SOLO DATE/HANG: Margot and Yara

As the night approached steadily, Yara had beard of a rather nice restaurant to get some delicious food. Reaching out to Margot, the two went out for a lovely night that seemed to be dripping with romantic tension. A few drinks, some delicious pasta, and of course some flirting from Margot-- which Yara seemed to enjoy.

Marikit "Mari" Bautista

for @ceejayssss's millennial complex bachelorette challenge 😅 her backstory is after the cut because it's too long lol am sorry

Marikit, known to her friends as Mari, grew up near the beaches of Sulani. She was the oldest of three children and would joke to her friends that she was "the lab rat" of the family. Fortunately, Mari was a gifted child. Her mother, a quintessential tiger mom, made her join every competition she possibly could -- from spelling bees to math-triathlons to talent shows to classroom politics, you name it! Funnily enough, she always excelled at them, too. She coasted through life with good grades, multiple awards, and, despite being an introvert, a decent amount of friends. But even with all of these, Mari felt average, almost invisible. She didn't know who she was outside of her books and certificates. Her hometown, comforting as it was, kept feeling smaller and smaller.

When uni applications rolled around, Mari decided it was time for a change. She picked the farthest university there was - Britechester University - to study Language and Literature. She wanted to be a writer. In uni, she realized that there were a lot of bright young people, maybe even brighter than her, around. She developed a creeping suspicion that, despite what her parents and childhood mentors told her, she wasn't all that special. On the flip side, uni also opened her up to a new and exciting world of juice and keg parties. She went out every night and met many different people. She was widening her horizons, she said. She bounced from relationship to relationship, fling to fling, and she tried almost all mostly-legal substances. She wanted to experience it all! A term shy of graduating, for no particular reason, she packed up her bags and moved again. Her college-town felt too small, too.

After a few years of jumping from place to place, Mari is now 25 and looking to put down some roots. She's not entirely sure what she wants to do with her life but for now she works as a public relations coordinator in San Myshuno. If she feels like a basic bitch, it's because she's already trying to clean up her act (for the most part). She's slow to warm up to people but with three tequila shots in she might just tell you about that one time she almost got herself into an orgy (it's more comedic than it sounds). And, while she says she wants a serious and committed relationship, her non-committal nature leads to her feeling suffocated in most relationships. All in all, Mari is just a confused millennial on her way to finding out what kind of person she actually wants to be.

Other info about Mari

Zodiac Sign: Pisces, MBTI: INFP

Traits:

Non-committal: Mari jokes that being a Pisces has given her the attention span of a fish. She's not entirely wrong, as she's constantly jumping from one interest to another. Even though she thinks of herself as a hopeless romantic, she also gets tired of romantic partners fairly quickly. She thinks that she just needs to meet the right person, but tbh sometimes she wonders if she's just saying that to console herself.

Perfectionist: a direct result of growing up as an over-achiever is that Mari has too-high standards for herself without the actual motivation to see things through. She does, however, do a really good job once she hyperfixates on something.

Jealous: her competitive edge means she's always lowkey looking to outshine others. She thinks it's because her parents used to always compare her to other kids. It's a trait she's trying to outgrow as it only leads to petty competition and it's made her a sore loser in more than one occasion. Strangely enough though, she also feels bad when people lose to her.

Erratic: Probably a major factor in Mari's misadventures is how fast and intense her emotions change. Most people wouldn't expect it from her, but she's done a lot of shady things lol

Movie Buff: Mari prides herself in her extensive knowledge of horror movies. She's continuously adding to her horror movie watchlist and can't stand people who say "I don't really like watching movies".

Skills: She's picked up a lot of skills over the years in an effort to discover what she wants to be and what she's good at. She also tried out baking, gardening and yoga just for the 'gram.

Random facts

Mari makes playlists based on "if my life was a movie, what scene would this song be the background to". Her latest playlist is titled "Songs for when you smoke up with a boy in his apartment and there's very clearly tension there but both of you are waiting for the other to make a move".

She mostly only wears neutrals (particularly, black or white), but all her non-clothing items are in pink. If she's buying bedsheets, desk chairs, or sticky notes, it's most likely gonna be in pink.

