Two months later and thousands of kilometres away...
Ohan'ali Town - Sulani

"Run. Get away from here. And never, ever look back."

Those were the last things Ripp Grunt said to Randy. The moment she was able to move again from being frozen, she booked it--her and Collin both. They weren't even thinking about the who, where, or why. They had to get as far away from Nevada and them as possible.

The emptied their accounts and closed them. Packing all of their cash into a duffel bag, they boarded a freighter to the Pacific island nation of Sulani--the remotest place they could think of. Where they couldn't touch them.

They managed to find a run-down house and fix it up somewhat to make it their own. With that squared away, they settled--haltingly--into their new normal.

The first thing to get over was their shock. Aliens were real, and they had harvested their friend. When they were done, it was entirely possible they killed him--that he had died a terrible death. That was the biggest hurdle.

The second was that they could no longer be who they were. Collin Pix and Miranda Scooter were functionally dead. To disappear, they had to erase everything that they were. That meant new identities.

They could be two friends who wanted a piece of the oceanside property. Two professionals looking to flip a house and sell it at capital. Two lovers that fell for the beauty of Sulani on their honeymoon.

They could be anything they wanted to be.

Sometimes, Randy surmised they weren't really in love. That they shared one bed out of necessity; they trusted only each other for lack of other parties involved. That they only had each other to cling to in the looming face of adversity, protecting the other from the nightmares that came.

She wasn't sure; she had never exactly been "in love" or anything before. Maybe she was imagining it all.

But, man. Did it ever feel real.

Adopting a new identity means getting a new Party Frenzy username.

Collin: (sniffs) Goodbye, pussydestroyer_420. We've had some good pogs, you and I. But I have to move on.

Collin, typing: "pussy...destroyer...666". Enter. Nice.

Collin has taken up becoming a tech guru, since that was what her aspiration wanted. Well, why not?

Collin: Love dedicating my life to telling people to turn their computers off and on again. That's the best.

Collin had news for Randy!

Collin: Pregnant! :)

Randy: Yay!

Collin: Vomit now :)

Randy: Not yay!

Y'all...these chickens...Sulani I love you baby but you unnecessarily hurt me sometimes.

One of Randy's skills to master is Charisma, which is the most boring one the dice could've chosen for me.

Randy: Hey! You're interrupting our conversation?

Collin: Oh, I'm sorry, Randy and Miranda, I'll get out of both your way.

With a baby on the way, Randy had that unscratchable itch. Maybe she's just traditional like that.

Collin: ...yes! Yes, Randy! I'll marry you!

She surmised then, in that moment, that she was completely sure of it. She really did love Collin. And Collin proved that she loved Randy back. It was nice knowing things sometimes.

I see Miss Collin has gone back to her bathing every single day foolishness.

Collin: I deserve it. I'm preserving this legacy's future.

Speaking of preserving this legacy, someone is coming along more or less normally.

{A/N: Do you guys see what I mean by a skin glitch? Randy's gone to the default EA texture while Collin is my default. I later figured out it was related directly to a Sim's fitness level, and I've had mostly luck fixing it. Still weird as hell though.}

I thought it was very appropriate for two women who were trying to stay hidden to simply have a court wedding and a tiny celebration to commemorate it. Which is fine--I don't see either of them as being particularly flashy.

Please welcome the newly-minted Missuses Scooter!

They built themselves a little gnome, just to say that they had at least one guest present.

Awwwwww he's so sad looking.

Sand gnome: Please save me I have a family

Collin started working out on her own. I guess she's preemptively fighting off the baby weight gain?

...and Randy is still working on her joke craft.

Randy: My wife is really mad at the fact that I have no sense of direction. So I packed up my stuff and right.

Huh? Huh? Anyone?

What am I even doing anymore man.

Every spare moment Collin has, she's coding. I think she started on her first mobile app here.

Collin: Its working title is "Eliminately". With it, you can erase all trace of yourself on the planet. Very fun and family friendly.

Why so sad, Miranda?

Randy: Stupid skin glitch makes me look like I'm 45 :(

What I love about Sulani is that the neighbours just randomly drop food off. Randy, being vegetarian, can't have any of it though.

Collin: More for baby and me.

Sometimes the weight of they're running from comes for Randy.

But when she takes a moment to breathe, unwind, and release the anxiety building in her, she can look around and just take it all. Waking up every morning in a literal island paradise helps greatly.

Collin: So weird. It's like the goblins that we had in the US followed us all the way here.

Yes...the goblins. Yes.

Here we have Collin demonstrating proper procedure during a monsoon, which is to....

Collin: Sleep through it.

No, but we will keep on trying.

Kind of a weird transition but hey the baby's here! Please welcome Willow Rain Scooter.

As usual, spouses are pre-planned, and as next gen's spouse is a gay man, Willow is not eligible for heir. She's the cutest though so she still wins.

Randy: Big hugs baby girl.

Willow: Hub!

Randy: (chuckles) Yes, hubs too.

I COMPLETELY forgot about Collin's goal, which was to collect elements. So I sent off all of what she had in her inventory, and when they came back, I filled up a third of the element rack?! Nice

Random townie: Hey! You moved into Old Lady Park's old house, didn't you? I never see you round. What's your name?

Collin: Uh--uh--um...

Random townie: Did you...forget your name...?

Collin, sputtering: Alicia. Alicia Water...Swimmer. Yep. That's me. I'm going to go away now.

*＊✿❀　❀✿＊*

Gonna be perfectly honest with you guys: I chose Sulani specifically because it is The Best world and I love it so Much. And now that I'm here I must warn y'all that I'm going to stay here FOREVER (two generations).

Really quick before I go: here's my babies Josie and Matangi as elders:

Ahhhhhh I love them. They're so cute. Okay anyway good talk. Bye! See you next time!
