Day One - and the Days Preceding

I will be posting a log of my tamagotchi(s) here. Mostly it will be for my own benefit, but it would be a pleasure to see other people enjoying this too.

A few days ago, I put a fresh battery in my version 6 (a Music Star). It hatched into a girl, which I named Pip, and received the usual gift of 3000gp and a panda and a guitar for toy and instrument, respectively. After an hour, it turned into a Tamatchi - the 'bad care' toddler - for some reason. I was sure I took really good care of it. Maybe I was playing games with it when it beeped for attention or something?

Unfortunately, when Pip evolved it was eight at night, so she went to sleep straight away instead of letting me play with her. I tried waking her up because she had a happy heart depleted but she just got cross with me and didn't let me play a game or feed her. To wake up a Music Star, you press the C button (that is, the one on the far right) and select yes when it asks you whether or not to wake. This isn't really a recommended thing, though, because waking your tama doesn't do anything apart from making its stress levels rocket.

The next day she woke at some unreasonable time. I think it was seven o' clock. Seven o' clock in the morning. Luckily for me, in the shop was a scone. When a Music Star reaches the teen stage (and anything beyond that) the baby food and milk don't fill up its happy and hungry hearts to more than two. So, you have to buy food from the shop. Since you don't start out with much money, you're going to want to find something cheap. The scones were 220gp, if memory serves. I bought as many as I could, which was twelve or thirteen.

Then the king sent me a letter with 2000 more gotchi points inside! I rushed back to the shop and immediately bought more scones until my food inventory was filled up. Then I saw a toothbrush and bought that too, using it straight away. Pip brushed her teeth and then started showing me how shiny they were! I thought the toothbrush was a several-time use thing, but it's not. It disappears after one use, so I can't use it on the teen I have now.

Since my inventory was full, when the king sent me a beef bowl later on I couldn't accept it. It made Pip happy just to see it, though, so it's all good. The preschool teacher came and delivered me a book (which I assume is the tamagotchi's way of making sure I'm all set if I get a boy next gen) and then Pip was admitted to preschool, where she jump-roped all of the other useless less agile toddlers into the ground. To play the jump rope game, press any button when the rope is at your tama's knees. Doing this correctly earns you ten points for a random music stat, although it also increases stress a little whether you win or not.

Then Pip evolved into Chamametchi - yay, perfect care teen - but then she went to sleep again almost right away. When she woke up the next day, the guitar-man showed up at her door and delivered her some... singers? Singers are an instrument, apparently. All I can think of is Pip shouting and directing some poor people to sing for her, whilst she does nothing. Then she went to school and met her band-mates!

A female Ichigotchi named Thu, and a Kikitchi named David. Their band is named Sugars! All right, so it's not a great name. But at least it's better than 'Thu'. I made them practice a lot, because that increases the band's bond, which makes them more likely to pass the auditions later on. To play the school game, press the button that corresponds with the notes over the tamagotchi's heads. Make sure you do it in order - if A lights up, then C then B, you have to press the buttons in that order too. The tama is super nitpicky about it. If you do it right (you'll know because a victory tune will play) then your tama will earn twenty points towards a random music stat, although like last time stress is increased.

Pip ate a lot of the scones I bought, so when the king (thankfully) delivered me some more gotchi, it was time for shopping! I bought her a whole bunch of super-duper-healthy hotdogs. And since I had a bit of money left over, a cap and a pencil too. She can't use either yet. Here are her stats:
Hungry: 4/4 full
Happy: 4/4 full
Age: 1 year
Weight: 21lbs
Stress: 0
Tone: 588
Rhythm: 541
Original: 908
Music Genre: Rock n' Roll

That's all for now, although I might post again with what she evolves into! Hopefully it's something good.
