Goddammit people stop setting your butts on fire!

[Rose]

For Sanju:
> Learn some kung fu fighting
   Become as fast as lightning
  (And maybe just a little bit frightening)
> Do gardening

For me:
> do SCIENCE on that tube looking thing, whatever it is.
> read books on sports. (That's how you get good at handegg, right?)

[WillowLuman]

Wait wait wait

Is that Chuck Norris?

[Kadzar]

At first I though it was Solifuge, but he doesn't have glasses.

Spoiler: FILE PHOTO (click to show/hide)

I think I'm bad at comparing people's appearances.

[Sheb]

Also distinct lack of tortoise.

[Tiruin]

I think I'm bad at comparing people's appearances.

Same here, or it may be the sickness.
...Solifuge looks nice as I remember his photo. Mmph. Unspoken minor details. >_>

[MaximumZero]

There is a distinct lack of Solifuge in the sign up list.

[Yoink]

OH GODS NO IT'S A SPHERE OF ANNIHILATION IN DISGUISE, ISN'T IT

EITHER THAT OR IT'S GOING TO TELEPORT MY BRAIN INTO ANOTHER PLANE OF EXISTENCE D:

I'll keep up with these as best I can, but some of the messages go by so quickly that I'm bound to miss a few.

HugoLuman is now the boss of several sims in the Business career.

birdy51 made the newspapers today by a) becoming a 2 star celebrity, b) getting married, and c) having a baby on the way with a local paparazzi girl. That was fast.


Scriver Bay12 is now in the town!

DarkPaladin Bay12 is now in the town!

Spoiler: Halfway Haus of Madness Day 18: Motives and Madness! (click to show/hide)

The day begins! Sappho is hongry.

There is paparazzi on our lawn at like, 4am. GO HOME AND SLEEP YOU FUCK! She's currently bitching about the door being locked. Yeah.

Sappho can haz cheeseburger. RedKing is southern, so I'm sure that there are cheese on those burgers.

Japa has a morning strut going on.

He struts his way to the workbench and immediately smacks his fingers with a hammer. Well done.

I put in a second workbench. No way that could go wrong.

Sappho made a thing! It was not worth very much money.

Sappho made another thing! It's fire! On her butt! Japa has still made nothing.

FUUUUUUUUUUUUU--

Huh, smells like Sappho set herself on fire. I'd better casually stroll in here to put her out.

Thankfully, Sappho makes it to a shower before sustaining any serious injuries.

Sanju comes upstairs to be immediately greeted by Japa.

Japa is feeling mighty flirty today, I guess.

Sappho made a thing! It's a little robot toy!

She then immediately electrocuted herself. I think that's enough workbench for now.

Pictured: Vector eating something because she knows RedKing wouldn't poison us all to get at her. Or would he? No, he would not. I would punch him.

Yoink congratulates Tiruin on doing the medicine thingy, and wishes he could wear a cool stethoscope, too.

Japa needs gardening to get ahead at his job, so out into the garden he goes. I have no idea why he needs gardening and not science, but that's the way it is.

Sappho reads a book on not setting herself on fire. Inventing I: Nuts and Bolts.

RedKing cleans under the coffee maker, Vector is too close to him, and Tiruin is way too close to him.

Sanju, RedKing, and Tiruin watch some cooking tv. They all learn new recipes.

Sappho is still reading, and Vector is doing something online.

No matter how hard I tried, I could not keep Yoink out of the Plasma Punch Gyroscopic Conductor. It has a fancy name, but it's just a space ring. No need to worry. It doesn't do portals. Yet.

Yoink goes and looks at things in the TeaHaus. There is some neat stuff there. Also, the tea machines make coffee, too.

Mmm, delicious caffiene.

I hit the gym, as I am not beefy enough yet. One of these days, I'll be so beefy someone will stamp me "Grade A."

Japa sits down with a book on gardening. Gotta grind up that work skill.

Kal begins a new statue. Hopefully it turns out neat.

Tiruin does the dishes, which I always appreciate.

!!SCIENCE!!

Yoink takes care of some dead plants in the garden.

That's cold, Sanju. Not even sitting at the same table as Japa. Seating isn't assigned, you know.

Sappho takes a break from setting herself on fire and electrocuting herself. Time not doing those things is time well spent.

Vector joins her in the teahaus. Calm and peaceful.

Yoink also engages in !!SCIENCE!! Tiruin is still working on the other machine. (This improves Yoink's Guitar skill by one. The seated machine allows you to pick a skill and probably improve it by one. There can be nasty side effects. It also does other things. Read about it here.)

DING! You've got mail!

RedKing gets a painting in the mail from one of his married admirers, and a plant from another one. Wat.

The plant in question. (The painting wasn't anything super, either.)

Emboldened by this, RedKing calls up his ladyfriend.

Yoink tells his own fortune. Sadly, this would be one of the last times this item was used, as it caused huge lag, everyone wanted to use it all the time, and didn't work properly.

Sappho is at the drafting table. This actually raises painting skill.

Kal's statue is coming along nicely.

