03-04. Misfits

I don't want to jump too far into my main story, but will share a couple of things. First, I decided to cozy up Laurie and Malcolm. I used NRaas to make them romantic interests. I'll see where that takes them. I might have to put a wedding arch up in the world somewhere. I've had townies use those on their own. 

I checked up on the rookie fireman Bo Walsh, and as suspected, he comes from a very wealthy family. But according to his bio, he's not happy being a Walsh. The father is controlling and mean to everyone in town. And Bo's sister isn't much better. Poor little rich boy!


Bo is a sensitive guy. But he's kind of a mess! I think his dad has really done a number on him. Bo's traits are No Sense of Humor, Over-Emotional, Eccentric, Loves the Outdoors, and Loser.  ...If anyone is in need of some time as a "research subject" at the manor, it's Bo! Piers thinks young Walsh could use a hand--just a little encouragement so he can stand up to his Mean-Spirited, Ambitious father!


I also noticed that, not too far from the Walsh's estate is a camp of "travellers." I didn't really know about Irish Travellers, so I looked it up. They've been around since at least the famine times in the 1800's--probably much earlier, and they still exist today. Basically, they're like gypsies.

Irish Travellers

This camp reminds me a little of the Broke's place in Riverview. And the background of the family says there's also a young man here who's not happy with his family's way of life. Another candidate for the manor's roommate project?
