Welcome back to the Global Legacy! Last week's challenge involved Greece dressing up in a variety of ridiculous outfits in the name of fashion. This week, he's become a gigolo. Which is actually pretty perfect because he hates his job and wants to have 50 Dream Dates before he dies. So far he's managed a grand total of two. So let's see if we can beat that.
Spain: Ahhh, what a beautiful day.
The rules for the challenge are to ask out strangers your sim meets on community lots, but Spain was strolling past right then, and I couldn't resist making a start with him.
Greece: Hi there, stranger! Are you looking for a beautiful man to share your day and your wallet? Because today's your lucky day!
Oh oh three bolts, it really is a lucky day!.
Wow, really lucky!
Only then Greece's carpool turned up and the date auto-ended. Oops.
CANCELLED. Right, where were we-ah, sorry, excuse me.
Spain:
Greece: GERANIMO!
DREAM DATES: 3/50
After a nap, I send Greece off to prowl community lots just as Spain returns with a dream date bouquet. Which is nice and all, but not exactly a giant TV I can sell and buy walls with.
And look who's around! It's Latvia! Now Greece did roll a want to ask him out after scoping a room and finding him hot, but as they never actually spoke to each other, he still counts as a stranger and so Greece can ask him out.
Latvia: I have no problem with that plan at all.
DREAM DATES: 4/50
Greece: Cool, but I'd really like to be showered with expensive gifts now.
Sadly for Greece, Spain decided he's rather tell all his friends that he got laid on a first date than buy Greece a piano. But an outing is a good chance to meet new people, so I let him go.
Rich pickings tonight!
Greece: I hope so, I have bills to pay.
I guess we can write off Lithuania and Sweden.
And Taiwan and Germany. Good thing he has Seychelles to talk to.
Greece: This is boring, wanna go on a date instead?
Seychelles: Sounds good to me!
Greece: Mmm, no wonder you only wear swimming trunks, you are HAWT!
Switzerland and Japan were inspired by that little bit of PDA.
Yay, that makes 5/50! Greece is now one-tenth of the way towards eternal happiness!
Although being caught on a date by one of his lovers might put a dent in that happiness.
Poland: I see nothing suspicious here.
What, really? Truly?
Greece: What about if I make out with her?
Poland: OHMYGAWD HOW COULD YOU, LIKE TAKE THAT, YOU RUFFIAN!
Oops.
Greece: Ow! What the hell happened?
Ah, turns out I have a mod that stops sims from magically knowing you're on a date if you're behaving in a totally platonic manner. I forgot about it.
Oh well, never mind Poland, at least Italy likes-
Italy: NO BEARDS.
Not that it brought down the date score, which is now at 6/50.
So many flowers, so few expensive knick-knacks.
Poland: That rat! Let's see how he manages without his precious newspaper!
OH NO, NOT THE NEWSPAPER, WHAT AN ORIGINAL METHOD OF REVENGE I'VE NEVER SEEN THAT BEFORE.
Italy: Flowers for my honey.
Are they worth more than a hundred bucks? No? Then shoo. I need the porch free for REAL gifts.
THANK YOU LATVIA!
Next day! Liechtenstein is around but doesn't want the pleasure of Greece's company today.
And neither does South Italy-
-Oh! Thanks! Buuuuut as it's not a date reward, Greece can't sell it.
He did actually agree to a date, so Greece decided to commemorate the moment with some photos.
Greece: I'm going to put them all up in my bedroom.
South Italy: If the waiters start singing that fucking song from Lady And The Tramp, I'm gone.
DREAM DATES: 7/50.
Greece: Wow, I've been working so hard today. I've been like a powerhouse-
Hong Kong: Yawn, boring, et cetera.
Greece: OK, I'll get straight to the point. Wanna ditch this place and go out somewhere?
Hong Kong: No.
Hmm, I wonder if this could be why he turned Greece down???
Greece: All right, I can see you're the faithful type... so how about a purely business relationship? I provide company and entertainment and you provide money!
Hong Kong: Nope.
Unsavory Charlatan: A wise decision, young man!
Unsavory Charlatan: A man like that, he's only after one thing! Stick to your principles, I say!
Hong Kong: OK great right, stop touching me- HEY! My wallet!
Greece: Now see, if you'd gone on a date with me, I would've put out for that cash.
So as Hong Kong now has no money to buy Greece presents with, I gave up and made him chat up Vietnam instead.
Greece: SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP.
