Scooter 8.8 - Do Me a Favour

[moveobjectsron]

Hi besties. Welcome back to the Scooters. It's getting warm over here and I...am crying :) Let's get into it.

 

HELLO? POLICE? I'd like to report a crime. Journey to Batuu has broken into my home.

Guy dressed as Darth Blorbo or whatever, I genuinely do not know nor care: Buy our pack, Ron :)

Kaleb and Natasha have fast become great pals. Because most everyone in Newcrest is either an adult or is a child 1 day away from ageing up, this being too old and gross and icky.

Natasha also kinda looks like Robbie Rotten from the side in this angle lmfao bro.

Really a big big fan of the children having made the right decision to stan Everglow and stream their latest comeback "Pirate".

Kaleb: Cause I'm a pirate yeah yeah a pirate, yeah yeah a pirate yeah yeah now let me introduce myself

{A/N: This reads like a damn stroke lmao. Anyway stream Return of the Girl.}

Miss Fayrouz is making moves! She's just bought the local restaurant, Favours! Now she's in the process of upending the entire thing.

Fayrouz: So does anyone actually get the lobster here?

Waitress: It's more of a suggestion. Well...a warning, more like.

Fayrouz: ...

Waitress: It's kind of a joke that you don't get any seafood from Favours.

Fayrouz: God. We are gonna need help help.

Kaleb is kind of a wunderkind. His grades are through the roof and he completes projects with ease. I bet Fayrouz is thankful she doesn't have to worry about that for him.

Well, for now, I mean. I used to be a gifted kid too now here I am playing the Sims to cope with the horrors of waking life LMAOOOOOO

Because running a restaurant in TS4 is, in essence, a passion project and not a cash cow, Fayrouz has to maintain her day job. Which, duh, is in culinary.

Fayrouz: I just love haemorrhaging money to fund my dreams, it's simply the best.

Mixological artiste or alcoholic with a flair for distraction? You decide.

Fayrouz: I love the experience of drinking gin, whisky, and Hypnotiq vodka all at once. Doesn't everyone?

So...one day the camera pans over to Mr. Bernard Deleon freezing to death on my lot. Cue Fayrouz inviting the newly-widowed Mila the next day to give her condolences.

Fayrouz: Hey...Mila...sweetie, I'm so sorry.

Mila: (sniff) I feel so lost, Fayrouz. I don't know what to do.

Fayrouz: (deep sigh) I understand you so much right now. You don't have to do anything just yet. I'm here. Okay?

Kaleb had to be there for his best friend as well.

Kaleb: It's not like he's really gone forever, you know. Sometimes I see my dad, too.

Natasha: Dude, I know. I saw him at the end of my bed already. He said being dead was super weird.

Kaleb: Like driving through Saskatchewan forever? That's what my dad said.

Natasha: That's exactly what he said!

The yassification of Favours is complete! Now she's been rebranded into a Syrian-Lebanese restaurant exactly as Fayrouz dreamed. The menu has been facelifted to have all the delicious, familiar dishes she and her grandmother Nora spent years perfecting. But she kept the name because it is iconique.

Fayrouz: Welcome to Favours, lovely folks! Can I get you anything to start?

Man: Yeah--I heard you guys serve Middle Eastern food now. Do you serve basil seed drinks?

Fayrouz: Only everyday, and made fresh!

Man: Hell yes! Two of those to start, please--one in honey and one in pomegranate.

Fayrouz: Coming right up!

Fayrouz: Hey I'm gonna step out for just a second to the grocery store.

Cook: Sure thing ma'am--why, though?

Fayrouz: I might've panicked and told some patrons we sold stuff that we don't have HAHAHA I'LL BE RIGHT BACK

Fall has arrived! Sorry I meant autumn. Sorry I meant avtvmn?

Kaleb: Nope, just regular autumn. We're finally free of the salad branding, we aren't going back.

{A/N: If you're reading this in the future...don't worry about it.}

Kaleb wasn't kidding when he said he saw Xavier often.

Kaleb: I just don't get why mom says she doesn't see you? Like, I can see you clear as day right now.

Xavier: Your mom is a really worldly person. She's not religious or spiritual at all. It's harder for her.

Kaleb: I mean, neither am I, though!

Xavier: There's that--and, well buddy, me dying traumatised her a lot. Maybe she doesn't want to see me just yet. Maybe she isn't ready. Maybe she won't ever be.

Hostess: Hello, you've reached Favours! What can I do for you?

...sure! Table for two on Wednesday, sure. Who can I make it out to?

...Ligma?

The neighbourhood is loving the new Favours! Fayrouz is really racking up the reviews!

Lady: I have to say, I was really wary about the rebranding, but I'm convinced now! Can you believe I was scared of spice?

Fayrouz: (chuckles) Change can be intimidating. But I'm glad you stuck around! Now...dessert for you fine folks?

Lady/Man: Yes, please.

Speaking of dessert, it's cake time for baby boy! Happy birthday, Kaleb!

Kaleb: Hey, what's with the dirt stache?

Buddy--have you seen your mother's full, voluptuous head of hair? You are destined to have the same fate.

Kaleb: o ok

Kaleb's first act as a teenager was to go for a jog? Ew weirdo

Kaleb: Little do I know that I'm actually gonna stay this exact. same. shape. for the rest of my life :) hahahehe.

Fayrouz is fully embracing middle-aged suburban mom life, a thing that shocks her--and everyone--deeply.

Fayrouz: Sweetie, can you answer my phone? It might be Mila calling.

Kaleb: Sure thing ma. (beep) Hey Mrs. Deleon. You're on speaker, ma's in the room.

Mila, over the phone: Hey babe! I'm coming by to grab you for the perineum sunning sesh. Be there in 5.

Kaleb: ...mom. What the hell.

Fayrouz, bitter? Perish the thought!

Fayrouz: Wish I could smooch my husband but he's fucking dead

Like mother like son, right?

Kaleb: Did she just--did she really just?!

Fayrouz: Throw away an ENTIRE plate of food? She sure as shit did!

Kaleb/Fayrouz: (pained scream)

One weekend day, Fayrouz was at work but I really wanted to run Favours, so... why not Kaleb?

Kaleb: Hey fam welcome to Favours! Take a seat anywhere! (pause) Not in booth 4 though, that's where I'm doing my homework.

Man: Hey, where's the owner? I wanted to ask her if the qatayef came in a vegan version.

Kaleb: Well, I'm filling in for her today. It's vegan.

Man: But it has cheese in it.

Kaleb: Ok and does cheese get butchered off of the Cheese Beast? get it together you complete psycho

Waiter, aside: Hey, Kaleb? Does your mom know you're in today?

Kaleb: She sure does. She told me to come in today anyway.

Waiter: Okay...if you're sure... 'cause there's a shipment of meat here but it's the wrong kind....

Kaleb: Nothing wrong with having backup! Bring it iiiiiinnnn why noottttttt.

Fayrouz: Man, I don't know what was up at the restaurant today, but they desperately needed me to come in for an hour after work. That was something else.

Kaleb: Yeah, that's weird, isn't it? I wonder what happened.

Fayrouz: Complete disaster, apparently. There's like, all this lamb in the back now, one customer went on Yelp and slammed us into the ground.... What a day.

*＊✿❀　❀✿＊*

What a day indeed. See you next time best eaze!
