S1 10 "Word on the Street"

Laila gets a cryptic text and sees a TMZ post that hints at a major break; Brook brushes off her “situation” with Riot—again.

Note: There’s a 6-month timeskip between this episode and Episode 9. I’m reimagining the series a bit from here , think of Episodes 1–9 as Chapter 1 of Laila and Brook’s move to the city, with Episode 10 and beyond kicking off Chapter 2. A few things have been retconned due to save file issues :( and because I wanted a fresher take moving forward, without scrapping everything.

Laila’s Simstagram #4

beginning | previous | next

S1 E9: “SINK OR SWIM"

Laila first day at the prestigious MYSH is a trial by fire. Greeted by the blunt receptionist Kendall, she’s warned about the high expectations and unyielding demands of Miranda Slater, the company’s ruthless CEO. After a brief pep talk from Kwame, Laila faces Miranda, who makes it clear that her last name won’t protect her—only her talent will and that at MYSH , only the strongest survive.

*Series Synopsis [New episodes every Mon. and Wed.]

Note: I lost the original save file again :( hence the delay. I was able to restart everything in a clean save and tweaked Laila design. Laila and Brook also moved into a bigger house-stay tuned for the tour! Miranda Slater is a combo name borrowed from Miranda Priestly (Devil Wears Prada) and Wilhelmina Slater (Ugly Betty)

A/N Transcript ↓

[Kendall (receptionist)] (sigh) God, how is it only 9am? I’m so hung over

[Laila]: Umm..hi. I’m looking for Miranda Slater’s office

[Kendall]: Oh yes, Ms. Blackwell right? Welcome to MYSH. We’ve been expecting you. Let me just pull up your profile

[Laila]: Yep! Thanks, I’m excited albeit a bit nervous

[Kendall]: That’s to be expected. One of our fashion editors, Kwame will be out to escort you. Go to elevator bank “B”, he’ll be out shortly. He’s in a meeting at the moment

[Laila]: Okay, thank you for your help

[Kendall]: Ms. Blackwell, word of warning, Miranda Slater doesn’t make exceptions and doesn’t repeat herself. You either sink or swim at MYSH

[Laila]: Noted. I’ll keep that in mind

--------------------------------------------------

[Kwame] : (into the phone) Yeah, no, I’ve got those color samples you requested--just need to tweak the green to match the mood board. Actaully hold on Jade, I’m getting another call

[Kwame]: Kendall, what’s up?

[Kendall ] (V.O.): Kwame, the new hire is here. She’s in the lobby near elevator bank “B”

[Kwame]: Ah, okay. Got it. I’ll be over in a minute

--------------------------------------------------------

TEXT Nico: You got this. I’m cheering for you! Good luck, babe. ❤️ Laila: Nerves on a 100% ngl but I’m going to power through 😅 Nico: They don’t get to decide your worth. Don’t forget that

[Kwame]: Kwame Akah. Pattern maker, colorist, lead designer for the Fall 2024 collection. Sorry for the wait.

[Laila]: Laila Blackwell. New Fashion Textilist. It’s nice to meet you.

[Kwame]: Blackwell? Wait a minute...Blackwell Enterprises? Any relation?

[Laila]: (awkward) Yep...Sean Blackwell’s my dad

[Kwame]: Well, that just bumped you up to second-coolest person in the building—after me, of course

[Laila]: Of course (laughs)

[Kwame]: Look, I know Kendall out there probably gave you the full initiation—she’s got a thing for scaring the new blood—but we’re good people here, mostly. Miranda… well, she’s a character, but you'll figure her out. In time, you'll read her mood like a traffic light.

[Laila]: Not gonna lie, I was freaking out a little. Everything here is so... grand. It’s a lot to take in

[Kwame]: Yeah, MYSH has a way of making everything feel ten times bigger than it actually is. But hey, remember this—MYSH only hires the best. You wouldn’t be here if you weren’t top tier.

-------------------------------------------------------------

[Kwame]: Her office is down there to the right. Just... breathe. Miranda doesn’t bite—before her latte, that is

[Laila]: Right, right. Got it

[Kwame]: And if you need a lifeline, you know where to find me. Welcome to MYSH.

----------------------------------------------------------------

[Miranda]: (on Zoom) No, I don’t care that it’s a “technical issue” Janet. If the website down during a fashion week launch we’ll lose half of our clientele. Get it fixed now

[Miranda]: Who ever is knocking incessantly, come in

[Laila]: Ms. Slater. Laila Blackwell. I’m—

[Miranda]: I know who you are. Have a seat

[Laila]: It’s a pleasure to meet you, Ms. Slater

[Miranda]: Let’s keep it simple. Miranda is fine. You’re the new associate designer, yes?

[Laila]: Yes, I’m in the textiles and fabric department

[Miranda]: Good. We don’t need slackers here. This is MYSH. We move fast. We demand excellence. And we don’t make exceptions.

[Laila]: Of course, Ms. Slater—sorry, Miranda

[Miranda]: Kwame, who I see you’ve already met, will get you situated. If you’re still standing after a week, I’ll know you have what it takes.

[Miranda]: And Laila... if you ever think for a moment that MYSH is just a stepping stone for you, let me be clear: it’s not. We are a world-renowned fashion house, not some second-rate tabloid, and I expect you to hold yourself to that standard. The Blackwell name will only take you so far

[Miranda]: Understood?

[Laila]: Understood.
