In which there is a schism

Avatar of Jumbuk must keep up strength. Nummy pork chops! Make more pork chops, slave!

Celestina and Celina began helping at Dance!, as the club had reached level 10 and was absolutely packed between the hours of 9:00 pm and 5:00 am. Understandably, the teens could only work during the weekends, and the family had to change the bar offerings to juice-only. Many of Vista View's newly grown teens started frequenting the club.
Celestina found one patron incredibly interesting. His name was Lucas, and he was human. This fact angered Celina to no end.

"Have you forgot what that harlot Erica was trying to do? Split us up! And now you're entertaining some older man who is definitely planning the same sort of thing!"

"He's doing no such thing, Celina. Besides, I want a family."

"You have a family!"

"I want one that doesn't come from a probe, dammit."
The college education that Bastion and Brionna were denied due to lack of funds was fully within reach for the current generation, considering that the family was now sitting on a bank account the size of a small town's yearly budget. Celina started her four years at Prospect University, in the dorms. Her room was spacious, if a bit cookie-cutter since she didn't deem to decorate or even bring a different set of sheets.
Unfortunately, living in the dorms meant that Celina had to put up with a huge number of humans every day. If Jumbuktu could see these conditions! She tried to keep away from their poisoning influence as much as possible, at least separating herself from the crowd during required group work.

Celestina took nearly the opposite tactic once she got to college, seeking out her fellow students at every opportunity, and inviting Lewis over for a bit of slow dancing by the campus band's stage.
"I swear, Celestina! Did you learn nothing from what happened to my father? Humans will only play with your emotions to get what they want, then drop you once they tire of you."

"Celina. Bastion broke up with Erica, not the other way around."

"Because she tricked him."

"Whatever. Lucas loves me."
Celina could accept Celestina's refusal to worship Jumbuktu. She could accept her Family ways. After all, weren't their parents Pleasure sims, which are ten times more flighty than Family sims? But consorting with a human? Allowing him to pinch her tush in public? That was disgusting and unacceptable.

"Daddy, I'm so mad at her. I can't even explain it. She's so....she's so....arrgh!"
