Gosh ive avoided playing this household all round, simply because i had no idea how on earth i was going to manage it.

Neve is a Single mum to Valdemars child, and unlike Brittney Baker Neve is not going to be supported by the baby’s father, nor does she have the support of “family” even fictional ones in Brittney case.

I’ve decided that Neve’s sudden departure from the Beaumont household and the rumours that are bound to surround that are enough the effectively shove poor neve out of her merchant standing headlong into the peasant class, after all i dont expect Valdemar is above treating her like dirt and taxing her as such.

However Neve now being peasant class means that she can utilize the nanny making working and paying tax’s difficult, hence my indecision as to how this was going to be managed.

Sadly there are not many option for poor neve, having bought the necessity with the pathetic amount of money avril bought her, she doesn’t have much money left, i have managed to get a kitten from the adoption agency (she doesn’t have any friends, with a spare cat) however it will take a full year for the fuzzy ball of fluff to grow up and be able to get a pet job.

Unfortunately this leaves only one option, yup you got it prostitution… an unfortunate means to an end for far to many unmarried women in medieval times, im hoping this whore house will however only be temporary.

I normally run the whore house using the ticket machine and this time is no different unfortunately when i set up the house i didn’t take this into consideration, nor did i buy neve a double bed for the act, scouring around i sold her table, chair, single bed, spare counter, the poor kittens bed and the sink in order the buy the ticket machine and a double bed… Geeze things are bad …

I then opened up her house as a business, set the “visitor controller hack” i have to disallow females, and used the ACR to re-set some of the normal acceptance rules and of course pregnancy chance to match what i have over at the normal whorehouse. I only hope i can pull this off haha.

—————————————

Of course the fate of the Grimstead god’s is against poor neve, stupid game she got pregnant on her very first whoohoo … poo… Oh well i guess i knew it was bound to happen eventually, then to add insult to injury the poor girl had twins, a girl i called Bethan, and a boy Robin.

I have to say looking after the three babys was a complete nightmare poor Neve spent the rest of the year somewhere between starvation, Exhaustion and complete Insanity.

However eventually the kitten i had bought her grew up into a cat and i got it a job in the service career, and with the money Neve had saved from the 3 Business stars (which where all spent on cash lumpsums) she was able to close her brothel.

Amy the cat isn’t earning enough to support Neve right now but im hoping to survive with her savings long enough to train it and get it a promotion or two, if of course she ever finds time.

————————————–

Towards the end of the round with threats of the social worker ever looming in Neve’s chaotic life i discovered one of her last whoohooo’s as a whore had gotten her pregnant .. DOH.

Realizing there is no way on earth Neve can cope with another baby in the house i debate sending the poor little thing to the monastery when it arrives (as if they haven’t got enough babys to deal with haha)

However instead i happen upon an idea !!!

Chances are the baby is Brother Mathews Grimsteads local Priest, as he was the last person to visit Neve as a whore, now when they where together i noticed they did get along VERY well.

Brother Mathew Aged to Elder this round, and his apprentice Mathew Junior (an orphan from way back when) has just aged to teen, my thought is that i have a spare church which i built on the Beaumont estate which is currently standing empty.

Now even though Neve is just 21 when your desperate you’ll look for solutions anywhere, and Brother Mathew has served his church well all these years without a wife.

So The plan … Get brother Mathew and neve together and married and move them into the empty Baeumont church, leaving Mathew junior to run the one on the Hamdun estate.

Granted neither Neve or Brother Mathew will know that the baby she’s carrying is actually his so it will have to wait till it’s born, and it will take her old name of Gardener.

However marrying them will give Brother Mathew a chance of a legitimate child allowing me to carrying on the “Goodwill” name in grimstead and gets Neve out of a terrible bind, as 2 people are far more likey to be able to cope with all the babys than 1.

Solution ….. Yay me… just as i thought i was going crazy…

Soooo in the last couple of days playing her lot i spend time running around like a nutter, trying to prevent poor Neve Miscarrying, trying not to let the social worker take the babys …. While trying to hook her up with the local priest … Sheeesh.
