Chapter 2- Saraphina Workin'


Week 2- 4
Another promotion, finally. After having the weekend off, that Monday Saraphina got to level 3- Paramedic. Week two is starting well. 

Except for... well, after work, Saraphina had to take her experimental pill. At least she gets paid for it, she needed money to keep building...

  ....+95 credits- she feels fine.

On her way home from a long and tiring day, Saraphina notices all the privileged Sims out on the town. Some have power and position in the Corporation, which felt wrong. She wants to make it better for Everyone if she can.

Promotion to L5, Medical Intern~Wednesday. Her dried sweat felt like a film of grime on her skin... she wasn't allowed to use the Hospital shower facilities- yet.
'One day,' she thinks 'one day I'll get showers and good water for everyone.' 
The next day she was handed a pager and put on Call. 
"Be ready to come to work at any time," her boss said.
Great, over worked, stressed out, and smelly, Saraphine sighed and went home.
She called her friend, Vin, from work. They talked about all kinds of things which really helped release all of her stress. She even had fun just talking~ 'friends can be lifesavers,' she thought.
Saraphina was starting to bring home her study books. She was getting into the more technical side, she wanted to be ready.

 All her hard work and studying was paying off- Saraphina became a Resident. She felt happy if only for that moment, her dream was another step closer.
Showers, fresh water, hot and running water...

She was so tired of all the hand washing...

She never forgot to pay the Corporate taxes on all the new stuff she bought. With the money she was making, she did have a few more nicer things.

Yes, it's fun to make a mess! =]

Another pill before her evening sandwich.

Saturday, Robert and Mags Newbie invited her over to visit. She was hoping to chat with them and clear this mess up.  She had not received a missive about anything new.
Yet no one would say anything and she wouldn't talk in front of a young Bob.


On Sunday Saraphina got called into work, thankfully it was a quick job. She arrived home, took her daily pill which caused a violent upchuck. Yet Saraphina felt better after, which was a relief. 


Luckily she did because Robert Newbie visited. She invited him to sit and he took a chair at the chess table...
"I wanted you to know, Bob has grown up. He's on the Corporate list for his career and will be ready to marry whenever you're ready."
"I'm sure he's a great guy and everything, I even like the kid.." Saraphina started to say.
 "Young Adult," Robert added quickly.
"Okay, young adult but I don't know anything about a match. When I reach the top of my career I've been told I'll get permission to marry and have children. Until then I have other things to worry about."
"He's fascinated with you."
"He's young, I'm sure he'll get over it soon."

They quit talking and played chess. She beat him in 12 moves, he politely said goodbye and left for home.

Her good work on the on call patient earned her a promotion to Trauma Surgeon.


Saraphina studied, thinking about young Bob Newbie. She heard the girls at work talking about him being placed in Career. Culinary, hm....
