BEHIND THE SCENES | Gilramore, Sesley, Orillia

She may be the face I can't forget A trace of pleasure or regret May be my treasure or the price I have to pay

beginning | previous | next

In the solitude of their new apartment, Francesca feels the familiar sting of loss wrap around her heart. Each box represents not just possessions but the dreams and laughter that once filled their home, now replaced by silence. As she digs through the remnants of a life shared, the weight of unspoken words and unfulfilled promises presses down, reminding her that the journey to healing often begins with confronting the ghosts of the past.

transcript below↓↓

Numerous boxes litter the bare apartment. Rain pours from above, their new apartment doesn’t feel quite like home. None of their homes have… until their last.

Francesca puts the feelings aside, unpacking her literal baggage instead of her figurative.

As she starts unpacking a new box, Leandra walks in with another.

Lea] Are you done?

Fra] Not even close.

Lea] … What’s in here? (refers to the box she’s carrying)

Fra] Is that dad’s stuff?

Lea] Maybe? I’ll leave it here.

Alternate Fath] "Do a spin, Fran!" Fra] "I can’t!" Fath] "You can." Little Francesca attempts the spin but falls flat on her bottom. In the present, Francesca chuckles at her younger self. On the tape, her father laughs along with her. Fra] "Papa! You’re laughing at me!" Fath] "I’m sorry, pea. Try again." Fra] "NOO! I don’t want to do this anymore." Fath] "You can." Fra] "I still can’t do it!" Fath] "Just because you fail the first time doesn’t mean you’ll fail again." Fath] "Try again." Fra] grumbling She tries again, reluctantly. She skates around the block, her determination growing. She spins and spins, and then she’s laughing, her father’s laughter echoing with hers. Fra] "Papa, I did it!!" Fath] laughing "You did it." Fra] still laughing "You can do anything." [The home video ends there.] Leandra appears in the doorway, and Francesca turns to her, tears streaking her face. Lea] "When was that filmed?" Fran] "A few years before you were born." Lea] "He was a good dad." Fran] crying harder "…" Lea] "This isn’t just about Dad, is it?" Fran] "…" Lea] "Didn’t Dad always say you give up on things too easily?" Fran] exasperated "Lea…" Lea] "Don’t give up on your happiness, Cesca. Keep trying until you find it."

Leandra walks away, busy with her other boxes. She leaves Francesca with a box of their past. One Leandra herself isn’t privy too. Francesca ponders the beaten up box. The word “Daddy” written on the side. The word is foreign to her, the meaning long gone from her heart.

She inches closer to the box and opens it. Her fathers things. Some books, some papers, some cameras. Her dad’s old things. She ruffles through the contents, the smell of her long gone father in the air. She comes across a series of cassettes. The girls names written on them. She grabs her own, and pops it into their rickety TV.

It takes a moment to load, but it does to her surprise. She hears her fathers voice, it takes her for surprise after so many years.

Fath] Do a spin, Fran!—

Fra] I can’t!

Fath] You can.

Francesca attempts the trick, she falls flat on her but.

In the present Francesca Laughs at herself. And in the tape, her father laughs with her.

Fra] Papa! You’re laughing at me!

Fath] I’m sorry, pea. Try again.

Fra] NOO! I don’t wanna do this anymore.

Fath] You can.

Fra] I still can’t do it!

Fath] Just because you fail the first time doesn’t mean you will fail again.

Fath] Again.

Fra] (grumbles)

She tries again to her chagrin. She skates around the block, and does the move. She spins, and spins. She laughs, her father laughs.

Fra] Papa I did it!!

Fath] (laughing) You did it.

Fra](laughing still) you can do anything

[ Home video ends there]

[leandra stands at the door, Francesca turns to her. Tears staining her face]

Lea] When was that filmed?

Fran] A few years before you were born.

Lea] He was a good dad.

Fran] (crying intensified) …

Lea] This isn’t just about dad, isn’t it?

Fran]…

Lea] Didn’t dad always say you give up on things to easily?

Fran] (exasperated) Lea…

Lea] Don’t give up on your happiness, Cesca. Keep trying until you find it.

This scene ends. We transition to Laurie, getting ready to do another press conference. These have become tedious, the questions even worse. (show his displeasure)

Mediator] We ask you to refrain from questions that aren’t productive.

Journalists talking over one another.

1] Please, one at a time. One at a time.

Journal 1] Who is this mystery girl?

Mediator] Nope! Please refrain from these questions! You next.

Journal 2] Is it your decision to take a step back from public affairs after the rumors begun circulating?

Luc] It was not.

Journalists break out in speech

Mediator] You there!

Journal 3] Two weeks ago, there were some photographs of you and a young woman. What happened there?

Luc] She’s just a friend… A good one.

Mediator] You in the [color] shirt.

{show the outraised hand of the individual without showing their face}

Fran] Your Highness, Is there a chance where you two might be more than friends?

Luc](suprised) I had hoped their might be… But I don’t think so.

Fran] And what if–

Mediator] No, just one question–

Luc] Let her continue. You were saying.

