Chapter 365

Servo is ready to conquer climbing to the top of Mt. Komorebi once and for all!

Ainsley is accompanying him along the journey since she has the ability to 'spacebend' to the top of the rock climbing walls instead of climbing them.

Ainsley: "Let's do this, Servo!"

Servo: "You go ahead. I need to prepare, first."
Ainsley: "Alright! See you up at the first trail map marker!"

Ainsley: "Spacebend!"

Ainsley: "Woah!"

Ainsley: "I guess I'll just wait for Servo here."

Servo: "Hands: chalked."

Servo: "Limbs: stretched."

Ainsley: "...Any day now, Servo."

Up he goes!

Servo: "I made it! Let's move on up the mountain."

Servo and Ainsley have made their way pretty far up the mountain. Servo even earned the 'Capable Mountaineer' trait. He needs to make sure he's behind Ainsley at all times to make sure she's safe.

While Ainsley rests...

Servo is onto the next wall he needs to climb.

You've got this, Servo!

Servo: "Made it!"

Hooray!

Ainsley: "That was a nice nap. Spacebend!"

Ainsley: "It's freezing! Let's hurry up, Servo!"
Servo: "Don't run too fast!"

Ainsley: "Ugh! I can barely see through this blizzard!"

Servo and Ainsley made it to the next checkpoint! This is the furthest Servo has ever climbed up Mt. Komorebi! They even found a bonfire.

Servo: "Nice and warm for anyone affected by the climate!"

Ainsley: "That would be me. I might as well have some dragon fruit while I warm up, too."

That's quite a peculiar snack to bring while climbing up the tallest mountain in the sim world.

While Ainsley warms up by the bonfire...

Servo is climbing the tallest wall yet!

Servo: "Argh! I actually made it!"

Ainsley: *Blargh!*
Servo: "You okay there, Ainsley?"

Ainsley: "I think all this spacebending is messing with me!"

Servo: "Woah! Wait for me!"

Ainsley: "We're so close, now! I can feel it-"

Ainsley: "Woah!"

Ainsley and Servo have made it to the final trail map marker!

Holy guacamole! The top of the mountain is now at eye level!

Ainsley: "Servo... we're almost at the peak!"
Servo: "Just a few more steps!"

Servo: "We... we did it!"

Ainsley: "We really made it to the top of Mt. Komorebi."

The view from the top!

Servo: "I must say, on my long list of achievements, this has to be at the top!"

*Ba dum tss*

Servo has earned the 'Expert Mountaineer' trait and a nice plaque to hang on the wall at home!

What do you do when you reach the top of the tallest mountain in the sim world?

Take selfies, of course!

Ainsley and Servo are ecstatic!

All Servo needs to do now to complete the 'Extreme Sports Enthusiast' aspiration is survive 3 wildlife attacks unscathed and successfully complete high intensity skiing on an expert slope during inclement weather.

Not many sims can say they've climbed to the top of Mt. Komorebi. I'm so proud of Ainsley and Servo!

There's no better place to build a snowpal, am I right?

I can't wait to see how it comes out!

It's perfect.

Ainsley: "Look at my super cool snowpal!"

Ainsley: "Are you jelly?"

Ainsley: "Because I would be."

Servo: "I know you're jelly."

Servo: "Come up here and try to destroy this snowpal, townies!"

Servo: "Oh, that's right... you can't."

Okay, enough with the snowpal selfies!

Ainsley: "Mt. Komorebi peak snow angels!"

These two are acting like they're on top of the world... because they are!

Ainsley: "I'm gonna draw a heart!"

Ainsley: "Uh... are there any bathrooms around here?"

The nearest bathroom is about 29,032 feet away.

Servo: "I'll draw a smiley face since I'm so happy."

These two have definitely left their mark here at the top of Mt. Komorebi. Now, to trek back down!

Ainsley and Servo made it back down the mountain and decided to visit the bathhouse for a bathroom, snack and self-repair break.

Paparazzi: "Servo! Is it true that you just climbed to the top of Mt. Komorebi?"

Let the man rest!

Ainsley is getting a burger and a can of coffee from this vending machine.

Paparazzi: "Servo! What did the top of Mt. Komorebi look like?"
Ainsley: "Hey, I hiked up there, too."

Servo: "Alright, I'm done self-repairing. Let's go hiking!"

How on earth do you both still have energy?

Those are some ✨fabulous✨ shoes, sir.

Servo needs to survive 3 wildlife attacks unscathed. Maybe they'll encounter some wildlife on this hike?

Servo: "Hmm... footprints... maybe wildlife isn't too far from here."

Servo: "You see that mountain?"

Ainsley: "We were just at the top of that mountain!"
Servo: "Correct!"

Servo survived a terrifying encounter! ...With some fireflies.

Ainsley: "Wait, I need to get a picture!"

Servo: "We completed an entire hike with only one encounter with some fireflies. I guess we'll need to try again!"
Ainsley: "Lead the way, Servo!"

Off they go, once again!

Servo: "Hmm... this map indicates there may be some wildlife to the north during night time."

