Lost Legacies Gameplay Thread (Ending March 16)

I sent my sims to bed, intent on starting the event first thing in the morning. Guess who rang at my doorbell 2:37...

"Lady, do you have any idea what time it is?" Gavin sputtered.

On the other hand, the stranger didn't look like well versed in life in the big city. Abrasive and competitve as he could be at times, Gavin wasn't the type of person to let someone walk into something nasty.

"Come in already."

The first thing the stranger did in the Reed apartment was to scold Argus.

When I bring a mouse, it's "Ew" and "Eeek", but YOU can bring THIS? How's that fair, mama?

"Who do you think you are to pay back my hospitality like this?!"

"Who I think I am... Interesting phrasing! Long story short, I'm the Royal Envoy you'll have heard about on TV. And YOU are former, but no longer bound to any oath, detective Reed, dabbling in online journalism now. I had hoped we could talk in private."

Royal envoy, pfft. In this position she's probably a minor noble herself. Now that explains the lack of manners!

"I represent the families Darong, Capp and Thor of..."

"...the principality of Veronaville, check."

"A number of heirlooms and national trasures were discovered abroad, here in Detroit specifically. My employers want discrete confirmation whether the artifacts are genuine and, ultimately, retrieve them."

"You won't believe what happened, Danny! Your clickbait producing sweetheart is going private sleuth!"

Much as Gavin enjoyed the attention he received in his online journalist persona, he was missing detective work. For this reason he was looking forward to working with the envoy, but he also couldn't quite shake the feeling of being manipulated.

It was nothing precise, just a gut feeling...
