Round Fifteen - Blondeau-Dias
Aug. 27th, 2023 01:47 pm
Last Round - Miso passed away near the start of the round :( Adela invited Cameron Perry over for a date while her parents were at work, and he had his first kiss with her. As a birthday present, Adela got Harry the dog! He took over Miso's old job of starting fights with their other cat Duchess. Adela aged up to adult, and moved out at the end of the round with Harry (leaving Duchess finally in peace).
Who's Who in the Zoo?
Paloma is the oldest child of founder Ines Blondeau and her husband Noah. She has two younger siblings, Estelle and Isaac, and five nieces and nephews (Chandler, Anya, Sabine, Marceline and Clementine). Gabriel joined Brightmaple as a teenage exchange student and lived with the Park family (Kira, Ryan, Simon, Alice and Winnie) and was closest in age to Simon, so they're still best friends to this day. (interestingly Simon dated Paloma when they were teens so there was a bit of a weird love triangle thing happening for a while) Paloma and Gabriel got together pretty well as soon as she aged up to adult, and although they've never married they had one daughter together, Adela Blondeau-Dias. She just became an adult and moved out, so Gabriel and Paloma are empty-nesters now!


Duchess is out chasing fireflies by moonlight!


Now that Adela is moved out, they converted her room to an office and games room!


Time for a friendly game of mahjong!

Retirement time is upon them - time for Gabriel to sell The Orange Zone. We'll see who decides to take it on again soon!


They spent their day pursuing their hobbies.



And having some espresso breaks.

It's finally spring so Gabriel has a lot of planting to do!

They've always wanted to take a trip, so Paloma got on the computer and booked them for Coconut Cove!


Enjoying a little more mahjong.

And making sure Duchess gets a bit of love before they go away.

I had no idea she knows how to use the toilet?? Did I know and forget? Either way.... useful...

The nanny is here for the cat, time to go!

Gabriel's first order of business is to make a sandcastle!

Paloma also tries her hand at it.

The water is warm here!


Soaking up the sun!

This is the bungalow they're renting for the next few days!


Time to tuck in for a nap before going out for dinner.

The Screaming Parrot seems like a fun and lively place to stop by for dinner!


Paloma goes straight for the bar before the host can even find them a table lol.

She finally joined Gabriel at the table.

Lots of activity in this place!

They both got seafood, of course!


Cuties!

Unsavoury Charlatan: Tropical Edition was around too!

Even after all this time! I've been swapping out a lot of traits lately to match them better with the personalities, and you better believe Gabriel got commitment issues!

Today they went to Sandcove Beach Lounge and had another dip in the ocean.


Paloma was very interested in learning how to fire dance!

Hey this isn't so hard!

Whoops, spoke too soon!


It's beautiful here at night too.

That night they stay in at their bungalow for dinner and make some stuffed peppers in the kitchenette.


Next day, Paloma enjoys a massage with the sound of waves lapping the beach in the background.

Gabriel swam around the hull of the old wrecked ship to check it out a little.

They decided to explore inside it too.


Defend yourself!



That was close!



A little dip in the pool this time.

And back at the bungalow, a little relaxation and chat on the porch.


Coco Llama's Beach Bar was their next stop!

The bubble blower was calling to them!

Time for some fruity cocktails!

They were trying to dance and this tourist kid got in the middle and just went ham XD




They had so much fun, but it's time for them to head back home to Brightmaple!

Back home to their kitty, and that's it for their round!