RedKing's ladyfriend came over. I...have no idea what they're talking about.

Wolfeyez and Sanju are bonding the only way Wolfeyez knows how.

Tiruin is dressed for work! Uh, no shoes would be a bad idea in a hospital. Also, that skirt is too short. Let's try something else.

Boom, much more medical. Now, let's go practice medicine.

I have really got to watch where I put my keys.

Vector plants some new seeds that randomly popped up in the yard!

Japa does, too! His aren't "Special" quality, though. He can't plant those yet.

Vector continues painting in the teahaus.

Yoink at the new alchemy station. Probably trying to find a way to bring back Barbarossa.

Wolfeyez smacks a gnome. BONK BONK

Japa watches the gardening channel. He'll get promoted in no time.

RedKing talks to Aina about cooking whilst midair. Aina is a Natural Cook.

Wolfeyez is dominating the high score tables in the arcade. All that playing catch has paid off.

Yoink is back at the chemistry table.

BOING BOING BOING

RedKing tries to beat Wolfeyez' high score. Alas, he cannot.

Sanju thinks about all the grim things that have happened around here. She's helping Wolfeyez clean.

Sappho made a thing! If you turn it on, the ducky floats between the magnets.

Wolfeyez and Japa watching the gardening channel.

Sanju and I join in. Sanju has no gardening skill, so she can't gain skill from it yet. Also, she looks very confused. Also also, why are we sitting like this? Shouldn't I be next to Wolfeyez and Japa be sitting next to Sanju?

Kal is interrupted by a date invitation! However, it's one of the married ladies that also likes RedKing. Kal passes on the offer.

RedKing gets to know Aina a little better. She's a maid by trade, and is a Cancer.

Much food will be made.

RedKing continues getting to know Aina.

Vector finishes her painting. That's a lot of white space, there, Vec.

Yoink made a potion! It's a Liquid Horror potion, and I don't really want that in the Haus. So I sold it. That said, Yoink can now make these whenever.

Sappho made a thing! It's fire again!

Sappho is really getting tired from all the running to the shower. Maybe I should move one closer. Or she could stop setting herself on fire. Either way.

Leap for all you're worth!

Aina thinks it's neat knowing someone famous.

Aina and RedKing have been talking a lot, and they're very smitten with each other. RedKing asks where she lives. She mentions a building I don't recognize. I look around the map, and it's not there. I dig into her status using one of the mods, and it says "Homeless". Gotta admit, this broke my fucking heart. Damn game, cutting onions right in front of me.

Wait, hold up. I'm in charge here, and everyone in the Haus has kind of gotten to know Aina a little bit, and I took all you loonies on. So, meet your new Hausmate, everyone. She's moving in as of now.

RedKing admits feelings for Aina. They're now going steady.

Vector hits the training dummy. Hits in the loosest sense possible.

Aina excitedly talks to me about books. I stand there being burly.

I'm more of a computer guy, myself, but hey, knock yourself out.

Aina also loves computers. I'm always a little weirded out when people like everything that I do.

RedKing prepares a celebratory feast! There will be no repli-food tonight!

Sanju attempts to clean up an active leak. The fifth stall is still spewing water everywhere. Good luck with that.

Ugh, fine, I'll go fix it.

Wrench in hand, I lock myself in there and thank my lucky stars that there's a drain in the bottom.

I'm not sure what RedKing is making. Probably something fancy he saw on the cookin' show.

It appears to be falafel.

Aina gets comfy with the tv and a nice theater seat.

Sanju and Sappho have a deep conversation.

Yoink is super hungry, but also super late for work!

Thankfully, he has a ride.

Kal has finished the statue. It's a dancin' gator!

Sanju and her fabulous sunglasses in the pool.

Tiruin is home and reading a book for work.

Kal goes out and greets the paparazzi girl. She's been there the whole time.

She then promptly ignores Kal in hopes of spotting Sappho.

Vector is the master of the grind. Already a green belt! Watch your back, RedKing.

Japa goes out and weeds the garden. Again. I guess.

Kal checks for nifty things at the consignment shop. Sometimes they have tiberium. Sometimes they have cool inventions, like Time Machines and stuff (really!) Today they have paintings and cheap rocks. Nothing worth buying.

RedKing puts his falafel in the fridge.

The paparazzi girl has infiltrated the Haus! Quick, stop her!

Sappho made a thing! It's a globe rotator thingy!

Wolfeyez threw the interloper back outside. With her throwing arm, this may have been literal.

Vector takes care of the garden some more. It's grown a lot, in many ways.

Sappho is still making stuff.

RedKing and Japa chitchat, while Vector drags dead plants through the Haus, ignoring her cellphone.

Trash trashed. Mission accomplished.

What's that? Dating profile? Online? A date? Seriously?

Sappho made a thing! It's a drinking llama!

RedKing siezes the opportunity for a free cooking upgrade.

Kal finishes what I can only imagine is a family portrait. It's somehow worth over $150.

The Throw Queen reigns supreme!

Aw, yiss! One of the Tiberium grew! Money for everyone!

