We start with the wedding night. Where Bruce decides to sleep in the girls' room.... by himself. Even though I set him to sleep in the master bedroom. Sigh.

Also, since I didn't introduce Bruce to you last post, I'll do that here.

With the insider trait, he should be happy to be part of our Mischief Inc. club. He, obviously, won't be getting very far with his Joke Star aspiration, and the Slob might be annoying, but I liked his looks so much I'll deal with it.

First thing in the morning, he jumps on the computer. I decide he's going to use his one action to get a job, so I go and roll for a job for him...

Well.. he won't be getting far with that career without being able to do anything on his own, but at least it'll be some income.

He doesn't look happy with joining the work force.

He then spends the rest of the morning following poor Becca around while she works around the house - because there's always stuff to do around an ISBI house.

Spoiler: this is one of the last times this post you see him sleeping. (foreshadowing)

I take them to a miserably rainy Humor and Hijinks fest.. and with them being miserable, they only tie. The first time I haven't actually won at that fest in quite a while. We still get a little bit in the way of funds, though, which is okay by me.. and they come home soaked and filthy.

Oh, Becca. *frown* -5

Thanks Dominic? (Also: Why is Alan eating in the boys' bedroom? Who knows.)

Socializing with his Dad-in-law while watching some TV and eating. You know, Sims multitasking.

Becca hiring some services. We'll have to pay for them, but that's ok. Less work for her, at least.

Really? Right in the laundry pile?? Poor Becca's not going to be happy to come home from work tonight.

Grim complaining about the mess. Which I thought was hilarious.

Meeting the brother-in-law.

Hi Ashley! Thanks for cleaning!

Finding new club members. This fella looked like he might want to make some Mischief, so we invited him. Now we just need one more club member (and the points to get one) to have the eight members for her aspiration.

The next club gathering. At some random bar.

Then, while chatting to other people.. I get a notice that Bruce is getting into his first fight. LOL .. well okay.

Then some chick wants to get angry at Becca's (admittedly) bad jokes... and everyone's already watching.

She throws the first punch, but Becca is certainly willing to hit back. Oh, and if you're paying attention, you see our sister is also in the club. Hey, she asked!

Love Day! These guys are so cute together.

And here's where my nightmare begins. -5 He got OUT of bed to pass out.

-5 ... sigh. Maybe the computer just kept him from getting to bed?

No, it was definitely not the computer this time. -5 ... oh, and welcome back Alan.

Yes, if you're looking closely, there's laundry on the floor. Why they keep ending up on the floor I don't know. It's not like the hampers are full??

Well, Bruce, that looks unpleasant. Your wife tries to woohoo you to sleep.. and you walk around the bed to pass out in the laundry. -5

-5 ... At this point I'm starting to wonder if there's some glitch, I try resetting him.. that doesn't work. He won't nap, he won't sleep.. he just gets up from the floor, uses up his energy, and the passes out again.

See? ... Using up the energy. By playing basketball in the garden?

-5 ... WHAT IS IT WITH THE LAUNDRY!!?!? .. Oh yeah, Bruce is sleeping again. On the floor.

.... *crying* (And no I'm not laughing at this point.) -5

So, I try making coffee. Bruce isn't interested. -5

Another computer vs. sleep issue. Must be. *nod* -5 (I relate, just for info. The computer is usually where I'm at when I can't sleep!)

Angela Pleasant shows up at our door. I wonder in my head whether it's because her sister is in our club, and she's offended by it. Just to be safe, I pickpocket her and tick her off. She looks appropriately offended, don't you think?

Wait... he's actually drinking coffee??

I bought a new bed... and he immediately goes to bed. What the heck? Was the bed bugged?!!  *shrug* ... then why didn't he use any of the OTHER beds in the house. Or the couches?? ARGH... At least he's sleeping. At this point, I'm done with this save. I wait until Becca comes home, send her to bed, too... and quickly save.... and exit. *cringe* Now it's time to count up points. -50 from passing out. 45 of those from Bruce alone. I'm starting to regret this marriage. LOL.
