As a side effect of my Paras hunting for the paintings, the museum has filled up nicely!

Curator: "You combed every inch of soil for hundreds of times and yet there are still artifacts missing that are mentioned in the town chronicle..."

Tina: "Speaking of missing stuff, what's the deal with the "Woman combing hair" painting? Why can't the community center open without it?"

Curator: "You'll see when we have retrieved it. I must not say more now."

Tina now works (again) as museum researcher, her dream job.

Some details from the upstairs bathroom and Tina's bedroom.

Household Bio:

A trio in witness protection: The principal witness (a former mobster), the detective who put it all together and the officer who carried out the actual arrest. But who is who? Or does it even matter, when they have to leave not only their hometown, but their country behind? Each other is all they have left now.

If you remember my characters from The Sims, you know who is who. If not, feel free to send me your guesses in the comments over the course of this chronicle!

Gavin remembered that Tina liked to feel the wind on her skin, so he took her up the cliffs by the lighthouse.

And there somehow everything fell into place. There were the sky and the ocean and that endless vastness... Wind moved water, creating waves and foam. Water condensed upwards, only to come down again as rain, a self-contained system in which the islands, even those that called themselves continents, were insignifcant.

Generations of seafaring Chens whispered "This is where you belong" into Tina's mind.

Gavin: "Do you ever think about us having kids?"

Tina: "I'm the last of my branch of the family. I should have at least one."

Gavin: "Uh... I'll ask again later."

Tina: "Armi and Rose are on their way."

Gavin: "On horseback?"

Tina: "Nah, by bus. Thank you for being a supportive boyfriend and filling the third chair at the table!"

Gavin: "Don't worry, it's not just helping out. While I'm not as deep into the game as the rest of you, I'm having fun playing!"

Gavin: "Do you have to wear your new hat indoors? I can't see your face with it on!"

Tina: "That's the general idea."

Gavin: "But I'm just creating a character. What's there to hide from me?"

Tina: "What I think of your build, of course."

Gavin: "I take this to mean that it's just that great, thank you very much."

I haven't figured out how to assign them chairs. Tina is supposed to use the red dice, Gavin the green ones and the white are for whoever joins the group.

The money, the mushrooms, the meals, the furniture and even the handpainted pictures were checked off the list, but the frantic search for a certain lost work of art continued.

Why, Tina and Gavin wondered, couldn't Melino open the community center without a painting of a woman combing her hair? Gavin could probably produce a masterpiece of Tina doing that. Or of Rose. Or of both, combing each other's hair. So many options!

But so few leads where to look for the missing painting...
