Chapter 2.2

It would appear their celebration had a bit more of an effect than they had planned. Lucia is pregnant! Thankfully they decided to go ahead and have the wedding party the next day.

The couple were the picture of lovelyness on their special day.

Both families were in attendance, including some friends of the couple. Everyone was thrilled during the ceremony.

:swoon:

Alas Gaia forgot to feed the cowplant before the ceremony, and he managed to lure one of the guests away (I later learned it was Lucia’s father Ezekial who fell for the allure of the cake).

Lucia was pretty proud of herself, she baked the wedding cake this time around. Everyone seemed to enjoy it.

The party was a smashing success, and Darwin and Lucia enjoyed the quiet afterwards.

Lucia grew to enormous proportions very quickly, thankfully she had Gaia to help her out. She also continued to write like a madwoman during this time.

Darwin did his part as well, working diligently to repair anything that broke in the house.

Darwin: Careful there Ma, you’re gonna take an eye out with those knives.
Gaia: Nonsense. I’ve had plenty of practice and you and your sister were never injured in the process.

Lucia: How’s the painting coming dear?
Darwin: Great! How’s the bun in the oven?
Lucia: Going to come out to say hi any minute now.

Darwin: Wait, you’re in labor? Shouldn’t we like…go somewhere? Do you need towels? Hot water?
Lucia: Go back to painting. I’m just gonna read in my jammies until this is over. Chill.
I love how totally nonchalant mom sims are now about the whole birth thing.

During this is when I noticed that the cow plant had died. Considering how many times it had eaten the household, even with regular feeding, I wasn’t too upset.

That evening, little Irwin joined the household! Keeping with the famous naturalist theme, he is named after my childhood hero, Steve Irwin.

Gaia was thrilled that she got to meet her grandson. She had fond memories of little Darwin and Caroline at this stage. She would spend much of the next day with the baby. And yes, that is a fork stuck in her hand.

Active Lucia had been going nuts during pregnancy, and was determined to drop that baby weight as quickly as possible.

She did have to admit, getting to go jogging alone while Darwin took care of the baby was nice.

Thankfully, Darwin was a perfect dad in every way. He was super attentive to little Irwin.

Darwin: How do you like that painting Irwin? I painted a playful painting just for you!

Lucia: I can’t believe it’s my birthday already.
Darwin: The guests should be here soon. I think you look as young as ever.

Chapter 2.1

It doesn’t take much to convince Lucia to come hang out at the legacy homestead. Darwin shows her some of his paintings hanging in the workroom.
Lucia: You’re an artist…you know it wouldn’t take much to get this house really up and running.

Darwin: You know, we should go out on an official date, Lucia.
Lucia: Ooo, a real date Mr. Natural? I would love to go.

Lucia of course fancies herself up, and the two go down to the Rattlesnake Juice Bar, where they chat it up good.

Darwin decides to take a leap of faith, thankfully Lucia is feeling similarly. They share their first kiss!

Darwin: So, we seem to feel the same. Wanna make it official and add the girlfriend/boyfriend title to the whole thing?
Lucia: Heck yes I do!

Things of course got more heated from there, but Darwin, you should learn to watch for nearby surfaces before doing the swooping kiss. I can’t imagine the concussion.

Darwin and Lucia are up late into the night enjoying their date, and the next day Darwin invites Lucia over, with the intention of her meeting his mother and inviting her to move in. Unfortunetly, it would appear he did not get enough sleep the night before.

Thankfully, Darwin managed to ask before he went off for a nap, and Lucia Canfield joins the household. We discover she’s got the bestselling author aspiration, which gives her the muser trait. She is also a snob, active, and gloomy. Because she lived with her family off-world, she doesn’t bring any money to the household. Her family gets to move on up and is added to the neighborhood in a house near Caroline’s.

The next morning, Lucia gives herself a makeover and spends some time with Gaia.
Lucia: I hope you don’t mind me moving in and all that, Gaia.
Gaia: Oh no I love it! It’s been so empty here since Elvis died and Caroline moved out. I’m excited to have lots of people over again!

Gaia: Now, I hope I’m not being too forward, but when do you two plan to…um…
Darwin: Mom, we haven’t talked about it yet. Don’t worry.
Lucia: I want to invite my family over for a dinner party in a day or two, Mrs. Natural. I want the whole family to know each other!

As promised, Darwin and Lucia invited her family over for a dinner party! Gaia made a wonderful Shrimp Cocktail and Lucia worked on a side salad. Lucia’s mother Valeria was excited to meet Gaia and Darwin. I don’t know why Lucia’s brother Jameson was stomping his way in, but he turned out to be a nice guy.

