Hart, Day 19, Part 2

Val: How was work?

Lola: It was good. I just wish there were more hours in the day! I want more time with you and the kids, and more time to study to further my career...

There are limited places to woohoo in town.

Val has a fondness for this photobooth, anyway.

Val: Shall we buy it?

Lola: I don't know - I'm not sure pink's my colour...

And then they woohooed again in the car!

Date night for Val and Lola!

He had date/woohoo wants all day, but I figured he'd most likely wait for her to come home from work, rather than try and see someone else. It's not like he's got anyone else to date, anyway, unless he went out to meet one of the new townies.

Curious, Vidcund and Mary, Day 20, Part 3

Vidcund: Hey, love I'm home- Are you okay?

Mary: No!

Vidcund: Hey, what's wrong? I've got you, it's okay...

Mary: Olive killed herself and now no one's going to get any justice! Ophelia's just so conflicted and confused... Osiris just shut right down when Dad told him... Tank cried... I've never seen him cry before... I had to leave so I didn't cry too...

Mary: And I'm pregnant! Which is probably why I'm so emotional, but-

Vidcund: You're pregnant? That's wonderful!

Mary: Is it? Of course, I would love another baby, but... we've got so much debt and I don't know how we're going to afford a baby and we've got rid of all the baby stuff, and where are we even going to put another baby, and-

Vidcund: Hey. Shh. C'mere. We'll make it work. It is happy news. You are a wonderful mother-

Mary: Huh.

Vidcund: You are! This baby is already so lucky to have you as a mother. We'll shift the debt eventually, but we shouldn't let us stop living our lives. I love you, Mary. We'll make it work.

Alpha House, Day 19, Part 15

Buck and Rocky came home from their Finals at 6am. I think Buck's grade bar was already full before his semester started from all the time he spent here as a visitor studying after he'd finished his last semester.

Given all the "who-am-I-if-not-April-the-cashier" stuff she's got going on right now, this suddenly seemed like an excellent idea.

I rolled and got Pleasure, then gave her Fortune (her old aspiration) as a secondary. We'll see what happens...

I started to close her popups without thinking about it, but she got an A+ too.

Alpha House, Day 19, Part 13

Now Luke's graduated too!

He's friends with both Dove (who hates Goldie for some inexplicable reason) and Pearl (who had beef with Virginia at Goldie's party earlier) but he decides against inviting either of them.

Luke's grad party is quieter than Goldie's. It didn't start until late, so all his housemates went to bed during it and then got up to go to Finals before it finished.

Alpha House, Day 19, Part 12

Rocky: You alright, mate? You've barely said two words all morning.

Buck: I'm fine! Why's everyone so obsessed with whether I'm okay?

Rocky: Whoa...

Buck: I'm serious! I'm fine!

Rocky: Okay, cool... I was just asking.

Buck: Well don't!

April woke up with a want to write her term paper, so she did.

Rocky: Have you talked to Buck much since he moved in? I asked if he was alright earlier and he about bit my head off!

This is playing, apparently...

April: I heard you went off at Rocky earlier...

Buck: Yeah... I don't know why I reacted like that.

April: Because you're stressed, maybe...?

Buck: No, I mean... I shouldn't have... what's wrong with me?

April: Nothing's wrong with you. You're just... adjusting.

Buck: ... Do you think I should call Tank?

April: ... Do you want to?

Buck: I don't know... I guess I miss him...

April: Sounds like a pretty good reason to call someone.

Buck: Hey, Tank... is this a bad time?

Tank: Nope! Except it means Scot has to do the dishes-

Scot: *distant* How do you figure that? ... Hi, Buck.

Buck: Hi.

Tank: Because if you do the dishes and I talk to Buck, then we'll both be ready to watch the next episode sooner.

Buck: Oh, were you watching something? We don't have to talk now, I-

Tank: Nah, we agreed we'd get the dishes done before we start another episode. Go on, Captain.

Scot: *distant* Ugh! ... Bye, Buck.

Buck: Bye...

Tank: Right, I'm all yours, Buck. You okay? Had something you wanted to talk about?

Buck: Not really. Just... checking in. I miss you.

Tank: Miss you too, kiddo. What you been up to today?

Alpha House, Day 19, Part 11

And off she goes!

(I thought she'd want to take her picture with Luke or Candy, but no, Rocky.)

Alpha House, Day 19, Part 10

I swear that keyboard always needs tuning! I know it's cloned from the piano but they should've taken that feature out!

Time for Goldie's grad party!

Jasper thinks Johnny's mean for pretending to throw the stick.

It's probably a good think Luke's graduating this semester - he and April triple bolt!

Goldie: Why are you two making such a fuss? There's pretzels right there!

Luke tries to form a relationship with his soon-to-be father-in-law. It appears to be an uphill battle.

Virginia: What's your problem? He's my fiance! You're just a side-piece. If anyone should be doing any shoving here, it should be me!

Goldie spent most of the party with her big sister. She wishes they were living together again for more than just one night!

At Alpha House, it was time for Goldie's grad party!

Gamma House, Day 19, Part 9

So Woody bought a car!

Jill: What kind of dog do you want, do you think?

River: A big one. I've always loved the idea of a golden retriever, but we'll have to see what they've got.

River: Hi, Inge. Do you want to be my doggy?

Both boys spent a good chunk of their college funds tonight - Woody on a car he could woohoo his fiancee in, River on a golden retriever named Inge and all the stuff she needs.
