This household hasn't been as dramatic as the first one. This household also lacks a Spencer and a Forest (Jerrod with his moonlit grilled cheese jogging brought the chaos, but not so much the drama). However, this isn't to say that things have been uneventful, so this is just a small* post to wrap a ribbon around the day.

*Turns out I lied.

Tiago's hoping that Mister will be distracted from any further claims of villainy by his delicious cupcakes. Good call, Tiago. Not everyone can talk and eat at the same time.

And this is when Delphine receives an attraction ping - from Caden! Much like Spencer in the first household, however, Caden keeps his behaviour friendly and doesn't act on it.

Someone feeling a little gloomy and left out is Mister. Mister, there was a spare seat at their table and yet you chose to sit all the way over there by your lonesome?

Fortunately Tiago has just the thing to cheer him up.

When I tell you that the instant he sat next to Mister, I groaned aloud and said "oh no, buddy, no..."

Yeah, we all could have told him exactly how that would go down. Caden however perceives Tiago's distress and makes a point of applauding him 🥲

Otherwise, dinner continues to be a merry affair for... almost everyone. Mister, I get that not everyone likes memes, but look. If your reaction were any more of a production, Ridley Scott would be directing it. I have him attempt to GIVE HIMSELF A PEP TALK.

Someone having a better night is Delphine, who gets the WHIM to ask Lilac on a date! This will count towards her points.

Having calmed down somewhat, Mister gets the idea that he should lead by example in showing Tiago something so much better than memes: claiming to be a CRIMINAL MASTERMIND! Clearly the superior form of humour.

(I love these looks on their faces afterwards - the kind of strained smile you get at a wedding when the best man has just made a really inappropriate joke 🤭)

Later on, more flirtations are exchanged with Lilac by Delphine (and Tiago), and Mister has an epiphany....

This lover of classic westerns knows just what he needs to convince everyone of his ruse - a black hat! Everyone knows that only the most dastardly of cowboys wear them.

And he isn't the only one experiencing a lightbulb moment. After a perusal of Beyond Big and Bad, Caden becomes a WEREWOLF ALLY.

Mister daren't risk more memes by sharing a room with Tiago - he's going off to sleep in the Shag Shed instead! While Caden cleans out Moojito's shed and Tiago finds a new audience (you wouldn't bee-lieve how much they love his memes), Delphine therefore snags the last BED CUDDLE of this household.

"Another that I would swipe right on, were this a dating app? Watcher, did you bang your head or something? She is très cute, isn't she - Minta? No, we're assuming it would not be you initiating the flirting. And yes, we know that you wouldn't penalise Delphine for being friends with Shay, because you have "class" and "play fair" - concepts that you're aware "certain people are unable to appreciate"... Uh Dodo, can you come 'distract' her for a moment? Either she needs to fight Shay, or make out with her - just a suggestion..."

Delphine Hubert - SFS

For @ethicaltreatmentofcowplants Simply Lilac BC. Her entry is below but since she is cc free (you will need the below packs for everything) I'm putting her up for everyone because I like sharing.

EDIT: Omg I forgot to mention she has a dolphin tattoo on her ankle because that's one of the meanings of her name Delphine!

Shay: Okay Delphine, finishing touches in CAS and you're all set! We just have to do the intro questions. Normally the watcher asks them but since I gained the paranoid trait I get to help her out

Delphine: Alright, fire away!

Shay: Tell me all the boring stuff I'd need to steal your identity. Name, birthplace, job and so on

Delphine: *laughs* I'm Delphine Hubert (the t is silent). You've probably picked up on my accent. I was born in France, stayed there through high school. I live in Chestnut Ridge now though, trying to start up a nectar business, being an Expert Nectar Maker is my aspiration, but I don't seem to be able to gain skills in anything.

Shay: Oh I had that! Don't worry, it passes

Delphine: I'm bisexual and biromantic. I'm a... forgive me English is my second language... cisgender woman? I use she/her pronouns

Shay: Oh my gosh me to! Are you human? Wait, what is this question? Of course she's human

Delphine: I am human but trust me, vampires are out there. Several nice ones live in France you know

Shay: I did not know that, weird. Moving on *checks notes* tell me some more about you. How would others describe you? How would you describe you?

