The Watcher Watches

411 The Watcher Watches: Angel House ~~ Bjorn ~~


Basti sleeps in, he got home so late. Some of the others have already awakened.
Cute little Hank heads to take a submarine adventure and Myra is getting a book to read. She wishes to learn Handiness.

? Myra has made herself at home, on Bjorn's bed, reading while Bjorn dreams of cooking.
She likes him, having spent hours talking and laughing with him yesterday, they are very good friends.
His LTW is to learn all the recipes, and Myra's is to become The Tinkerer.

Bjorn starts having a romantic dream about moon lit nights, he gets a wish to watch the stars as he wakes...

"Wait a second, is somebody reading on my bed?" Bjorn has the coward trait so sometimes gets alarmed!
"Oh cool beans, it's Myra!" he smiles when he realizes, then gets super happy about it!

"Hey Myra, want to group up and go see the Arboretum today?" They both have the wish.
"Sure, that place has Faries and flowers inside! It can be very romantic, I've heard tell."
"Wow!" thinks Bjorn.

Bjorn likes her, she is not only cute, she's smart and funny, too, as he learned yesterday. Very good company!

They change into their everyday wear and head out, Bjorn already thinking the nice hand holding thought.
"Wait a minute" says Katey, ''I need someone to explain Ghosts to me!"
"Ah, maybe ask Basti or Bonnie, they might know a bit about ghosts because they want to be ghostbusters when they age up." says Myra. She has already looked up her housemates to see what they have said about themselves on FriendFace, their school's friend platform.
Unfortunately both teens came with this obnoxious career LTW already in place.?
https://i.imgur.com/sJLKbdd.jpg









Bonnie comes in to talk with Basti, he puts away his book. ''I need to talk to you about you kissing Mary Pendragon last night, Basti."
"Does Everyone have to know about what I did?" Basti gets up, thinking, "Is Bonnie mad at me?" a million thoughts start running through his head, from trouble to attraction, "Wait! does Bonnie Like me? Is that why she seems mad?"
https://i.imgur.com/j4JpIvU.jpg
https://i.imgur.com/b3u6HUm.jpg
https://i.imgur.com/7pB0JKb.jpg





"What could it be? She said she wants to talk about the kissing ... Wait a sec, does Bonnie want me to kiss Her, maybe? Did word get out that maybe I'm a good kisser?!" Basti gets his hopes up! ? As he found out last night, he certainly does enjoy kissing, very much!
https://i.imgur.com/5wKsjAm.jpg
https://i.imgur.com/YHQNVVi.jpg





Basti rushes around the bed to look at her face. ''Oh-no, it does Not look like a happy face that wants my kiss!" he thinks.
"Basti, first of all you're lucky that rumors about you kissing someone's girlfriend didn't get out, further than our two households! That is the Good news. The Bad news, for you, is that there is gossip that Joe and Mary were seen flirting together this morning, so they are probably back together!" Bonnie says.
https://i.imgur.com/q9nZpxq.jpg
https://i.imgur.com/MOPZC1c.jpg
https://i.imgur.com/u50SYHF.jpg





"Sorry to be the bringer of bad news, but I thought you would want to know." says Bonnie, "In case you liked her."
Basti does like her, but already knew last night he should not try to see her again, because of the Bro Code. Still, it's not like a happy thing to hear, first thing in the morning.
https://i.imgur.com/zrpbNO7.jpg





"Well, thanks for letting me know, Bonnie, you're nice to try to prevent me from making an even bigger fool of myself!"
Bonnie hugs him.
"Nobody thinks that, Basti, you're a nice guy."
And they get the pink hearts.

https://i.imgur.com/b3lhEvb.jpg

Bonnie quickly heads downstairs to eat some leftovers, while Basti stands there blushing again, then heads to paint, his heart a bit lighter.

