In general, Kirsty knows how to turn the usual gameplay into an exciting journey and I definitely recommend you to join. Also, I am very impressed with her playing style.

Nerea and Noemi returning to action with 2 new friends!

SMOKING SWEETIES (SSW) NEWEST | 'SMOKING FRIENDS' (FOUR BSWs MEET AT A POOL)

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ | Five "Stars"

From Smoking Sweeties | ★★★★★ (L)

Dual-Media, 3-Post, 48-Pack Megapost!

They are smoking up a storm but not drinking like fish on this lovely summer's day in Spain! The fish-like activities are centered around the swimming pool. When teenage girls start smoking cigarettes on a regular basis, their adults -- parents or older siblings who have been role models for the newbies' emerging smoking styles and habits -- stress the importance of handling their cigarettes as would an adult and behaving in a mature fashion with the habit ostensibly reserved for adults. Well! The action begins with two cigarettes among the four of them, three of whom have not left their teen years so many years ago! And there's no panic. How mature -- how impressive! Not sure when the reinforcements came in, the additional packs of smokes, but these BHYSWs (Beautiful Hot, Young Smoking Women) met the challenge and dispensed with potential crisis with aplomb and grace. So they were able to focus on having a good time, drinking some glasses of wine, meeting new smoking friends. Hence, the title of this outstanding video, 'Smoking Friends' with remarkable and natural smoking action by all four of them!

. . . Fran, the Smoking Sweeties's experienced, creative and just sensational web-master/web producer is uncanny in his ability to find the right meshing of personalities for his related series. He's done it again, and with flair. What insight! How instinctive/intuitive! This "Smoking Friends" preview clip highlights some outstanding talking exhales, wonderful examples of the rarely seen "residual" exhales, superb light-ups, hard core dragging and some top-notch, powerful exhales. They are consistent by featuring similar attributes in style and flavor, with alike action from these lovely Spanish BSWs (Beautiful Smoking Women), cousins of BHYSWs. The titles of the 13 videos in the same SSW genre, with the addition of Smoking Friends, now includes: Dance Class Meetup with 4 Smokers, 3 Smoking Girlfriends - Part 1, 3 Beginners Playing Pool, Smoking Ladies Night, Lucy and Ainhoa: The Chimney Girls, 3 Chimneys Talk about Smoking, 5 Chimneys in the Wine Cellar, 4 Chimneys in the Wine Cellar, 3 Chimneys in the Wine Cellar, 4 Heavy Smoking Girls Playing Cards, 4 Heavy Smoking Girls and, of course, 3 Chimneys Playing Cards.

The observation/critique that must be stated here -- nothing is perfect, our SF aficionado friends -- is that two of the four participants in this video are unnamed. They are unknown to us and without identification. This is what we know: Nerea has returned from Smoking Ladies Party, wearing the skimpy bikini with the brown top. Nerea, whose French inhales were devastating in her debut, is no rival of Busty Deelite! Noemi is wearing the blue/aqua two piece bathing suit and has dark hair. Her debut post is featured within this Smoking Friends post. All of this leaves two pool partiers without ID: The BHYSW with dark hair, pulled back in a clip in some scenes, wearing a sheer top with a colorful print; and the other with a print bathing suit top and dark solid color bottom with medium length hair dangling is some scenes and pulled up in others. Would like to learn their names and see them again, for this was their debuts with SSW.

From the website administrators' narrative on the Smoking Sweeties post of Smoking Friends, which features five scenes:

"The first meeting happens in the pool during a hot summer day, everyone hasn't smoked for an hour and there are only two cigarettes so they pass it to each other while they talk about how they started smoking. They all started smoking regularly at the age of 14 – Noemi started even earlier – and briefly explain their story of how it happened."

The description -- somehow not naming the other two BHYSWs aside from Nerea and Noemi, who are returning for the second videos by each -- concludes with the following:

"Throughout the video, the talking exhales with residual smoke stand out. In some conversations they talk about their first cigarette of the day, how they do it at work to smoke, and how their mothers detected how they smoked by smelling their hands. Interestingly, the 4 girls are daughters of smoking mothers, from whom they stole their cigarettes."

Now an excerpt from one of the 10 reviews posted to SSW, within the first four days of "Smoking Friends" publication on September 2, 2023:

On September 3, 2023, by Dan Jones

"I love the video, one of the best for a long time from SSW. However, in the talking sections, I'd love to hear about how much the girls smoke each day. This important fact seems to be missing a lot from recent videos from a whole range of different producers. It's the most important piece of information for me!"

📩 Simblr question of the day: Choose a sim of your own that you consider your/a fave, then choose one sim from three (or more!) different simblrs, now imagine what those sims would be like in a room together? Who's walking out first? Who's staying the longest? Who would get along? Who wouldn't get along at all? Elaborate as much or as little as you'd like :) (p.s please feel free to share this to others, anon or not, and feel free to use the hashtag " SQOTD "! I love seeing everyone's answers and reading them makes my day ~ 💛 ) (p.p.s I saw you ask for the best friend ask, be on the lookout for that sometime soon :))

Oh my gosh I have so many ideas I'll have to put them under a cut!

Brunch Date

First up we're going BIG! I'm talking time to ship up every single member of the York family to go and meet the Alegria family by @matchalovertrait! Wouldn't be too massive of a trip though since we're mostly all in Tartosa.

I suspect Devin and Dulce would get along. I think Aaron would probably be a bit too pompous for Erick to maintain a conversation with. I'm guessing Noemi would probably not mind talking to Calista since they're both family and career women. Angel would probably be the one helping Joey make sure Alfred and Rilian are having fun.

Supernatural Hang out

Sending my werewolf Samir, his boyfriend Reece, and the Knightstone's to try and make friends...

They would be meeting up with Caleb and Morgan by @marcishaun, as well as Lou and Lux by @ethicaltreatmentofcowplants.

As well as Priscilla, Tony and Moumou by @eljeebee and the Bohan family by @aliengirl.

First up Moumou (who's a cat if you didn't know) would be surrounded by all the younger sims. The youngest would probably just all be sitting there making imitation cat noises. I like to think Silas would be interested to meet Carina and Orion and have a million questions about how they manage to look both human and alien at the same time.

Blue would tell Adam how he carried a pregnancy and Adam would storm off in horror for several reasons. First off Adam doesn't want more kids. Plus he's hot headed. Then of course Adam hates UFO aliens getting humans pregnant and would probably feel like the tale hits to close to home, even though Rhea and Blue made their kids with love. Suzanna however would be fascinated to learn about the process.

Priscilla would likely try to cheer up Caleb about being a vampire while Tony would probably try to impart some wisdom about being a human in love with an immortal to Morgan.

Let's be real Samir would probably sit there brooding the entire time but Reece would undoubtedly be chatting at a million miles an hour with Lou and Lex to try and learn all he could about real werewolves.

EDIT: I forgot my main point which is I think most of them would enjoy talking about plants and gardening and nature.

Animal Get Together

Cluckton would be hanging out in a park with Matilda from @sharona-sims...

Le Chat by @akitasimblr, Nougat by @kissalopa and Daisy by @lauralovelysims

They would get up to mysterious animal things

Universes Collide

Amiyah and her siblings by @deardiaryts4 are invited to the Chopra Homestead!

I would invite the other Rahul but I think things could get awkward if Amiyah's parents show up considering her Cassandra is best friends with the woman who married and then divorced Rahul...

I think Amiyah would spend the time trying to teach Savannah and Mercedes how to dance and would probably give them several make overs. Cassandra would find it fascinating to meet these alternate universe Rahul offspring where as Rahul would probably be a bit creeped out.

Casual Drinks!

Sending Joey to meet the infamous Ben Ben by @slightly-ludic for a night on the town! You know Ben needs a drink after that Jungle Adventure!

Of course we're also inviting Astrid by @simmerbeans and Stan and Milena by @stargazer-sims.

A lot of the talk would revolve around travel and what different countries are like. I think Astrid would love talking to Ben and Stan, Joey would do his best to comment on the conversation but secretly be eyeing up whatever single ladies are in the bar. Of course Joey and Ben would say some dopey stuff earning them eyerolls from the other three. I think the younger ones would benefit from time with Stan and Milena though, get some life lessons.

It was business as usual at Postres de Alegría. Some people may find it mundane, but Noemí would describe it more as peaceful. Before opening, she cleaned, baked, and set up the baked goods in the displays. Angela, their employee, came in when the store opened and cleaned the kitchen.

Noemí took this time to interact with the customers. Besides baking and bringing people joy with her pastries, her other favorite part of this career is building connections with people. She loves hearing about their lives and sharing laughs with them. It is always such a delight when regulars come and chat like they're lifelong friends. In fact, it looked like one just came in now! Well, they weren't exactly friends yet, but Noemí was sure she could get him to talk more one of these days.

