Round 32 ROS

Round 31 is not over yet (3 more families to go!) but I've rolled the ROS for next round, so here they are!

I'll be adding links to each ROS as I fulfill it. Naturally, if you're not caught up, these links may contain spoilers.

• Fired - unemployed for [1] day Teensy bit annoyed about this one, to be honest but I think I can make it work. I should probably just take out the part of this ROS that specifies the time length though. "Days" doesn't really work for my play style any more and I suspect that even if it did, I'd probably write it in however it made sense for the story anyway.
  
• Small lottery prize [$500]
  
• Food Poisoning. You should have known from the green fumes that it was no good. Stay home and rest up. Ha! I've never rolled this one before!
  
• Bar fight! What a night -- too bad you don't really remember it. You pick a fight in a bar, then have to pay a $200 fine in damages. If you win the fight, gain a body skill. Lose and lose a body skill. Another new one for me and I could not be happier with who rolled it! I can absolutely picture this Sim getting into a bar fight!
  
• Power failure for 12 hours. Yet another new one. I just got some ideas formulating in my head for this one this very second.
  
• Large lottery prize [$10000]

I'll just note here that I will be in Melbourne this weekend. I'm leaving early Friday morning (that's tomorrow for me) and coming back on Sunday evening. I'll have my smartphone with me but I won't get to reply to any comments until I get home.
I did want to get the Lane update up before I left but that's not going to be possible. I do have a rough outline done though, so it shouldn't take me too much time to sort it out once I get back. See you soon!

You are a light