Delphine: I'm doing my best to be a Rancher, really get in to the life of Chestnut Ridge. I ah, I am quite... what is the word... Clumsy? Oui, clumsy. I am also Creative, I enjoy making things you know?

Shay: So why are you applying? To you know get sent to the middle of nowhere

Delphine: *laughs* You are asking this? That is irony, no?

Shay: I know, I know, I'm still finding sand everywhere!

Delphine: *chuckles* Well Lilac seems like a- an impressive woman. She has done a lot for her short number of years, no? And très jolie.

Shay: Gossip time! Tell me some things you like, in others, to do, that kind of thing

Delphine: My favourite colours are green, brown, blue and purple. For fashion I like the country and rocker styles. I enjoy flirting and gossiping, and find I like others who are idealist or spirited. I really enjoy nectar making, and gardening which you need for that. I have always wanted to try horse riding to, and I enjoy cooking.

Shay: And what about things you dislike?

Delphine: I do not enjoy dressing in polished clothes. I find it hard to get along with others who are egotistical or emotional decision makers. I do not enjoy when other complain, or when they... deceive? Deception? Lie! I do like to fish. I also haven't enjoyed bowling or snow-boarding. I also do not enjoy playing video games.

Shay: Oh girl you got some cute outfits! Alright, what's on your gift shortlist?

Delphine: For me or Lilac?

Shay: *checks* To give Lilac

Delphine: Oui. Ah... I am a classic, will go with some flowers. Likely rose. She is a music lover? Maybe guitar, cannot fit a piano in my inventory. Then... oh she likes photography, oui? A nice camera

Shay: *sighs* time for the awkward questions... will you be comfortable flirting with other contestants?

Delphine: I plan on flirting with Lilac

Shay: Oh I am with you, go for the goal right! But say there are some other cute ones around...

Delphine: I may flirt with other contestants but I cannot see myself woohooing with them, or any NPC's. My goal is Lilac, no?

Shay: How are you with changes? Gaining new traits or- becoming an occult? Seriously?

Delphine: *laughs* I am open to changing my personality but I do like being a human so I will choose to stay human

Shay: Final question! Are you comfortable- oh come on! Seriously?

Delphine: There is problem?

Shay: It asks if you're comfortable flirting with the host, Araminta. She's got a guy! The one I was going for, don't tell me she's forgotten Dodo already. Anyway, this is about you, not me

Delphine: I would flirt back but not initiate flirting

Shay: Good answer. Now make sure you don't tell her we're friends or she's bound to penalise you for it. Good luck Delphine!

Delphine: Merci

Like last time, I have no pictures of cute animals to post, so let's start with a shirtless Mister and collect our daily flag. Love the look on Caden's face - "well, we won't be flagged because of me."

Tiago is just happy to be in the great outdoors and no longer around such a dastardly criminal presence as Mister - "...he's standing right behind me, isn't he?"

(Mister was actually complimenting Lilac's appearance, but let's pretend.)

For some reason, everyone is congregating around this one tile. Perhaps Tiago figures there's safety in numbers? Delphine shares Caden's skepticism about Mister's claims, and he's too busy locking eyes with Lilac to convince her otherwise.

And look, we are three for three in shirts! This is not a drill. For this momentous occasion (👕👕👕), Mister receives a hug of gratitude from Lilac.

Lilac is just vibing when she receives a text from Spencer. Naturally she declines, but that pixel is nothing if not persistent 😅

Next minute, we have a surprise and very unplanned guest. Spencer. What are you doing here? This isn't your rotation. And oh, the old "neighbourly gift" story - when you're currently loaded into a San Sequoia household and should not be able to visit anyway!

Barrel Bunny (or more accurately, Caden) soon send him on his way. I made sure that he and Lilac never interacted, so this little visit doesn't advantage him in any way.

But Lilac is not the only popular lady in this household. Our security woof-woof Lou Howell invites Delphine over to his pad! Men, Lilac, isn't she right?

Interruptions apparently done with, the rest of the afternoon settles into a more familiar routine of flirting with and serenading the bachelorette (and shirtless Misters). Even Tiago no longer seems concerned about the villainy in their midst.

At one point no-one is talking to Lilac, nor has any interactions queued with her. So as a kind of litmus test I send her back inside alone - and surprise! Caden is the pixel thoughtful enough to check on her. And flirt, naturally.