The customer busted through the doors when Noemí began to wave and welcome him, but he cut her off. "Hello, everyone! As you may have heard, Alto's Bakery is opening very soon," the man proclaimed. Okay... maybe he was not just a customer?

Noemí and the rest of the people in the bakery stared at this strange man in silence. Nobody reads the newspaper anymore, so they were a little clueless. "I'm sorry, sir?" Noemi inquired. "Why are you announcing this in my bakery?"

"I'm Alfonso Alto and I welcome each and every one of you to my all-authentic Italian bakery, which is set to open very soon." After Alfonso said this, the customers gasped and started whispering amongst themselves. "Alfonso Alto?" "Brother of Nick and Bert?" "Wow, it's really him.." "I thought he moved permanently to Isla Paradiso." "Yes, it really is me! By the way, make sure to come to the grand opening. The first 50 people to come get 50% off on their entire order," Alfonso added. "As my family name suggests, the quality of our pastries is high, but don't worry! Our prices are low." Noemí tried not to let out the biggest groan. Was that supposed to be a slogan? That's way too wordy.

Now there was a lot of chatter coming from everywhere in the bakery. Many people seemed interested. "Will Alto's Bakery have cannolis?" someone asked. It seemed like Alfonso was making a mental note before he answered. Maybe cannolis were not even part of the menu before the customer asked that? "Of course! We will also have blueberry cheesecake, churros, tres leches cake, and more." Okay, this is getting ridiculous. Now he's just naming popular items from Postres de Alegría. "Sir, please. Let's talk outside," Noemí told him. She tried to remain civil in front of the customers.

Once they were outside, she spoke her mind. "Are you okay in the head? You must be in love with Teodor if you're this obsessed with him."

"No, but I am in love with his ideas. The resort didn't exactly go as planned, so I came to analyze his business practices in person. Then, I saw what a great business he has here. I'm switching industries."

"It's not just his business," Noemí's voice broke. "It's mine too."

"Look, it's nothing personal. I'm just following the money," Alfonso sat flatly. Suddenly, Noemí heard another man's voice.

"Alfonso, you should be ashamed of yourself. I hoped you would have changed after 16 years. Now, leave. You already made your point." Teodor came a bit too late, which please Alfonso. He got to ruin their morale without any interruption and still got to see the look on Teodor's face.

"You're right, I had my fun here. I'll be on my way out," Alfonso said before he left. He looked over his shoulder and smirked.

Ai Mikaze (All Star)

Translator: Nadie (twitter: NmoniaG)

Proofreader: Raine (twitter: amagiyas)

Editor: Noemi (twitter: dreaminbeyond)

Chapter 6 - Gondola at Dusk

After undergoing maintenance, Mikaze-senpai returned to his work.

Filming for the movie also resumed after its long break, and at the end of February, everyone was working hard to wrap up the shooting.

Most of my time in February was taken up finishing jobs that had accumulated over the holiday season.

However, I’m also managing some of Senpai’s events to accompany him to his work.

The reason doesn't really matter. As long as I can be by his side, I’m happy.

Ai Mikaze: Why are you grinning like that? Are you making good progress?

Haruka Nanami: Uwah?! Oh, sorry, I’m on it.

I suddenly realize that Senpai’s standing there holding a cup of coffee in his hand.

Ai Mikaze: Don’t "Oh!" me. You know it’s not good to space out during work. Did you upload the BGM score?

It’s March 1st. Filming will continue in the afternoon.

Until then, I will use this short time to get the BGM checked.

Ai Mikaze: Really… pull yourself together. Here, take this. I won’t drink it, but if you don’t keep yourself awake you’ll keep spacing out.

He puts the cup of coffee on the table with a sigh.

Haruka Nanami: Ahh—sorry! You even made me coffee….

Ai Mikaze: It’s alright, just drink it! You're the only one who gets this special treatment from me.

He says while deliberately adding milk to the cup.

Haruka Nanami: Okay….

His way of speaking seems a bit frank but that’s just like him so it makes me happy.

However, our time together like this is limited.

He takes a look at the BGM score I hand him.

Ai Mikaze: Mhm, it’s nice. Your songs are just like you…. I can feel some sort of kindness in them.

After cutting himself off from Aine-san, Mikaze-senpai became even more like a human being.

In exchange for a deadline, he received the treasure of “free emotions.”

I have to create a song for the Song Festival that shows that freedom to its fullest.

Haruka Nanami: Thank you very much. I’ll also do my best for the Song Festival!

"Mhm," he adds with a nod and looks at my face as I put the coffee cup to my lips.

It’s afternoon when we arrive at the filming location.

Reiji Kotobuki: Heyah—! Ai-Ai, Kouhai-chan! Long time no see—♪

Kotobuki-senpai rushes towards us.

Haruka Nanami: Oh, Kotobuki-senpai! Um, thanks for the other day….

Ai Mikaze: The other day?

Mikaze-senpai eyes me with a suspicious look as I bow politely.

Haruka Nanami: Ah—No, it’s…!

Reiji Kotobuki: Come on, don’t give us that scary look! She only came to ask for some advice. Dear me~ You really shouldn’t worry our little Kouhai-chan so much ☆

Ai Mikaze: Huh? Er, okay….

Reiji Kotobuki: Anyways, I’m glad that you’re feeling better now! On that topic—why is it that you never reply to my messages, Ai-Ai?!

Ai Mikaze: Because your messages are too long! There are so many special characters that they make it hard to read. As a result, I can't even tell which parts of your messages are important.

Reiji Kotobuki: On the other hand, yours are way too short! When I finally get a reply it’s mostly just single words like “Okay” or “No”!

Ai Mikaze: I mean, there's no reason to write more than that….

I puff up my cheeks.

It’s been so long since I’ve seen these two talk to each other on set. They seem to have a good time.

Their conversation ends and Mikaze-senpai gets ready on standby.

Reiji Kotobuki: Kouhai-chaaan, can I have a moment?

Kotobuki-senpai seems to be beckoning me to a corner of the filming set.

Haruka Nanami: What is it?

Heading his way, Kotobuki-senpai makes a shushing gesture.

Reiji Kotobuki: Do you know what day it is today?

Select the phrase!

ホワイトデー White Day (+0)

Haruka Nanami: White Day! No, that can’t be right.

Reiji Kotobuki: Nonono, you must be kidding! March has just begun! It’s the 1st!

Haruka Nanami: Huh… the 1st, so…. No way….

Reiji Kotobuki: Eh, what? Could it be that you just remembered?

Haruka Nanami: Isn’t today… Mikaze-senpai’s birthday?

Kotobuki-senpai hangs his head, crestfallen.

⁂

誕生日 Birthday (+15)

Haruka Nanami: Of course! March 1st is Mikaze-senpai’s birthday!

Kotobuki-senpai claps.

Reiji Kotobuki: Right, correct answer~! Heeere, since Kouhai-chan answered correctly, you win this Super Nice Guy Doll!

Haruka Nanami: Oh, this doll, I’ve seen it on some kind of quiz show before.

… But anyway, it’s today?

Haruka Nanami: It’s his birthday… but….

Because of all that happened last month, I completely forgot to prepare something for it.

Reiji Kotobuki: My? Could this air be the “I’m-not-prepared-at-all” mood?

Haruka Nanami: S-sorry…. I've been so caught up in the hustle and bustle recently….

⁂

撮影の日 Day of the filming (+10)

Haruka Nanami: It’s the day of the filming?

Reiji Kotobuki: That’s true. Yeah, that it is. No doubt about it.

—As if!! Aren’t you forgetting something more important about this day?!

Haruka Nanami: Ah! March 1st…. Today is Mikaze-senpai’s birthday?!

Reiji Kotobuki: Oh man, pull yourself together, partner!

I slap my cheeks, throwing Kotobuki-senpai off.

⁂

Haruka Nanami: No way, so it’s today….

Reiji Kotobuki: Correct! Today’s Ai-Ai’s birthday. So I thought maybe we should all celebrate it together, as a surprise~?

Kotobuki-senpai says cheerfully.

Reiji Kotobuki: —And then I thought, everyone on set should give him a present, but what present would he like?

Something that Mikaze-senpai would like….

Select the phrase!

メッセージカード A message card (+15)

Haruka Nanami: How about a card with messages from everyone? He can enjoy it whenever he looks at it.

Reiji Kotobuki: I see, I see. In that case I’ll fill the card to the fullest with all my heart!

Haruka Nanami: T-then it won’t be a team effort anymore!!

Kotobuki-senpai gives a hearty laugh.

