Day 14

Happy Friday! Today we had such beautiful weather today it's almost all I want to talk about. However . . . .

A lot happened today! In the morning we were joined by Ewan's dad for singing as we went through a slew of songs at lightning speed! We sang Baby Shark, Jeep Song, Llama Song, and nearly ultimate jibberish! Some important announcements that needed to be made before the Homesteaders ran off to collect their Peeps included:
  • Community College Courses: One was being conducted today by the Sensei (Ewan's dad) on mastering the recorder. More are being held next week including Monday Karate, Tuesday Thumb Piano Building, and Wednesday Reptile Class. Sign up ASAP!
  • Houses on Land: We are flying through house construction, which is nice because there are so many other awesome things to do that we hate getting bogged down in this step. All houses were due on the land by the end of our morning block, and we ACHIEVED! New Village record.
  • Recorder class
  • Property Maps: Peeps also need a clear map of their land including, other properties that touch borders, home location, border, and other important features. This is not only so Peeps don't get lost, but so parents don't get lost on Mini-Fair day either!

Wes was hired for some construction help
After talking with our small groups who were all very anxious to get to their jobs, we got moving. Up in the peep loft we had some shift complications at the radio station where last-minute fill-ins were required. This is a good demonstration of why it is important to always have an up-to-date shift schedule. Guntha ended up filling in, even though he had been fired Alex as the newest oligarch felt it was within her power to rehire him for this purpose. Unfortunately that wasn't enough because upon a period of radio silence, Morgan promptly fired him (the manager hates silence!). It is unclear if he has an opportunity to be rehired again, again. Dark Elf Decor has really kicked off, opened a bank account, and was promptly taxed by the Feds along with all other businesses because it's TAX DAY! Reginald has a blast going through and taxing all of the businesses' hard earned money. 

As we ate snack in the fairly mild weather, we decided to once again part ways. Half of us would go swim, and half would remain to play Noodle Flibbit. Lunch was had, and it was back to work. 

The second work block started off with an immediate meeting at the bank. Luna felt compelled to speak to her employees about the importance of being a bank clerk. Peeps trust these bankers with keeping their money safe, and keeping their accounts accurate. The manager felt this has not been happening and made sure her staff knew that this wasn't to be taken lightly. 

Getting the word out with a news article: "New Bank!"
By the way, Zeus opened a new bank. While this didn't sit well with the bank, they accepted the competition. The oligarchy gave Zeus some stipulations in order to open his bank, to which Zeus promptly disagreed and opened it anyways. Business for the Leaflet Bank (permanent name pending) has appeared to start off well with multiple accounts, including Dark Elf Decor, withdrawing from the Fed bank in favor of Zeus. Interesting.

Standing Ovation! It's charades in reverse.
Campfire Show: This afternoon, what appeared to be a bleak showing of one performance turned into a slew of entertainers itching to get a chance in the spotlight. First up was a story by Lily, performed by Lily and Paisley (to be continued . . .). Next, we had card tricks from Jack L, pretty impressive stuff. Jaimee did some various tricks of juggling and body contorting. Then, the Mind Battle happened. Cedric was just doing some laundry, when William busts through the door demanding a battle. Action ensues as Jack appears to come to the rescue of William only to challenge both battlers. Finally, Victoria comes back from the dead and it's a 3v1 battle, then 2v2, then 4v0. Not sure there were any survivors. Our last game was Standing Ovation. Great group game, easy to play, unless you're "it", then it feels impossible. But it's fun to watch!
