Ch. 11: Just Wasting TimeHmmm, where to start. How about Kassy getting arrested?! Yep. I sent her to the spa early one morning before school and halfway through it (and $3000 later) a cop shows up to tell her she's out past her curfew... at 5 in the morning. That made me pretty angry.
Oh, and it made Jeremy angry too, but he directed his anger towards Kassy and not the policeman.
Oh, and remember Conrad Peddler, Jenny's son? Well, here he is as a teen. He's turned out pretty rough, genetics wise. Is he biting his lip or something?
Meanwhile, Katrina has achieved her lifetime wish of Become a Creature-Robot Crossbreeder. She has also been working on getting some Life Fruit into her garden, which Jeremy appreciates. He's 80 now, so I'm feeding him a Life Fruit every now and them just to keep him alive to get his 10 Masterpieces written.
And since I'm not sure that Jeremy will ever get his books finished, I send him and Kassy on a short trip to China. Jeremy purchases the LTR Prepared Traveler, so the two are gone for 6 days. That counts as 12 according to the rules and I didn't use any vacation days from the first household, so I still have 8 left. While on vacation, Jeremy mainly works on his Masterpieces. He's only finished 4 of them.
And Kassy? She works on her Martial Arts skill. I'm going to use her gems from board breaking as a backup to Jeremy's novels. I really don't want to fail at this challenge! As you can tell, Kassy isn't very good at this whole kicking thing yet. She doesn't want to mess up her pedicure, but she insists on kicking with her one manicured foot. You know, the lady at the spa never got to finish her other foot.
Kassy slowly gets better, though.
...and worse.
But thanks to the Moodlet Manager, she keeps going all hours of the day and night.
As a result, she quickly progresses through her belts and is at level 10 by the last day of the trip.
Oh, I guess we should go back to Jeremy. He still seems to be writing.
And he's freaking out a little bit, because he's afraid he won't be able to write enough books. He did manage to write two more while on vacation, though. I had Katrina make him a bunch of Sleeping Elixers, so he wouldn't need much sleep while on vacation. I only have one Moodlet Manager, and I thought Kassy would make more use out of it.
Back to Kassy, she's just finished the Break 150 Boards skill challenge. I can't remember what it's really called, haha.
And shortly after, she breaks her first Space Rock. By the end of the trip, she has amassed quite a few gems.
That's it for now, everybody! I was a bit disappointed with the newest of my ideas, though. When I sent Jeremy and Kassy to Shang Simla, Jeremy was very close to finishing one of his novels. I was hoping that receiving a novel while on vacation would increase its value upon returning home, but it didn't. I also ordered copies of all his older novels while on vacation, because I thought the value would increase on those too but no luck! Jeremy has a total of 6 Masterpieces done now. I'll definitely be needing to Moodlet Manage him 24/7 from now til he either dies or is done! And Kassy will be keeping her gems from now on.
