Chapter 270

Adam and Delaney headed down to the romance festival in San Myshuno.

Adam: "I wonder what this sakura tea tastes like?"

Adam: "Hey, there's a little sakura flower inside the tea!"

Adam: *Gulp*
Delaney: "This looks yummy."

Adam was right, there is a little sakura flower inside the tea.

Adam: "Is this better than the festival of snow?"

Delaney: "Way better."

Townie: "Be romantically blessed with some romance flower petals!"

Delaney: "Maybe that means you'll get extra lucky in the romance department, today."

Adam: "Gee, I hope so."

Delaney: "Why don't we ask the Love Guru if that's what will happen in the future?"

Adam: "I like that idea."

Delaney: "Hey, Love Guru! Could you give us a future romance reading?"

Love Guru: "Why, of course."

Love Guru: "It seems both of you are within very close proximity of your soulmates. Perhaps they're here at the festival today."

Adam: "Does she have aqua hair, by any chance?"

Delaney: "I bet she does!"

Delaney: "What are you doing?"
Adam: "Taking a picture of that random celebrity over there that I had no idea even existed until just now."

Delaney: "Okay, then..."
Adam: "What? There's celebrities all over San Myshuno."

Delaney and Adam were getting hungry, so they purchased some food from the food stall.

Delaney got edamame and Adam got some spicy noodles.

Delaney: "Hmm... this tastes okay."
Adam: "I'm pretty good with chopsticks, right?"

Adam: "Did you also see the spicy noodles had barely any affect on me?"

Delaney: "Why, yes I did. You're definitely quite the daredevil to try out those super spicy noodles."

Delaney: "It looks so pretty here at night."

Adam: "Not as pretty as you."

Very original.

Delaney: "Are you feeling the romance in the air like I am?"

*Kiss*

Adam: "Definitely."

Delaney: "I don't know if it's the sakura tea, the romantic ambience, or your spicy noodle breath, but things are getting steamy around here!"

Adam: "It's probably not any of those things. It's just me."

*Kiss*

Townie: "These spicy veggies are great, right, guys?"

Delaney: "I really feel like-"

Adam: "You're falling in love with me? I have that affect on sims."

*Kiss*

Alright, that's enough, y'all!

These poor townies are just trying to eat!

Delaney: "Hey, maybe we could make things official and you can move in with me and my crazy family?"

Adam: "Crazy family, huh?"

Adam: "How bad can they be?"

Oh, you have no idea, my friend.

Delaney: "So... what do you say?"

Adam: "As long as I can be with you, I don't mind how crazy your family is."

Delaney: "Just don't say I didn't warn you."

Adam has officially moved in! Wish him luck, he's gonna need it.

Oh, come on, YA NASTIES!

Servo has reached level 5 of the entrepreneur skill! Hooray! This skill was pretty slow-moving.

This mini soccer ball dog toy is so adorable.

We don't need to worry about a Parsons member burning down the kitchen today, Servo is in charge of breakfast for this morning.

Servo's last step in completing this annoying aspiration is teaching another sim to knit.

Delaney: "Am I doing it right?"
Servo: "Sure... but I must ask... what the heck are you trying to make?"

Delaney: "Some socks, duh!"
Adam: "Those are some weird looking socks."

Colby: "This guy thought he could move in without an initiation from me?"

Colby: "Hey, there! You must be Delaney's boyfriend. Has she warned you, yet?"

Adam: "Warned me about what, sir?"

Colby: "That every sim who enters this family becomes completely cray cray!"

Adam: "I don't think that'll happen."

Colby: "That's what they all say."

FINALLYYYYY!!! Servo has completed the Lord of the Knits aspiration!

Since Adam is still an amateur, Servo will be helping Adam do all of his favorite extreme sporting activities. Servo will also be completing the Extreme Sports Enthusiast aspiration right alongside Adam.

First thing's first, they need some sporting gear.

