Scooter 4.3 - Wind Flower

[moveobjectsron]

Welcome back to another chapter of Landon-era Scooters. Last time some yikes shit happened, and the same will go for today, of course.
TW for my Filipinos: Some FUCKED UP adobo...bro

 
 

Not Miss Liliʻuokamaka having that horny ghost glow!!! No!!!

Liliʻuokamaka: I'm willing to bet that you're curious as to what my corporeal body looks like.

Landon: Haha...no...

Kanoa: Ooof. Oof man.

{A/N: It might be actually Playful but idk}

Check out some of the gross-ass fish Landon has caught.

Turns out they were making Toro, with the Child of the Ocean trait, rather upset, so I sold them. Ooooops.

Okay, I know this is supposed to be nasty post-wash water and it's full of doo doo but...I think it's kinda...pretty? Like a forbidden La Croix, y'know?

Toro progressed far enough into the Conservationist career to receive the cool-ass canoe! My favourite part about this career.

Toro: I am Moanaaaaaaaaaa

Oh this guy picked the wrong island to come back to.

Toro: YOU. I WARNED YOU.

Litterer: Uh--uh...

Toro: HAND OVER YOUR KNEECAPS, LITTERBUG.

Landon: Lili? Have you ever had...a partner?

Liliʻuokamaka: No, dear. It was a strict custom of my village that their priests remain chastely untouched their whole lives.

Landon: Damn. Okay, what about you, Matthew?

Matthew: Dude, I died when I was 21 in the parking lot of a 7-11 in Honolulu, on my break from Best Buy tech support. Didn't no one want any of this action.

Landon: God dammit, guys.

Toro is training to strike down OFFENDERS who dare DEFILE Mua Pelʻam.

Toro: (panting) Teach these bastards to litter. And once I'm done with them? I'm coming after you, fossil fuel.

Dunno why I took this picture but I mean 90% of the time any simmer takes a random throwaway picture of their sims it's because they think are cute as fuck. And I have definitely made this same point some other time. So.

Toro: You like those guns, bro? You like that?

Landon: Don't you tempt me, incubus.

Toro: Come oooon. You don't want a piece of this?

Landon: (dry mouth) T--try me, bitch.

Oh my god so the night before, I got Toro to make adobo in the earth pit, and I completely forgot about it. So I pulled it out the next day...

I gasped in Filipino. Fam. This isn't no fucking adobo. What is this shredded pork shit? Is that some green vegetable?! Where's the soy sauce???!!! Santa Maria. SANTA MARIA!!! What the literal hell, EA.

Landon's shifts at work are like, ridiculously short. He leaves at 7 and is back by 12, and for the rest of the day he just vibes indiscriminately. Really gotta love that for him.

Landon: Island living really is kind of that bitch.

Toro looks so fucking MUCH like his father that I actually thought it was him who had come fishing with Landon this time. For like 2 hours.

Landon: Hey Mr. Nishimura. How's your impromptu vacation going?

Takeo Nishimura: Nice and slow and just what I needed, kid.

Landon: Yeah...same.

Takeo: what

Landon: what

Like look at this shit. I didn't realise he was such a clone lmao.

Toro: Son.

Takeo: Father.

Toro: Haha. Got eem.

These two are so domestic together. Aaaaaghhhghghg. Aarrckkkekkgkgkkg.

Toro: ...so two days, yeah?

Landon: Yeah. ...Maybe. I think so.

Toro: You think so? I just hope you're sure. Moving out then in then out again in two months--you'd be the worst tenant ever, Lando.

Landon: I have my reasons.

Toro: I know, man. Not saying you don't. Just...come visit, okay?

Landon: T-Katz, of course I will.

Toro: I didn't come back from Japan just to lose you again. Okay?

Landon: ...okay. What's...uh, what's that constellation up there?

Toro: That one? Uhh...that's...the canoe.

Landon: Uh-huh. Tell me about the canoe.

Toro: Okay, see, so the night sky is the ocean, right? And the canoe...it goes on water, right? ...

Uhhhh I forgot exactly who was crying in bed but my money is that it's Miss Landon with his gloomy-ass disposition.

