The Fish Legacy - 01.03
Last time on The Fish Legacy:
Brytani appeared out of thin air every time Axolotl pulled out her guitar in public, Cassidy accused Axolotl of impregnating her, and Axolotl met Kayla Flemming at a talent show. She randomly acquired Mayor Whiskers due to a glitch in the game, so now she's extra extra poor.
I was going to have Axolotl spend the day looking for Kayla, but the bills arive tomorrow and finances are a pretty major concern at the moment, so.
It doesn't take long for Axolotl to attract a small crowd.
Or for Baako to whip out his guitar and steal all of the tips that might have otherwise gone to Axolotl provide a little "friendly competition."
Oh, hey, Cassidy!
She waddled all the way around the crowd to whisper in Morgan's ear.
Cassidy: You see that beak-nosed street performer? She knocked me up during a one night stand and won't acknowledge she's the father.
Be honest, Cassidy. Do you really want your child to be raised by a Sim who intends to eat all the half-eaten meals left by complete strangers in their rush to watch Thorne Bailey play guitar?
Wait. Did you wet yourself?
I'm so sad I missed it.
Thorne: I do not allow pee-smelling pregnant women into my exclusive fan club!
Poor dear.
Axolotl: Oh, hey Cassidy! Don't I look cute with my one star of fame?
Single, pregnant, and unemployed? I'm kind of obsessed with her right now.
I'm sorry, Cassidy. I can't help myself.
Axolotl: I don't care if you are covered in pee; you are wonderful.
Don't tell me you didn't see this coming.
Or this.
Can we just take a moment to appreciate the expression on Axolotl's face? It's like she's only just now realized this is a terrible mistake, but she's in too deep to stop herself from making it.
At least they had fun?
Axolotl: That was amazing. And It can never happen again.
Cassidy: *is besotted*
If you're hoping Axolotl will face some sort of punishment for stringing Cassidy along like this, well...as soon as Cassidy leaves, I make her run about a mile through a raging blizzard to pee in the nearest bush.
Axolotl: Can't I just fast-travel to the nearest indoor venue with a bathroom?
No.
I can't even begin to imagine how cold that must have been.
Vlad: *gasp*
Vlad: An evil witch has turned the mortal into a cat!
Vlad: Have no fear, little one! I'll find the witch who cursed you.
Vlad: I just need to take your hat....
Cassidy. It's 3:27 in the morning.
She must have wanted Axolotl to be with her when she birthed her child because this popped up as soon as the phone stopped ringing.
Never mind that, though. We have a long day of Kayla-hunting ahead of us, and proof that Axolotl does not shower with her socks on!
*gasp* She's here!
Don't mess this up, Axolotl.
Axolotl: Are you an angel? Because it hurt...when I fell for you.
Kayla: ...
Kayla: Didn't I already tell you I'm not interested?
Axolotl: Well, yes, but. I mean....
Axolotl: I really fucked this up, didn't I?
Yes, Axolotl.
Yes, you did.
Not to worry, though. Axolotl has a backup plan.
Axolotl: HOW ARE YOU NOT SWEATING?!?
This...this is your plan??
Kayla: Um. Are you okay?
Axolotl: I'm *huff* *pant* *huff* *wheeze*
Axolotl: Fine. *gasp* *huff* wheeze*
Kayla: Let's...get you hydrated.
When I opened my game the next morning, the first set of bills had arrived.
Axolotl's going to have to do a looot of busking over the next two days to pay those bills.
But first! Let's spend money we don't have on food we can't afford!
Axolotl: Feel free to choose whatever you want!
Please don't.
Gita: Where are those horrible waitstaff! Can't they see us sitting here?!
I mean, there is a blizzard raging right now. They probably didn't anticipate anyone choosing to sit outside.
Between their treadmill conversation and waiting for their meal to arrive, Axolotl learns all of Kayla's traits.
Axolotl: Loves Outdoors, eh? Does that mean you'd be amenable to living in a tent?
Kayla: Ugh. My husband is texting me again.
If you choose us, Kayla, we promise not to text you.
Wow. Axolotl could really stand to take some lessons from this guy!
Gita: I do not recall giving you permission to wrap your arms around me like I'm some kind of hussy!
...Or not.
Axolotl: Why am I here when I could still be with Kayla?
Well, you have $100 to your name and $446 in bills so....
It took until 3 in the morning, but she earned enough in tips to pay those bills.
The next day, we head to Geek Con.
Axolotl: My Brytani sense is tingling!
If looks could kill....
No, thank you, Cassidy.
We will, however, go on a date with Kayla.
...Or not.
Or...wait. Yes? Yes.
Axolotl seems completely oblivious to how sad Kayla is.
Axolotl: Hee! I'm on a date!
Kayla: It's not a date.
Axolotl: How about now?
Kayla: ...I'm leaving.
Axolotl: Wait! Come back! I was just joking!
Kayla: Oh! Ha! A joke. I love jokes!
Kayla: It's sarcasm. Get it?
...Why are you looking directly at me?
Somehow they became good friends.
Aaaaad they're so cute I can't help but direct Axolotl to try asking her on a date again.
Axolotl: Wanna go on a date?
Please never make that face again.
Kayla must be into Sims who are posessed, because she said yes to the date. They started out building a snowpal in the park.
Despite being Very Flirty, all of Axolotl's Kayla whims are super tame.
Kayla: Why don't you come over here and kiss me?
Axolotl doesn't need to be asked twice.
But...you just kissed her, silly.
Axolotl: I'd like to kiss you again.
They're so cute together. ♥
Today is Winterfest, and Axolotl came prepared with a gift.
Apparently she likes the snowglobe we scrounged out of a cardboard box on a random street corner.
I didn't think Kayla would be able to reciprocate, but!
A rose! That's so much better than the gift we gave her.
Does Dirk know Kayla's about to leave him? Because Kayla's definitely about to leave him.
Kayla: You know how I said I wasn't interested in joining your legacy? Can I change my mind?
Axolotl: YES!
I think it's safe to say Axolotl couldn't be happier about this turn of events.
Kayla, on the other hand....
Kayla: What have I done?