Darwin was thrilled to get the chance to regail Valeria with tall tales (he’s constantly confident with Lucia around, since they’re both snobs)

Jameson and Lucia’s father Ezekial escaped to the back garden to eat, though of course Caroline had to follow out and say hi. She seems to like what she sees in Jameson…

Lucia had lots of energy to burn the next day. She was overall pleased with the party with her parents (for which they got a silver medal).

She was a bit surprised when the Grim Reaper trotted in, chatting with the folks at the treadmills.
Grim: Keep runnin! I can add a day or two of breathing room to my schedule if you guys stay fit!

Apparently Grim practices what he preaches. He’s gotta stay bone thin somehow.

Meanwhile, that night they threw another party, seeing as Darwin is a partying fool. Unfortunetly, a lot of his friends are also getting quite up there.

Darwin, however, did have another motive for this party, and as it was in full swing, he got down on one knee and proposed to Lucia.

No one was surprised by her resounding yes.

And of course, as soon as the party goers were gone, they celebrated in their own way.

Chapter 2.0

Darwin’s first mission after a piece of cake was to go out and meet some more sims. He wanted to meet 10 new people and have five friends, it was time to get on it!
I was excited to see Simself make an appearance. Her and Simhubby had a daughter who I have yet to see wandering around.

Of course, making friends isn’t Darwin’s only task. He knows he needs to find a gal. He had zero luck finding anyone as a teen (seriously there are like no teens in the nieghborhood I swear). He chats with several gals, but doesn’t seem to hit it off with anyone.

The next day Darwin heads to the lounge in Oasis Springs. Unfortunetly, it appears to be a meeting day for the grey hairs in town!

The poor girl’s comedy routine got a big dampening when one of said grey hairs decided to keel over right there! Of course, this set of a tide of pouty lips and wimpering sniffles. I don’t even remember the guy’s name.

Grim: Okay, you there lady are tomorrow at noon, sir I’ve got you pencilled in for a two thirty reaping, Ponytail guy…gonna have to squeeze you in at Midnight, try not to be in the bathroom, okay?
Grim has his hands full with the town’s massive aging population.

Thankfully there are still a few youngin’s around.
Darwin: Thank God, a girl who’s knockers aren’t down to her knees!
Josephine: What does that mean?
Darwin: Uh, I mean, Hi!

Everyone was reeling still from the death of random townie number seven, so Darwin decided to throw a little house party at his place.

Darwin of course was in his element surrounded by new people to get to know. Caroline also showed up, though I’m not sure why she’s throwing major shade at the moment.

It ended up being quite the shindig. Even Gaia had a good time socializing and dancing, though she felt a bit embarassed picking the same dress as Caroline.

Caroline: So, you guys know he’s looking for a Legacy spouse, right? Josephine I think he has his eyes on you.
Josephine: Yeah…which is great, he’s a nice guy, but I am not looking forward to telling him I become an elder in a few days.
Caroline: Oh. Awkward.

Darwin: Heeeey ladies!
Josephine: Wow seriously, you’re a goon.

Darwin has been hard at work painting, and I quite like how this one is turning out. He ended up hanging this one next to the easel.

Gaia continues to gather the last few plants missing from her collection. She’s been waiting for these tulips to get big enough for ages.

While out shmoozing at a bar, Darwin runs into my Simself’s daughter. The game named her Rose, which I approved of. She is going to be off limits to Darwin though, cause that’s just…creepy.

Thankfully Darwin hits it off with this lovely lady, Lucia. Darwin finds out quickly that they’re both snobs, and so he’s constantly confident with her.

And it seems the fates enjoy the pairing, as Lucia turns up at the bar again the next night.
Darwin: Hey, you know we’ve ran into each other twice now, it must be destiny!
Lucia: Right?! Spooky!

Darwin: I have to warn you, we’re a legacy family…rules and kids and all that jazz.
Lucia: Really…You know Legacy families tend to be LOADED…
Darwin: We’re only in Generation Two, not so much yet.
Lucia: Eh, we can fix that.

While Darwin seems to have finally found the one for him, Gaia continues to miss Elvis despirately. She likes to visit his grave every morning before she makes breakfast. (and several times during as well…I’m constantly chasing her back to the kitchen). Darwin also makes a point to visit his dad every day.

