Finally, a Sim tradition that Syx approves of!
The rest of the family is less enthused.
Lina: Oh, I can't possibly find the CleanBots anywhere in this enormous store that I certainly have never worked at!
Clara: Lina! Just visiting, or are you shopping?
Lina: Hi, Gramma. I really do want a CleanBot! Mom and Dad gave me some Winter's Day money, and I thought it could help me and Wren keep our place tidy.
Clara gained her gold sales badge. 🥳 Hi, Bobbi! I forgot you were super pregnant, sorry, baby. I always feel a little bad leaving sims to waddle around super pregnant between rounds. That can't be comfortable.
The Mysterious Mustachioed Reviewer came back! And this time he brought a shiny Best of the Best award for R0b0ts (yes that is the real name). Thanks, dude! I don't think the flaming hoodie is making you blend in particularly well, though?
If only Clara had earned a gold register badge instead.
Johnny: I have a meeting in fifteen minutes, ya know.
Clara: Calm your tits, Johnny, town hall is literally across the street. You don't even have a watch on that arm.
Bernadette: Do you have to do that in here?
Syx: Fitness waits for no sim, Bernadette! Gotta stay on top of my game. One doesn't theoretically become a criminal mastermind without a little cardio.
Bernadette: ...Can you do it not next to my new vase?
Syx: Now THIS is a holiday! Johnny, why didn't you ever tell me about these 'sparkler' things?
Johnny: I have this thing where I like when our house isn't on fire, babe.
Mikhael: ...and also published this piece on how depictions of weaponry in sensationalized sci-fi films post-Contact era influenced laws in SimNation--
Mara-Jade: Hm, uh-huh.
Mikhael: And then of course we put out this op-ed--
Mara-Jade: Wow, you work a lot, don't you? Hey, excuse me, I've gotta get some... gelatin.
Cleaning up after parties is one time that Clara misses having Theodore around. It must be great to be a robot with boundless energy and no need to sleep.
That's the end of the round here. Happy New Year?
These two have a quiet day off together at the end of the round, and it's finally Syx's turn to be cheated during chess. (:
It's my everyone's favorite morally gray (also now literally gray hairwise), sickeningly in love couple! Last round, Johnny and Syx went on vacation and decided to open their relationship, though of course they're still each other's favorite paramour. Syx probably robbed a few museums, idk, I don't follow him to work.
Syx: Ah, damn.
Johnny: Don't worry, dear, there's leftover omelette in the fridge.
Syx: Good, good. I don't think even Carolina Reaper hot sauce could save this stuff.
Grim has finally come for very good kitty Maisie. :( Johnny is devastated, of course.
George drops by right afterward to help distract Johnny from his grief over losing his beloved cat.
