Lilly and Tim Robertson

Lilly Cuthbert-Robertson




Lilly was born into the rich Cuthbert household. Her mother Elizabeth had lost her husband early in a balloon accident in the Himalaya, so Lilly just grew up with her grandmother Catherine, her mother and the devoted servo James.

Catherine married a University professor without realizing he was the town´s Don Juan. Elizabeth didn´t have much luck with men, either.




Somewhat scarred by the early loss of her father and the bad role-models of her mother and grandmother, Lilly made the decision to have as much fun as possible when she joined Academie La Tour as the second student from Sin City ever.

She successfully seduced a bunch of fellow students and her professor, until she realized that one of her playmates, Georg, had really captured her heart. The two married and moved in together.




Life was rough in the beginning, Georg couldn´t find a job for a very long time, so the young couple had to live on Lilly´s income as a medium in the paranormal career. Despite their financial shorcomings, they were very happy.




When Georg finally found a job as a school teacher, Lilly started dreaming of a baby, but it took them several years until Lilly finally became pregnant with Harper.




After Harper´s birth, things started to fall apart slowly, though. Georg had trouble relating to his son and preferred to keep himself busy with looking at the stars and playing chess with his buddy Jeremiah.

Lilly tried desperately to hold on to the marriage, despite the fact she had met Tim at her new job as a police psychic and got along well with him. He was the one who listened to all her tales of woe and offered her comfort, even though he just had recently lost his wife. The two became really close to each other, but Lilly still refused to give up her long marriage.


In his free time, Tim works as a stand-in for "Pirates of the Caribbean"
Tim Robertson grew up  in the Sin City "Very Late Sisters of Jesus Grandmothers Orphan House". He doesn´t remember anything about his parents, but due to his early interest in swearing, swordfighting and heavy drinking, secretly believes to this day he is an illegitimate child of Long John Silver.

Coincidentally, he was the very first student of the Academie La Tour and is still a honorable member of the Board Committee there.



On his graduation day, he fell in love with his professor Sissy ...


... and she eventually moved in with him.


He worked very hard on building "Robertson´s Robot Manufacture", and finally succeeded. Up to this day, his servo factory is the only one in town and is selling the finest handcrafted servos even as far away as the Twikkii Islands.

X-Ray (in the middle) and Mathilda were the very first servos created ever.


Tim and Professor Sissy had a long and happy life together, but even the frequent use of the Elixir of Life did not prevent Sissy from meeting her final fate (and I hate to admit it, at one point I used the SimBlender to speed up the process a bit. No wonder she is a really grumpy ghost).


It conveniently tied in though with Georg, Lilly´s husband, who jumped into the photo-booth with a very pregnant Cissy, which was the straw that finally broke the camel´s back.




Lilly was really, really fed up at this point, and she threw Georg out.


Tim stepped up immediately and offered his support (not completely unselfish, though. He had really fallen hard for beautiful Lilly). He asked her if she and her young son Harper wanted to move in with him. Lilly gladly accepted, and they married in a quiet ceremony.




Harper loved the old house, it was full of pets, continually kissing servos and angry ghosts.

 




 


 



He got along really well with his new stepfather Tim. He left for college when Lucien, Lilly´s and Tim´s new baby, became a child.





 






Lilly and Tim became leaders of the "Cult of the Incredible Hula", but have retired now.




Harper returned home and started a career as a football star. He is not planning to marry.





His mother is slightly annoyed to find his frequently changing love flings sitting at the breakfast table, or listen to conversations like the following:





Lucien: Did you have sex last night?

Harper: Ummm ....



Lucien: I read every book I could find about it! But I would like to listen to a first-hand experience.

Harper: Ummm ...

Lilly: Can we please change the subject, I don´t think this is appropriate, Lucien.


But other than that, she loves a good party and enjoys having young people around.


She never regretted leaving Georg, who up to this day steals their newspaper, started an affair with her mother Elizabeth and generally behaves like a psycho.


(For betraying his wife, Georg received the most severe punishment  I have at my disposal: Becoming a townie. From the masses of nameless, wandering townies you rose to fame, but you blew your chance, Georg, by having only three active points, being sluggish, always eating too much and eventually becoming fat.

