The People of Simbria

Chapter 11.4 - July Summer Holiday - Day 4.

On day four of their stay, Gaute had found the stereo in the hotel room, starting his morning with a little dance to a classical piece, „Summer Moods“ by William von Siimhoven.

Pregnant Leya was still asleep for well into the morning, probably needing all the rest she can get.

Someone must have forgotten to lock the door to the tattoo joint in the basement after closing time, as Queen Bodil had found her way down there to hold a speech to her court.

„I really want to work out“ says Gaute. „Is there a gym in town?“

And I'm thinking.. „Dude, chill.. you're on vacation..“, but fine you will have your wish. There is a gym in town, it is located at the spa, so I'll send you there or you'll probably be nagging about it for the rest of the stay..

Uggh, I hate these athletic types. ;)

Leya had phoned up her siblings, Udisha and Palash, to hear if they could meet up, but they were both at work (apparently not on holiday yet), so that would have to wait.

Then she thought that they could visit Bodil's uncle Bhavan at the fire station as it was located just behind the hotel. Bodil had never been to a fire station before, so that should be exciting for her. Bodil was fast to go, and was already running ahead.

Leya: Hey, * pant pant * wait up!
Probably not that easy to run fast when you're carrying an extra growing body inside of you.

Leya: Bhavan is downstairs in the workout room, let's go there.
Bodil: I'm already on my way, mom..

Leya: Hello, brother, long time no see! It sure rains a lot here in Bewickton!
Bodil was not to interested in this fireman stuff and has noticed there is an easel on the lot and wants to go paint instead.

I don't know what Bodil will be when she grows up, but.. probably not a fire fighter.

Vemund Rokne: Oh, hi, you must be Leya, Bhavans brother, the singer from Sprottenham. I am Vemund, I work here. Nice to meet you.
Leya is flattered, and feels a little famous.

Ali Gates hears that she is a singer and wants to dance with her.
Look at that grin.. But Leya, I wanted you to visit your brother, not do this...

Leya may be a singer, but she is not a dancer... she is a little clumsy, stepping on his feet over and over..

Upstairs Bodil has finished her painting. „I have painted Bewickton, and the plane we came here by“ says Bodil.

Leya tries again to invite Udisha and Palash to the festival lot. They should be finished working by now..

Udisha agrees to meet up, but Palash declines. I suppose that should be expected. Palash has always been a little difficult and different from the other siblings.

„Hi, sis! Let's go to the movies!“ Udisha says immediately.

Leya and Udisha share many of the same interests, and continues to talk about theatre, music and movies.

Bodil is hungry and joins an eating contest. To the left is Kjersti Jordal, she was part of „The Party Household“ mentioned once earlier, but moved out when she had a baby with one of the local celebrities (I forgot his name now).

Gaute is till at the gym working out. Aren't you exhausted yet? Wow, you've got some stamina!

https://i.imgur.com/P2mMaTL.jpg
Bodil is doing good in the contest, out-eating the adults. I think we've got a winner! ;)

https://i.imgur.com/Y84Nh7B.jpg
„Ha! I am the best!“ says Bodil, and punches a hole in the table...

https://i.imgur.com/DzSCyDR.jpg
I'm sure Udisha and Leya could stand here talking like this all night. The sisters are very similar and get along perfectly.

https://i.imgur.com/q3kE8NR.jpg
Bodil: Want to hear a ghost story?
Kjersti: Oh, yes, I would love too.
Kjersti is not only a party animal. She also likes children and works as a teacher at the local school. Don't worry, her work outfit is nothing like what she is currently wearing..

https://i.imgur.com/qVd0ltP.jpg
„I am a winner! I am Queen of the World!“ Bodil thinks before she starts telling her ghost story.

Eivor Mortensen comes over and starts a water balloon fight with Bodil. I have no idea who Eivor Mortensen is. :P

Leya chilling with an ice cream by the fountain. I don't know where Udisha went, she has probably gone home.

https://i.imgur.com/0HUN41A.jpg
Poor Kjersti isn't doing to great. One to many hot dogs from the eating contest, maybe.. Because you know, I can't have an update without a vomiting sim...

https://i.imgur.com/XD54wR4.jpg
Oh, no, there is Udisha. She hadn't gone home yet, just practiced a round of football.

https://i.imgur.com/3LxoL2f.jpg
Gaute just drove past the festival grounds, he is heading back to the hotel for the night.

Shortly thereafter it starts raining, and Leya decides it's time for her and Bodil to go home as well.

Now lets hope this rain will have stopped by tomorrow, because then it's time for the Summer Festival Day in Bewickton! ;)
