Here We Go Again! An OWBC!

Chapter Two: Living Like A Family Sim

LAST TIME...

We met Tempest Blue, my latest OWBC founder. And her very awesome mohawk. We also followed her around as she tried to find

someone to love, and she settled on well-known townie Komei Tellerman.

That pretty much covers it, if I'm honest.

Anyway! Onto this chapter!

We rejoin the family just in time to see the results of Komei's money. A nice, and unfinished, house.

It doesn't look quite like this anymore because I moved some of the windows about, but you get the idea.

And a quick view of the ground floor – because there is honestly no point in me showing you the empty upstairs.

See that three by three gap in the foundation? For some reason, I can't build there at all. So I just worked it into the architecture of the house. I'll probably put a statue there later, or something.

Anyway, back to Tempest and Komei. One bolters who act like there's more chemistry than there is.

I'll admit that I don't usually like my couples to only have one bolt, but with Komei and Tempest, I decided I would allow it.

They work together, anyway.

“You didn't get a say in it anyway.”

Very true. Komei and Tempest use and abuse their freewill.

Still, they are adorable with their freewill, and I refuse to take freewill away from sims, no matter what challenge I'm playing.

Though I think freewill on is actually part of the rules for this one.

With the proposal out of the way, a house built, and a wedding party being held the day after, Komei and Tempest had nothing to do.

So they spent their time flirting.

And complaining about their environment.

“I hate it in here!”

Komei started threatening the fish.

“Check out my enthusiasm for fitness!”

The next day, Komei had to work while Tempest had the day off, so her normal routine of flirting and stalking Komei couldn't happen.

She had to change her schedule. So she got to know the neighbourhood stray, Alegra.

And splashed in puddles. Because, you know, it doesn't rain very often in the desert – and Tempest likes to show her appreciation for it.

Komei came home with a smug smile and a promotion.

The money was promptly spent on some walls.

Later that evening, Tempest set fire to her hot dogs. I don't know how she managed it, but there you go.

Yes, we are still cooking on a grill. Ovens are expensive necessities we can do without for now.

“Quickly! Save my dinner!!”

“You're planning to eat these even after they've been on fire and put out with an extinguisher?!”

“Yes! Times are hard!”

Fireman Mitch then leaves, opening a book as he walks out. I think he's pretty awesome. He put out a fire and then goes straight back to his literature!

“Aw man, they're burnt.”

As expected. She ate them anyway, because there was no alternative.

Komei and Tempest's lifestyle has finally caught up with them, it seems. Tempest has been showing signs of pregnancy.

“It can't be morning sickness, I'd have to be pregnant for that!”

“Tempest, you don't think it's even remotely likely that you are pregnant?”

“We're going to be parents? Yay! I bet our children will be awesome.”

“With a father like me, they have no option but to be awesome.”

On the morning before their wedding, Tempest and Komei finally got a bed instead of a tent.

Naturally, they're adorable while they sleep.

When the sun rises, the guests start arriving for the wedding.

“Jihoon! I don't remember inviting you, but welcome!”

Sims with invites include my simself, Mitch the fireman and Ethan.

I was surprised Mitch showed up, he doesn't know Tempest that well.

Joe Carr showed up, too (I've got my eye on you, Joe!) along with Goopy and Andrea Hogan.

I think Goopy and Andrea look like they came as a couple in this pic. It's almost like they're holding hands.

“Tempest, that's not really a wedding dress.”

“Times are hard, Komei. Besides, it sparkles!” Tempest grinned, “Do you honestly care whether or not I'm in a wedding dress?”

“It doesn't bother me.”

“Good,” Tempest held up the ring, “let's get married!”

The guests look uncomfortable with the lack of chairs. Low budget weddings, what can you do?

Tempest and Komei got married without any problems at all.

Komei Tellerman is now Komei Blue. I did think about have Tempest take his name, just because Tempest Tellerman sounded cool, but nevermind.

“Hey, if Tempest threw her bouquet and Andrea caught it, you'd be next, Goopy.”

“Not a chance.”

No one even mention the fact we can't afford bouquets.

The party was a Good Time, and Tubby survived the whole thing, which pleased me.

Joe Carr is still on my hit list, though.

The next day, Tempest begins showing signs of her pregnancy.

“I wonder whether it's a boy or a girl?” Komei said.

“I can't wait to meet them!”

Because Komei and Tempest seem to be acting like family sims lately- you know, getting married, building a house, having kids – I decided that it's time to adopt their first dog.

The dog is named Simon, after my Grandad's dog which passed away this year.

Tempest adores him.

And I do too. Look! Simon is adorable!

Later that day, Tempest became my first ever sim to pass out from heatstroke. Seriously, it's never happened before.

Komei looks like he's having way too much fun dousing Tempest.

Then again, it does look like fun.

“What happened? Is my mohawk okay?”

The chaos continues when one of the flamingos caught fire. Luckily, the rain put it out.

Then came the baby. Life just doesn't stop in the Blue household.

It's a boy! And because I'm not playing Boolprop Name scheme, his name is Jack.

Komei looks so happy to be a father! Not...

Jack got red hair, which is unsurprising as both Komei and Tempest have red hair, and Komei's blue eyes.

“Phew, being a father is hard work.”

I need to make the desert have less summer, I think. It's been too hot this time round.

Despite the fact Komei looked unimpressed at his son's birth, he does look after Jack.

He makes a good father.

Baby days tend to fly by, and pretty soon, it's time for Jack's birthday!

Yay!

Interesting CC choice – Jack opts for a hat. I shall fix that.

Jack is a Pisces with a personality of 7/6/9/3/10 I'm sure we'll be seeing his “Hi, I'm Nice!” smile over the next generation.

And here he is! Looks to me like he's a blend of his parents, but only time will tell. I think that's definitely Komei's jaw, though.

He is adorable. :)

This is where I will leave you, this time! Hopefully this chapter wasn't too dull!

Thanks for reading!
