"You... took her MEASUREMENTS?" Let's Play Princess Maker 2!

I did that a number of times, because I had so little interest in playing RPG bits in a non-RPG game. I may have been traumatized by monsters my first trip outside town too.

Hey kids! Daddy had a little talk with Nancy...



And he didn't have the heart to tell her.

She did fall from the sky or whatever, right?



Daddy sent Nancy to the palace today, too! She tried to talk to the knight but the knight was a big jerkface.



Without wasting time, Mr. Pants sends Nancy to work. A few days at the daycare, a few days at church, and some time off. Divine child or not, she'll deserves it after dealing with little kids. Damn munchkins.




She does... fine. And by fine I mean she only takes home 4 gold because she was useless the rest of the time.



Can I have some money? Pleasepleasepleasepleeeeeeeease?

That was a nice joke there, Nancy! Ha ha ha! Ha ha... ha...



For Haruhi's sake, Nancy. I'm not sending you to people to fail everyone.

Anyway, before I forget to do so, sometimes extreme weather can show up and ruin our daughter's day. So instead of having her freeze and complain, we'll have to spend money on things unrelated to science.


(Unfortunately, the image with the picture of the store's inventory has vanished into the Aether. We did spend around 190 gold, however.)



Alright, let's get this started. Nancy, daddy doesn't care how much money it is, you're going to school! (and also working your ass off before the child labor laws pass)



Cube gives us an ominous warning. We ignore it FOR SCIENCE.


Barcleo:"Mysticism is the product of ignorance. Miracles and sorcery are nothing more than scientific phenomena.



Nancy's stats start climbing... until we can't afford to pay her tuition, anyway. We're left with 26 gold and two wasted days.



Nancy continues her failure at the inn, getting nothing.

With nowhere else to go, Nancy turns to the church!



She does fine, again, but only manages to get 3 gold. Which is 1 gold under what we kinda needed.



When she gets home, however, we find out she's been stalked by some sort of effeminate dude with a mustache!

Cube: "Who's at the door? Oh- I- It's you!"

Bishie: "What? Do you know me, young man?"

Cube: "Master, this scoundrel is a demon named P.D. Karl the Fourth.

Karl: "You see, I've noticed that your daughter has been raising her morals and faith. These feelings are my favorite snack."



And then, Mr. Pants took out his sword and chased this demon away, like a real man.

Karl: "Ha ha ha, don't get so angry! It was just a joke, a joke!"



While her innocence has been preserved, it seems that this excitement was too much for Nancy!



Thankfully, her illness is not so serious as to threaten her life or have her sent to the hospital. Still, better to rest her up.






This month, we have Nancy rest up and help out around the house. When she's resting due to illness, we have the option of having Cube or Mr. Pants have the pleasure of nursing Nancy back to health. However, having father miss work means we don't get money. Which is bad.

Speaking of money, did you notice how much we have? Feeding Nancy this month has sent us into debt! How can we make her a Science Nun like this?




Housework helps with a lot of Nancy's stats, but doesn't get us any money, obviously. But hey, it's something she doesn't suck at!

Cube: "Oh, mistress, you did very well! You were a great help to me!"
Nancy: "Does that mean I can have my own money now?"
Mr. Pants: "Not until you're older, sweetie.



Nancy's time at home has made her healthy again, too!

Aaaand we'll leave it at that.

Here's the stat comparison for today:

Last Update:


This Update:


So, now that we're in the poorhouse and everything:
What plans do we have for Nancy? And how will we get more money?

There's several options here. We can sell Nancy's new clothes or... or have her run around the wilderness without a weapon. Though is it worth it?

That's up for you guys to decide. Until next time!

Normally I would be all about sending her off to the wilderness, but if she's getting sick with stress over just church work and chores, she'd probably just die.

So, church it is. At least until she can bring in a full week's pay.

You can just sell morality stats like a deck of cards? That's bizarre, yet awesome. I want to sell off my excess stress for cash.

That zero in Combat Defense suggests that maaaaaybe sending her off to fight is still premature. On the other hand, that big boost to Housework Reputation (seriously?) might mean newfound success for another week as a hotel maid.

Well, we COULD run from everything. And adventure is also one of the easiest ways to get money.

All that debt you have is getting in the way of SCIENTIFIC PERFECTION. Kill the debt.

Why did her combat skill drop? Does she need practice or something?

Working, unlike (I believe) going to most classes, will raise AND lower some stats.

For example, working at the inn lowers Combat Skill, while cleaning goes up.

The one that always made me laugh... isn't available yet, but let's just say it's comical in that it drops your daughter's intelligence steadily while raising an attribute that can only be raised by doing that activity. As the SA goons put it, it's like her brain is leaking out her ears somehow.

Is there a job that uses intelligence as a primary factor in calculating whether or not she fails?

Yeah, but we won't have access to it for some time yet. Tutor.

Considering how low you are in cash right now, might as well get a bit of adventuring in. Especially since you need the money.

Yeah, watching the Pants family lose their home and starve to death over the course of the next few updates seems unfun. Better to risk a sudden and exciting death!

No! I already said I wanted to see if it was possible to finish the game (without outright killing her) without ever stepping outside the city!

If you sell her morals, will they "grow" back by working at the church and studying theology?

If they do grow back, could you sell them again? Could make for an interesting money making scam.

