Monica Bratford has perfected her body skill, yet they do little to ease her interactions with the sharp-tongued gym girls. Fortunately, she has loyal companions: her lovely cat, Bonkers, and Erin Beaker, a mystical maiden with the ability to perceive truths through her heart. Watching how much fun Erin is having with her friend in a cafe, Circe feels a little jealous — she wishes she could just as easily and casually ingratiate herself with the sims around!
As night descends, Monica undergoes a remarkable transformation. Casino guests are captivated by the enigmatic allure of a masked lady whose cunning rivals that of the Unsavoury Charlatan! Perhaps Erin's magical advice was not spared here... By morning, Monica returns home and once again becomes a modest girl who adores her cat and has nothing to do with the dangerous world of crime.
Освоенный в совершенстве навык культуры тела никак не помогает Монике Бретфорд поладить с острыми на язык девушками из спортзала. Хорошо, что у неё есть настоящие друзья — любимый кот Шизик и мистическая дева Эрин Колби, способные видеть сердцем то, чего не увидишь глазами. Наблюдая за тем, как весело Эрин проводит время с подругой в кафе, Цирцея чувствует легкую зависть — хотелось бы ей так же легко и непринужденно втираться в доверие к персонажам!
А с наступлением ночи Моника преображается до неузнаваемости. Все без исключения посетители казино сражены наповал хищным обаянием таинственной дамы в маске, не уступающей в своем коварстве самому Гнусному Шарлатану! Возможно, здесь не обошлось без магических советов Эрин… К утру Моника возвращается домой и снова становится скромной девушкой, обожающей своего кота и не имеющей ничего общего с опасным миром криминала.
Like many others in StrangeSpot, Matthew doesn't like being a werewolf. Monica doesn't get why he's crying over it to her, when she loves her lycanthropy. He's all smiles when he gets his first baby bump from the alien abduction, though... and even more all smiles when he hears a rumour that Lily Vandermorgan cured her lycanthropy at Lacy's farm. He'll have to pay a visit...
Meanwhile, Maybelline is concerned about the werewolf stuff that awaits her in the teenage life stage. Will she love it like her mother does, or resent it as her father does?
Jared Starchild & Monica Bratford (I'm undecided on the household name yet...)
Jared and Monica have moved in together in an apartment in Belladonna. Having graduated earlier, Monica has decided to turn her activism into real action and join the SimNation Workers' Party, the country's leading left-wing political organisation (yes, I put real life political concepts in my game to some extent because it's really hard for me to imagine any life simulation without them). She has been doing exceptionally well and already climbed up to state assembly representative. Jared has not yet decided what he wants to do with his art degree, but seeing as his secondary aspiration is Pleasure, he may just let Monica be the sole breadwinner for a little longer.
Recaps:
Monica's new look.
Ramir Patel may be the key figure of another political party, but a little networking never killed nobody, right?
Monica decided to be interesting all of a sudden and rolled a new Lifetime want to become an Icon the same day she became enemies with Robert Kim. So hell yeah, we are killing him, taking his job and turning him into a zombie, I’m in.
He must have sensed danger, because he started coming around everyday to fight her and demote her from her new Natural Scientist path (how else is she supposed to get a Cowplant? Fuck off and let her conspire against you in peace, man).
Monica continues to live a double life. During the day she is writing stories, playing with her cat Bonkers and sewing, but at night the most interesting things begin. Who would suspect this sweet girl of robbing banks?
Моника продолжает вести двойную жизнь. Днем она занята сочинением историй, игрой с подросшим котом Шизиком и шитьем на машинке, а ночью начинается всё самое интересное. Разве кто-то может заподозрить эту милую девушку в том, что она грабит банки?
And yet, Monica and Erin managed to become friends! It was Monica who came to Erin's side with words of comfort and a warm hug when she was once again the victim of Chloe's attacks.
И всё-таки Моника и Эрин смогли стать подругами! Именно Моника пришла к Эрин со словами утешения и теплыми объятиями в тот момент, когда та в очередной раз стала жертвой нападок Хлои.
