“Do you… would you go on a date with me?”

“That sounds like a bad idea. Remember?”

“I know. I know that I’m a complete and utter fuck-up, I know that I’m the worst Sim alive and I know that you have every right to say no. No one would judge you, not even I, probably. But I want to get better! I really want to change! Just… if you want to give me a chance… I-I… Listen, if you give me a chance and I fuck up one more time, you’re free to beat me up and throw me into the ocean.”

“That sounds a little extreme…”

“So is that a ‘Yes’?”

“One more chance. And if you fuck this up, it’s ‘Goodbye’. Forever.”

“Yes!”

Look, Middleground got a bigger diner (heavily inspired by @katatty ‘s Asteroid Diner).

I’m back! Not that I was ever gone, thanks to a full drafts folder and the occasional peek at my game during my internship. Well, that drafts folder is now empty, and I have a lot of free time on my hands until college starts again (and I will likely disappear again because it’s my final term- eeeks!), so I booted up my game. Then I closed it again. Opened it up again. Decided that I needed to suck it up and put the last two households I played in Middleground before the break into the queue. Good news: it really got me back into the mood. So expect some new Middleground posts over the next few days.
