Welcome to the Desert | Desert Dreams 1
Meet the players:
1. Bethany Quickover. You've followed her life as she's grown up and here she is, setting out on her own.
2. Raegen Okada. Childhood friend. Cute as a button.
3. Tessa Sakamoto. Bethany's kind-of-girlfriend. Secret millionaire. Her family bought her this house as a gift. What a life!
Here they are, on the porch of their new home. I like Tessa's kind of confused, yet impressed look.Yes, girl, this is your life now.
All that moving certainly does make a girl exhausted.
Raegen wants to be the best teacher ever, but she has to start small, as a playground supervisor. She also loves yoga and all things wellness and is a vegetarian.
I guess I could show you the actual house, huh? Here's the exterior. All credit to LoveSimplySim, its name on the Gallery is Desert Breeze.
Tessa is a writer, both in her free time and for her work. She loves her cozy office, one that is absolutely off limits to the two other girls.
Since Bethany loved collecting frogs and searching for collectibles so much growing up, I was inspired to put her into a custom archaeology career. This requires a lot of knowledge of Selvadorian culture so, naturally, the girls didn't waste any time in heading out on a trip.
This is the face of one Bethany, completely in her element. Not so sure how Raegen is feeling about it, though.
Oh, nevermind, I think she's kind of into it! Think of all the downward dogs she can do while fighting off spiders and other crazy jungle nonsense.
Tessa, on the other hand, has come to the conclusion that she is definitely not dressed for the occasion. She looks hot as Hell, but those heels we saw in the last picture are a recipe for disaster.
And she's off to the jungle! Our first exploration wasn't very successful, but Bethany got a taste and she is hungry for more.
This scenery is everything to me.
Tessa is supposed to be skinny-dipping in this picture. It took me a while after this to figure out why she wasn't, in fact, naked. Got it all under control now, though.
The trio took a trip to the museum to look at some artifacts and get their tourist on.
Bethany found an excavation pile outside and decided to take a crack at it - she's gotta start somewhere, right?
This Selvadorian heat is no joke!
Meanwhile, Tessa and Raegen are spending more time chatting than looking at the exhibits.
And doing whatever the heck this is:
Wardrobe change!
Raegen: These pants are the most comfortable thing I've ever worn!
Tessa: Have you ever heard of these shoes called "flats?" I couldn't bring myself to get them so I still have a bit of a heel... I hope I don't twist my ankle.
Well. Not everyone can change their entire lifestyle so soon on their first trip to Selvadorado.
What's a vacation without a trip to the bar?
I feel like the bartender is kind of skeptical of us. We belong here, sir!
Bethany started out simple, with some chips and salsa. She seemed to enjoy it enough.
Tessa and Raegen are just social butterflies, aren't they?
Look at the guy in white at the end of the bar. Doesn't he look like August in his teen/young adult stages?! Same hair and everything! Keep this guy in mind because he plays a part in future Quickover installments. It's very confusing.
Oops, looks like Tessa's had one too many drinks. She's trying to dance away the "I gotta pee" thing but it's not really working.
Raegen is a party animal! This outfit and these moves? She fits right in with the locals.
