Fresh Krab

"Fresh Krab" is an episode of The Game of Life that you are about to read. In fact you probably are already reading the episode, I never use this section of the page for anything. If you are still reading this, here is a fun fact: did you know that despite making up only 13% of the population

Plot
A ghost is in the SBFW household and can be heard laughing maniacally. The Winterfest tree is still up and he decides to take one of the presents for himself. Johnathon Dog sees this, runs out the back, and poops. Somehow the poop goes through the wall and can be seen next to Aidan’s bed. This annoys Aidan when he wakes up as he claims he “hates it here” because he hates when things are “messy/smelly.” Despite this, he decides to praise Johnathon anyway.

As he eats cereal, Aidan loses another 200 followers. (I had to go through the game to make sure I had the right save open and everything that happened last time wasn’t being repeated.) Aidan then gets told there’s a huge premiere for a new show on TV and that he should watch it to avoid getting spoilers from other sims. As Aidan is the only sim awake, he decides to quickly watch it before going to work.

The premiere surpasses all of Aidan’s expectations, especially the part where the lead character betrays her mother. Aidan then heads off to work where he is caught in a blizzard outside. He heads inside and grabs a coffee while spoiling everything that happened in the premiere to a nurse. Aidan then feels like he’s a “fool” and that the encounter was awkward. Despite this, the conversation continues and Aidan claims to be a criminal mastermind in the middle of it.

Aidan then realizes he’s at work and should probably do his job. He walks over to one of his patients and tries to get a tissue sample from him, however he fumbles and has to try again with more care. He gets another tissue sample but doesn’t end up analyzing it. Instead, Dr. Aidan decides to perform more examinations on his patient. The results of the examination seem valid but are too scientific for Aidan to understand.

Aidan gets a random text message from someone which says “do you have good intentions with me?” The only options are “Ok” or “No.” Aidan then goes to see another patient. He tries to get a tissue sample from them but he messes it up again and his work day then ends.

Back at home, Garfield is playing his own game, Garfield Kart, and thinks it’s detailed. Garfield is also sad because “someone close to him is suffering” and is also uncomfortable after seeing an “ugly” and “utterly repulsive” sim. Aidan wakes up from a brief nap and ends up spoiling the TV premiere to Aaron, which angers him. It then turns out Garfield, who was still playing Garfield Kart, doesn’t even like gaming.

For Aidan, the TV Season Premiere was awesome and he got to do everything he wanted to do. For Garfield, the premiere was awful as he didn’t get to partake in any of the traditions, implying he hasn’t even seen the premiere.

As mentioned in a previous episode, Mr. Krabs has returned to the Kong household but he lost his job while he was a ghost. It soon becomes clear that his job is not the only thing Mr. Krabs has lost, his kill count has also reset, and his reputation is completely clean. This is despite him having murdered several people, and still having the serial killer personality trait.

Mr. Krabs seems to be using his clean record to start being nicer to people, as he tells SpongeBob that he has a “really good voice” and that it’s “nice to hear it.” Mr. Krabs even tries to make things up with Funky Kong by telling him that he’s “so awesome.” After his interaction with Funky Kong, Mr. Krabs’ anxiety intensifies from being an introvert.

Mr. Krabs tries to have another conversation with Funky Kong by saying Funky has a really nice smile and he hopes he can smile more. Funky then heads into the kitchen where Mr. Krabs surprises him with a gift, a bike that Funky decides to ride around the house. Despite Mr. Krabs trying to be nice, he still manages to steal a bunch of speed from Funky. Mr. Krabs has little to no use for this and ends up snorting it.

Late that night, SpongeBob returns home from work, Mr. Krabs notices this and decides to have a talk with him. After the talk SpongeBob gets out his phone and quits his job. His reason for doing this soon becomes clear, as Mr. Krabs purchases a lot to open up…

THE KRUSTY KRAB!