Landon: I'm hooked on all these feeeeeeeeelings :-(

It's part of Toro's aspiration to have a kava party, so, he invited some folks over.

Toro: Everyone grab a cup and let's get drinking! But not too rowdily. Beach litter is a serious problem for people in my age group.

Miss Raquel Hekekia (Willow's best friend if you remember) was feeling erratic about their guests.

Raquel Hekekia: Hmmm...buttered-ham EA skin textures. You are not ONE OF US

They ended the night with fire, because of course.

Toro: ...now I'm gonna pull some logs out and we're gonna walk on them and see who makes it across!

Guests: (concerned muttering)

Landon: Uh, I think we should've left that idea on the back burner, man.

*＊✿❀　❀✿＊*

One day after getting off early from work, Toro made plans to see his girl Victoria. He had come early. To her chagrin.

Victoria: ...okay. I gotta go to the beach bar now. Don't text me for three hours.

Random guy: Yeah, will do.

...

Oh fuck.

Victoria: What? What's wrong?

Toro: ...Vic?

Random guy: Fuck. Fuck. I gotta bolt.

Victoria: The hell is wrong with--

Toro: Victoria?

Victoria: ...you? (wince) Hi...babe.

Toro: The hell's going on here?

Victoria: (muttering) Own up to it, Vic. Be straightforward. (deep sigh) Toro...remember how I said we needed to work on stuff?

Toro: Yes...?

Victoria: ...

Toro: ...

Random guy: ...

Victoria: ... (quickly) So I've started seeing a couple's therapist! Hah.

Toro: By yourself?

Random guy: Fuck.

Random guy: We've been sleeping together.

Victoria: Oh my god, shut up!

Toro: The fuck! Who the fuck do you think you are; a three-dollar version of me?

Victoria: Ugh! I'm leaving!

Toro: Yeah, get out of here! You're not the one I give a fuck about anyway. You--

--Fighting noises--

Beachgoer: Haha. Nice.

{A/N: After looking at Miss Victoria's simology panel, it turned out she was A) A LOT older?! B) playing both Toro and this random dude whose name I cannot recall because C) she was MARRIED. The dramah!! Don't you love when this stuff writes itself?}

Toro: (muttering)

Landon: (whistling) Hey, T-Katz--whoa! You look like you got hit?!

Toro: Got in a fight.

Landon: Another litterbug?

Toro: No...it's... (sigh) Victoria was cheating on me. With...with a guy that looked just like me.

Landon: (shocked) Oh...oh. I'm...sorry.

Toro: Then she lied through her teeth about it. Couldn't even tell me the truth. (sigh) Fuck, man.

Landon: (sigh) I'm really sorry, Toro. Come on. Sit down.

*＊✿❀　❀✿＊*
 

Ole boy was sad literally the entire day.

Landon: Come on, man. Snap out of it. You almost put your whole foot in the fire.

Toro: Sorry, man. I just can't think clearly. Maybe I shouldn't even be upset because this whole thing...wasn't worth it, but... How?

Landon: How what?

Toro: How could--could she just throw away two years like that?

Landon: If I were her, I'd tell you. I'd tell you to your face. I'd at least owe you that.

Toro: ...thanks.

Landon: No problem.

Toro: No, really, thanks. You've always been there for me, Lando. Even when I wasn't here.

Landon: If you're talking about Japan, still, you need to know that it's okay. You were a teenager living under your parents' roof. What choice did you have?

Toro: I was just such a different person, so impressed by industry and machines... I was dumb.

Landon: Impressionable. Not dumb. There's a difference.

Toro: (chuckle) And you've always believed in me too much.

Landon: Of course I do. And...for the record, I don't think I should move back home yet.

Toro: (softly) I'd like that.

Landon: Yeah. Me too, I think.

*＊✿❀　❀✿＊*

So, lot of things this update. The whole Victoria fiasco. Toro and Landon's everything. That FUCKING "adobo". Now, ugh, I just wanna talk about how it hurts me to write this "will-they-won't-they" type of dialogue UGHHDFH it's eating me alive. But I promise things will be better soon. See you next time!!
