Turn 4 - Second Trimester

My birthday came and went, and I made sure to call my sister once a month as a common courtesy. Our relationship didn't exaclty improved but it didn't deteriorated either. She's still nagging that I should try some other college instead of my target one, which I just nod and smile at her. I'm sure she's already onto me by this point, but she should know by now that I will take her advise as it is, suggestions instead of demands.

When I get to college and crown myself as a genius I will show them all, I WILL SHOW THEM ALL!!!

"Mwahahahahaha!"

"Are you alright?" Said my neighbor and fellow coworker once she passed my opened door to my house, "what happened?"

"Just...something funny I remembered. Nothing much. Oh look at the time I need to take a bath see you later have a nice day!"

Roll: 55, 1 pass

There were only a few friends you had, but you managed to reconnect with them, going out to drink once or twice and just talking about your lives. It was a good feeling that you weren't forgotten by them, easing some of your worries and fears. Though your friend Andre grumbled that you aren't going to the gym those past months, but you assured him that you would go back as soon as you could since you're mostly busy with studying this year.

All in all, it was a good time spent.

Crappy Flash Game

Roll: 63

You made a crappy ballon popping game that earned a two and half stars overall, mostly because you added a lot of upgrades and extra abilities to the simply concept. Quick, dirt and good enough of time waster. At least now you can say you put your newgrounds account to good use.

Rumor Mill
A friend's wedding: Your friend Andre will get married in a small ceremony. There will be a barbecue later and you're invited. Score!

Time to go to the wedding and jelly about being still single. And a wizard.

Or so the latest horoscope said when you read it.

[ryuan]

@Cybandeath , you already work a full time job by default. It's part of the reason why you have three actions per turn instead of more.

Also, he's going to the friend's wedding regardless if you vote to it or not, it's redundant at this point.

Back in shape + sister + kaleidoscope won because it was a tie and as tie breaker I looked which of the highest votes was the last one.

 

[Cybandeath]

why is everyone insistent on reconnecting with our family? our family HATES us, sure our sister is nice but we will be LEAVING this dimension, connecting with her is UTTERLY useless, in every scenario I can imagine she is a burden, especially towards our decision making and being able to improve our stats.

also we shouldn't be working on multidimensional theory anymore as we cant do anything AT ALL with it till AFTER college.....if we are going to work on it work on it during college we are already THE BEST in world at it already....

 

[ryuan]

@Cybandeath, the option to write the Kaleidoscope is to have backups on it and to have the material already finished. If you don't do this now you will have to spend time later to write the theories and math out. Just because you finished the basics quickly doesn't mean it was a little, it just meant that Andre went through the material really quickly.

Turn 5 - Third Trimester

"So... you're going to college this time? Not going to put it off once more?" Said my sister through the phone.

"Yep, much better mental space does that for you." I replied with good cheer.

"And what do you plan to do again?"

"I plan to get a physics degree, maybe get into engineering later. Mostly I plan to become a researcher, there's this paper on quantum physics that made me motivated to study it."

"Hmm", she said without enthusiasm, "well, good luck I guess. I got to go, my lunch time is almost over, see you soon."

Roll: 38, 1 pass

Those past three months you keep training diligently. Not much of a great performance, but good enough that you maintained your gains and started working your way towards getting back into shape. Still those last few kilos of extra fat will be the hardest to take away.

Still, you persevere.

Roll: 53, average

The wedding went quickly, and soon you went to the reception in a nearby country house rented just for it. There was lots of food, plenty of drinks and you saw a couple of old faces, alongside a few new ones. All in all an enjoyable bout of socialization.

You also took quite a few pictures, and you plan to print them to make an album later to keep the memories of this event.

You went to the wedding alone and came back alone, but at least you didn't made a fool of yourself in it and soured relations with your friend. That alone is a win in your book.

Click to shrink...

It's also capped. The only way to get better in this trait is if you become something inhuman. Of course, higher learning also help with the rolls but compared with the trait it gives a comparatively lower bonus compared with the amount of effort you need to expend to raise from 20~ to 30~ range
