VeronaHills, Round Twenty Six: Shikibu

In her nine to five, Kestrel's duty was to keep her eyes on the net.

Intelligence gathering on certain subsections of the world wide web was crucial to act preventatively against antisocial behaviour, rather than waiting at the bottom of the cliff with the redundant ambulance. Kestrel understood this well, having worked her way up in her government role with her faerie status giving her an edge on societal response to cultural difference. She'd delivered many a PowerPoint on the changing landscape of Riverblossom Hills since the fae migration from the forest; this had impressed the higher-ups enough to give her her own task force and a blank cheque to run surveillance on those with anti-fae sentiment. So, on her days off, Kestrel liked to look to the stars to remind herself - no matter how crazy the world was getting, and how bad things could seem, there was a whole universe out there.

Downstairs, Maria was having a gathering to watch a particularly important football game. Kestrel didn't know too much about it but was glad her girlfriend felt comfortable enough in her new home to enjoy her hobby with others. It also helped to know there was a faerie and an elvin human in attendance - Kestrel decided to wrap up her stargazing for the moment to pop down and introduce herself.

Community would be the saving grace of humanity.

Ivan was soon promoted to a position in the kitchen, so he decided to hone his culinary skills. However, the transition from theory to practice seemed ill-timed…

Marina adjusted to the move like a champ, bringing home excellent grades.

Fun was had. Longtime friends Hi and Misty retreated upstairs to hog Marina’s console, while Artie gave Marina advice (which, knowing his family situation, I personally wouldn't follow).

Forrest, Ivan, and Marina were settling in their new home by @oceansmotion.

Forrest has fulfilled his lifetime goal of mastering all skills—what comes next?

Ivan had a very Family sim-esque answer for him.

Ivan got started in the culinary career as a waiter. He saw this as a transitory position—he’d move on to something else once he got this “adult life” thing figured out! One step at a time, and for the time being, he wanted to focus on his husband and daughter.

Forrest and Ivan tied the knot.

I chose to keep Forrest's last name: though Forrest Doe is a beautiful name, Shores has better prospective puns for their descendants.
