[Games] Re: KUY Immigrant Congrats Round 1
UN: Julia Elisabeth
Time Period: 2200s
Country/ies of Origin: DH from France and DW from Sweden
Country they've moved to: Japan
LN: Durant
DH: Émile Damien (27)
DW: Clara Solveig [Svärd] (23)
DD: Shiri Emilia Durant-DW's sister: Michaela Maria SvärdEven if they miss their families, Émile and Clara are happy in Sapporo. Even in they had stayed in their countries of origin, at least one of them would've had to move away from their family, since their from different countries.
Émile is teaching piano at a private school and is making enough money to pay for their small flat. Clara has had different jobs; sometimes as maid, janitor or babysitter. She was quite shocked to find out that she was pregnant. It's a bit soon for both her and Émile. To have a baby is expensive and they don't know if they can afford it.
In the meantime, both Émile and Clara have been mailing with all their friends and relatives back home. Clara's younger sister in Umeå, Northern Sweden, suprised Clara by saying that she'd like to move to Japan too. She says, with the climate changes, it's way too cold to live in Umeå anymore. Everyone in Northern Sweden are moving south and in less than ten years, no one will live in Umeå anymore. The problem is, Clara's sister, Michaela, is very poor too. She can barely afford to move to another country in Europe, and she'll probably not find a job there either, since she only speaks Swedish and Japanese (compulsory in Swedish schools at this time) so she's thinking about moving to where Clara and Émile are living. But she cannot afford a flat of her own, so she'd have to live in Clara and Émile's small apartment. Émile doesn't like this idea, especially not when they have a newborn in the house too, but Clara can't say no to her younger sister like that. Next month Michaela is moving in.
Shiri has been given a Japanese name to blend in better in Sapporo, but her MN is honouring Émile.
