Everet flicks his hair out of his face and squints to look over the small crowd that has been gathering. He can do this, but they're going to have to become much more excited, a proper force to be reckoned with!
The boss is off in his own little world. He must have an entire pet shop hidden in his pants.
“And it begins with Everet taking the podium with an ironic and loud start to the speech. “What are you all DOING HERE?! Aren't you supposed to be AT WORK!? Lining the pockets of a greedy shareholder who right now is lounging at some country club? Or gambling it all away down the street? Why all this vitriol, the outrage? You should have known what you were IN FOR!”
“You all are also just in it FOR THE MONEY. So what gives you the right- Jake from accounting (he points)- to be out here trying to undermine your boss's best efforts to drive a Ferrari?"
“Well the Sim-Nation dream is in that Ferrari, and why shouldn't we have them too? We should all drive expensive cars, because everybody knows that we all do the same amount of work anyways. I've seen you napping Jaycen, I've seen it! And while I know you won't have the balls to fire me over this, I also know that you'd like to make more money too!”
“So let's complain so hard this sh*t gets printed in the paper!!”
Crowd: “WHOOO!”
The buddhist palm of STOP WORKING sign really seems to resonate with the crowd. Everet can taste those extra two simoleans an hour.
So he puts all of his effort into doing what the crowd wants to see, and saying what their ears are hungry to hear.
Jaycen and Misept are off in their own little world or whatever on the other side of the park.
This is going to be talked about for sure, Everet thinks to himself. We have a chance at this!
Another second later though and his thoughts are turned to-
This woman! What is she DOING? He invited her here so she could help out, show some support maybe? Not be playing study sesh with the BOSS!
Misept: “See? It's all online. You can totally streamline your process with less workers I'll bet. This Wikihow article knows all about your specific business' payroll and hiring concerns!”
Misept... has betrayed him in his cause.
So he takes the fight directly to them and shouts the whole time they're talking. A perfect strategy.
And then it's back to the podium for some applause and to enjoy the cacophony of many voices screaming themselves hoarse at once.
Nobody can hear his heartfelt speech, but he is convinced his body language alone can carry the protest at this point.
Like a concert with long lines to the port o potty, this protest goes on for hours, into the late afternoon. Everet has been at this park all freaking day long without so much as a bite to eat or a trip to the bathroom.
Finally the event is over and it turns out the majority shareholder was in attendance.
And that person was so scared that workers were going to strike that he decided to give more of his money to the people and fund a two simolean raise for every worker in town. That guy must be loaded, and celebrations must be in order!
To the showers!
The successful end to the protest prompted the release of balloons by the crowd, good thing it wasn't an environmentalist cause.
Then Ev left the crowd to slap a random park visitor across the cheek.
Which became a brawl that he won. That'll show you to use the park not for protesting!
And some random street art to fill a skill up wish.
The evening ends with only a few things fulfilled for the day, but they were kind of big, so the newspapers can wait to be collected.
After an early breakfast of leftovers, Everet decides that he wants to garden.
...so it's back to the park that he spent most of yesterday at. It's cool at the beginning of the day. Too bad he can't harvest a cactus to eat or treat sunburn with, or something. /missed opportunity
Everet wishes to meet someone new.
Once he's in the door he's assaulted by Piper Sparks so fast I didn't get a picture of it.
…he is upset. She's fresh out of high school, and he is not interested. He offers her a lecture.
“Get a clue, girl. Let a guy pursue you, you don't have to initiate when you don't even know the person!”
“I'm sorry, I just thought you were cute. The guys at school always went for that.”
Ick. “That's not the kind of life experience your parents want you to have fresh out of school, trust me. Learn a skill, make regular friendships.”
“Okay, I'll wait to get to know someone now that I'm an adult.”
“That's the spirit.” He encourages her, and gets the heck out of there. At least he got to meet someone new.
...also, she has really weird eyes. And eyelashes, which none of my sims have had for ages. No idea what mod or glitch causes it. But she was made by Eaxis, so I don't think it's entirely my game's fault that she looks like this.
I'm not sure what this increase was for, if it was to be at a party, or to meet someone new... as Piper didn't give him any points.
Some excuse or another allowed me to skill athletic on the way home.
And hunger compelled him to make mac n cheese, which somehow involves using a knife. You can take a boy out of the urban gangs, but you can't the knife outta his life.
That's right, I don't need a woman living here. I can make my own food.
Perfect.
The next morning, he autonomously washes up the ruined macaroni (which wasn't even burned!), thereby breaking the sink. He cleans the counters... this man is not neat nor a slob, so this is pretty great.
Pansy Northrope comes over for a visit.
She begins to eat dirt, and he pretends this is gross because it's the reaction she expects. He's seen much grosser things, mostly what the family cat Miura used to bring home back in Starlight.
She wants to play ball outside, being a very sporty sim.
Nobody wishes to fix the sink.
Next time I play a wishacy, I'm naming the heir Nobody, so I can make them do everything that's not rolled and have a Dirty Wishacy TM. ...and some extra will get to have all their wishes.
Then Ev gets kidnapped by aliens after she leaves.
Which was NOT lovely, thank-you-very-much.
By the morning I've just bought him a new sink. Don't recall if it was allowed, my notes are long gone. But most likely I used one of his 'buy something worth X amount' wishes on it.
...and he settles in to watch a horror movie.
And Marisol comes over to beat someone up that he invited for a party. Marisol is good, so it could be for good reason, but it looks like it could be Pansy that's she's fighting. It's the start of a party he rolled a wish to throw.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Don't have totals, sorry about that! I have his save, and he may look odd soon as I've reinstalled the game since I've played, but hey Everet's dreams of being a layabout womanizer in the desert are not dead yet!