Arriving at the Arboretum, Bjorn tells Myra they can go buy some firecrackers today, if she wants to, after checking out the flowers and fairies.
"That sounds fun!" says Myra.
They head inside the magical place.
https://i.imgur.com/dGSnLT3.jpg
https://i.imgur.com/Xxx7vqp.jpg
https://i.imgur.com/IBAGxgB.jpg
https://i.imgur.com/lwyIw5Y.jpg






Inside the place is wonderful, like a garden of Eden! They walk hand in hand along the path inside, enjoying all the flowers and sweetly scented blooms.
Myra points out the fairies at play. They watch as the tiny fairy's, in fairy form, fly around and come close together,
"Look, I think they might be kissing!" say Myra.
Bjorn thinks that is a hint from Myra, and kisses her pretty lips.
She doesn't push him away, in fact she quite likes to kiss him, and kisses him back.
They come out of the arboretum, now on a Date!
https://i.imgur.com/rBybZV8.jpg







"That was amazing in there Myra!''
''What would you like to do now?" asks Bjorn, all hyped up. He hopes she says they should kiss more, but doesn't say so.
Myra gives him a look, Bjorn likes how she looks at him.
https://i.imgur.com/YeI8nC0.jpg
https://i.imgur.com/1O521wJ.jpg
https://i.imgur.com/8nk833i.jpg








He does his flirty pose. I keep forgetting he's flirty! I really like that he's not obnoxious about it!
"Let's go on the water slide!" says Myra, and twirls into her swim suit.
"Wow!" thinks Bjorn, and thinks he might love her in that pink bikini.
https://i.imgur.com/0ylmPM6.jpg
https://i.imgur.com/5GrQi8f.jpg
https://i.imgur.com/EZzlcY1.jpg
https://i.imgur.com/l0BfqUf.jpg





They have such a fun time on the water slide! Myra is clapping thinking about Bjorn. I took the pic too close to capture her thought bubble.
? Bjorn's thoughts crack me up! I adore how the coward trait resurfaces from time to time.
It looks like he is attracted, but scared of his strong attraction to Myra.
https://i.imgur.com/0Usg3L5.jpg

Myra plays with the other water toys, splashing in the sprinkler. Then stops when she notices Bjorn wants to tell her something about cooking.

https://i.imgur.com/xHuCGz4.jpg
https://i.imgur.com/YXdd89B.jpg
https://i.imgur.com/XecwkhC.jpg






But Bjorn changes his mind and talks about airplanes, in a flirty way.
https://i.imgur.com/XKCiFaj.jpg
https://i.imgur.com/w5u1frj.jpg
https://i.imgur.com/9dzJqTS.jpg







"You mean like that airplane over there? It's cool, I should paint it!" says Myra.
"huh?"
*splat*
"Oh, It's On!"
https://i.imgur.com/ooHTOne.jpg
https://i.imgur.com/u4QTamN.jpg
https://i.imgur.com/T8Ggt6e.jpg
https://i.imgur.com/s6kYhnf.jpg







They walk to a clearing to have a water balloon fight. Bjorn get a sad thought that maybe Myra might not like him as much as he likes her.
*splat* she hits him again! That stops his thought immediately! They think it's so funny and fun! Bjorn gets soaked! Myra is either lucky or much better at this game, but finally Bjorn gets in a good one. They laugh together, enjoying each other's company.

Later in the day, Bjorn sits with Myra while she has a snow cone. He's rather pensive.
He shares a secret.
It a long long secret sharing, which looks like he is telling a deep heart-felt secret. But the pop-up merely says
"I feel like you're my best friend."
Myra is touched, she really likes that.

And looks at Bjorn in a tender way.
https://i.imgur.com/r17ZLO6.jpg

@Sprottenham Good to hear you are resting and taking in fluids! Yeah just rest and take in water, soups and what ever you can handle. my friend, before she moved to another continent would bring me her chicken soup and she swore it Cured everything! It's a chicken broth that has the most pretty clear yellow color and is divine! Then she told me hers is the Best because she makes it like her GrandMother made it in the olden days, with Chicken Feet to make the stock! :# Ack! hahaha, but even knowing that I would be grateful for another bowl of it today, it's that delicious! chicken broth is the old wives tale of curing illness, and I think old wives tales are based on truth ;) It at least make you feel better!


Ah Simies! I think from teen on to older, when the person starts lots of friendly talking to another, that Can start it the gender preference, and definitely which ever gender flirts with them first, is a big deciding factor. For example, All that talking between Lekeke and Basti on the first day altered Lekeke to go from 0 to 1 in favor of males. I had an inkling that would happen. But Basti stayed 0 undecided until Mary embraced him. He kissed her of his own accord. But Basti in the past talked a lot to females at parties (girls are attracted to him and his brother Bjorn), where Lekeke has mostly only ever talked with males at parties. Interesting!
I agree with you on the little kids, I have also seen a bond already start, But I too, always let my sims decide for themselves.



