Hello everyone! It's been a while since the last update, for which I can only apologise and blame Doctor Who. I should be more productive once the Christmas special has aired... unless they find any more missing episodes.
Rest assured, nothing has changed and everyone still hates Lithvia.
Actually, I tell a lie. There's one small difference: in between this update and the last one, I got a new computer, which can handle smooth edges and reflections, which is great because this week's challenge is for all the ladies in the house to max out their charisma. It's so cool seeing their reflections instead of them talking to a blank mirror.
Valmiera is also busy chatting herself up, so Latuania takes over to dish out Lithvia's scheduled beat down.
Russia: Shouldn't you stop them or something?
Latvia: You're joking, right? They're totally vicious.
Russia: But they're putting me off my game.
France: If I said you had a beautiful body, would you hold it against me? Why cherie, I'm flattered. You're too kind. And very beautiful...
I couldn't find England anywhere and every time I clicked on his portrait, the screen would shift over to the elephant herd. So, fifty points to the first person to spot him.
Valmiera wanted to earn some cash, so I made her sell lemonade for a few hours.
Screencap to show that Seychelles is the first to max her charisma.
France, on the other hand, keeps getting distracted by the fights.
France: GOOOOO LATUANIA!
However, both France and Seychelles were already pretty skilled ladies when they joined the household, so France slacking off isn't too much of a problem. On the other hand, Riga and Valmiera have a lot of catching up to do, but happily there's plenty of aspiration points to spend on smart potion. All I need to do is keep them happy hahahahahahahahaha.
Hi Greece.
Hi Ireland.
Greece: BOO!
Dammit France, I thought you were housebroken.
Vilnius: Hey Jonava. Call me when it's my turn to hit him, OK?
France: I need a date to cheer myself up after that little incident.
Czech Republic: Ground, sweet ground.
Forgot that the special effects camera was on, so it was nice to see that first kiss video.
England: But wait, why would you want to spend your day kissing France when you could boogie to the beat instead?
Czech Republic: Hmm, you've got a point there.
Whatever, France isn't bovvered.
Bulgaria: Do you even know what you're doing?
Oops.
Screencap to prove that Riga maxed out Charisma.
Hi Serbia.
Serbia: BOO!
France: WHY IS IT ALWAYS ME!?
Serbia: Oh, sorry. I'll do something about that at once. BOO!
Seychelles: Dammit France!
I wasn't paying attention and the fruit froze on the trees. Happily it didn't seem all that badly affected by that.
That was also when I remembered there were plants in the greenhouse too, haha whoops. Only a few tomato plants died though.
France and Valmiera maxed out charisma. Wow, that was a surprisingly short challenge.
Hungary appeared as a walkby so I had Latvia run outside and hang out with her for a few hours.
Riga: Stop attacking me!
France: You said you wanted to be a werewolf!
Riga: And I'm willing! You don't need to attack me to do it!
Ireland: GRRRR. I'm hungry.
Why? You didn't starve to death.
Ireland: I'm a werewolf. We're always hungry.
England: Mars is bright tonight.
Ireland: That stopped being funny years ago. Grr.
Nobody asked you.
I sent Liet to a community lot to entertain me. He spent the entire time at the poker table instead.
Lithuania: This time I get to rob the Unsavoury Charlatan instead of the other way around.
Who am I to stand in the path of ~true love~?
Good thing he's not a girl, that would've been a completely wasted chance card.
Speaking of the girls, they got themselves scholarships for those charisma skills and then I booted them all out to college.
Seychelles: Bye! Don't hurry back!
Russia: Are you reading Harry Potter again?
England: So what if I am?
Russia: Nothing. Just wondered if I could borrow it after you.
It's very quiet without the teens attempting to kill each other all the time, so I sent everyone to the spa and France indulged herself with a relaxing massage.
Then I sent them to the pub. Which was a bad idea because it hasn't been redecorated since I sorted out my walls and floors and OH GOD MY EYES.
England: GRR.
Wait, did you two fall in love again when I wasn't looking? Because stop it.
England: What? No, that's not the problem. The problem is, France is having fun.
France: And England's misery is just music to my ears.
England: Sorry, did you say something? I didn't hear you over the sound of how smoking hot this guy is.
Seychelles, are you drunk?
I recently started playing around with the custom painting function and I love it. So I made Liet paint a bunch of Doctor Who pictures.
Business as usual with these two.
If you don't think the original Cybermen were creepy as fuck, Liet will be only too happy to paint you a picture.
Liet: I'm actually really not happy about that.
These two carried on fighting the whole time Liet was painting his pretty pretty picture.
So I made them play darts for hours.
England: You know, the only reason they won't have darts as an Olympic sport is because I'd win all the time. Like I won at tennis last year. And Wimbledon this year.
France: Scotland might have something to say about you claiming Andy Murray's win as your own.
England: There's also cycling. Including your Tour De France. Which I won. With my secret special round wheels.
France: Stop distracting me. Or I might accidentally-on-purpose find myself aiming at your head.
England: Mars-
If you say that again, I'll burn your Harry Potter books.
The calendars are a bit of a pain because they reset every time I enter build/buy mode, but I do like getting prompts to do stuff, otherwise every day would be the same. So eff it, I'm throwing a party.
Seychelles: Where's the party?
Lithuania: Surprise snowball party!
Seychelles: Just for future reference, if you do that again, I'll throw one back with a missile in it.
Seychelles: EXCUSE ME, that's OUR newspaper!
Prussia: Not any more, haha.
Hilariously enough, because Seychelles was in the way of the staircase, Prussia ran through the house with her stolen booty and out through the garage.
Seychelles: And you're not invited to our party tonight either!
England: Aliens? Must be Christmas.
He spent so long out there he almost froze solid.
Somehow I got a magic lamp, so I let Russia make a wish.
Russia: You know, I'm actually not sure what to wish for.
England: A shooting star!
Hong Kong: Well here I am, I guess wishes do come true.
Say hello to Father Time! He's a much nicer guest than Santa and doesn't get shitty and leave coal all over the lot.
Baby Father Time: *toot* Let's get this party started!
I love how just a 'not bad' counts as a terrific party.
England: Let's face it, it would've been ten times better if you stopped sucking face with France.
Seychelles: That was uncalled for!
She's right, apologise at once.
England: I'm soooooo sorry for being so antagonistic about your relationship with France. It's not that I think it's icky, I just think you could do so much better.
I guess Seychelles agreed because next thing I knew, she'd fallen in love with Sweden.
And then Sweden started smooching up France's arm? OK then.
France: Two ladies adoring me? I can live with that.
England: STOP BEING HAPPY.
Seychelles: STOP ATTACKING MY GIRLFRIEND!
Hi Serbia. Do me a favour and kill someone, would you? I need a ghost scare death.
Serbia: I'll think about it.
Ah, that delightful glow means England has maxed out Science. And somehow he managed it without ever getting abducted.
And so this update ends with the glorious sight of all the hobby plaques. Yay! Now I can ignore all those annoying hobby wants!
Next time, an easy challenge. I may play two weeks and roll an extra challenge just to make things more interesting.
