Week 1 Day 2 - Dawson

Greg woke up early in the morning, and decided that he’d tend his garden before making breakfast, to see what kinds of fresh herbs and ingredients he could use that day. There had been a thunderstorm during the night that had continued into the early morning, and a lightning strike had hit his picnic table in his backyard, and he unfortunately had to dip into his savings to replace the lost table.

Greg made a grand breakfast and unfortunately it took up a lot of his morning time, because even though he had asked Craig to help, Craig opted not to. Greg went to work hungry, and Craig got to eat the grand breakfast by himself.

Craig started off his day by trolling the forums he frequented. He got a notification that the GeekCon was in town, and instead of wasting away his day at the house, he decided that maybe getting out and getting some extra cash in a video gaming contest was exactly what he needed. He entered the Ultimate Gaming Test at the convention in the hopes that he’d get a good score. Unfortunately, he didn’t do well in the Ultimate Gaming Test, and he didn’t even pass with the minimum score.

Greg came home hungry, grungy, and a little tense, but he also came home with a promotion! At work he’d been promoted to being a wildlife technician, and he was more than happy that he had a day off the next day.

Week 1, Day 1 - Dawson

While Greg was at work, Craig took the opportunity of being alone in an empty house to blast some music and practice his dance moves. Even if Greg was insistent that he had to move out soon, that day wasn’t today, and he was going to have fun while he could.

Greg met Paula Garcia, Courtney Robins, and Keala Hoapili while at work. He came home from work extremely exhausted, so he was pretty glad that Craig had used at least some of his down time during the day to make a garden salad. The brothers ate dinner together, and then Greg went promptly to bed.

While he was asleep, a friend of Greg’s, Susan Monroe, stopped by to see Greg. Because Greg was asleep, Craig let her in and chatted with her instead. They didn’t have a very long chat, and Susan went home without ever chatting with Greg. Craig went to bed not long after Susan left.

Week 1, Day 9 - Bates

Emily woke up and grabbed a small snack before taking Kooper out for a jog. The stormy weather that had appeared late the previous night had cleared up, so it seemed like a good opportunity to get some of Kooper’s energy out. While they were out, it started raining lightly, so they cut the jog short and went home before a storm could form.

Since the rain didn’t look like it was going to stop raining anytime soon, Devon decided to bake some bread to pass the time. After she had some of the freshly baked bread, she did some laundry, played with Kooper, and kept writing her newest book, a short story book. The inspiration must’ve been flowing, because she quickly finished it, naming it “Widdershins Ballet and Other Stories”. She sent it out to be published, ate some dinner, and then went to bed.

Week 1, Day 8 - Bates

(Yeah, I know, Day 8. The way I like to play my games, I like to start on Monday at 12am and go through to the next Monday at 12 am. Unfortunately, the game started on a Saturday, so there’s going to be 9 days in this Week 1, and then we’ll get back to our normal schedule. Sorry for the bonus day confusion, but it’s the only way to catch things up!)

Devon woke up to Kooper wanting some serious attention, so she decided to devote her Saturday to playing with Kooper. After spending the whole morning just playing with Kooper at her house, she decided to treat him to a day at a dog friendly park.

After their excursion to the dog park, Devon took a nice long bath with soaks, and settled in for the evening to write another book. Her writing was interrupted, however, when Emily came over with a surprise for Devon! Emily had brought Devon a gift: orchid seeds for her garden. Devon planted them, and Emily stayed over to chat for a little while before going home. Once Emily was on her way home, Devon went to bed.

Week 1, Day 7 - Bates

Devon got up nice and early for work, and was able to have a nice breakfast that morning without having to rush. While at work, Devon found a juicy statement from a local politician that, when taken just a little out of context, could make a great column. She thought about just writing the column and hoping her readers agreed with her, but she considered that it would mean putting her own personal integrity on the line. She wasn’t about to stretch the truth just because it was a slow news day, so she decided she’d just wait until something more newsworthy came along. A few hours after she passed on writing the first column, an even better story hit her and she wrote a column that she was proud of.

