The Legend Legacy 1.2: Blossoming Romance

[avaricesims]

 

Welcome back to Chapter 2 of the Legend Legacy! Gaia starts her day by dropping in to visit J at home. It took me forever to figure out where he lives because I expected him to be a total Mummy's boy, living at home in his parent's flash mansion, but as it turns out he's living in a nice but relatively modest four bedroom with three same-age roommates.



Gaia is introduced to them: this is Zoe Patel and Gavin Richards. She hits it off with Zoe in particular, who turns out to be a total sweetie.



The other roommate, Mitchell Kalani, turns up just as J and Gaia decide to get all hot and heavy on the couch. I hope, since they're all young singles, this kind of behaviour is pretty frequent and they're used to it!



Gaia helps herself to the Roomie's cereal, just for a change. I tried to have her bake some brownies but she got told off for being inappropriate. Quick meals are okay, anything else apparently is not.



Gaia invests some time in getting to know Zoe and Mitchell. If she wants to snag dudebro J as her boyfriend, it probably pays to get to know his bros. Gavin has disappeared to play video games though.



He and J soon return, though, and J starts making bedroom eyes at Gaia...



And they work! Gaia, it seems, is not going to be a "wait until marriage" kind of girl.



I hope this is actually J's bedroom. They tried the room with the pink bed first and Zoe summarily shooed them away - fair enough too!



Gaia stays the night and is given brownies for breakfast (someone must have finished the batch Gaia tried to start) and, in chatting with J a bit more, learns that he has the non-committal trait. UGH! Of course he does. I knew going for the local rich jock was a bad idea!



Fortunately Zoe remains cheerful and easy to get along with, and Gaia is soon well on the way to becoming friends with her. I wish I'd asked for her sugar skull here, because I haven't seen her in her Day of the Dead get up since this day.



Gaia gives J a kiss goodbye - it's time for her to get back to her garden - and Gavin looks on. Disgusted? Sad? Jealous? He's the only one Gaia didn't really get to know, which is a shame since he has the cute nerd look going on.



Back home, Gaia is surprised by a welcome party of her neighbours who come to check out her weird lawn living situation! This happened on day six of Gaia's gameplay life, so they're a pretty late party, but she does spend a lot of her time away from her lawn so perhaps that's why.



The neighbours are polite enough to pretend they don't mind Gaia's "house" and Mr Kim even sits down on the bed for a chat. Gaia gets absolutely no gardening done, but does eat some fruitcake that gives her a negative moodlet. Gee thanks, neighbours. That night, J calls and initiates a date, and that gives me hope for him despite his non-committal trait.



Gaia gets super dressed up of her own volition even though their date is at the same vaguely dirty bar, lol. 



And then awkward white people dancing happens for ages.



Fortunately with some cute kisses to put that sad dancing effort out of my mind. Gaia also asks J to be her boyfriend and he agrees, yay! Perhaps his non-committal trait isn't a deal breaker.



Gaia goes back to J's place again after the date, helps herself to their cereal because no-one in this house ever cooks things apparently, and finally gets a chance to chat to Gavin who turns out to be Creative...and a bro. Poor girl is never going to get away from them.



J: hey so, sexy time?
Gaia: omg yaaaaas



What???! No! Get out of their room before they do the dirty, you perves! Mitchell never even looks up from his computer screen and Gavin just eats his yoghurt and stares at the wall. Weirdest legacy moment so far, I think.



After that awkward moment Gaia heads back home and into her garden, which by this point she has expanded significantly. She has started selling some produce fairly regularly by now, and I bought a couple more planters. I think four is about all one Sim can manage without the garden becoming really overwhelming, though, despite her having no other job to go to.



Gaia had also levelled up Gardening enough to be able to fertilise her plants so I sent her out to try her hand at fishing. She didn't bother to get dressed first.



Two different spots yielded zero fish, though Gaia doesn't look too worried about it.



At the third spot Gaia is shown up properly by this old lady...

But eventually she does manage to catch a single solitary perch. I'm glad she's happy about it, but this is taking much too long! She'll have to sacrifice some of her produce to fertilise the plants, I think.

And that's it for Chapter 2! Gaia has a boyfriend, but is he really husband material? Hopefully we'll find out soon!