Messages from everyone…. Can I also write something on it? I think I will.

⁂

記念撮影 A commemorative picture (+10)

Haruka Nanami: In that case, what about a photo with everyone for commemoration….

Reiji Kotobuki: Oh, sounds good! There happens to be a photographer here today. I’ll ask them to take a professional photo!

Haruka Nanami: Okay!

After it’s shot I can put it in a frame and give it to him as a present.

Kotobuki-senpai wastes no time and calls out to the photographer.

⁂

手作りケーキ Handmade cake (+0)

Reiji Kotobuki: What? Right now?! Er, if we buy the ingredients we could probably decorate it with everyone's help… maybe?

Haruka Nanami: Right…. Oh, er—

Mikaze-senpai isn’t really fond of food to begin with, so it wasn't the best suggestion.

Haruka Nanami: It really is too sudden to start now. We’d have to leave the set for it too…. Should I get some flowers?

We end up discussing what kind of bouquet to get for Mikaze-senpai.

⁂

Reiji Kotobuki: Alright, I’ll leave the shopping to you! Get on your way and be careful!

“Here are your war funds!” He hands me a coin purse with a salute.

Haruka Nanami: Oh—Okay! I’ll be on my way!

I hurriedly return his salute.

Since the consultation is over, I run to the nearest main road to go shopping.

Let’s buy the things Kotobuki-senpai asked for, as well as some party poppers and all the party goods I can think of!

Haruka Nanami: This much should be fine…. Ah, that’s right!

Noticing a general store, I head inside.

I should also give Senpai a present for his birthday.

For this one, I pull out my own purse and look around the store.

What should I get….

Select the phrase!

ピヨちゃんの時計 Piyo-chan clock (+0)

I reach for the Piyo-chan alarm clock.

The alarm sound coming from the yellow device imitates Piyo-chan.

Haruka Nanami: Hmm… I think that’s a little too cute.

Shinomiya-san, who loves Piyo-chan, would have liked this. However, I can’t even imagine Mikaze-senpai waking up to this.

I look around the shop. There has to be something else.

⁂

海の写真集 Ocean photo book (+20)

I grab an ocean themed photo book.

One photo shows a sea’s coral reef in its rich colors.

Haruka Nanami: It’s beautiful, but I want to find something that’ll be easier to carry around.

I look around the shop.

⁂

マフラー Scarf (+15)

I grab a white scarf.

Haruka Nanami: That’s right, Senpai gave me a scarf for christmas.

However, it’ll be spring soon. So giving him a scarf now would be….

Hoping to find something better, I look around some more.

⁂

I come to a stop at the accessory corner.

My eyes land on a bangle and I reach out for it.

The silver bangle in my hand is slim with a simple design. It's inlaid with what appear to be natural blue stones.

There’s a small sign next to it.

“An accessory, adorned with the birthstone for march: aquamarine. Aquamarine is also called ‘mermaid tears’.”

I haven't seen Senpai wear accessories in private before but….

Haruka Nanami: This would suit him.

Deciding to wrap it myself, I go to the wrapping corner to prepare his present.

After buying everything I need, I prepare to head back to the filming location when I suddenly notice a familiar face walking towards me.

His white coat stands out on the city streets.

Haruka Nanami: Professor…. Why are you here…?

Professor: Just by chance. No need to be so wary.

Before me stands the professor.

This is my first time seeing him since the day Mikaze-senpai collapsed.

Could he be staying near Mikaze-senpai because he’s worried about him?

Haruka Nanami: Uhm… how is Aine-san?

Professor: He's still asleep. Even after all that, his condition hasn't changed and he's still stable.

Although their connection was cut, Aine-san continued to sleep.

“Is this for the best?” That thought slips my mind.

Professor: Hey now, don’t give me the long face. We can be happy about this outcome.

Haruka Nanami: Huh…?

Professor: Ai told me that we don’t have to force Aine to wake up. He should have the strength to wake up by himself.

He said: “What else can we do but believe in his strength?”—Can’t believe Ai was the one to tell me something like that.

Haruka Nanami: …Mikaze-senpai told me that he met Aine-san.

“Seems like it.” The professor says with a nod.

Professor: For humans, there are times when they want to run away and times when they want to rest.

I became so desperate in my deed to save Aine, I never thought about everyone else’s feelings.

I hurt Aine, Ai, and also you. For that, I’m sorry.

Everyone’s feelings….

Haruka Nanami: But… I believe that having someone who is waiting for you must be a truly wonderful thing.

You wanted to help wake Aine-san, and I don’t think that those feelings were futile.

So please, just wait for him.

He nods silently.

Professor: About Ai, to be honest there is still nothing we can do. I can’t access his system.

Haruka Nanami: Oh… I see….

I clasp my hands together tightly.

Professor: However, I’ll keep trying until the very end. I’ll give it my all to save even a fragment of his memory! Hopefully, I can do that at least.

Haruka Nanami: …Please. I'm counting on you.

Professor: I also plan to let Aine hear your song for the Song Festival.

Haruka Nanami: Of course…. Mikaze-senpai and Aine-san seem to have made a promise with each other.

That’s what I tell him.

Shortly after, the professor leaves to continue his business.

Haruka Nanami: … Until the very end….

One day, that moment will come. Is there something I can do until then?

I check the time.

Haruka Nanami: Oh, it’s already this late!

I have to go back now or the filming will be over.

Haruka Nanami: Time sure passes quickly.

I start running back to the set.

Once the filming ends, Mikaze-senpai prepares to leave after thanking everyone. That’s when Kotobuki-senpai calls out to him in an attempt to hold him up.

Reiji Kotobuki: Whoa there, wait a minute—! Stay! Hey, stay! And now, everyone assemble!

He firmly grabs Mikaze-senpai by the collar.

Ai Mikaze: Wha—what? Stop it, Reiji…. Idiot, you're ruining my clothes!

Dragging him back on set, Kotobuki-senpai promptly gathers the staff members and actors together.

Reiji Kotobuki: Are you ready~? Well, well everyone, now together! Ready—go! Congratulations, Ai-Ai!!

At once, everyone cracks their party poppers as congratulatory words surround him from all sides.

Natsuki Shinomiya: Congratulations!

Syo Kurusu: Congratulations, Ai!

Shinomiya-san and Syo-kun who arrive later also crack open their poppers with great enthusiasm.

Ai Mikaze: Huh? Right, thank you. But what are we celebrating?

Mikaze-senpai looks at us with puzzled eyes.

Reiji Kotobuki: Oh, stahp it~! Today’s Ai-Ai’s birthday, no? Yet another year closer to adulthood. Whooo—! A merry occasion!!

Ai Mikaze: Uh… birthday…? A birthday celebration for me…?

Still being somewhat unsure, Mikaze-senpai looks at everyone around him.

Syo Kurusu: Don’t tell me…. Is this your first time celebrating your birthday?

Mikaze-senpai replies with a nod.

Whaaat?!—everyone exclaims in shock.

Ai Mikaze: I do have the knowledge about celebrating these but… I see… so my day of birth can be celebrated as well.

Senpai murmurs.

A Bavarian cake is placed on the table.

I bought it thinking that he might like something with some jelly on it.

Reiji Kotobuki: ‘Kay, now—without toppling the candles over, blow them out like whoo, whooo!

Ai Mikaze: “Whoo”? Uhm, how do I do it? Should I just blow them off by expelling the air through my lips?

Mimicking Kotobuki-senpai’s lip shape, I’ve rarely seen Mikaze-senpai this flustered.

Haruka Nanami: You got it! And now, you put out the flame on all the candles!

Everyone watches Mikaze-senpai.

Ai Mikaze: Err, this is somehow really embarrassing…. Uhm… whoo—?

Hesitantly, Mikaze-senpai puts out the candles on top of the cake.

Afterwards, we take a commemorative picture and hand him a message card with a small flower bouquet.

As a side show, we have Kotobuki-senpai parodying Mikaze-senpai, and for some reason he then asks Shinomiya-san and Syo-kun to do a comedy sketch together.

The party continues for a little while longer.

Standing in the center surrounded by everyone, Mikaze-senpai still seems a little confused, but a side of him also looks happy….

Hopefully, this will become a good memory for him.

I can’t help feeling a little saddened by these thoughts, however I try not to let it show.

Haruka Nanami: Senpai, is everything alright? You look troubled….

Ai Mikaze: It’s because of the parody that Reiji did of me. Am I… really always like that?

Haruka Nanami: Uhm, well….

We’re on our way home from the birthday party.

The parody that Kotobuki-senpai did of Senpai was indeed accurate down to his usual expressions, but it was a bit too exaggerated.

