!



However the giant movie screen broke as soon as Winnie sat down...



:|



Luckily they just moved to another theatre screen.





Time for some more cat snuggles!



Today's drop in guest appearance is Oliver's brother Connor!





He's hoping for a meal I see!



Oliver gets to it.





Ghost Pebbles!! Aww she's like "hi dad!"







Some quality time together :)



Winnie proudly training her pet brick.





Did you see that?



The burglar showed up, but the police were hot on their tail.



They managed to sleep through the whole thing somehow!



<3 <3



They invited over some family for a little get together this day.



Poor Alyssa is still growing her hair back after a salon mishap.





Little grand-nephew Nathan was there too!





Synchronized yelling!



These two seemed to have a good time together. Their cat at home, Chowder, is related to all the cats here, so maybe they feel familiar!







Oliver and Hannah's relationship is always so cute to me, favourite uncle status forever!









He didn't sneak into many pics but Jamie was here too!



Clean up duty once the guests leave!





Kitty check in point!



They needed some groceries, so they stopped in to the Park's Market for the first time since they passed along ownership to their nephew Miles!







Next they went for lunch at the Good Egg Diner!



Little Yuki was hovering awkwardly...





So in the midst of their visit, I noticed Chandler here, and townie Adrian. I know Adrian is one of the gay guys in town, and I'd wanted Chandler to meet him and see if maybe anything would spark up, since the poor guy has been really going through it without anyone to start a family with.

I looked at the relationship panels and noticed that Oliver knows both of them - so, I had him influence Chandler to talk to Adrian, just so they'd be on each other's radar a little.

But then things took their own course! They immediately started autonomously flirting with each other like crazy!





Winnie and Oliver caught a bit of that romance in the air I guess!





Ahhhhh! So even though this was not Chandler's turn, I spent most of the rest of this round just watching this unfold for him! By the next time I get round to playing Chandler, he's got a blossoming romance on his hands, finally! I love when stuff like this just unfolds with almost no intervention. All I expected them to do was just talk! Thanks for playing Cupid Oliver!
