Long time no see, Sims!Kisumai. 8D We finally gathered our courage and played with them, after exactly 3 months of recovering from the traumas we got last time. And now we're here to present the results to you.
Taipi was just as excited as we were (and you must be). He expressed his overflowing feelings by jumping up and down in the first puddle he could find.
Anyways. Before we go into any serious storytelling, let's introduce our new family member, Hiro Jr.
A cutie, isn't it? And just as food-loving as its human counterpart. We had to feed it like every five minutes. The time in between it spent trying to escape very very hard.
It's actually Tama's hamster. But nonetheless, Kitayama loved it just as much:
They look similar, don't they? :D
To celebrate the arrival of the new family member, Hiro, without us noticing a thing, went to cook something for everyone. When we did notice him, however, the results of his cooking were... well. We had no idea WHAT he had cooked, and it seemed that neither did he.
Lots of staring: "...WTF?" Btw, he also burned it. Not the house-wife material, obviously.
But because wasting food is a no-no in the Kisumai family, Hiro decided to let everyone eat his cookings despite the possibility of everyone dying from food-poisoning.
Gladly, nobody died. But you can see what the food tastes like quite well from the look on Hiro's face, don't you think? Tama observed his serving very skeptically.
In the end he didn't want to risk his life and tried to cook something himself. The outcome of that was catastrophic.
Hiro was so freaked out by Tama's screaming that he ended up jumping through the counter.
The mess Tama had created was of course left for Yokoo to clean. Yokoo didn't like that one bit. Actually, after hearing about the incident from Taipi, he cried. Senga had just broken another shower, too.
Feeling a little guilty, Tama promised Yokoo he'd try and fix the showers for him.
But then he just made a bigger mess for Yokoo to clean. So much for his helpfulness.
Miyata appreciated Tama's TRY, though, and so cooked some cheese pasta for everyone - and was the first one to succeed in not ruining anything. And being Miyata, right when Tama sat in front of the table, he hurried all the way from the other side of it to serve Tama first. Naturally. How cute. Yokoo got ignored.
Tama and Hiro made a new car, btw. Tama's talking about it rather proudly; it's YELLOW. Hiro had wanted to paint it red, but gave in after realizing someone had hidden his red paint. Personally, he blamed Taipi.
His suspicions were confirmed when he later on found a picture of himself (half-naked) working on their car on Taipi's night stand. Someone had obviously been sneaking in.
Then one day, Fumi came to visit. He came to visit often. Enjoys spending time in Kisumai's dressing room house, much?
But I guess it was good to get Yokoo some company too. He had started to spend too much time with dogs and wolves. We suspect he's trying to become a werewolf.
While Yokoo was working (and after Fumi had deemed it unnecessary to go home), Miyata apparently thought it'd be good to get to know Yokoo's boyfriend a little better. They clicked right away.
Comparing hand sizes in swimming trunks. Very manly.
Finally Fumi had stayed so long that the Ebisu household got worried. They sent Hasshi, the ultimate Golden Retriever, to fetch Fumi back.
But...
... he got really distracted by Tama's manboobs and after some teasing they started a pillow fight. Hiro and Fumi just eyerolled at the childishness and kept chatting about serious stuff. Like having sex.
It seemed that Fumi had only wanted to wait for Yokoo to come home though.
N'aww.
After Hasshi and Fumi had left, Tama was exhausted. So exhausted in fact, that he fainted before getting to bed. Which was RIGHT NEXT TO HIM. (Of course, it could be just that Miyata pushed him off the bed but...)
He wasn't the only one. For some reason, Taipi took a nap too - just in front of the stairs. Great way of blocking access downstairs, Taipi.
Hiro was awfully worried for him. Instead of carrying him down to their own room to sleep, which would've been the manly way (Hiro isn't very manly. D:) he woke poor Taipi up to tell him how worried he was.
The sleepiness was contagious. It wasn't long before Nika confronted his food face first.
It could be he was just banging his head against the table though. Or got confused with how to use a knife and a fork.
Senga, unlike Hiro, wasn't too worried. It was just your usual Nika, there.
And just like Senga assumed, it didn't take Nika too long to forget he was dead tired.
Miyata appreciated the show. Perv.
Actually, he sort of got turned on. Tama noticed that. And took advantage of it.
It would be sweet, if not for Miyata's hand (Tip: look under the water).
The next picture was an accident. But that look on his face tells A LOT. (Tip: Where did Tama disappear?)
Let's continue with Miyata, because WINTER'S HERE, OMG.
He went and made a snow angel right away. After finishing it he was so pleased with himself that he started applauding. Happy~!
The snow piled up somewhat (But Miyata's snow angel refused to disappear. No doubt he went to redo it after every snowfall), so much in fact that we started losing Iida under it.
Thank god Hiro Jr couldn't get out of his cage. We would've never found it again.
Unfortunately, to everyone's disappointment (they had had a mission to build 7 snowmen, and didn't succeed), the snow melted soon enough. What was left behind were only the sad ruins of Miyata, Hiro and Taipi snowmen.
Nikaido took it the hardest. For a long while he refused to take off his winter coat, even when inside. Miyata, on the other hand, was already waiting for summer. Judging by his appearance at least.
(Looks like he has nothing on, right? xD)
When Hiro and Taipi both expressed their will to get a make-up chair, we felt a little disturbed. In the end, though, our Sim!pair knew better than us, and the new chair turned out to be a lot of fun. Some neighbours weren't too impressed by Taipi's artistic skills...
...but some were absolutely delighted, especially after Taipi very not-surprisingly decided that pink is again IN.
It has been a lot of work to make Kisumai REALLY understand member-ai, but it seems our work was not in vain. Always when we weren't looking, Kisumai exchanged beds - and along with that, sleeping partners. Hiro was one of the most popular sleeping mates (probably because he got really cuddly with them in his sleep, srsly, it's a good thing Taipi didn't see), but Nika was also well-liked (maybe because he didn't kick people out of the bed like Miyata.)
One reason could also have been that Senga didn't mind much. Actually, he thought it was great fun to peek at that random guy sleeping with Nika. Maybe there'd be some action?
Despite the pair-swapping, everyone still got along well. Hirosuke was being absolutely sappy, not deeming it necessary to take their love behind closed doors.
They weren't the only people who thought privacy was just not needed. We suspect the guy in the background is Yokoo, and he seems to like the walls down rather than up when he's taking a bath.
Also, Yokoo learned how to boss everyone around. After the episode with showers and the burnt kitchen, he decided to teach the rest how to clean up after themselves. Nika was his first unfortunate victim. Or maybe it was Senga. From the look on Senga's face it seems he somehow managed to persuade Nika to do the job. That SOMEHOW isn't really a somehow, though. With Nisen, everything's always pretty obvious.
And as you can see, TamaMiya was still going strong too. Dancing in the background. Romantic.
Hirosuke was also unable to escape Yokoo's claws. But they, at least, did everything together. Or more like, Taipi did the work. Hiro just kept distrubing him by poking his feet.
And one last picture. (OMG YAY.)
As a way of thanking you for reading this through, a part of Kisumai wants to show off their synchronized swimming skills. (Notice Miyata who bumped his head against the wall of the pool after swimming to the wrong way, and Nika who somehow got his feet stuck on the other end of the pool. Idiots.)
The end? For now. Or more like, to be continued. (Poor you. XD)
