Spoiler: Day 5 in the Haus! (click to show/hide)

RedKing is up very early. Remember, he went to bed at 7pm, and is now up at ~4am.


Barbarossa dreams about his bed. I think we can check that one off.


RedKing sprints across the rec room, like a gazelle being chased by a predator. I have no idea why he's running.


Aah, freedom. The rain has finally stopped. Also note the moon in the background. Now is not the time to be awake and about town, RedKing!


You have reached your destination: Little Corsican Bistro. RedKing is now gainfully employed! He's a bus-person.


On the way home, Red finds the biggest seed you'll ever see in your life. Holy crap, that thing is big.


RK celebrates his newfound income by making himself breakfast. I'll give you one guess as to what it is he's making.


The mail carrier throws the bills onto the ground and begins yelling at them.


He then sprints away from the Haus, looking over his shoulder with a terrified expression on his face. Maybe it's not just you guys. Maybe this whole damn town is crazy.


Have you guessed, yet? I bet you can figure it out.


Barbarossa dreams about...not swimming? That's very specific.


This shower has been broken all night. Our bills are going to be so damned high.


Finally, something we can use! Computer time it is.


The rain starts up again just as I head outside to pay the bills.


The papergirl is kind of creepy. Why are you that close to me, papergirl?


Japa struts his way through the bathroom. Also pictured: I fix that damned shower.


I'd give you one guess as to what Wolfeyez is making, but you'd probably be wrong.


Suddenly, everyone else decides to wake up.


Almost done with the shower. At least I can't electrocute myself in the shower.


Japa eschews waffles in favor of leftover macaroni. Barbarossa's charcoal is stinking up the place in the background.


Burnt Pies and Barbarossa play games, and I have a seat and just relax a moment.


RedKing is a bubble wizard! Spoooooky bubbles.


I fire up a racing game, and Barbarossa fires up the ol' hacking skills. This is not how you're supposed to get free money from the government, Barbarossa.


Vector and RedKing chitchat over breakfast. Seems like they really have made up.


Sappho breaks the shower next to the one I just fixed. *sigh*


Japa begins tinkering with the shower I just fixed. Apparently, I didn't do a good enough job.


Vector helps with the dishes. I approve. Also, RedKing is pro at invading personal space bubbles. Hehe, bubbles.


Pumpkin pie for breakfast? Wolfeyez is the greatest.


Vector and RedKing chat about cooking and food. RedKing gives the seed he found earlier to Vector. Problem is, it's a Special seed, meaning she can't plant it until she gets to Gardening level 7. Vector's gardening is currently at 2.


So, Vector starts grinding that gardening skill.


Sappho lazes about playing video games.


We have a new dishwasher! This is the last of the big purchases for a while, as we're very short on cash now.


That toilet is dirty, and I don't look happy about the prospect of cleaning it.


Ding! Barbarossa is done hacking. He's gotten us 59 simoleons without getting busted.


Burnt Pies settles in with a good cookbook.


Mmm, pumpkin pie. Thankfully, this was Wolfeyez' cooking, not BP's.


Barbarossa opts for a hot dog based breakfast. Crazy stickman.


Vector is done weeding the garden, and she runs inside from the rain, which is picking up some.


Wolfeyez is cleaning the habitat. Damn broken showers, anyway.


Japa has gotten dressed for work! Wait, wtf, man? You're a cashier! Where did you even get this outfit!?


Much better. Much more appropriate, as well.


Do not be late for work, Japa! Run, man! (He was about 4 hours early for his 3 hour shift.)


Japa sees a ghost on his way in to work! Hopefully, it didn't affect his work performance.


RedKing sends a text to Vector, who is in the next room over.


He then calls his new boss. "Why yes, I do live in a halfway haus full of crazy people. Why do you ask?"


Barbarossa decides to attack the chatrooms.


This picture reminds me of something that I forgot to mention. Vector went shopping earlier! She went to the grocery store to buy more produce to plant. This lemon, though...


OM NOM NOM LEMON SQUEEZING NOM.


I have no idea what RedKing and his boss are talking about. In fact, I probably don't want to know.


Wolfeyez' cleaning frenzy continues. This is what happens when you guys destroy all the showers.


Vector decides to work out. Maybe this wasn't the best decision, but hey, you have to get started somewhere.


Burnt Pies decides to make with the food offering. Hongry Pies.


Where have I been this whole time? Outside, in the rain, smashing rocks with my bare hands. You're welcome. (The white one on the left is actually a diamond! It's not worth a ton, but I made enough to cover those bills from earlier.)


Sappho kicks everyone out of the living room and takes a nap. Shhh.


Was PB&J in the cookbook? Laziest. Dinner. Ever.


So many beds to make. Good luck, Commander.


RedKing knows he has to shower, but he doesn't have to like it.


Sandvich makes me stronk!


Sappho goes back to her true love: Clay.


So let me get this straight. The hydrophobic and the agoraphobic decide to have a water balloon fight outside in the rain away from the lights, one of the combatants wearing their pajamas. I don't even.


I'M HIT! AAH, MY LEG! Wait...


That logic up there is too strong. RedKing and BurntPies both head indoors at top speed.


