Household ‚A‘

Instant City
Household A,
Fall 1

2. - Hello and Welcome everyone to next installment respectively Household of my… -
‚*BRRRZL* Household ‚A‘ *STRRZZZ*?
- I‘ll explain in a minute… anyway, last time, we saw Professor Disc sending out his chosen Servo with all the other Servos to
expand his city… for which he then – because he doesn‘t like my building abilities… jerk… - ordered a giant Servo to steal
buildings all around the world and place them here… and no, I can‘t show the giant Servo, that would go over budget…
Anyway, this is our first new building on the Island, the empty 2x2 Skyscraper made by Drafter_1962 at MTS.com… I
changed a few things and made it into an apartment building for 4 apartments… also, I forgot to install the CC that came
with it, so the towers color is a bit off… -

3. - But now to answer your question… ehr, which Servo are you? –
‚*Brrzl*… you called me… Potter… Servo… *RRRR*‘
- Ah, I remember… well anyway… the Household is actually called ‚Disc‘… but Professor Disc‘s Household is also called
‚Disc‘, so to avoid any confusion, I decided to call Professor Disc‘s Household ‚Household Disc‘ from now on and this
Household… well, ‚Household A‘ to keep them apart… Understood?‘
‚*RRRRRRRRR* ERROR! ERRROR! DOES NOT COMPUTE… ERROR! *DRIIING*‘
- Aw come on, it‘s not that difficult…. -

4. - Anyway, as impressive as the Skyscraper looks, it‘s actually a rather hollow structure to avoid lag, with only three floors,
the third consisting out of only 4 rooms with apartment doors… -
‚*STRRRRZL* ERROR! ERROR! DOES NOT COMPUTE, DOES NOT…‘
*Switch off*
- Whew, thanks, he was starting to go on my nerves… thanks, you.. Ehr, which Servo are you…? -

5. ‚ My Master, Professor Disc, called me: …The Chosen One!‘
- Ah, right… bit melodramatic, but okay… -
‚ I apologize for my brethren's… flaws… they were my Masters first creations, so they might need some tuning to adhere to
my program parameters…‘
- No apologies needed… in fact, after keeping up with the Professor for so long, it‘s nice to talk to someone with
manners… -
‚Please do not insult the master, or I‘m forced to hurt you…‘
- *Ulp*- alright… well, better get renting a room now… -

6. ‚Please sign here, Mr…. Metal guy…‘
‚My designation is: ‚The Chosen One‘ … what is yours… ‚Meatbag‘?‘
‚Ehr, no… I‘m the Landlady here, and I…‘
‚Since when do you work here, ‚Landlady‘…?‘
‚Oh, like forever…you see, when you work for so long in the same house , you feel like you‘re becoming a part of it…‘
‚Did you notice something… odd in the last days?‘
‚Oh yes, there was a lot of rummaging… perhaps an earthquake… thankfully, nothing got broken, not even the cool store or the generator…‘
‚ .. And you don‘t wonder, that suddenly everything has changed… the surroundings, the landscape… everything?‘
‚Oh Silly… you‘re from the country, aren‘t you? It‘s a city, everything changes all the time… one day a building, the next…‘
‚ I…understand… *stupid meatbag*….

7. - … so after… getting out all this exposition to explain, how an entire building can be placed elsewhere and the Landlord
never notices it… *big grin* -

8. - … the Servos and Servas moved into their apartment… -
‚*Brrzl* Affirmative…. Master superior, Player building abilities inferior… *Strrzzl*‘
- One more word, and I‘m pulling your plugs! –
*Switches off*

9. - Except for the Chosen One, who started implementing his masters' plan… -
‚8 Servos placed, first household established…. Next stage….‘

10. ‚…. Moving out!‘

11. - … in the meantime: -
‚Help! I‘m stuck between these walls and the potato chips!‘
- *groan* oh come on – seriously?‘
‚As Potter Servo established… your building abilities are inferior!‘
- Somebody is stuck behind a bag of Potato Chips and it's my fault? –
‚You placed the Snack machine, you‘re the one to blame…‘
- Shut up and move out already… -

