Today I headed to Strangetown to play the Davis family (Almeric, Rebecka and Al).
On Wednesday Rebecka was promoted to Bagman and headed straight to bed exhausted after work. Almeric invited his BFF Ophelia Nigmos over to hang out after work. He also decided that now that Al was a child the family needed to get a pet to teach him responsibility. Almeric called the pet adoption agency and adopted a puppy named Leroy. Rebecka was up from her nap at 10pm and Al finished all his homework before bed.
Rebecka spent the early hours of Thursday morning updating her cuisine blog. In the living room, Ophelia Nigmos was being pursued by townie Phil Jitmakusol thanks to ACR.
Rebecka served up a midnight snack of chef salad and then spent the wee hours bonding with Leroy. After once again updating her cuisine blog (I swear she's as bad as I am - updating every time she does anything related to her hobby) she spent a few hours playing SSX3 and darts. When Al got up, he spent some time jumping rope in the kitchen until it was time for him to go to school. It was Almeric's day off. He served up a delicious pancake breakfast for himself. Leroy grew in to a healthy adult dog. Al earned his first ever A+ report card and was incredibly excited about it. Rebecka headed off for her first night of work as a Bagman. Almeric spent the evening poring over his self help books and learned the secret to lifelong happiness. Afterwards he called Phil Jitmakusol for a chat in the hopes of getting to know him better and they became friends. Al once again tackled his homework before bed.
The early hours of Friday morning saw Rebecka get promoted to Bookie and fall straight in to bed exhausted. Almeric served a basic breakfast of cereal for the family and Al jumped rope in the kitchen again before school and earned a body point. Almeric settled down on the couch to watch a dvd before work. Rebecka spent some time updating her cuisine blog before purchasing an easel with her promotion money and practicing her painting skills to gain a much needed creativity point before she had to go to work. After work she updating her cuisine blog yet again. Almeric called all his friends to invite them to a house party that evening. Rebecka continued her painting and gained another creativity point, which she also needed. Al plowed through his homework early and Almeric jumped on the computer to find Leroy a job in the Showbiz career as an Extra. Afterwards, he called townie Jay Bruty for a quick chat before bed. Everybody at the party had a good time.
Later on, I didn't stray far. I decided to play the Loner family in Strangetown, as I've been neglecting them terribly lately. It consists of Ajay Loner, his wife Holly, and their twin daughters Jeevika and Milony (currently children, and non-identical). Ajay works in the medical career as a Paramedic and Holly works in the business career as a Business Executive. The family has two cats; Alvin and Angel. Alvin is a working kitty in the showbiz career as an Understudy, but Angel is a stay-at-home, regular cat.
Saturday was one of Holly's days off. She and Jeevika caught up on the highlights of their past week and became best friends. Ajay spent much of the day playing the family's piano and gained a creativity point. Holly served up some delicious chili con carne for lunch and Milony spent much of the afternoon jumping on Jeevika's bed. Jeevika sat down with her mother's cookbooks and gained herself a cooking point. Ajay finally gained membership to My Muse - Music & Dance Studio before heading to work. Milony took over from him on the piano and gained a creativity point of her own. Jeevika spent the evening stargazing through the telescope and gained a logic point.
Milony started Sunday morning by playing some more piano and gaining another creativity point. Jeevika and Holly spent the early hours of the morning hanging out together in the front yard. Holly had the day off again and served a basic breakfast of cereal for the girls. Ajay once again spent much of the day at the piano. Milony decided to man her lemonade stand but only sold one cup of lemonade. She headed back inside to watch a dvd and some regular Sunday programming. Holly called townie Brittany Wendland for a chat and it turned out Brittany also works in the business career - she promised to pull some strings to make sure Holly gets higher wages from now on. Ajay headed off to work, vacating the piano for Milony, who gained another creativity point. Holly called Bruce Rauscher for a chat in the hopes of getting to know him better and was not at all tired so decided to pull an all-nighter.
In the early hours of Monday, Holly served a midnight snack of crepes suzette, which only she ate. She headed to her easel to begin a painting. Ajay played piano yet again and gained another creativity point. Holly and Jeevika became BFFs and Holly went off to work. Jeevika managed to fit in time for a dvd before school. Holly was promoted to Senior Manager and Ajay reached maximum enthusiasm in music and dance. Holly invited Bruce Rauscher over to hang out after work. It was the twins' birthday and they both grew up well in to teenagers. Jeevika grew in to a fortune sim and Milony grew in to a family sim. Ajay headed to work and Milony tackled her homework, though Jeevika was too sleepy to finish hers. Holly served up some hamburgers for dinner and then continued work on her painting, gaining a creativity point in the process. Ajay was promoted to Nurse and grew up well in to an elder.