Servo and Ainsley completed yet another hike with no wildlife encounters. Ainsley is heading home to rest while Servo continues to hike in the hopes of encountering some wildlife.

More terrifying fireflies!

Oh gosh, an actual wildlife encounter!

Servo has been electrocuted by some denkimushi bugs!

He didn't have the right gear to ward them off.

Time to purchase some equipment to be prepared for any wildlife that comes Servo's way.

After recharging for a few hours...

Servo is back outside hiking.

He encountered the denkimushi yet again!

Only this time, he had the right equipment to ward them off. Now, he just needs to survive two more wildlife attacks unscathed.

Servo: "I'm energized after surviving that encounter unscathed. Fear me, wildlife!"

Oh no! Bees!

Servo has survived unscathed, yet again.

More denkimushi!

Servo has now survived three wildlife attacks unscathed.

It may not be inclement conditions, but it's worth a try having Servo try to complete high intensity skiing on an expert slope.

Welp, that didn't complete the aspiration task. I guess Servo will have to come back here in winter time during a snowstorm and try again.

Ooh! It's Servo's longtime bestie, Yamachan!

After recharging again...

Servo is back hiking yet again. He's hoping to encounter some forest spirits for the 'Mt. Komorebi Sighteer' aspiration. I'd also like to collect every single one of them for the crafted items room since they're not officially a collectable item, for whatever reason.

Ooh! Here's some forest spirits, now!

Go ahead... collect them, Servo.

Where are you going?! Now, they're gone!

Okay, here's some more forest spirits.

Collect them!

Servo: "Aww, man. I lost them."

That's too bad.

More denkimushi have attacked! Luckily, Servo is prepared.

Servo, stop! COLLECT THE FOREST SPIRITS!

WHY DO YOU KEEP WALKING AWAY?!

Instead of collecting these forest spirits, Servo just stared at them and walked away yet again. Since it's no longer night time, forest spirits won't appear anymore. The Parsons will have to collect them later. It's time to head home.

Another task of the 'Mt. Komorebi Sightseer' aspiration is to become emotionally mindful. Hopefully reading books will help.

Mack is still a lobster, in case you were wondering.

There's no better moral support than the party bot while you're using the digitalistic sketchpad in the bathroom.

Bowie, don't attack Bonehilda!

Bowie: "Intruder! Intruder!"

Bowie: "Back to guarding my home."

Poor Bonehilda needs to unwind to some party bot music after that attack.

Bowie: "That thing is still here?!"

Bowie: "That's an intruder I'm too terrified to attack."

Uh... aren't you supposed to be cleaning?

Hooray! Servo has reached the top of the politics career in the 'public relations' branch!

Next, he'll be joining the romance consultant career.

Unfortunately, this career doesn't seem to be integrated with university degrees, so Servo is starting from level 3.

Servo: "Are you kidding me?"

One of his promotion tasks is to read a romance novel. He'll finish reading this whole book in just an hour, I'm sure.

Looks like Mollie is taking Sparkle for her daily walkies!

Hooray! Ainsley has reached level 10 of the charisma skill!

More achievements! Greyson has reached level 3 of the chess club and is now the chess captain! He also completed the 'Goal Oriented' teen aspiration!

He even got this cool chess club trophy!

Servo's daily task for his career is to study modern love.

Ainsley: "If that party bot releases confetti one more time!"

I guess it'll have to save the confetti for Bonehilda, instead.

It's finally time for the science fair! Greyson had to wait so long for this since there's always some kind of sport event happening, instead.

Alyssa: "I'm totally gonna embarrass myself once everyone sees I can't solve the chess puzzle!"

Alyssa: "What's the puzzle even supposed to be?"

Greyson: "It means this isn't your average game."

Greyson: "You need to be able to move the pieces to match the puzzle on the board."

Alyssa: "There's a puzzle on the board?"

Greyson: "Yeah! You don't see it?"
Alyssa: "Uh... nope!"

Greyson: "One salmon and scrambled egg bowl, please! Actually... make that two."

Greyson: "Hey, Alyssa! Come try this salmon and scrambled egg bowl!"

Alyssa: "You have great taste!"

Greyson: "I know, right?"

Student: "Science fair selfie!"

Greyson: "Quick! Take my picture!"

You guys were supposed to take a selfie in front of the backdrop!

Greyson: "Since we both have salmon and scrambled egg breath, this is the perfect time to kiss."

Alyssa: "Huh?"

*Kiss!*

Alyssa: "Woah! I didn't know you had a crush on me back!"

Greyson: "It wasn't obvious?"

Alyssa: "Not until now."

Greyson only has about 20 minutes to complete the chess puzzle.

Oop- time's up!

Judge: "Gather around, students! It's time to announce the results of the chess puzzle contest!"

Judge: "The highest score goes to... Johnny Smith!"

Greyson: "I didn't win?"

Alyssa: "This is preposterous!"

Judge: "Don't worry, you all did a great job tonight, students!"

Greyson: "That's not what I wanted to hear."

Happy birthday, Mack!

Happy birthday, Ainsley!

Happy birthday, Greyson!

Greyson aged up into a young adult!

