W: We got a bevy of quick introductions just before boarding… And thus began the trip of a lifetime.
I don’t think anyone knew quite what to expect of this excursion of rich and famous along-side regular middle class shlubs like us.
In all of our planning and prep, not once did I consider how not to make a total fool of myself when face to face with some of the biggest players in SimBA and some of their posh equally famous significant others.
So far, we managed to stay clear of any major faux pas’ but in the back of my mind it really was only a matter of time.
Whit: So, I just turned around and left! Nope! *group laughter*
Dirk: How?! Like, what the actual—
Kareem: Whatchu mean, “how”? It’s Whit!
Daphne: I don’t appreciate your tone Reem!
Kareem: *charmingly smooth* I highly doubt that. *wink*
Whit: You do realize I can see you?
Kareem: It’s all love.
Dirk: *chuckling* Please, don’t be asses in front of our new friends? I beg of you—
Devon: Yes, their shenanigans are an acquired taste.
Penny: No worse than frat, I’m sure.
Devon: Eh…. *group laughter*
Daphne: That’s right! You’re sorority sisters! How fun!
Devon: *unamused* Yes. Just a barrel of laughs. *Daphne is taken aback*
Penny: *uncomfortably* We’ve had a lot of, um… fun, over the years.
Emilie: Yeah. No offense. It’s just… sisterhood… “is a very serious matter”. *the sorors start giggling*
Walker: Sorry. AKA joke.
Dirk: *smirk* You get used to them. *Devon elbows him affectionately*
Whit: No lie, I was shocked to find you were a sorority girl. Didn’t strike me as the type.
Penny: And what exactly is the type?
Obie: I’d tread carefully, my man…
Whit: I only meant… um, chipper…?
Kareem: Excitable!
Whit: Yes! Yes. Bubbly—
Kareem: Sociable—
Vanessa: *smugly* Vapid. *uncomfortable silence*
Emilie: Oh, hun, you forgot to tuck in your insecurity… *group snickers as Vanessa’s smile falters slightly* See, that’s why everyone needs sisters. They keep you from showing your whole ass, when all you intended was for one of us to kiss it…
I: We will be boarding, and officially on vacation.
W: I don’t—
I: *sigh* Matteo’s a terrible workaholic. As such he’s not allowed to talk shop once we’ve entered international airspace. *laughter*
O: What does he do?
I: He’s a sports agent. He represents about thirty-four percent of the talent on this trip, but his competitive nature won’t let him rest until he has them all. Vance, over there is his white whale.
O: Makes sense. It’s a miracle how the Llamas have shaped up since they signed Monahan.
I: Naturally, I have to reign him in or he’ll spend our entire vacation networking. It’s why, more often than not, I try to avoid these trips when Dirk asks. He’s like my niece on a sugar high. *laughter*
W: So, what made you come this year?
I: Why, you all, of course! *conspiratorially* I couldn’t leave my beloved Devon to fend off those harpies on her own.
P: Watcher, yes! What’s the deal? Dev gets disgruntled whenever the topic comes up. Who are we avoiding?
I: Well, not everyone is here yet. But I think it’s safe to say they’re all vipers in one way or another. Well, the wifey crew is. The boys are mostly himbos with a few charmers and low-key intellectuals thrown in for good measure.
W: *giggling* Tell us what you really think! *laughter*
I: I exaggerate, of course. But not by much. Vance’s wife, Vanessa, she’s the queen bee. And that’s with a capital “b”. She’s cool and calculating. Married Vance, became a brand. She’s a handful, and he takes himself way too seriously. Hence the suit. They’re made for each other. Then there’s Daphne and Whit. They—
Dirk’s Crew: LEE!!!
O: Finally, another familiar face.
I: Oh, you know Drew?
W: We’ve met. What are your thoughts on him?
I: *airily* Personally, I like him.
P: High praise…
I: Hey, I give credit where it’s due. Drew is a decent guy. So is Kareem, over there. Don’t get me wrong, everyone in here isn’t complete evil. It’s just that some’s dark-sides outweigh their light.