Realizing that Gaia is getting up there, and getting ominous messages from Grim, She uses her substantial aspiration points to buy a potion of youth. She really wants to be able to see and play with her grandchildren, dangit.

Gaia: This tastes like talcum powder and old milk.

And with a new vigor, Gaia finally finds a cowplant seed! (actually, she finds two, as the first seed glitched the heck out when we tried to plant it).

It doesn’t take long before the tiny adorable sprout grows into a massive beast. Thankfully, he’s easy to keep happy with a bit of hamburger every few hours. (Or, as it will turn out, constantly eating the inhabitants of the household, though I have yet to catch him at it).

Chapter 1.6

Caroline was sad that her dad missed her birthday. Becoming a young adult was a big deal!

Gaia tried to not let it show that she missed Elvis terribly, but she often went and sat alone in the bedroom.

Caroline: I feel so bad moving out so soon after Dad left. You and Darwin will be all alone…
Gaia: Now now, just because you’re moving up in life doesn’t mean you can’t come visit often. Dad and I will always be here.

Caroline, just as promised, moved into a new Bank of Motherlode house down by the Sylvan tree. I attempted to build a tiny little victorian place, but not sure I succeeded, lol. But it has lots of room to entertain and practice music.

Gaia: So how do you like your new place?
Caroline: Oh Mom it’s perfect! I can’t wait to throw a good party here!

Gaia: You’ll come home for Darwin and my birthday, right?
Caroline: Duh, of course mom! Here, lemme get one last picture with you before you’re old and wrinkly!
Gaia: Watch your mouth.

Gaia ran to the glade while she was in the area and finally got a cutting of one of the cherry trees. One more plant down!

True to her word, Caroline was there for Gaia and Darwin’s birthday. Gaia went first. She aged up gracefully as she had finally completed her Botanist Aspiration the day before.

Darwin went next, ready to fulfill his duty as the Gen Two heir. He rolled the Snob trait.
Gaia: BWRRAAAAAAAAAP
Seriously the vuvuzela made me die in my chair.

Chapter 1.5

Thankfully Darwin didn’t stay trapped in childhood for long.
Gaia: Did you say you wanted Chocolate cake sweetie?
Darwin: Yes mum! And make it look like a hamburger!
And I wonder why the whole family is battling weight issues….

And a hamburger cake he got. (Seriously EA, HAMBURGER cake??)

Don’t mind the grump face. He’s just hating that sweatshirt. But look at his hair! Gaia’s hair did pass down, which means Darwin is officially the heir to the legacy!

Darwin rolled the Good trait, and he also rolled Party Animal for his adult aspiration! This gives him the gregarious trait as well.

One quick trip to the mirror later, and Darwin is looking much better.

Gaia: Now Caroline, I hope you’re not too upset about not being the heir.
Caroline: Nah, Darwin will be good at it. And I hear something about a bank of motherlode loan for those who move out…

While making breakfast for the family one morning, Elvis gives me a good heart attack. We haven’t had a fire in a while!

While the kids freaked out, Gaia sprung into action and quickly put the flames out. This of course would leave the entire family in a terrible mood for the rest of the day.

Darwin wanted to meet some new folks, so he dragged his sister to the library. While she took a nap on the settee, Darwin chatted up several folks, happy as a clam.

Darwin got an easel for his birthday, and decided to get to work painting. This is a playful painting, by the way.

Gaia’s garden is her pride and joy, and she finally hit max level gardening! There’s only a few more plants she doesn’t have.

Another fire, and this time with Darwin! Thankfully Elvis was right there and put the flames out before it even singed him.

Darwin wasn’t phased by his brush with flames, and decided to start working on his handiness skill. He’d heard that a full handiness was needed to break into the mines in Oasis Springs.

Darwin was quickly able to make furniture as well as sculptures, though doing it with a spoon was proving difficult (stoopid stuck object).

Gaia: Do you think I should make gnocchi or…Elvis…?
Elvis: Oh…don’t…I’m just…tired…

Grim: Well, These Creator folks have me busy now. Let’s see, Elvis Natural…never completed that romantic aspiration of yours…got stuck with one broad, poor guy…

Gaia: Please! We’re…we’re not ready for this yet! He won’t get to see his grandchildren!
Grim: Fine, get up before you get stuck down there.

Elvis: I’m…I’m back?
Grim: Yep. Your lady didn’t want to let you off the hook yet.

Grim: Sorry to bug you doing…whatever it is you living do…but you know, I’ll be back in like, a day, right?
Elvis: Yes I know. I’ll…I’ll talk to them.