Caden then autonomously DISCUSSES HIS FEAR OF COMMITTMENT, and in spite of Lilac's hands on hips stance, the conversation goes well.

By now, I feel that his NON COMMITTAL trait no longer suits him. As there's no way to get rid of it short of proposing (which obviously isn't an option), I message @mdshh and ask if it's cool to remove it. So Caden is no longer a NON COMMITTAL pixel, but still has MATERIALISTIC as a negative trait in the context of this challenge.

Elsewhere Delphine is smart and strategizes, picking up a skill book to increase her chances of making it to the merge. Since skills will no longer count past that point, this is the last time anyone will be able to take advantage of them.

Later Tiago is showing off his moves in the kitchen - and Mister is once more insisting he's a CRIMINAL MASTERMIND. Mister, please! No one seems to like that joke anymore 😅

"Oh Watcher, how you spoil me. This one is going to be hilarious. With that interest in the big screen, it seems like you should have been on Mad About Dodo to meet Leonardo, Mister, but I see now that you're one of our token straights (don't worry, I'll protect you). I will call you 'Mister,' but it will take something else for me to call you 'Daddy.' Aaaaand Minta just choked on her tea, everyone..."

Mister Maxwel

For @ethicaltreatmentofcowplants Simply Lilac BC!

Name: Mister Maxwell. Yes, that means if you call him Mr. Maxwell you'll be saying his full name.

Age Group: Young Adult

Pronouns: He/ Him

Orientation: Heterosexual

Hometown: Chestnut Ridge

Occupation: Unemployed just living life but one day he'll be a big action start making millions.

Skills: Is flexing a skill? Otherwise, no skills at all!

Traits: Goofball, Party Animal, Self- Assured.

Aspiration: He wants to experience as many parties as possible. Is this a party?!?

Life State: A complete hunk.

Likes: Acting, Bowling, Fitness, and photography...alright that last one means he likes being in pictures as well as taking them.

Dislikes: Painting, he just doesn't understand it.

Gifts: He'd give flowers of course, he's not very original.

In Depth: Alright alright alright, it's time for me to take over and speak for myself. Actually, just scroll back up and check the pictures. Better yet, check the pecs, the biceps, and most importantly, the stache.

Done? If not, you can scroll back up and look at the pictures again. Do you feel it, the confidence? Of course you do.

I guess I'm supposed to put something about me here? I was born in a boring town, Chestnut Ridge, so I grew up wanting to get out of there and so spent most of my life going between Del Sol and San Myshuno. Usually I hit the gym in the day then find a party at night and I usually leave with a woman on my arm. So I'm not a one woman man but maybe that's what I need? I'm going to be a star one day after all!

Back home, it’s time to slip into a bunch of Star Wars characters for Goosebumps Day.

The Grim Reaper (Delphine) whips up some festive cookies, while Luke Skywalker (Avery) flirts with his sister (Lilac) - fortunately only in terms of costume. This is Simply Lilac, not Simply Lannisters.

Chore Montage Hour however waits for no lame franchise tie-in, so while Grim bakes, Luke paints, Some Blue Alien Thingy (Pauline) fishes - and receives a text that makes her blush? - while Hans/Fangs Solo (Sage) tends to the garden.

(Bonus shot of this random townie, slaying in a @sentate gown)

And this is either the worst (or best) costume to wear while making jokes about death to PARANOID traited Jerrod.

He got his revenge though.

But possibly there’s yet another romance brewing in this household, as the Grim Reaper then presents Just Jerrod* with a rose? Some of the first round housemates are getting chummy indeed.

*He changed out of his costume to work on fitness for chore montage hour.

It wouldn't be Goosebumps Day, however, without a scary movie.

No Jon Bon Pony, you have to leave. You’re too young for this. What would Struan say?

As the movie progresses, Fangs Solo wonders just what's so scary about the undead?

In spite of many face journeys throughout the movie, general consensus was that it was a clanger.

So it's time to feed and put the baby to bed, but not without some more merriment.

Bonus: Grim doing the graveyard shuffle.

