Hun Cho: Week 1

We're staying in Belladonna Cove for another Cho household. The address is Bella's Belles Townhouses, and we're going to spend a week in the green one. 

Hun Cho lives here, very obviously a former mail carrier. He became playable when he struck up a romantic relationship with Chastity Gere (or, rather, she with him). 

His skill profile is good, and he has some money, too. A typical Family Sim, he dreams of becoming Captain Hero one day, and I am certain he will achieve that goal. For now, though, he is unemployed. 

On the ground floor, the narrow townhouse has a tiny living room, toilet and open plan kitchen-dining area from where a spiral staircase leads upstairs.

Facing the street with a bay window is the bedroom - too small to place a double bed, and the wall to the box room can't be knocked through because it is a rented property only. In comparison, the bathroom is spacious. 

Green is the dominant colour, but all furniture is rather cheap. Never mind, Hun has enough money to make himself reasonably comfortable here, but I doubt he'll stay for much more than one round.

While he is waiting for Mr Humble to turn up with the computer, he gets rid of his mailman cap and (very quickly!) grows a full beard :-D 

He likes his new reflection in the mirror, and I think he looks much better than before, too.

The computer is here, and Hun immediately looks for a job. There aren't any openings in Law Enforcement, though, and so he can do as he pleases for the rest of the day.

Of course, the mail carrier outfit being his "everyday" clothes, he needs new things. A walk to Desprit Deals is in order, and on top of getting himself a nice wardrobe where blue is the dominating colour, he also meets and greets a few neighbours. 

Back home, he changes into one of his new outfits and prepares himself spaghetti with meatballs. Apart from a new and much better stove and fridge, the kitchen is unchanged.

He plays chess in his tiny living room until he is tired enough to go to bed. 

When Hun gets up on Tuesday morning, he hopes that today will be the day he finds a job in his coveted career. 

And indeed it is! Starting out as a Desk Sergeant, his superiors are so impressed with the eager young man that they promote him to Vice Squad on his very first day.

While Hun works on his mechanical skill, I observe the other tenants at the row of town houses. Vyn Scott and Dongsool Love have been sharing Vyn's house since the end of last round, but now I witness them falling in love with each other - not something I planned, but we'll see how things are when it is Dongsool's turn on my list. 

He has the Wednesday off, and so Hun can talk to Dongsool when he spots him coming out mid-morning. On his own initiative, he congratulates Dongsool on being in love with Vyn :-D 

The rest of the day goes by uneventfully; Hun gains a body skill, works on his friendships by making some phone calls, has a meal and cleans what is there to be cleaned.

Meet Detective Cho! Hun returns from work on Thursday with a promotion, and the fingerprint scanner is now his.

It comes in useful, because he now needs two more cleaning points for his next promotion.

On Friday, in spite of having lost a body point because of a chance card, he is promoted to Lieutenant. 

Two more cleaning points are needed, and Hun sets to work immediately. 

It looks unhealthy, doesn't it, when he scans right through his neighbour Vyn Scott! But she appears to be totally unaware of the blue rays shining through her. 

It is Saturday morning, and Hun is looking at the whole weekend off - no work for him other than what needs doing in the house, and acquiring another cleaning point.

Once he has had a shower and is dressed, Hun comes downstairs to make himself breakfast. He can't believe it when he spots the first snow flakes silently falling - it's still atumn; winter seems to have arrived early. 

The thin white layer covering the ground outside does not stop his neighbours, the Scott-Loves, from sitting on the pavement for a chat! 

It has snowed some more over night, and Sunday is the first proper winter day, just right to stay in and invite over a couple of friends. Hun has been best friends with Samantha Cordial and Ana Patel for a while, and he happily peruses the Sunday paper while the two ladies play chess. 

"Several best friends in my life are women, such as you and Ana, but although I've had something going with Chastity Gere, I know she'll never settle for one man unless she finds her 3-bolter... and that's not me," he confides in Samantha. 

Maybe she advises him to enlist the Matchmaker's help, because that is what I am going to do next time it'll be Hun's turn to be played (which will be probably somewhere around two years in real life!). 

This was a nice, neat, quiet and straightforward week with Hun. The rental lot is slightly bugged; for instance, there was no block party on Saturday, and at the start of the week, Dongsool Love (who used to be the Landlord here before Vyn Scott asked him to move in with her) was stuck on his front porch, seemingly unable to go either inside or somewhere else outdoors. Still, there weren't too many problems, and I will move out the Scott-Love household anyway when I play them - they want more children, and the house is barely big enough for them now.
