Investigator/cases: Difference between revisions

:''It's often said that you shouldn't keep a garden gnome if you have soft-toed shoes. The things are so kickable. Unfortunately, <Sim 1> wants me to track down who is kicking a gnome. <Sim 1>'s gnome. I should ask <Sim 1> who would do such a thing.''

:''<Sim 1> is fairly convinced the next door neighbor, <Sim 2>, is guilty of the gnome kicking. I should rummage through <Sim 2>'s garbage to see if I can find any evidence of wrong doing. Maybe then <Sim 1> can bring the gnome out of hiding.''

:''Why would <Sim 2> own shoes with toes so mangled, presumably from kicking a gnome, that they needed to be thrown away? Very peculiar. I should speak to <Sim 2> about the shoes.''

:''<Sim 2> confessed to kicking the gnome and to having pronounced anger management issues. <Sim 2> agreed to stop kicking the gnome and to seek counciling. I should tell <Sim 1> the good news.''

:''<Sim 1> was relieved to hear about an end to the gnome abuse. The poor battered gnome will soon be comfortable in the sun once again. As for me, I earned my pay and solved the case.''

:''Families can be so ridiculous at times. I'm not sure why I've been called in to find some missing mouthwash. Seems to me a therapist should have been called instead. I should speak to <Sim 1> to get to the bottom of things.''

:''<Sim 1> firmly believes a fellow member took the mouthwash to get even for when <Sim 1> stole a ham sandwich. If you ask me, vengeance for a stolen sandwich would be more severe. I should ask <Sim 2> about the mouthwash, or bribe them if it comes down to it.''

:''I'm so glad I've been brought in to solve petty household rivalries. It appears, as expected, <Sim 2> stole the mouthwash. Luckily I can return it to <Sim 1> for my hopeful reward.''

:''<Sim 1> sure was pleased to get back the mouthwash. Talk about your low expectations for life! Thankfully, I got paid a little. Case closed.''

:''<Sim 1> wants me to dig up some low level dirt on someone. Before I get too deep into the case I should check with <Sim 1> for details that we cannot discuss over the phone.''

:''<Sim 1> is convinced <Sim 2> works for a small criminal organization in town. Evidence is required before <Sim 1> can conduct a citizen's arrest. I should inspect the mail and search through the garbage at <Sim 2>'s home.''

:''Ah ha! Based on the notes in this discarded diary, <Sim 2> is an aspiring crony in the local crime syndicate. <Sim 1> is quite the observant local snoop... and probably a creepy neighbor. I should report back to <Sim 1> with this information.''

:''<Sim 1> squealed with delight when I presented the evidence. I've never seen somebody so happy to witness criminal activity. Some people just don't get enough excitement during their normal day to day. Case closed.''