Caden De Loughrey for @ethicaltreatmentofcowplants' "Simply Lilac"

Name: Caden De Loughrey Age Group: Young Adult Pronouns: He/Him Orientation: Heterosexual Hometown: Newcrest Occupation: Investor in business career Traits: Perfectionist, materialistic, noncommittal Aspiration: Fabulously Wealthy Life State: Human Likes: Horse Riding, Piano, Black Dislikes: Video Gaming, Fishing Gifts: Easel, lily, strawberry

Caden comes from a wealthy family - his father was a successful businessman, his mom an actress. Since early childhood he's been under his father's pressure to succeed in life and continue his legacy. He didn't have a lot of friends since he was always busy attending private school and extracurricular activities. His mom was a kind soul, that you can't tell about his dad. Being deprived of all electronic devices, piano was his only joy, he enjoyed making beautiful symphonies.

Now Caden is a young adult. He is a cold-hearted businessman and there was no place for love in his life. Until he decided it was time for a change. Maybe Lilac is the one he was searching for?

Watcher

Are you comfortable with your pixel person:

Flirting with other contestants? (The bachelorette will have the ‘player’ trait cheated and her boundaries set to no jealousy, so it will not impact your sim’s relationship with her.) [Y]

WooHooing other contestants? [Y]

Flirting with/and or woohooing NPCs?  [N]

Flirting with the host?  [Y]

Changes to traits via gameplay prompts? (ie. Evil to Good, depending on what your Sim does, or adding traits)  [Y]

After their bout last time, Lilac had just commenced a tickle attack on Caden when Mister decides to sit across from them while drinking a glass of milk. Awkward. Perhaps he's advocating the importance of calcium for bone-ing?

Still, Lilac is careful to give everyone some of her time - and is also starting an one-woman kiss-a-thon, by the looks of things.

First is Tiago, after SERENADING him in the garden.

Next for the "sing and smooch" treatment is Mister.

And then it's full circle back to Caden in the kitchen. Delphine got hers by the she-shed that morning - it's the early access tier.

Caden also helps out with the clean-up, which is something Lilac would otherwise especially mind, being a LAZY pixel.

Boink. Tiago is seeing stars, which is concerning when you consider that we're in Henford, not Del Sol - and the Watcher has that 'home regions' mod. The culprit is a ball from his inventory, which he must have 'borrowed' from that communal site in the first round.

Yes, a nice soak may be a good idea. Which now makes Caden the last shirt standing (👕👕👕).

For everyone else, it's socialisation in the lounge hour. Or making eyes at Lilac hour, if you're Caden.

Mister suggests to Delphine that she perhaps try some of the cursed candy which earlier brought him so much joy, but she's distinctly not amused by the idea.

Then it's Take Two for flirting between Delphine and Lilac! D'awww - look at that last one.

Over low-poly aubergine parmesan where Mister finally seems to warm to him, Tiago contemplates sharing the joy of memes. Sorry buddy, I don't think he's much into them.

Also once again we are two out of three for shirts (👕👕👕).

As everyone starts to wind down, I put Lilac to bed. With her SELDOM SLEEPY trait, she doesn't actually need to bunk down all that often. Still, who doesn't like BED CUDDLE? Certainly Caden does.

Welcome back to Day Three, where we kick off Household Two! Don't forget to hug a mini sheep and autonomously interact with the bachelorette 🫡

Tiago is the first to greet Lilac, while Caden is on breakfast (but seemingly still gets to appreciate certain assets later).

cw: moderate sims spice - guide to my warnings

So far we are three for three in terms of Men in Tops (🎵) but let's not mark ourselves safe from Tumblr just yet.

While breakfast is otherwise full of good food and high spirits, Tiago does struggle with impressing the Cool Kid (Mister).

Don't change a thing about yourself, buddy.

Also while I wasn't quick enough to catch it, I only realised that Tiago and Caden have never before been in a household together when Caden autonomously walked over and introduced himself with a handshake. D'awww.

Moojito is meanwhile holding a NO BOYS ALLOWED club at her she-shed. Stay away, anyone who isn't named Delphine or Lilac! No men. No men. None.

Lilac ends up talking about marriage of all things - then ooh la la!

I think Moojito approves.

Indoors, Lilac continues to be a pixel on a mission. While Tiago is still a little blue about his lack of success in impressing cool guy Mister, Caden gets his Lilac cuddlegram (and then a bonus jump scare). Fortunately spending so long with these gremlins means that the otherwise cultured Caden no longer minds MISCHIEF interactions.