Oh I adore David Attenborough since he was a young man doing his documentaries! Hahaha I think the bonobos are not only not monogamous but they seem to love peace and community more than other species! It's interesting how they use woo to solve conflicts too! It's super funny how comparing them to chimps, the bonobos with just go for it like it's no big deal, but the chimps will look all around, hoping to not get caught when they want someone already spoken for! :D


ah, romance! I think they just really love each other, and think they found their person, that, and their traits: hopeless romantic & flirty, and their environment that has woo objects everywhere, they especially love the lounge bed on community lots. Also I 'train' them in that I don't direct them Or interrupt them, sets the pace for the entire town to realize/learn that romance is what's it's all about. It's really hard to not interrupt them, it gets super boring, like Rico and Diana, now that the witch is gone, sometimes woo all dang day and only stop, it seems, to take care of the baby or to eat or go to the bathroom! LOL that's why I combine households, so someone else will interrupt them to pillow fight or chat!

I was so surprised to see Bastian had left the house! I was only gone to Leif's for half hour! I wonder why Him, and not the other teens? and I wonder about the whole thing, him getting himself in a situation of getting embraced and all that. Did He/they Plan it? Did the Game? Did Basti want to be away from Lekeke to choose his own gender pref? ?‍♀️??? It reminds me of when I first got either Alfie or Max I can't remember which one, I took him to the festival to see if he would fall for someone. He was gay in Alexa's world but when I got him he was gender pref neutral. Anyway as soon as he got there, He looked at the kissing booth and Victor was the male kissing booth guy, a homeless person we didn't know yet, and Victor took one look, left his post, and RAN to his car and drove away fast! ? Now why did he Do that? LOL I always think it's because Victor didn't want even the remote chance to become gay. I know it sounds crazy but that's what I think.??

Yes Basti loooves kissing Mary! But Joe has the advantage that he lives with Mary! So Joe might win.

Yes Mary couldn't look at either boy!? LOL and Hanae was awesome, I never saw a parent do that before!

Yes baby Iliya likes Basti the best, they have a strong bond already. I was so glad Basti went to cover him, I guess there is a pull to cover babies that the napping mat has.

I'm glad you liked the episode! I want to focus on each orphan to see what they are all about. And Preacher too, I think he is so interesting. :)

@DivaDoodle Oh, the symptoms have been a bit varied.. the first day was the worst, second day was a little better and third day (yesterday) I got very tired and mostly just wanted to sleep... hopefully today will be better.. thanks for your hugs and advice, especially the remembering to drink fluids probably helped me some, because I could easily forget to drink, but since I read your post yesterday (sorry I was to tired to respond) I did remember to drink water! :P

Well, it is fascinating, so they do decided their gender preference when they are teenagers? But it is interesting sometimes how I think I can see that they bond closely to one sim (of the opposite gender) when they are children already, and I think.."Hmm..?", but try to leave it in the open, wait and see, because I want them to decide for themselves..

Haha, oh, yeah, the animal world (as well as the human and sim world of course..) is very fascinating. ;) You mentioning of all this makes me think of David Attenborough... and bonobos! :P

409 The Watcher Watches: Leif & Rico's House ~~ Baby Erik Arrives! ~~

Well, it's good that everything is peaceful on the western front, atleast....

Oh, the parallells, but waking up to a new life being born isn't the worst of all things!
Yes, Shanti is a very cute sim!

Your sims are always so romantic, how do you do it? ;)

410 The Watcher Watches: Angel House ~~ Bastian ~~

Hehe, of course the teenager would run away to see the girl that he likes. ;)

But oh no.. Hanae does not approve?

Oh, oops, Joe also likes Mary... and Hanae is now angry with Mary, but.. Mary is only a teenager.. she still needs to learn.. but probably should also be told what is appropriate and not.. :P

Oh, well good that Bastian and Joe could sort it out.. :P

Hehe, Mary doesn't look at either of the boys when she leaves the bathroom, your sims are pretty funny. ;)

Bastian is the one cover up Iliya, good boy. ;)

Mm, sweet dreams. ;)

I enjoyed the last update, it was funny because they actually created a bit of drama, but it also got resolved, atleast partially. Of course, both Bastian and Joe will still be interested in Mary, so I will be curious to see how they are going to deal with that? :P