Aaand, here we have our generation 32 heir!

Mack aged up into an elder!

So did Ainsley! She earned the 'wise' trait.

Greyson is applying to universities! He graduated as the valedictorian of his high school.

Servo is still trying to become emotionally mindful for the 'Mt. Komorebi Sight Seer' aspiration by listening to classical music.

Servo: "This is my jam!"

Welp, that didn't work, so he's trying bonsai tree shaping, instead.

Beautiful, but still not enough to become emotionally mindful, apparently.

While Greyson awaits his university acceptance letter, he's applying for the E-Sports, Workplace Scholar and Gibbi Point Resident scholarships.

Ainsley has decided to send off a Trendi package that was ordered while she was still a young adult.

Ainsley: "Better late than never! Hopefully they're still alive and didn't pass of old age by now."

Servo still isn't emotionally mindful. Time to start again!

Luckily he has the option to regrow the bonsai tree since he's high level in the gardening skill, I'm assuming.

Greyson is working on the 'Renaissance Sim' aspiration. He needs to read 3 books.

Hooray! Ainsley has finally reached level 10 of the painting skill!

Hopefully, she can say the same about the writing skill soon. She's going to start writing a science fiction book to ensure that happens.

It's Harvestfest time! 🦃🍁🍂

Mack: "I'm adding Harvestfest to my list of favorite holidays!"

Mack: "My other favorite holidays include Winterfest, Spooky Day, Egg Day and Love Day."

...That's every single holiday.

Mack: "What? A sim can't love every single holiday?"

Mack: "I'm gonna rake up some leaves solely to be able to play in a leaf pile."

The cleaner bot is down in the collectables room again since it gets so dusty in here and Bonehilda never bothers to step in this room.

Ainsley finished writing her science fiction book, however, she's still yet to max out her writing skill. I guess she'll have to write another book!

Are you kidding me? Greyson managed to become emotionally mindful from reading one book and Servo hasn't been able to while doing multiple emotionally mindful activities!

Greyson: "I guess that makes me cooler than Servo for the day."

Mack: "I worked hard to rake up this leaf pile and it was so worth it!"

Mack: "Yippee!"

Ainsley: "I can't let all that time I spent writing 'The Venusian Chronicles' be in vain! I have to sell it to a publisher!"

Ainsley: "I can't believe I'm about to publish my first book!"

Ainsley: "First book: published."

Hooray, Ainsley!

Greyson is back to working on his research & debate skill before he begins university.

Greyson: "Hey, Alyssa! ...You're at my front door right now?"

Greyson: "That was unexpected!"

Alyssa: "What can I say? I like to surprise sims!"

Greyson: "Can you believe we're about to head off to college?"

Alyssa: "I can hardly believe it. It'll be weird not seeing you every day."

FINALLY! Servo has received a golden treat from his little rabbit friend!

Now, he has learnt how to make golden animal treats!

Servo: "Thank you, my little rabbit friend."

I'm assuming this headshake means 'no mean to thank him'?

Servo: "Hey! Enough tomfoolery out here."

Alyssa: "Sorry, Servo!"
Servo: "You two behave."
Greyson: "Grant me the strength..."

Greyson: "You know, you can still visit me all the time in college and text or call me whenever you want."

Alyssa: "I know that, Grey. I won't let us drift apart ever."

Servo is running an emergency romance hotline over the computer for his daily work task.

Servo: "A sim is in crisis after they caught their partner washing plates in the bathroom sink instead of the kitchen sink? Perfect!"

Servo: "Dear THE_WELCOME_WAGON, I care deeply about your relationship concerns and am here to help you out with this crisis..."

Party bot, don't encourage this chaos!

Where the heck is Bonehila when you need her?!

Mollie is tasked with making dinner since everyone else is too busy.

Mollie: "Please don't burn, please don't burn, please don't burn..."

Ainsley has published her second book, a mystery book titled 'Two Shoes Gone'.

Ainsley: "Would you believe that I still haven't maxed out the writing skill?"

Alyssa: "These hotdogs are totally not burnt!"
Mollie: "Thanks. That was the main goal."

Bowie, stop that!

Bowie: "You saw nothing!"

Servo has earned a special romance consultant certificate!

I also found the plaque Servo and Ainsley received for climbing to the top of Mt. Komorebi! It shall be displayed proudly on the wall.

Mack: "I'll add those hotdogs to the list of most delicious dinners ever!"
Mollie: "Aren't you so proud of me, trash bag?"

I'm pretty sure Servo earned this book somewhere along the way during his recent Mt. Komorebi adventures. Hopefully 'Embracing the Moment and Inspiring Others' will be just the book Servo needs in order to become emotionally mindful.

Speaking of books, Ainsley has finally maxed out her writing skill while writing a children's book!

Hooray! Servo has become emotionally mindful and has completed the 'Mt. Komorebi Sightseer' aspiration!

Never get too close to the house, silly paparazzi! Bowie is always watching.

Confetti all around! Greyson was accepted into university!

Servo: "Hooray! One less sim to cook for!"

Yay! Greyson will be attenting the University of Britechester to earn a distinguished degree in History!
