Newson/Monty/Capp- Freshman Year.

 

Here we are at La Fiesta Tech in Veronaville and the YA's have just come back from their first class. It's Romeo & Mercutio Monty, Tybalt & Miranda Capp (she- not in photo) and Gavin & Ginger Newson.

Interesting that in this 9 room dorm at least 2 of the npc's are already Secret Society members!

Here's Miranda joining the Newson's and her Cousin Tybalt for dinner.

ah, the first fight begins... :D

That's Tybalt 2- Romeo 0 (Romeo's first 'loss' was at the Newson's house just recently).

Thankfully most everyone is generally friendly (to Strangers anyway) and Ginger greeted Francis J Worthington III as he came over to welcome them to Campus.

oh dear Romeo, why the tears?

He's feeling his sibling's pain no doubt.

That's Tybalt 1- Mercutio 0

Romeo knew if he was ever going to beat Tybalt in a fight he needed to be superfit! 

He is now, but still has a lot of body skills to get to match Tybalt's full quota.

Mercutio is a friendly guy and made 5 best friends in a short space of time.

As the brother's were having a late supper a Secret Society member came for Gavin.

He was the first to join the LFT Society.

He played some pool, 

made some new friends, 

and used the bonus career rewards that he found on the lot. This one to gain a cleaning skill.

Another day and Gavin is yelled at by the Campus Coach to get himself in shape!

Something Romeo could do with doing, to be fair.

That's Tybalt 3- Romeo 0 just incase you're keeping score. :D

Everyone finished the first half of the Year with great grades and all on the Dean's list.

They all chose a Major based on their respective Lifetime Wants. Gavin's is Economics which he hopes will help him to become a Business Tycoon one day.

He made a new best friend and he is Big Sim on Campus thanks to his recent visit to the Secret Society lot.

As Romeo, Mercutio and Ginger return from class Mercutio has a surprise for Ginger...

Brrrr! A very cold water balloon!

That happy moment was broken up as soon as Tybalt finished class as he immediately went all in and attacked Mercutio.

That's Tybalt 2- Mercutio 0.

 Juliette Capp & family are invited over later where Romeo and Mercutio do their best to talk to Consort.

Mostly though Romeo and Juliette goof about taking silly photos.

The next day after classes saw the group go on an outing where when left to their own devices Mercutio & Miranda fall in love...

Ginger too throws pink hearts Tybalt's way...

they share a first kiss,

and burgers.

Merc & Miranda share so much more... 

Later on back at the dorm it's Romeo's turn to look confused.

He is inducted into the LFT Society and spent most of his time here in the garden room working on his creativity.

Romeo is home in time to have a quick shower and has his workout interrupted when Miranda took them all to the Mirage Shopping Centre on campus...

Of course they'd barely arrived and Tybalt launched an attack on Mercutio.

That's Tybalt 3- Mercutio 0.

They finally get indoors and Romeo scoped the room to find this young lady very attractive.

Miranda chose a new outfit more suited for the Summer/Spring seasons this Uni is set at.

You turn your back for one minute and it's Romeo and Tybalt fighting this time....

That's Tybalt 4- Romeo 0

Romeo doesn't care, he will seek his revenge but for now he asked Ratna Pai on a date.

Afterwards and with his mood much improved he joined Miranda and Gavin at the pinball tables before taking everyone home ready for end of year exams.

and Gavin is the first of the gang to pass his Freshman Year but all the others followed suit soon after.

Gavin is the only male in this dorm who is friends with Tybalt! He wonders if next year things will calm down.

Summary- wouldn't that be nice Gavin? I doubt it somehow. :D

This was fun if exhausting :D 

I had to keep Tybalt and the Monty Brother's tightly controlled or they would want to launch an immediate attack upon each other every time they were next to each other!

Sometimes though it was out of my hands but I still feel it was a successful year at Uni for them all.

Newson Family

 

Here we are in Veronaville back for the second time this round at the Newson home. It's also home to the 'Goodie' family, Herbert and Faith who are caregivers to the Newson clan. Now we have reached 'N' in the alphabet though enough time has passed to continue the story.

It's breakfast time this Monday morning and Ginger has made a best friend of her youngest sister Georgia. Gabriella and Gallagher became teens last time at the end of the week.

Before school a little skilling time sees Georgia building blocks with her twin brother Garrett.

Gavin, the eldest brother enjoys his music while Gabriella chats away to the newspaper kid.

The Children are off to private school and Herbert is going to work. He is a Science Teacher at present.