Vietnam: No offence, but I don't wanna date you.
Greece: Well I don't wanna date you either. Guess we both win!
No-one at all wanted to date Greece today, so I sent him home just in time to catch Poland kicking the bin over.
Poland: BURN IN HELL, YOU CHEATING BASTARD.
He'll still greet Greece with kisses though!
After a snooze, Greece heads out again, allowing me to test out a new system. And much to my delight, it turns out that when you spam a sim with the new Apartment Life greetings (high five, earthy hug, fake out and so on), you get a relationship boost high enough to ask out most strangers, such as Denmark here.
DAMMIT DAMMIT DAMMIT. Thanks for giving me nothing to work with, Denmark.
Oh well, moving onwards. Greece has negative chemistry with NyoBritannia here, but after a big hug, she agreed to a date.
A little dirty dancing.
And we have dream date 8/50.
Greece: MARCO.
Estonia: He's not here.
Greece: I've got no shoes, no shirt, but I can still service you.
Estonia: Best idea I've heard all day.
DREAM DATES: 9/50
Thanks to the dream date motive boost, Greece still has enough energy to woo Finland.
Finland: Ooooooh he's so dreeeeeeamy!
*smashes body into giant lamp*
Another photograph for the collection. Also I forgot to cap it, but this was DREAM DATE 10/50 WE ARE 1/5TH OF THE WAY THROUGH YAY!
Thanks! Although again, we can't sell it because it's not a date reward.
Greece: Wanna join me on a TOTALLY PLATONIC outing?
Germany: Sounds fun, why not?
Greece: OK, now we're not in earshot of the last guy I went on a date with, how about we make this outing into a date?
Germany: HOW DARE YOU TRY AND TRICK ME INTO A DATE MINUS MINUS.
Greece: Well that could've gone better.
Never mind, Greece will ride the carousel all by himself instead.
Community lot time travel shenanigans mean it's still daylight when Greece goes home. Also I forgot he was still in a casual group with Germany, so she followed him home. So, why not work on their relationship some more and see if he can get a date after all?
Britannia: La la la, what a lovely day to bring flowers to my sweetheart who's just hanging out with a friend.
Britannia: La la la, just gonna ignore that conga line of people holding flowers.
no1curr.
Greece: So how about that date then?
Germany: BRILLIANT IDEA!
Greece: Cool, just let me grab the phone first.
Little busy, so nope.
Still busy, still nope.
Greece: Sorry about that. Now, where were we?
Germany: You were answering your phone.
Greece: Wow, deja vu or what?
Ugh, NOPE.
Greece: So! FISH!
Germany: I LOVE FISH also your phone is ringing again.
GREECE IS BUSY STOP CALLING HIM.
Sadly I think Germany felt neglected. No dream date this time.
Greece: Hey, I don't want to go to work today.
When do you ever?
Poland must have come over at some point and kicked over the bin again. Thanks, Poland!
Greece hates work, but thanks for the offer, Switzerland.
Greece: To say "thank you" properly, how about a date?
Switzerland: You throw my job offer back in my face and then try to ask me out? That's a joke, right?
WAT.
Anyway, I decided to let Greece try asking out Hong Kong again and this time he said yes!
Hong Kong: I said I'd have dinner with you, I didn't say you could fucking touch me.
Greece didn't take rejection well, so once again, it wasn't a dream date.
And finally, Greece's workplace got fed up enough to fire him.
WHY WILL NONE OF YOU BRING GREECE PRESENTS WHYYYYYYYYYYYYY.
This is the second time Turkey's called Greece, so I said fuck it and let him go on the outing.
And it turns out he has three bolts with Turkey. No wonder he kept calling!
WAT WAT WAT. Thanks, but if Greece needs to contact Santa, he can write him a letter like everyone else.
Greece: Toasty!
Who whoa whoa, what about your three bolts with Greece!?
Turkey: Too late, I'm in love.
Greece: So is it true there's always snow everywhere in Canada all the time or is that just a thing they made up for TV?
Canada: Well, we do get other weather sometimes, like clouds!
Greece: SLURP SLURP SLURP oh sorry, did you say something?
Canada: Mmm mmm MMM, that guy sure is sexy!
Seychelles: I agree!
*sexes Greece up*
It's amazing what a little hot tub sex will do for an outing score.
OH MY GOD FINALLY.
Greece instantly flogs Finland's gift and buys himself an oven. Thanks to me making him occasionally study cooking, he doesn't even burn his first meal.