After Mr. Krabs finishes building the Krusty Krab (let’s pretend he built it and I didn’t steal it from the gallery), he learns that he has 2 conditions called gassy belly and wiggly stomach, it is unknown how he got these conditions. Mr. Krabs then heads to bed and it turns out today is New Year’s Eve!

The household put some decorations up and start making some new year’s resolutions. April’s resolution is to improve her grades, and she already has a plan on how she can achieve this. Amara’s resolution is to lose some weight (I don’t really think she needs to but ok). SpongeBob’s resolution is to get fit (there was nothing else for him). Adrienne’s resolution is also to lose weight, and Funky and Mr. Krabs’ resolutions are to find love. There was nothing else for Mr. Krabs, I don’t think he even likes anybody.

SpongeBob tries to play piano. He isn’t very good and it ends up fraying April’s nerves. Mr. Krabs tries to purchase something from a vending machine but the items he purchased gets stuck in the machine. He shakes the machine but even that doesn’t work, this really angers Mr. Krabs. He tries one last time and finally manages to get the items from the machine.

April calls several people that she knows has ties to the drug industry over to the house, but it’s not clear why. Eventually she invites one person over and buys a bottle of adderall from them so she can focus while doing her homework for school. Funky also gets a call from one of his customers asking for amphetamine but before Funky is able to complete the deal, the New Year’s countdown appears on TV. They all celebrate the new year and fireworks come out from the TV, that’s not a good sign.

Funky tries to complete the drug deal again when suddenly he ends up in a fight with the customer. It then becomes clear the customer attempted to steal from Funky. Funky appears to win the fight and the customer walks away from the house. Funky tries to remove her from his customer list but is unable to find a way to do so. As New Year’s is now over, Spring has started.

Mr. Krabs is in the middle of doing something when he suddenly runs out the house, and starts throwing up in the outside toilet. This is due to the stomach conditions mentioned earlier. After throwing up, he washes his hands, and quickly starts cleaning everything up. Mr. Krabs also says that he had a dream last night about becoming a reality star.

Mr. Krabs then goes to the Krusty Krab with SpongeBob, Funky Kong, and Patrick Star also happens to be there for some reason, he wasn’t even in the game before.

Funky Kong originally didn’t want to go because he still has some problems with Mr. Krabs, but decided to go after realizing he could use Mr. Krabs’ business to advertise his own.

At the Krusty Krab, there are several celebrities hanging out. Funky starts talking to one of them hoping he can get a new customer, but while he’s talking to her, she coughs and Funky ends up getting a sore throat and having to go to the hospital… THIS WOMAN IS SPREADING COVID AT THE KRUSTY KRAB!

Mr. Krabs tries to paint a good image of the Krusty Krab by welcoming everyone to the restaurant, everyone seems to appreciate it. He then goes into the bathroom of his own restaurant and snorts drugs at the sink. Nobody seems to notice this, even though I’m pretty sure he did this twice while he was there.

While the celebrities have been hanging out for a few hours, Mr. Krabs eventually notices that nobody has ordered anything. He then realizes he forgot to make an actual menu for the restaurant, after he makes an actual menu… Nobody orders anything. SpongeBob also catches covid from the celebrity and has to go to the hospital.

It should also be noted that the chef Mr. Krabs hired is some sort of clone of SpongeBob and the cashier is also a clone of Squidward.

Eventually Mr. Krabs closes the Krusty Krab for the day having made no money and getting no customers apparently. Shortly after going back to the house he throws up in the outside toilet, I still don’t know why he has these problems.

The next day, April goes to school after having taken Adderall. This improves her focus in class and she very quickly manages to complete her resolution of becoming a better student. When she gets home her grades have increased and she is now a D student.

At around 5 PM that day, Mr. Krabs (who is doing fitness despite hating fitness) realizes he forgot to open the Krusty Krab but manages to open it from home. I am guessing he called the SpongeBob and Squidward clones?

Next time on The Game of Life, a new household is moving in…