Speaking of 'mind,' Lilac soon proves to have other things on hers.

Yeah, I think we Watchers have seen enough.

This means of course that everyone else gets chore montage hour! Tiago shares gardening duties with a BORED Mister (though they later get assistance from a bun-bun), while a significantly more enthused Delphine manages to avoid swimming with the fishes.

And as Mister autonomously started using the punching bag earlier, we are now one shirt down (👕👕👕). Two, if you count Caden's current state of undress.

Back indoors, Mister finds his own means of fun - and Caden becomes the first pixel of this round to get a Lilac whim! This will count towards his points.

She had a very good childhood, as her parents were wonderful to her, she was their little princess. She grew up surrounded by flowers, plants, trees, and animals, as her parents are farmers. All of this helped her develop incredible creativity, which made her want to be an artist when she grew up. Still, she loves to help on the farm whenever she can, especially now that her parents are older.

“Spencer - oof. I don’t even want to joke about this round being fiery. You make me laugh, even when I know that I shouldn’t. You clearly care deeply for me and have left me in no doubt that you came to play, but some aspects of your personality give me cause for concern. I’m ready to lead a slightly less wild lifestyle in the future, but I’m not certain that you’d be there with me. So are you a forever or a simply for now?”

“Mister, I have little in the way of notes. While everything else is going great though, your relative lack of attraction for me is a little concerning. I’m more attracted to you than you are to me, and normally I’m the hot one in the relationship! I’m kidding, I’m kidding. But even though we’re not each other’s usual types, I think we should continue giving this a chance - and I hope you feel the same.”

“Delphine. You’ve certainly made up ground in terms of romance, and I find you utterly charming. Those above you however have more sentiments with me, so perhaps the solo date next round will give us more quality time together. You’ve also flirted with two other contestants - and caught the eye of our security! - while still letting me know that I’m on your mind. Not everyone can pull that off. [wry laugh] Trust me, I know how difficult it can be to make multiple people feel special. See you next time.”

“Tiago - wait, aren’t I supposed to be the one gifting you something? Nevermind, gimme that.” “We always have a good time together, and losing your HOT HEADED trait has made us even more compatible. However you didn’t make the romance gains that I expected you to this round. You’re still very much in the running - just something to keep in mind for next time. I look forward to you making me laugh - and more - during our date.”

“Pauline, still steady as she goes. While you’re more reserved than some others, you’ve won every single one of your date competitions, and that shows you’re quietly determined in your own way. The difference between you and those ahead of you are romance levels and sentiments, so clearly we need to create some more great memories next round.”

how scores were calculated

Notes: As it would have been more realistic, I gave pixels another formal outfit during this ceremony. Behind the scenes, let's say a haute couture rental company is promoting - and encouraging Lilac's whole sustainability schtick.

I tried to stay true to their style, and their likes and dislikes. The only one who disliked their clothes was my ungrateful pixel - smdh 😅

Also if you see an asterisk next to a sim's friendship and/or romance score, that means they were among the first to max out those and will receive bonus points for them from Round Three onwards (unlucky Pauline just missed out). How many points they'll receive, I don't yet know, as I'll have to play through Round Three and figure out an amount which will neither overpower nor underpower them.

Jayla Madison for @ethicaltreatmentofcowplants' Simply Lilac Bachelorette Challenge

Name: Jayla (Jay or J for short) Madison Age Group: Young Adult (I would say around 25) Pronouns: She/Her Orientation: Bisexual Hometown: San Myshuno Occupation: Restaurant Rater in the Critic Career, Food Critic Branch (doesn't actually have this occupation set but it is what I imagine her having) Skills: None Traits: Foodie, Creative, High Maintenance Aspiration: City Native Life State: Normal Sim Likes: Black, Red, Dancing, Mixology, R&B Music, Pop Music Dislikes: Yellow, Gray, Fishing, Programming, Kids Radio Music, Baroque Music Gifts: Love Potion #4 Drink, Any Experimental Food Photo, Rejuvenating Facial Mask

Jayla has lived in San Myshuno all her life. She is definitely a city girl by heart. Being a contestant in this bacherlorette will be different than the life she is accustomed too but she is ready for take on the challenge if it means she can find true love with Lilac.