Elvis spoke with the family, telling them that it was his time. He then tried to hack as much money as he could, hopeful to leave them with more. Unfortunetly, his hacking skills left a bit to be desired.

Elvis managed to say goodbye to the kids just before he left. Darwin and Gaia managed to be strong, but his little girl Caroline just couldn’t handle it and sobbed the entire time.

Good bye Elvis Natural.

Chapter 1.4

Gaia is becoming quite the cook. She’s even starting to dabble in Gourmet cooking. Though I’m not sure why pancakes need to be flambe’d.

She’s also still collecting plants she doesn’t have yet. Thank goodness for grafting as a lot of these plants seem to never be ready to harvest.

I was itching to revamp the house, so while evryone was out for the day I redid the house. So much easier now to bulldoze a house and rebuild. Her garden is in the back.

Another birthday is here, so Gaia happily whips up a cake.

And who is the lucky birthday sim? It’s Caroline! Ready to become a teen already! Gaia tried to hold back her tears at her little girl growing up.

Caroline grew up into a gorgeous little rebel. She decided she liked music, and wanted to become a famous musician. She also gained the Romantic trait. Look out boys!

Of course, Caroline still takes her big sister duties seriously, and was happy to spend her birthday party playing chess with Darwin.

During her adventures gathering new plants, Gaia finally befriended the tree over by Crick Cabana and made her way to the beautiful Sylvan glade. I have a feeling she’ll be going here often.

Alas, the plants here were all sprouts and couldn’t have cuttings taken, so Gaia fished in the pond a bit, catching a rare Treefish or two. She vowed to come back and recheck the plants later.

Caroline got a violin for her birthday, and was instantly told she had to stay in her room with it until she improved.

That night, Elvis surprised us with his birthday. I felt awful that he didn’t get a cake.

Darwin: So now Caroline is a teen and dad is old? Who will I play with now?

And in case anyone is curious what a treefish looks like…

Poor Elvis was so upset that everyone forgot his birthday. I had a bit of a laugh though at the sounds he was making while crying under the covers.

Thankfully Gaia was around to remind him that he was still loved. Caroline tried to ignore the PDA.

Caroline had no interest in toys anymore, so Darwin took to playing at the kitchen table while Gaia was cooking. Action Man ended up being one of his favorites.

Elvis realized that his time on this earth wasn’t long, and he started spending mornings with his family, often getting up before everyone to make pancakes. (Also someone in this family has a very bad habit of leaving glasses of juice and milk everywhere to rot)

Caroline tried to make Darwin feel better about her being away, and took him to the park. Of course, the light was perfect for a selfie. Duck face and all.

Caroline decided to practice some more, and even though she’s still a bit…green, she did make some tips from her playing!

Chapter 1.3

Before anyone knew it, the new baby arrived. Little Darwin was a welcome addition to the family (named of course after the famous Charles Darwin).

Gaia was glad to get back to work on her garden unfettered. Thankfully Darwin was proving to be an easy baby. Gaia was also quickly gaining gardening skill.

Caroline took to her big sister duties with gusto. She adored Darwin and spent as much time possible talking to him.

Caroline also spent lots of time sitting outside chatting with Gaia while she worked. (Yes, she and Elvis love to both sit on that bench and chat with Gaia, it’s adorable).

Elvis made sure to get out of the house ocasionally, his favorite hangout was one of the bars downtown. No drama here though folks, even though he fancies himself a flirt he is nothing but devoted to Gaia.

In fact, with two girls at home, Elvis mostly is happy chatting with other guys.

Darwin ages up into an adorable red (??) haired scamp. He gets the Rambunctious Scamp aspiration, and inherits Gaia’s Love of the Outdoors.

Darwin immediately starts exploring the area around the house, finding frogs and gems to help pay for his new bedroom.

Darwin: So, you mean you can meet new people at school?
Caroline: Of course! I’ll introduce you to all of my friends on your first day!

Caroline is the picture of a perfect big sister.

Darwin wants to be smart like his big sister, so he gets to work on the new chemistry set to build his mental skills.

It seems everything in the house is breaking all at once. Elvis swears that his next promotion is going to pay to upgrade some appliances.

Caroline: Mom said she needs to go gather some more plants, we should go to the park with her!
Darwin: Are there monkey bars?
Caroline: Oh you don’t even know, the parks here are AWESOME.

Gaia took the kids over to the park in Oasis Springs while she looked for plants they didn’t have yet. Darwin was over the moon on the monkey bars.

