08 – Douglas: Round 1

Using a combination of postal correspondence, and blind luck, Fletcher was able to purchase, using Mama Douglas’ inheritance, 8 Prosperity Road.

With one large communal bedroom, things are not going to be easy.

Basement Living Room with separate door.

Fletcher has to decide between the few thousand Simoleons left from the household funds and some standard of living. He decides he needs help and gets on the phone. Accidentally hiring a Maid rather than a Nanny! In a panic he cancels the Maid and calls for the correct service.

Something has gone wrong and Fletcher has hired not one but two Nannies! Elise Knight & Jill Collins. Nothing he can do about it now and he heads outside to greet Dick Grayson before heading of to school with Jordan and Kathryn.

With two Nannies on hand, the toddlers are being well looked after.

With his Fun levels low after school, Fletcher plays a little SSX 3 before completing his homework.

The kids arrive home not long after, with Kathryn bringing Emelia Bradshaw home with her.

The kids bond over some SSX 3.

Fletcher looks in the local newspaper to find work. Opting for a role as a File Clerk in the Law career.

With the kids doing their homework, Fletcher keeps Emelia entertained with some more SSX 3.

Both nannies are still here and things are getting a little chaotic.

Things have finally settled down and Fletcher begins teaching Kelly-Anne to Walk.

Before making a start on the mess left behind by the nannies.

The following morning, Fletcher, Jordan and Kathryn leave for school and the toddlers are asleep.

So Elise simply settles down to watch TV.

But soon has her hands full.

Things are going from bad to worse.

Her solution? MOAR Bottles!

Fletcher’s needs are bottoming out left and right so he’s directed to try to build Comfort and Fun by playing Video Games.

But, exhausted, sadly passes out on the floor before getting to his bed.

Elise actually stopped making food and simply stared for the better part of an hour.

Before promptly pissing herself just inches from an empty Toilet.

The piss-soaked nanny, rather than making any attempt to clean up, simply leaves.

Poor Jordan has been running after the world’s worst nanny all evening and passes out from exhaustion.

A few hours on the floor have raised his Energy needs a little but with his Comfort and Fun badly depleted, Jordan is directed to play some Video Games.

The following morning, Fletcher has managed to raise his needs enough to work through the fall out of the world’s worst nanny. At some point Kathryn baked a cake in her, surprisingly functional, toy oven, though it now resembles little more than a lump of charcoal.

The kids head to school as Fletcher decides to skip in order to try to get the house in order. The utterly shameless Elise Knight returns. No, Fletcher, I have no idea why she’s getting yet another bottle either.

Fletcher has had a warning about skipping school.

Kathryn on the other hand, continues to be popular and brings another school friend, Arya Stark, home.

The reign of the world’s worst nanny thankfully comes to an end for the day, though she made a point of waking all 3 sleeping toddlers before leaving…

Unfortunately Fletcher’s employer doesn’t take kindly to his skipping work on only his second day and fires him.

Things must go on and Fletcher attempts, and fails, to make some dinner for everyone.

Fletcher tucks in regardless but walk by Armando Cox isn’t so keen.

Jordan tries to help by doing some dishes.

The toddlers grow up in less than 24 hours and none of them have been taught to Talk, Use the Potty or Walk. Thank you Elise Knight, you bone-idle, incontinent, lazy, piss-soaked, useless excuse for a nanny, you nearly ruined the lives of these 6 poor innocents…
