1. Hey, it’s you! (waves somewhat maniacally) Welcome back to The
Jack Point Home for Pedestrian Playables, a Residential Facility
for People with Psychological Differences Challenge!
Our playable, Leila Shankel, wants to become a fairy, or at least to
have fairy wings surgically implanted. Since this costs a lot of
money, she is currently working two jobs and saving up. Leila
made President last time, and had a fight about her goals in life
with her boyfriend Abhijeet. A grand total of three residents and
one visitor have died, and nobody is happy. Not even a little bit.
Which I believe is all you need to know to be able to follow along!

2. Let’s pick up right where we left off, shall we? When I sent Leila
to bed last rotation, I didn’t realize that the other beds were already
occupied. Because I can’t wake up the inm -- residents, I decided
that the first person awake would be the one to have their bed taken
away.
Congratulations, Leila! You are the winner!
…Sort of…

3. As it turned out, Leila was actually able to get to the stove, but she
had to Get Hamburger -- she couldn’t just clean it up. Despite my
best efforts, she took one bite of it before the action cancelled.

4. One teeny tiny bite!
Okay, if standing up is out, then so is skilling Charisma. You have
to stand up in front of a mirror for that.

5. You can build logic skill while sitting down, though.
On second thought, why play Mr. Nobody? That’s a waste of a
valuable friend-making opportunity! So Leila invited over her
sister Phoebe and Phoebe’s in-laws: husband Chant, grandfather-
in-law Oliver, and mother-in-law Fantine.

6. FANTINE: What’s that I smell?
LEILA: Some of the in -- er, residents aren’t very good about
personal hygiene. Sorry.
FANTINE: No, it smells like smoke. And the light in your kitchen
looks awful funny.
LEILA: Oh, come on! Are you seriously trying to cheat someone
you only just met?
FANTINE: Fine, let your house burn down. No skin off my nose.

7. CHANT: Um, Leila? I think your house is on fire.
IVANOVA: Ms. Shankel, how can you let things come to this
more than once? What type of residential facility are you running?
Anyone would think you wanted your charges to die!

8. Okay, okay. I can handle this. Have Leila say goodbye to the
guests, because Phoebe would never forgive her if her husband
burned to death. Then break out the fire extinguisher for Ivanova.

9. Thank goodness! It worked! Now on to the next resident to catch
fire.
JEFFINA: Why are you worrying about me? I’m made of titanium
-- the fire would have to be much hotter to make a difference. Go
take care of Milton!
LEILA: What do you mean, “go take care of Milton”?

10. JOE: Miltie-poo! Over here!
MILTON: I can’t! The rabbits are in the way! (clutches at his
head) Run! I’m done for, but you can still save yourselves! Run!
(softly) Wait for me, Ernie…

11. LEILA: Why is this happening to me?
IVANOVA: Subject is displaying classic delusions of reference.
Negative events are clearly not happening to the subject.
LEILA: I’m in charge of this place -- it’s my responsibility!
IVANOVA: Excellent point! Subject also displays irresponsible
behavior. Well, I’m super hungry. I think I’ll head (yawns) up to
bed now.
Unfortunately, she didn’t make it.

12. Behold the Official residential facility collage showing the way
things stood at the end of unlucky Day Thirteen. You can see that
Ivanova has fallen asleep in front of the stairs, rendering them
completely useless. You can also see that the man in the pink
gorilla suit and the embarrassing underpants is the most together
person in the whole place, which is just wrong.
Don’t worry: I collapsed all the panels so that I couldn’t see
anything when selecting the residents. They were selected for
exactly long enough to hit the “C” key, and I gave them no
commands of any kind.

13. Leila fell asleep standing up in her bedroom, for lack of anywhere
else.
Yes, those are pretty violent stink waves. But you see, the tub is
upstairs…

14. Everyone has their own ways of coping, and this
is Joe’s.
JOE: Excuse me, Professor, but how does the
Grim Reaper decide who to take?
PROFESSOR VON BALL:
JOE: Wow, I never knew that! So is that what’s
wrong with Ivanova?
PROFESSOR VON BALL:
JOE: I don’t know what’s wrong with her. That’s
why I asked you.

15. Yes, as it turns out, going to sleep is not the most
appropriate cure for imminent starvation.Who’da
thunk it?
LEILA: Will everyone please get out of my way?
There’s a bed and a bathtub upstairs, and I might
just fall asleep in the tub, I’m so tired!
GRIM REAPER: .’m wor…g a. .ar. an. a. .a.. a. I
ca.. Cu. .e .om. ..ack, .il. .ou?

16. Ivanova was not much liked by the remaining
residents, so she was not much missed. Leila
promptly went upstairs to take her bath. Jeffina
went to bed, for all the good it did her. (Who
knew robots could have nightmares?) And Joe
decided to make a late run for the Aspiration
Failure Championships.

17. Come morning, Leila tempted fate by taking the
time to clean up the kitchen a bit instead of
resting.
Jeffina helped by throwing away a perfectly good
plate of open-faced sandwiches.

18. Leila fixed the sink.
Joe made sure he wasn’t in the way. Such a
considerate fellow!

19. And when Leila had an almost-friend over for a friendship-
building sit-down game of chess, Jeffina and Joe did their best to
keep their guest entertained.
Leila gained a new friend anyway, and was well enough to go to
work on Day Fifteen.

20. Since “taking care of themselves” is not really
in either Joe or Jeffina’s repertoire, I seriously
considered not restoring the kitchen once the
ashes were swept up. But then I realized that
the espresso machine was an absolute necessity
now that we are down to just one bed, so I put
everything back after all.
I mean, we can only have two more fire deaths,
maximum…

21. And at least there really isn’t anything else that can go wrong.
Until next time, Happy Simming!

22. The Grim Reaper said:
I’m working as hard and as fast as I can. Cut me some slack, will
you?