Jayla knows her way around the bar and can make all sorts of drinks which is the only thing she has used as a creative outlet but she isn't opposed to trying something new she can get creative with. She doesn't really cook since she finds it more convenient to get her food from the food stalls or from all the amazing restaurants she visits for work. Jayla is a high maintenance sim which means she puts a lot of effort into her appearance and small inconveniences seem to sour her mood. She loves having her nails done and likes doing skincare by using facial masks.

I hope Lilac will like her! I am never good at writing descriptions so I feel like what I wrote is lame but I hope it is enough to see what kind of sim Jayla is.

I have no cute solo pics of animals for today, so instead here's Tiago grooving with Jack-E-Chan.

Welcome back to what may well be the final day for some of these pixels! Yes, I know already who's going home - and I'm not saying anything, mwuhahahaha.

(I'm kidding. If you're anxious about the fate of your own pixel, message me and I'll give you a 'safe or no' answer.)

This morning's chef was Mister, who was cornered by a roving Lilac where she suggested that they... do an activity together. Yeah, what happened was that I'd already sent Lilac to bed when I noticed that she'd queued up an "ask for sex" interaction. Since everyone was asleep, I cancelled it and had her do an IOU the next day.

Elsewhere Delphine does not want a fruit salad for breakfast - she wants candy! Yeah, that's exactly what happened and not her making a CHEERFUL self discovery, mmhmm. After everything he's experienced here, a nearby glowing pixel does not bother Caden in the slightest.

Tiago persists with the memes - and fortunately finds a more receptive audience in both Delphine and Caden?

And yup, we are currently zero from three with shirts (👕👕👕). Will no one think of the children? Who will see much the same as this if they go to the beach, and who should be 13+ to access Tumblr anyway?

As he is the closest we have to a PROPER pixel, Lilac chats with Caden and tries to convince him at least to put on a shirt. Fine, Lilac - but he doesn't have to like it.

Tiago is manscaped for the gods and relieved that he wasn't asked to cover up, so he hugs Lilac in gratitude - and then pranks her? The pixels in this save once again making the most of me not having Lovestruck installed 😅 (Bonus: Caden in the distance going off to find a shirt and looking none too happy about it.)

Have shirt, will flirt? Delphine is determined to make the most of the last day before the merge and smooches Lilac not once, but twice!

Poor Caden was upstairs and missed the kissathon. Try to do the right thing, try to think of the children and find a shirt - and where does that get you? Nowhere. Watch him never do anything nice again! From now on it's exclusively stealing candy from babies and cancelling Winterfest. Fortunately Lilac makes it up to him by what I can only describe as yet another spectral reach embrace...

...and some sexy posing! Ooh la la!

If you feel that Mister has been quiet up until now, then well. The latest pixel in my save to CLAIM TO BE A CRIMINAL MASTERMIND, he's perhaps repeating this act enough for it to overstay its welcome as far as his housemates are concerned, where it annoys Delphine and alarms Tiago.

Caden merely looks indulgent. Would a real criminal mastermind go around telling everyone as much? Probably not, unless he thought that by making it so overt, you therefore wouldn't believe him and he would be beyond suspicion. Now that's some "sims are smarter than ever before" level thinking.

As Tiago despairs about such a rogue sort in their midst and the hardened criminal mastermind Mister showcases his raw genius via Rubix Cube, Caden continues to receive attention from the bachelorette.

With being from Tartosa originally (well, via Chestnut Ridge) and having acquired a liking for dance during the challenge, Delphine's date took place at a local lounge!

This was from the clean air but hey, at least it's something.

And this was... not from the clean air.

Legit wondering if Lilac and Delphine have somehow swapped bodies for the night. Normally my pixel is the lust forsaken one!

One hates her clothes (Lilac's Watcher can never do right) and the other has woo-hoo on the brain - or elsewhere, more likely.

Lilac did a CONFESS ATTRACTION for Delphine, which for some reason was met with this reaction?

This was also the Battle of the Conflicting Side Parts. There's a reason why I mostly take screencaps on Delphine's left.

And because there was less distance to be travelled (and traffic) on this lot, this was one of the few dates where the participants actually got to indulge in some datelike behaviour.

Naturally there were also some mischievous reactions. Lilac really needs to stop stealing moves from Dodo's BC Playbook. She's just lucky her Watcher doesn't have Lovestruck installed - pixels have walked out for less 😅.