410 The Watcher Watches: Angel House ~~ Bastian ~~


Straight from Leif's house, I go to right back to check on Angel House. Everyone is asleep.
House Mother, Preacher sleeps peacefully, knowing that all his charges are safe in his excellent care.
https://i.imgur.com/Kl50dH6.jpg





oops Nope! My mistake, a teen is missing! Basti has escaped!
Basti, what are you doing over here at Youngman's house, so late at night with your teen mood swings?
Oh, figures, talking to Youngman's pretty daughter, Mary.?
https://i.imgur.com/6aeOfWY.jpg
https://i.imgur.com/QwvhPIi.jpg
https://i.imgur.com/APU9Vxb.jpg





Uh-Oh! Mary and Basti feel an attraction! But, I thought she and Joe...?
Mary can't help herself and grabs him up in a hug, and of course Basti lets her, because he thinks this is crazy good!
https://i.imgur.com/Dy3vim6.jpg
https://i.imgur.com/SbPC8N7.jpg






"Basti, you're so cute!"
"You're so cute, Mary!"
https://i.imgur.com/2CjBf8T.jpg






Basti gets swept up in good feelings, Much better feelings than those hideous mood swing feelings he has in his moodlets!
He goes ahead and kisses Mary!
No one seems to mind, and Mary likes his kiss.
Basti is in 7th heaven! He discovers he definitely likes kissing, in fact, it is on the very top of his list of Likes!?
They get carried away with the sweetness of it!

Basti likes the way Mary looks at him. That is #2 on his list of Likes.
https://i.imgur.com/ZF3Nm5V.jpg








Watcher is just watching and taking pics, I guess this is all Okay, I guess Mary and Joe broke up?
Suddenly, now the game says Basti is no longer friends with Hanae!
Hanae, Mary's step-Mother, Joe and Youngman all look upset! Wow delayed reaction!??
https://i.imgur.com/TLM5Mma.jpg
https://i.imgur.com/21yCAHT.jpg






Basti doesn't know what to do, he felt the upset feelings from the others. He watches Mary for a clue of how to act.
It's a bit scary, the parents walking closer, and Joe giving him the fish eye. Yikes!
"What's going on?" thinks Basti.
https://i.imgur.com/L4A8Vo0.jpg






Basti still watches Mary, she acts like everything is Normal. She waves, smiling at her Dad and Hanae, ..
He wonders. "So, Is everything ok?"
https://i.imgur.com/jWfDVvA.jpg





Then Joe is telling him he is misbehaving! While looking at Mary in anguish! Oh dear, he likes Joe.
''What have I done?" Basti thinks. "Wait, Are they together? What's going on?"
https://i.imgur.com/kCQ4iN3.jpg
https://i.imgur.com/o8KawfM.jpg





Mary's parents don't know what to think about their daughter's behavior, they don't especially like it that good ol Joe is getting his heart hurt.
https://i.imgur.com/4u2Qhq9.jpg






Basti, his cheeks on fire with embarrassment, feels his tummy getting filled with remorse and dread.
He feels worse when Hanae shakes her finger at him.
Joe looks on, thinking Basti should be thrown in the dungeon!
Good thing Youngman doesn't own a dungeon!
https://i.imgur.com/lgbMuiV.jpg
https://i.imgur.com/DLA3TG6.jpg
https://i.imgur.com/iwkdncg.jpg






Poor Joe can't believe Mary allowed the kiss, or initiated the embrace with Basti in the first place. "I guess I should have been paying her more attention..."
Everyone is mad in the living room.
https://i.imgur.com/Fd1fGw3.jpg
https://i.imgur.com/Iy5J0gV.jpg






Hanae stomps upstairs (if little dainty fairy feet could stomp!) to express her disappointment to Mary! Mary is hiding in the bathroom, scared about what her feelings led her to do, well, more so the outcome of getting so swept up! ~~acting without thinking! Oh dear!
"Mary! I'm disappointed in your behavior! Don't leave Joe or Basti on the hook! Make a choice of one, or the other, or neither one! What you've done isn't nice or ladylike at all!"
https://i.imgur.com/tEc36Nj.jpg






Joe watches Mary get in trouble, Basti has come up to apologize to his classmate.
"I'm sorry Joe, I didn't know you two were an item. I hope you can forgive me."
"Yeah, It' ok, Mary and I were not acting like we were together, so how could you know. I guess I need to be more attentive if I want to keep a girlfriend." says Joe.
Basti is glad that Joe isn't so mad at him anymore.

