Day Six

Pip the Memetchi left her baby with me this morning. I named her Alice. I'd forgotten that the babies were so needy! It was like every time I checked her hearts were plummeting at the speed of light. Anyway, an hour passed and Alice evolved into a Hitodetchi, which is the star-shaped toddler that you (apparently) receive for perfect care as a baby.

A little while later, the same as the last generation, the preschool teacher came and gave me a new toy, a helicopter. I think the toys in this tama work in three different ways; toys for boys, for girls and toys for both. I personally now have a stuffed panda, a book and a helicopter, so the panda would be for girls, the book for both and the helicopter for boys. But then again I could be completely wrong. I probably am.

Three poops came in the mail for poor Alice today. Imagine having to be the postman though. That might be just as bad, having to walk around with this really smelly bag that you know contains letters just filled to the brim with turds. Then you have other ones that have actual hearts in. And then you have the ones from the king, who apparently gives out gifts randomly to everyone several times in their lifespan, that you can't let get dirty or contaminated by the blood from the hearts or the stink from the poop. ...Gosh, that poor postman. I won't complain about him anymore. Except for when he brings he robbers somehow. Maybe he brings a ransom note and then has to steal the money himself?

Anyway, Kyoya got a job today! He's a doctor. On the V4 and the V4.5, your tama can get a job once it's been an adult for a day. You'll get a [!] note, and much the same as the preschool, your tama will be transported to school where it will shout at the teacher and renounce its hat. After this scene has taken place, you'll receive another note which will take you to a building. Press the A button to scroll through them. What the building looks like will be the job that your tama will get. For example, the hairdresser job's building literally looks like a building with giant scissors attached.

If you take your tama to the job a lot, the next day when you take it, it will receive a paycheck. To access the job, go into the infrared communications icon and select work, as you have done for school and preschool.

After you select a job for your tama, three judges will come up. I believe this is based on skill points, so try to have at least 100 combined. If the judges pass you (an o sign is a pass, an x sign is a fail) then your tama will get a present from the king, which will be a trinket tailored to the job you picked. Since I picked 'doctor' my present was a bag with a medical sign on it. This replaces the hat and is only for cosmetic purposes, as the only time you'll see it is when your tama goes off to work.

The doctor job works exactly the same as the V3's Get game. You must catch hearts and avoid skulls. The white hearts are worth two points and the black ones one point. If you miss a heart (of any colour) or catch a skull, the game is over. Although this game isn't hard, it can be a little difficult to differentiate between the black hearts and the skulls, especially if you're used to the V3 version of the game, which has different things to catch. If you collect 100 points, you win.

On the Music Star, Pip sent Alice a present! It was corn. Also, Kyoya got a beef bowl from the king.

That's it for today, so now it's stat time! Also, on the Music Star, Memetchi's favourite food is cereal, and Hitodetchi's is corn.
