Caretakers Journal Week 5 – Tue-Wed: Deep PurpleTuesday morning and Coral popped round. I expanded my campaign to get graduates into gainful employment and suggested she find a career. She’s thinking about it which is great. I totally failed when I tried the same with Robyn. She told me to butt out!
It was so sweet of Flint to get in touch. I checked
with Watcher the rules and they said that it was OK for an aspiration and I didn’t want to shoot Flint down so I set aspiration to Soulmate and we went on a date!
I was so nervous until I realized that I’d still got Matias’s cowplant essence of flirtation. I checked
with Watcher –
the rules (oh who am I kidding) with Watcher (who does exist!) again and she said it was reward potions that were banned. Nothing about cowplant potions. And after all she wrote up the rules and it was her game and isn’t Flint cute! She’s very chatty now I’m starting to listen to her again.
Flint and I talked and talked. I love that he still wears his Sashiko trousers – why do invisible mending when you can make it beautiful? I told him about Watcher and he said he remembered having a Watcher before.
Flint told me I look beautiful when I’m Erratic. We make a great couple. I just wish I was brave enough to ask him to be my boyfriend…
When I got back from my date the others were all raring to go to the gym in San Myshuno. We’ve not been there before. The trainer really did her job with Melissa who is our first Resident to get to level 5 painting but hasn’t gone near the fitness equipment.
I thought Kash had been avoiding the fitness equipment too but he must have been working behind the scenes and really went for it at the Gym. He’s only at level 3 and I would have liked to get that higher but he is now and Active Sim instead of Lazy so he’ll get there.
We had time for a Black & White party before it got too late. I was happy with my monochrome outfit although I do prefer more colour. I quickly started a black and white cake.
Kash has been here possible the shortest time of all. We didn’t get close but I’m proud of him. He’s got a 2 bed place in Mt Komorebi, a spare bed for Matias if/when he wants it. He may be no longer Lazy but he’s gifted us with a Spa chair, something he would have loved in here.
I was still wearing my monochrome finery when our first Alien Resident joined us. Gulliver is a Slob. No I’m not being rude. It’s a recognized condition. He’s here to either neaten up or find another way of being a valued member of society.
L-to-R: Joel, Jacqueline, Gulliver, Sky Not Blue, Matias, Cadence, Melissa, Hector
He asked me about my name and was worried I was colourist as I was all in white. I reassured him and said I love his deep purple skin, which I do. For some reason I want to call him Theodore. I do wonder about my name every now and then. It is unusual. I suggested Gulliver could start with Fitness therapy which he Liked straight away.
Besides being a Slob, Gulliver is also a Freegan. Goodness knows what he found in our trash but I’ve made a note to be extra careful when checking his Inventory.
Thursday breakfast Gulliver joined Joel and Hector to make bacon and eggs. It really is such a good way for our Residents to get to know each other. We’ve been getting lots of autonomous hugs in the Facility. The community aspect of this place is working perfectly. Do you like our Wall of Graduates? I’m hoping it encourages people.
With Autumn here there is an end to the constant high temperatures which is a relief but the heavy rain re-introduced the Facility showering tradition. I’d forgotten all about that.
Watcher: Me too.
In for a penny, in for a pound! The Voice kept guard for me.
I decided that a different world, where it’s not raining, might be just the ticket. According, we all went on a nature hike near Kash’s new pad. I was slightly disappointed that he didn’t join us. I hope he’s not slipping back into Lazy ways.
On the bridge, my guide book said there was a photo op. I don’t know why some people just took selfies but some of us got some nice views. Hector found a snack in his pocket. In fact everyone seemed to have brought a snack except me.
While we were in the middle of nowhere, my friend Summer phoned to say she’d just adopted a baby and would we like to go visit. I told her it would be a little while but yes!
Cadence was worried the Forest Sprites were part of a share delusion but I showed everyone how to make a wish and got $100 in the process!
Summer was surprised to see us all. She’d forgotten that I have to bring everyone with me except on a date. Yes, it was still raining back in Willow Creek.
We met Travis and he decided to brew some weird home-remedy for us. Of course he started a fire.
Watcher: I’ve checked – that doesn’t affect our score.
It did affect us as we all ran to see what happened. Matias once again joined me in putting it out. It was scary but he must be feeling confident, just like me, that we can handle ourselves in an emergency. By the way, no-one went to rescue the baby.
After the fire we went out to the front to note that Gulliver’s purple skin really does cover his whole body.
