Keely didn’t get much of a chance to talk to him after that. The two of them were quickly swept up by the room. Everyone eager to meet the newcomers and share their own stories.

Jesse ended up deep in conversation with Aiden, who, it turned out, was a trans man like him. Meanwhile, Keely found herself chatting with Jade, Celese, and Gina.

Maya and Kale seemed nice too, though significantly more focused on the free pizza.

Kale: So do you know the gender yet? Dahlia: We have it in an envelope at home. We're waiting for the shower to open it. Cam: Val you're coming to the shower right buddy? Baby Cordie needs her Uncie Val there!

Kale: So it's a girl? Dahlia: Cam's hoping for a little girl. Cam: I'm m a n i f e s t i n g. Dahlia: If it's a girl we're planning on naming her after his late mother. To honor her. Cam: And Cordelia is a very pretty name. For a very beautiful baby giiiirl ~ Dahlia: If it is a giiiirl ~

Cam: Something wrong best friend? Val: I need to make a quick call.

There was one noticeable downside to having his heart completely restarted by a single look. It was now threatening to beat itself right out of his chest, climb up his throat, and come out his ears. Everyone was happy, everyone had gotten what they wanted. And he was just their punchline. Holding back hot tears that threatened to break free at any moment, Val mounted the stairs as quickly as he could without raising suspicion. He needed to be anywhere but here - And no one needed to watch what happened next.

Kale: So what if it's a boy? Cam: Uhhh - Leaf. Dahlia: Cameron we are not naming the baby after the car.

Keely had to mentally check herself as she arrived at her first meet-up at Celeste’s.

Despite her best efforts, a few uncomfortable stereotypes had crept up on her. She caught herself wondering what a room full of trans people would look like, and immediately hated that her brain had gone there.

To her surprise, the room was just full of… people.

Different ages, different styles, some with partners, some alone. Just ordinary lives happening in one place.

And somehow, that was the most comforting thing of all.

The second time he saw him, it was like being hit by lightning.

Valerian Plott did not enjoy large family gatherings. As soon as he aged up, all the weight and expectations of being a legacy heir snapped off from the shitty rope they had been hanging, fell three stories like a cartoon piano, and knocked him flat on his ass. He had attended Foxbury right out of high school - graduated from the engineering program with honors, and with a generous helping of nepotism, easily secured a modest position at a highly regarded government facility that technically didn't exist. It had only taken him a few years to run through his list of goals. And after the final checkmark had been carefully penned in it's little box, he turned the whole thing over and found - nothing. Just a blank sheet of paper. Every legacy had it's own rules. His were often nebulous, slapdash, and full of bees, but they all had one thing in common: An heir, the last thing on his to do list. And save for his youngest sibling, every sim in Val's life took immense pleasure in reminding him every chance they had.

Dahlia: They moved kinda fast don't you think? They've barely dated a whole year. Kale: Jealous she's catching up to you?

Dahlia: Pfft, sure. Call me when she starts growing another sim inside her. Kale: Always a competition with you two, isn't it?

Where did the great wonderschlong go anyway?

Dahlia: He ran to the kitchen to see if they had anything at this dumb party with an alcohol content below 20%. Kale: Good man. Still a lil' freak, but he takes care of you. Dahlia: Thanks. Y'know, you both should come hang out with us more often. We could do a game night ~ Kale: Mmm Hard Pass.

Kale: I don't know, maybe she is pregnant. Maybe MCCC finally glitched and this one stuck. Dahlia: But she wouldn't be drinking? Kale: Technically I haven't seen her drink yet - and doesn't she look sorta I dunno, glowy? Dahlia: I think that's happiness Kale. Kale: Or raw unfiltered attention.

Cam: Woah - Poppy's pregnant? No way. Kale: It's currently inconclusive. Dahlia: Poppy is not pregnant.

Alright Chuckleheads, time for the Death part of the Life and Death Gameplay. You all know the plan- finish off the Reaper Rewards with a bang and use the Ambrosia to bring back Townie Dave.

Or at least, that's what 𝙄 𝙩𝙝𝙤𝙪𝙜𝙝𝙩 was happening.

Because the thing is- 𝙆𝙖𝙡𝙚 𝙥𝙡𝙖𝙮𝙚𝙙 𝙢𝙚 𝙩𝙤𝙤. When our sweet tray townie asked them to resume their romantic relationship- and fulfill their side of the bargain, with a full romance and friendship bar, they said-

I'm sorry Dave. 𝘐'𝘮 𝘢𝘧𝘳𝘢𝘪𝘥 𝘐 𝘤𝘢𝘯'𝘵 𝘥𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵.

?: So that's it. That's how it ends? Kale: Are you surprised?

Val: It just feels unnaturally cruel. Kale: Really? Coming from you? Alright brother, fine. You can play judge and jury all you want- Val: -but I'm no executioner. Kale: No. I suppose you aren't, are you?

Kale: Dave was sweet. He served a purpose, and I did enjoy pulling one over on the watcher. Val: So why did you do it? Why go to all that trouble? Kale: Some people knit, some people garden. - Some people trick the watcher and feed townies to cowplants. We just have different hobbies.

Kale: But there is something I need to tell you. When I was looking at the Reapers list, there was a name near the top- and I thought you might appreciate the warning. Val: Are you- afraid?