Caroline: Load those gravaton torpedoes faster Mr. Darwin, The Space Worm almost has us!
Gaia: RAAAAWRGLEBLARG
(Seriously this interaction cracks me up every time)

Back home, with new cuttings and some pooped out kids, Gaia went to work making her birthday cake. Yes, she was already becoming an adult!
Elvis: You sure you don’t want a party dear?
Gaia: Nah, besides, I haven’t worked off all this baby weight yet.

Indeed, Gaia wasn’t wanting for much for her birthday. Her garden was coming along swimmingly, she had two beautiful kids, and a wonderful husband. Her only wish really was to lose a pound or two from around the waist.

Gaia and Elvis are indeed the cutest couple ever.

Gaia: There’s breakfast in the kitchen dear.
Elvis: Just a sec, need to finish stress testing this mod…Why does he phase through that wall??
Elvis is doing great in his job as a tech guru by the way.

Have I mentioned I love that reading to kids is back?

Chapter 1.2

Married life started with a bang when, while daydreaming making breakfast, Gaia caught the stove on fire.

While Elvis unhelpfully screamed from the hallway, Gaia took matters into her own hands and put the fire out.

After the harrowing incident, Elvis took it upon himself to stay by Gaia’s side for the rest of the day. He didn’t think that much excitement could be good for the baby.

Gaia’s pregnancy progressed normally, including cravings for chocolate chip cookies. She got QUITE large, which concerned Elvis and the Controller that perhaps there was more than one kid in there…

Of course the baby waited for Elvis to leave before it decided to arrive. Poor Gaia got through her labor like a trooper though.

And with triumphant fanfare, the first child of the Legacy is born! She is named Caroline, after Naturalist Caroline Dormon (I decided to name the kids after famous scientists who studied nature).

Elvis of course took on his daddy duties quite seriously. Which was good, as Gaia was worn out from pregnancy.

This pic just makes me melt.

Gaia of course also takes Mommy duties very seriously.

Caroline grew up before we knew it into a darling little girl! Kids can’t have Mom’s hair color, so it’s still to be seen if she has mom’s hair or not.

She gained the Whiz Kid aspiration. She also got the genius trait (I’m using Pinstar’s randomiser tool for their traits).

Caroline got a nifty chess table for her birthday, and promptly began trouncing anyone who dared play against her.

She definitely wanted to be good at everything. I love watching them draw at the table! She was particularly fond of using glitter.

Of course, Caroline also liked to play pretend with her big stuffed dragon. Especially since she was currently an only kid.

Caroline: Daddy, I’m sleepy.
Elvis: Almost done sweety. “And then the octopus wrapped it’s arms around the ship, scattering the sailors everywhere…”

Thankfully, it turned out Caroline wouldn’t be an only child for long, Gaia was pregnant again! Thankfully Caroline took the news well and was very excited to have a new sibling.

With a new sibling on the way, Caroline decided to get to work learning some motor skills, so that she could teach her baby sibling a few things.

Of course, playing around with new friends is also important.

As is learning how to man a spaceship.

Chapter 1.1

Gaia’s garden is really taking off! Her first harvest comes before we know it. (Also do you dig her alternate everyday outfit with that adorable hat? Cause I do 😆 )

The wild plants around Gaia are also starting to grow to maturity, and she snags some strawberries, snapdragons, and lilies.

Gaia loves to garden, it’s usually her first whim for the day. Even in her pajamas. Though that just shows off the muscles she’s been building doing all that collecting! Girl’s got some guns!

Gaia noticed Elvis walking along the path behind her house, and jogged over to say hi and flirt. In her pajamas. Like you do.

Elvis: Dang girl, you have got some GAMS. Have you been working out??

Gaia: Me? *teehee* no, just lots of gardening and digging. You like?

Elvis: Me very like. 😉

They continued to chat, and suddenly Elvis swooped her up in a hug (yes, autonomously!!). Gaia of course loved it. Yep, she’s found her One.

Gaia decided to get herself dressed and trotted off to Oasis Springs to look for some more plants. Alas nothing was ready to harvest.

And this is where the game ate a bunch of screenies, but she met Elvis at the Rattlesnake bar, and invited him to move in. Stoopid game.

It turned out that Elvis had been one of the town Gardeners, and came with a decent 20k to use for a real house. It’s small, but usable.

Elvis, it turns out, is an interesting guy. He has the Serial Romantic aspiration, wanting to go on lots of dates (of course, with my game being glitchy about travelling). This gives him the alluring trait, and he is also a goofball, a bro, and a geek. I go ahead and put him in the Tech career since we need some more income.

