Aaaaahhh, my poor darling Ilyona Mari! What have you gotten yourself into, daughter of Poseidon?
Well, maybe you can take this Journeyman dude down to the sea and we'll see what happens, eh?
Even I'm feeling sorry for her.
Hmm, maybe the release of Seasons can make that possible!
Good luck on your Dynasty, I love reading stories set in Union Cove, there's so many familiar Sims all over
And evil genius founder, this could be very exciting! If you make it past gen 1 your chances will be pretty good, *fingers crossed.*
It's quite amusing to see all the familiar faces. An what can I say, I like a challenge.
Anyways, update time!

He didn't get far enough with Ilyona that night, so Journeyman was still living alone and without enough funds for a bed. He slumbered inside the world's most luxurious fire station.
And went home to make pancakes.
His first day of work went without a hitch. In spite of his normally sour ways, Journeyman found himself already becoming friends with his boss, Seab Ody. While he could go on about how excited he was to try and make friends with the rest of the cooks in Union Cove, Journeyman needed to catch more sleep and contemplate why he suddenly got a temporary buzz-cut.
But not before knocking on the door of a famed artist's enclave.
He overheard some patrons at the restaurant speak about a guy named James Douglas. Apparently he was interested in taking up sculpting; a departure from his reputation as a fisherman. Journeyman wanted his form immortalized (Heh.) into his property, and James sounded like the perfect man for it.
And they hit it off quite well.
Soon enough, James Douglas joined Journeyman on his mission to immortality. Rumor had it that James already knew the joys and perils of such an operation, and was quite content with being the mortal roommate this time around.
Journeyman made sure that James got to work.
Thankfully, Mr. Douglas had a few thousand saved up, and Journeyman could finally lay down some walls and extra sleeping bags. It even covered the cost of the copious amounts of black paint that Journeyman insisted on using.
Also, it doesn't matter if you're an evil ball of hatred; Journeyman proves that even the most corrupt can't resist ice cream.
Finally, Ilyona joined the team.
She was put to work (and given a small makeover; welcome back pink hair!).
And she and Journeyman hit it off very well too.
Soon enough, a faint lullaby was heard in the distance, and the Grave family would soon grow.
But Journeyman and Ilyona weren't the only sims in the household to find romance. James finally got the courage to find love in his former roommate, John Pangnark. Although he was bound to the Grave household and couldn't have John move in, James hoped that this romance would be a peaceful addition to his now-limited life.
(As for James and John, I have no idea if it was Story Progression or if they actually start out as romantic interests when you first load UC, but John was his romantic interest by the time I moved James in. They're just adorable together.)
