Chapter Forty Seven - A Travelling We Shall Go Part Two

Since Austin had completed both opportunities within a day, he had time to kill. So he decided to have a bit of a wander around the place, meet and greet people and spend a couple of uncomfortable nights in a tent at Base Camp.

This didn't stop him getting up to his old antics though.

DOWN WITH VAMPIRES!

Austin? Whatcha doing?

Protesting.
About what?
Supernaturals.... DOWN WITH FAIRIES!!!

That. Is. Your. Wife. You are talking about. You'd better hope that Shannon doesn't get wind of this protest or there'll be hell to pay!

Yep, I left him alone for five minutes and this is what he does!!

He got bored with that, and decided to play games on his tablet.

He was stinky, there was a shower nearby.
But what did he do?
Yep, a sponge bath.

Oookay.

As he gets along just fine with some of the locals, the usual gossiping etc.

He also discovered that not everyone likes him.

What do you mean my kids are disgusting?
This Sim Dislikes Children.

However, she was like a magnet. He was determined to befriend her if it killed him, so he pursued her in other ways.....

.... like pillow fighting.

 However, as the day drew on, Austin started feeling hungry. He didn't fancy anything that was in the fridge. So he decided to grill some food on the fire pit.

Sausages .... and cabbage??? Or is that lettuce????

 That's quite a mouthful there Austin, sure you can manage that?

Nom nom nom nom.

Chapter Twenty Six - Drama at the Rally, and a Little Archery

Well, someone made good use of that 'snuggle' area I'd created for Austin and Shannon (when he FINALLY asks her to move in that is)

I'm waiting for the opportune moment here!
Oh really? And when will that be? When the two of you are elder and can't start a family?
*Austin splutters into his coffee, almost choking it down*
WHAAAAAAAAAAAA????
Seriously, I've never seen such a long courtship in all of my personal Simming history.
Anyways, I've been busy!
Doing what?
Protesting.
Again?
Yep.
What for this time?
Big Foot.
For or against?
Against.
Why?
When do you ever see him? And why doesn't he pay taxes like the rest of us?
O-kay, didn't see that one coming.

Anyhow, there WAS some drama at this rally.
One Sim decided to get into a dust up with a police officer whilst Austin was rallying the troops.

She got whupped, but it didn't stop her from picking up her placard and joining in once more!!

Austin won this one too!
Ohh pretty balloon.

Oh and if anybody's asking. He was working undercover at the restaurant, hence the chef's uniform (he's really getting around the town isn't he?)

He didn't make it all the way home and collapsed exhausted .... at the 'snuggle' area.

So yeah, someone else made good use of this new area.

Whilst he'd been shopping, he purchased a couple of herbs and since I hadn't a clue what herb did what, I got him to eat one of them. Sadly, it was one that boosted his studying power. Shame really. Could have saved that one for his university trip (if he ever got around to wishing for that one)

He wished to take a long hot soak in the bath. Unfortunately he only had a shower installed, so I replaced it with a bath.

Ahhhh heavenly.

And two last pics for you.
I placed the The Duke of Bows Rennaissance Fair lot (found in the Store)

Looking good!!

And sent Austin to play around with the  Archer's Gauntlet (only available when you purchase the Duke of Bows Rennaissance Fair lot.

Looking cool there! Maybe I should give him a little makeover? Make sure he blends in with the rest of the town now instead of standing out?

Meh. I love his individuality.
