Kurt: Layla!
Layla: Huh? Oh, hi Kurt.
Kurt: What’s with the hole? You burying a body or something?
Layla: Ha! Nah, just some damn dogs that keep digging up my yard. I can think of a few people I’d like to bury…
Kurt: Not me, I hope!
Kurt: So, this is why you haven’t called me!
Layla: It’s not just this. I’ve been kinda busy.
Kurt: Am I the daddy?
Layla: Most likely. I haven’t been with anyone else.
Kurt: So what do you mean “most likely”? Isn’t it definitely me then?
Layla: You never know. I might have been abducted by aliens and had my memory wiped, and there was this witch-
Kurt: You are so weird.
Layla: So, don’t feel you have to get involved or anything. I figure it’s my decision to have the baby, and I’m pretty independant so if you’re not interested you can just-
Kurt: Woah woah woah. Why are you painting me like some deadbeat asshole?
Layla: I didn’t say that! I just didn’t think you were into kids.
Kurt: What gave you that idea? I love kids!
Kurt: Looking around here though… I’m not sure this is the best place to raise a baby.
Layla: Hey, I’m perfectly capable.
Kurt: I’m not saying you’re not! But babe, this is a one room beach shack with a sink and a kitchen in the bedroom! Where are you going to put a baby? What if it crawls into the sea? And who is going to keep an eye on the little one while you’re out working on your investigation?
Layla: Maybe you could stay over and babysit?
Kurt: I’ve got a better idea. Why don’t you just move in with me?
Layla: That’s kind of a big commitment…
Kurt: Look, Layla, we’re having a kid together. The trian’s already left the station.
So Layla moves in with Kurt. I found their place a bit of a nightmare to design since I don’t normally go for “modern” styles and am awful at building starter houses with a reasonable budget, but I think it came out pretty cute!
Kurt: My pad’s a little sparce - I haven’t actually been living here very long. Maybe you can help me spruce it up? You’ve got a great sense of style.
Layla: Maybe. It’s going to take me a while to get used to having this much space…
Layla spends a day “getting settled in” while Kurt’s at work. She’s not really sure what to do with herself. Usually when she’s not working she either out clubbing or surfing. Neither of which she can really do right now…
Out of the window, Layla spots somebody… lurking. Potential burglar, staking out the place? Or just a curious neighbour?
Layla: Hi! I’m Layla.
Townie: Charmed.
Layla’s suspicious nature is immediately vindicated when the woman turns out to be yet another common thief! This city is absolutely crawling with kleptomaniacs. She should have realised sooner from that cheap imitation strawberry dress! Ugh.
Awesome, apparently having a legacy spouce get this chance card is becoming a trend in my legacies. I’m not complaining!
Kurt: Hey babe! How was your day?
Layla: Awful. I got pickpocketed by some phoney woman pretending to be a neighbour.
Kurt: Aw, I’m sorry. But not to worry! I got a pretty big bonus today so I can always replace what you lost.
Layla: That is not the point, Kurt! This neighbourhood isn’t safe.
Kurt: Relax, relax. That’s Shellcastle for you. You gotta be careful talking to strangers.
Layla: Yeah, I guess so. So tell me about this bonus.
Kurt: Babe, we are SO rich. I’m gonna hire a landscaper and buy myself a sports car. And a guitar! What do you want?
Layla: It’s your money, not mine.
Kurt: You’re my babymomma though! Oh, yeah, I’ll have to get the baby kitted out with an awesome nursury.
Layla: How about a home security system?
Kurt: Sure, sure.
Layla: Maybe a new computer?
Kurt: Your wish is my command!
I haven’t actually introduced Kurt properly yet, have I? Let’s fix that.
Currently working as a home video editor, Kurt doesn’t take life too seriously. Then again, he’s never needed to. His natural genius makes him good at pretty much anything he sets his mind to.
He’s a bot fan and computer whiz but also has an artistic side, being super interested in music & dance. His combination of technical know-how and out-of-the-box creative thinking has made him a very sucessful video editor! Sometimes he wonders how he’s got so far, when deep down he still feels like the loser he was back in high school.
A lover not a fighter, Kurt’s a romantic with a love of beautiful women and a ambition/fantasy of woohooing 20 of them. He’s not just some playboy, though. Kurt can really see himself settling down and becoming a family man and adopting a few pets (he’s an animal lover) once he meets the right person. Maybe that person is Layla!! They’re both aries, after all. More similar than they might seem! But time will tell.
