The next day was a rushed day. I had things to do at City Hall. Y'know...when you're taking over the town, it all starts with the Art of the Deal which in my case was buying up any shares in any business that was in town and outmanoeuvering every single sim that was able to be outmanoeuvred. When I got hungry, I headed over to Hogan's Diner. Well, at least the food was tolerable and the menu was half-decent. Deidre was at work, but she also had some extra-curricular reading that she was assigned by her boss. Namely stuff to do with cloning or something. It was starting to get dark when she got up and headed for home.
We got up early the next morning for a little together time. With her starting work at the science center yesterday, it was a rather quiet home, especially when she wasn't around.
When you're the talk of the town, which we were since the newspapers loved reporting about our hostile takeovers of several companies in town, you gather enemies. And the best way to combat those enemies is to have some line of self-defence. For me it meant learning alchemy (which surprisingly worked) and for Deidre it meant learning about science at the science station - which it also helped her work considering she was only a test-subject. And all of this before work hours.
My day on the other hand, once Deidre went off to work was pretty uneventful. I finished up my study of alchemy, learning how to create a few elixirs, then went off to play farmhouse roulette with the beekeeping box. Luckily, I didn't get stung.
Then I headed to the park and well, Deidre met up with me there. I decided to get in some fishing, while Deidre decided that she was going to get in some social networking. I did manage to get skilled to the point of being able to catch a rainbow trout. So at least that was something.
Couldn't help but laugh at Michael Steel and Fiona McIrish after the latter found herself on her heinie and the former planted himself facefirst into the roller-rink floor.
Evidently Buster, River, Parker and Molly all decided that they were going to have an hot-dog eat-off. River was definitely giving Parker the "I got this all wrapped up" look. Well...no-one died. Pity.
That night, Deidre headed over to one of the coffee-shops that dotted Sunset Valley with the intention of buying out the business. After all, why not? Our whole plan was centered around buying up the entire town and making it strictly for the benefit of us, (meaning Deidre and myself). This, after all, wasn't meant to be charity. Anything that puts the simoleons in the bank for us, well, that's a good thing.
Anyways, Jared was there. The Watcher doesn't like Jared, Jared got fried. And that freaked out poor Jared so much that he promptly passed out. Deidre got a malevolent kick out of seeing that. Since she was evil, seeing anyone have something unfortunate happen to them, it amused her greatly.
Shocking, really.