Meanwhile, Delaney will be working on her charisma skill in the nearby hot spring bathroom.

Adam and Servo headed over to the beginners ski slope.

Adam: "Am I doing this right?"

Servo is already a pro, he's very close to reaching level 10 of the skiing skill.

Adam: "THIS IS AMAZIIING!"

Servo: "Watch and learn-"

Servo: "AH!"

Adam: "I did better than the so-called 'skiing pro'?"

Servo: "That didn't happen."

To the info board!

Adam: "Should we hike to the natural cove?"
Servo: "That sounds safe enough for an amateur like you."

Adam: "I'm not the one who fell on my-"

Servo: "That didn't happen!"

Servo looks creepy while he hikes.

Servo: "Why is everyone roasting me today?"

Everyone is always roasting you.

Adam: "This place looks pretty cool."

Servo: "According to the guide..."

Servo: "We're completely lost!"

Adam: "And this guy claims to be an expert."

Adam: "Maybe I should lead the way instead."
Servo: "Maybe I should leave you behind."

Delaney: "Vending machine burgers and coffee taste better than I expected!"

Adam: "You think we're getting any closer to the natural cove?"

Servo: "It appears that we're almost there."

Let's hope so.

Servo: "We made it! And we found a little friend!"

Adam: "Is that a forest spirit?!"

Servo: "It sure is! How do you do, forest spirit friend?"

After the hike, Servo decided to work on his rock climbing skill on the advanced wall. He's level 9, so hopefully he can reach level 10 soon.

Adam wants to climb the advanced wall, but he needs to stick to the beginner wall for now.

Servo made it to the top with ease!

Servo: "Thank gosh I didn't fall."

Adam: "AH!

Unlike Adam.

Colby: "Please don't ever make me rock climb."

Today is Delaney's high school graduation!

Delaney: "I'm ready to graduate!"

The whole family is here to watch her graduate.

Looks like the Parsons arrived early.

Delaney: "We were supposed to arrive fashionably late!"

Valedictorian: "And remember, folks, you're either hardly working or hardly working."

Valedictorian: "Wait a minute... that's not how the saying goes!"

Servo: "Maybe we should go watch the ceremony instead of sitting back here."

Daphne: "You're right."

Looks like everyone is ready to receive their diplomas.

Principal: "Delaney Parsons!"

Delaney: "That would be me."

Colby: "When can I go home and take a nap?"

Principal: "You have a bright future ahead of you. Congratulations for graduating with honors."

Delaney: "High five! I graduated with honors!"

*High five*

Delaney: "Beat that, y'all."

Delaney: "That's right, you can't."

Congratulations to the graduating class of 2023!

Hooray, Delaney!

What an awesome graduation photo!

Colby: "Congratulations, sweetie. We couldn't be prouder of you."

Delaney: "Thanks, dad. It means a lot."

Servo is brushing up on his snowboarding skill before heading back to Mt. Komorebi.

Colby: "Did you get the flirty text message I sent to you, dear?"

Daphne: "Flirty? You asked me if my refrigerator was running."

Servo told Adam that he also needs to brush up on his rock climbing skill if he wants to ever set foot near the advanced wall, so Adam has been reading his rock climbing skill book all day.

Since everyone is too busy to clean around here, the Parsons have a new maid! It's Bonehilda! She'll now be coming around daily to clean the Parsons house! And to canoodle with Servo.

Bonehilda: "My love! I've missed you beyond words."

Servo: "I missed you more. I'm so glad you'll be coming around here more often, I think about you every second of the day."

Bonehilda: "It is filthy around here!"

Why do you think the Parsons hired you?

Delaney: "So that means Bonehilda will now clean the toilet so that we don't have to?"

That's exactly what it means!

Delaney is back down at ThriftTea!

Delaney: "Guess what's trending once again?"

Rocker style?

Delaney: "You guessed it!"

