Do we have a Mail Thief in Bluewater?

Many apologies for not bringing you an update so soon.
I've kinda sorta been busy with other things.

But here's something that might just tickle your fancy.

The postman in Bluewater, just happens to be Sheldon Hanby (any relation to the maid Lucy Hanby perchance?) and he's busy doing his rounds.

However, news has got around that someone is stealing mail from all the mailboxes, so he's extra vigilant.

I forget the guy's name, but on looking at Sheldon's face, he's none too happy with this 'loiterer'.



I don't know who you are fella, but I don't trust you.

Seriously, after Sheldon put the mail in the box, he walked away, then walked back, just to make sure this guy hadn't been dipping into the mailbox.

And poor Sera, running out there to see if her CD's have arrived. Aww bless.
Honey, you should be indoors studying like everyone else!

Heck no, I wanna listen to my CD's NOW.




I think Chico Ramirez in the background, looks slightly amused by her wild actions.....

Study Time for Everyone??

Well, with the arrival of Apartment Life, new wants suddenly appeared in everyone's wants bars.
This makes the mini task of achieving wants for everyone, a little easier.

So, with a little help from Chance himself, we encouraged our group of ladies to sit down and study the delights of Fire Safety, Couples Counselling, Anger Management, Lifelong Happiness etc.



All except one person.
Sera.

Nothing rolled up in her wants panel at all, except the wants to be friends with almost everyone.

She was sat in the yellow room, watching horror movies.



Melanie - "I've seen a gorgeous pair of pink sandals in the sales recently...."

Sera - "Shush! It's getting to the scary part."



So, Melanie decides to leave Sera to her horror movie and join everyone for study session.
But wait.

Are these ladies REALLY studying and reading their books?



As soon as Chance sat down, Melanie looked a little stunned that Chance chose to sit right next to her!!!!



We have Melinda and Alexa sat together, studying hard (or is that Melinda trying to pretend she's not sitting next to Miss French Fry head?)

Chance and Melanie look as though they're enjoying their books.



However, sitting directly across the room, Averyelle can't seem to drag her eyes away from Chance. Not only that, Bridget is staring at Alexa's costume too.



As for Bailey, her mind is fixed on Averyelle for some reason. Is she secretly plotting to hug that poor woman to death at every given moment?




Poor Averyelle.



However, it seems that Bridget has spotted something VERY untoward about our dear Chance.
Her eyes seem glued to the vicinity of his 'bum' area.

So we zoomed the camera in a little closer....

... and this is what we found.



Oh my, Chance, you really should take care when dressing on a morning. You've got an impression to make with all these ladies, and wandering around in rags just doesn't help at all.

Psst:
For all you sharp eyed folks out there, you'll have noticed the seating arrangements with Chance. In one picture he's by the window, in another he's further into the room. That's because I had to reset the scenario after the computer shut down losing valuable information and progress.

How about some 'study' time?

'Getting to know you' Part one

Chance decided today was the day to chat to his 'roomies', share interests etc.

A 'Getting to Know You', scenario

The first one on his list was Sera.
After his disastrous first meeting with her, it was a wise decision to apologise and hope that she can put all that behind her.



So, much to the chagrin of all the other guests, they decided to 'hang out' in the kitchen.
Which stopped everyone from washing up their plates. Oh, by the way, I have no idea who did it, but someone broke the dishwasher. So I guess it's time for the repairman to call.

We're not pointing fingers here, honestly, but we'll know who it is soon enough.
Interesting.

Well, they discussed economics, which was a pretty sore point for Chance. He didn't want to hear about the credit crunch and all of that.




Then they took to a little tickling, to which Sera's squeals enchanted Chance even more.



He was then prompted to flirt a little and kiss her hand. He did it dutifully, but not without a little pouting to start off with anyway.



You'd think that he was going to the gallows, NOT kissing the hand of a beautiful lady.

After the great Apartment Life installation, however, he lost interest in Sera slightly, wanting to chat to Melinda.


However, that didn't go down to well. Try as she might, Melinda just couldn't stop Chance from yawning whenever she opened her mouth.




In the end, he regarded her as 'dull' compared to the lively Sera and showed it too. Much to the disdain of poor Melinda.

Next on the list was Bailey.



He approached her confidently, beaming.



Bailey looked a little apprehensive and shy, but waited patiently to see what he'd talk about.
Chance went for a safe option.

The Weather.



Bad choice, as just at that moment, there was a sudden nasty downpour that soured their moods somewhat. Besides, Bailey wanted something more exciting to talk about than the weather.

Well, that wiped the smile off his face.



Guess it didn't go down as well as we'd expected. The faces those two pulled were a drama in themselves.



"Nope sorry... I can't handle this Bailey."



"Well, I'm not listening to you either."



**sigh**

Guess this challenge isn't going a 'swimmingly' as we'd thought.

Stay tuned for more antics of this mixed bag of folks.
