      April moved into her childhood home in Strangerville. It was nostalgic being back. She made a few changes to the house, mostly updating her old bedroom and turning it into a guest bedroom.

      She got some medals from her officer academy graduation and earned the rank of Captain. General Grunt had told her that she would now be reporting directly to him. She was both excited and nervous to finally be able to understand what was going on around Strangerville.
      09-13-23-7-09-40-PM-Copy.png

      But first, she would get started on some more training.
      09-13-23-7-08-52-PM-Copy.png

      Since she didn't need to meet with the General until later, she headed to the bar to meet some co-workers and ask around for some information. General Grunt may be filling her in on some things, but she was still determined to learn as much as she could.
      09-13-23-7-15-30-PM-Copy.png

      She met a stern Major who said that he may know something, but he completely refused to tell her anything and reprimanded her for asking questions.
      09-13-23-7-12-35-PM.png

      The general was there to meet her when she showed up to the military base. He told her he would give her her first assignment in his office.
      09-13-23-7-21-56-PM-Copy.png

      "You're a commissioned officer now, Captain Fogel," he said as they sat down, "and as such it is your responsibility to manage, problem solve, and lead the soldiers under your command. You will be receiving your orders from me, and you will delegate tasks to the soldiers in your company. Got it?"

      09-13-23-7-25-23-PM-Copy.png

      "Yes, General."

      "However," he continued, "the missions I am assigning you are top-secret. You will tell no one about them."

      "Understood, sir." She was finally going to get some information.

      "Now, I can't give you much information right now, but I will answer the question you asked me last time concerning the origin of that plant. The answer is...we don't quite know exactly. It does seem to have alien origins, but we aren't certain it's from Sixam. However, even though it is dormant, it seems to be connected somehow to the disappearances. Though there aren't any of those plants around town, a new one pops up near the lab every time someone has been reported missing."

      "Why would that be?" she asked him.

      "We don't know, but I'm afraid that's all I can tell you for now. The first thing we need before I can tell you more is information on the people who are going missing. I need you to plant 10 bugs on ordinary civilians around town and deliver the audio recordings to me. This could also help protect those civilians, as we'll have more eyes, or should I say, ears on them."

      She hesitated, burning to ask questions, but instead replied, "Yes, sir."

      He folded his hands and sat back, as if the conversation was over. "Good. Then we will talk some more once you've delivered those recordings. Now, let me show you around the base, Captain."

      "Thank you, General."

      He showed her another lab on the base that she could use, should it prove useful for her investigation. There was definitely some interesting stuff in here.
      09-13-23-7-27-24-PM-Copy.png

      'What is this thing,'       she wondered.
      09-13-23-7-28-38-PM-Copy.png

      On her way home she stopped by Marci's house, even though she knew it was pointless. There was still no one home.
      09-13-23-7-47-02-PM-Copy.png

      It was true what the General had said though. Those plants were only at the secret lab. She had seen them last time she was there. There was nothing in town though.
      09-13-23-7-47-47-PM-Copy.png

      Having dinner at home was a little lonely with no one around to fill the living room and hallways. Nothing like at her family home.
      09-13-23-7-44-54-PM-Copy.png
      09-13-23-7-45-27-PM-Copy.png

      Notes:
      My military knowledge is very limited, but I will do my best. :D

      Also, in the game she is a "Lacking Corporal" which is level 3, so for story sake, I gave her the level 3 rank of an officer in the army, which is Captain.

      They moved to a new house in the Bramblewood, so things may look different.
      09-20-23-8-06-17-PM.png

      I never had a problem with horses coming in the house before. I guess they don't have enough space. :D

      Oh, hey there, Ducky.
      Fertilizing these crops and hoping at least one of them will come out perfect. She's making good progress on her aspiration.
      09-20-23-9-48-04-PM.png

      She looks very determined.
      09-20-23-9-49-55-PM.png

      Here's a pic of the house. I found it on the gallery and added the barn for the horses.
      09-20-23-9-50-31-PM.png

      Steve is...not making much progress, but he's having fun? Except he really hates his job.

      The Creature Keeper was not home, unfortunately.

      She's obsessed with cross-stitching.

      @Belalucina , awesome updates <3 I keep my horses locked in paddocks, those do not roam free in here irl, and most certainly not inside houses :D

      I had great time at cabin, going again for Mon-Fri :)

      @Ellupelluellu it is weird that they float. I guess it isn't that strange to ride without them. Just the way they hold their feet looks like there should be something there.

      I moved Steve and the two horses out and he quit his job (he was miserable as an astronaut) and they are doing nothing but training in Chestnut Ridge. I'll move Steve back in once he finishes this aspiration. I am SO CLOSE.

      I had to make a kitchen using the new chef stuff pack and of course mixed in some Realm of Magic things in there as well.

      Here's the progress so far on the house and the other half of the kitchen:
      Most of the downstairs is just kitchen lol.
      09-28-23-8-58-00-PM.png

      Of course June will have to have a little chef side hustle.

      They are all moved into Glimmerbrook. June met Vivi, a spellcaster I made.
      Ugh, teenagers. Not excited about moving I guess.
      09-29-23-8-15-28-PM.png

      Here comes the welcome wagon.
      09-30-23-9-10-33-PM.png

      Riley was part of the welcome wagon as well since he lives in Glimmerbrook with Gemma. I don't think June has interacted with him since they broke up forever ago.

      Darrel decided he should wear a towel...
      09-30-23-9-24-24-PM.png

      Also decided to try out the waffle maker after everyone went home.
      09-30-23-9-28-27-PM.png

      What is that outside the window? A ghost?
      09-30-23-9-28-33-PM.png

      Probably nothing...at least the waffle iron works.

      Put in a guest room so April has somewhere to sleep when she comes home.

      What is that plant doing there? Lol.
