So...last time in the land of the Kindcadds, stuff happened that doesn't really matter because it seems there was a very tragic accident in Twinkbrook recently...a giant meteor fell out of the sky, directly on top of the Kindcadd Mansion. :[ I know, I know...such awful luck! Only one member of the family survived, because she was out picking up seeds. Luckily, the sole survivor of this disaster was actually Ayame, who was recently voted the Kindcadd Generation 4 heir. Despite her extensive heartbreak at losing her children, siblings, boyfriend, mother, and father, she determined to carry on with the legacy...albeit in an entirely different town, so that the massive smoking crater on the outskirts of town would no longer remind her of all the things she so tragically lost. :(
Ayame moved away to Barnacle Bay, where she'd had a new house built for her with the huge amount of insurance money and inheritance money she'd gotten after the accident.
She wasn't too thrilled by her new abode.
She was still terribly depressed, and rattling around that huge house all by herself with nothing to do but watch reruns of sappy romance movies wasn't helping.
So, barely a day after moving in, Ayame decided to take a vacation to Champs le Sims.
She spent a lot of time in tombs, beating the shit out of things with pickaxes.
Ayame: This is better than therapy.
Tomb exploration took her mind off things.
Ayame: Pleasedon'tlettherebebugsinherepleasedon'tlettherebebugsinhere....
Ayame: Holy shit these things are heavy.
It'd be easier if you had someone with you...
Ayame: Well I would, if A GIANT METEOR HADN'T KILLED MY ENTIRE FAMILY.
Oh. Right.
The pretty new vampire in town attracted plenty of men...
...and some women...
...but Ayame wasn't quite ready for that yet.
She stuck to exploring.
Ayame: I think I almost died.
She spent her last night in Champs le Sims alone by the fire, roasting some veggies.
Upon returning home, the first thing she did was head to the Science Facility to get the cure for Vampirism. It reminded her too much of her former husband.
Human!Ayame is just as pretty as Vamp!Ayame.
After a few days back in town, Ayame managed to make some friends in Odessa and Aeisha. Odessa was a high-class chef at the Bistro, and Aeisha was actually Ayame's boss at the science facility. When Ayame actually consented to go out, it was the two of them she spent time with.
Though Aeisha and Odessa eventually learned about the accident and Twinbrook and offered an impressive outpouring of support, Ayame still remained somewhat depressed as the days went by. She spent her time gardening...
...and playing guitar alone in her huge house. She was also getting incredibly skinny, losing weight she could ill afford to lose. Odessa and Aeisha were growing increasingly concerned.
Ayame: The bar tonight? Yeah, sure. I'll be there.
Odessa: You better. I have a proposition for you.
Ayame: A prop-
*beep beep beep*
Ayame: Dammit, Odessa.
Ayame: I wonder what she wants...
Odessa: There you are. I thought you'd never get here.
Ayame: 'Dess, it took me like five minutes.
Odessa: Sorry, I'm just so excited.
Ayame: Oh Lord. About what?
Odessa: I'm setting you up on a date!
Ayame: 'Dess...
Odessa: Girl, you've got to put yourself back out there. And trust me, I've talked to this guy, I know this guy, you'll like him. I met him on a shopping trip to Champs le Sims, but he wasn't my type.
*one day earlier*
Yves: Bonjour, Odessa. Why did you want to meet me at ze park?
Odessa: Well, I've got a lady I'd like you to meet.
Odessa: She's had a pretty rough time of it lately, but I think a nice date with a nice man is just what she needs...and you, Yves, are a very nice man.
Odessa: I know you're only here for a few days, but hopefully you and her will hit it off and you'll feel like hanging around. What do you say to little blind date?
Yves: I would love to meet a lovely lady...and I would love to have a reason to stay in town. Oui, I will do it!
The day after Odessa's proposal, Ayame still hadn't made up her mind. When she saw Odessa coming up the walk, she assumed it was so her friend could try to persuade her again...but she was quite wrong.
Ayame: 'Dess, what happened? What's going on?
Odessa: H-he...the jerk. The asshole! I t-told...I t-told him and he b-bailed on m-me, A, he j-just l-left...
Ayame: Told him what, Dess?
