Tue, Fall 18 (Apr 21)
We enjoy a normal morning, cooking breakfast together. Alejandro discovers he loves Cooking. I love that we share interests but aren't exactly alike. Yesterday, he self-discovered he's a Genius and embraced that. By the way, his nickname is Alej (AH-leh).
I return to the Secret Lab to finish collecting evidence. Taking a photo of a Bizzare Fruit takes me up to 11 of the 15 pieces of evidence I need!
While Alej chats with my buddy Dylan out front, I look through Dylan's house and find two more pieces of evidence. I find their newborn son in the master bedroom so I age him up, too.
With 13 pieces of evidence, I decide to plant a bug on Jess when she arrives home. She’s in the military so she might be privy to classified intel, right?
Searching the StrangerVille Info Center's bookshelves only nets me one piece of evidence. Dang it, I only need one more! I might get helpful info from Ted Roswel, so I plant a bug on him as well.
Alej and I rush home so I can monitor Jess and Ted on my listening device to monitor Jess and Ted, but arrgggh! *gets possessed
Watcher: Tomorrow is another day?
* * * *
Wed, Fall 19
Jess Sigworth’s bug produces a top-secret audio recording and the last evidence needed to compile my secret dossier. We head to town in search of the Keycard that opens the Sealed Door. A conspiracy theorist suggests I ask around among Military or Scientist sims.
Alej and I visit 8 Bells to meet some Military sims but it's still morning so, of course, it's empty. We return to our rental to meditate. Alej won't be able to teleport in the Secret Lab, but teleporting could be useful later.
Tae: It’s 4 pm, Alej! Let's try visiting 8 Bells again.
Alej: Hey, look! That sim’s dressed in camo. Why don’t you ask him for the Keycard?
Tae: Juwon! (What's he doing here?) Long time. You're dressed like a soldier but you have no “Request a Kecard” option. Why not?
Juwon: Uh, that’s classified.
Tae: Listen, I gotta run now, but let’s catch up later, k? We’re staying at the vacation rental across the street.
Juwon (to himself): “We”?
Tae: In the bar, I meet Aiden Phipps. When I request the Keycard, he immediately hands it over because he believes I’ll be able to help with the situation. Watcher says I'll need a team at some point so I check Aiden’s traits: Goofball, Lovebug, Macabre. Nope, nope, nope! I definitely want to ask Erwin Pries, but still need a third person. But not Vivi nor Juwon because…awkward.
The Keycard unlocks the Sealed Door, but I now have to return to the bar to obtain an Infection Scanner for collecting spore clusters. Jess Sigworth’s right there and says she has a new one she might give me if I can convince her. She offers multiple options, but I don’t have the time to haggle. I just straight up bribe her and go back to the Secret Lab. Thanks, Jess!
It’s 10:45 pm when I take my 15 spore clusters to the Secret Lab's Analyzer to construct Infection Profile Data. If I'm not done before 1 am, I’ll be extremely upset. Success!
It’s nearly midnight and too late to meet any Scientists tonight, so I visit Erwin at his shop. We’re good friends but I work on us being besties.
Until….
Watcher's Notes:
*Aspiration progress: I'm not dwelling on the details because I know that, like me, you've all completed StrangerVille Mystery multiple times already.
*Alejandro: He's in the background, playing chess, building Charisma, and learning Wellness, but not the star of this particular rodeo. Surprisingly, he's already reached his Soul Journey's third milestone, same as Tae (Alej did buy the Savant trait first). At the vacation rental, Tae and Alej have separate bedrooms. This ain't no honeymoon.
*Vivi & Tae: Same as Day 6 of the getaway: Soulmates, Steamy, Tae's Attracted to her, she's
Very Attracted to Tae
*Juwon & Tae: Acquaintances (due to Just Friends), Tae's Very Attracted to Juwon, Juwon's attraction
to Tae is unknown (but probably still Very Attracted)
*I've re-enabled Romantic Invites & Requests and am playing on Full Autonomy. I'm going to let Tae's relationships with Juwon and Vivi play out on their own. I'm very curious to see whether Juwon or Vivi reach out to Tae autonomously.
