The Oceanside Project: Bossanova Part 1
"Blame It On The Bossanovas: Part 1"
Warnings: Woohoo (seriously, when isn't there woohoo?), naked bums, excessive ballet, Mean Girls, Brodie Mason, and the longest update ever.
Day One
Please meet the splash-happy twins Selena and Diego Bossanova. Selena joined the Oceanside Project in order to teach the children of the new land. As soon as the first of the founding families' children transitions to childhood, Selena will start the Education career and will have an elementary school built for her. Diego loves to dance and wants to eventually open his own dance studio as soon as he learns how to instruct in dance.
Selena's traits: Nurturing, Friendly, Hot-Headed, Over-Emotional, Proper.
Diego's traits: Flirty, Friendly, Hates Reading, Party Animal, Natural Born Performer.
*sigh* Hi Brodie Mason, Oceanside's postal carrier.
Brodie: Ah, let me stretch my long legs while getting soaking wet from all of this rain! (Is Diego watching me?)
Apparently he was. Diego introduces himself to the delight of Brodie.
Selena heads inside to make comfort soup for everyone. They need to warm their bones after all of that time playing in the rain.
Diego finishes his scintillating conversation with Brodie...
and comes inside lighting a fire to warm the place up.
Since the law career opened up Diego confides in his sister that he thinks he should take the job until he's ready to own his dance studio.
Selena doesn't agree. Being a lawyer is a lot of responsibility and hard work that Diego just isn't ready to do yet. She thinks he is much better suited for the journalism career*. All he has to do is go around town looking for news and writing about what he finds. Plus the newspaper currently has nothing but ads for Malcolm Landgraab's campaign and reminders from Vivian Moneywell that everyone has to pay taxes anyways. It would be nice to have real news in it.
*I told you I was counting all of those fires!
Diego agrees and decides that he will become the town's reporter... tomorrow.
Because today he wants to have fun and relax so he invites his own welcome wagon over.
Selena's fiance Connor Firestone and Diego's main squeeze Matisse Troubadour hurry over. Connor is Oceanside's mechanic and Matisse is the resident artist, photographer and, apparently, everyone's BFF.
Hmmm, Selena must be giving Connor a tour of the house...
WHAT ARE YOU DOING? That's Diego's room. He's going to kill you if he finds out!
WHAT THE HELL!!!!1 What is this some kind of pregnancy pact or something? Why are all of my girls trying for baby?
Luckily Diego is none the wiser that his bed has been "christened" as he woos his lady love in his tights and toe shoes.
All of that wooing seems to have worked. Diego convinces Matisse to a "house tour" of his own.
Diego: Hey sis, I'm going to give Matisse a 'house tour.' *wink wink*
Selena: I WASN'T DOING ANYTHING IN YOUR ROOM! *smile smile*
Very subtle Selena.
Matisse's house tour ended in the same place Connor's did. Luckily no one became pregnant during this one!
Tisk, tisk Mister! As soon as he woohoos Matisse he wants to make-out with three sims!
It seems that Connor was behind the try-for-baby plan. He and Selena spend most of the night in the hot tub discussing which toys their new arrival should have.
Time for their guests to leave...
and Selena to get some shut-eye.
However Diego wakes up abruptly...
when he senses his lady love about to be mauled by a wild creature outside!
Matisse: My hero!
Ugh, weren't you just here like an hour ago?
I see, that's why you came back over. You're not slick Matisse Troubadour!
*sigh* Romance sims!
Day Two
After Matisse leaves Diego practices his ballet. His dream in life is to become a world class ballerina.
Selena wakes up in a good mood hoping that she and Connor will be parents soon. I guess this means we need to move up the wedding date *grumble grumble*
A quick trip to the bathroom confirms Selena's wishes.
Selena wanted to try crafting pottery. This will be a great skill to teach the children in art class once her school opens.
Looking good!
Oh. Well maybe you can use it as an example of how not to make a plate to your students?
Diego Bossanova becomes Oceanside's first journalist. His first task will be to head the town's yearbook chronicling their first year in Oceanside. Surely he can get the help of Matisse to put it all together.
Selena starts another project...
while Diego takes a nap.
Brodie is a little bummed that Diego wasn't awake to talk to her as she stops by to collect the mail. Look, it's Vivian Moneywell the town's treasurer strolling by.
Brodie: Hmph. That's the chick that wouldn't let me help with her wedding planning. I'm not talking to her!
Can't we all try to get along?
After a hot bath Selena becomes ill again. She's pretty sure that she's pregnant but will have to wait until she's checked by soon-to-be doctor Minka Yomoshoto.
Selena spends the rest of the afternoon building sand piles...
burning comfort soup...
and studying Anger Management which will definitely come in handy dealing with unruly school children.
*inviso-pop*
Diego awakens from his nap and resumes his barre exercises. He's getting so much better at it!
