The Name's Oliver - Ben Oliver. Ch. 159: Duty vs Ethics, Pt. II

[Swirl-Girl]

It's so exciting to observe what everyone else is doing, and yes, I am a double spy, and proud. Where my true allegiances lie, you may never know.

[RainBeau]

Swirl-Girl, can't tell if you are speaking in character or not.

Hazel: A double spy? You mean you aren't firmly on the side of Good? Oh Watcher, what have I got myself into?!

[chetanhaobijam]

Tomba: It was not Keira talking, but the double agent Swirl-Girl. Remeber what Keira said in the class, she works for both good and evil.:| She make patterns for both us(good) and ESCARGOT(evil). Watch out for her, she can do anything.
(i mean no offence to Squirt)

[RainBeau]

Ohhhh I get it now, I wondered where that was coming from! Hahahahah thanks Chetan.

[Audren]

True fashion is cross-cultural, after all.

I rather like the duality to all of this. Ben's teaching at a spying school for the Top-Hush Bottom-Lip team, but not far away lurks the omnious Recruitment Drive. I'd say that's a coincedence, but with you, I rather doubt it. 

[Swirl-Girl]

Yep, Chetan got it right. For the moment I seem to be doing something for the side of good. But you never know with me. *Cue the Twilight Zone*

[karlissa]

I just read the whole thing and just wow, the parts I found most shocking were the opposite personality one and the prison one.

Coincidence?  Of course not!  ESCARGOT is a thoroughly modern organization!  Computer-savvy, right?  Definitely in touch with important events that might affect the organization.  So if the good guys are holding a spy school and training agents for their side, naturally ESCARGOT is going to be needing reinforcements.

Oh boy...that could be trouble.

[Swirl-Girl]

I was thinking about making a custom pattern to give me an edge in the competition, but with being featured so much, I thought that it might be considered cheating.

[Schipperke]

Oh boy...that could be trouble.

Yes, well, a word of warning to the students:  your instructor had better not learn that any of you are secretly applying to ESCARGOT!  Not unless you are secretly hoping to be the first student expelled from Spy School.

Ohhh no, not Jasper. What would ESCARGOT do with a neurotic goody-two-shoes, anyway?

Spying - A People Profession.  II. Albus

Team Albus Assignment: White, the colour of purity, cleanliness, and innocence.  In the Westerns, the good guys wear white hats.  Of course, there's nothing to stop the bad guys from buying a white hat in order to divert suspicion from them.  As a member of the White team, you are always interested in recruiting new allies.  How can you tell which SV residents might be receptive to your approach?  Simple - just get to know them, and they'll tell you of their fondness for your cause.Your task is to befriend three SV residents who have white as their favourite colour.

Because there aren't very many SV Sims who have white as their favourite colour and of the ones who favour white, several of them are children, who might be harder to track down than adults, the Team Albus Members were given the option of including Sims with off-white (seafoam) in their target group.  But both Team Albus members declined the opportunity to make the task easier - they both went for White only.  Kudos to Team Albus for their dedication!  There's no doubt that they had a more challenging assignment than either of the other two teams. 

Scoring:  Please record the number of interactions it took for you to become friends with each of your targets.

3.  Coline Gramarette & Handler Danielle Haydis

Our assignment was to find and make friends with people whose favorite color was white. Of course, I didn't know who in this town liked white, so I took a quick visit to City Hall. With a bit of sweet-talking, I was able to access the city records.



I was discouraged to say the least. Only 4 people liked white and two of those were children. I was especially discouraged by the children. I couldn't contact them easily since their school ended when my job started.

I decided to make friends first with the ones I could contact. One of them was Madison VanWatson of the Working Friends household.



I wasn't able to become friends with her before I had to go to work. I came back right after work and I became friends with her.



Next was Stiles McGraw of the Roomies Household. I was surprised to learn that he lived right next to the working Friends household but he wasn't home. By chance, I met him at the park.



I only got to acquaintance before he had to go to work.

I decided to go visit Kaylynn Langerak. She was one of the persons on the list. And...she wasn't home. Luckily the Bunch Household was nearby so I went there. One of the Bunch kids, Arlo, liked white so I tried to befriend him instead. But he wasn't home either. I'm starting to think the aliens are abducting the people I need.

The next day I visited the Roomies household. Stiles was there. I was able to confirm that his favorite color was white and I was able to become friends with him.





I visited the Bunch household again and lo and behold, Arlo was there. He told me that his favorite color is white.



I was able to get acquainted with him before I had to go home.

The next day I found Arlo at the park. It took me almost the whole afternoon but I was able to befriend him.
 


After that I was done.

Madison VonWatson - 21 interactions
Stiles McGraw- 28 interactions
Arlo Bunch - 30 interactions


4.  Ezagutza Obsedat & Handler Wiry:




What a fortuitous event! On the day of my first real assignment, Ayesha called and talked about her weirdo neighbor that was so average, his favorite color was white!  White is not an average color however, it is the color of perfection, the color of perfect knowledge. White is the only color that matters!



Stiles McGraw and and I hit it off nicely, becoming friends in fifteen interactions. I enlightened him as to the meaning of white, it being the color of perfect light.  He listened very intently, his neatness agreeing with what I was saying.



I was the guest of honor at an assembly at school that day, too. I asked questions of all the students and one of them was "What is your favorite color?"  Two students answered "White."



Arlo was a lover of the outdoors, and he was curious to know WHY all light was white at first. Wasn't the sun yellow?  Nope! The sun's light is actually white! He and I became great friends in nineteen interactions. He represents no threat, but he can keep an eye on his Knowledge-indifferent mother.  He is also athletic, and quite an excitable child. He may prove an asset when trying to extract knowledge that only a curious child might want. I had one more friend to make, so I sent Arlo home magically.



Kaylynn Langerak was my kind of Sim.  She is the stereotypical perfect student and accepts nothing shy of perfect order in her endeavors. She was enthralled by my ability to  magically clean things, and we became friends in just eight interactions. She loved how perfectly white and clean my clothes were, and I was happy to inform her about the wonders of White. I see her becoming a protege to me, she can be of much more use than Arlo as she has a much better reputation.

[RaiaDraconis]

Eight interactions to befriend Kaylynn. I am seriously impressed!

Eight interactions to befriend Kaylynn. I am seriously impressed!

Genie Magic Cleaning was giving a large relationship boost, so he kept doing it, and Kaylynn loved it. Nothing really innovative.