Fortunately things wrapped up on a much more conventional note, with this gorgeous Tartosan sunset as a backdrop.

"Finally, another occult! You're lucky I left the four legged life behind, otherwise gameplay mechanics would dictate that we start as (im)mortal enemies. Still, enemies to lovers is a trope for a reason. The passion! The intensity! The drama! I see that to my admittedly limited knowledge, you're not at a high enough tier to be a daywalker like your father, but we'll keep you stocked in sunlight reversal cocktails - don't you worry. Just remember, we only nibble consensually in this household..."

CONTESTANTS (and that is everyone - we did it!)

Sage Graves-Vatore for @ethicaltreatmentofcowplants's Simply Lilac BC

Yeah, I'm taking another chance with ANOTHER Graves legacy spare after sending Tempest out to the Mad About Dodo BC ! I did say that Tempest would return home and brag about her experience lol. She definitely pushed her little sister into this one since her big brother Timber is married and other brother Benjamin isn't into women. Sage is her last hope. SO ANYWAY I hope you like her!!

Name: Sage Graves-Vatore Age Group: Young adult Pronouns: She/Her Orientation: Bisexual Hometown: Windenburg Occupation: eSports competitor  Traits: Kleptomaniac. Cheerful, Geek Aspiration: Computer whiz Life State: Vampire (prime vampire rank) Likes: Video gaming, photography, programming, dancing, S-pop/Pop music, the colors gray and purple Dislikes: Cooking, fitness, classical music, ranch music, the color yellow Gifts: Tamed cowplant skull, emerald, snowglobe (I forgot to add stuff to her inventory i’m sorry) Bio:  Often the most overlooked child in her big family, Sage has found solace in joining online communities for occults. Her brothers and mother are werewolves, her big sister gave up vampirism in favor of fitting in with humans and her father is… well, he’s Caleb. It’s lonely in this big world and she’s made it her mission to find like-minded people. It’s partly why she chose to pursue a career in gaming, to host livestreams and curate a little online bubble for those who enjoy video games AND monsters. She’s just a sweet, nerdy girl who probably needs to touch grass from time to time. This challenge may just give her just what she’s looking for in life, a chance to make more friends and disconnect from the online world that she’s clung onto for so long…and finding love along the way wouldn’t hurt either!

We receive a yoga cushion. If I’m able to set up what I’m hoping for in the fourth round, we’re definitely going to need all the mindfulness that we can get.

Early morning and a wild Sage appears. The Watcher has no idea why she was napping in a party bush when she has a perfectly good coffin, but I suppose she was doing no harm (though her vertebrae may disagree).

Fangs up, Sage. You’re also on cooking for the day.

We saw nothing.

Also having an uncomfortable start to the day was Delphine. The party bush must be the new black for this household because in her quest for a place of easement, she not only bypassed the ensuite but the downstairs toilet. 

(Spongebob Voice: It's been 84 years...)

It is the final day for this household and contestants were pulling out more stops than a traffic light. Jerrod and Pauline both got flirty, but it was lucky Sage who received a first kiss!

But it was Avery who popped the question, and now everyone else is partaking in chore montage hour. Jerrod and Delphine take care of the animals, while Sage assists Pauline in the gardening.

Jerrod and Pauline have both been enjoying some mild flirtation with Delphine (who between them, Lilac - and earlier Lou Howell - has really been bringing all the pixels to the yard this round), but evidently it was no luck for Jerrod, as his attempts earned him this self discovery prompt.

(I declined as it would have disadvantaged him too much, but it did make me giggle.)

Having much better luck is Delphine, who we see again (and again) with Lilac. Elsewhere Sage finds a kindred spirit in former fellow fanger Pauline, and Avery works on being this group’s artiste.

Per tradition we get a sweet treat (other than the one Avery had earlier) as our final meal of the household. But what is likely even sweeter for Sage is that she managed not to burn down the kitchen at all today.

Not taking their security gig as seriously as Lou are our black chickens, who once again let this fox waltz off with our eggs. Maybe Household Three will have roast chicken one night?

That’s not all, folks! The Watcher gets a notification that an egg is ready to hatch, and who better for the task than RANCHER Pauline?

I think this is an eggcellent way to close out the household.