Then you had the impudence to succumb to the ways of the Evil Autonomous Casual Romance Adjuster, dragging a hormone-ridden, very pregnant former Romance Sim into the photo-booth. Off with your head! Back into the townie gutter where you came from, vermin!)

(In all fairness, Harper tries to stay in touch with his dad and invites him over for family meetings, but Georg has a tendency to ruin parties by not only flirting with his mother-in-law, but also with his grandmother-in-law. So, he does not get invited very often.)

Academie L´ Amour Part 5

Academie L´ Amour Part 1    Academie L´ Amour Part 2    Academie L´ Amour Part 3   Academie L´ Amour Part 4

Another update, yeah!

It starts in the Powers/Thompson household with Griffin and Frederick.


 Griffin is a bit torn, on one hand, he is really attracted to Frederick ...


on the other hand, Frederick is such an extreme slob that Griffin is really turned off by his eating manners (or the lack of those). Not to mention the floods in the bathroom everytime Frederick showers.


Sometimes, he really regrets having moved in with Frederick.


Frederick is blissfully oblivious to Griffin´s inner struggles. He just complains pathetically everytime I force him to sweep up the mess that he has made in the bathroom. But he knows he is cute, and when he does the Hula, he sweeps Griffin off his feet.

And let us not forget about Thor, in whom Griffin is interested, too.


Griffin decides though to ask Frederick on a date. He takes him out to the most expensive restaurant in town, generously overlooking Frederick´s less than casual outfit. He is so absorbed in kissing Frederick´s sweet lips that he doesn´t notice the impending doom that approaches rather quickly.




A little battered and bruised they finally manage to find a seat in the lovely Moroccan restaurant. While the fountain gently gurgles in the background, Griffin is making a toast to Frederick.


Delicious food is brought to their table, and then Griffin looks at me as if to say: "Why again did I want to ask Frederick on a date??"


Sorry to disappoint you, Griffin, but Frederick´s table manners haven´t really improved since breakfast.

But all the crumbs, the slurping and gobbling is soon forgotten.


They head home, cuddle up on the sofa, but then Frederick rushes things a bit, and Griffin pushes him away.
 

Oh my, look at that sweet, sulking face!


But he manages to calm down, take a gentler approach, and the date ends harmonious, although in different beds.


***

Ruben did not give up his interest in Mia, despite her harsh rejection. But you can´t resist the magnetic pull of three bolts, which these two share with each other, so Ruben is persistant, practices dancing:



 and flirts with Mia. Eventually, she gives in ...



... and starts enjoying Ruben´s courtship.


Ruben dares to ask Mia for another "First Kiss", and she accepts! Ruben could not be happier!


***

Over at the Greek House, Aden "Mr. 1000 Volt" Waters uses the ritual morning Hula dance as a poor excuse to show off his dream body.


"Oh my god, I can´t believe how sexy I am!"

"Luc, are you watching?"


It is obviously spring time, and the raging hormones reach a new high. Aeryn decides it is a good time to flirt with Ruben, and falls in love instantly, despite the fact she is still dating Xenos.



Thor forgets his usual shyness and flirts with Griffin without restraint. I am only glad this lot is set to "no jealousy", otherwise all hell would have broken loose by now. But this gives us the opportunity to admire Frederick´s sexy back as he calmly walks away from the scene of the crime.


Hula time.

Xenos is still confused about his love interests. 


"Mmmh, Mia is sooo sweet ..."


" ... and so is Aeryn ...."


"Oooh, and Luc is cute, too ..."

Thank you, Xenos, we get the point.

But he is not the only confused person in the place.


If the crowd doesn´t Hula, it swoons.

Just liked this image of Griffin.


Despite all this confused swooning, Aeryn and Xenos are still dating.



and taking their relationship a little further.



And so do Mia and Ruben.



Mia has trouble focussing on her homework.


Ruben asked her on another date. Much to her surprise, Ruben falls down on his knees in the Café Romara, and asks THE question.



She gladly accepts ... and then brags about her two love interests to a total stranger. Jeez, Mia, you are not winning any sympathy points with this kind of behavior!



Luckily, Ruben is out of earshot, so the date ends untroubled ...


as does this update, which I hope you enjoyed!