12. - And so, the Chosen one moved out and… wait, Fall?! –
Note: When the Servos moved into the building, it was the last day of summer, so I assumed that this would last for a whole
day and not just an hour and would therefore still count as the summer update… anyway, the problem persisted … on
some lot s, it was summer at move-in, on others, it was already fall… anyway, to keep this in order, these will be the fall
updates now… -
‚… more like ‚Fail‘ updates...‘
- Shut up! –
‚Stupid Meatbag…‘

13. - … In the meantime, the two additional Servos and Servas were activated… -
- ‚*SSTTTRRRRZLL* Arise….*BRRRR*‘
‚ I obey… but do I have to *Strzl* and *Brrzl* as well?‘
‚*BRRZL* Request inconclusive *RRRR*‘
‚Okaay… Ehr, Mr. Player-Meatbag, could you do something about these old Prototypes?‘
- First: Don‘t call me Meatbag… but okay… typing this *Strzzl* stuff becomes stupid anyway… -

14. - … And so I boolpropped the tombstone of L and D to… fix the Servo and Serva Prototypes… by giving them new Names…
or something… Anyway, since this is Household ‚A‘, I gave the Servos and Servas the following Names:
Servo A-1 Serva A-1
Servo A-2 Serva A-2
Servo A-3 Serva A-3
Servo A-4 Serva A-4
Each of them dates – if platinum aspiration is needed – its counterpart with the appropriate number. Easy, huh? –
‚And this fixes our speech impediment howww…ey, that actually worked! Thanks, Meatbag!‘

15. -- I told you, don‘t call me… oh whatever… anyway, since we‘ve already established new names, I also let them undertook
another change… originally I wanted them to have different aspirations just for fun… -

16. - … but then I changed my mind, since it would complicate the dating thing as well, and just changed their aspiration perks…
originally, I had all the motive perks switched on… but most of them are useless for Servos, like the hunger, hygiene and
toilet perk… so instead I got them all the fortune perks which are quite powerful for Servos, especially Nr.3 (financial
advice, tied to Logic skill, 75-200 Simoleons per hour, aand – really important – can also be used at Computers on
Community businesses) and 4 (Investing…you‘ll see, oh you‘ll see…. Muahahahaha….)… -

17. - … finally, after originally intending to let them stay in their room for the duration of the entire season (great thing with
Servos, you switch them off and Speed 3 on and then finish the entire household of 8 Playables in like 10 minutes)…-
‚ You really like Rulebubbling, do you, Meatbag?‘
- I. am. not. a. meatbag… well, technically I am, but I don‘t like to get called that way…. –
‚ But calling us Servos, which means ‚slave‘ in Latin, is okay, or what? Should we paint ourselves black to top it off?‘
- … well, okay, but you see, it‘s just easier… and kinda sounds right instead of…. of…. –
‚And that‘s why we are calling you Meatbags… deal with it! Okay, bills paid, and now… ‘

18. ‚… lets make some money!‘
- Yep… they totally went for the money… Fortune is really a wonderful aspiration for Servos, you buy them fridges, toilets,
showers, raise their aspiration with it ,than put it into the inventory so it can‘t decrease in worth and they start rolling the
wants all over again… and then you sell all of it the next day…. -

19. - … okay, they also went onto a few dates, to keep their social score high and make future dates easier as well… -

20. - … and then one of… oh yes, that‘s A-2, because she is the second one of the Servas in the queue… yep, the numbering
system works perfectly… got a job… -
‚Hm… Masters‘ Lab has attracted many companies to branch out their business to this Island… one of them is looking for a
technician here… I could work my way up the ladder, become really influential and finally reign over a powerful cartel that
will control the entire worlds economical network… or I could just squeeze out the life out of all the meatbags in the world…
meh, doesn‘t really make a difference… lets do the first one!‘

21. - … and for that, A-2 and her partner… male A-2... had a date… -

22. - … and then she got promoted for it… I wish, I could have a date and then get promoted for it…