Yes. His payment is based on how high the stat is, and it returns them to 0. Though in practical terms it's too slow to be worth the time.

Is it worth it to do it once? (I've never played this game.) She sucks at all these currently available jobs and it might be a good way to get enough money until she gets over that age where she's too young to have any appreciable moneymaking skills.

Then she can maybe take some poetry and fighting classes. I'd really like for her to go back to to that knight, engage him in conversation, and have her kick him where it really hurts when he leasts suspects it.

I'm sorry for being the biggest slacker ever, everyone! But guess what, I'm not dead, and neither is this LP! NANCY LIVES AGAIN! After 6 (or so) months in the back of my computer, I hope this update was worth the wait!



Last we left off, Nancy was staring at us, and we were broke! Ah well... we're only one gold piece in debt! Even a day working at church pays for that!



And besides, Nancy's scared of fighting. She'll cry if she has to! Do YOU want to make her cry?



Oh don't be a killjoy, Cube. How can she possibly get sick working for out loving God(dess)?



Wait what DAMN IT NANCY. Can't you stop eating for one month?



See, how can you possibly get sick sweeping the floor and shoving a dirty rag into a goddess' face? Altogether, Nancy makes... nine gold. As in, out of an entire month of cleaning God's house she messes up and only makes nine gold.



FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF. Cube's giving me that "I told you so" look!



Whatever. She can sleep and do housework until she can't talk to people anymore.



damnit nancy



Cube watches Nancy at the house and has her clean up a little. This month of reclusiveness sends her Sensitivity down the drain, though you can't see it in this shot.



See? She's smiling again!



You know what, forget this. Nancy, get out of the basement, it's adventure time! No, don't worry, it's nothing to be afraid of!



Cube says this is too dangerous! Nancy doesn't have weapons or armor! Nancy's a ten year old girl! Well, you know what, shut up, Cube. Where I came from, demons of darkness were the weakest chumps around and "The Flower Master of the Four Seasons" would tear you into tiny pieces and throw your corpse into a field as fertilizer. AND I FOUGHT THEM WITH NOTHING BUT MY BARE HANDS AND A DRAPE OVER MY NETHER REGIONS. My daughter can and will punch monsters to death! And she's wearing a dress! She has more than what I had when I was her age!



damn it, nancy



Nancy leaves the safety of the town and braves the wilderness...

there is no part of this plan that I do not like.

Ha, forget you Forest Patrol. Cowards. Life-threatening conditions and is how young girls become the strongest.



Watch this, everyone. Nancy's gonna show all the other little girls how it's done.



OH GOD WHAT THE FSTEAK IS THAT? EW EW EW EW EW. Slay it, Nan- what. She's hiding? She's HIDING? I, Sir Pants, slayer of Lucifon did NOT raise his daughter as a COWARD.

(This is how we try to survive this entire team without any weapons. Hiding, then fleeing. It works, and we evade several Mantises, until...)



(...this happens.)

Oh, good. No more hiding. Now she'll stand her ground like a real member of the Pants fam-



Okay maaaybe she should start with something less likely to kill her?



CHEATER. Wait- Nancy? NANCY? NOOOOOOOOOOOO!



I take back everything bad I said about you cube. I-I'm a horrible person...



Nancy recovers in eight days, no worse for wear. She's actually quite eager to head out again! She packed her winter dress and is ready to go!



Eww, squishy!



Nancy gets stopped by what seems to be a grumpy-looking guard, but she only gets warnings as a word of advice from him.



...wait, the Silver wolf? Not a silver wolf? Um...



Well, that was close!

Eager in her "victory" of not dying horribly, Nancy skips over a narrow ice bridge...



...and lands in a snowbank! Lucky her!

Hey... what's that? That has to be something awesome!



Holy crap, Nancy, you did it! That's way more than enough to pay off our debt! Now let's go into the cave and-



damnit there's a wolf in the way

Nooooooooooo! Let go of Nancy's arm, you overgrown puppy!



"Daaaaddy! Cubeeeeeee! The puppy bit me and it really hu-"

Why is there so much BLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD




After giving Daddy the money she found and having her horrific wounds treated by the local magician, Nancy gets back to her religious duties, and miraculously...



...doesn't mess up or break any goddess statues' arms off! For doing so well, Sister Lee pays Nancy a little extra!



Also, the weather turns incredibly hot, and we have Nancy wear her summer dress. Though she could have achieved the same effect with a cheap and ladylike folding fan...



Here are her attributes after this update! Now that Nancy's had a taste of violence and the Pants household has paid off their debt, what shall we do now?

Get Nancy a longer dress. We aren't raising some kind of trollop!

Well, we could.

I'm not saying we ARE. I'm just saying we could.

Poor Nancy has to get mangled by wolves and Adam West before finding that miraculous chest of gold. Just who DOES put those chests there anyway?

I say we start outfitting her to be a battle maiden to the great god Odin. We can worry about this science nun business when Mr. Pants can actually afford to pay for Nancy's schoolin'. So far, the best source of income is random chests dotting the landscape. Stupid cheap nuns...

Get her social reputation up...somehow.

We desire revenge against wolfkind. Make it so!

I say stick with the Science Nun plan and only resort to adventure in emergencies like this. Maybe she can learn some magic just in case?

Adventure is profitable! Take some time to adventure every month.