~ wake up babe , new dreamboat just dropped ~

names : lore // opulence 

pronouns : shey // femme // sweetheart

age : 22

traits : activist , brave , dance machine , girly girl , mischievous

aspiration : party animal

career : criminal

“be gay , do crime , fucking party” is the motto for this quing of chaotic merriment ~ having grown up on the “wrong side of the tracks” in the port of industrial evergreen harbor , this bighearted non-binary lesbian dances to the beat of sweetheart’s own platform boot-stomp , making trouble and acting up for those most impacted by inequality in femme’s community . opulence isn’t afraid to get hands dirty to provide for and protect femme’s loved ones , and shey does it all while looking cute for the busted security cameras ~ dressing in flamboyant punk ‘fits with pretty details is as much self-care as it is a form of protest for lore , and shey enjoys playing dress up / stylist with anyone who will participate . also on shey’s list of hobbies is playing a harmless prank or two on unsuspecting victims to keep things interesting in between nights out partying . sweetheart’s most recent prank is actually the reason femme is applying to stay at the millennial complex now ~ but it’s not the only reason . opulence is eager for a much-needed change of pace after becoming a little too recognizable to the locals who side with law enforcement . shey hopes to be able to stay long enough for the heat to die down , and maybe - just maybe - meet some new comrades along the way . . . preferably a few who can cook well so it’ll taste gourmet when they all feast on the rich ~ 😘✌🏾💞

random facts :

very open to dating multiple sims but is not currently seeing anyone

raised by free-spirited aunt + uncles in a self-sustained communal living collective founded by their poly family and far-travelled friends

middle born of a set of triplets - also the only fraternal sib ; the other two are identical twins (and yes , middle child syndrome even effects you when you’re all born on the same day - feed me attention thx ~)

nominated all of the sibs for different BC challenges on a dare and all of them have made bets on how far each one will get - sweetheart has already won one of the bets when petrichor didn’t make it in lol

(even though shey won the bet , shey was actually really hoping that their younger-by-three-minutes sibling would have a chance to get out of his little cocoon and enjoy a more lush scenery , but ssshhh)

will 1000000% liberate makeup , accessories and toiletries just for a cute night out with the girlies and / or to distribute a bit of glitter joy to the community so the fam can “look presentable” and get paid

has only taken enough community college classes to make femme a more competent criminal DIYer + for access to basic services during rough months when resources at home were stretched to the limit

loves distant travel and learning new things from lived experiences - train hopping is a favored hobby , and if lore wasn’t convinced that shey would be thrown to the sea , a stowaway trip on cargo ships ~

Geneva Romero

hiiii so here's my entry for @ceejayssss's millenial complex bachelorette & story challenge!

aspiration: painter extraordinaire

a little more about geneva's life...

Geneva Romero has finally come to the part of her life where they have to go out into the world and be who they truly are, and on their own. When she saw the ad for this apartment complex, she knew it was finally the right time to leave grandma's cottage; where they had been living for the past few months. Her father had kicked them out after they turned 21 since she came out as non-binary (and as pansexual a little while before that). Grandma had always been supportive and caring, especially since Geneva's mom passed away when she was still a child. They had a pretty rough start in life, but all of that grief, overall sadness, and anger (mostly towards her dad) have been channeled into their art, which has become a growing passion of hers. Geneva is ready to give their all in order to get a chance at a better life now that she is embarking into adulthood, and she won't back down from a challenge! She may get overwhelmed by times, but they are truly excited to move to this new city, make new friends and maybe flirt with some new faces too, who knows what she's getting herself into?

skills

painting: level 3

cooking: level 2 (as a vegetarian, she's had some practice but is definitely no chef!)

DAY TEN: Afternoon

As Luca and Ian returned back to the apartment complex after their hang, nearly everyone came out to experience their first snow! The weather is finally getting colder...

[seajaysims]

SOLO DATE/HANG: Frankie and Kai

Kai had most of the day off, so Frankie decided to invite her to one of her favorite spots in San Myshuno. While Kai went to enjoy the sweet metal that was playing on the roof, Frankie took a moment to swipe something of note to put in her room. Once the two danced for a bit, Frankie asked if she could take some pics of Kai for her assignment for work. Once the two would finish their night of fun, they’ made their way home.
