Behren: Call Adrien for a Good Time

Bought Spa Day (this chapter originally posted May 12 2016), and wasted no time in getting some of its new features to the Behrens.  Luke, in particular, really seems to enjoy it.  I suppose he has nothing better to do, anyway. Maybe he’ll stop moaning and groaning and clutching his back all the time x)

As for me, I really love watching him. I miss focusing on this guy!

And then there is Adrien, who figured there’s got to be a better way to get to pollinating without having to travel around to meet these people so he can invite them over. He’s been watching Cam’s Adventure Club, and wondering about clubs in general, and has discovered that woohoo is an actual club activity.

Thus begins the Love Club.  He doesn’t even have to have a relationship with these sims to drag them off! They’re willing, for the club points, apparently. Call Adrien for a good time, says the club description. 867-5309

Suffice it to say, Adrien is very proud of himself for figuring all this out, and the pollinating is so much easier now. Not only that, but there is far less guilt over Marci since romantic feelings with other women don’t need to be involved this way.

But still… poor Marci often finds herself locked in Luke’s bedroom, unsure of why or how it keeps happening.

“Just take a nap!” Matt bellows through the door when he hears her calling for help.

That’s when it dawns on her that other women are here.

And Adrien gets to work.  He moves quickly, from one to the next. He does perform a few small romantic moves just to get them in the mood before he pulls them to wherever suits his fancy. (The blonde girl is Ariella Caliente, Nicole’s mother, Dina’s daughter! And the red jacket girl with pigtails is Hunter’s sister, Katlin Galvez.)

Some of them make it easy….

Others not so much.

“Right through this door,” Adrien tries to coax Moira. “You’re sooo close.”

“Please,” Moira says in disgust, throwing a hand up in his face.

Adrien gives up on this one. For now, anyway.

Luke also makes a club.  It’s called “Still Alive.”  For Elders only.

Activities include Yoga, Meditating, Gardening, and Cleaning.

It’s so good.

And also so sad, seeing sims like Olivia and Alexander are now old and nearing the end of their lives. Luke will never forget his first day in Willow Creek when Olivia marched over and knocked on his bathroom door.

In the evening, as Christine is helping Cam with homework, Adrien joins them with a bowl of cereal. “Where’s Matt?” he asks. “I feel kind of funny today.”

“Computer,” says Cam. “You all right?”

“I think so.” Adrien catches a whiff of rotten hot dogs and says, “You guys aren’t eating these, are you?”

“Of course not,” says Christine. “Everyone’s just too lazy to throw them away.” Which is true. Even Matt, who is a neat sim, is more likely to complain and indicate at them rather than actually clean them up.

“I’ll do it,” says Adrien. “Sheesh.”

“No, I got it!” Christine insists, perhaps feeling a little embarrassed.

They both stand, and Christine beats Adrien to the plate. Adrien pauses by the table, then suddenly whirls around and lands as an elder.

“Oh, hey, happy birthday, Adrien,” says Cam.

“Happy birthday, Adrien!” pipes up Christine from near the dishwasher.

“Ah, plum,” says Adrien, grabbing his back. “That explains it.”

Well, gray hair looks good on the guy. But Matt won’t be happy about this.

Adrien:  Come on, girl, it’ll be out of this world.

Of course, with old age and newfound wisdom also comes newfound limitations.  Adrien returns from his woohoo space trip exhausted and barely able to walk.

“Oh man, do I hurt,” he moans.  “This isn’t as easy as it was when I was younger.”

Mila Munch knows what to do. “Take a hot bath and suck it up, buttercup.”

The bath works wonders to soothe an overextended elder.

Meanwhile, the Love Club is happy to carry on autonomously and without Adrien’s presence.  The girls take it upon themselves to woohoo with each other.

Before I know it the rocket ship is gone again, and the remaining girls are standing around the launch pad, waiting for their turn.

Ariella:  So… want a turn with me when they get back?

And Adrien, while he would never admit it, is kind of glad to have a break.  He’s perfectly fine with all of them woohooing without him.

He sneaks off to do a little meditating with Luke instead and lets the loving carry on.

Matt’s doing okay. He is pretty much chained to the computer these days, working on his gaming skill and his final promotions at work. He still doesn’t know Adrien is an elder. That means he isn’t much farther behind, but nobody’s worried about him like they were with Luke because he’s on track.

Oh no, he’s starting to get senile already. I think he’s lost down there in the basement. But look at the lovely new walls that came with Spa Day!

Marci heaves a sigh and looks at her phone. “Hello?” she calls out.