I gave him and Faith 'adult' jobs as both their LTW's are career related (he- Mad Scientist and she Prestidigitator) and I figured it's more of a challenge for them anyway running the busy household and with their limited life spans to try and reach TOC, plus the income is really handy!

It's Faith's day off so she spent the day chatting to friends, cleaning the house and remembered to pay those red bills just in time!

Garrett got an A+ whilst Herbert is promoted to Project Leader.

Little Georgia enjoys cooking muffins.

Gabriella bought Ralph Enriquez home from school and they have a mutual attraction.

Ginger is now an Overachiever which she got from reaching the top of her teen career and being an A+ student. She is a Family Sim who wishes to celebrate her Golden Anniversary (talk about wishing your life away!). She currently wants to go to college.

Tuesday morning sees Herbert making omelettes for everyone.

As the teens return at 1pm Faith is on her way out to work.

Herbert arrived home having earned 5K.

Gavin, a Fortune Sim with a LTW to be a Business Tycoon is getting some scholarships in the bag.

His younger brother Gallagher, a Knowledge Sim who wishes to become a World Famous Ballet Dancer one day has reached the top of his own teen career.

Here are Ginger and Gavin ready to enter their college years... they made the call on Tuesday evening and left one after the other. We'll catch up with them next. 

Back at home on Wednesday morning saw the Gypsy lady leave a lamp.

Gallagher got the memory but he's too busy listening to his mp3 player to notice.

Herbert loves Nature and is supposed to be tidying this very messy yard but he's too busy having fun kicking the leaves so a Gardener is hired instead. :)

Gabriella, our second Fortune sim is at the top of her teen career too. She is hoping to become The Law one day.

But for now she joins in the birthday celebrations for her youngest siblings!

Garrett rolls to be a Family Sim who wishes to have 3 kids graduate from college.

Whilst Georgia rolls Knowledge and wants to become an Education Minister.

They visit H&M Veronaville and buy some new clothes, electronics and meet some new people.

On Thursday morning the teens enjoy the remnants of last nights' party for breakfast.

Georgia wishes for and is granted a stash of cash.

Garrett hits the top of his teen career. (The bonus of being in Private school is they start teen jobs at level 2).

The teens bust some moves after getting their homework done.

It's all a bit much for Garrett who falls asleep in his pork chops, well he had a busy day!

Knowledge sim Gallagher shouldn't seem so surprised that he's whisked into space, he was searching for aliens after all!

He wasn't abducted until after 4am and just made it back before the school bus arrived on Friday.

It's interesting that half the 'greeting' party are happy for him and the other half (including the paper kid) are worried.

Faith bought a workout bench to improve her body skills.

After school Gabriella and Georgia go to their teen jobs.

They'd bought some friends home from school who happily stayed and chatted with Gallagher.

Poor Georgia made a bad decision at work and got fired.

She soon got her social needs back up by chatting with Amar.

Then she found another teen job.

Herbert is doing well with his career, he and Faith are 65 days old now though and at 70 I usually have my Elders retire. Will he make it to the top? Or even live long enough to get there?

Faith is now super fit and ready to embrace her next position as a Round Table Knight.

Saturday was a busy morning skilling which saw Georgia max her cooking skill, helped in part by her 'kiddie' oven when she was young I'm sure. :)

Garrett befriended Celeste Rossi before he went to work.

Another chance card, another firing. Only a Family Sim would celebrate such a thing!

He got his fun and social back up and found another job for tomorrow.

Georgia reached the top of her second teen career.

Faith maxed her cooking skills in the early hours of Sunday.

Then decided to invite Gavin, Ginger and their dorm mates over. Yes that's Tybalt & Miranda Capp and Romeo & Mercutio Monty! (haha what a fun dorm that is going to be to play!) :D

Using her new found skill Faith whipped up a Baked Alaska even Isabella Monty would be proud of!

Herbert led the 'kids' in a Smustle spectacular.

Of course it wasn't all fun, Tybalt launched an attack on Romeo, which he won. 

Garrett reached the top of his second teen job too.

Gabriella bagged herself a Scholarship but will have to wait until the next round until she goes to college.

Summary-

Another action packed week here it was hard to fit everything in. Lots of friends bought home after work/ school means the family still have a good friendship circle even with the older kids having gone to college.

I'm really hoping Faith and Herbert live long enough to reach TOC's but we will see, Herbert is further along than Faith but maybe I'll break my 'retire' rule just for them. ;)

We'll be going to college to see how Gavin & Ginger get on with the Capp/Monty kids next!
