Round 1: Lum 1–Dumbfounded

This  entry is going to be 99% Story Progression updates because the Lums did nothing. They are the most boring family to date. They are so boring they barely rolled any wishes. So, I have a few pictures from their day and then a boat load of SP notices.

Lily had a Medical career Opportunity that required her to hunt down Eugene Hunter and  convince him to support her on some issue regarding labs. Eugene is the police officer that came to investigate the Bakers’ burglary. I have no idea why she would need to convince a police officer about a hospital issue.

Anyway, Lily caught up with Eugene at Barney’s Salon and Tattoo where Sabrina and Rhett Funke were getting makeovers. I like Sabrina’s new outfit.

Rhett…no so much. Taking fashion advice from Buster Clavell? What’s wrong with you, man?

Lawrence had a Romantic Interest in Bebe Hart, so I had him invite her over. She tried to flirt with him, but he wasn’t very responsive. He also rolled no wants for her, so I’m not expecting this relationship to go anywhere. Lawrence Dislikes Children anyway, so I don’t care if he settles down or not when he’s older.

And that is it for the Lums. On to the good stuff…

First up, the baby boom continued:

Samuel and William are the last two names on the “Popular Boy Names in Australia” list. The next ten boy names will be coming from the “Popular Boys Names in Austria” list.

 

And the first name goes to Gwen and Cycl0n3’s son. Welcome Lukas Glover-Sw0rd. I was getting nervous about Gwen’s pregnancy because couples that had gotten pregnant after her were already having their babies. I thought I was going to have to pop into their house early to see what was going on.

A girl was also born this round.

We are still on the Australian list for the girls. Grace is a pretty name. I would use that if a friend’s daughter didn’t already have that name.

Tamara’s new baby wasn’t enough to keep her marriage together.

Tamara isn’t the only newly single woman. Gee, Fiona, two Gigolos, two divorces. Do you see a pattern here?

If Talia and Torgo get married, I’m going to have to make them playable. Talia is my favorite townie, and who couldn’t play a family named Pendragon?

And that brings us to Hank. Hank, Hank, Hank… what on Earth were you doing this round? Keep in mind that the following updates all happened within a five minute timespan in real time.

I am a Hank and Pauline shipper.  What would their couple name be? Pank? Hauline? Anyway, I am always disappointed when I see them hooking up with someone else. I like to think that what Hank did this round was caused by his insane jealousy.

Araceli? Who is this biznatch, and why did Hank leave Pauline to move in with her?

Oh, that’s why. *sigh* Baby mama #2 for Hank. He and Pauline are fertile, just not with each other.

I swear, this notice came less than a minute after the previous notice. He moves in with her, knocks her up, and breaks up with her! But he’s not done yet, ladies and gentlemen.

What in the-? Why on Earth did he move in with Jamie? She’s still married to Connor! Can you say “awkward?” I’m just dumbfounded by this, and that’s what I’m going to call this chapter.
