Asylum - Chapter 7


Lovin' and Hatin' the Pending Catastrophe




We greet the start of Week 4 with a promotion for Lizbet. As you may recall, Week 3 ended rather poorly for her, and with her mood and aspiration bottomed out I was rather concerned about her getting her next promotion. But Lizbet came through with flying colours, waltzing home Monday with a promotion and the need for more friends and more skills to make the next one.

But that frees us up to further pursue the antics of the Wainwright Asylum this week, where there's been...






lots of hatin'...






and lots of lovin' going on this week.






Let's start with the hating.

Despite Parson's rather surly look, he's not the one who started this disagreement.






Lorna is the instigator in this argument, and in many others this week as well. Apparently her little "sleeping with the other man" stunt to try to make Raul jealous didn't work, and she's not only taking it out on the "other man"...






but on Raul as well. She hovered around the kitchen, glaring and cracking her knuckles, just waiting for the two love birds to finish.

On the plus side, it's nice to see that someone's earning aspiration points.






Once Raul was detached from Marie, Lorna laid the smackdown on him. She's never so much as said a bad word to Marie, but I've got this feeling that Marie may not be one to trifle with. Anyway, as Lorna and Raul's pushing, shoving, and slapping increased in frequency, I knew it was just a matter of time before...






they tried to beat the stuffing out of each other.






With no body points, this scuffle could've gone to either one. Raul is the winner of this fight, neatly trouncing Lorna but still needing to go the full 10 rounds.






Despite being furious with Raul, Lorna had some sort of major fear for Raul as well, as evidenced by that big fat negative 3500. We've got our first breakdown of the week, and Lorna's very first breakdown.






She got her paybacks the next day, kicking Raul's tail through the bathroom wall.






They took it outside later in the week, scaring (and scarring) the poor paperboy as they went another 10 rounds on the front sidewalk. I think this one went to Raul as well.






Considering Lorna came to the asylum to learn how to make and keep friends, she seems to be doing a very poor job of it.






She's even having problems staying civil with her best friend and personal mascot, Cuppy.






In an attempt to soothe the fury between these two, Lizbet invited both of them to hang out with her for a while. While they're chatting it up, let's check out the "lovin'" part of the week






Isn't this every man's dream, to have sexy women in their undies pillow fighting with him and with each other?

Not being a guy, I fail to see the appeal.






Marie strives to keep a good relationship with all the men in the asylum. Whether it is mistletoe kissing with Parson (seen in one of the earlier weeks), pillow fighting with Earl, or getting trounced in rock-paper-scissors by Van.






But Raul is the only one she really has the hot moves for (and she doesn't care where they are when it's time for those hot moves). I'm beginning to wonder if she's been waiting this whole time to make a play for him.






Now don't let Lorna and Raul's animosity towards each other lead you to think that everyone at the asylum is grumpy like that. They're actually a rather affectionate bunch.






The mistletoe seems to help with that a little bit too. It's certainly gotten a workout this week.






It can make even the grumpy Lorna behave affectionately towards the other residents. That or she was so desperate for affection after chasing off Raul, she'd accept it any form. Even a friendly but chaste holiday kiss from Lizbet.






Van seems to be getting a little desperate as well. Now that I think about it, other than a couple rolls in the hay with Wanda the first week, he's been striking out in the romance scene as well.






I really hate to point out to him that no matter how good Parson looks in his Smanes, Van's just not his type.






Parson's definitely more interested in the ladies.






Lizbet, you blew things the last time by being too tired. Don't mess it up this time around by bringing up inappropriate topics of discussion. I doubt Parson really wants to be reminded too much of burned food and fire. It might put him into aspiration failure right in the middle of woohoo.






Well, Lizbet apparently figured out the right things to say to Parson to not put him into aspiration failure, or else he's getting a lot better at choosing between recycled and non-recycled kisses when he's getting up close and personal. Let's let these two catch up on their sleep so everyone will be ready for the weekend.

Parson finally GOT SOME!!!

And my goodness ... you've got some interesting personality clashes going on in your asylum. I don't think I've ever seen such a rowdy bunch of insane sims!! I never saw any fights in my asylum (*pout*).

Rut-ro - looks like you have some enemies in the house now. Fun, fun, fun.

And look at Parson, does this mean he understands what recycled kisses are now??

The kicking his head through the shower wall was pretty funny!

I don't think I've ever seen a sim sneer at her aspiration failure item.

These sims definitely need medicated!

Yay! Congrats on the promotion! *cheers*

And goodness, Sim-Keth is getting HUGE there. *snickers* Don't you think it's time you gave the poor thing a break and let her pop the little one out?

Good good lovin! :-D

Ooo, not sure I'd want to be messing with Lorna, personally. But at least Parson didn't let her just push him around either...

Hey, you got to week 4 before your first fight. Much better than the folks in my asylum had done. And that was without ACR in there to muck things up even more! *grins*

You know, I'm really not sure which one I would have rooted for in that fight.

Poor Lorna, I'm thinking maybe she really did like Raul a lot, if she was afraid of having a bad interaction with him (or maybe just a fear of losing a fight?) even while she was angry with him.

Y'ouch! That looks PAINFUL! *shudders at Raul*

Heh, I don't think I've seen a sim yell at their "crazy buddy" before.

Yes, that is every man's fantasy right there. *snickers*

Good to see most of the folks get along well. :-D

That mistletoe is definitely getting a workout there. *chuckles*
