Hashima's Dollhouse

The morning of Challenge 2 we find Dominic up doing push ups and sit ups after a horrible night sleep. And when I say horrible he pretty much only napped because he refused the Watcher directed sleep interaction on any bed that wasn't his and kept getting up. And why was he sent to other beds besides his own?

Because Filomena and Kishi took his bed last night. (this has only been pointed out because I personally thought it was funny. All the sims are assigned separate beds but everyone wants the big bed).

While Dom starts breakfast, Rowan has decided he is taking too long and is making her own.

So . . . Apparently she made a salmon avocado burger for breakfast . . . wouldn't be my first choice honestly but hey! You do you!

Dom and Rowan talk for a while, she offers him a rose and a neck kiss, before he goes off for a jog. (I told him to call everyone to meal but priorities I guess)

Back on the lot (why didn't you spin back into the outfit you were wearing before you went for the jog?) he finally does as The Watcher directed him to do and sits down to eat breakfast. With lots more flirting with Rowan.

Lilly is the next one to wake before the alarms and . . . has decided to eat on the run . . . alrighty then.

Back on the lot, Rowan has gone off to shower so Dom started dancing. Filomena and Kishi are now awake and the three of them are talking and flirting (Dominic is talking to them even though he isn't facing them, I tried multiple times to get him to turn around at least but NOOOOOOOO). Lilly also returns from her morning jog to join in on the conversation.

Some more romance going on with this group before sending everyone off to fill low needs meters.

Kishi had already left the group to go hang out in the tub. This poor mermaid is having a much harder time in Selvadorada than Coral did.

Cathrise has arrived to give everyone the rundown of the challenge and away they go!

Please excuse the routing error that is causing Lilly and Rowan to try to morph together

Kishi is the first to find anything but it's bone dust so not a winner.

Filomena is next with a clump of dirt! Time to figure out whats hiding in there.

Rowan follows soon after with her own clump of dirt to uncover, but instead of uncovering it she goes off to talk to Lilly

EXCUSE ME! Watcher intervention time. GO UNCOVER YOUR ARTIFACT!

Lilly also finds her own clump of dirt and is sent to find out what's inside.

Everyone is focused on their artifacts but what could they be?

Filomena is the first to uncover hers: A knife worth §61

Lilly is next with a mask worth §62! So far she'll get a bonus point unless Rowan has something more valuable

Rowan finally uncovers hers (and apparently The Watcher AGAIN! didn't hit the right button to screenshot or somehow deleted it) and she too has a knife worth §61 so to the skill level we go to see who has won this challenge!

And the winner is . . .

ROWAN!!!!

"It was good right? We were watching the feed, tried to stay out of the way this time. The two of you seemed extra cozy dancing."

"Yes, Mari, a very good date but it took us a bit to get that gold medal."

"Why?"

"I don't know. Just weren't saying the right things I guess."

"Well you got there in the end and that's all that matters."

"Guess you're right."

Mariela sits down beside Dominic on the couch. "Anything else you want to say?"

"Not particularly. It was a good date, we had a nice meal together, I liked our conversation. Nothing crazy to speak of just a very good date."

"That's all we can really hope for, right?"

Dominic just nods in response.

"We're not looking for crazy or miraculous, Dom-Dom, we just want you happy and I don't know if you've noticed it, your sister definitely has, but you are definitely happier and getting flirtier as the rounds are progressing. Your Hot-Headed trait hasn't raised it's head in quite some time or it just hasn't been noticeable and if I didn't know any better I'd say it's been swapped for the cheerful or romantic trait."

"No it's still there, I've denied the change with each group. If all the participants were supposed to have a negative trait why would I change mine? Maybe when this is all over I can accept the change."

"There is that. Even Kaye and I had ours for 'Dating Deanna'."

"Please don't ever lose your Cringe!"

"I was told you didn't like our Cringiness."

"TOGETHER! Separately you and Ev are awesome but the two of you together is another story entirely."

"Well you're stuck with the two of us. Maybe we'll add another mini Cringe or two."

"We're all screwed if you have Cringe kids."

"Just imagine all the BlicBloc dance parties we'll have!"

"I'd rather not. I'm going to go spend the next few hours with the group now. Give the boys my love. I guess Kaye too."

"I'm sure my Kayby will enjoy very much knowing she was an afterthought."

"Compared to the kids? Always, and she won't mind at all. If you three do add any kids to the family she'd do the same to me. Now off with you!"

"Yeah yeah yeah. Bye Dom."

After Mariela leaves it's time to see what everyone is up to

Filomena is using the telescope, Kishi has made food for everyone, Lilly is researching Fitness techniques and Rowan is checking the weather forecast

Dominic talks to Filomena for a while and then Rowan when she comes down when her show is over. Rowan then goes to watch some more TV (honestly the most fun item on the lot so can't blame her especially when she's still being bothered by her red moodlets) but Dom stays with Filomena.

Kishi then joins in on the conversation (Dominic is not an Alien, Kishi keeps reading everyone's auras and apparently his is green now) and Rowan is back once more for more conversation.

Catch Filomena giving Dominic a kiss

and then everyone finds the Thumbs-Up! game.

Soon enough it's the end of the night and time to go to bed

Relationship levels at 11pm

Lilly Friendship 100 Romance 100

Filomena Friendship 100 Romance 100

Rowan Friendship 100 Romance 100

Kishi Friendship 100 Romance 22

For Lilly's date Dominic chooses to take her on a Lunch/Dinner date (I say dinner because even though the challenge ended at 1pm sim time the pair didn't load in to the restaurant until 3pm)

They had a very good conversation while they waited for their first course.

When their appetizers arrive they finished them very quickly and Lilly went in for a Mistletoe Kiss.

Some more conversation including hyping each other up (I think . . . they were both just super excited and jumping around) next to the table until the main course arrived.

Dom even formed a crush!

After putting in their dessert order, Dominic and Lilly move to dance on the bridge.

One of the other patrons is looking at them like "But there's no music" but neither of them seem to care.

Some extra photos of them dancing just because

With the notif that their dessert can not be delivered (even though their table is clear) and no matter how much the two of them talk the meter is not going up I may have to call this one done at the silver level.

Excuse you! Get back here!

WAIT! Your dessert is being delivered! Alright I may have spoke too soon. We have a few minutes left on the timer let's see what happens.

They really do get along and their one on one conversations are always good.

OMW! FINALLY! Cutting it a bit close there don'tcha think?

@simstagramsomeone

And if anyone thought he wasn't bothered by family this time . . . think again