Ai Mikaze: And moreover, I couldn't laugh at Natsuki and Syo's comedy skit where neither one would make remarks at the other's absurd actions. More or less, it seemed like their act was about poking fun at Mikaze-senpai's skill in not reacting to people's silly behavior, but making a good comedy skit without any witty remarks is tough to pull off.

Haruka Nanami: You’re as strict as always, Senpai.

Ai Mikaze: Hehe, but it was fun! I was surprised when everyone suddenly congratulated me, but it made me happy.

Haruka Nanami: Thank goodness….

As I mumble, Mikaze-senpai looks at me briefly and smiles.

Haruka Nanami: Ah! That’s right! Senpai, I have a present for you!

We went to a nearby park and sat down on a bench.

I hand him a paper bag which he opens clumsily.

Ai Mikaze: This is… an accessory? A blue stone. It must be aquamarine, right?

He holds the bangle up against the park’s streetlight.

Haruka Nanami: That's right. Aquamarine is the birthstone for March, and they’re also called “mermaid tears.”

Ai Mikaze: Heh…. Doesn’t it fit me perfectly then? However, I don’t know how to put this on. Can you put it on for me? Please?

He holds his hand and the bangle out to me.

Haruka Nanami: Sure!

I put the bangle on his wrist.

The aquamarine stone and the silver of the bangle have a sparkling shine.

Ai Mikaze: Oh, it fits my wrist perfectly! It’s pretty…. Thank you, I will take good care of it.

He holds the bangle up in the park’s streetlight yet again and narrows his eyes.

I’m glad he likes it. But at the same time, an indescribable sadness overcomes me.

Just when the two of us are finally alone, why do these thoughts keep coming to mind?

Ai Mikaze: Listen…. I don’t want you to feel sad for me.

As if he had noticed my feelings, Senpai turns to face me.

Ai Mikaze: A lot has happened, but now I have people who celebrate my birthday and that makes me really happy.

Besides, seeing your sad expression is also painful for me. I know it’s not easy but… can you try smiling for me?

Haruka Nanami: Smiling….

Senpai smiles gently.

Ai Mikaze: Truthfully, leaving you also hurts me, but I will do it in such a way that you won’t feel sad. Because you see, I want you to remember my smile.

He gently holds his pinky out.

Ai Mikaze: A pinky promise. That’s what you do when you make a promise, right?

I nod. Then I entwined his slim pinky with my small pinky.

Ai Mikaze: Cross my heart I will not lie, or else I'll eat a needle pie. Pinky promise.

He chants the rhyme as if singing the words. The moment we let go of our pinkies, the bangle around his wrist jingles.

Ai Mikaze: Now it’s a promise! ….Hey, will you smile for me? I want to see your smiling face over and over again.

Haruka Nanami: Over and over, you say?

To my question, he only points to his head making a tapping gesture.

Ai Mikaze: Yes. I want to fill my remaining memory with your smiles.

I smile at him and then he softly pats my head.

From then on, neither of us brought up the topic of our eventual parting. Instead, we focused on the Song Festival and worked on our song together.

Today is finally the last day of filming.

With the ocean in the background, the mermaid prince wishes for the heroine’s happiness and offers her a song. This is the scene where he turns into foam and disappears.

Their first encounter was also at this ocean.

The now grown-up heroine has lost her eyesight due to an accident. She can no longer see the prince, who has lost his voice.

She’s talking about the most beautiful times of her life.

Like the fateful encounter she had at this beach. That day, the heroine’s and mermaid prince’s hearts connected in song.

Halfway through her story, it becomes a monologue.

“I want to hear the song from that time,” she says. Wanting to make her happy, he starts singing with all his heart.

As soon as he uses his voice, he’s fated to disappear into foam. In spite of that, he continues to sing.

Kotobuki-senpai came to watch Mikaze-senpai’s acting.

Reiji Kotobuki: Man, he’s changed…. Amazing. He’s like a totally different person.

Kotobuki-senpai mutters to himself.

Haruka Nanami: You're right. But now it's all coming to an end….

Kotobuki-senpai nods in agreement.

Reiji Kotobuki: You know, when you mentioned Aine that one time I was really shocked. What if Kouhai-chan met him somewhere? That thought crossed my mind.

Haruka Nanami: Huh…?

Reiji Kotobuki: I want to believe that he’s still alive somewhere. And for whatever reason, he hasn't come back. It’s better to think that way…. It puts my mind at ease.

Haruka Nanami: …Do you have regrets?

Reiji Kotobuki: I do. If there’s one thing that I regret, then it’d be the fact that I couldn’t have a proper conversation with him before he left. After all, he vanished so suddenly.

With that said, Kotobuki-senpai turns back to Mikaze-senpai.

Reiji Kotobuki: To be honest, a part of me started seeing resemblances between the two of them.

But Ai-Ai is strong. On the other hand, since he’s strong there are still things to worry about. I just don’t want what happened once to repeat itself all over again.

He should be more like me and learn to loosen up. There are way too many dangerous guys out there.

“A whole army of them,” he adds and laughs bitterly.

Reiji Kotobuki: Hey, Kouhai-chan. No matter what, be willing to listen to him, okay?

Haruka Nanami: ….

Reiji Kotobuki: If something happens, he probably won’t come and tell me. I don’t believe I’d have the confidence to face him then either.

I’m not in a position to say this, but if it’s Kouhai-chan then you’ll be fine.

If by some chance he tells you that he’s going somewhere, can you see him off properly? Since I was never able to do so.

Haruka Nanami: Kotobuki-senpai….

Reiji Kotobuki: Ahaha. Sorry for the weird conversation. A new chapter starts for Ai-Ai today. We’ll finish filming soon.

My~ The filming took a long time, but it was fun!

Kotobuki-senpai laughs and the last scene ends.

Director: Cut!! …Good, OK!!

Upon hearing the director’s last words, applause erupts all around.

Ai Mikaze: Everyone…. Thank you very much for everything!!

The applause gets significantly louder as he bows.

All the co-actors gather around Mikaze-senpai.

Natsuki Shinomiya: Good job, Ai-chan! You were wonderful!

Syo Kurusu: Somehow I… I was really touched.

His eyes are red-rimmed from crying, and he quickly wipes them with his sleeve.

Reiji Kotobuki: Good job on your first main role—! My, isn’t this already the face of a real actor? Is there hope for your next work?

Ai Mikaze: That’s too hasty! Really now…. But… thank you.

Mikaze-senpai smiles as he takes a bouquet from Kotobuki-senpai.

Ai Mikaze: I really mean it… thank you for everything!

He faces the co-actors and staff members before bowing deeply.

The filming was finished, and by the time everything had been packed up the day was already coming to an end.

The Ferris wheel gondolas were lightly rising into the evening sky.

That’s where I discovered Mikaze-senpai’s secret last year.

We both look up at the Ferris wheel.

Ai Mikaze: Let’s take a ride on it before going home. I want to see the scenery from up there once again. Only if you’re not scared, of course.

Haruka Nanami: It’s not scary anymore! After all, I have you by my side.

We both laugh.

Ai Mikaze: Well, it’s not as cold as it was last year, and even if it does stop, I’ll stay by your side again all night.

Haruka Nanami: Huh?! T-that’s….

He flashes a mischievous smile, standing in front of the Ferris wheel.

Ai Mikaze: Come on, shall we? We have more than enough time today.

He takes my hand and runs ahead.

We take off on the Ferris wheel and it feels as if we’re floating to the stars.

This time we’re sitting next to each other. He’s still holding my hand, and it feels warm and pleasant.

We can see the light displays shining on the shore across the water.

Ai Mikaze: I wonder what happened afterwards.

Senpai mutters to himself while looking at the lights.

Haruka Nanami: …After what?

Ai Mikaze: I’m talking about the movie. I wonder what the heroine did after the mermaid prince disappeared?

They didn’t continue the story after that. However, I think the heroine continued to live alone after the prince’s disappearance….

They don’t reveal what happens after the prince disappears and leave it up to the viewer’s imagination.

SELECT THE PHRASE!

わかりません I don’t know (+0)

Haruka Nanami: I don’t know….

But… I think the emotions she felt in those happy moments will stay in her heart forever.

⁂

思い出と共に生きていくShe keeps on living with their memories (+20)

Haruka Nanami: I’m sure that he was able to reach her through his song and his prayer for her happiness.

Over time, her memory will fade. Of his face, his voice…. She might even forget him one day.

Only the feelings from those fleeting moments of happiness might remain in her heart forever.

⁂

悲しんだと思うI think she suffers (+10)

Haruka Nanami: I think she’ll suffer deeply. Just when she realized that he’s the one from that day, he disappears.

Senpai just mutters a silent “I see.”

