One Month One World One Year Challenge (Selena Lilly)
So, I started this off in the hopes that I could keep up with it, and immediately couldn't. I've decided to instead do it in this thread, but please check out the main thread with all its wonderful st...
I'm just going to sandwich these together as I never got the chance to post yesterday. It's been really hot, which made me super tired, so I'm just going to do a double post to make up for it.
Day 28
It had taken a couple of weeks, but things were finally in motion for Selena to start leaving. The hype about Mia's imminent arrival kept making her feel nervous, but she'd found that eating lunch in the art room usually calmed her down. Her teacher had been very supportive when she'd expressed that she needed to find somewhere to transfer.
It had been Mrs Fox again who suggested Moonwood Mill, which was an out of the way town with very few people. Apparently, Mrs Fox had a friend there, who she promised to recommend Selena to as an artist.
"Keep building your portfolio in the meantime. Britechester could be a wonderful option for you, Selena, if it's what you want, and you'll need to show them your talents." She'd smiled, and then left Selena to her lunch.
Mrs Fox was, Selena had realised in the past couple of days, her favourite teacher here. But it wasn't like she could change her mind with how things were. She already had a prospective place lined up, anyway. Still, she'd miss Mrs Fox, at least.
Not much happened today! As we go into Moonwood Mill, I'll be working on getting a lot more story in, and maybe only a few comments. Selena is doing a lot better than she was when this challenge started.
I've been focusing her on Painting, as it's a very versatile skill and great for building up money...
Finally, Selena finished up with some homework. I really do think the Focused painting is very good for this, but I'm also intrigued as to what will happen when the High School EP comes out. I reckon it'll spice things up some!
With her house pretty much packed up, and most things sorted out, Selena found herself with quite a lot of free time. As such, she decided to take the time to check out the best slope that Mt Komorebi had to offer for snowboarding, and see the best sights she could at high speeds. And, to her delight, she found a breathtaking view from the very top that she could see again and again.
She took in the sight for what could be the last time (who knew if she'd be able to come back here?) and then started down the slop, feeling her eyes grow wet. She'd enjoyed living here more than she'd realised, and she knew she'd miss it. She resented Mia for being the reason she had to move, and she wished with all her heart that she could stay.
So, a lot happened in this day! This was pretty much the chunkiest day it could be, and it ended up being a lot of fun given that I hadn't really tried out the slopes like this before. I think I'll be way more prepared for them for next year's challenge, and it definitely felt like a wonderful goodbye to Mt. Komorebi, which is already one of my favourite worlds.
To start the day off, Vlad came knocking but with no luck...
This was the point at which I spotted freakin' GREG running around the slopes at what, 5am? I got very worried that Selena was going to get turned into a werewolf before even getting to Moonwood Mill, but luckily I didn't see him after this.
As for Selena, she was doing just fine, despite grumpy werewolves running around while vampires were knocking on her doors. I'd pay to see those two run into each other, frankly...
Of course, she built up an appetite, so I had her come down and get something from the vending machine because it was still too early for anyone to even be around. One lukewarm hotdog, please!
But just like before, she absolutely had this, and I'm so PROUD of her. We started off sleeping on benches and showering at the onsen, and now she's crushing it on the slopes with her own house!
There were plenty of other screenshots like this, but eventually, I sent her home to get some real food and rest up. It was a lovely day full of snowboarding and beautiful views, honestly, and I'm always impressed at the effort that was put in for this.
Now, for the last couple of images, I did try to get her to climb the mountain, but it didn't go as planned at all. I had Sakura join her, but in the end, I couldn't get Selena to climb very well. Here is a picture of her *attempt*.
So, while I was able to complete the Sightseer Aspiration, I wasn't able to complete the Extreme Sports Enthusiast. Still, I had a lot of fun trying, and I look forward to showing off Selena's life in Moonwood Mill in a couple of days! (Yes, I've been playing ahead a little, which is a lot harder when writing the story!
