Day 6 Speed Dating #2

(I called these solo dates, but they’re actually speed dating in the rules. There’s another round called solo dates. Opps.) For the second round of speed dates, we’ll go from the top to the bottom prioritizing anyone who hasn’t gone on a one-on-one date.

Currently, the relationship order is (taking both friendship & romantic levels together): Kaley, Morgan, Valentina, Jasmine, Zuri, Leah. Taking out those who were in the last round of dates, we're left with Kaley, Morgan, and Jasmine.

Today is Winterfest and we start off with some festive celebrations because I don't want everyone annoying me with sad moodlets over not having an amazing holiday. So, they sing together, light up the tree, and exchange gifts. Blah, blah, blah... Let's get on with it!

1st Date: Kaley

Location: Romantic Lounge (by ), Ciudad Enamorada

As they walk up to the lounge, Eric slips on the ice landing hard on his behind. Between giggles, Kaley asks if he’s ok. He is and joins the laughter.

The lounge is cozy and romantic. There's even live music with a violinist and pianist. They order the mushroom steak. Kaley tries and fails to hide her amusement as Eric takes a big bite. She told him it tastes just like beef steak.

It does not.

Eric: It doesn’t taste just like regular steak.

Kaley laughs.

Eric: But it’s good in its own way.

After dinner and wine, the two go upstairs to talk. And flirt. And stare into each other's eyes for disturbingly long amounts of time.

They end the night with a passionate kiss.

It's a Gold Medal date!! That's what I'm talkin' about!

2nd Date: Morgan

Location: Orchid La Go Go Lounge, Del Sol Valley

Outside the lounge, Morgan and Eric waste no time getting flirty and physical. Morgan goes in for the kill and lands a big one. Eric is surprised but he's not complaining.

Eventually, they pry themselves apart and head inside. Their conversation is a mixture of flirting, swapping stories, and joking around. They laugh together the most out of the three dates today, and keep up the romance throughout their time together.

Eric watches her waddle to the bathroom. He’s a boo-tee man.

They order the Hot and Smoky cocktails (because things are fire between them *wink*).

Their date ended with another gold medal!

3rd Date: Jasmine

Location: The Screaming Gecko Lounge, Tomarang

Jasmine was very hungry before the date started and we feared/hoped a Scarlet sequel. But Jasmine got a sandwich as soon as she walked into the lounge and after scarfing down a PB&J had that "I'm satisfied" high that one has after filling an empty belly.

(Disclaimer: I did not condone her eating a peanut butter & jelly sandwich on this date to Tomarang when there was delicious South Asian food to be had, but Jasmine had pulled it out of a fridge and was halfway done before I realized what was happening. Sims. Can't take them anywhere.)

She happily chatted Eric up, laughing and flirting. The two move to the bar and order sugar juice.

Then things got serious. I don't what was said, but her face says either, childhood trauma or I can’t believe the series I’m streaming ended that way.

They both head upstairs for a potty break. Then start making out.

They slow dance. It's super cute, except...

They're next to the toilet! The toilet! Where people poop! Strangers poop!!!!

Like, I get wanting some privacy, but eww. A public toilet? Really?!?! 😧

After getting hot, heavy, and romantic in the poo room, the two sit on a sofa in the hall like normal people to talk some more. (Probably about how they'll always associate the stringent scent of urine with their first kiss.)

These two like to discuss heavy, personal stories. More "why my life sucked after wasting it on that dumb Simsflix series" stuff... or childhood trauma. I dunno, same difference. It's good that they feel comfortable enough with each other to be vulnerable and open up.
