The People of Simbria: Sunset Valley

Back at university again

 Here is the next chapter, where Oliver Freddy and Inge return to university for their 6th semester.. I considered making a new thread for this one, since they are now travellling to a new town which has its own story as well. However after giving it some thought I chose not to because after all this is a continuation of the Sunset Valley story and for this branch we will be following a couple of sims who has their origin in Sunset Valley. Well, that and I don't want to clutter up the forum with to many of my threads. ;)

Chapter 6.1 - January 2024 - The nerd, the loser and thank you for the fish...

This link will take you to a new blog for the university town, which I have called Lake Onebega (see map in first post). The town has its own backstory which has been revealed in previous posts - it is basically a town and an area that once used to belong to the indigenous population of the Simbrian nation, inspired by the story of the Sámi people - the indigineous population of northern Scandinavia and northwestern Russia. The name 'Lake Onebega' is derived from Lake Onega in Russia where the Sámi culture is said to have originated.

Quick Summary:

Inge just barely gets time to set foot on the lot of their dorm before she receives a message from Jefferey Dean about missing a party invitation..

The other students occupying their dorm arrive, and Oliver Freddy quickly walks over to Liz Tarry to have some friendly chat before asking her for a sample of her DNA.. he's going to need it to maybe, hopefully, one day figure out if its possible to create human/plant hybrids.. a pretty insane idea don't you think? :P

Liz is hesitant of his question at first, but once he has taken the sample she is happy that her DNA is now in his hands.. perhaps a little to happy...

Oliver Freddy continues the science-ing to make his first successful clone of a living thing, Ansgar the Anchovy. Even though the clone looks like a goldfish at first, it will probably find its anchovy form a little later..

Inge then spends her time playing games at the Student Union, before getting another party invitation from Jefferey Dean. It's of course a swimsuit party in the middle of winter, because, well, why not.... Inge is excited about the invitation, but in spite of a couple of the guests even removing their swimsuits, Inge is left with the feeling that the party never really takes off and she starts to question if she's just not enjoying it like she used to because she's 'getting old' (even though she's only 21...).

PS: Somebody dies in this chapter, but it's not a very prominent character, and in some way a version of this character may just exist for all eternity anyway.. :P

Note: To keep things in chronological order the updates while they are are at university will alternate between covering what happens in Sunset Valley and what happens at university.