Vector dives into a book. That book? "Abstract With Turkey." No, seriously.


Japa bikes home through the rain.


Burnt Pies decides that it's time to drum out.


Barbarossa has done everything one can do on the computer today: He's hacked, chatted, played a video game, flirted, and now destroyed one trying to overclock it. Cycle complete.


Not to be outdone, Wolfeyez destroys hers, too. Damn it, Wolfeyez, you're not supposed to be one of the crazy ones! I mean...are you? Japa sets about fixing the first one.


"Gee, I hope no one saw that."


Pictured: Not a band. Not even remotely. We're so terrible.


Sappho makes progress on her newest creation! What could she possibly be making now?


Japa has fixed both computers! Huzzah!


Not satisfied with his work on the second computer, he sets about upgrading it. These computers cost a lot of money to be as terrible as they are.


RedKing puts away the pile of peanut butter sandviches. Peanut butter is part of a mentally unbalanced dinner, apparently.


Barbarossa on bass! That's like the euphonium, right?


Burnt Pies on drums! Woo!


Wolfeyez looks so incredibly thrilled to be on keyboards.


And me on lead guitar/frontman face. Together we are...still not a band. Still terrible.


I get it, Sappho, we need more chairs. I really understand.


RedKing, the hot dogs are salty enough as it is. They don't need more salt!


Vector hits the hay! Wolfeyez changed out the sheets and blankets when she made the beds! (Well, in all actuality, I abused the create-a-style feature. Everyone has a custom bed based on their favorite color and something I know about them. Vector's love of geometry, spice brown, and
plants, for example. Helps me tell them apart. If you want me to abuse the create-a-style tool on anything else of yours, including your clothes, let me know.)


RedKing grills in the rain. I should probably put up a gazebo or something.


The girls' beds. Also, them sleeping.


Japa has made the computer unbreakable! Take that, Barbarossa and Wolfeyez!


RedKing dreams of being the best chef EVAR. Someday, RK. Someday.


Barbarossa and the guys' beds. In order from the left, Japa's bed, RedKing's bed, Barbarossa, and Barbarossa's bed.


RedKing hits the hay after the grilling incident. He didn't even eat a hotdog after going to all the trouble to make them. In the rain!


What is in this peanut butter!?


Japa, in penance for hogging the sink yesterday, I'd imagine, sets about cleaning up all the dishes. He's the only one awake.


Nothing could possibly go wrong here. At least he's wearing safety goggles.


Japa actually spent so long mixing totally inert chemicals that Vector wakes up before he goes to bed.


Sappho beats Vector to the kitchen by taking a shortcut through the bathroom.
That's where we'll leave off!

tl;dr: The Haus is short on cash. Japa made §90 from work and fixed the computers. Barbarossa made §54 by hacking. I pulled in §528 with my mad rock crushing skillz. Vector has a super secret unknown seed. Sappho made another chair. I'm terrible at guitar. Wolfeyez made pie and cleaned everything. Burnt Pies never changed out of her pajamas. RedKing got a job and woke up way too early. I've started abusing the create-a-style tool, and you can make requests!

[NAV]

This is funny. Can I have a cameo?

[Yoink]

That shot of Barbarossa sheepishly playing the bass after breaking the computer made me laugh out loud.

[Reudh]

Posting to watch, maybe to waitlist at some point.

Also, related to the swimming discussion - myself, I find treading water exceptionally easy, as well as floating - i'm just terrible at the motions of swimming. (My lung capacity is roughly 10% larger than the average 22 year old male, at 5L vs. 4.5L.)

[Rose]

I can float on my back in saltwater, but not in fresh water.

[Cptn Kaladin Anrizlokum]

The title is bothering me, are you going to change it to day five? I was actually disappointed because I thought you hadn't posted the update yet...

[MaximumZero]

Sorry, thought I did. Done now!

[scrdest]

Love the first band picture.

From the left:

'GUYS MY FINGER GOT STUCK UNDER A STRING AND IT HURTS!'. Alternatively, 'I'M ROCKING AND I CAN'T STOOOOOP!'
'*sigh* fucking computer-y, synthetic beeps, give me a grand piano'
'...we suck so hard >.>'
'I'mma play the SHIT outta these drums!'

[RedKing]

Wet pajama contest. Awwww yeah.

Day 6 actions:
>go to work
>Flirt online (how does that work, is it flirting with NPC Sims in town?)

[MaximumZero]

how does that work, is it flirting with NPC Sims in town?)

Yup. There's also online dating. Also, go to work is pretty much an assumed action. You don't have to specify that.

[RedKing]

Oh. Well then, let me change to:

>Flirt online (how does that work, is it flirting with NPC Sims in town?)
>read a cookbook (so that I can learn how to make something other than Waffles of Doom)

[Yoink]

Remember to specify if you want to ditch work, though.

Also: I can haz cameo?

[Shakerag]

posting to waffle

I could make those of you wanting cameos into background characters, but that would effectively preclude you from joining the Haus in the future, as you'd follow the storyline of the neighborhood, getting married, having kids, getting old and dying and such.

Plus, it would imply a Bay12er is sane. And we just can't have our reputation tarnished like that.
