Day 4: Something Strange

 I met Nora Zeal-Ott on my way to buy a shower. Apparently she's running for Assistant Associate Treasurer and has been Miss Sim Valley for the last 3 years. Good for her. I don't know her well enough to know if I'm going to vote for her, though. I'm just here for vacation, so I probably can't actually vote for her, now that I think about it. 

I was able to deliver that CD to her from Vera Vex, and do you know what Nora did? Complained that I didn't deliver it fast enough. Seems rude to be honest. Not a way to be if you're trying to get someone's vote.

I ran into the detective at the general store when I was going to buy a shower. He asked me to deliver a wanted poster to Dusty Hogg. I haven't even met Dusty Hogg. Guess I will eventually. Hopefully he's not as rude as Nora was. 

I glanced at the poster out of curiosity. A man is wanted for trapping his roommate in his house with furniture and just watching him starve. That's messed up. Who does that sort of thing?? Luckily I was able to put it out of my mind quickly, because as I was heading back to the barn to install my new shower, I met Dusty. He calls himself mean, but when I delivered the poster, he was grateful and even paid me some simoleons. The payment wasn't necessary, but I gladly accepted it. I don't think he's as mean as he claims to be. He's just a big teddy bear, I'm certain of it. 



After getting the shower installed (which was way easier than I thought it would be, who would've guessed all you have to do is place it down somewhere?), Uncle Hayseed said Detective Dan had a favor to ask me. Kind of annoying he didn't just ask me when I saw him at the general store, but it is what it is.

I found him outside the general store, apparently his favor is for me to befriend his niece. Nora is his niece. She might have more friends if she was less rude. Dan said she lost her mother to the Veloci-Rooster. 

Dan also asked me to check out the nightly auction at the general store because something fishy is going on.

I hung out with Nora for a bit, then it was time for the auction. I bid all I could, but I had nowhere near the amount Vernon Peeve did. I was going for a cool suit of armor, if you were wondering. 

Ever since I got to Sim Valley, the road by Uncle Hayseed's has been blocked off by road blocks, and the road past the general store has been blocked off by a bunch of motorcycles. Uncle Hayseed asked me to talk to the bikers to get them to move their bikes so he could deliver some produce to Sim City. 



I went back to Dusty Hogg. He seems like a biker gang leader. Apparently his bike broke down and he lost his helmet. I told him I'd help him out if he got his friends to move their bikes afterwards. He laughed at the prospect of me fixing his bike, but said I was welcome to try. Well, joke's on him because I was able to do it. Fixed his bike, found his helmet, told him he was all set. He couldn't get the bikes moved though, not yet anyway. Apparently he's friends with the bar owner, and the bar owner needs someone to help sling smoothies. I said I'd do it. Just another job. The bar is called the Burning Spoke by the way. 

I finished slinging smoothies and got a promotion. Then it was time to head home for the night. I'll talk to Dusty tomorrow.
