BACK TO WORK

"BACK TO WORK" is the fourteenth episode of The Game of Life.

Plot
Previously…

> A new restaurant has opened up in Newcrest. The Kong Household decide to have a meal there really early in the morning.

> The restaurant claims to be a formal place so Adrienne, April, and Amara dress up appropriately for the occasion. But when they walk in they are shocked to find out that one of the restaurant’s waiters is Wario.

> Funky decides to stay at the clothes shop and finds himself attracted to one of the customers.

> The rest of the household are asleep except for Amara who is hungry and decides to order a pizza at 3 in the morning. She then gets a text message from a vampire claiming that she has a nice neck. The vampire then knocks at the door and she invites them in to eat pizza with her, which he does. SpongeBob wakes up and he seems annoyed that Amara has let a vampire in the house but Amara doesn’t seem to care.

While the household is eating pizza with Mr. Krabs’ ghost, it’s revealed that today is love day. Both April and Amara go to school and start flirting with their classmates. Both constantly get caught flirting in class, and instead of sending people love letters, April sends them funny letters resulting in people thinking April is the funniest kid in class. Amara on the other hand spent most of the school day working up the nerve to ask a special sim to a party but it was worth it!

Meanwhile Adrienne falls asleep on the couch but Hallie is still hungry, so she steals a slice from the pizza from earlier.

When Adrienne wakes up from her nap she goes to the new restaurant. She starts a conversation with a restaurant critic (Darrin Santos) and quickly starts flirting with him, despite being married to SpongeBob.

Eventually Darrin leaves the restaurant. Adrienne then heads back home and invites him to hang out with her, he agrees. When he arrives Adrienne gives him some roses for love day, again despite being married to SpongeBob. Darrin doesn’t appreciate the gift but Adrienne continues flirting with him.

Adrienne then takes Darrin upstairs to her and SpongeBob’s bedroom where she kisses him. Then immediately afterwards Adrienne and Darrin woohoo in the bed (Darrin uses a condom). Meanwhile Funky wakes up from “hot ‘n’ heavy dreaming” about the woman he met in the last episode, it leaves him wondering how someone so perfect could exist.

SpongeBob then comes home from work and Darrin leaves the house, SpongeBob doesn’t question it. Adrienne is also the only person in the household who has completed the love day tasks.

Funky decides that it’s time he expands his business, he buys a lot across the street from the restaurant and builds a retail store… The store sells bags of weed, amphetamine, cocaine bricks, bongs, and more. Funky hires an employee and also makes it so clothing in the store is optional. This soon proves to be a bad idea, as Funky himself takes off his costume and several customers enter the store completely naked. The employee Funky hired however, keeps her clothes on.

After Funky spends hours doing exercises behind the counter (still completely naked), eventually customers start purchasing the products (including an MDMA pill bottle that sells for 562 dollars).

Despite the fact the shop is full of naked people buying drugs, no cops arrive and Funky closes the shop at 3 PM and even tries to launder some money.

At home, a girl (Rachael) invites Amara to a romance festival. (I’m guessing Rachael is the special sim from earlier?) She accepts the invite but when she goes to the festival it is pouring with rain and they decide to go inside. Despite this, several other people at the festival continue making out with their partners in the rain.

The only thing you need to do at the festival is kiss someone. Amara spends hours flirting with Rachael, at one point Rachael responds angrily and Amara learns that Rachael has the mean trait. Eventually they finally kiss and Amara goes up to a stage and starts singing, possibly bragging about the kiss?

The next day Funky goes to his store to restock the drugs when suddenly the SWAT team shows up (one officer has a broken face for some reason). All the drugs get taken away and a naked Funky gets arrested.

Despite being in police custody Funky still manages to message SpongeBob telling him to open the store, under the impression the naked customers may annoy the cops who are still on the premises. A few hours later Funky is released from prison and walks home completely naked in the middle of a thunderstorm.

At home April signs up for a Switch account (which is a streaming site that is completely unrelated to Twitch) and streams herself playing Tetris to loads of viewers who want to see more. She then buys a drone so she can stream herself doing anything. She starts a stream on the drone and streams herself eating food.

When she’s streaming herself eating food she gets a donation that says “don’t let anyone get you down, you’re amazing April!” She continues streaming herself throughout the night doing normal tasks like making coffee.

Over at the SBFW household Aidan decides to get a job as a medical intern and Garfield gets a job as a political activist campaigning for “simoleons for everyone.” He starts advertising his campaign on Switch and someone in the chat says “OMG Hi notice me Garfield!!!”

Aidan and Garfield then get invited to the humour and hijinks festival (don’t ask me what this is or what you are supposed to do in it because I don’t remember). At the festival Aidan eats spicy food with chopsticks, but Aidan isn’t used to eating spicy food, like Pho. He also has trouble using chopsticks and should eat more chopsticks foods, like Pho.

Aidan didn’t enjoy how the spicy food burns and it makes him uncomfortable. His stomach starts making gurgling sounds and he runs to use the bathroom, but he pees himself on the way…

While all this is going on Garfield starts a political protest in the middle of the festival and another sim joins him. The jokesters won the festival apparently and some fireworks go off, yay.

The next day Aidan goes to the hospital for his new job. The first thing he does at work is run on the treadmill… Then he makes some coffee and chats with his colleagues. While chatting a patient walks up to reception and it happens to be a troublemaking child (Darwin) Aidan has had problems with before, Aidan avoids him.

Aidan then does some work and delivers food to some patients. He’s even allowed to give one patient a vaccination. After the vaccination his first shift has ended and he has made $180 today.

Back at home Garfield gets a Switch message from someone asking Garfield if he can send nudes… He decides to make his nudes public, he streams himself having a shower. Immediately afterwards he gets banned from Switch for two days...
