English Legacy: These Days (Chapter 3)

Greetings, readers. It's the Creator, here. When we last left our hero, he was on his way to his first day of work, with the mindset (thanks to me) of getting promoted as quickly as possible.

I'm glad to say that by the end of Friday, he had managed to get himself promoted to Traffic Cop, where among other things, you can apprehend burglars! He managed to use most of his money to slowly upgrade his possessions.
For example, now he has a bathtub to sit on while eating, instead of the throne. Progress!

As for his friend Shirley, our Founder spent most of his first Saturday trying to get to know her better. all he'd known at the start was that she was a Hopeless Romantic, like himself.
After meeting, he went with her to the diner, for some food and conversation. One thing I learned is that she had a really strange combo of traits so far - She has No Sense of Humor, and is Unflirty. Yes, I'll let that sink in. It seems that Shirley, she must be serious!

I suppose I might not be a barrel o' laughs if my job involved Bed Pans, like hers does.

Well, our hero, being the Good person he is, doesn't see her so much a marriage prospect anymore, but he still Wishes to be Good Friends with her while he keeps looking.

In other developments, young Brian finally saved up the dosh to buy his first computer, which he immediately put to use Hacking, to get some additional cash flow. Yes, my law-enforcement Founder is hacking himself money.

Irony; I wrap it around me like a warm blanket.
Of course, two nights after he bought the PC, things got... weird. When you reach Traffic Cop, the game goes out of it's way to tell you that you are trained to apprehend burglars!
Unless, of course, it's YOUR house, or lawn, they're robbing. If there's something specific you have to do to apprehend a Burglar, I'd love to know what it is. The burglar made off with Brian's brand new $45 desk lamp (which was on the same table as the $700 COMPUTER), his bottle of bubble bath, and his rubber ducky. The fiend!
Oh yeah, a ghost showed up at the same time. A ghost. I've no idea where it came from. I do know where he went - right to the computer to play games on it.
This, of course, made it so our hero could not pee while the ghost was there. Not to be thwarted, he thought maybe if he talked to the ghost, he could get him to leave!
"If you are going to kill a man anyway, it costs nothing to be polite." Especially if he's already dead, I guess. Our hero continued with his plan, to see if he could get a dialog option of "Goodbye" to use on the ghost.
No, he didn't get a Goodbye option... he had to wait until 6:00 AM, when the ghost went poof. He DID learn that this particular ghost was unemployed. There's a shocker. *rolleyes*