Kale: Do you want the warning or not dickweed? Val: Fine. Yes. 𝘖𝘬𝘢𝘺. What's this list about then? Kale: It's a list of sims that are on the chopping block, like Father Winter's list but you're not naughty or nice, you've just been fated for death. Val: And did you check it twic- Kale: It's 𝘗𝘰𝘱𝘱𝘺. You asshole. Poppy was at the top of the list.

Val: And what exactly am I supposed to do about it? Kale: Something's coming. I don't know what exactly, but it's something big, something final. And I'm guessing you're the only one that's going to have the chance to do anything about it.

So enjoy your unplayed little beach episode while you can-

Kale: - Because when those final hours hit, I'm going to need you to buck up, shut up- and save my sister.

And you already know brother, I make a far better friend than I do an enemy.

Val: Right.

WE DID IT! -ish

I only have a few unfinished quests and honestly ending on the cowplant berry reward feels very poetic.

I've never had a sim trick me before so that was crazy. RIP Townie Dave, you didn't deserve that. I had so much fun, thanks for letting me spam some pure raw gameplay at you!

Kale Plott - who recently left Henford, leaving a string of unsolved townie murders behind- has moved to Ravenwood!

They're currently trying out they/them pronouns, and they brought along their dog Miss Honey and the corpse of Milkshake Two! They also joined the undertaker career- it just felt right.

They live in a set of faux apartments cause I guess Get Rentin' is still bugged, so I just decided to play everyone. Roomies Assemble!!

Cleo and Sebastian Bennett are a young artistic couple trying to take care of their new baby Luna while trying to make enough money from their passions to make ends meet. They're a younger version of the Bennetts from @bunbeeplays' legacy!

Windy Willowonk is a plant sim that found herself re-potted in Ravenwood after her old college roomie agreed to let her crash on the couch! Score! And Toni Hoyt is an aspiring children's book writer with one less couch. Windy is by @shoobysims and Toni is by @trash-llama!

And Svetlana Dalca is the owner of the apartments, she's an old chainsmoking Vampire that loves her baby goat and antique skull collection. Svetlana is from @doctorsimcraft!

Svetlana's Bucket List is very demure, very mindful. She's not like other ex-Mobwife Vampire Landlords. 😌

And I had Kale generate a bucket list and I uh- I may have some concerns.

Time to find my lil sociopath love i guess

✅ Night time Jogged ✅ Weed Garden Planted ✅ Grim Befriended ✅ Baby Be-Fed… ed

Cleo found a fresh cowplant berry while exploring the crypts, which means things are about to get so much worse 😀

Cam: Well it looks like you're next roomie! Time to hop aboard the old baby train. Choo Choo! Kale: I don't think Val can get pregnant Cam. Dahlia: I don't know, I think Hedy could do it. Cam: We could have two shotgun weddings!

Cam: Come on bestie it could be fun! Dahlia: They could even reuse some of the old decorations from our wedding! Kale: I'm pretty sure Poppy would kill all of us, set our bodies on fire, and sell the tapes to TMZ.

Cam: Ouch. But probably. How did those two bag each other anyway? Dahlia: The magazine right?

Kale: She wrote a piece on him about the rise of gamer fashion for the magazine she works at with Jackie. I guess they just clicked. Dahlia: I didn't know gamers had fashion - I thought their girlfriends dressed them. Cam: Please Val looks great! He's practically glowing. Dahlia: Cameron!!

Dahlia: He's just excited. We have some big news of our own to share. Kale: Twins? Wait- Triplets?!

Dahlia: Gosh! Imagine! No, we're leasing a new car. Cam is very excited. Cameron: It's a first generation Nissan Leaf! "Innovation that Excites" And it's completely electric! Dahlia: It will be a great little family car.

Dahlia: You were looking for a new car right Val? Cam: We could probably get you a deal - we could be leaf bros! Go driving together! Anywhere between 149 to 212 miles on a single charge!

Val: What about him? Kale: Who, Chad? Val: Yeah. Cam: I don't really know if he's leaf bro material…

Kale: Chad's Poppy's Maid of Honor - they're still working out the official title. His father insisted that he host the engagement party here. Cam: You know that explains a lot about why we're not in a massive mansion right now.

Kale: I think he's got some sort of government office gig. His dad practically handed it to him after he barely graduated high school.

I know you're not exactly friends, but you two probably have more in common than you think.

Cam: Well I bet he wasn't his roommate at Foxbury! Kale: Yes, and I also would bet he never slept with our sister in same said dorm room. Dahlia: We put a sock on the door. Kale: Before or after you didn't double-check to make sure he wasn't already in bed asleep?

Cam: How do you know all this stuff anyway? Kale: You'd be surprised at how many things you can glean by shutting up and listening to something other than Americana.

Valerian had known that there was a non-zero chance that coming to this party tonight meant they were bound to run into each other at some point. And after a cocktail of anxiety medication, antidepressants, and actual alcohol - Val was perfectly happy to admire him from afar. Chad was in the middle of the spotlight, on a brightly lit stage as Val watched from the audience quietly with everyone else. He was different. There was a lightness to him, a natural real happiness. Like nothing had ever troubled him in his life. It was beautiful. But then again, he had always been beautiful behind the mask. And when the man on the stage took a bow, finally noticing the dried out husk of a boy he had once known - now sitting all alone in the crowd staring back at him; Valerian felt a hundred volts of electricity hit him squarely in the chest. And after the lightning, so followed the thunder.