While he has a whopping 9 points of gardening skill, his other skills leave something to be desired.

…not that Gaia can talk.

Gaia is quite the collector at this point. She’s found lots of rocks and trophies that are usually immediately sold.

Of course, Elvis and Gaia make sure to take time for dates to the bar. Where of course they can’t keep their hands off each other.

On this particular date, Elvis decides he can’t take it anymore.
Elvis: Gaia, you make me the happiest man in the world. Marry me please?

The answer wasn’t so much of a yes as it was a squeal of delight.

Gaia: Are you sure you want to do this tonight? I am a little…ripe from the garden.

Elvis: Of course I do! I’ll just…breathe over here…
The smell didn’t stop them of course. 😉

A couple of days later, the two decided to have their own little private party for the wedding. (Mostly because they didn’t have the 1k simoleans to throw a wedding party. Seriously, it costs simoleans to party now??) They also decided to go for it because they had discovered that morning that Gaia was pregnant!

Gaia’s wedding cake of course came out perfectly. (I LOVE this new feature!)

Gaia’s garden made the perfect backdrop for their vows. Elvis and Gaia were thrilled to start their life as Mr. and Mrs. Natural.

Chapter 1.0

Welcome to the Natural Legacy! I started this legacy shortly after Sims 4 launched, before Pinstar got his rules up. I started posting this legacy on TheSimsDaily.net, back in September. I will continue to post there as well. This is not a strict rules legacy. I won’t be counting points. I just want to see if I can get the family to ten generations!

Inheritance for heirship was originally whoever had Gaia’s green hair, but this proved problematic in later generations because you can’t tell when they’re kids. In that case, I switch to opposite gender of that gen’s founder.

Let’s jump in, shall we?

Gaia Natural has moved into Willow Creek, snapping up a recently bulldozed giant lot. With all of…100 simoleans to her name!

Gaia is a Freelance Botanist, which gives her the collector trait. She is also a Foodie, loves the outdoors, and is Good.

The public spaces around her home are surrounded by a lovely river. She tries her hand at some fishing, but the fish seem to outwit her for now.

There is a nice walking path, which has several small wild plants around it as well. Those will come in handy later. It is also apparently a popular spot for random pushups…

Gaia will need money quickly, seeing as how she’s got none of it, so she gets to work gathering up some of the local collectables. She manages to find two of the MySim trophies, which of course are promptly sold.

Wanting to know more about gardening, Gaia heads off to the library, where she sits down to read a gardening book. She also strikes up a conversation with this Tom fellow.

Gaia: Well I was gonna tell you all about this great scheme I had Tom, but some fogey stole my chair!

Gaia: Hmm, reaching my hand blindly into this log probably wasn’t the best idea…ooh look, frog!

Gaia and I can’t help but swoon at the beautiful scenery. And yes, she still is getting outwitted by fish.

It seems the only way to get seed packets is to have a gardening spot, so we use some of Gaia’s limited funds to buy a pot. Now she’s got lots of seeds to plant! Get crackin’!

Gaia is bound and determined to catch SOMETHING. And finally, after some fighting at the park she catches…a box. It has a random item in it! At least she was able to outwit the box, but still unable to catch any fish.

You would think random hotdogs in the park wouldn’t make a great instagram photo, but I could be wrong.

Luckily Gaia had done enough gathering and digging over the course of the day to buy a fridge. Now she can have cereal and yogurt instead of hot dogs! Though she lacks a place to sit.

Unfortunetly she still lacks a bed. Thankfully there is a bench down by the river across the road, so she sleeps on that her first night.

Gaia still has a desire to actually catch something, so she heads to the park early to give it a shot. All she catches is the Swamp Monster’s Toupee.

Lots of trying and different spots later, Gaia finally catches her first fish, a Perch! No more being outwitted by fish!

Not having a bed is putting a real cramp on her style though…looks like she’s not the only one needing to resort to naps in the park.

Another day of gathering later though, and Gaia can afford a bed! It even doubles as a place to sit while she eats her cereal.

Gaia heads down to the library to read some more about gardening, and meets this dashing gentleman, Elvis Black. A few jokes in and they’re chatting like old friends. He even sends a flirt her way, have we found our first Legacy Spouse?

I love that she can drink milk and eat chips at the same time!

Gaia heads out to hit up the bar to meet more people, and of course who wanders in but Elvis? He looks cute in this outfit too.
