Happenings

A black BMW coupe rolled down the road from the Chikamori house. This wasn't exactly what the driver wanted to drive. For this driver the only thing that would be a proper vehicle to propel at breakneck speed down the roads of Legacy Island causing the islanders to scurry out of the way in fear of their lives; was THE BEAST. He certainly was not a friendly kind of guy and inappropriateness was his calling card. You could even say that he was mean-spirited. But it was well known that Kaneoshi Chikamori was the black-sheep of the family. He was what was generally typified as a bosozoku 暴走族, a Japanese tough-guy, the crowd that dressed in leathers and generally rode bikes. He had, in Japan, ridden on what was a Suzuki, but now that he was in North America, he wanted a Harley Davidson or something similar. After-all, you just couldn't get the intimidation factor that a Harley or a Beast road-bike had. Especially the Beast since it had the chopperbike look.

The first place that Kaneoshi went to was the diner. After all he was hungry.

He also had a wish to become a world class 5-star chef but he would have to work his way up. The working his way up thing was debatable at least to Kaneoshi.

Watcher: "Yeah...you gotta. Don't give me that look, Flarkin' deal with it...or I zap you, understand?"

Watcher: "Yeah...I will, bub... don't give me that look. And don't think you're so tough, buddy. You think you can call down lightning? Just watch me! How boutchu go read a book or somethin'?"

Meanwhile, Haruo was busy playing with plants.

When Kaneoshi came home, he started reading his cooking skill book like a good little sim. Lucky for him. The Watcher was about two seconds from pulverizing him with a meteor. NO COMPLAINTS...YOU PEON!

Karina was hungry so she ended up polishing off her plate of egg rolls.

...and well, yet another member of the family, Tania, aged up to child.

...and because she was not one of the heir's children, got promptly moved out with her parents. Guess she wasn't too happy about that. Deal, Tania, you'll get to see your cousin in school. Unless Katrina ends up cutting school or not doing her homework like she's supposed to and ends up getting punished by having to go to MILITARY SCHOOL. Watcher emits a rather evil burst of laughter.

Tania stared at her cake in unrestrained dejection. She'd enjoyed having her cousin around to play with, about as much as a child could play with a toddler. Karina was usually busy with homework but she had spent time playing with her cousin and making sure that she was always kept happy...and then realizing that from now on, the only time that she'd be able to play with her cousin was on selected play-dates and at school. It was rather disheartening.

Kaneoshi being mean-spirited tended to laugh at birthday parties. "HA HA...you're so OLD now..." Makes the Watcher want to drop a meteor on him, but unlike Jared Frio...he's a family member. Can't do that...must relieve itchy trigger finger some other way.

Ah...dear dear River...feeling her impending age...all her children have flown the coop...except for the heir and his sister (who had just gotten married).

"Mom, you're not old...you're still beautiful..and Dad loves you so much..." Brianna stated to her mom, in between bites of chicken teppanyaki.

"Thank you dear, but the stilladjective doesn't help matters much..." River replied feeling a few more aches and pains where there weren't any before. Was it early onset-arthritis?

Kaneoshi had work so he headed down early to the concession vendor's booth at the local athletic park to grab a bite to eat and then sat down and read his cooking skill book before work.

Someone had been spreading false rumors about River...and so River went down to the local judicial courts and sued the pants off the person who started the rumors. To the tune of §8M in compensation. Thank you very much...any sim starting rumors is going to get financially destroyed.

Haruo took his Lamborghini Aventador and headed down to the local Hogan's diner to grab a bite to eat. Hogan's Diner must be like our McDonald's. There's ones popping up all over the cotton-pickin' place.

...and then once he was done...Haruo went to the park and played guitar for a while. What is it with you? Haruo, your wife is feeling rather down in the dumps and you're out there on your own playing guitar. Why the hell aren't you home comforting her. Use your brain...

...or something...(oh wait...on the other hand, it's a T-site...sorry...forget I said that.
