To do so go to the B&B entry. This can be done once a day and restores some energy. The first time you eat in the B&B you get another event with Sean. It changes based upon how you reacted to him in the hallway and somewhat based on if you're a born female or TG */ <div class="skillpass">Version 0.1.1.a</div> Bug fixes: Visual bug when talking to the mayor about being his personal assistant has been fixed. Thanks Gwen and the others on the Twine Games discord! The first time you visited the diner, eating a meal left you with no way to exit or talk about the waitress job. That's fixed now. Oops! Tweaks: Removed the energy cost for going from your bedroom to the entry area or the outside of the b&b and vice versa. Moving around the B&B no longer costs energy at all. Removed the energy cost for going in and out of the motel room. Lowered the energy cost for moving from place to place from 5 to 3. Work "under the hood" to streamline some code. Thank you Gwen for pointing it out to me! <<link "Past changelogs">><<toggleclass "#pastlogs" "hidden">> <div id="pastlogs" class="hidden"> <div class="skillpass">Version 0.1.1</div> Bug fixes: Numerous small bugs. Notably, I forgot to set up a notebook page for Lou if you work as a waitress. That has been fixed. If you saw the doctor and let her hypnotise you it didn't have the full intended affect. This is fixed and should also update on old saves when you see her for the second time. Tweaks: Minor tweaks to the start page including adding the awesome logo by TRBRY Some images are no longer rounded, such as the polaroids of the characters in the notebook. Changed the pages to have much less or no scrolling. The trade off is links to continue the story. New content! Maid Job added: Meet Mister Van Horn in the diner and then go to his manor if you want it. Note: Transgender characters will need to be more feminine to accept the job but they can still talk about it with him. Church scenes added! Including a new way to get back energy! Library scenes added! Discover new secrets! More content to come to the library soon! <div class="skillpass">Version 0.1.c</div> Bug fixes: Fixed job logic so it doesn't tell you you missed work when you didn't.

These are all fairly explanatory but you can see a short description of them if you wish. <<link "Explanation of skills">><<toggleclass "#skillsexp" "hidden">><</link>> <div id="skillsexp" class="hidden"> Persuasion: The ability to convince others to do what you want.
