We were finally out of the game and in our special virtual space.
Normally the place would have a single living room kitchen and a bedroom and small bathroom for me but that kind of changed with Sasha (Nova) here.
For us we were given a special option to more freely design the place. I was given a limit by points I could use to make my space but Sasha had nearly four times the points to use.
I first set up the three basic rooms and two bathrooms which were all free since they were basic needs. Living room was bland with a simple three seat sofa, a small 30 in TV, near the door was a counter which separated the kitchen and living room and acted like a table for us. The kitchen had several shelves a small stove, an oven, and a microwave. There were a few ornaments to spruce the place up but it was still bland.
My room was the same, single bed that looked somewhat comfortable but still had a kind of military feel. The room also had a simple desk with a laptop. Next to that were a few books on a bookshelf.
The bookshelf held books that range from fantasy story books to high school level workbooks.
It was all stuff I missed because of that bitch sending me to jail.
We both then went to Sasha's room. It was much more decorated. A pale pink color on one of the walls while the others are peach, the room was decorated for an 8 year old.
A large single bed with a few stuffed animal pillows, which had her jumping moments after entering the room.
Her room also had bookshelves and a desk. Hers held child stories and elementary school workbooks.
Besides that, cabinets that had lots of clothes. I remember my room had one but it was all simple clothes.
She was happy to have such a childish room.
Now, about those points I talked about. It seems they are the special prize we got. Sasha probably would already have some but not me. At that I have 100 points and she has 400 points.
The points are consumed depending on the cost of points.
The first thing I bought was an "outside". The virtual space didn't have that but the option exists. Because it also came with a child playground I bought this using Sasha's points since she will use it more. I found out things that are hers will change over time to match her age. It was 70 points to get a grassy outdoors with all the elements and feeling.
I then added some color to the bland living room. Wooden floors and new painted walls which were peach colored.
The improvements to this room were 10 points for both but it was shared between us both.
I added windows which were missing from the room as well which cost another 5 points on me. Then I went to my room and did the same. 25 points remaking the floors, walls and adding windows, then 30 points to get a new bed which looked much betters and less military like.
With the last remaining 30 points I upgraded the pc to something newer, 15 points, and upgrade the bookshelves to include books about mechanics and basic to advanced level programming with the other 15.
With my points capped I went to Sasha's room and added the windows, curtains and new floors for 25 of her points.
10 points for some toys which appeared in a box. 10 for new story books and study books up to middle school and 50 points that connects both my and her bookshelves into the game which allows me to see the books in a window, in game.
All this totaled 150 points.
Thinking about the extra points I shrugged it off, thinking it's best to save it for the future.
Oh, I did make sure to make the kitchen a bit bigger using another 20 points of hers and added a fridge. Though we don't need food, after spending 4 months in game without needing to eat, the need for it rose greatly.
I'm not some pro so I went for simple white rice, beans and some cooked chicken. Something we always ate.
I called Sasha who was covered in dirt outside. I made her take a bath before we ate.
The feeling of real food was nice and though the food was made by someone who doesn't cook much, it came out well enough.
The lack of taste stimulation left us sensitive so the taste appeared more but it was good all the same.
Happy finally getting some rest I turned the TV on. A notice appeared saying time is still warped and most of what we watch is from about a month ago.
It then began news, talk shows, and cartoons. We had a few channels to watch but most were for Sasha. Only news and talk shows were left for me and TNT so at least I could watch a movie or two while she plays or when she begins doing the homework I make for her.
Now that I have the resources, I can keep my promise to mom and dad and properly educate her.
We watch some cartoons together for a few hours before I leave her and enter her room. I grab several books on all elementary school subjects before taking them to my room.
I then lay them down on the desk and sat. I was surprised to see an option appear just like in the game.
Detected the presence of school work below your age grade. Due to having a younger sibling you have the option of quick learning this material and make a test or learn yourself and make a test.
If first option is done the system will do something known as cycle learning. This is where it will feel like you have gone through several classes with the material present while only several minutes have passed. The speed is much more rapid so more than three subjects are not advised.
To make the test, you have the option to using paper or the PC. With the PC you can print the test or you can give the test on the PC.