Mary can now escape the bathroom to do her homework. She doesn't look at either boy, too embarrassed.
https://i.imgur.com/MFRcHDr.jpg








Basti heads home and Joe heads to bed. That is his and Mary's bed Joe's thinking about. Maybe he will work things out with her?
Basti still has his hideous teen mood swings: excited, disappointed, happy, sad, sleepy, --oh it is just terrible!
Seeing the cute baby Iliya makes him feel a bit better, what a cutie pie! He covers him up,
https://i.imgur.com/TvJntOO.jpg
https://i.imgur.com/XAfb1eJ.jpg
https://i.imgur.com/BfjK6Je.jpg





and heads to bed, now smiling wide, remembering his first kiss ever. "Wow!"
Tonight he has a good dream about kissing pretty Mary.
... His dream does Not include about the bad parts, that would be a nightmare to relive that!

@Silverofdreams30

Thank you! I'm glad you like it! :)

@DivaDoodle

Once I merged my cc packages, sims started to be more
romantic automatically and I love it!.
Great recent updates as always.

409 The Watcher Watches: Leif & Rico's House ~~ Baby Erik Arrives! ~~


(Just a short one, I have a bunch of shows that left me with the dreaded Cliffhangers, now become available! ? I know I'm hopeless! hahaha)






All is quiet on the Western Front, I mean in Leif & Rico's house, where the loving couples sleep peacefully.
Shanti stirs in the still of night.
https://i.imgur.com/lrEoYNz.jpg
https://i.imgur.com/vGPrsnk.jpg






She holds her big belly as her labor begins. Leif gets up, still dreaming his sweet baby dream.
The reality hasn't fully wakened him yet.
https://i.imgur.com/vxvxHwV.jpg

Shanti alternately making groans and then sounds of happiness. She is such a cute sim!

Leif immediately wants to kiss her! "My wife is so amazing! How does she do that?"
All he can do is watch in awe, as Shanti cuddles and looks at their sweet precious son.

@Sprottenham Oh my, I sure hope you don't feel too ill. I hope your symptoms are on the mild side, like Covid Omicron has been for many people over here. Take go0d care of yourself, lots of the fluids, just rest and relax. sending virtual {{hugs}} while holding my virtual breath! ;) I didn't notice any slowness, or you saying anything weird! On paper you are A-OK!


Yes Preacher had the Blessings of the Fae thrown on him by Alfred. Some Fairies protested but Alfie said loudly for all to hear, to let it stand, let the boy decide, because he knew that was a good learning point for his young apprentice.
So Preacher grew bumble bee wings, and experienced all that the other Fae experienced and was truly happy, felt compassion for the first time ever and felt like he was One with Nature.

Anya was furious, thinking such a low consciousness being, such as Preacher was/or had been, did Not deserve the greatest gift of all, the Blessing of the Fae! And she cleverly snuck in and threw a potion on him to take that Blessing away. So Preacher became a normal human once again, but the experience did rather change him for the better anyway.


Yes that was so surprising for me to see Preacher and Alfred bonding like that! I had to make that a part of the story, for sure!


haha I think in Faelie's mind the Angel House should have a womans touch and would be run by a kindly House Mother! Preacher wanted a different title, like HeadMaster, but I think he is getting used to being referred to as Houe Mother, having heard it so often now.


Octavio was on the property when I switched Angel House back to a residence, and he was moved by the game to the side walk, standing next to Dante, with the others. The others went home, and I guess Octavio walked back on the property, unbeknownst to me, until Preacher stood up! LOL I think he must have wanted to be in the story or actually want to live there! So I went along with the backstory of he and Miriam wanting to be the ''parentals'' here and scam the funds for themselves!



''Haha, Preacher makes sure to set the teenagers straight.. no inappropriate woohoo on the premises I suppose."" well not in the first minutes of their day there, at least!!!!?
I stopped that right away! Because I didn't want Bonnie to be 'flirty' anymore and so 'woo assertive' right off the bat! Because that will decide the gender preference for all the other boys who have not decided their gender preference yet! LOL (I learned that from Anya at the firehouse!) So I took away her flirty trait, and she ended up playing computer, while disappointed Bjorn was made to cook dinner. aw poor guy!