⁂

Ai Mikaze: I wonder what will happen in our case.

The gondola steadily rises higher and higher.

The noise of the city fades away and silence takes over.

It’s so quiet that we could hear our breaths. In this silence, I'm drawn to the shared warmth of our linked hands.

Ai Mikaze: Listen… Haruka.

He tightens his grip on my hand slightly so I look over to him—

—and meet his eyes which are fixed on me.

Ai Mikaze: I've finally come to understand the feeling of liking—of loving someone.

It’s not just happiness when you’re together. Sometimes it’s tough, painful and suffocating but….

Just the thought of them alone warms your heart. That’s how powerful it is. It makes me a little proud of myself.

I love you, Haruka.

I finally got to understand this emotion—my treasure.

Senpai laughs happily.

Seeing his smile, my next words spill out naturally.

Haruka Nanami: I’m also in love with you, Mikaze-senpai! These feelings are also my treasure.

Ai Mikaze: …Thank you.

Senpai hugs me tightly.

Ai Mikaze: Robots don’t know love. So this is love. It took me a long time to realize that I’m in love.

No matter what happens from now on, the fact that I got to know such a wonderful feeling makes me so happy!

“I’m also really happy.”

Instead of answering with those words, I hug him tighter in response.

Communicating heart to heart—this moment is the happiest in the world. I want to feel it with my whole body.

Ai Mikaze: Can I… ask for something?

He whispers as we’re hugging in the lightly swaying gondola.

Haruka Nanami: …What is it?

Ai Mikaze: I might want… to kiss you. Can I?

SELECT THE PHRASE!

はい Yes (+30)

It’s very embarrassing, but if it’s with Mikaze-senpai then….

Haruka Nanami: Yes….

I answer relieved, casting my eyes down….

Ai Mikaze: Oh… I’m glad. Somehow I’m really happy. It makes my heart beat so fast.

⁂

きっ、キスですか？K-kiss? (+15)

Ai Mikaze: I mean, the one we shared previously in your kitchen was an accident…. It doesn’t count as a real kiss, so….

Bashfulness is mixed in with his words.

Haruka Nanami: T-that’s right…. So you remember.

Ai Mikaze: There’s no way I’d forget! I have an excellent memory after all. So, please…?

I nod without a word.

⁂

今ですか！？Now?! (+0)

I look up in surprise and see Senpai with a little pout on his face.

Ai Mikaze: But we even expressed our feelings with each other…. So can’t we…?

He tilts his head. Without saying a word, I nod in agreement.

⁂

Ai Mikaze: To be honest, I don’t know what to do but you don’t have to be nervous.

I can see Mikaze-senpai’s long eyelashes and his clear eyes right in front of me.

Ai Mikaze: Uhm, and also… can you close your eyes?

Haruka Nanami: Ah—okay!

I close my eyes tightly and can feel Senpai’s body heat.

The tip of his nose touches mine.

At that moment, it feels like time has stopped.

Haruka Nanami: …?

When I don't feel our lips touching at all, I slightly open my eyes again.

Ai Mikaze: You see, our noses… they bump into each other. What should I do?

Senpai is completely at a loss.

Haruka Nanami: Huh? I think you might have to try tilting your head a little?

Ai Mikaze: Tilting…. Uhm, like this? Oh, I see.

He nods several times perhaps in satisfaction.

Ai Mikaze: Sorry, let's try that again! I’ll do it right this time, so… close your eyes?

The fingers on our clasped hands intertwine and squeeze tightly.

Ai Mikaze: …Nh….

His lips gently touch mine.

Ai Mikaze: Hehe, it’s warm… nh….

As if to confirm the warmth, our lips part for an instant but then meet again.

It should be embarrassing, yet it makes me so happy, filling my whole heart.

After we part, Senpai exhales.

Ai Mikaze: Hah… I see…. This… was quite nice actually….

Haruka Nanami: S-senpai!!

He chuckles and curls my hair around his finger.

Ai Mikaze: I mean, that’s how I honestly felt. Being connected with you like that…. Hey… Haruka. Let’s do it again.

Haruka Nanami: Mm… mhh….

Since we aren’t kissing anymore, I feel so embarrassed that I cannot face him.

Ai Mikaze: No? Did you already get tired of it?

I reply by shaking my head to which Senpai smiles.

Ai Mikaze: Thank you. I’m glad that I fell in love with you…. I love you. Nh…

It’s a chilly night on a spring day.

Inside the gondola as it slowly descends to the ground, we share a kiss and bask in each other’s warmth.

In the days leading up to the Song Festival, whenever we had free time we went out together.

We would go to the cinema or go shopping in the mall…

…taking a walk and watching the flowers bloom along the road….

Such a trivial, daily life was pure happiness for me.

Even the time in which we worked on our song was important to us, and we were close to finishing it.

Today, Senpai called me into the studio.

For some reason, he asked me to prepare for a recording.

Once everything is ready, I call out to Senpai who is in the booth.

Haruka Nanami: Everything is set, Senpai. Can we record?

Senpai agrees with a nod. When the music is about to start, he….

Ai Mikaze: Hello, I’m Ai Mikaze.

Senpai steps up to the microphone.

Ai Mikaze: Today, I’d like to sing a song that my precious person made for me. Please listen to it.

Music Game S

Ai Mikaze: Thank goodness. I was finally able to sing it….

Once he finished singing, he mumbles to the microphone and then raises his head to look at me with a big smile.

He comes out of the booth.

Haruka Nanami: Senpai! That was so good!

As I run up to him, he embraces me and spins me around.

Ai Mikaze: Did the recording go well? I’ll give this song to you. It’s a special version just for you.

Haruka Nanami: Thank you!

Just like that, we completed our song for the Song Festival.

It’s the day of the Song Festival.

Rehearsal has finished, so we’re doing some final checks in the dressing room.

Haruka Nanami: …Hm? Come in!

Syo Kurusu: Yahoo—! We came to cheer you on!

I open the door and suddenly find Syo-kun and Shinomiya-san before me.

Haruka Nanami: Ooh, it’s you two! Thank you for coming!

Shinomiya-san takes my hand and swings it up and down.

Natsuki Shinomiya: Good morning! We watched the rehearsal! Both the song and the vocals were wonderful!

Syo Kurusu: Right! With that song, victory is certain!

Ai Mikaze: No, there’s still some room for improvement! I’ll give 100% on the real take.

I want to carefully express a sense of translucence and heartrending. I should be able to convey a variety of emotions.

Syo Kurusu: Ai… you….

After Mikaze-senpai found out about his time limit, he thought about it for a while and decided to tell those two right before the Song Festival.

“Since the two of them would be shocked if I were to suddenly disappear.”

That’s the thought he shared with me.

They were completely shocked, but once they calmed down they continued treating him like always.

Syo Kurusu: I get it… Ai, you’re already a real human.

Ai Mikaze: I can never become fully human. But that’s fine because I’m me. I’m Ai Mikaze.

Natsuki Shinomiya: Yes, that’s right! Ai-chan is Ai-chan and our dear senpai!!

Ai Mikaze: Geez, are you sure you got it?

“Of course~” Shinomiya-san replies with a smile.

Syo Kurusu: You seem to be in good physical condition, so that’s a relief. We’ll be cheering you on from the audience, so give it your best! ‘Kay?

Ai Mikaze: As my juniors, you don’t have to tell me that. I’ll do my best, so it’ll be fine.

Natsuki Shinomiya: Hehe, Ai-chan’s so cute when he‘s flustered. For Ai-chan’s victory, I’ll also support you. Like this~ huuug!!

Shinomiya-san hugs Mikaze-senpai tightly.

Ai Mikaze: Wait…! Natsuki! This isn’t really supporting anything!

Mikaze-senpai utters his complaint but stays in Shinomiya-san’s embrace.

I’m glad that these two came for a number of reasons.

Mikaze-senpai throws me an offended look.

Ai Mikaze: Geez, what are you grinning about? Look, the show is about to start. Syo, do something!

Mikaze-senpai points at Shinomiya-san who’s still hugging him.

Syo Kurusu: Roger! Hey, come on Natsuki, let’s go!!

Syo-kun tugs on Shinomiya-san’s arm.

Natsuki Shinomiya: Okay…. See you, Ai-chan….

Shinomiya-san reluctantly lets go of Mikaze-senpai.

Natsuki Shinomiya: I pray for Ai-chan’s feelings to reach everyone in the audience.

Ai Mikaze: Yes…. Thank you.

Syo Kurusu: Well then, see ya at the award ceremony! And you take care too!!

Natsuki Shinomiya: Bye-bye, Ai-chan. See you later.

They leave smiling with big, waving hand gestures.The door to the dressing room closes silently.

