The Snow Legacy 1-1
When Bastian Black left her home in Appaloosa Plains, it was with the plan to go to bridgeport and become a famous rock star. She promised her dad that someday she'd be a star!
She made it as far as Riverview before her money ran out.
No one mentioned how expensive moving across Simland was. At least riverview was green and bright and reminded her of home. And now that she was finally an adult, she could hit up the local watering hole.
Turns out riverview had quite a lot of sights after all.
Sidney: I'm Sidney (
visionofvim), I don't think I've seen you before.
Bastian: Bastian Bl ... Snow. Bastian Snow, I'm just passing through though. I'm going to Bridgeport to make it big!
Sidney: Everyone in this town is trying to make it big! You should stick around, the theatre is always looking for stage hands. Maybe you'll get discovered.
It wasn't the worst idea she'd ever heard, and besides she was completely broke. Plus, Sidney Storms was here, and he was possibly the most handsome man she had ever laid eyes on. She was barely nineteen days old, it couldn't hurt to stay in Riverview for a little while.
Josh: I heard you telling Sidney you were going to stay, do you need somewhere to crash?
Bastian: Uhm ... you seem nice and all, but I would feel weird intruding on your place.
Why are the cute ones always so creepy?
Josh: Not with me, I've got enough roomates, I know this place though in town. No one lives there, so you should be fine to squat there for a while.
Bastian: As long as it has four walls and a roof, I guess it couldn't be that bad.
Turns out four walls and a roof were about all the place had. You could even call it a shack!
Bastian: I was expecting a bit ... more.
Josh: For zero dollars? You're lucky it has heat!
She managed to hang up her few mementos from home on the bare walls. It wasn't much, but it made the place feel less empty. Even the old bed cleaned up ok. It wouldn't be the worst place to stay, and maybe she could just crash at Sidney's soon.
The next morning she headed to the theatre like the boys had suggested. Turns out they did need stage hands, and she was able to get a job with a meager salary. It wasn't much but if she worked hard she'd be able to save enough to get to Bridgeport in no time!
Turns out all the people in town were pretty friendly. One of Josh's roommates named Eli told her all about the town. How it was settled on two rivers, and since then there had always been a steady stream of people heading for the big city. Turns out most of them just ended up staying right there in town.
Bastian: Not me! My dad told me the only way I'd ever get my dreams was to go to the big city.
She spent the rest of the day exploring the town. By Sun down she relaxed on a bench for just a moment. Sidney would be out of work soon. Maybe she could catch him on his way home!
When the last show of the night let out she got out her guitar and set up to play. Back in Appaloosa Plains no one could ignore her beautiful songs. Everyone would stop and gather and listen to her.
Sidney didn't even look her way.
Josh noticed though. He watched her half the night.
Josh: You're really good! How about tomorrow I show you around? We'll hit up the hot spots in town.
Bastian: How many hot spots could a town this size have?
The next morning Josh took her to one of the most happening places in all of Riverview.
Bastian: ... it's a pool in an old warehouse.
Josh: I know! Isn't it great?
Sidney: Hey ... Bastian right? So you decided to stay!
Bastian: Yeah, there's a few things here that caught my interest.
Sidney: Just don't get trapped ok? I left my whole family to find something new and exciting and I ended up here. There's nothing here but horses.
Bastian didn't mind horses, really. She also didn't mind her new job. After just two nights she got a promotion with a nice bonus! She knew she should save it for her place in Bridgeport, but the tiny house she was staying in was so drab. What it really needed was some wall paper, maybe some floors.
Bastian: A brighter home will help me feel more creative and make money faster! Who should I show my new place off to?
Bastian: You want to come over? I got wall paper and a night stand, my lamp isn't on the floor anymore.
Josh: For your new place! Every girl needs some flowers.
Bastian: You've been really sweet to me Josh. I don't know what I'd do here without you.
Josh: Sweet is my middle name. Don't worry about it, I like spending time with you.
Bastian liked spending time with him too.
Bastian: Come sit on the bed with me, you can tell me more about your roommates.
Bastian: Sorry I don't have any chairs, we'll just have to lay here and talk I guess.
Josh: There's other things I'd rather do than talk about my roommates.
Things may have gotten a little out of hand.
Josh stayed the night. Bastian fell asleep thinking about Riverview and the people she'd met. It wasn't such a bad place, really.
Bastian: Hey Josh ... about last night.
Josh: We don't have to talk about it right now. We should probably get ready for work
Josh: I'll see you later. Here, I found these outside this morning, maybe your kitchen could use some flowers too.
Instead of going home after work, she headed over to Sidney's place. The night before with Josh had gotten her mixed up. She really liked him. But wasn't it Sidney that had caught her eye? Wasn't he one of the reasons she had stayed in town. She had to find out if there was anything there with him.
Bastian: I'm all moved into my little house now. Maybe we could hang out some time ... you know, like a date.
Sidney: Oh the gossips in town would have a feild day with that!
Sidney: I really like you Bastian. But you're what? 20 days old? I'm almost 30. You're just a kid.
Bastian: 21 days old, and I'm not a kid Sidney.
Bastian: I can take care of myself, don't worry about what the gossips will say.
Sidney: Hey kid, I've got to get ready for work. You can stay if you want, just lock up when you leave.
Sidney: Are we cool? I mean ... do you need to talk or anything?
Bastian: I'm fine Sidney! Don't worry, I'm going to head home.
Now she knew. Sidney Storms was amazing and handsome and a really good kisser. She should be thrilled with the development in their relationship but ... she was still thinking about Josh. At least work kept her busy.
She was even able to bag another promotion. One more and she'd have enough to leave Riverview in her dust. There would be plenty of guys in Bridgeport, she probably wouldn't even remember Sidney or Josh's names.
New promotions call for celebrations, and Bastian did. She celebrated through 5 of the flaming drinks the mixologist handed her.
That night she fell asleep dreaming of her big break.
Bastian: ugh, I feel like garbage
Bastian: Maybe five drinks was one too many.
Bastian: I'll just sleep it off.
Hopefully this queasiness is something that she can just sleep off.