Even though the kids haven't decided on gender preference, I have seen over time their thought to want to try woo. Bjorn seems to be interested in girls, his twin Bastian has shown interest in both girls and boys, and Lekeke has shown interest in boys. I'm talking about just who they go to talk with and think 'woo stuff' about. Myra is interested in boys, and Bonnie is the only kid who has her gender preference set to boys, because of her previous relationship with Beau Lothario.

The whole thing fascinates me, Why we choose who we do, and not just Sims, a most unique species! I watch tons other documentaries of other species like the special intricate dances to lure a mate in tropical birds, and also interesting is choosing a life long monogamous mate in Barn owls, Macaws, Cranes, Eagles, Swans, penguin, Seahorses, Foxes, Wolves, Beavers, Titi Monkeys Coyotes, Oldfield Mice, I think there is even a kind of slimy looking salamander thing, that mates with one partner for life.


Yes I thought that as well! Poor baby Iliya was not tucked in! ? I better give Preacher the family oriented trait if I see it happen again! ;)

@DivaDoodle Oh, the Cherish you're describing does sound a bit weird for sure. :P Hmm, and eventually not very nice... oh, fascinating that a sim can actually have so much personality, in a way!

Aha, ok, well that's interesting about 'enveloped', maybe somewhere in the back of my mind I may have heard it used like that before, but I am not sure? It's definately not something I see often, though. :P

Heh, also, I just tested myself and got a positive result for covid yesterday, so here I am sitting drinking hot cocoa and reading on the sims forum when I otherwise would have been at work. <_< >_> Oh well... (this may also explain it if I say something weird today or seem a little slow.. I'm not super illl, but I do feel a little "slow". :P )

407 The Watcher Watches: Leif & Rico's House ~~ Waiting for Baby. part 2. ~~

Haha, fairies lack body hair. Well, maybe they do. Hmm, most sims are actually pretty lacking in body hair, come to think of it. :P

But if Etheral likes the hairy type than Laz is probably right for her. :P Aww, he looks a little shy.. :P

Oh Leif is being a playful one, it looks funny. ;) I like Shantis outfit, it looks interesting.

Oh yes, I think I remember that.. the Preacher got a taste of what it was like to be a fairy? Ah, it is nice to see father and son bonding like that. ;)

Ah, Faelie announces that the Preacher will be the house mother of the Angel house..that is nice, but shouldn't that be house father, in his case? :P (I'm just asking.. :P )

"I wonder if it ever causes a problem, because I heard that Fairies are the Vampires favorite snack, right? So, How does that even work?" <-- Oh, scary.. yeah, Leif better not stand there to watch them like that, that's Branch's thing to do! :P

Hey, that's good for Shanti, making three new friends in one day! ;) Well done! ;)


408 The Watcher Watches: Leif & Rico's House ~~ Angel House, Occupied! ~~

Oh, nice to see the inhabitants of the angel house. Ah, yes, I remember the Frankenstein hair girl, but I didn't know she was a homeless. Oh, but she looks nice with the new hairstyle. :P

That boy Iliya Kuryakin looks very cute. :P

Haha, Preacher makes sure to set the teenagers straight.. no inappropriate woohoo on the premises I suppose. :P

HAhaha, did Octavio just show up to ask if he could live there.. so weird! :P

Oh, I see the teenagers are thinking about double beds and getting bright ideas... :P

Oh yes, looks like everyone has nice sleeping arrangements in the angel house, it looks like a nice and fun house. :P Now I just wish someone could have tucked in little Iliya and it would have been perfect! :P

408 The Watcher Watches: Leif & Rico's House ~~ Angel House, Occupied! ~~


Angel House is now opened! Many townsfolk were scooted to the sidewalk for the house to go from a Hang Out back to a residence, and start accepting the Orphans.
To have so many sims here, shows Watcher that a Hang Out is very much wanted in the town!
That is Dante's toddler Dimitri.

This little boy is Hank Gandlion, same sir name as Laz but no relation, yet, I've always wanted to put them together. ;)
https://i.imgur.com/5SpfJOY.jpg






This little girl is Katey Knight. She has found some dirty dishes to wash, probably from the people who had attended the Hang Out earlier.

You all might remember Myra Synpes, she used to have the frankenstein hairdo.

On the left is Bastian with his twin, Bjorn Jorgensen on the right. In the middle is Bonnie Doone, who was Beau Lothario's first fling.

