Last Round - Travis and Starla moved into a new house together, and purchased the newly available Orange Zone previously owned by Gabriel and Paloma. Starla decided to start sucking up to the evil witch whenever she saw her since she may have a future in that arena. Travis also decided to take up a side hustle pickpocketing the local citizenry. They had to reconnect with friends thanks to ROS, so they planned an outing downtown with a few people.
Who's Who in the Zoo?
Founders Dahlia and Sawyer Harrison had two daughters - their older daughter Angelie married Joanna, and they had two kids, Starla and her younger brother Theo. They have a cousin, Veronica Rossi, through their aunt Marina. They also are associated with Brett Woods (courtesy of Deedee!) as he was a teenage exchange student at their home starting when Starla and Theo were quite young (he's something like a much older brother or cool uncle figure to them). Starla met Travis and they got engaged!
Don't you worry Starla, making you a witch is top of my list this round!
My rules around witches have slowly coalesced over time. Basically what I like to do is decide their alignment based on niceness points; 0-3 is evil, 4-6 is neutral, 7-10 is good. They will have to befriend the head witch matching their alignment (or either one for neutral) but once they have I'll just make them a witch (they don't have to be "turned" by the witch themselves). That's it!
Travis is feeling a little romantic this morning. ROS this round is another ISBI light, so I can't control Travis at all for the first three days.
Accordingly, Starla takes the lead in the kitchen this morning.
They're off to work at the Orange Zone today!
Not a lot of actual "work" involved, as usual!
Starla's mom Joanna came to the business today!
It's a rainy day out, great for being indoors. (looks just like that outside here today too)
Myshuno was added for even more fun and games!
That's not ideal for him, he's going to have to work harder at keeping his bad boy reputation if he doesn't want to lose his self respect.
Starla freestyles for tips out front, and as a way to attract (?) customers.
Her knife skills are still atrocious.
Travis autonomously does the dishes which is much appreciated.
Woohoo time! No chimes...
Autonomous cleaning continues. He's pretty productive for an uncontrollable Sim!
Less helpfully though, he prepared an entire meal even though it was late and no one was particularly hungry.
Their love language is definitely pranking.
Definitely pranking.
They decided to step out for an impromptu date at Crumplebottom Park downtown. Starla might also have had the ulterior motive of trying to spot that evil witch...
Her best friend Simone was there!
No luck finding the witch, so they went on to work for the rest of the day. Travis spent the bulk of it out here.
Myshuno is still a big hit!
Good chips Chandler?
Yay!
A musical interlude on the way into the house.
Do not eat that rotten food Travis!
He prepares yet another unnecessary meal - Starla keeps having to intervene and stash the leftovers, so they'll have a lot of food for a while.
Another outing to keep an eye out for the witch - they headed out to the Cypress Sports Field today!
Rats!
A sudden clap of thunder and a downpouring of rain. That can only mean one thing....
She's here! Starla immediately scurries over to bow and scrape obsequiously.
For a moment it seems like she's a bit skeptical, but it turns out that with the evil witch, flattery will get you everywhere.
She tries bragging to her next, which also delights her.
Pranking her with the joy buzzer is the final piece to the puzzle, and Starla is now eligible to become a witch herself!
Money is a little tight, so Starla digs around to see if anyone has lost any valuables in the park lately.
Back home, more couch activities. Still no chimes though! They've tried for baby as I took birth control off this round, but nothing yet.
Things got shuffled around in the sunroom a bit to make space for her new cauldron.
Her grimoire is upstairs in the bedroom.
Everyone pursuing leisure activities this evening.
She is thriving I'd say!
Travis really likes to take bubble baths, he keeps hopping in even when his hygiene is barely down.
More cooking!
Seems he doesn't care for her new abilities. I can't imagine Starla cares too much how anyone else feels about it though.
Travis is controllable again this morning! Back to sensible cooking portions and meal schedules for this household.
Starla stays home to study the witching ways while Travis heads to work on his own today.
Before he even gets inside...
Updated the interiors a bit with this fun wallpaper.
Travis realized that his customers were the perfect targets for pickpocketing, and a great way to pad the profits at the business.
Mother in law Joanna is a frequent patron.
Moneyyyyy!
Starla watched some movies and worked on her reagents at home.
Travis picked one more pocket on the way home, right out front of their house.
I think he found where he stashed his bone!!!
More romance from these two, but still no chimes yet.
Bath time again.
Checking on her witches brew first thing in the morning.
A game of pass out front!
That's all from these two crazy kids! I do hope they wind up getting pregnant next round. I would like them to have a kid, although according to my usual rules they can have more, I really see them as only child parents so I'd probably stop them at just one in this case. We'll see what happens!