Fran]… What if idiotic, stupid person realized too late. What if she begged you to reconsider.

Luc]…

Fran]…

Luc]… Yes… I’m pretty sure I would.

They meet again in a room in the palace, and poor their hearts out in a more private place.

screenshots of them talking. get the emotions. pictures are 1000 words themselves. (they share a look)

They meet in a room or hallway. They see each other. years of emotions and loss written over all over their faces. but also a love.

move toward each other like magnets, and collide in a wistful moment. Their love felt through the actions of the other.

The day is bright, the trees are swaying. We come up on a hill of sorts. [“She” by elvis costello playing in the imaginary cinematic background. ]

Francesca and Lucian lay on a bench. They bath in the sun, as birds tweet happily over the picturesque moment.

We see what lays in front of them, a small headstone lays in front of them. Flowers littering the small area. Their Julian laid to rest.

In the epilogue portion of the post, show a park or them walking hand in hand. Francesca leading him to the area where their child is buried. It’s a somber scene, but one filled with love.they rest there for a time, both of them seeking closure. They do one more thing, and then the camera pans to the sky, filled with clouds and a tree in the foreground.

fin.

at the end do a credit style thingy over the last few slides. to conclude the arc

monsters could only stay tame for so long

some dark forms 🥰 pt 1

[esotheria-sims]

The first day of the new workweek starts with a horde of customers flooding The Smithy the moment Tom unlocked the door. The guys could barely keep up!

Reporter Hannah Oshiro was also back (in a cute new dress!), and still as subtle as a sledgehammer in her 'secret' investigation of Tom's business. Unsurprisingly, Tom got another Good Review for his awesome work. One would think he was paying Ms. Oshiro, what with the constant praises she kept singing The Smithy! 🤣

Now let's take a look at what else is going on at the shop...

Great lighting going on here with their opposing auras. Also, the way Marcus & Aruena aligned! 👌🏻😂 You two are NOT being subtle!

Lucian (eyeing Rosalind): "My, my, what a stunning specimen!"

Roland: "Eh, to each their own."

Idk Roland, maybe DON'T sell the broadsword to a 14-year-old???

BEHIND THE SCENES | Alland, Romagna, Orillia

beginning | previous | next

The night unfurls like a well-worn tale as family cars glide into the courtyard, each arrival a thread in the intricate tapestry of their lives. Laughter dances through the air, warm and inviting, yet Lucian stands at the periphery, ensnared by a web of his own making. The faces of his siblings blur into a vivid tableau of love and familiarity, but within him simmers a storm—questions unasked, regrets unshared. He watches the unfolding scenes with a heavy heart, a silent witness to a joy that feels just out of reach.

transcript below↓↓

It’s a friday night, and Fiona and Liams clan is going to dinner together.

The night is crisp as cars start to pile in the courtyard. The family is back for their monthly get together. A tradition that started when all of Fiona and Liam’s kids started to build lives of their own. A traditions that keeps the connected. Especially since the older girls rarely attend the coffee dates Lucian and Lorraine so regularly frequent.

They are all familiar with the space of course. Having grown up in the palace for most of their childhoods. They arrive individually of course. Fiorella is the first, with her growing family of 4, soon to be 5 with the new edition prominently displayed in her person. She walks with her father, Her husband and sons trailing behind them.

Next to arrive is Flo’s family. She is also a very pregnant individual, and carrying her son. Dorian is with them as the walk through the doors into the dining room. Some of them are already sitting at the table. Florentia gives her toddler to the nanny to keep him occupied during their meal. She walks up to her father, and kisses him on the cheek while he continues chatting with Aleksi. Dorian goes to give Fiorella a greeting, standing behind her chair as she looks up at him in pleasant greetings.

We then see Lucian arrive, not long after Lorraine walks up behind him. She grabs him and holds him back from entering the room for a moment. It might be a bit awkward because the footman is standing there as well, but so is regular royal life. She whisper shouts at him.

Lor (from afar)] Luc?!

Lor(pulling him)] Come with me.

Lor] What’s going on?

Luc] {exasperated} Lorra

Lor] You haven’t picked up my calls! And I read the articles…

Luc] You know better than th—

Lor] I told you not to pursue this!

Luc] Maybe it’s none of your business.

Luc] [Angry] I can’t listen to this right now.

Lor]scoffs Lu-

He walks away into the dining room, Fiorella dogs on Him as he walks in.

Fio] You both are late.

Luc] It’s her fault.

Fio] laughing Clearly they’re lying.

He goes to sit next to Florentia and Dorian. The conversation continues now that he’s there. Florentia whispers to him and dorian looks over at him as well.

Flo] I’m so mad, we only ever hear from you in the news!

D] It’s not really news, is it? More so Tabloids.

Flo] That’s worse! Shocking, isn’t it? What’s true, what isn’t?

Lor] He’s involved with some girl.

Luc]annoyed Lorra-!

Dor] We know that. Even if she’s not actually— uh, what would you say?

