Leila wants to become a fairy and is saving money for surgery. She is worried about her future at the residential facility where she lives, which only has two remaining residents. Leila gets pregnant illegally and accelerates the pregnancy against the rules. The twins are placed in foster care. Abhijeet uses magic to resurrect Leila, and she has no memory of the past two weeks. He gives her fairy wings, and they have a happy ending.

1. Oh! You scared me! Well, welcome back to The Jack Point Home
for Pedestrian Playables, a Residential Facility for People with
Psychological Differences Challenge!
Our playable, Leila Shankel, wants to become a fairy, or at least to
have fairy wings surgically implanted. Since this costs a lot of
money, she is currently working two jobs and saving up. Leila is
worried about her future, and with good reason. There are only two
living residents left, and she has yet to be promoted. Not to
mention that inconvenient development from last time...
Which I believe is all you need to know to be able to follow along!

2. Last time, I left you with an image that probably made you say
“Wait! What’s going on? How did that happen? Isn’t that against
the rules?”

3. Well, it’s a baby bump, acquired in the usual way, one presumes.
And yes, it is very much against the rules. Fortunately, the whole
fiasco happened on Leila’s day off.

4. When I say “the whole fiasco,” I really do mean the whole thing,
thanks to a highly illegal pregnancy-and-babyhood accelerator
Leila was able to get her hands on.
Since nothing about this situation is challenge-legal, I figured it
was okay. I have Plot to develop for other of my stories.*
*Ruth’s (un)Officially Wacky Boolprop Challenge and Already in Progress, to
be precise.

5. Aside from the whole illegal-and-illegally-
accelerated pregnancy thing, it was a fairly normal
day off at the asy -- at the residential facility.
Leila restocked the fridge while Joe scavenged in
the trash.

6. Both Joe and Jeffina took sponge baths despite the
presence of a fully functioning and actually-clean-
for-once tub-and-shower combo upstairs.
Jeffina bathes a lot, come to think of it. I suppose
she’s one of a new line of waterproof robots?

7. And Joe discovered his purpose in life.
JOE: Oooh! Oooh! I’ve got it, Professor! I can get myself and
everyone else out of here in one piece if I have two hundred
separate and distinct visits from you. Is that right? Did I figure out
out the answer?

8. The professor apparently answered in the
affirmative, because Joe wasted no time in
beginning to fulfill his mission.

9. Or at least Joe was dedicated to his mission
until he discovered a more important one. It
consists of four steps:
1. Stompy-wave and complain about not being
able to get to the refrigerator.
2. Complain about being hungry.
3. Cheer for Jeffina, who is playing the piano.
4. Repeat from Step 1.

10. Eventually, Joe got tired and turned over stompy-waving and
whining duties to Jeffina, who did her level best. And that was
where things stood when Leila got home at four p.m.

11. The first thing Leila did was order a pizza…
LEILA: Yes, a super extra large deep dish with double everything,
stat!

12. …before cleaning up the offending instant meal.
LEILA: There, Jeffina, it’s gone. You can get to the fridge. You
know, you could have done this exact thing any time you wanted
to.
JEFFINA: Does not compute! Routing error!
LEILA: (sigh) Well, maybe you’ll remember for next time, okay?

13. Joe and Jeffina ignored the pizza in favor of feeding themselves.
Jeffina, at least, had some excuse, since she cooked herself a meal
from the previously blocked fridge. Joe, on the other hand, had the
nasty green and buzzing instant meal that had been on the counter
all day.
Which he got to via a route that had been clear all day.
Leila seemed to give up on the two of them just as much as I did,
since she used the toilet, changed into her regular clothes, and sat
down to play the piano.

14. And that would be the point where I lost the challenge.

15. Since I’d lost anyway, I figured why not try to resurrect Leila?
After all, she’s got a family who love her very much.

16. …Aaaand that worked about as well as you’d think it would.
The moral of the story, boys and girls, is don’t cheat whilst playing
an asyl -- a residential facility for people with psychological
differences challenge.

21. What -- you didn’t think that was the end, did you? With all those
loose ends? No, I like to wrap things up.

22. There was a little problem to be resolved -- or two, really. You see,
Leila hadn’t told anyone about her illegal-and-illegally-accelerated
pregnancy, so nobody knew who the babies belonged to. When
questioned, Joe said the stork brought them while he was asleep.
Jeffina announced that they were hers, but since she then added
that she’d built them on a workbench, she was not believed.
Logically, that left Leila as a potential parent, and if it wasn’t for
multiple witnesses who swore (accurately enough) that she hadn’t
been pregnant any time in the preceding week, custody might have
been granted to Leila’s sister Rose, or possibly even to Abhijeet.
However, since Leila’s maternity seemed physically unlikely, the
twins were instead placed in foster care.

23. Foster care was (very briefly) the house of Leila’s sister Phoebe,
since Phoebe was connected to both Leila and the orphanage
through her sorority sister Catherynne, who runs it. Not that
Phoebe’s house was an ideal situation, as it was full to bursting,
what with Phoebe; her husband Chant; Chant’s daughter; Phoebe
and Chant’s son; and Chant’s mother, aunt, and grandfathers. The
children were only there for a few hours, until Catherynne and her
husband Douglas Wheeler were able to pick them up. Since Phoebe
was prostrate with grief, Chant handed the kids over.
You can read more about them in the Wheeler family segments of
Already in Progress.

24. As for the other two inhabitants of the asy -- residential facilty,
they remained in the house at their own request. Since Joe was a
voluntary admit with no official diagnosis beyond “likes to wear a
pink gorilla suit,” the authorities had no grounds to remove him. In
an unexpected twist, Joe and Jeffina experienced swoopy harp
sound effects in (where else?) the bathroom. Presumably, they
lived happily ever after.
I personally was quite cross that my least favorite residents were
the only ones to survive, and I don’t plan to keep up with them.

25. Finally, I believe I mentioned in one of the related shorts that
Abhijeet is a brujo*: a man who can use magic. Now, if you are a
reasonably powerful brujo, and if the woman you loved has just
died, do you think that you’re very likely to sit on your hands?
Neither was Abhijeet.
Okay, so he used a Bone Phone, but they don’t give those to just
anybody, you know.
*Pronounced more-or-less like “BREW-hoe.” Because I get to pick what
words I use and I like brujo better than warlock, that’s why.

26. Abhijeet wasted no time in proposing, and Leila wasted even less
in accepting. To add to the happy ending, Leila’s lifebar has been
reset with no loss of skill points, meaning she’s only two cuts away
from permaplat.
Not that it matters anymore.

27. ABHIJEET: Please don’t get mad at me again, but now you’re out
of that place, we really have to talk about this.
LEILA: “Again”? I’ve never been mad at you.
ABHIJEET: Um, yes, you have. We had a big fight last week about
how you wouldn’t leave and you wouldn’t let me help you.
LEILA: I don’t remember fighting with you at all.
ABHIJEET: No? Uh… What’s the last thing you remember?
LEILA: You kissed me for the very first time.* But you said you
could help me? How could you possibly help me more than you
already have?
*This points to retrograde amnesia covering about two weeks, since that
happened on Day Four.

28. ABHIJEET: Like this.

29. LEILA: Squeeeeeeee! Fairy wings! Oh, Abhijeet, you’re the best
guy I could ever ask for!

30. So you see, it’s a happy ending after all. You can read more about
Leila and Abhijeet in Already in Progress, if you are so inclined.
Thank you for joining me in this challenge! Until we meet again,
Happy Simming!
