Below the read more is a bunch of stuff for tumblr, so don't mind me!
To those from tumblr: this is just me making up silly captions and I regret nothing. First of all there's a big chunk of text as well as the scores for the end of Chapter 1!
First of all, they all had one chat and one get to know with Coffea, which is shown in the meet and greets. At 1 there was a second round of chats, and this is shown by dinner. (I only took photos of the latter round of chats, sorry!)
I’m not entirely sure how Viola has such a high score with Coffea, but he was the only one that interacted with Coff on auto. However, 2 of these were bad socials (complain about Cydon (though they may have bonded over this, Coff didn't look all that unimpressed), complain about inappropriateness)! 1 was a good one (the shaka bra thing). As this chapter only covered a week, and was long enough already, I decided that two of those interactions cancelled each other out, and the other negative one happened in the morning before Viola’s date. (I realise in the tags I put that it was for the bad interaction from the date, which was a mistake. That was meant to show through in the comment from Coff about this being a rebound thing. Now that I’ve got a better feel for how this is going to go, I’ll make sure to show every interaction and have a clear note of when they are being shown).
On the dates, they each got one chat and one pick up line, all had max motives at the start, the same amount of auto time and were on the same lot. The fixed interactions were kind of generalised to the whole getting-the-date-ready section before the date actually began, and then their auto interactions were used to write the dates. Some carried over into the days, such as a couple for Papaver and one for Cydon.
In order of how they appeared:
Papaver had the best date over all: 5 positive socials and 1 negative one, which was carried over into the next morning. His score is currently 19.38.
Merremia also had a good date! He had 2 romantic socials and 2 friendly socials. His score is currently 16.79.
Viola had a strange date. He had 1 romantic social, 2 unfriendly socials and 1 friendly social. It must be his friendly trait that is giving him the score boost, however, because he is currently ahead with 20.81 points! (His good score was another reason I didn’t focus on his bad interactions so much. I don’t really understand how it was so good, I think the friendly trait is to blame? His score has definitely fluctuated a lot, that much I can tell you!)
Cydon was next up, with a good date. He had 1 negative interaction (shown by the snappiness of Coffea during the personal chat), 2 friendly socials and 2 romantic socials. (I consider Pap’s date better because it improved his score more. Cydon had a good score before going into the date, and improved it to 19.86!) A tiny amount above Papaver, but he’s still second.
Cosmos had a poor date with Coff, but it could have been worse. He only had 1 romantic social. I decided to swap it with one of their fixed chats, because it would be better to have more seriousness on the date. This is why Cos has appeared to flirt with Coff during the days more. His score is sitting at 13.45.
Finally, we have Cirsium, who had no other interactions during the date. Alas, he is currently at 9.29, and that makes him last. However, the next chapter covers three weeks of story time, and there are enough fixed interactions to get those scores to change, and they will!
These pictures are seriously messed up in order, but the dates and the the second round of chats is all clumped together, so that's what matters.
Only mer didn't find Coff hot, oops.
The boys do well in chatting to each other! Merry is judging your fancy dressing gown, Cydon.
Mer: dude probably didn't want to have his kimono wrinkled in his case.
Cydon: I have a travel iron, thank you very much. And besides, that's - ugh, never mind. Uncultured swines.
Coffea, that's not nice to agree with Viola! Cydon is a cinammon roll and we must cherish him.
I guess Coff took my words to heart because he chided Viola shortly after.
But I guess you can't stay mad for long at a brah, right?!
Everyone gets breakfast in the morning, thanks to Papaver <3
Mer: Who needs umbrellas, the water is too glorious!
Cir: Who is this man.
Viola:I wonder how inapporpriate I can be to these guys.
Cos: Early mornings are not cool, bro.
Cydon: I disagree. You can get so much done.
Cos: Who even are you, ugh.
Cydon: *bores Cosmos to sleep*
Coffea, ever the sensitive soul, gazes outside instead of interacting with the men in the room with him.
Meanwhile, Mer hits himself in the eye while trying to do a trick shot.
Cos: If early morning comes with this many half naked men, I could be convinced to get up! Or get it up heh.
Cydon: Why is this man staring at my chest?
Video games galore! I should say that this room wasn't open all the time, just after the second round of chats from Coffea.
Cos: *casually shows off to the neighbours*
Viola: Do you seriously think that wedding bells are in your future?? Don't get ahead of yourself.
Papaver: You're a very unpleasant person, and I'm going to take joy in watching you fail.
Not everyone is arguing though!
Guys, you're meant to be wooing coffea!
