Skip had been a bad little sim, Evidently a lot of influence from Calum MacKenzie who was the town thug. He should have been going to school or doing his homework or what-not - something educational, but he was loitering around the hospital at 11:45PM at night. How does one reconcile that?
With asteroids of course...
Meanwhile, Haruo kept chipping away at the wood block trying to create a sculpture. And Abacadabra the Laundry Bear and Master Manchu (Somehow he was just sitting around and well, River just grabbed him from the street in Shang Sim La - hey, finders keepers) sat there across the glass enclosed walkway and hung out in the minimalist dojo that Haruo had created, just a kick-bag and a martial arts dummy.
The next afternoon Calum MacKenzie got his comeuppance for being a town thug. He got hit by a random bolt from the blue which caused his heart to seize.
"Well, maybe, Calum, you should have gotten yourself a regular job and not been a "town thug". Mugging people isn't such a good idea, right? You have brought shame...SHAME...upon the family who had sponsored you to this town and you took advantage of their reputation...for that...(sinister Ian McDiarmid cackle) Young Calum, you...must...DIE...
Well, easy come; easy go...
Haruo, River, Susan and Yasunobu sat around the kitchen table eating. It was a subdued conversation, Haruo having witnessed the death of his old college friend turned bad. However, the reputation of the family had to remain unsullied no matter what the cost. And hey, it kept Grim occupied.
The military school bus dropped Alan off at a remote location (wasn't it supposed to be door to door?! What the hell are we paying the school for?") and he had to catch a taxi home to the door.
The Chikamoris were so outraged at the fact that their son got dropped off in the middle of no-where that they pulled the entire family out of that school and decided that the Chikamori children would spend the rest of their school-years at home. So everyone came home.
Alan took some time and worked on some finding some potions, after he came back from getting a medical job at the hospital since he had now graduated.
...and well, the kids were well on their way to getting back onto honor-roll and that was the way that the parents and grandparents liked it.
High Expectations Asian Father...what else
