Chapter One

First order of business is getting a job.

"Hmm, let's see here. Writer's assistant. Perfect."

"Hello there! What's your name?"

Oh...how embarrassing. The first person we meet is Geoffrey Landgraab, whose house we leveled to obtain this 50x50 lot for the challenge. I hope he's not holding a grudge.

"Stranger danger!"

Due to Sherri's loner trait, three is definitely a crowd.

"Oh my, look at the time. Gotta go. Peace."

"Psst... Is that who I think it is?"

Geoffrey followed us to the library. 

"Stalk much, Landgraab?"

Though Sherri doesn't like a lot of people around, the library is still a great place for her.

Not many people venture upstairs.

"Actually, none do."

"Look at me reading and watching a chess match at the same time like a boss."

Sherri really needs to read for work, but there are just too many people around.

"Must...get...away."

 We make tracks for home.

This is our starting setup.

Sherri really needs to practice writing for her job. Plus her aspiration requires her to write as well. Sacrifices must be made, and I'm sure I can tend to some of the more basic needs on other lots. I'm left with $430.

I wasn't too sure about placing a toilet outside like this, but it apparently doesn't bother Sherri at all if people are walking by on the street while she is peeing.

"Psh, no one is watching."

This is good because running across town to pee was not going to be fun.

Wonderful! This should be something good to sell.

"I'm supposed to collect stuff for the challenge, right?"

Does that mean you can't sell it?

"Er, I dunno."

Crud.

"Mortimer!"

"I've heard so much about you."

"But I'm very tense right now, so you're kind of ticking me off!"

Sucks to be a loner. Maybe it's time for some shut-eye.

Late night munchies win out over sleep.

I remembered someone mentioning free chips at the bar, so off we went.

"Um, is that Geoffrey?"

That hat isn't fooling anyone.

After oinking on chips, it's time to take advantage of the facilities.

Hand washing, teeth brushing, and good as new.

Okay, maybe not quite new.

All the friendly banter has taken a toll. Even chip fiends need sleep.

I'm embarrassed to say that Sherri has become quite the regular at the bar.

She gets some strange looks, but free food is a major draw.

"Dude, you never said there was a limit."

And there's no lack of possible mates hanging around the vicinity.

I don't know about this one.

"Not my type."

In order to keep things fresh, we start bar hopping. 

And what do you know? We find a bartender that's much more to our liking.

This is Kason Gray.

He starts showing up behind the bar wherever we go.

Kason is much more professional than Bob. Geez, get a room.

Love appears to be in the air. Maybe we can nab some.

Aww, hugging your bartender.

How romantic...or weird.

Woo! Things are heating up quickly.

He's all that AND a bowl of chips. Ha! Sorry, couldn't help it.

This could be our guy.

Will Sherri marry Kason and stop eating so many chips? Look out for Chapter 2.