Delaney: "I need to thrift some rocker clothes so I can create some more outfits to sell on Trendi."

Delaney: "Outfit number one is giving 'rock star'."

Delaney: "Outfit number two reminds me of a gothic queen."

Delaney: "Outfit number three is super grunge."

Delaney: "Let's see if these outfits sell like hotcakes like the last outfits."

Delaney also needs to submit another fashion article.

Delaney: "I'll write an article titled 'Boho Chic or No-no Chic? How to Spot the Differences'."

Adam is still reading his rock climbing skill book at the nearby park.

Delaney: "They didn't accept my article? Oh, come on!"

Apparently there's a fashion show happening in ThriftTea right now. The outfits entering this building are questionable at best.

Delaney: "Hey, speaking of boho, maybe I could be apart of the fashion show wearing a boho chic outfit."

Delaney: "Aright, this is what I was able to thrift! Does it look good?"

Fabulous, dahling!

Delaney: "Then, why is everyone still staring at the sim wearing bat wing stockings?"

Delaney: "Look at my fabulous outfit."

Looks like everyone is too busy being astounded by that guy's flamingo robe.

Adam is here to show some moral support and try some bubble tea.

Adam: "This stuff tastes weird, why does everyone like it?"

Delaney: "Ugh, are you kidding me right now? That outfit is horrible!"

Townie: "Don't be jelly."

What an icon.

Adam: "Seriously? That outfit has nothing on my girlfriend's outfit!"

We love a supportive boyfriend!

Delaney: "Thank you, babe!"

Delaney: "My boyfriend knows good fashion when he sees it. Right, babe?"

Adam: "Seriously, why do sims drink this stuff?"

Adam: "At least the tapioca balls aren't so bad."

Delaney: "...Earth to Adam?"

Adam: "Oh... right, your outfit looks great, babe!"

Delaney: "Maybe I should enter the fashion show, too?"

Delaney: "Maybe you shouldn't."

Adam: "But, why not?"

Delaney: "Because you stand no chance against me. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to drink this free bubble tea I found on the table."

Townie: "Everyone, stop what you're doing and admire my watermelon shorts!"

Delaney: "My eyes! MY EYES!"

Eliza Pancakes has definitely won the fashion show.

Delaney: "So, have you learned a little more about fashion today?"

Adam: "Yeah, I learned what not to wear. What are these townies even thinking?"

Delaney: "Beats me! Hopefully they find my outfits on Trendi to help them out."

Delaney: "Thanks for coming to support me today, babe. It means a lot."

Adam: "You know I'll always support you."

Delaney: "Right back at ya."

Adam: "Really? So you'll climb another rock climbing wall in the near future?"

Delaney: "Let's not get carried away."

The winner of the fashion show today is: Betty Newbie!

Happy birthday, Rocco!

Rocco aged up into a young adult! I'm sad to see him go. Now, get out.

Adam: "Ugh, I'm tired of only reading skill books, I wanna do the real thing."

Alright, time to head back to Mt. Komorebi, then.

Servo: "THIS IS SO THRILLING!"

Servo is doing the expert ski slope at high intensity!

Adam still needs a little more practice in the beginner's slope.

Adam: "Stuck the landing!"

Luckily this slope isn't so deep.

Adam: "Oww! I feel on my butt!"

Yaaay! Servo has reached level 10 of the skiing skill!

Servo: "I'M READY TO GO, GO, GO! I JUST WANNA SKI ALL DAY! NO, MAYBE I SHOULD SNOWBOARD INSTEAD! LET ME GET BACK UP THE MOUNTAIN TO SNOWBOARD RIGHT NOW!"

Looks like extreme sports has Servo a little energized.

Servo: "Woohoo!"

Oh my gosh!

Servo really is a pro, this looks terrifying!

Adam: "Why can't I go on the expert slope yet?"

Do you want a visit from the Grim Reaper? No!

Servo: "AGAIN, AGAIN!!!"

