Chapter Thirty Three
Ray: Man time sure does fly when you're having fun. Or busy. Or both.
That it does. Seems like just yesterday that Tarkett was born.Ray: And now he's already 2 days into childhood.
Sorry I missed the shots of him growing up...Ray: Oh well. I'll always remember the first time I saw him... Obviously a Geek like me, first thing he wanted to do was talk about that new show.
Ray: Great grandpa Kell read him a book later. The title of it was a little odd... "In Which Ponies appear" or something like that.
Oh, that's one of Amira's books I think. An earlier work.
Ray: My work has been keeping me distracted.
Yeah, feels like we spend most of the day there, it's hard to keep up with event's back home.Ray: Chief handed me a pack of documents and told me "Solve it by the end of the day."
Ray: Found her by mid-afternoon, next up was the interrogation. Chief put me in charge of it this time.
Pretty impressive you found her so quick.Ray: All the clues were already there, I just had to put them together.
Ray: First thing I did was ask if she'd done it. She responded, of course, that she had nothing to do with it. I figured I should give her the chance to talk before starting in.
Ray: Laid out the evidence right in front of her. We had her prints at the scene, with a witness that was able to pick her out of a lineup.
Ray: She got pretty upset at that, though she still wouldn't admit to anything.
Ray: When I mentioned that we had her partner in custody, and that whoever gave us info first, well... maybe they'd get their time cut...
Ray: She admitted to the whole thing. I put her in the cell with her partner, and gave the papers to Chief.
Ray: Then it was on to another case.
No, this was the next day.Ray: What? I don't remember going home then...
That's because you were so tired you passed out on a bed and slept so long that when you woke up you had to go straight to work.
Ray: Well this day was pretty easy then... Someone had broken all the PCs in the library and painted graffiti everywhere. Pretty standard day too, take photos, get fingerprints, interview the ghost.
I should cut you off here and mention that while you were working, at the house...
Your mom and your wife both had their birthdays.
Ray: Alright, I'll admit that that's a little weird, so back to my work day instead!
Ray: I got to work analyzing all the DNA samples, and cross-referencing the fingerprints. Pretty soon I had a good number of clues about the perp... Blond hair, Male Teen, loves the outdoors, wearing a jacket, also loves smashing PCs.
Ray: Picked him up in the park due to some call-ins for suspicious activity. Apparently his name is Lucas.
Ray: I got to interrogate Lucas. Went much quicker than the last one... Lucas confessed as soon as he saw the evidence.
And that got you the promotion.Ray: Yeah. I actually should have been promoted the day before, but I needed to close another case. Like the Chief said, my performance was fine, my paperwork needed to be filed.
Post-Story Story:
Alright, where to start... haven't done one of these in a while. So... I suppose I'll cover whatever comes to mind!
Nick was in sparkles when he ate his first ambrosia. I'd gotten a bit lax on his requirements while I focused on Ken, and almost lost due to that.
Zara came into the house at level 9 of Astronaut. A very nice bonus.
I've started to get worried about how much potion of youth I need. I did some calculations, and from where I'm at to the end of the dynasty is going to take 80 more potions of youth (and this is assuming I counted correctly). This is a lot. That's like... 120,000 aspiration points a lot. If I had realized how many of these things you'd need throughout the game, I'd have been stockpiling them, not to mention playing differently (more focused on whims/side aspirations). I'm thinking it'll be close, but I should be able to get enough.
What else... This is my 4th generation natural male Heir. So including my Founder, that's 5 male dynasty Sims in a row... What are the odds. Actually no I can do that, it's 6.25%. I've still got a 50/50 for boy on my next Heir, but if I do get a male Heir there was only a 3.125% chance of that happening when I started this game. Weird how odds work like that.
What else... Ray is done with both aspirations but is only at level 6 Policeman going into Adult. I'm not overly worried, I can hack work performance and Call about raise with about 90% success, so that cuts down promotions times by a ton.
Kett (the new one, Gen 5 Heir, cute with red hair and blue skin) is done with 3 aspirations. I'm bleeding over into the future chapters a bit here, but in my head its all done and past so it's hard to remember exactly when I'm at, chapter-wise. So Kett's done with 3 child aspirations, wont be doing the 4th because... social. Hates it.
I've got Ray and Amira both done with the Writer aspiration, so it's Books of Life for everyone! Never realized till recently how amazingly strong the Book of Life is. Enough that I would give serious thought to starting out with a Writer, were I to do a legacy.
That's all I got for now, If ya got any post-story-storyish questions and/or gameplay questions feel free to ask and I'll put it in the next post-story story. thing.
