Welcome back to the Smole! Previously the
remaining 10 contestants went to do a mission by swimming. Michael didn’t swim
past 50m, and Victor didn’t even try. At the execution quiz, Amy failed and got
eliminated. Who will be next?
“Why you up so early Victor?”
“You know, just thinking about stuff. You?”
“You know, just thinking about stuff. You?”
“I’m cooking a meal for breakfast
tomorrow…today. Whatever.”
“We’re the only two awake. Want to chat?”
“I suspect Victor. He failed two of the
missions. At first my eyes were on Amy. For more than one reason. She didn’t
pass two missions too. But when she was executed last night, I knew I was
wrong. Phew. I was fast enough not to be eliminated! Anyway, Victor is next,
but to last longer, I’ll need to sound him out.”
“So this is what the Journal room looks
like. Interesting…ly plain. Anyway, things didn’t go so well today. I guessed I
started out on the wrong foot and in the wrong place.”
“How dare you peep at me in the bathroom!”
“Dude, you peeped at her? That’s sick!”
“Shut it, Jon.”
“Okay, sorry Bloom. I really had no idea
you were in there! And it’s partly your fault for not locking the door.”
“…Fine. Apology accepted.”
“Good guys, because we have another
mission. We are given a piece of a room to describe to one Sim, who will build it.
There are 2 rounds, meaning 2 sims. Each slice is worth 20 points, making this
worth 240 points. Let’s do this guys!”
***
“Some of the items you may need are here.
The rest, you have to get from the furniture shop halfway across town. And you
only have 2 hours for each round. There are also 2 hidden exemptions. Good
luck!”
“What!”
“Okay, first things first. Our first
builder is Diana, our second builder is Michael right?”
“This is going to be easy!”
“Eh, I don’t think so Michael. We have time
constraints. Transportation constraints.”
***
“Results! For the first round, the left
picture is the before picture, and the right picture is the after picture. This
is what each contestant had to say:
1.
Tulip-There is a door with 3
mosaics at the far back. It’s wooden. The mosaics are yellow. The handle is on
the left. Underneath there is a semi-circle rug. I’m not sure what colour it
is. It’s rather bland.”
2.
Victor-There is a wall light
that’s transparent and square on the left. Close to the right, there is a picture
of a house that looks knitted. Below that is an orange 3-seater. I see
something pink though I’m unsure what at the bottom. I think they are orchids.”
3.
Whitney-For my slice, the wall
is empty. I only see a checkered green lampshade near the bottom of my
picture.”
4.
Jonathan-There’s a plant out
front. It’s in a black pot and has dark green leaves. I think I see the bottom
of a black door at the back.”
5.
Bloom-All right. I see a
squarish coffee table in the middle, in front of an orange chair. There’s a pot
of something on it. The table looks rather modern, and the pot fits the theme
right there. There is a round rug below it. It’s mainly green. In front there
is a video game console and VR goggles.”
6.
Reginald-I see an orange
1-seater facing the left. It looks soft and comfy. There is a big bulky black
stereo at the end of the room at the foreground.”
“Here’s for the second.
1.
Tulip-There is a picture in a
wooden frame that’s slightly orange. It looks like a serene picture. I think it’s a fishing
scene. At the bottom right is a portion of a table that’s wooden.”
2.
Victor-There’s a round window
on my picture at the center. Beside it is a yellow metallic sun badge. Below
them is a bed with cow prints, blue and black. To the left is a wooden table.
On it are a small plant with a metal pot and a tissue box that’s white.”
3.
Whitney-There’s a modern wooden
clock way up high at the right. There’s also a wooden table that’s empty. I
think it’s a bedside table. There’s the top of something else wooden.”
4.
Jonathan –I have a mirror with
its back facing me. It’s diagonal.”
5.
Bloom-I have absolutely nothing
in my section.”
6.
Reginald-There is a divider
that’s wooden and close to white. In front of that is a dresser facing
diagonal. It’s wooden and white and is facing northwest and the divider.”
“For the first round, 4 slices are right,
giving you 80 points. For the 2nd round, 2 slices are right, giving
40 points. That’s a total of 120/240, or 890 points. Upon what, I don’t know.
Go calculate yourself.”
“One word-sabotage. There was a lot of
sabotage in that mission. There were also many vague things. For example, Tulip
didn’t state what kind of semicircle rug. She just said bland. Fortunately Diana
picked the right choice. Jonathan also tried to fool her by telling me the door
was metallic, but she went with Tulip, luckily. Bloom just said round, so she
assumed circle rug, not oval. Nobody said what kind of 3-seater sofa it was or
what type wood wood the bedside tables were. My attention is on Bloom, Victor
and Jonathan.”
“How could you sabotage?”
“Speak for yourself. You did too.”
“I guess. But I thought I was the smart
one.”
“You’re just smart-alecky.”
“At least we both have exemptions by
including two things that weren’t there: the video console and tissue box.”
“So we’re even.”
“Yeah. Want to be in a coalition?”
“Henrietta already asked.”
“She what? She didn’t tell me! Did you
join?”
“No.”
“No.”
“I think I know what she’s up to. Let’s
form a secret one without telling her. She how she likes them apples!”
***
“You crack me up sometimes, Michael.”
“Glad that I do.”
“Hey, want to be in a coalition?”
“Me? Nah, I’d rather work alone.”
“Come on.”
“Give me one good reason.”
“Give me one good reason.”
“You’re too funny to be the Mole and I
trust you?”
“Right. They are 2 reasons, and both
unsatisfactory.”
“Yaah!”
“You know how to fix that Victor?”
“Not really. But it annoys the heck out of
me.”
***
“Want to join us Tulip?”
“Umm, you sure about that Bloom?”
“It’s fine really. I prefer rock anyway.”
“Speaking of which…”
“I know I haven’t really been in here yet. I
just can’t sit still for long enough. Not that I have much to say. I’m your
typical punk rock goth rockstar, except to a lesser degree. Henrietta’s
approached me to join her coalition. I heard she’s been going asking everyone
that recently. She’s overdoing it. She’s looking like the mole.”
Pot: 890/1100
