    Technically, the rough estimate is that the standard Sim lifespan is 1 day=1 year (Granted, this leads to some stupid stuff like 3 year pregnancies and 30 year old high school students, but it works for the overall total lifespan). So it's not totally unreasonable.

    In general, founders in legacy challenges tend to have very fast courtships, simply because the challenge emphasizes having large numbers of kids, which is difficult to balance alongside a job if you don't get right on it.

    EDIT: Wow. I mixed up the Frio brother's first names. Okay, let me set the record straight.

    Connor Solaris (ne Frio) is an aspiring author and soon to be Father (Oops, spoiler! ) He's a bit of a loner, but ultimately a good guy.

    Jared Frio is chef who can't seem to stay in a steady relationship, already has one illegitimate child he takes no responsibility in raising, and has managed to get himself a new girlfriend while his ex was still pregnant. Unless the breakup was caused by him cheating on Claire, which I'm not entirely discounting yet.

    EDIT2: Update!

    Oh, by the way, meet Oort, Stella's Teddy Bear.
    So... the rest of day 4 was kind of uneventful. Jared is learning to paint

    You call that painting? My baby sister can paint better than that!
    Ow.

    Ow.

    Okay, you're not a baby. Please stop hitting me, sis.



    Connor is making good progress on his first book.

    He also planted a small garden with the seeds every first level gardener somehow finds in their pockets.

    Jared meanwhile, invited His girlfriend out on a date to the community center.

    Now where are those two going?

    Well at least Jared lets the lady go first...

    Oh dear. I have a bad feeling about this.

    What the? That was not there a second ago!

    JARED! THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE WORK SAFE!

    Much better

    Or not...

    Wait a second. Was that the nooboo music box I heard?

    How does she do that??

    And, it's time to go to bed.
    Day 5:

    In order to invent things, people need scrap. So, naturally, Stella heads out to the junkyard to salvage some stuff.
    For some reason, I don't think she was feeling too well that morning.

    She certainly seemed in a hurry to get home.

    Connor finished his first novel. The Girl Who Came From the Stars proves to be surprisingly popular, despite, or perhaps because of some confusion over the fact that it's not actually a science fiction novel.

    After rummaging through the junk yard, Stella is predictably filthy, and needs a shower. Still not feeling well, Stella?

    Stella decides to tinker in the basement with her newfound scrap.

    Welding? In a sarong? Who would be so insan- Oh, right.

    And... It's... a doohicky. Called the smasher, apparently.

    Jared finished his first "painting" by the way. Here it is, hung up in his tiny outhouse.
    Some Apple pancakes for dinner (I really need to send Jared out grocery shopping)
    , and it's off to bed.
    *snore* Must... Stop... Invaders... From... Crystal... Cove... *snore*
    Tomorrow, Stella. Tomorrow.

    Stella, what are you doing up at this time of night?
    I don't know. I feel... funny...
    Yay! I'm going to have a nooboo!
    Why are you still wearing those shoes?

    And... Who on earth wears heels to bed?


    So, nooboo (baby) names. If I recall, we were going with a space theme for names, so here's a couple of names.

    Girl: Andromeda, Antennae, Cassiopeia,
    Boy: Kuiper, Orion, Draco
