Since our last visit, Eremias' sister, Magda (with the boobs) moved out and married the Hill boy (worker family residing Maurice Creek at the upper Gal District. She wanted to find a rich town boy, but coming from this poor quarter that wasn't as easy as Magda thought...
Eremias and Tusha are doing pretty well, but they don't have enough money to buy any new stuff. Tusha wants a bicycle and Eremias wants a chicken coop, but at the moment they can afford neither.
Eremias' younger brother, Jody Fogdale, was planning to move out, but having no starter money, he can't build his own house, but would need to rent a room or get hired somewhere. So, today he asked Eremias to stay a little longer. Jody is the one working hardest with the crops, so Eremias would have been stupid turning down the request.
Tusha works at Garton Technologies, the biggest factory here in the Dump. Now that their daughter Misty became teenager, Tusha convinced her to take a few evening shifts as well. Tusha is concerned with the fate of the discoloured kids, and Misty being one of those, and see it as a good move to make them spend time amongst others, rather than staying at home avoiding reality. At the factory nobody cared about Misty's skin and kinda unfortunate looks, but then abnormal kids are pretty common in this district.
Tusha would like to join the politics, especially now that the Stadium is debated, but she knows there's no opportunities there for her, so now she aims for becoming the next factory workers spokes person instead.
Jody dreams of becoming a novelist. A few days every week he brings some paper sheets and a few pens to Ellie's Library. The library is pretty old already, located just east of the Town Hall. Jody started a sci-fi novel, inspired by all the cars that have filled town lately. But then a woman started to talk to the library's director, pretty loudly, and Cody just couldn't concentrate. He knew who she was, Camille Kragger from Moon district. It sounded like if someone who died had left behind a few books...
Across town, near the City region, Misty was at Constant Hope Hospital. She was waiting for the annual check, together with Albertin Smith, also from the Dump. She likes him, but knowing he will soon grow up while she just left childhood, well...
There are currently 4 locals working at the hospital. Elderly Alphonso Brugster is a specialist (soon to retire), Countess Constance Pettonta works a few days every week as a general doctor, and Cornelia Brottington (wife of the photographer) is a nurse, and is also serving the reception desk.
Misty had been to these checks many times, and knew the routine. They would take a few tests of her skin, listen for weird sounds from her chest and back, asking all the same stupid questions that she answered hundreds of times already.
Doctor Brugster was a nice old man, but it would be tons more interesting if he asked her how she felt about looking so different. He could have asked if any adults called her bad names, or if the school bus driver joked about her looks. But no, he only followed the old medical tracks.
I gotta tell you a little about what the doctors have found concerning the abnormalities. They think it is just a skin disease, and they think it was caused by the catastrophe 90ya. They still have no clue to what caused the reaction though, and doctors don't believe in magic, so...
After both had their tests, Misty and Albertin walked down to the Old Market, that recently burned down, but now reopened as a festival park. The council suggested a new fancy name, but most locals still called it Old Town Market, or just Old Market. A corner is still offering farming products, though.
When Misty and Albertin arrived, other guests stared at them. To the right are the two nosy kids of Ludmilla Barksdale.
Ludmilla herself was busy conversing with Mrs Andrine Seylouse, and Misty could hear the blond woman suggest to ignore the two! Btw, Ludmilla Barksdale is the one owning Chez Ludmilla, the tiny restaurant in front of Church of Similius.
Misty got a chance to test the horseshoe thing (I had it for so long, but this is actually the first time I tested it, lol).
They could of course not afford buying hot dogs or burgers, but there was an eating contest coming up, and hey - that's a smart way to ease the hunger, right? (Never tested this before either, I basically dislike playing with food, but as my sims were hungry it didn't feel as wasted - LOL )
Finally, the Old Town Marked seen from the Town Hall. Together with the tiny park it forms a nice little line down to the harbour and the sea. Art Academy is to the left, Heiserclump Bakery and the church to the right. After taking the picture, I noticed what must be an UFO being parked down there! Now I wonder where that alien was hiding, as I totally missed it all?
All for now, next stop will be the Moonster family of the mysterious Moon District!