Servo: "WOOOOOHOOOO!!!"

Hooray, Servo has reached level 10 of the snowboarding skill!"

Servo: "I'm ready to conquer the expert rock climbing wall once again!"

Maybe Servo can even reach level 10 of the rock climbing skill tonight!

Aww, man. He got close, but he has to go home. He'll try to conquer it again later on.

Speaking of mastering skills, after selling lots of outfits on Trendi, Delaney has reached level 5 of the entrepreneur skill!

Delaney: "This will help with my Trendi sales a lot!"

Back to writing another fashion article.

Adam is a bit sore from skiing yesterday, so he'd better stick to skill books for today.

Thank you, Bonehilda. I'm sure cleaning the microwave for the third time was completely necessary.

Hey, you two!

Enough flirting!

Bonehilda, what the heck are you doing?! Don't spray Delaney's hair!

Bonehilda: "I get the sense that a handsome robot is sitting behind me."

Servo: "Hehe... she's talking about me."

Delaney: "Bonehilda! You sprayed that cleaning stuff too close to the computer and it broke!"

Bonehilda: "Oopsie..."

Adam: "You know you're even more beautiful than this lake behind me, right?"

Delaney: "Oh, stop it, you."

Adam: "I mean it."

Adam: "I didn't just come out here to show you the lake."

Delaney: "What did you bring me out here during a heatwave for, then?"

Adam: "Delaney Parsons..."

Adam: "Will you marry me?"

Delaney: *Gasp!* "Oh my gosh, yes, yes, yes! Of course I'll marry you!"

*Kiss*

Adam and Delaney are engaged!

Adam: "Can I put you down yet, it's so hot out here!"

Delaney: "Not yet."

Adam: "Can't... hold... on... much... LONGER!"
Delaney: "Okay, you can put me down, now."

Delaney: "I think I should head out and photograph outfits from the next place of interest for my fashion article."

Sulani!

Delaney: "Hey, there! I love your beach attire! Would you let me take your picture for my fashion column about the outfits of Sulani?"

Townie: "I'm flattered! Of course you can!"

Fabulous!

Delaney: "Hi! Your mow hawk goes great with your swim shorts! Would you let me take your picture for my fashion column about the outfits of Sulani?"

Townie: "I guess that would be okay."

Wonderful!

Delaney: "Hey, hey! I love your swimsuit! The colors are amazing! Would you let me take your picture for my fashion column about the outfits of Sulani?"

Townie: "Oh my gosh, of course! I read your fashion articles all the time!"

Stunning!

Now that Delaney has done her work task for the day, she and Adam can go swimming in the beautiful Sulani waters.

Adam: "It's pretty nice out here, right?"

Delaney: "Yeah, these waters are crystal clear! I've heard my ancestors had something to do that how clean the Sulani waters are-"

Adam: *Splash!*

Delaney: "Hey!"

Delaney: *Splash!* "Hahaha! That's what you get!"

*Kiss*

Delaney: "I'll race you to that palm tree!"
Adam: "Hey, no fair! You got a head start!"

Adam and Delaney are back home.

Delaney: "I need to tinkle!"

Bonehilda: "Why do I suddenly feel like dancing?"

Because you're in the Parsons house.

Uh... where the heck are you going?

Bonehilda: "To sketch on my tablet."

Okay, then...

Servo is attempting to reach level 10 of the rock climbing skill tonight.

While Adam practises skiing.

Adam: "I think I'm ready for the intermediate/expert slope!"

Uh oh... let's hope.

Adam: "WOOHOO!"

Adam: "Stuck the landing once again!"

Only to fall right at the end.

Adam: "I'm fine. That was beyond awesome!"

Hooray! Servo has reached level 10 in the rock climbing skill!

This means he only has one more skill to complete until he has mastered every skill in the game! I guess he'd better head to Selvadorada soon to master the Selvadoradian culture skill.