Viola's inappropriate trait continues to rear it's ugly head.
Because all of these pictures are apparently mixed up, here are the ones of Coffea chatting to them at 1pm! I need to get better at this, lel.
Coff: so do you take pictures for, like, newspapers?
Pap: I try to stay away from them. They're always so depressing.
Coff: Yeah, I do too. Mostly because I can't read.
Pap: What?!
Coff: A joke, that was a joke.
Pap: ... right.
Coffea: Okay, but what are your thoughts on sushi? Raw fish, you know what I'm saying?
Viola: At least it's dead. It could be worse.
Coffea: Uh... yeah....?
Coffea: Do you like my top? Don't release the kraken, am I right?
Mer: It's an octopus, but okay.
Coff: *stares*
Cydon: Why is everyone staring at my chest today??
Coffea: Totally saw you working out there, dude. It was a good show.
Cosmos: Yeah, that's not creepy at all.
Coff: Spaceships, though.
Cir: What are you on about?
Coff: please love me
Mer: Roses are red, viola is blue, actually he's kind of purple, shit I fucked this up, hang on...
Papaver: What does his top even mean? Is it a green brain? I don't understand.
DATES:
Coff: This is kind of weird, isn't it?
Pap: You're kind of weird.
Coff: Rude.
Coff: So, cameras.
Papaver: Yeah. They're a thing.
Pap: Have you ever gone on a date before?
Coff: I AM TOTALLY EXPERIENCED AND SMOOTH.
Pap: Right, back to cameras we go.
Coff: I'm not desperate for love!
Pap: Calm down!
Poor Pap goes to gussy up and reassure himself that Coff is a nice guy.
Coff: bb if I could paint, I would paint you anyday. But I can't, so I don't know where I'm going with this.
Coff: Okay but the colour green, right? Isn't it glorious?
Papaver: I guess Cydon and Mer have a bit of an advantage over us, then.
Coff: They do have very nice chests.
-mer's date-
Mer: I'm an experienced diver, baby, I'll go down for you any day.
Coff: hnnnnnnngh
Coff: I'm pretty sure this shirt has more than 8 legs, therefore it can't be an octopus.
Mer: I'm a marine biologist, don't question me.
Mer: Oh, I made a poem for you. Roses are red, viola is purple - no, wait, fucked it up again.
Coff: Don't worry, if you can stand my awful pick up lines then we're a match, as far as I am concerned.
Mer: that's good, because you're like a magnet to my heart. Irresistable, you know what I'm saying?
Coff: Not at all, but nice attempt.
-Vi's date-
Coff: you're so inapprops.
Vi: I think it's pretty inappropriate to shorten that word. You're almost 30, Coffea, please stop trying to be down with the kids.
Viola: You're lucky that being inappropriate turns me on.
Voila: But seriously, would it kill you to clean up after yourself once in a while?
Coff: I'm getting whiplash from how fast you go from 0 to 11, jfc.
Coff: why is everyone taller than me?
Coff: Cool top, bro.
Vi: I meant to have another one on, but the sim goddess is lazy.
Asshole.
Coff: I'm gonna have a special surprise for you on your birthday!
Cydon: Why does this make me faintly alarmed?
Coff: I don't know if you're much of an artist, but if you ever need a nude model...
Cydon: Oh, my~
Coff: What even is baseball anyway? Rounders is where it's at.
Cydon: I have no idea what you're talking about.
Cydon: You're lucky you're cute.
Coff: Heh, yeah I am.
Coff: I'm the man.
Cydon: Now now, let's not get your head too big.
Coff: There's a joke in there somewhere.
Cydon: If only you were as funny as you were slobby, ugh.
Coff: I have my BACKSTORY REASONS FOR THAT GAWD.
Cydon appeared to need a drink after that..
And Coff took some of his frustrations out on poor unsuspecting moles. Or something.
-cos's date -
Cos: alright, cos, eyes on the prize!
Coff: If you were a book, I'd read you any day.
Cos: You're not very good at this, are you?
Coff: JK I don't read if I can help it.
Cos: Can I just shut him up with flowers, or...?
-Cir's date-
Coff: This day has been ups and downs, dude.
Cir: Well, I came here in my tight pants just for you.
Coff: Wow, I can see everything.
Cir: That's the point ;)
Aaaand then Cir went to ride the carousel for hours.
Cir: I'm just showing how well I can ride. I hope you're watching, Coff.
Coff: This is surprisingly uncomfortable.
Cir: Coff, what how I handle this pole!!
I think that's enough, Cir (and I blame plumbmeow for saying things along these lines to me).
