TR II: Year 3

They fought.

And they made up.

Next up, Zazazu and Jfade tied the knot, by the SP. Jfade moved into Zazazu's tent. The combined family funds was $503 and no debt! This doesn't seem to be a shotgun marriage either. I'm starting to worry about babies in the game. They used to have babies much easier. Maybe it's my mods settings somewhere?

There are three natural cooks among the residents: Eevilcat, Jolrei, and Reggikko.  Since Jolrei and Reggikko are occupied with collecting all day, Eevilcat will be the one to start the salad business, even though she's already a busker. At least this way she can start to make some money to buy a guitar in order to busk someday. But first, she needs a $500 loan. Who would lend her $500? Among all the people she knows, Solowren seems to be the only possibility. So she sets out to befriend her as the first step. (I think she needs to be friends with her, or if she can convince her about the venture in terms of talk bubbles.) Turns out it's not an easy task.

Fairlight won this time in a rematch. I changed the court fee to $10, from $100. Also, if I play a thug, or catch a fight involving a thug/criminal, the thug can get $50 from the victim if they win the fight, and if the victim has money to pay up. In this case, Alice has no money, so Fairlight didn't get any money out of her.

The game said I got robbed, but there was only music and no sign of the burglar. Anyways, I borrow a rule from BACC that 3 burglaries open up a position in the Police Station. If I can't effectively control the jobs, I already made a title among the Twallan Unemployed called Sheriff so I can just use that.

We waited for 2 long days, and Solowren finally came home.

Eevilcat made a pitch for big plates of salads made of fresh vegetables on sale. 

"May I suggest chicken wings?" says Solowren. "That's a good idea!" In any event, Solowren lent Eevilcat $500. The term is that Eevilcat will pay back $1000 whenever she can.

Eevilcat got to work on the chopping board first thing next morning. The salads are on sale at Motoki's veggie stand, for $20/plate.
