1-6 // Even More Awkward Dates

One can never have enough of those, apparently.

So we've seen what Masaru and Viola got up to on Spooky Day. But do you really think the resident social butterfly was going to just stay at home all day on a holiday?
Skylar scheduled a party at the festival grounds and invited as many people as he possibly could. Which, as a note, was nowhere even close to everyone he knew. He knows a lot of people.

Including Astrid Pertridge-Anderson, who continues to stalk my sims despite now having a husband she could be spending time with.
On a side note, with the Nraas story progression, everyone who gets married picks up a double surname. Which is kinda cool sometimes, but I gotta ask - what happens when their kids start getting married? Will I be getting quadruple surnames? I feel like this has the potential to get out of hand really quickly.

Anyway. Skylar did just about everything the festival had to offer this late at night. The haunted house...

The honestly disgusting pie eating contest...

Apple bobbing with the ghost of Ella Carlisle, who I could have sworn was still alive the last time I checked...

All of that fun stuff. Then, because the pie and the apples was apparently not enough for him, he stole from Nicholas Riverhawk's picnic.

This looks strangely romantic.
He continued to watch as Nicholas and Jessica Willow started flirting with each other.

Nothing weird about this at all. Nope.

Nothing at all.
Hey, did you know you could mourn at the tombs around the haunted house? These two women were kind enough to demonstrate for me.

I don't think anyone's actually buried there, girls, but you do you. Skylar seems happy that they're grieving, because apparently he's secretly an asshole.
The next morning, Masaru got another call inviting him out on a date. He has yet to learn from last time, so he accepted. Meet Jenny Lho-Chesterfield, who appears to be cursed with resting bitch face. Literally this entire time she looked either angry or... well, like this.

That's unfortunate. So is her choice of date location - she brought Masaru to the military base. Apparently she's one of Viola's co-workers, which must be how she heard of Masaru.

The double surname seems suspicious, so I had Masaru ask about it...

...and it turns out she's married to Scott [Lho-]Chesterfield. Her type is guitarists, apparently.
This, apparently, is not as much of a turn-off for Masaru as Lonnie being in her eighties was, because he still continued to flirt with Jenny. In the middle of a military base.

I feel bad for Scott. Apparently she's literally expecting his baby.
They went out for dinner later, and, well.

I have no words for this one, honestly.
While all of this was going on, the rest of the household did a few odd jobs. After catering for some event, Skylar went dumpster diving on his own. Ew.

But hey, we got a free stereo! It works perfectly, despite having been fished out of the trash.

I had to take out the kitchen bin to fit it there. This cabin really is too small for so many people. Viola agrees.

"This place is a dump," She said during breakfast the next morning. "We should move."
And so, they made the descision to move somewhere else. Without consulting Ciera. Nobody trusts her opinion.

Goodbye, trashy shack...  

 ...hello, empty field.

Oh, hey, where'd this come from?

---

Unfortunately, the welcome sign from the old shack couldn't be packed in the family inventory, and I couldn't find another one in buydebug. But I want my brick sign, goddamnit, so I picked up a university sign instead. This stupid thing is going to become a family heirloom.

 

For those who are interested, here's a tour of the new house. 

And here's the extra screenshots.