Not seen so often is island boy, Lekeke Mahani. and the newest homeless that the game just made, is baby Iliya Kuryakin. He is obviously a genius since he can feed himself! I renamed him after my favorite Russian Spy from the good ol days TV show, called the Man from U.N.C.L.E. Iliya's one of the Good Guy Spies! lol cute baby!

Preacher immediately leaves the park to get home to his new charges! He's real happy! This is his happy face! LOL
He is very glad that he no longer has his evil ex-wife and her evil husband as his roommates! He walks as fast as he can inside!

Preacher has to break up an inappropriate wooing between Lorna and Bjorn! He doesn't want any teen pregnancies happening on his first day as House Mother!
Note: These teens simply didn't register yet, Lorna's new traits.
Preacher sends Lorna upstairs for a time out, and makes Bjorn cook a family meal, so that they can simmer down, now!
Meanwhile Bastian and Myra see this, and try to cool their jets too, and they try to get used to their new home and situation, and raging teen hormones!
They are all inexperienced except for Bonnie.
https://i.imgur.com/wsX6qXz.jpg





Hank plays with baby Iliya, and gets to know the little guy.

Bjorn had a worry at the open house, that the House Mother was going to be too strict! Oh well, that's the way the cookie crumbles! He does as he was told and cooks and burns the mac and cheese.
"I hope the burnt up meal will be ok for everyone to eat, I've never cooked before in my life!" he thinks, as he serves dinner.

The kids become closer friends during the meal. There are lots of joyful thoughts and chatter.

Preacher suddenly stands up. "What!!! What the Heck is HE doing here?!" He goes to investigate!

"Can I live here too? and Miriam too?" asks Octavio.
"NO! Now shoo Away! Go on! This is My orphanage!" says Preacher.

Octavio runs to the front yard. Stops. Then thinks he will go back and say something to Preacher! This is not going according to his evil plan!
https://i.imgur.com/7toyflW.jpg
https://i.imgur.com/F5HztB6.jpg






"Listen Preacher, you're a smart guy, think how we all could benefit running this house together, and sharing in the Big Profits, with Miriam and my thrify Plan of running this place!" says the smooth schmoozer.
"Oh. Thanks! But NO Thanks! I'm a Good House Mother, and I don't want the evil likes of you two here at all!" Bye Now!" and Preacher smiles to see the evil man go.
"Grr, foiled again!" thinks Octavio.

Preacher watches until the evil man is off the proprty! He feels protective of these kids!
https://i.imgur.com/2iw2ztR.jpg







Inside there are raging hormones going on, again! These teens have been to parties before and have seen the niceness of getting close with other classmates and want to try that out too. Only Lekeke is wise enough to finally figure out, you have to be at a certain level of friendship for that to be able to happen.
No one has a gender preference set yet. (except Bonnie because of Beau)
So Lekeke chats up his classmate Bastian, while Bjorn just frets along with Myra. ? LOL

Suddenly the doorbell rings and startles everyone. I have Myra answer it and invite in Danny. Danny is good friends with all these kids already. His kids have had many class parties.
Danny steps in and is flooded with the feeling of 'teen hormones gone wild' and decides it will be more comfortable to play on the water slide! LOL

"Hey that's weird that Mr. Lothario just ran out to the backyard!" thinks Bjorn and Myra.
"Now what was I thinking about before...? I think it was rather important..." Bjorn suddenly remembers.?
https://i.imgur.com/sTNYU12.jpg
https://i.imgur.com/k0pX3kn.jpg
https://i.imgur.com/ZI5SJGX.jpg





Finally Bjorn gets an inkling that it might be a good idea to become better friends with Myra, rather than fretting about beds all day.
He starts talking to her. Aw that is nice to compliment her genius! He finds out she is super interesting and likes to laugh.

I see Preacher playing tag outside with Katey, and getting Sleepy.

Time for him to make the sleeping assignments. Bonnie has been happily playing computer for hours here, so this is her room. She and Myra are close friends, so they can be room mates.

Lekeke is upstairs of the girls.

Iliya has his napping mat. He gets the cozy moodlet from the nice fire in the hearth.
https://i.imgur.com/p74OJF7.jpg





Preacher and the kiddos Katey and Hank are on the same floor.

And the twins, Bastian and Bjorn are on their own level, next to the arts and music room, that they are interested in (or have the traits for, I should say!) A very nice and cozy Angel House!
Sweet Dreams!