Devon decided after work that she was going to celebrate Night On The Town with her sister, Emily. They went out to eat at Umbrage Manor, a very nice local restaurant. They had the best food they could get, since it was free anyway, and went their separate ways to sleep off their food comas.

Week 1, Day 6 - Bates

Devon woke up earlier, as she’d planned. However, she realised upon going out into her kitchen that she’d forgotten to clean up after herself and Emily from the night before! She immediately got to work cleaning up the house, and it didn’t take too long for her to put everything back in its proper place again.

Because it was her day off, she decided to take a long walk with Kooper after she had some breakfast. After the walk, Devon decided that she wanted to keep writing her motivational book! After all, she felt great from the exercise, and she could think of no better way to keep the momentum going!

She finished her book quickly, naming it You Rock! A Celebration of You!, and sent it out to a publisher as soon as she could. She rewarded her success with a bubble bath, and spent the rest of the afternoon with her sister, Emily.

Week 1, Day 5 - Bates

Devon stayed up too late the night before, and she almost overslept for her first day as a regular contributor. Luckily, she got up at exactly the right moment to have a small snack and go in to work on time.

At work, Devon started looking over her latest stories in earnest. She thought, after some scrutiny, that they all sounded similar, if not the same, and she figured she should spice up her repertoire a bit. Her fans weren’t exactly thrilled about her decision, but that didn’t really matter so much to her, as long as she was having fun writing.  While at work, she met Salim Benali, Zachary Hart, and Lia Hauata.

After work, Emily came over to hang out with Devon. Devon gave Emily a key to her house, just in case Emily needed something. After helping Devon with a little gardening, Emily left. Devon really enjoyed the time she spent with her sister, and had so much fun gardening she thought she’d have fun doing it on her own sometime. Devon went to sleep that night in the hopes that going to bed a little earlier could fix her sleep schedule.

Week 1, Day 4 - Bates

Devon woke up in the early hours of the morning from a nightmare. She couldn’t get back to sleep, so she spent some time with Kooper to make herself feel better. She also made some oatmeal cookies before leaving for work, and the combination of baking and spending time with her dog cheered her up.

She had some time before work, so Devon decided to start working on another book! This time, she wanted to do something a little more inspiring, so she settled on writing a motivational book.

Devon met Leslie Holland during her shift at work. At the end of the day, she was promoted to being a regular contributor, but her excitement for her promotion was overpowered by her general exhaustion. She took Kooper for a short walk, then headed to bed, tired out from the day’s events.

Week 1, Day 3 - Bates

Devon woke up in the middle of the night, hit with a surge of creative inspiration! It only took her a few hours to finish writing her book, Poems Lovelier Than Trees. She sent it off to the publisher before going in to work.

While at work as an advice columnist, Devon got a crazy letter sent in for her to answer. Devon thought that the letter might’ve been a joke, but she knew there was no way she could know for sure. She chose to publish the letter anyway, but because of that, she lost some popularity as people doubted the authenticity of other letters she had published.

While at work, Devon met some more of her coworkers: Lorenzo Hernandez, Gavin Richards, Maaike Haas, and Octavia Moon. She went home feeling embarrassed from the day’s events, and decided to sleep it off after having some dinner.

[lavalaissimsrotations]

Week 1, Day 2 - Bates

Devon met Mortimer Goth while she was at work, then had a chat with her sister, Emily. Emily was unsure about looking for a new job, but after some encouragement from Devon, she decided to go for it!

After work, Devon decided to celebrate New Skill Day by trying out baking for the first time, and she ended up making some pretty decent breadsticks.

After eating, Devon took Kooper for a walk. Still energized from being outside in such nice weather, she decided that even though she wasn’t exactly “athletically gifted”, she still liked fitness.

Week 1, Day 1 - Bates

Devon decided to sit down and finally start working on her very first book! She thought she’d start simple with a poetry book.
