Norfair and Brinstar Smith got settled in their new home, the old Curious house. Brinstar had the day off and is a romance sim who didn't have much, or any, romantic experience so I decided to let him ask someone on a date. Cappuchino Neighbour was the best option as they had good chemistry and a decent relationship score, so Brinstar called him over.
Then, just as I was about to click something, a chance card for Norfair appeared and my clicking registered as choosing an option which resulted in him losing his detective's license i.e getting fired. I gave him his job back with the Sim blender since I didn't have a fair chance to even read the card, but nevertheless Norfair came home in a bad mood and desperate to socialize. Fortunately neither Brinstar nor Cappuchino minded him hanging around during their date, Norfair and Cappuchino even randomly hugged at one point despite them not knowing each other that well, and the date was a success. Brinstar also finally became friends with his older brother Sugarpie, who he's been wanting to befriend.
The following day both Norfair and Brinstar had work. The morning started off with them hanging out in Brinstar's room. They had a conversation that turned sour, but immediately after it, Brinstar who was the one who had started the disagreement gave Norfair a hug, and in the same vein one of them appreciated the other right after having reacted negatively to a dirty joke. They're so jovial, Brinstar even had a little smile on his face trying to shoo his twin out of the bathroom while the latter was just standing there laughing at a silly decoration.
Their brother Sugarpie Caliente went to hang out at the music & dance hobby lot. He joined the dancing competition but the hobby instructor won. There were three downtownies who caught his fancy: Mr. Big, and two guys called Téodor and Christopher, and he rolled wants to date all three of them. Mr. Big is straight and involved with The Diva though, but he had a good talk with Téodor, and as for Christopher he cut straight to the chase and gave him a peck on the mouth. Sugarpie wished for beauty from the genie once and it got stuck permanently, so now everyone who likes guys is all over him.
Back at home, the toilet needed clogging and the plants tending. A guy called Armando walked by and Sugarpie thought if he gave him some attention he might be willing to help him out. He couldn't talk Armando into doing his chores for him, but Sugarpie turned out to find him very attractive, so after some playing catch he asked him on a date and took him to the Strangetown pub.
The day after that he called over Christopher for a date at his place. He had to decline a second date with Armando, as well as an outing with Téodor.The date with Christopher consisted mostly of them dancing with each other. I don't think I've ever seen two sims dance non-stop for such a long time, at least not when it's not the smustle. Then things got awkward because even though the first interaction they ever had was Sugarpie kissing him, and he had just been kissing him up the arm and such, apparently Christopher drew the line at getting stroked on the cheek. But the date still ended well, because Christopher was just so honoured to get to unclog Sugarpie's toilet, and then he went outside and started trimming the bushes while he was at it. Which also kept him busy so that Sugarpie couldn't argue with him as he tried to do.
During the two dates, Sugarpie rolled fears of falling out of love with two of his lovers, and a want to marry a third. One could argue that unless he earnestly intends to have multiple partners, he should probably decide who he wants to take it further with instead of adding more and more romances to the list, though I do wanna see how he gets on with Téodor, too.
Honeybunch Caliente, Sugarpie's twin brother, had just come home and was standing outside his house when Andreas Tinker walked by. Honeybunch is a social guy so he invited him in, and then I noticed there were roaches, so I was just about to direct Honeybunch to spray them when Andreas started spraying them on his own accord. He even got a bunch on the road that I had missed. So then there was nothing for Honeybunch to do but cook some Crêpes Suzette to show his gratitude, and now the two are close to being friends.
The next day he had a date at one of the Downtown parks with a downtownie named Alex. Ripp Grunt showed up at the park too, and when Alex was busy playing chess with another visitor, Ripp gave Honeybunch a kiss and a squeeze which made them fall in love. Alex didn't notice anything, and neither did Mrs Crumplebottom. She did catch Alex and Honeybunch kissing though, and really let Alex have it. As for Honeybunch, perhaps she remembers the stand-off the two once had, when she kept yelling at him for being in his swimwear, while he just as stubbornly rolled his eyes and refused to change. After a brief break at home, Honeybunch went out again. He had the want to invite someone on an outing, and Alex just so happened to be at the same place so he could ask him. His best friend Tessa Ramirez was there too, but she was lost to the world playing poker with Mrs Crumplebottom.
The next day, Honeybunch went to another Downtown park and played Mishuno with Lazlo Curious and some townies. In the evening, he went to the karaoke bar, and who were there if not Sugarpie's dates, Armando and Christopher. Turns out Honeybunch has chemistry with them both as well, so he sat down and had a drink with Christopher. He's got no reason to know Sugarpie's been seeing him after all, and Christopher probably doesn't know Sugarpie and Honeybunch are related. From his perspective, he just happened to run into two pale, freckled, cheekboney guys with unusually sweet names in the span of two days.
