Strangetown extras: Off to college we go!

[strangetomato]

You'll get to see Jill and Buck in university in the next chapter, but I just got them set up there tonight, and I wanted to share a couple of pics right away. I thought I had enough willpower to keep it to myself until the update, but that sort of evaporated when the cutest thing happened autonomously, so you get a sneak preview.

That's right. The fish came too. *grin*

Buck got himself a flattering new haircut (or did he cut it himself?), and he's wearing one of my other favourite things about Kitchen and Bath: the argyle sweater! I have so much love for that outfit, and it's perfect for Buck. Just perfect.

The apartment that I picked just happened to be the perfect shade of purple to match Buck's stuff too. He loves it.




And here's Jill. I think she grew up cute. She's completed her funky new look with a striped jumper-type dress (with more green, of course) and some cool boots.




Hey, I can see Johnny, Ripp and Ophelia's apartment through the window! I can even kind of see that llama crossing road sign on the wall. That's a pretty high level of detail.




And this is what I just had to share with you: autonomous serenading! *heart melts* Buck is just too sweet. He gives me cavities.

No, he's not proposing, but I'll let you in on a little secret... he immediately rolled the want to do so. :) Buck is sweet. (And I locked the want. I usually do for those big ones.)

Nobody knows about Jill and Buck yet, so they're sure to get some interesting reactions. I can just see Johnny now:

Johnny: What is it with these GRUNTS?! They're like a pack of hungry wolves after my sweet, innocent little sister.

Jill: Hey, I'm not as innocent as you think, okay?

Johnny: La, la, la... I don't need to hear this...

Buck is adorable! Jill is lucky to have a guy like him. She's a romance sim, right? (Or maybe family sim?)

I'm pretty sure Ripp is going to be all, "Yeah, that's my boy!" Tank would probably just give some passive aggressive sigh. Does Buck know that Jill(Gah, I keep typo-ing Jill and writing Kill instead.) kissed Ripp?

Hey, atleast she chose Buck out of all the Grunts, if it were Ripp or Tank, I think Johnny would probably have a panic attack.

Jill is a knowledge sim, actually.

*snicker* Yeah, Ripp would be pleased to hear that Buck is getting lucky, and Tank be a little bummed out about the alien thing, but he'd be nice enough about it. I think that Jill would have told him about Ripp by now. He knew about the crush anyway.

Yeah, Johnny might decide that Buck is harmless enough (but little does he know...).

Wow, really? I always thought she was a romance sim, because she was so quick to get into a relationship.

I actually thought Ripp already knew about Jill and Buck's relationship, I thought Buck would tell him, since they seem close enough.

Yeah, I can see how you'd think that, but she has a sort of knowledge sim approach to it all, with wanting to hurry up and learn about it already, and all that. And her dealings with Ripp and Buck weren't really all that quick anyway. She pined away for Ripp for years, and she was already friends with Buck. Jill will begin to seem more like a knowledge sim in university.

Ripp and Buck are really close, but I think Buck has been keeping it quiet, just like Jill has, to ensure their ability to sneak around in the Grunt house.