Odessa: That I'm...I'm...oh, god, Ayame, I'm pregnant!
Ayame: Dess, are you serious?
Odessa: Yes. I...I guess we just weren't careful enough. But he left and Ayame, I don't think I can stay there, we lived together for so long...
Ayame: Well that's easy to fix, Dess. I have this gargantuan house and no one's living in it but me. You just stay with me, okay?
Odessa: Oh, God, Ayame, thank you! You're the best friend ever!
Ayame: No problem. As long as you're all right.
A couple days went by, but Odessa wasn't letting her new roommate off the hook.
Odessa: You'll like him, A, I swear.
Odessa: Come on, he's funny too! He makes faces like this!
Ayame: Well...when you put it that way...
Ayame: All right, since I'm doing this, I may as well do it right. Where am I supposed to meet him?
Odessa: Nowhere, dressed like that.
Odessa: Here, I'll find you something...
Ayame: Should you really be bending over like that? What with your preggo belly and all?
Odessa: Shut up, A.
Ayame: Um...Dess, that's kinda low cut.
Odessa: Shut up and put it on.
Ayame: My boobs feel a draft.
Odessa: Girl, you look sexy! Now show me what you wear to bed.
Ayame: Uh...this?
Odessa: Oh God, girl, no. Just no. I'm knocked up and I sleep in sexier stuff than you do.
Ayame: Odessa....! I highly doubt it's gonna get this far!
Ayame complied with Odessa's little makeover and went to meet her mystery date at the local watering hole.
Yves: Ah, you must be Ayame! I brought you flowers, cherie.
Ayame: Oh...oh, wow. You...I guess you're Yves. Th-thank you.
Just as Odessa predicted, they hit it off perfectly.
After a few drinks at the bar, Yves took her out to eat at the Bistro. Ayame changed into the formalwear Odessa had selected for her and followed Yves into the restaurant, trying to resist the urge to yank down her skirt in the back.
Yves: Odessa did not lie to me. You are quite lovely, cherie.
Ayame: *speechless*
When Yves leaned in for a quick, chaste kiss, Ayame let it happen.
Their date ended on the beach, where Ayame let Yves give her a not-so-chaste kiss goodbye.
Meanwhile, back at the ranch...
Odessa: Kid, you've got THE WORST TIMING.
Odessa: The hell...is that Yves calling?
Yves: I call to tell you about my date, and find you in labor! You're quite lucky I called.
Odessa: Yeah, I know. Thanks for picking me up.
Yves: I shall take you back as well, of course, but about the date...Ayame, she is beautiful, she is fantastic...
Odessa: He's gonna talk like this the whole way back, isn't he?
He did.
Ayame: There you are! Girl, I was so worried when I got back and you weren't here, but I'm glad you're okay. The baby is beautiful, what's his name?
Odessa: Jereth. And no offense, A, but Jereth and I are both pretty tired. But I think there's someone downstairs who'd love to see you again.
Odessa: If you know what I mean ;)
Ayame: Oh. Yves! Um...um...hi...
Yves: Hello, cherie.
Yves: Vous êtes la plus belle femme que j'ai jamais rencontré.
Ayame: I don't know what that means and I don't care. Take me upstairs.
Yves: As you wish, cherie, but it means You are the most beautiful woman I have ever met.
Random shot of Jereth. He's cute. Back to the story!
The next morning, Ayame was having a few second thoughts about her night with Yves.
They went away as soon as he called and asked for another date.
Yves: And I will have a present for you, cherie.
Ayame: Yves, you shouldn't have.
Yves: A woman like you deserves presents. Au revoir, cherie.
Yves's gift? He spend his whole day harvesting rare plants for her to add to her garden.
He even 'borrowed' a few from his neighbors.
Yves: Bonjour, cherie.
Ayame: More flowers!
Yves: Did you have a long day at work?
Ayame: Sort of...it was rather long and stressful, to be honest.
Yves: I can help with that.
Ayame: Ooooh, yes. Yes you can.
Yves: You are more lovely than the sunset, cherie.
Yves: Here is the gift I promised you.
Ayame: Yves! All these seeds! Everything I needed....thank you. This is such a beautiful gift.
Commence date spam.
Yves: Cherie...will you be mine?
Ayame: Yes<3