23. - … still, Serva A-2 had a bit of work to do for rising up the ladder… like strengthening her Charisma… -
‚ Test, test… 1,2,3… *Ahem* EXTERMINATE! EXTERMINATE!‘
-… yep, totally strengthening her charisma…-

24. - … While Servo A-2 played Videogames… wha? Hey, about supporting your girlfriend? –
‚ I am supporting her! Just like the rest of us, giving financial advice left and right to synchronize her ridiculous decisions
with the actual economical situation…!‘
- Well, you are just playing… !-
‚Financial advice makes fun drop like a stone… and I‘m playing a tournament, so if I win, I get money!‘
- … oh. Well. Carry on… -
‚Stupid meatbag….‘

25. - … and so another promotion followed… and here you already see, how the investing perks adds more and more money
based on the current income of the household… now imagine what happens if Professor Disc would have that perk… -

26. - … anyway, Serva A-2 also needed some creativity, so she painted her way there… -
‚This will be my red period… oh yes, red, I like red… much, much red…splattering all over the frame…‘
- …. Okay, I‘m starting to feel a bit uncomfortable… ehr… A… 3, yes A-3, do you also have this … well, obsession with red
and extermination….? –
‚ Oh no, that's just A-2‘s stick… she‘s the one with the job in business after all…‘
- Phew, I‘m relieved… -
*snicker* ‚stupid Meatbag….‘

27. - After that, the rest of the days were basically spent with advising, skilling, playing tournaments, keeping aspirations up by
buying useless stuff – okay, sometimes they also recharged outside the building, which was kind of a hassle with only 2
elevators… but I digress … -

28. - So after getting her Charisma and Creativity up, Serva A-2 also managed to work on her logic skill… -
‚Queen to A-2 – everybody diiiies!‘

29. - … Man, A-2 is cree… Hey, Chance Card: The Main office informs all assistants, that a new position has opened up as a
junior executive and must be occupied. Whoever concludes the most contracts till the end of the day gets the job. This
is a good time for A-2 to start Telemarketing. Or should she do the safer, door to door method?
‚OoOoh, door to door is tempting…‘
- Uggh… look, call me meatbag, but please, please don‘t create any body bags… -
‚Deal! Ha, that‘s the first one…‘

30. - *Ahem*: While Serva A-2 is dealing with a potential client, his mobile phone rings. The caller is a concurrent, who wants
to offer a contract. Serva A-2‘s client gets really angry and shouts for half a minute into the phone. Then he disconnects
mid-sentence and focuses on Serva A-2 again. After a short amount of time the contract is concluded . Serva A-2 gets
promoted and can move into her new office with window. –
‚Haha – stupid humans!‘
- Hey, you said humans, not meatbags?! –
‚Why do you think did I practice my Charisma? He, Stupid meatba… player…‘

31. - …. Of course the good chance card outcome didn‘t really make a difference – with her platinum aspiration, A-2 was
going to be promoted anyway… unfortunately I couldn‘t send her back to work to immediately to get another
promotion… or is this just another glitch…? –
‚ Only your kind could sell flawed products and make a profit out of it, you…‘
- *groan* Humans? Meatbags? For once, I can‘t even complain… -
‚… now you‘ve taken the fun out of saying it… spoilsport…‘

32. -… anyway, the rest of the day was spent some more skilling, then A-2 had reached the required Skill points for topping the
career and was sent to the computer for earning more money as well… -

33. - … and then, almost unnoticed, it became winter… seriously, the seasonal change happens totally at random,
sometimes it‘s 2 AM, sometimes it doesn‘t start until 5 AM… Stupid Game Designer Meatbags.. –
‚ Hey – that‘s degrading to your own kind! You need to learn some etiquette, Mr. Game Player.‘
- Wha..?. Wait, you are… 1, 2… Servo A-3… What are you suddenly talking about etiquette? I thought, you Servos called
us humans meatbags as well, because we call you… well… slaves… -
‚How about ‚people‘? Can‘t we just call each other ‚people‘? Or Guys or Gals or anything non-demeaning… I‘d like that!‘
- …. Deal. Okay, that‘s all for household A for now… See you! -
