Chapter 6: Torch Holder Pressure
Welcome back to the Absedy Alphabet ISBI Challenge! Last time I finally started to get the hang of homework, but now it seems that Laura can’t hear me anymore…
What’s going on?
Laura!
Laura, seriously, if this is a joke…
Aislin: “Mom! Are you alright?”
Laura: “What is it?”
Aislin: “I guess it’s nothing. But I was sure I heard someone screaming your name.”
Laura: “Well, I’m okay.”
Wait a minute…
Aislin: “What was that?”
Laura: “What was what?”
What was me!
Aislin: “Who are you?”
I’m the Controller.
Aislin: “That thing that mom was always talking about?”
Yup. Though I’m not really a thing. I’m a person. And the manipulator of your life. Wow. It sounds horrible when I say it that way.
Aislin: “I’m crazy. Aelwin finally pushed me over the edge. I’m crazy.”
Ah, come on, you aren’t crazy. I’m perfectly real. And boy do we have some work to do to get you ready for university.
Aislin: “Ug. Why am I awake at 3 in the morning?”
Because I woke you up. Time to get cracking little lady. You need scholarship money, and only a few days before I have to send you to college, which believe me, you need.
Aislin: “We have a tread mill!?”
Uh, yeah. It’s only been in the middle of your living room for your entire life.
Aislin: “Really? I had no idea. I like it.”
Apparently. She just discovered that her ‘destined hobby’ is fitness.
Aislin: “I’m still not convinced that you aren’t some trick from Aelwin.”
Even if I am, you’ll thank me.
Aislin: “You’re a slave driver you know. First, working out for several hours, then school, then homework, and now I’m going to work. I’m tired!”
That’s nothing. Just wait until you’re a parent!
Huh. It seems Komei ended up back on the floor.
…
I guess I should wake him up before it’s been a full day again, huh?
Shame.
Komei: “Ug. I need to stop sleeping on the floor. My back kills.”
*snicker* Let’s see how long it takes him to realize he’s an elder, shall we?
Seriously? What inside of this house fits the bill of excellence?
Kids who keep getting bad grades, a dad who keeps passing out, and a mom who will never fulfil her dream, because I took too long.
And did I mention that four out of five of them are crazy?
3,500 isn’t a bad amount, considering that you spent your entire life goofing off. And you got the Tsang and Will Wright grants all on your own! That’s half, so I say congrats.
You ready for college? Because I’m ready to max out your skills and get you a diploma. I’m especially looking forward to having a sim that can actually cook.
Aislin: “I have a feeling that you are way more excited about this than I am.”
Which is funny, because I usually hate university.
Do you think we should take your sisters, too? I will actually be able to control them in Uni.
Aislin: “I think…”
Decide wisely, because this will determine what I do for the rest of this challenge, which is very long by the way.
Aislin: “Um… I don’t know.”
Well, you’re a lot of help.
Aislin: “Hey! This is a lot of pressure! You’ve been pushing me super hard and now you expect me to make a decision that will effect all of my future decedents? How can I possibly not be worried about the choice I make? Besides, I’m new to this whole torch holder thing. If you want an answer, why don’t you just ask my mom?”
Because I can’t…
Aislin: “What do you mean?”
I mean, that as soon as you became old enough to take over as torch holder, Laura stopped being able to hear me. Only the torch holder can hear me.
Aislin: “Oh. I thought you just didn’t talk to anyone, but mom.”
Nope, so just as much as you are stuck with me, I’m stuck with you. So let’s just make this work, okay?
Aislin: “I’m tired. I’m going to bed.”
Uh, no, you’re going to college.
Aislin: “Bed.”
College.
Aislin: “I hate you.”
Laura: “Why’s my baby leaving? Controller, why is she leaving?”
*sigh* I wish she could hear me.
Aislin: “The Controller says it’ll be fine, Mom. She’s watching over me.”
Did I say that?