Soon afterwards, the curtains open signaling the start of the Song Festival.

Chapter End

Keep Me Posted Day 6 Concluded S15.Ep:71-BMB44

@beebeesiims @colourfullsims @yooniesim @missmoodring @helloavocadooo @noir-pixels

Commentary below

I can't believe I'm feeling this way, maybe it's because I had a long weekend. Not to mention I spent way too much time trying to fix my whims the other day, but I'm losing steam. I'm ready for my guy to get hitched. Today I was too tired to go in-game, so this post is short. It concluded the house party and had I not been so busy I probably could've finished captioning and editing these handful of pics and included them with the previous post. Anyway, day 7 will be up shortly. I may press through and go in and play day 7 tonight, but I don't know if I'll get them edited and captioned. My thoughts and behind the scenes stuff. •I almost let the show go on when Noemy died from electrocution. •I also was about to wing the house party because I was tired of not being able to figure out what was hiding my whims. (I'm glad I found it though because it was also messing with the menu too.) •Draya and Quintons romance bar did not budge that was truly just a hook up. •When Noemy died their romance bar took a hit, and he started following after Zahara. I considered it could be a glitch because the game still thought Noemy was dead. •The next day it was like it never happened. Yet it must've because both Q and Noemy had fear of death moodlets. •The party made both Draya, Noemy, Trinity very flirty, but they were the ones I saw hitting the bar the most and I have basemental so they were legitimately drunk. •Draya really did autonomously go after him in the bathroom and asked to woohoo and he really gave her the dreaded hand. She had the embarrassed moodlet afterwards. Their green bar also slightly decreased. •Chanel really did walk off while Q was talking to her. •Quinton and Noemy technically woohoo'd but that was the animation they did. I did not choose that for them. It's as if he really wanted to wait and not be in front of the cameras with her. •Their romance is now past him and Zahara's.

To Touch Fate

Fandom: DC Comics, Batfam

Summary: Jason attempts to settle down in Southern Italy and live a civilian life.

Chapters: 1/?

Characters: Jason Todd, Original Character(s), Bruce Wayne, Terry McGinnis, Matt McGinnis

Relationships: Jason Todd/Original Character(s)

Additional Tags: Angst, Jason Todd-centric, Jason Todd is a Father, Terry McGinnis is Batman, Retirement, Future Fic, Major Original Character(s)

Chapter One: Springtime

Jason met the love of his life in Lecce, Italy, while he was in between missions. She'd walked out of the florist's with a small bunch of cornflowers and bluebells. She smelled of fresh flowers and citrus perfume. Jason sat in front of a fountain outside the shop, watching the sunset. She sat next to him, crossing her legs and nodding. Jason grinned as he held back his laugh. "Are you on holiday?" she asked in Italian. Jason nodded. "Then these are for you." She gave him the bouquet, and he looked over at her.

"Oh, I'm afraid I didn't get you anything," Jason joked. They shared a laugh, and he introduced himself. "Are you on holiday?"

She shook her head and threw a coin in the fountain. "I live here," she answered, "I'm Noemi. Are you an American boxer?"

Jason shook his head. "Not quite," he whispered. Noemi studied him with her dark yet welcoming eyes, and he stared back with a curiosity he hadn't felt in years. She didn't pry, and her stare felt more like an invitation than an intrusion. He reached over and dusted a loose seed of amaranth off her eyebrow with his thumb. "Sorry." She grabbed his hand and held his palm to her cheek. Before he could think, he kissed her. He pulled back and opened his mouth to apologize, but she kissed him back.

Jason hadn't entertained the thought of romance in so long, let alone the idea of a springtime romance in Italy. They pulled away and started laughing. "How long will you be in Lecce?" Noemi asked in English.

Jason found himself entranced by her gentle gaze. He started to notice the bits of grey in her hair. "Three days, maybe more," Jason whispered. His voice was far away.

"That just so happens to line up with my days off... Hopefully, you'll have time to go to dinner with me," Noemi suggested. He grinned. It'd been a while since Jason had been on a date, but she was so forward and captivating that he couldn't refuse.

He nodded, and they exchanged numbers. "What do you like to eat?" Jason asked.

"There's a small restaurant not far from here. My friend is the owner," Noemi whispered.

Jason stood up and took her hand. "Lead the way," Jason whispered. Noemi grinned, and they took a stroll down the brick-paved street. The street lights started to come on as it got darker and darker outside. "You're very straightforward, you know," Jason whispered. Noemi chuckled.

"I had a feeling that you didn't care much for small talk, and in my line of work, I find it's much easier to get straight to the point," Noemi replied. She swung Jason's hand back and forth as they walked.

Jason smiled. "What do you do?" Jason questioned.

"I'm a trauma surgeon," Noemi answered, "So, most of my relationships don't last... Mostly because surgery doesn't make for a good dinner conversation."

"Well, I'm not squeamish. I've seen everything in my line of work," Jason replied. She looked up at him.

"And what is that exactly?" Noemi questioned.

"I'm a bit of a vigilante in the states," Jason confessed. She grinned and chuckled. "What?" he laughed.

"It makes sense, but why would you tell me that?” she laughed. Jason shrugged and playfully bumped into her.

“I don’t know… I guess it doesn’t matter because you wouldn’t know who I was anyway,” Jason confessed.

She nodded and squeezed his hand as they approached the restaurant. “Before we go in, the owner will ask if you’re Tuscan. Even if you are, just say no,” Noemi warned, “If you’re salt-and-pepper now, you’ll be old and grey by the time we leave the restaurant.”

“Alright, and fair warning. I don’t drink much. I’ll probably have two glasses of whatever you’re having, but that’s as good as it gets,” Jason replied.

Noemi stopped in her tracks and made a joking expression of offense. “I would never get you drunk to make you divulge all your deepest darkest secrets,” Noemi whispered, “That’s what breakfast is for.”

Jason smirked. “We’ll see,” Jason whispered as he opened the door for her.

They were immediately greeted by a well-dressed older man. “Ahh! Principessa, how are you?” he asked as he kissed her cheek, and she returned the favor. He shook Jason’s hand. “Are you Tuscan?” the man questioned Jason, still holding onto his hand. Jason shook his head. Noemi whispered something in the man’s ear, and he nodded as he led them to a candlelit table. “Blanc sauvignon? And don’t worry about dinner. It’s on the house.”

“Yes, thank you,” Noemi whispered, and she ordered dinner for both of them. “Jason, do you have a preference for different kinds of pasta ?”

Jason shook his head and let her order while he unwrapped the breadsticks. She took one and took small bites after the man left. “So, is surgery your passion?” Jason questioned in English. Noemi chewed faster and shook her head.

“Actually, no. I wanted to be a sculptor,” Noemi answered, “I never planned on being a doctor, let alone a surgeon.”

“What changed things for you?” Jason asked.

Noemi waited for the wine to come to the table, and she poured their glasses. She took a sip of wine and a deep breath before whispering, “My parents were decapitated in front of me when I was a child.”

Jason set his wine glass down and looked at her, his expression pained as he asked, “How old were you?”

“I was seven,” Noemi whispered, “I know it sounds strange, but I-.”

“It doesn’t sound strange to me at all. I’m sorry about your parents,” Jason whispered. She took another sip of wine and closed her eyes.

“Sorry, I shouldn’t have brought it up… It's weird to tell someone I just met something so morbid,” Noemi apologized, “Have you ever been married?”

“No,” Jason replied, “And you don’t have to apologize. It’s just a shock. You seem so-.”

“If you say well-adjusted, I’m going to scream,” Noemi interrupted, and Jason laughed and shook his head.

“I was going to say un-traumatized,” Jason replied weakly. Noemi laughed at him and watched as he took a sip of wine. “I think we were meant to meet.”

Noemi raised her brow and poured more wine into her glass. “How so?” she asked.

“I can’t explain it, but it feels right… Like fate,” Jason whispered.

A waiter came with their food, and they both said thank you. Jason was pleasantly surprised by the way Noemi dug into her food. She looked at him and awkwardly finished chewing. “Open your mouth and close your eyes,” Noemi commanded as Jason ate his pasta. He looked into her eyes and raised his brow. “Trust me. Open your mouth and close your eyes.” Jason obeyed, and she spoon-fed him potatoes and octopus in broth. Jason chewed the food and opened his eyes.

Jason made a soft noise and took a sip of wine. “Oh, that’s good. What is it?” Jason questioned.

“It’s a Catalonian dish. Octopus stew,” Noemi replied, “Do you want more?”

“Sure,” Jason whispered. She blew on the spoon and gave him another bite. Noemi giggled, and he returned the favor by offering her a forkful of his seafood pasta. She accepted, and they both laughed.

