The confusion continues ...

Xenos wants to be engaged to Mia ... and Aeryn.

"Sorry, Xenos, you can only marry one girl."

"Wait, what do you mean? I want them both!"

"You can´t."

"On the planet where I come from ..."

"You were born on Earth! You are only a quarter alien! Stop being so pretentious."

Xenos walks off into a corner and sulks.

For some reason, Mia shares the delusion about engagement/marriage. Although she got engaged to Ruben in the last episode, she wants to be engaged to Xenos, too.

I highly doubt anything good will come from this ... (insert dark, foreboding music here).

After Xenos was done sulking, I sent him off to propose to Aeryn. 



Aeryn, I know you are a little rough around the edges, but honestly, making such a face when your sweetheart proposes to you is a little inappropriate. (I seriously thought she would reject him, but her face was just stuck from disapproving all the kissing and cuddling that was going on around her.)

"What, only 2 karat? Where did you get that ring from, a cracker box?"

Meanwhile, Zoe decided she definitely didn´t have enough screen time and captured Griffin.

Frederick: "This is not really happening. If I stare blankly into space, it will all go away by itself."

"See? It is all gone."

***

Thor was getting really frustrated and wanted to go Downtown, so I sent him on a date with Nero Delacroix, Sin City´s greatest man-izer. I don´t remember where they met, but they got along really well.

Until I suggested Thor should hug Nero.

"Hugging? You mean physical contact? Ewwww ...."

"You can do it, Thor. It is not really difficult. Just stretch your arms out and get real close. Yes, like this!"

Oh my, that kid melts my heart with his shyness ...

He somehow managed to overcome his fear of physical contact, but I thought I leave it at that. Nero has broken quite a few hearts in town, and I was not sure if I wanted to add Thor´s to the list.

***

Over at the Greek House, the ACR-induced flirting and kissing is kicking up a notch.

Frederick: "Any idea where Griffin is?"

Thor: (Thinks long and hard) "Nope, no idea where he is."

Well, I guess Griffin is rather busy at the moment.

To be honest, Griffin is not my cup of tea. He is a bit too smooth, too cool for my taste. Zoe gets excused, she is a Romance Sim, and one of the few girls in the neighborhood, and girls have a hard time in my game anyway. But Griffin just disqualified himself completely. He just can´t make up his mind. 

Later, I catch these two looking so utterly cute together that I wonder if they could be teamed up, seeing that Griffin has no desire to get either engaged to Thor or Frederick, like they want to.

***

The other love triangle, or rather quadrangle since Aeryn´s unexpected flirt with Ruben, continues.

Now Aeryn also harbors secret wishes to give Ruben backrubs - a highly dangerous social interaction.

Xenos and Mia aren´t particularly shy about their affection for each other, either.

Xenos feels rather torn between all this seductive black lace.

"Sorry to interrupt you two, but my bear has something really important to say to you!"

But besides that, things go rather smoothly ... for a while.

Thor and Frederick have started dating ...

... which doesn´t prevent Thor though from becoming a victim to the Unsavory Charlatan. Noooo, my poor baby!!!

Sheesh, could you stop fooling around in the background, Frederick, Xenos and Jordan, to help your poor silly trustful sorority brother? (Jordan is a new student and will get a proper introduction later.)


An unrelated shot of Frederick taking a shower. I love shower shots :-)

It is time for Zoe to graduate, and frankly, I am relieved, because this is one less person to worry about in this growing relationship mess.

Frederick and Thor are having a good time ...

As do Aeryn and Xenos ...

and Mia and Ruben. 

Enjoy the peace while it lasts! A new bunch of students will arrive soon, and more students equals more chaos.

Head over to Academie L´ Amour Part 7, now with 100 % more drama!

Last day of Uni for Luna and Eldred

Although Uni drags on and on, I am kind of sad that Luna and Eldred will leave the University after 4 years. The Greek House is still my favorite house in Uni, and the trio consisting of Eldred, Luna and Elaine was always fun to watch.

Read the first part about Eldred and Aeon here.

And I then realized that Elaine will be the last one in the Greek House. She will surely miss her buddies. I think I will roll the dice to find out who will be the lucky ones who will join her.

Eldred invites Aeon over (wo brings the Unsavory Charlatan along as a friend, which makes me afraid my game is borked, but he just hangs out and plays pool).

The beautiful image on the right is by Durwaigh, check out their site, they have such amazing images over there! It was meshed by Lidiqnata.

Now some more picspam of Aeon and Eldred :-)

They start flirting in the bathroom (where else?):

Eldred has the wish that someone would flirt with him (it is obviously spring), but instead of taking the opportunity to spend some more time with Aeon, Eldred does what Eldred likes most, and this is not sex, but cleaning:

Oh, yes, you dirty little sink, give it to me!!

Thankfully, Aeon does not belong to the obsessive-compulsive faction, and stoically waits until Eldred is done.

Doesn´t he just look gorgeous? *sigh*

His sister Elaine is a real beauty, too. Tony and Akira just have pretty kids.

Ziggy Stardust, Elaine´s fiancé, drops by and leaves a gift for a date they had, a chess table.

He was made by strange_tomato who wrote the wonderful story "Strangetown, here we come", which was sadly never finished, but I so enjoyed reading it. He is a "breed" of Johnny Smith and Ripp Grunt and originally called Markus, and I just had to have him in my game.

And then the trio has exams, and soon Eldred and Luna will leave. I finished here, but they of course will throw one of their famous Greek House Parties before they will go.

Just one more shot of Aeon, edited in Photoshop (click image to see a larger version):

The story of Eldred and Aeon continues here.