Flo] — Committed, people love the jump to conclusions. You’re not gonna tell us?

Luc] Flo exasperated.

Fio] Won’t you give us what we want?

This is the time when Fiona walks into the dining room. everyone has been waiting for her. The stand up at attention, and when she gets to her seat and sits, they all follow suit.

Fiona] Honestly, both of you. You’d think you were paid to argue.

Liam] They’re young, Cara, can’t help it, can they?

Lor] I know, dad! whiny

Fio] You’re twenty-four Lorraine. snarky

The different conversations continue one. And dinner has also been served. Lucian watches sort of detached as conversations whiz around him. Fiona and Fiorella are talking about possibly sending Finnick to a boarding school in another province. Lorraine and Dorian speaking about Cars. Lucian observes it all.

Flo] Why not Gordonstoun?

Fior] Finnick wouldn’t like it in Drossel. So far away… Too cold, It’s a bit far for a boarding school.

Fion] [serious] is that not the point?

Lor] I finally got that spyder we talked about.

Dor] The Porsche?

Lor] What else? she’s a beauty.

Dor] Just how much are you making in that company of yours? Can’t have business at the table, but If I can convince you to sell me a share or too…

Lor] You’re interested?

A few hours later, everyone is leaving. They are full, and want to head back to their homes. They vow to make it to the next monthly dinner. They all will. As Florentia starts to break away from the group, Lucian calls out to her. She tells him that Dorian went to pick Leo up from the nanny

Luc] Hey Florentia!

She stops and turns to him.

Flo] I’m waiting for Dorian. He’s picking Leo up as we speak.

Luc] He’s cute.

Flo] laughing you’re talking about Leo, right? Because if not, we’d have a serious problem.

Luc] laughing as well…

Luc] Are you happy?

Florentia contemplates this for a moment. She is in her second trimester at this point, and what else could she say.

Flo] It gets tough. Work, family, marriage… it all takes its toll. And the compromises! Sometimes it feels like too much. But even so, they’re what bring me the most joy.

When she says they make me happiest. Show Dorian and Leo in the distance of a hallway, waving at their person. Lucian and Florentia look at them from afar. Standing still now instead of walking.

L]Francesca and I… we’re done.

F] Oh, Luc… I’m so sorry.

Luc] "I feel helpless… I don’t know what to do anymore."

Florentia listens intently as Lucian begins to share the story of what Francesca told him, his words tinged with regret and pain.

Luc] "She told me everything, Flo… and I didn’t even see it. I didn’t know… I wish I could’ve. I could’ve done something… anything."

F] Lucian. [softly, disappointedly]

She speaks to him tenderly.

F] I don’t know this… Francesca, but I do know you.

She touches her stomach

F] It’s unimaginable—the pain, the torment. They say a child is a blessing, and that one was yours.

She touches his cheek.

F] If you truly love her, go to her. Set aside your pain, the loss, the betrayal—everything. Think about what she’s endured…

F] "A woman so alone, scared, in a world that feels too big."

F] "Her walls are high, but be the one she might lower them for, or at least the one she could open a door for. Be the one she’s been waiting for."

He pulls her into a hug crying, he kisses her on the cheek. She hits his arm slightly annoyed, but also smug.

L] crying Love you, Flo.

F] Go, don’t wait longer!

Dorian and Leo walk up to meet them in that hall. Dorian gives Leo over to Florentia , florentia with her arms open and kisses grabs at him, and he cooes at her. Lucian stares at them for a moment.

At the end of the post, he goes to Francesca’s apartment. Fully ready to have a strong reconsiliations. but when he knocks on the door, no one answers. He goes to look through a window, and he gasps. We then see that the apartment has been cleared out. They’ve moved out.

"RESOLUTIONS" the part 1 finale of Lykaia season 3 is out now.

🖤 new episode here | full series

[themeasureofasim]

The next morning, Onyx and Alexander play for a bit before breakfast.

Lucian fixes the piano I didn't know Mortimer has broken.

Mortimer: Thank God.

Alex is going to see his friend Desdemona at school later, but he couldn't wait to tell her all the new things he'd learned about astrophysics.

Alexander: Did you know that the universe expanding rate is accelerating?

Mortimer receives another visit from the white wolf, but the pack leader is still missing.

Mortimer: So sad :(

[esotheria-sims]

Despite having her own pillow, the couch, the bed, and basically every available surface in the house at her disposal, Cassiopeia still chooses to sleep on the floor next to the central steam boiler. Don't ask me, I don't know either. It's a cat thing, all right? Let's say she likes the heat from the boiler.

Meanwhile outside, an influx of visitors was beginning to pour in. As Dominick was at work, Cass decided it was her duty to keep tabs on everyone. Some were able to slip her attention (like Prince Feanor), but then she planted her butt on the edge of the lot so she'd have a clear view of any new arrivals.

And when someone new did inevitably come by, she'd greet them by pouncing and then demanding attention. The unsuspecting sims found themselves baffled, yet unable to resist the charms of the odd, hairless critter.

Who could say no to a face like that?? 🐱
