hello. and welcome. half a year later I have returnéd to continue posting the Scooters and to finish posting generation 7. why did I wait so long? I don't know. perhaps it is because I am a fool. but whatever the reason is, I'm here to right my wrongs before the calendar rolls over to '22.
so. let's get into it, shall we?
so. let's get into it, shall we?
Hayabusa: I live only to please! I have daddy issues! I am experiencing anguish!
Welcome to freedom from the bowlcut, baby boy. Happy birthday, Xavier!
Koichi: (sniffs) They grow up so fast! Especially when you are not taking an active hand in raising them </3
The first thing I had to do with that Snowy Escape mullet was to throw it on my sim child. You understand, right?
Xavier: Joke's on you, dummy. it's actually a mothafuckin' LOOK
Koichi, aside: Xavier, don't swear at the audience.
Who made my robot sad!!!! Who!! I will KILL THEM!!!
Hayabusa: Please do not intercede on my behalf. As a robot that feels no pain I am more than capable of ending my tormentors' lives. Expeditiously!
This whole, monster under the bed thing is really...definitely a design choice, I'll give EA that.
Xavier: Papa! Papa! Help!!! there's something under my bed!
Koichi: (groans) Xavier...I just got into bed...
---spray spray!--
Koichi: There, is that better? Can I go back to sleep now?
Xavier: Thank you for participating in my social experiment, papa. In prioritising going to sleep over mitigating the danger your only son is in, I see where you stand now as a person. I will log these... results.
Koichi: God, what have I done. I've literally created a monster.
No you guys but seriously. Xavier is a real absolute brat.
Xavier: I! AM! SO! MAD! AND! I! WON'T! EXPLAIN! WHY!!!!!
Xavier: I feel like making an adult so angry they literally die! nobody will stop me!!
And that is exactly what he proceeded to do with premade celebrity Brytani Cho, who I hate egregiously. I .. don't seem to have the screencap of said event but just know that it happened.
Laila would be so proud.
Speaking of Miss Laila, here she is, working on that degree that she almost forgot about. She's not on campus anymore because that shit is seriously fucking dumb as BALLS, so she'll do online classes.
Laila: I must achieve the final yassification, which is, evidently, to obtain a little piece of paper that says I did The Thing. (sigh) we live in a society
Xavier: Doing your homework, mom?
Laila: Yes, I am. shouldn't you also be doing yours?
Xavier: Nah, I'm not lame like you. All the best, though.
Laila: ....man, is that what I sound like? Shit.
Cooling off in a sauna? Yes. The Scandinavians have got that absolutely right.
Xavier: The steam kinda smells like your nasty feet though?
Laila: Get yourself right, kid. That's your foot stench because it only got bad after you came in here.
Xavier: Seems fake but okay. Liar-ass.
Not Hayabusa trying to fuck Koichi's computer....
Hayabusa: The complexity of your circuitry impresses me! I would... very much like to see it closer!
Computer: ...
Hayabusa: ...okay! Let's chat later!
Koichi: I am thinking... I am thinking! (gasp) You, Laila, have to go to the bathroom!
Laila: wtf how did you know?
Koichi: You have been farting up a living storm since you laid down. The culprit... the cheesecake from Denny's we had.
Laila: Huh. you really are the love of my life, aren't you?
It's getting weird out in the neighbourhood, if you asked this random townie.
Hayabusa: (going out for a jog)
Neighbour: ....you know what? I am not high enough for this shit. I'm headed back home.
Everybody at home loves Hayabusa! Of course Ichi does because he poured blood, sweat and tears into its creation...
Koichi: You're getting better and better at baking, Hayabusa. Keep it up.
Hayabusa: Thank you, creator Koichi. I am downloading tips from the Great British Bake-Off as we speak.
Koichi: Fantastic. That's all I could've asked for.
Xavier uses Hayabusa like a personal database. To... better... do his homework. Yeah
Xavier: Okay. Now... when did the library of Alexandria fall?
Hayabusa: That is actually a modern misconception. The library was partially burned in 48 BCE but its decline was actually gradual and took place over centuries, beginning with Egypt's purging of intellectuals from Alexandria in 145 BCE. Additionally--
Xavier: ...bro just give me a date. Please.
Laila, however...well, if you asked her, she'd much rather live without the sentient, walking computer.
Hayabusa: (stilted, robotic whistling)
Laila: (shuddering) It's just so weird. It's just so weird. It simply... is so weird.
Ain't nothing like a steam in the (checks smudged writing on hand) alarmingly green bacteria-filled sauna mist?
Laila: Are you...sure you should be in here with your arm and everything?
Koichi: (gasp) it is quite literally an immutable part of me, Laila. how dare you.
Laila: you take it off at night like a shoe, you absolute ass. shut up.
