#PP: Ethan Ottomas

[katatty]

It’s Summer time, and school is out! A few lucky (or unlucky, depending how you look at it) kids are out in the mountains to have fun, make friends, and experience the great outdoors! The ten kids are fully moved into this household (using the Simblender), and will return to their families in the autumn.

Recent graduates and keen outdoor enthusiasts Sam Thomas and Dustin Broke are here to keep a look after the kids and make sure everything goes smoothly.

Lysander: Mom! Can you pick me up and take me home? No, you don’t understand, it’s awful! There’s so many poor kids here, nobody has any sense of culture, they’re all running around, screaming, throwng water ballons, eating cheap snack foods...

Ethan: Wow, dude.

[katatty]

Emma: Ewwww, Grandma! You and Mr. Smith are so gross... do you want to talk to Ethan next? He’s right here. Still in his pajamas!

Ethan: Shhh, Emma! Don’t tell her!!

Lydsander: My grandma is a mega-millionaire zombie-witch, she’s way cooler than yours!

Ethan: Cool! Is she nice?

Lysander: Not really :/

[katatty]

Lysander: Will you stay in touch with everyone?

Lear: Of course! I have lots of friends from all over the place.

Lysander: That’s cool. I haven’t really had friends before...

Lear: Well, you’re way younger than me and you haven’t even really started school yet, you’ll have lots of time to make friends with people!

Lysander: Thanks, cousin. I hope so.

Ethan: You should get your parents to buy you NASCAR Thunder, then we can play together online!

Lysander: I’ll ask them.

Ethan: Aren’t they loaded? They should buy you whatever you want.

Lysander: That’s what I’m always saying!

Lysander and Ethan remain unlikely friends! I like to think Ethan is explaining NASCAR to him.

Ethan: It must be nice not having to deal with the rain in Strangetown.

Cruella: Mmm.

Ethan: Do you have much to do there? Widespot doesn’t have much, I think we should have a roller skating rink.

Pauline: Those are cool!

Cruella: You don’t learn anything from those! I like reading books and playing chess. Sharpening the mind, Mom says.

Ethan: Boring!

[katatty]

Ethan: Aren’t you gonna come inside. It’s getting all wet.

Pauline: No way, the fish love the rain!

Daisy: And so do I! :D

But pretty soon he was coaxed into playing don’t wake the llama with the kids. It’s a little weird, having siblings so much younger than you. A year passes in no time at all, and suddenley they’re growing up so quickly...

Dustin takes the boys out to @plumbtales Lumber Mill Range for a change of scenery.

Don’t tell the authorities but I acidentally only kitted out the lodge for 8 kids so some of them ended up sleeping outside xD Ethan and Emma don’t seem to mind sharing a tent at least!

Despite their earlier differences, Ethan and Lysander end up unlikely friends!
