The Lazlo Legacy—Harmony 3.2

Welcome back to the Lazlo Legacy with Harmony Lazlo. Last time, Harmony dumped her high school sweetheart, Alan Murphy. Thank you so much, Generations Romantic Reputation System. Harmony drowned her sorrows at a local pub and made eyes at bartender Mikel Pratt. Mikel moved in, and we’re now waiting with bated breath to see who Harmony chooses.

Warning: This entry has gratuitous shots of male pectoral muscles!

Alan’s first mission is to clean up his reputation. He has four love interests, so he needs to invite each one over and ask them to just be friends.

The first victim is Wendy LeBlanc. “Look, Wendy, I know Story Progression thought we’d be a good match, but the truth is I love Harmony. You’re a great girl and you deserve someone who loves you for you. Besides, I’ve got the chance to star in a blog. You can’t compete with that. Let’s be friends, ‘kay?”

Special? Puh-leeze.

Even the stray cat who was looking for a bite to eat didn’t buy that speech. Alan had to rinse and repeat to clear out the other romantic interests.

Meanwhile, Harmony’s other suitor, Mikel, is stepping up his game by fixing Harmony breakfast,

and whipping up romantic drinks in his undies. Hubba, hubba! Notice Harmony went for the skill drink instead.

Even though Harmony has two men fighting for her, she is not taking her eyes off the prize. She wants to become a Creature-Robot Cross Breeder.

Alan’s dad, Colin, is also doing well at his job. He just became Teacher of the Year.

If Mikel can prance around in his skivvies, so can Alan! Incidentally, Alan’s lifetime wish is The Perfect Garden, and Harmony needs gardening skill for the Science career. See how perfect they are for each other? Mikel is a level ten mixologist with the lifetime wish of Celebrated Five-Star Chef, so he’ll benefit from the harvest as well.

Don’t hold your breath, Christian. Many women thought Harry Chesterman had potential. True to form, they broke up a few days later. Once Hope moves in with Barry, I’m going to have to move Harry in for the laughs.

This notice actually came from an Appaloosa Plains save file, but I wanted to show you that Twallan’s Story Progression even notifies you when pets give birth.

Towards the middle of the week, it looked like Mikel had the upper hand.

Mikel didn’t mind throwing it in Alan’s face, either.

It’s a good thing we have a paramedic in the house because Alan looks like he wants to break Mikel’s legs.

Aunt Faith drops by of her own accord later in the week. I think she wants to encourage Alan not to give up. The Lazlos are firmly in his court.

*spewing my drink* Alan, where did that come from? She’s twice your age, married, the mother of six, and the aunt of your true love. This is highly inappropriate!

Ah, I forgot he was an Inappropriate sim.

By the end of the week, Alan had also made friends with Harmony, but Harmony still hadn’t rolled any romantic wishes for either Alan or Mikel.

Alan tried to sway her with a love song.

He also swiped one of Mikel’s romantic drinks.

Mikel was not impressed. Mikel: "Nice try, but I have rippling biceps…”

“and even this apron can’t hide my fabulous abs.” For some reason, I "hear" Mikel with a Russian accent. And so the love triangle continues. Who will she pick? Hopefully, we’ll find out next time we play her lot. Up next, Grace is all grown up and finally moving in with her man. Stay tuned…

Outtakes:

Justin Ervin is the father of Alan’s half-brother, Adam.

Lorelei and her parents autonomously had breakfast together. I <3 the Murphys so much!