(Bonnie Tyler voice) EVERY NOW AND THEN I-- (regular voice) have Xavier's parents pay attention to him.
Koichi: aren't you enjoying our time together, son?
Xavier: no.
Koichi: yeah, I remember the projects I worked on with my dad too...
Xavier: I don't care.
Koichi: like it was yesterday....
Xavier: oh my god
Really loving the fact that the only person this child can turn to in this family is a robot. This won't leave him with many an issue later.
Xavier: (laughing) did you see that, Hayabusa?
Hayabusa, in the middle of charging: ...
Xavier: haha, (tearing up) me too, bud.
Welcome to the Scooter legacy where we have... priorities...???
Koichi: shit! I nearly died in that fire!
Laila: god, Koichi, be more careful next time!
Koichi: it's a good thing I just took out that life insurance, eh?
Laila: ...on second thought...
Here, have a nice picture of the aurora going on in Evergreen Harbour, along with a side helping of me pretending I even knew what this picture was about. I don't even like the aurora. I don't even like this world. whatever
For a little bit because I was so fucking bored waiting for Laila to finish her damn degree, I tried to like...play some more of Eco Lifestyle. it didn't really work bc at the time I still ~hated~ it so yeah. Anyway here's Koichi fixing the water collector.
He did it once. gg me.
I was gonna put here something about Laila enjoying a world that her parent Damián had created blah blah blah. let's be real. I dropped the ball SO HARD on Dami's generation it's embarrassing. I can't even make it sentimental or anything. not sure what I was thinking but it's done now.
Anyway Laila jogging or whatever.
Pee yew something fucking reeks in here amirite, Scooters?
Laila: yeah, it's the fact that you've been working on this post for literally weeks and waited till the end of December 2021 to post it.
...well shit, tell us how you really feel, Laila.
Laila: I just did. I feel SHAFTED, RON
Looks like Laila is back in training, gearing up to probably punch through the screen and and suplex me herself, I imagine.
Laila: (huff) (huff) You've got THAT right, baby. Now keep typing.
Koichi: Xavier, how would you like to go to Japan at some point with us?
Xavier: I don't really have the option of going without you guys, it seems like.
Koichi: well not really but I thought I'd present you with the illusion of free will early on. you'll understand as you get older
Xavier: god--dad--I am like, fucking nine. Chill out
No but I'm actually shuddering at past Ron for thinking this was a good picture. This is supposed to capture Hayabusa jetting off on its built in rockets. I thought it just had like blue knees or some shit.
Hayabusa: Do not be fooled--I am exceeding the speed limit set inside residential homes. By one kilometre exactly. Dangerous!
Working on some crafts, Xavi?
Xavier: (scoff) some "crafts"? I'll have you know they are detailed pieces of vent art. since my parents want me to grow up so fast, I'm already in my emo teen phase. so here we are today.
Looks like Laila just had to unleash on Hayabusa one day.
Laila: ...and what's more, your joints or pistons or what fucking ever are SO goddamn loud!
Hayabusa: I'm sorry! Koichi creator recently upgraded me for high-speed punching capacity. Also known as the "instant murder" update!
Laila: instant m...okay listen. Forget I ever said anything. I'm going to ...away now. Goodbye.
Hayabusa: Goodbye!
Understandably, Hayabusa was sad after its interaction with Laila. Unfortunately, Koichi is just as emotionally unavailable to his robot son as much as his real actual son.
Koichi: that emotions upgrade is really pesky, isn't it, Hayabusa? I'll uninstall it later tonight.
Hayabusa: perhaps...perhaps that is best. whatever you think works best, Koichi creator.
Well it looks like Foxbury doesn't ~do~ remote commencement ceremonies, so Laila booked the next flight to Britechester, England, to g-g-g-g-graduate!
Just work with me. There's lore. It's there. Please.
Laila: (chuckles uncomfortably) Wow, I am so much older than everyone else here.
Laila Scooter-Kawahara has graduated!
Degree: Villainy
GPA: B+
Hey, at least it was a beautiful day back home when Laila got back from her ceremony! A nice little sendoff for her completing the capstone of her generation.
with the added benefit of FREEING ME FROM THIS DISCOVER UNIVERSITY HELL HAHAHAHAHAHAHGHHHGGHG
Koichi: with absolutely no mean overtures at all, congratulations, my love. I'm so proud of you.
Laila: thank you, Ichi. am I real adult now?
Koichi: unfortunately.
Laila: well shit. I guess I had to join you in hagdom at some point.
*＊✿❀ ❀✿＊*
holy fucking shit ass you guys. it's December. the last update I posted was in JUNE. what's wrong with me. we might never know. but anyway hope you enjoyed and I'll catch you for the final chapter of the generation hopefully soon.
