The Legend Legacy 1.3: The Breakfast Club

[avaricesims]

 Welcome back to the Legend Legacy! At the end of Chapter 2 we left Gaia, a failed fisherwoman, the girlfriend of handsome but commitment-phobic J Huntington III. He was the first eligible man she met, but will she try to make a serious relationship with an emotionally immature dudebro work, or will she look elsewhere for love?



She seems happy to see J when she first arrives back at the Roomie household. I sent her here to scrounge food, a shower and some TV time - what would happen to her relationships would be up to her.



Gaia has taken a lot of showers at J's place, and I have her try a bath too. I find it interesting that other Sims don't like it when she tries to cook or sleep here, but they're fine with her staying over as long as it's post-coital, and they don't mind her liberal use of their bathroom!



J and Gaia spend most of the day in bed (oo-er - it's a good thing Sim protection seems fail safe or we'd already have loads of legacy babies) and when they get up, Gaia thinks she's FINALLY going to get a hot meal! She's been eating yoghurt and cereal since her life began and she must be tired of it by now.

But...as it turns out, J was only cooking bacon and eggs for himself. Gaia is left to get yet more yoghurt out of the fridge for herself and as you can see, she looks less than thrilled about it.

Gaia: J! Why didn't you make me any breakfast?
J: aw babe, doesn't that make things seem kinda serious to you? I just don't know if our relationship is quite...there...yet.
Gaia: what, at the point where you offer me food when I stay over?
J: exactly!
Gaia: *silent fury*

 

After J heads off to work Gaia could have gone home, but I left her to her own devices for a while out of curiosity, and she watched TV for ages before doing...this.

Gaia! That's J's roommate and bro!



Gaia continued to flirt with Gavin and after a little consideration I rolled with it. Gavin is pretty cute too, and while he definitely has the bro trait...maybe he doesn't have the non-committal trait. Gaia is too busy playing tonsil-hockey to find out.
Gaia, are you sure it's wise to start a relationship with your boyfriend's roommate while you're pissed off at him?

Gaia: hey, so, Gavin, will you come on a date with me?
Gavin, who is clearly besotted and hasn't even considered what J is going to think of all this: of course!

This could be interesting.





Gavin promptly kicks J's ass in the feeding Gaia department, anyway.





Gaia and Gavin have their date in the park, Gaia's favourite place to be. He's incredibly sweet and romantic about it, and she discovers he has the Creative trait. There's still one mystery trait to go, and if it's non-committal I'm going to scream. They also earn a gold medal for this date, making it much better than her first date with J.

Hmmm. 



They head back to Gavin's after a successful date for which they earn a gold medal, although my reward never appears in the inventory, boo. Things start getting hot and heavy pretty fast and before long Gaia is jumping into bed with Gavin. Incidentally, into the same bed she frequently jumped into with J. Apparently the roomies don't have assigned bedrooms, which is very weird and uncomfortable, but at least they don't have an audience this time.



When J comes home from work he seems to think it's a good sign that Gaia is already in her underwear. Oh boy.

But his delight turns to dejection when Gaia tells him she just wants to be friends.

Gaia: sorry J, but I'm a legacy founder and you don't want a serious relationship. I have to get married and have babies, and I know you don't really want that.
J: true, but...
Gaia: oh btw I'm dating your roommate Gavin now. Hope it won't be weird!
Mitchell: shoulda left the room...definitely shoulda left the room.



Gavin further cements his place in Gaia's heart by giving her the bacon and eggs she missed out on when J was too much of a giant man baby to risk cooking for her!


 

And finally Gaia checks with Zoe that the new dating arrangements aren't going to be a problem, but Zoe is totally unperturbed. She has only 'acquaintance' level relationships with both boys, but by now she's good friends with Gaia, so she supports her change in relationship despite potential household awkwardness. What a good friend!

And that brings us to the end of Chapter 3. Gaia dumped J for Gavin - the handsome jock for the nerdy writer. As a potential husband he's definitely the more sensible choice, but Gaia has proven herself an incorrigible flirt. Will she settle on Gavin once and for all?

Find out in Chapter 4!