They ate and talked for what felt like hours, and near the close of their meal, Jason finished his second glass of wine. He took a sip of water, grabbed his bouquet, and offered to walk her home because he wasn't ready to go to the hotel alone. Noemi held his hand as they left the restaurant, and she led him to her villa. When they arrived, they lingered, still talking as if neither one wanted to say goodbye. “Would you like to stay for breakfast?”

“Is this an invitation to spend the night?” Jason questioned. She rolled her eyes and took hold of his shirt as she led him into her home, but they didn’t make love. No. They fell asleep on a sectional in her living room while the tv played softly in the background. It was the best night of sleep he'd had in years. He wrapped his arms around her, holding her close. To Jason, Noemi was springtime.

Yuletide (a Lellinger OS)

Dear Noemi, dear @delphiis!

This season, I was your Secret Santa. I decided to go for your favourite German ski jumper duo Stephan Leyhe and Andreas Wellinger. I hope you will enjoy this little OS as much as I enjoyed writing it. As we are in 2024, I hope you had a wonderful holiday time. May 2024 treat you better than 2023 did.

Greetings: Bettina

----------

Andreas Wellinger and Stephan Leyhe were spending their little Christmas break together at or around home. They planned to visit the local Advent market on one of the days before Christmas. On a fine, cold and snowy Wednesday morning, Andreas asked his boyfriend if they could go for a little skiing on the nearby course. Stephan was a tiny bit hesitant about the sudden program change. However, after a little persuasion, he went for it. He was thinking. Maybe later, they would check out the market as well. He had asked his love. As an answer, he got only a maybe and a wink with a smirk.

They were skiing for an hour or maybe two. Since it was intense, both of them got tired. Andreas managed to overdo himself. He laid down the snow. He was wheezing for a few moments before Stephan picked him up. Stephan was a bit older, so he could be a momma hen sometimes. So, he embraced his love for long minutes. He did it until Andreas had enough strength in his feet to walk back to their car.

“Darling, how are you feeling?” Stephan asked.

“Better. I think we can go now.” Andreas answered with a faint smile, “I managed to make myself tired.”

“You did. Can we maybe go to the Christmas market? Maybe they have wonderful hot tea, glühwein or something that warms us up,” the older one suggested.

“Why not? I hope that they do.” Andreas replied, “Last year, they had amazing gingerbread hot chocolate. I hope that vendor is here this year as well. Maybe we could get a new mug for our Advent mug collection too.”

After the little chat on the skiing course, Andreas and Stephan went back to their car. They drove home first. Simply because the market was close to it. They decided to walk there. They decided to go hand in hand, as they found the pavement slippery. As they were heading there, they were chatting all the way through the 10-minute journey. They talked about their plans when they would be back at home. Andreas wanted to decorate the tree first and foremost, as they were slowly running out of time. Christmas was only a few days away.

As they arrived at the market, Stephan got inspired by seeing the many gingerbread houses. He wanted to try his hand at making one. He even told his idea to Andreas, who loved it. They quickly agreed on it. They almost never fought over silly things. Furthermore, they were always civil toward each other. It was something that formed the foundation of their relationship.

At the market, Stephan and Andreas spent long minutes finding the vendor with the delicious hot chocolate. Unfortunately, he wasn’t there this year. Andreas became blue. He wished he could have asked what was inside it. Stephan suggested recalling it from his memories. The young German remembered it containing cinnamon and some kind of alcohol that he couldn’t recall. It had given a nice kick to the hot drink.

“I am going to try and recreate it for you.” Stephan advised, “Maybe I will come up with something equally delicious for you. How does that sound?”

“Wonderful. What if we get some glühwein here this year?” Andreas smiled at his love.

“Okay. I have nothing against it.”

“Maybe they have this year’s mug.”

They headed to the first stand, where they sold glühwein. Stephan asked if the seller had the yearly mug. They did, and asked if they would like to have a hot drink in it. They said yes, but they only had one left. Not only that, but they didn’t mind it at all. Stephan was okay with getting his drink in a plastic cup. The older woman gladly served and handed Andreas the mug. The mug was a black and purple one with the silhouette of the town they lived in. They enjoyed their drink while chatting with the people around them. Some asked for photos. Some requested autographs. They gladly fulfilled every wish for the next few hours.

The night was still very young when they finished. Andreas and Stephan had spent almost 4 hours at the market. They didn’t intend to, but they had fun nonetheless. They grabbed the mug and left in the now-falling snow. So, the two Germans went home immediately. They walked carefully, as they didn’t want the newest mug to get damaged or break. They arrived home around 6. It was quite dark already. Andreas asked if Stephan wanted to make the gingerbread house for the Christmas table.

“It can wait.” Stephan smiled and said, “We have roughly 3 days left. Let me make your hot chocolate.”

Andreas thanked his love and went to their sitting area. He stood in the window and watched the falling snow. He was thinking of what the other one had decided to gift him this year. Likewise, he quickly realized the truth. Stephan slowly walked to him with the gingerbread hot chocolate. He handed Andreas his favourite mug. The young German thanked Stephan and took a sip. It was more delicious than the one at the market. He didn’t know why, yet he complimented the other one’s skills. At that moment, he realized something. As Stephan hugged him from behind, a small teardrop of happiness ran down his cheek.

“Are you crying?” Stephan asked Andreas, kissing his cheek. “Is everything alright?”

“Yes, my love. "I just realized something,” the young one answered. “This hot chocolate is more delicious than the one we had last year.”

“I am glad that you love it. I tried my best…”

“...and you succeeded. Thank you.”

The boys sat down on the sofa near their fireplace. Stephan wrapped Andreas in an embrace. He complimented his love for a long time. Andreas just blushed as an answer while enjoying the hot chocolate he had received earlier. He realized what Christmas was about. It wasn’t about the gifts someone was about to receive. It was something else. When Stephan asked what it meant, he simply answered:

“Christmas is not about the gifts. It is about being around people whom we love the most. I’ve already received the best gift when I met you for the first time. The best gift in my life is you.”

Noe Bodi Gameplay: Day 22, Part 1

This was a weird day for Noemy (@beebeesiims). Early in the morning she got a call notifying her of the upcoming #BecomingMrsBlackBurn2 Reunion Special and confirming that she'd be there.

A lot of the feelings she still had over that period of her life haven't been fully settled yet, because the second she got off the phone, she rushed to make an emergency appointment with her therapist ( Because In this world, therapists are available 24 hours a day.)

She didn't stay long, but she did get to vent and release some of those negative emotions she'd been feeling for a while.

Still came back morose, though.

Still had time to kill before her shift at work, so on a whim she decided to go to the movies.

And who should also be in the vicinity but one Pax Ramey (@theosconfessions)?

Obviously she had to say hi. They got along well enough to exchange numbers.

And then, who else should pass by but HIRO! (@sofft-neko-sims)

They all decided to go see the same movie together...

And Noemy and Hiro were initially having a blast!

And then another sim showed up. Kash Monet (@saruin)

And for some reason, she and Pax had the brilliant idea to stand during the movie!

Eventually she sat down, but Pax just felt more comfortable blocking other people's view, to Hiro and Noemy's dismay.

And the, randomly, the basegame townie Kalamainu'u Iona started taking out whatever anger she had on NOEMY!

Like, what?? All she did was exist!

Meanwhile, Hiro and Kash got to talking in the midst of all this mess...

And Noemy did not like that at all.

I think it's because Kash hadn't apologized for standing in front of the screen in the first place, but I digress.

Homegirl didn't even wait for the movie to end. She walked out, more stressed than when she walked in.

By that time, she had to go to work.

But when she returned, the smile on her face was RADIANT. I'm assuming the chance to work hard and see progress did something for her the early morning outing couldn't.

She treated herself to a nice lil bubble bath...

And then got a call from none other than KASH?????? Inviting her to the Humors and Hijinks Festival!!!!!

Despite their rocky start, Noemy was in a good enough mood to say yes and try again with this girl (who was lowkey just as much of a baddie as noemy so why shouldn't they team up and rule the world together?)

So THERE THEY WERE AT THE FESTIVAL...

Full of wonder and glee...

They rushed to the pranksters side and drank the potion together.

And suddenly it felt like they were starting over.

"Hi."

"Hi!"

And the night was still young. :)

NSB (Straud Legacy) Gen 9 Ep 60: Luigi Lawbourne, E-Sports Pro

The Story of a Family

---------------------------------------------

Noemi’s “Talk” had thrown Luigi for more of a loop than he’d realized while she was still in his arms. The idea that he wasn’t actually back in a committed relationship was an unwelcome distraction during his first “meet the pros” esports event as one of the starting line-up “pros” in question.

