Back in November, I first played here for Mickey Dosser; you can refresh your memory here, if you like.
Here is Matthew Hart, just returned from his end-of-term exam and now about to start working on what needs doing in order to complete his Freshman year. Guy Wrightley can be seen in the back, while Mickey Dosser is "visiting campus". name>
Mickey returns shortly afterwards with a fresh box of pizza and can be found munching away in the kitchen.
Meanwhile, Guy is applying himself to gaining some charisma.
Upstairs, an easel has been set up to allow the students to gain creativity, which is something they all need this semester. Matthew is first to use it.
Next on his list is gaining a mechanical skill point. Tick! Autumn is just great for skilling, isn't it!
Meanwhile, Mickey has taken some time out of skilling to make a phone call to Gunnar Roque. He and Gunnar become friends, and the Fraternity reaches level 3.
Matthew and Guy have hardly spent time together and are not friends yet in spite of being frat brothers and sharing a house. They get talking over slices of pizza and even engage in a pillow fight afterwards, before it's back to skilling for Guy, and upstairs to the computer for Matthew.
He sends off his term paper several hours later - well done, Matthew! This was only the first day of the semester; he will now have time for a date with his girlfriend, Sarah Love.
The next morning, Guy is the first to wake up.
Matthew is not far behind and makes his bed without me telling him to.
Then he invites not only Sarah over, but also two of her sorority sisters, DJ Verse and Monica Bratford. Jessie Pilferson is NOT asked along - for good reason. Remember what happened last time she was here and witnessed Matthew and Sarah sharing a tender moment?
Matthew has a wish to eat lunch meat sandwiches - by now he really must be sick and tired of pizza. While he prepares a platter of sarnies for everyone, Sarah heads upstairs and works on an assignment.
After the meal, he cleans up - it is as if he wanted to show Sarah what good husband material he is :-)
Mickey chats up Monica - he does not find her attractive, but he really wants to work on his lifetime want of having 20 lovers, and of course Monica is a possible candidate. She seems more interested in cramming a bit of studying in while she's here, though.
Upstairs, Guy has just finished his Term Paper, and only now does he get rid of the smelly pizza box on the desk.
DJ, Sarah and the Cow Mascot have fun with the bubble blower before the visiting girls go back to their house next door.
Just before she leaves, Sarah surprises Matthew when she grabs him between the fruit punch machine and the bubble blower for a good old make-out.
The next morning, the boys are back to their usual pizza diet. Mickey (as usual) is last to complete his term paper, but at least this time he's not just a few hours away from his exam.
Guy writes something about Tank Grunt in his diary. Interesting!
Francis J. Worthington has been invited over and asked to pledge. He is then asked to clean and tidy up, and this takes him all day - there are books strewn across the floor of the study room, the rubbish bin is flowing over, and dirty dishes cover nearly every surface.
Guy returns from class and meets River Smith, an NPC student who hopefully will become a full resident of Strangetown one day, having "relatives" living here already.
It seemed a good idea at the time to make Mac & Cheese instead of having another pizza, but Guy's cooking skills are not what they should be, and he ends up setting the stove on fire - thankfully, a fire alarm was installed.
Francis is now a member of the fraternity, and the Greek House is now on level 4.
It's Exam Day! Matthew looks perfectly relaxed when, still in his PJs, he takes a big bite off his slice of pizza. He knows he has nothing to worry about.
And indeed, all three "brothers" finish the semester with A+, spots on the Dean's List and the full amount of grant money coming in, boosting their account to close to 7,000 Simoleons. Surely that should mean at least better beds?
Matthew is now a Sophomore. We will be back here one more time this round, when it is Guy Wrightley's turn on the alphabetical list.
This was a great round for Matthew and the boys. I wonder if Jessie has got over her jealousy of he and Sarah now?
ReplyDeleteNow that Francis J is a member will he move in?
You'd think they'd get tired of pizza but I guess they never will! Hopefully there will be no more fires in the kitchen. :D
Next time I play the sorority, I will check Jessie's memories - it is still a mystery to me why she should be jealous in the first place.
DeleteFrancis will remain at his own property at least for the first time I'll play him, then I will decide what to do - after all, the house is said to be his own, and he does not seem the type to give up on his possessions easily :-)