After all those dates, I figure Greece deserves some rest today, so he catches some rays.
And then he asks out Turkey.
Finland: AND AFTER I BROUGHT YOU GIFTS!? HOW COULD YOU!
Turkey: What was that about?
Greece: Oh, I only went out with him for the money. But with you, it's ALL pleasure.
Denmark: FUCK YOUR PLEASURE!
Despite his date getting smacked about all over the place, Turkey still had a great time and brought the dream date total up to 11/50.
China was walking past the house, so Greece promptly greeted her and asked her out.
As you can see, it went well.
DREAM DATES: 12/50.
Who the hell are you? You're not a date reward, that's for sure.
Thank you China!
Greece: Look, I got a love letter!
Oooh, who's it from?
Greece: Dunno, I got three and I forgot who sent what.
He also got half a dozen meal vouchers, which will pay for the next few date dinners.
Hungary: No thanks, I don't want your cheapskate coupon meal.
Since Hungary didn't want to go on a date with Greece, I let him go out with Turkey again instead. I know he's not a stranger any more, but I figured if he left a gift, I just wouldn't sell it.
Greece: Mmm, lobster thermidor tastes even better when it's free.
Haha, wow, Turkey sure does have a one-track mind! It would be a shame to disappoint him.
So I sold all of Greece's dream date bouquets and brought a car for them to fuck in. Because WHY NOT.
DREAM DATES 13/50.
New day, new community lot, old bullshit from Poland.
Poland: YOUR HAPPINESS DISPLEASES ME.
Greece: Hi! Wanna-
America: Dude, no way.
Ashlee: Aww, don't look so sad, how about a TICKLE ATTACK!
Greece: What the hell!? Do you mind!?
Greece: OK, so you said no to a date before, but now we're friends, so-
America: Really, no.
Greece: Oh, I'm sorry, is your Bible belt on too tight?
America: You know what? You suck, I'm outta here.
*slow hand clap*
Nice going Greece, you sure blew that one.
He did finally convince Hungary to date him though, although she doesn't want to try his lime-seared prawns.
Hungary: Yuck, no thanks, I don't want your germs.
But he does manage to get another photo for his collection.
And another dream date for his collection, which is now at 14/50!
And the very moment the date timer runs out, he hops straight back into the photobooth to screw Spain.
Greece: If only I could get photos of this moment too.
Honestly, I'm surprised there isn't a mod for that.
Neither Turkey or Hungary leave a gift, instead opting to spam Greece with date requests. Not that I care because THE WEEK IS OVER AND THE CHALLENGE HAS ENDED HOORAH HOORAY.
Oh! Maybe it wasn't Poland kicking over the bin all the time. Sorry Poland!
So now that's over, I let Greece study cooking...
...While I sell all those networking rewards people gave him and build him his very own Greek shrine! Which I then had to delete because I discovered it showed through the floor above, but never mind, it looked good for a while.
So! Next week's challenge is:
Cake and champagne is OK too, right? Because I think it's about time Greece settled down and got married! Now usually in legacies, there's polls for the heir. But as this legacy is continued by the surviving spouse, I've decided to hold a spouse poll instead. I thought about choosing between the five nations Greece has the best relationship with, but thanks to that challenge, he's at 100/100 with about fifteen nations. So instead, you get to choose between everyone who's given Greece a gift! Or you can choose 'other' and tell me who you'd like Greece to shack up with. :D
ETA: Well, when I checked last night, Finland and Italy were drawn. Now it's a three-way tie between Italy, Finland and Nyo-China! So I'm going to leave it up for another day to see if there's a clear winner and if not, Greece shall just marry whichever one of the three he likes best.
Voting is now closed! There was no winner, so I guess we'll all just have to wait and see which of the final three Greece decides on.

Date: 2012-11-09 06:26 pm (UTC)It is a lovely dress, isn't it? I thought the angels should have white outfits all the time and that one was just perfect for her.
I had problems with the last poll I tried to do on LJ, but that poll site seems to be quite easy to use, just type is a question, answers, and then copy-paste the code. I don't know if I can actually close the code, but I shall just stop counting votes in a couple of hours.

Date: 2012-11-10 09:53 pm (UTC)Wrong! They believe in sex that produces children in wedlock, and no other kind. Cause, you know, it's not like it's pleasurable or anything.
no subject
Date: 2012-11-10 11:12 pm (UTC)Greece will have that date with America though, I have decided, no matter how long it takes. He can't resist forever!
