100 Generations Legacy Challenge Episode 1

March 20, 2020

It was a windy morning in the cold start of winter. The high winds streamed through Ryleah Valencia’s hair as she looked upon her empty lot. Her home away from home now. She liked it here. She gets her own private beach and lives in a town full of cute stray pets! Maybe she’l adopt one of them. She sigh when she felt a touch of snow on her cheek and looked up into the cloudy sky. Soft snow drifted down as if welcoming her to her new home. With not a simoleon in her pocket her empty lot will remain empty for now.

“Well, I guess I must find myself a job” She mutters to herself.

She googled for hiring position on her phone and luckily enough found a job right away! They hired her on the spot! She was quite happy, considering she will make 31 simoleons an hour. She receives an email that details what she will do in her new tech guru career. She looks at the assignments.

“I get to play video games for work? This is awesome!” She laughs and quickly enters a mobile phone game. She played for a couple minutes before she got bored of the repetitive game. She looks at her new schedule for work.

“Two days! I have to wait two days to make some simoleons! That’s crazy! Where am I going to sleep and take care of myself? I’m basically homeless!” She exclaims to her phone.

Well looks like I need some quick simoleons. I might as well check the odd jobs.

She scrolls through her phone again and see two potential odd jobs.

Oh bonsai cutting? I can totally do that! Oh I only need level 1 skill in gardening. I can do it without the experience! How hard can it be? It’s 23 simoleons an hour too! I’ll make enough for a tent hopefully!

She accepts the job. She has 30 minutes until her odd job begins. During this time she plays on her phone on her empty lot.

Her phone alarm rings letting her know its time for work and she is off to her first odd job!

***

And she’s back!

So soon.

Too soon.

Ryleah looks down in near defeat, almost as if she were going to cry.

Well that was so embarrassing! My bonsai was so bad that the client said she will have nightmares! Who knew it would be so hard! Well note to self, make sure I have the requirements for the job! Well at least I made 17 simoleons from that harrowing experience.

I need to find another odd job.

Ryleah went back into search for a new odd job.

“Oh this one lets me go to Sulani for free! Wow, I can’t wait to go!” She quickly accepts the capturing of frogs odd job.

She books her flight to Sulani and off she goes on a new adventure.

***

“Whoa! Sulani is beautiful!” she exclaims once she arrived.

Now time to catch me some frogs! She looks around bemused.

So, where do I catch frogs? She looks at the ad in the odd jobs section again. She looks around and spots the water fall from across the small body of water.

Oh it says they are near the water fall! Okay I’ll change into my swimsuit then head over.

Ryleah changes and runs into the water.  The water feels so refreshing compare to the hot air. She swims to the water and notices all the little frogs around. She attempts to catch them one by one until she has capture all the frogs she needed. She looks and her phone and sends a picture of the frogs to the client. The client loves it and pays her the simoleons and the client gave her a 9 simoleons tip!

She hops around in excitement now that she has simoleons in her pocket.

She realizes that she has some needs to attend to and quickly locates the nearest outhouse.

After she is refresh she contemplates on what to do next.

Hmm… you know…. Writing books makes a lot of money and you get royalties for it every day! Maybe I should go to Willow Creek and write a book – and to look for cute nerdy man. A girl has needs to you know!

And so she books a flight to Willow Creek.

***

Ryleah arrives at Willow Creek Archives. She walks in and admire some clearly taken man sitting at a computer and takes the computer across from him. She starts so idle chit chat but it was clearly a bust when he mention that he was married and left the computer station of another one.

She moped but began working on her new children’s book. She called it: Never Eat Your Pet Turtle and Other Advise for Kindergarten. She thinks her book will make so much simoleons, but with a title like that… well… we all know it’s doomed to fail.

As she happily works and cute nerdy boy enters the library. He is definitely her type. He sits next to her table and plays chess by himself. She strikes up a polite introduction. He gave a nice reply back! Awesome! Score for Ryleah!

I should talk to him about how cold it’s gotten. People talk about the weather all the time!

“It’s gotten cold lately! I can feel it in my bones! What about you?”

He nodded and gave a slight smile.

“Oh did you know that Judith is here! I’m a huge fan of hers!” Ryleah changes the subject. 

He replied on his positive thoughts of Judith Ward.

“You know, I think you are a great guy! It’s so nice that I met you!” Ryleah compliments him.

She continues to work on her story and they chatted some more. He gets up to leave.

“Wait!” Ryleah calls out. He stops and comes back to her table.

“Are you by any chance single?” She touches his hand and looks up to him.

“I’m sorry but I’m marry to my beautiful wife Mele.”

Ryleah felt disappointment rush through her.

“No It’s okay! I give you the best regards to your wife” She smiles. He turns to leave and she sulks back into her book.

Soon after another man sits beside her.

She turns to him and introduces herself.

Oh my! He is so handsome. Oh I hope you are single! Ryleah exclaims as she gave him a smile.

They sit and talk for a while, she turns off her computer, the book all done. She flirts with him and he is accepting all her advances. As time goes by the sun slowly starts to set.

“Hey, do you want to go star gazing with me?” Ryleah asks Cameron bravely. He smiles and nods. They head out and lay on the sidewalk in front of the library.

They look at the stars, point at a constellation, talk and laugh in between each other. Ryleah couldn’t find this to be any more romantic.

After Cameron help her back to her feet. She jump and could contain her giggle. Cameron is just so dang cute. They bid farewell.

Ryleah stands on the side of the sidewalk and now in search of a place to shower and sleep. She decides to head to the pool in Windenburg!
