Hello! Welcome to the first-ever episode of Sun, Moon, and Tamara! This is a Sun & Moon challenge, created by whisper_doll. The object of the challenge is to take two roommates, have one become a vampire and the other a plantsim, and to have them live together until one or the other dies. whisper_doll has written a lovely plotty romance with this challenge over at her LJ, but I am simply going to present a series of pictures, with captions. For some visual interest, I will make it look like a photo album/scrapbook using the magic of PowerPoint templates.

Please note that there is a real (and quite old) fairy tale called Sun, Moon, and Talia, but that is not a story for the faint of heart and has nothing to do with this other than providing the sound of the title.

Tamara Langerak 4/10/9/4/1

First meal in the new apartment!

Meeting the neighbors

A little hail can’t stop an outing

The moment when you realize that the energy gain from coffee is exactly offset by the energy expenditure of purchasing it

Calling a taxi to get back to the apartment building that is not twenty feet away

Still no jobs -- that’s going to make paying rent hard!

Someone answered the post for a roommate on ChadsList!

Showing the spare bedroom and explaining how the bills will be split

You’ve got yourself a roommate!

Kyoshi Rusewicz 4/10/4/4/3

Kyoshi has two hobbies. This is one of them.

This is the other one

A housewarming party!

Not the girl he wants to hold hands with

Kyoshi’s first matchmaking attempt went poorly

But this one went well

Tamara’s first date with Pao Barthelet

Kyoshi’s aspiration is low

Tamara’s is not

Tamara really and truly can’t get a job, even though jobs are available every day. Whenever I try to get her one, the game crashes. It’s somehow tied to Tamara, not to anything else, but I’m not going to worry about it. There are other ways to make money, including well-to-do roommates.

I hope you’ve enjoyed this little visit with Tamara and Kyoshi, and that the format is okay for you. It’s nice to have a little break from writing sometimes.

Until next time, Happy Simming!
