Round Fourteen - Crosby

[kayleigh83]

Last Round - Louise is the only kid still left at home, so her and Tessa (and Duff!) moved into a smaller house. Tessa thought she was going on a date with Reggie but it was actually a group outing, where he openly flirted with other women. Tessa wasn't bothered so I truly think this is going nowhere. Louise threw a party and had her first kiss with Ewan Menzies!



Jumping right into the ROS for this round, Louise was going through A Phase. For now this meant dyeing her hair pink. She was going to get a piercing too, but I realized I needed to download some CC piercings that work on teenagers. Until then, just the hair dye and some matching eyeshadow!



Tessa gets to work at the Happy Tails Pet Store.



Duff is also keeping himself busy as a greeter.



Isaac has been greeted!



Her manager Chester is one of the salon victims about town.



There's another one!



At home, Mr Skunk is patrolling the perimeter.



Louise wanted to talk to Ewan (her first kiss from last round's party) so she invited him over.






He was unimpressed by her risque jokes though and may have killed whatever spark there was. Oh dear! Teenage love can be fickle.



Getting wintry out there!



Inside, Louise and Tessa are celebrating a birthday!






Here's our elder Tessa!



They invited Connor and his family over to help celebrate.



Cousin Paolo!



And perpetually grouchy Ariella!



Duff is just vibing over here.






Ta daa, Louise now has an eyebrow piercing too!



Tessa thinks it's cool!



Time to go for another day at work while Louise is in school.



Her manager shows up for work too, but wonders why the boss is outside building a snowman.



Her other stepson Oliver came into the store, probably to get something for all their cats!



Andi's back too!






Tessa rolled a want for a date, and just at that moment who should walk in but Ellis. If you don't recall, during someone else's turn last round, Tessa and Ellis were spotted woohooing in a photo booth together!



So I had Tessa approach him with a little light flirtation.



Which was.... not received well.



Poor Tessa! What the hell dude! None of these Crosby ladies are having much luck in the romance department it seems like.



Tessa makes a power move to assert her dominance by using her most aggressive sales tactics to intimidate Ellis, so at least she walks away from the whole interaction feeling like she's won somehow.



Seems like the pet shop business is pretty lucrative!



Duff has certainly put in a hard day's work too as you can see.



Tessa's beat and ready to go home now.



Her and Duff make a short stop at the park on the way home for an espresso.



Louise was still rolling non-romantic wants about Ewan, and snuck out with him this night.






How can you be out with someone until 4 in the morning and your social meter is almost red?? Is this a glitch?



Xander why do you look surprised to see a teenager in your store buying a cell phone? That must be half your revenue by now!



Hello evil sir.






Ewan was walking his dog by their house and had some kind of routing issue, so they walked around the back and right through their house. At this point he's there so much it's almost like he lives here too, so he might as well come and go as he pleases!



Louise wanted to make friends with her cousin Paolo, so she called him.



Mission accomplished!









Tessa is rolling bubble bath wants daily, sometimes multiple times. Must be a cold winter!



Sure looks cold - Louise is cozy inside, gaming!






This morning is the day of Louise's birthday, and she feels like maybe the pink hair and piercing this isn't really her style long term. Back to her usual look!



Tessa is going outside to grab the paper and who else is there but Ellis....? You had your chance, now having second thoughts?






Tessa makes birthday waffles for Louise!



She's happy to see another snowy day!



They've invited over a lot of family again for her birthday, like big sister Melena.



And Paolo of course!






Tickle monster!



Time for cake and the big moment!






Here's our adult Louise!



I had pre-calculated what her secondary aspiration was going to be once she reached adulthood, and it seems like Romance was absolutely correct. Before I'd even assigned it to her, one of her first wants was to have her first woohoo.






Here she is with a bit of a makeover.



And her lifestage collage!



It might still be party time, but for Louise it's bed time!



Meanwhile Paolo is helping himself to a bath.



Mr. Penguin is outside trying to figure out how to join the party too.



Louise got back up and joined in on the slap dance.



Time to look for a place of her own.






Tessa and Duff come out to see her off.



Next round, Louise sets up a home of her own!

I admit I liked Louise with pink hair! It think she looked cool! But she looks cool as an adult too!
Aw poor Tessa and her rotten luck in dating :(

I've got fun plans for Tessa next round at least, she's probably my first totally solo elder now that Louise is moved out!
