Happy Birthday, Gengis!
















It's been a while. I wonder what Gengis is doing down there?

Huh?

Gengis! There you are! I was beginning to wonder if something happened to you!
What? Stop freaking out, come on. We've got some gardening to do.

A long hiatus is no excuse for poor farming skills.
Also, now seems like a good time to announce that this update and further updates will be presented in
ANTI-ALIAS-O-VISION

You read that right! From now on, all pictures will be presented with the maximum amount of edge-smoothing possible!
The problem? I was just below max anyways, so you won't notice much of a difference. Oh well, have a close-up of Gengis's anti-aliased face.

Our super-special-secret seed is doing well, so we'll give it a little boost and fertilize it with some other fruit. Let's get the most out of this baby possible.
Anyways, today's a special day. It's Gengis birthday today! Time to celebrate.

And what better way to host a party than with some kickin' sound system?
Which is why we'll try our best to imitate such kickin' sound system by using the cheapest stereo possible.

Also Gengis's house is so darned cramped that we're going to have to shove this in the workshop. Oh well, at least it's spacious.

Let's finish up harvesting our fruits and veggies and send out the invitations!
Oh! Our watermelons have fully grown!

Err...
Well, uh. They...look like watermelons, at least.
Not that it matters to Gengis, he's just happy that not
everything he touches is turned to ruins.

Anyways, time to clean up for the party.

Just gotta do some 'stache smoothing...

Do our monthly teeth brushing...

Oh, and I also had to completely rearrange Gengis's living quarters so the toilet is next to the bathtub instead of the sink.
"Why," you ask?

So we can hang up this towel rack. Hooray!
This gave the room the little extra touch to make it "Masterfully decorated". That's the highest a room can be decorated. The best way to get this is to lay some trivial stuff around like towels or small plants, have a painting or two, and lay down a bunch of rugs.
Because this bathroom is so
gorgeous, whenever Gengis walks in this room his mood will be instantly lifted.
Which doesn't really matter since Gengis doesn't bathe much and never has to pee anymore since I got that one Reward.

Alright. All the invitations are sent. Time to cook some party food!

Gengis is going to whip out the ol' family recipe for this. I'm pretty curious myself, so I'll just take this opportunity to--

What? You have to prepare the ingredients in private?
Well, I guess it's fair seeing as it is a secret family recipe. I'll just stand back for now.

As Gengis prepares to cook I went ahead and bought him a nice birthday cake for the party.

All done? Okay, let's see...
Wait, what the heck IS that? It just looks like a glob of goop.

Gengis adds a few cloves of garlic...

A dash of seasoning...

Alright, let's give this a taste...

Hmm...I guess it tastes pretty good, actually!

Oh. Well, I guess it
used to taste pretty good, now.

We were sort had our hopes riding on this for the party food. We don't have enough time to try making it again...

Oh well, let's throw this on the plate and serve it anyways.

What IS this? It doesn't look like anything!

I know you're not a good cook to begin with, Gengis, but maybe the family recipe itself is bad to begin with.
Sheesh, did you come from an entire reign of bad chefs?
Gengis? Are you even listening to me?

...Oh.
That's right. Beverly's not coming to the party since Gengis's fight with her a while back.
I never really considered all the time we spent with Beverly. I guess you don't know what you've got until it's gone.

Oh well, we've got a party to host for now.

Our first guests arrive. Let's get started!

Everybody's here, so it's time to blow out the candles!

Okay Gengis. Think of a good wish.
Because I guarantee you it's not going to come true.

Gengis blows out the candles while Derrick and Sinbad get in a trumpet-blowing contest.
Alright, time to eat the cake!

Unfortunately, there's not enough room in the house so Gengis's guests force him to eat his cake inside his workshop.

As Gengis leaves the workshop, he runs into his girlfriend Blaise.
Wait, Gengis! What are you doing!? Your wish doesn't come true if you just blab it to everybody--
Wait...your wish was for Blaise to move in with you?

Aww, how sweet.
Blaise actually accepts and moves in with Gengis.
That's adorable. Too adorable, I feel like I'm gonna puke. Luckily, Blaise brought in some major funds, so I guess I can stomach it for a while.
I used the funds to make some big improvements in Gengis's house, but you won't get to see them until next update. For now, it's time to give Blaise a makeover.
Here's what I want you all to do. Just tell me how I should style Blaises hair (no color changes except for her highlights), makeup, shirt, shoes, or dress/pants. Sounds simple enough, doesn't it?

Until then, Blaise and Gengis dances the night away.
