Can You Hear the Violins?

This is an Ambrosia Challenge story, with a few twists and tweaks to help the story on it’s way. It started as a one-shot short story, but this challenge fitted so beautifully that I had to expand it. The Ambrosia Challenge was designed by the wonderful @CitizenErased14

Lori (our little ghost seen below) now has a penpal! Her letters are in the chapter list, but just a warning that each letter may contain spoilers. They're in the same timeline as the Ambrosia Challenge, so they've been listed according to when they take place.

Chapter 1 - Cat and Mouse

WitcHazard

Well that took a turn! Cat looks fierce I wonder how she'll react to living with not one but two ghost. I feel so sorry for Callie but on the bright side of they both become human they can be a family.

Thymeless

@WitcHazard Cat is so much fun to play and I've only just started, I've never had a kleptomaniac sim before! =p I was tempted to keep Lori as the only ghost but I didn't want to split them up - plus the rules say that only the child of the new family is able to see the ghosts, so Callie was already breaking that rule a bit too much.

Chapter 2 - Two Worlds

WitcHazard

And now the title of the story makes an appearance. I feel like all the music playing on its own is going to make Cat think she's crazy

Thymeless

@WitcHazard Quite possibly! Poor lass, she has no idea.

Marialein

I really love your start of this challenge more soon please

Thymeless

@Marialein Thank you so much! I'm so happy that you like it Currently I'm uploading every Saturday, but it may get more frequent when my legacy calms down a little

Thymeless

Next update will be a couple of days late due to the fact that a short story I'm working on has decided that it doesn't want to be short at all. I'll try to post on time next week

Thymeless

Chapter 3 - Cat and the Cad

Thank you for your patience!

cshaner

Loved this update!! So exciting that

Callie may be able to hear Cat!

Thymeless

Thank you! I'm really looking forward to exploring that more - who knows what shenanigans could happen if the two of them met.

Chapter 04 - A Different Kind of Clubbing

WitcHazard

Dons back he definitely knows at least I think he does. And Cat joining PowerHouse didn't see that coming but she does have to try and blend in. And was she ogling Marcus or just observing I get those two confused sometimes

cshaner

I love this story!!! I loved Dons remarks.

Thymeless

@WitcHazard In my mind she was just observing, but looking back it can totally be read as ogling =p And yeah, Powerhouse was unplanned. She joined the Avant Gardes, and just after that meeting ended she got an invite to join Powerhouse and I was just like 'why not?'. After all, you've got to be fit to run away from the scene of the crime =p

@cshaner I'm glad you're enjoying the Don stuff! It's very different to what I normally write, but he's quite a fun guy to figure out =p

Chapter 05 - Something Missing, Something Found

Thymeless

Chapter 06 - A New Lease on Life

Marialein

Uh Oh is there gen 2 or one depending on how you count on the way?
It is so nice that Callie helps Cat. I hope that Cat will be a great writer and that she doesn't need to fear for her home anymore.

Thymeless

@Marialein There might be... =p
And I hope so too! Especially with this new development...
(Also, for me Callie and Lori are Gen 0, Cat is Gen 1 and so on )

cshaner

I love all three of our girls!!

So anxious to hear more about Blue Blade the pirate. (Totally more respectable than a common thief says Lori!)

Thymeless

I love them too! They're all so different, but somehow it works.
And yeah, totally more respectable =p

WitcHazard

Blue Blade is a cool name I hope we learn more about her! Also I smell nooboos!

Thymeless

NOOBOOOOOOOOOS Hopefully not three - that was difficult enough with my legacy =p And I'm so glad! It's hard to come up with a good pirate nickname!

cshaner

Well you have to have a color and a pirate feature so Blue Blade works! Red Beard, Black Beard, Green Patch (ok I may have made up that last one! Haha)
