Adventures in Murkland Post Apocalyptic

I worked every day for only a certain amount of time to write a book. I present it to the Mayor and can you believe he said it was not good enough. He says I have to create a best seller. This challenge of his is going to be a lot harder than I originally thought. 

So I mentioned how I had been working really hard on the current challenge. Well once again I managed to not make it to my tent. Why did I have to crash here of all places?! Next to the piss bush! Murk I swear. I sure hope this challenge goes by quick.

How can one be hungry, tired and have to pee all at the same time?! Easy, get tunnel vision while writing your latest book and forget about everything else. This is going to be a long walk home. I sure do hope I make it before anything bad happens. One of these days I will learn to take breaks.

Derrick called and begged me to come out with him for a date. I know it sounds desperate but he knew how hard I have been working to make it possible for us to live together. He loves my hair! At first he was not so sure about it. He had gotten used to seeing it short. But then again he was shocked to see it so short when I found him. Either way I got a break from writing novels at the library.

So, now that I have finished the gym quest and did not get caught it is time for me to get on track with the Mayors challenges or quests as I call them. Next on his list of challenges is the library. To be honest I did not know we had one in town. Anyway, from what I have gathered from asking around I need to master writing and create ten best sellers to leave at the library for others to read and to fill up the empty shelves. Well here goes nothing! Derrick may not see much of me. Seems like I can power through this one but we will see.

Don't get me wrong I loved having people around to talk to. But, it at times was to much. Sleeping was hard with the constant sound of people playing basketball and working out. Now I don't have to worry about waiting in line to use the grill or the bush. I forgot how quiet it was here at home and I am glad to be back. Now where did Derrick run off to?

Well, now that I am half way through this strange challenge the Mayor has set up it is time for a  change. I do hope that Derrick likes it. My hair has been short for so long I thought it would be awesome to let it grow out! From what I have heard the next challenge to become a permanent resident is a library challenge. Should be interesting.

With the gym challenge finished I am now back home! Murk I need a shower. I forgot how much the plants smell. Anyway I was looking in the mirror and thought now that I am in shape maybe its time for a slight change. I hope Derrick likes it. Here goes nothing!

Did I get you with that? No, its not the end of my journal just the end of this side quest with the  gym! I made it with out being caught by the Mayor thank Murk. With all my plants being perfect, being in the best shape of my life and having made $15,000 I can now go back home to my trash plants and get started on my next quest. Can't wait! I'm one step closer to having Derrick day and night. It will be nice to not sleep alone.

The last batch of remedies I made now are ready to sell. I am counting down the days until I am able to go back home and move on to the next quest and be one step closer to Derrick and a permanent resident of Murkland. Don't get me wrong. A lot of the people here are awesome  but there are some I will be glad to get away from for a while.

As I get closer to the end of this quest or mission I have continued to make and sell my remedies. It looks like this could be the last batch that I make and sell. As always who is hovering? Don. He is well known around Murkland as being a player. The one who never settles for one girl but many.

Almost there, I am so tired. It seems like all I do is come down here and tend to two plants and go back topside. This time I only have to worry about one plant. One of the two has evolved and I am one step closer to being done and able to go home. I have also been pondering a change as well.

I have been working so hard on these plant's. Evolving and caring for them. I am down to my last two that need to be perfect. Hopefully it won't take to much time as I will be glad to go home and not have to be around so many people every day. One step closer to Derrick.

I swear if these earthquakes don't stop Derrick will be with out a girlfriend. I was in the middle of playing when what do you know a earthquake hits! Scared the life out of me I swear it did. Guess I will take a break from playing until my hands stop shaking.

As always I run into Don. Dude how many times do I have to tell you that I am taken and already know your reputation. So why would I leave a man who does not sleep around on me. I will be so glad when I can go back to my little tent and stinky plants.

There is always something to do around the gym whether its working out on the equipment or playing basketball. Basketball came rather easy to me which I was surprised. Perhaps it was due to me sitting on the side lines watching Derrick play for the school team. Who knows maybe we can get a basketball net and play once I am able to live with him. It kills time while waiting for plants to be evolved.

Seriously?! With the shortage of fresh water and the fact we have poison fish you would think people would not waste food. I was walking through the gym when I noticed someone had started making cobbler and left it. So whats a girl to do? Make cobbler! It was yummy to by the way.

Scary moment today. I was selling my remedies and the Mayor stopped by to check on things like the Mayor does at all lots around Murkland. Not long after the Mayor left a few people kept coming around that I had not seen before. I hope the Mayor is not on to me. I sure hope I can get this done and move on to the next quest. I might be a little cautious next time a Murklander mentions a side quest where you can not get caught by the Mayor.

So while I was working at the gym I noticed the Mayor was nosing around so I quickly ran to the busking station and started to busk with my violin. Oddly enough the Mayor said nothing and dropped a few simoleons in my violin case!

I can not wait to be done with this part of the quest. I just hope the Mayor has not figured anything out yet so I wont get caught and get in trouble. So I suppose until then. I DANCE!

So after running into Vlad it has made me a little nervous being at the gym. From what I have seen in movies they can not get in a house owned by a human. I asked around if anyone had seen him around or any others like him. This lady did not seem to be to worried about it but then again shes not living here. This is one of those times having Derrick with me 24/7 would be nice.

I swear it is like watching paint dry! I go down every morning and sometimes during the day and at night to check the plants and it is taking them forever! I suppose I will need to keep selling remedies and hanging out with Derrick  who oddly enough I haven't seen in a few days.

So you might be wondering why I am playing the violin in front of the fire. Well! I just reached my simoleons goal of 15,000. Now all I have to do is keep selling my remedies and make sure my plants are perfect which hopefully won't take to long. After that I will be on my next mission to become a resident of Murkland.