Try as he might, RedKing cannot beat Wolfeyez. Just like the Panthers and the Seahawks.

This gentleman is named Dirk Broughton. Vector learns right away that he is an Unflirty Bookworm. Being Unflirty, he must have really liked something in Vector's profile. He's probably a fan of Достое́вский.

Having learned from RedKing's experience in this, Vector is very up front with one certain question.

Dirk is single. We can move forward from here, wherever that goes.

Dirk, despite the way he is dressed, is a Butler.

Finally, someone Vector can talk to about books and not have to get into a fistfight with.

Vector...is learning something from this conversation. What is this madness!?

Aina and Tiruin enjoy cobbler (courtesy of RedKing,) the outdoors, and the smell of freshly replicated bread.

Japa decides that he's had enough day for today.

Kal begins a new statue. Much stone.

Wolfeyez decides to take in some of RedKing's falafel.

Sanju cranks up the stereo. The floor is thick, Japa will be fine.

She has some pretty sweet moves, especially in those shoes.

Vector and Dirk go somewhere and VECTOR STOLE MY CAR TOO? DAMN IT!

Vector and Dirk go see a movie! While there, Vector is starstruck by Fjord Warbler, Yoink's boss.

Aina was in the pool, but it's getting too dark to swim.

RedKing is getting tired of watching the cooking shows. And being awake.

Tiruin is playing in the arcade. This video game machine is...from the future! Or so it claims. It doesn't even look to be 4k. Not impressed.

Sappho has run out of scrap to invent with. I was sure I bought enough when I loaded up those tables, but apparently not.

RedKing is done for the day.

Ah, bonding time for Wolfeyez and her new packmate.

Tiruin finds out that there is a library just down the street from the Haus. Oddly, this room is where the skill books were kept. You'd think there would be kids' books in here.

I've upgraded this stall to be Unbreakable. Sorry, Japa, but I had to replace Self-Cleaning.

Sappho finds some choice pieces of scrap in this seemingly abandoned scrapyard that's within walking distance from the Haus. Maybe that's why the land for the Haus was so cheap. There was also some discarded furnitire laying around, which Sappho grabbed. Maybe she can fix it up when she gets home? Japa should be able to help, too.

Loverly pipes, guv.

She learned this from watching Russell Wilson.

Sanju has worn herself out dancing, and it's bedtime now.

Wait, hold up, that contraption can't be good. What is that thing?

I've seen this before...

Sappho looks excited to be looking at a junk pile...

KABOOM!

Tiruin can learn no more from "Logic II: To Xor or Not to Xor?" The next book must be bought from the bookstore, as the library doesn't have it.

Vector is home from her date. It went well, although no romantic moves were made by either party. Dirk was a slightly boring gentleman, and Vector enjoyed the foreign film. We did learn that he has maxed cooking and handiness skills, also.

No, I'm not available for a date. Yes. No. My wife would kill me. Then you, I'm sure.

Kal's sculpture is coming along nicely. It's a Venus, methinks. The no arms gives it away.

Sappho made a thing! It's planes that spin around!

mumblemubmlesweronmemusclesmumblemumble

I have some calzone. There's a lot of salad on the table across from me. I see Vector's been making abstract art/cooking again.

Aina heads to bed. Her own bed. In her own room.

Tiruin, too. Tir dreams of books.

Sappho takes a break from blowing up the whole damn neighborhood and plays some pinball. Wolfeyez has not yet set the high score here.

Yoink sits down with a romance novel before bed. Surefire cure for insomnia, right? Vector is reading the Gardening III book.

Sappho can also not beat Wolfeyez' high score. Or RedKing's. She actually scored zero points. Ouch.

Vector heads to bed. She's now at level 9 gardening, just FYI.

Sappho soon follows. That means lights out, y'all!

[Yoink]

Oh man, this was an amusing turn. Love some of those screenshots.
I'm torn between whether I should start levelling up my gardening skill, chemistry skill, or inventing skill 'cause blowing stuff up is fun. Then again, I probably shouldn't be trusted with explosives... Is alchemy a separate skill? Anyway, actions...

>Whip up another lovely, harmless red potion as a "welcome gift" for our new hausmate. Gotta test 'em somehow, right?

>Go to the park or something. Or the local bar. Or the neighbour's house. I don't know, either make friends with a neighbourhood cat/human or go drink some 'juice' and play pool. Preferably somewhere I haven't been before.

[Cptn Kaladin Anrizlokum]

You used the picture of me shaking the paparazzi girl's hand twice...

Go and make friends with some people at the library!
And then practice cooking.

[Sheb]

So, when does RedKing get to share a room with his ladyfriend? Will we have a wedding? Isn't RedKing married IRL? Couldn't we import his wife in like we did for Sanju for some fun drama?

[Sappho]

Clearly, I am invincible.

-Continue inventing all the things.
-Make something at the alchemy table.

[MaximumZero]

So, when does RedKing get to share a room with his ladyfriend? Will we have a wedding? Isn't RedKing married IRL? Couldn't we import his wife in like we did for Sanju for some fun drama?

RedKing is divorced, IIRC.
