Ravenwood Rumors

Layne, like other citizens of Ravenwood, has a special interaction called Ravenwood Rumors that reveals tidbits of lore relating to himself, his ancestry, or the town's history. Depending on your relationship level with Layne, different secrets will be revealed.

0-32 Relationship Points

• "If you stop by the Baleful Bog, you can temporarily become a Ghost. I've got a pet Death Frog for a similar reason, though I confess: it makes me feel a little odd to merely pretend to be a ghost. My motto as a musician is that if you're gonna go for it, you should go all the way!"
• "Can you believe that when Olive and I first met up - at the cemetery, naturally - she had no idea I'm a musician? It was refreshing to run into someone who doesn't know you before they know you."
• "I've always felt a strange pull towards death. It never felt right to admit, but what I was drawn towards wasn't just the, well, grim idea of death so much as the potency of seeing a spectrum of existence around it. There's an event, Celebration of Life, that happens in Crow's Crossing sometimes. I'll visit to get a taste of the other side of death; the moment when the living gather to bask in remembrances of you."

33-65 Relationship Points

• "Radwan and I used to date way back when, you know. He's a sweet guy, but in the end we just weren't totally compatible. I think he wanted to settle down into a quiet family life. Funny how things turn out; his settled down family life involves that absolute whirlwind of a woman, Tziporah. They make a great couple, though."
• "I've noticed those little green fellas over by the swing sets in Crow's Crossing, and I've also noticed that a couple houses elsewhere here seem to have a lot going on. I'm dying, practically dying, to spend time in haunted places."

66-100 Relationship Points

• "Have you ever dabbled in Thanatology? I find it fascinating; I suppose it just lends an even more mysterious air to me, but I can’t help but find it compelling. You’ve heard that you can eventually make Soul Soup, yes?"
• "I’m highly competitive, had I told you that before? The thought of a game where your very life hangs in the balance is maybe a little bit more thrilling than it should be for a guy like me. I’d heard that you could challenge Grim himself to a chess game. But, as I said, I’m competitive. I seem to have a real knack for winning, for good or ill."
• I suppose you've been talking to other Sims about me, huh. I can sort of tell. People will whister about me a lot when I'm out with Olive. If they're scandalized, too bad!

Secret Confession

If you become good friends with Layne (and have also heard a Ravenwood Rumor about him and Olive from Nyon, Zelmira, or Zuleika), he will call you and ask if he can tell you a secret. If you accept, he will tell you that he is an evil Sim and his good trait will be replaced by the evil trait.

• "Yeah, so, I noticed the grave for Hugh Thanasia a while before I even started seeing Olive. Did you know: more than anything, I want to be a Ghost, too! So the thought of Olive “helping” me is, well, kismet, right? Cuz you see, while I didn’t really lie to you about who I am… I also didn’t quite tell you the truth. I was hiding the fact that I’m an Evil Sim, but now you know. It doesn’t mean we’re not still close friends; if anything, I feel closer to you than ever! I hope I’m not too Evil for ya, though."

Past 70 friendship points, he will have new Ravenwood Rumors to share.

• "I hope you don't feel like you got the rug yanked out from under you. I wouldn't have talked to you about who I am if I didn't like you and trust you. I guess I'm just a bit weirder than expected, though, right?"
• "I was out for a stroll and caught a ghost Sim using their abilities right out in the street. It tickles me a little to see them possess musical objects, which I’ve also seen when invited over to spend time with a ghost. It’s hard not to envy powers like those."
• "Do you even hear an inner voice telling you to be mean? I mean, certainly that’s something every Sim experiences, isn’t it? But how often is the real question, isn’t it?"

Trivia

• His name is a pun of "lay in coffin".