He did his best to put his personal issues aside as he cheerfully greeted his teammates and the random students there to show their stuff, settling down at a PC and turning his focus to the scuffle.

---------------------------------------------

This time around even Professor Silva had decided to get in on the fun. Their advisor had been an e-sports team captain in his own university days, but “powering through” untreated gamer’s thumb for a season had left him only able to play occasionally. The permanent damage he’d done to himself made him both very careful about injuries like the one which had sidelined Beau the previous season, and very excited for the special occasions he returned to the “field”.

Even playing carefully, his experience made him hard to beat, and Luigi offered him a hearty congratulations when he ended the match in 3rd place.

---------------------------------------------

Luigi stuck around after the match to build connections with prospective new fans and teammates: the main reason they held this event.

His first contact of the evening was a pretty girl with a shockingly close buzz cut. Luigi wasn’t one to throw stones, given his own choice to sport “army green” hair throughout his teens, but it certainly made her stand out! After learning her name, he asked Amaya if she was interested in e-sports.

Amaya surprised him by announcing she didn’t actually care that much but found it funny to see a room full of adults taking the game so seriously. Then she shocked him by leaning in for a sudden bold kiss. A stunned Luigi stared as she happily announced it her very own prize for “a job well done”.

---------------------------------------------

Luigi was a bit weirded out, but he had to admit, it had at least been a very pleasant surprise. She followed up by proposing that he “blow this popsicle stand and find someplace to get to know me better”, which he found immediately appealing, but also felt a lot like being unfaithful to Noemi.

He had to force himself to remember that they were supposed to be casual, not committed. Still, he did have a commitment to the team just then.

Luigi told Amaya he needed to stay and keep chatting with visitors and students, but they could exchange numbers and get together soon. She put his digits into her phone with a big smile and kissed the screen, replying “I can’t wait to see you again Hot Stuff” before skipping away.

---------------------------------------------

His teammates couldn’t help but witness the whole strange exchange and as a result Luigi got to endure his fair share of good-natured ribbing when the professor invited them all to dinner on him at Pepper’s pub afterwards as a thank you for making it a great campus event.

As they sat around, chatting about the fun they’d had and the prospects who might show up to tryouts over the break, Luigi tried to remember that his own prospects in the romance department were looking up.

He still held out hope that Noemi would eventually change her mind, but if not, he was excited to see if his unusual e-sports “meet and greet” might lead to the “happily ever after” that had thus far eluded him.

Forbidden love 8🟢

Leshy was on his way to return to his palace after a sermon. While he was walking, Kallamar stopped him halfway to his palace. He looked concerned.

“Can we talk for a bit, little brother?”

“Oh, sure. What is it big brother?”

He asked, Kallamar pulls him to the side.

“Listen, I understand that it’s been a long time since you’ve been back, but you have been acting strange…are you sure everything is alright?”

He asked. Leshy tries to avoid the conversation altogether.

“I’m fine, I just need some rest-“

“I understand but It’s been a whole month at this point! Your people are looking to you for guidance and enlightenment and your head is in the clouds…way more than usual! You nearly set yourself on fire with the sermon candle! What is going on?”

“Nothing! Everything is fine, I’m just recovering from my injury. Please I-“

Leshy tries to leave, but then runs into his older sibling, Shamura.

“Ah, Sha-Sha! I mean-“

Shamura was surprised. They can’t remember the last time one of the bishops called them that. Kallamar didn’t want to get in trouble. He was told not to speak sternly with Leshy until he was himself again. Shamura takes Leshy under his wing.

“It’s fine, I needed to speak to you anyway. You can go, Kallamar. I’ll speak to you later. ”

They said. Kallamar leaves. Now Leshy was with someone who he definitely didn’t want to upset. There was no real way for him to weasel his way out of this one. They walk along the path to Leshy’s palace. While they walk, Shamura speaks.

“So, lately you have been not yourself…do you want to talk about it? Your siblings are growing worried about you…and we need to talk about you entering my private study 2 days ago…”

Leshy sighed.

“I know…I’m sorry…I just…I wanted to see something…Mom…I just wanted to see her again…I barely knew who she was and-“

Shamura takes his hand. They squeezed it lovingly. They understand. He was the youngest to deal with all of this happening. He spent the least amount of time with Gaia, and they’re sure that the absence of Bishop Gaia has been a lot for him, including the sealing of his older sibling. It’s a lot for a child growing up. And now he’s an adult, he’s still dealing with it.

“Leshy, you were young when we sealed Gaia away…I can understand why you would seek out information about her. Is what I said not enough for you? Maybe you need a portrait to help you grieve?”

“N-No! That’s not it, I…”

Leshy didn’t know how to talk to them about this. If he mentions Noelle, she’ll get killed, but mentioning Gaia would get him in trouble with his siblings.

“You don’t have to explain yourself. I know that’s why you snuck in there. However, I’ve been hearing from the grapevine that your having…girl problems…”

Leshy’s normal green face turned bright red. Girl problems? Him? Had to be Heket, she’s the only one who would go back on her word if it was important. Unlike Kallamar…

“Sibling-“

“Now now, there is no shame in having girl problems! It explains a lot of your actions from the past few days. Why don’t you tell me about them? It will make you feel a lot better”

Leshy knew this gig. They wanted him to speak on this because it was hindering his work, however, Shamura has been known to help out. Maybe they could help if he watched what he said.

“Shamura…let’s say…hypothetically speaking, there is a girl I like”

“Oh?”

“And let’s say that she is now a refugee in our cult. But…she might be a person of interest…atleast her kind is…I want to protect her from all harm but I don’t know how. But…I like her a lot. Like a lot! She healed me from an awful attack from a beast. If it wasn’t for her, I would’ve died if it wasn’t for Noe-“

“Noe? Okay, we got some letters! Her name begins with Noe…Noeri? Noette? Noemi?”

They tried to figure out the name and watched as Leshy desperately tries to figure out an excuse. The last thing he needs is for them to find out where she is.

“I’m just messing with you, little brother. However, your hypothetical has a few problems. If we are talking about hypotheticals, let’s say this girl’s name is…Noemi…and let’s say she is a…Lamb”

Leshy’s body goes cold.

“If those were true, and let’s say you were hiding her in another cult, I’m sorry to say this little brother, but your gonna have to bring her to us to be executed”

Leshy was silent. Thankful that his Bandage covered his eyes so he couldn’t see his expression, but he was terrified.

“W-why?”

Shamura looked back at him. What does he mean why?

“My brother, have you forgot who gave you that injury in your eye?”

“It wasn’t the lambs or the other followers of him. They were innocent in all of this. Even if this is true …why?”

Shamura sighs.

“You have a soft heart, little brother, and I admire that. I understand why you are upset, so let me try to explain again why we can’t have them live.

Narinder has been trying to get someone to GET us. I don’t know why he insists on using lambs and sheep, but back then he had a plethora of them. I don’t know if he was using them from another cult or not, but that’s not important.

If he gets a hold of one of them, and a good one to be exact, there will be bloodshed. Our people’s blood and OUR blood to be exact. And if he is successful, the Clan that me and your Mother worked together to create will fall…and who knows what else Narinder will want…”

There was an uneasy silence between them. Then Shamura spoke morbidly.

“You’re not harboring a Lamb are you? Is your lady friend a lamb?”

Leshy was taken aback by their question.

“W-what part of hypothetical did you not understand, you know what? I’m leaving! I’m not telling you anymore of my lady friend!”

“Leshy-“

And he rushed off quickly, back to his palace. Shamura watched as he dashed off back to his palace. Silently, they worried.

“Did Leshy really bring a lamb behind our palace walls?”

They didn’t want to put a target on Leshy’s back, but he kept a mental note of what’s happening with him. They needed to speak to his siblings…

“I trust him…”

Shamura said, however, their trust has been waning after Narinder, but he refused to turn on his siblings. He promised Their wife that they wouldn’t turn on their siblings. They are like her children… unfortunately he already had to deal with one of them. They couldn’t fathom sealing another one.

Leshy returns back to the palace a lot later than he wanted. He skipped dinner and went straight to bed. The first thing he did was barricade his bedroom door and go and see Noelle.

“Noelle?”

He found Noelle. She was still trying to figure out everything she needed with the books they stole from Gaia’s study and fell asleep on the table. He pets her soft head not realizing that she was purring in her sleep.

“I wish I could protect you better.”

He said. Not realizing Gaia could hear him. She’s noticing their little budding romance.

“You’re not the only one.”

Gaia said. Then she thought of something

“…wait…MY CROWN! Why didn’t I think of this?!?”

“What are you thinking, Mom?”

“I cannot come through, my body cannot, BUT MY CROWN MIGHT!”
