This is Belle, the daughter of Scandalous Laborer and Lowly Adjustment.
She took to eating tubas and seeds right away and I just watched her pull carrots out of the ground without eating them for a little while. She didn’t seem at all interested in the HLM. Even with all my coaxing, she just didn’t want to press it.
Finally, when she was 5 minutes old, she pressed it.
Next up was Cheddar. Son of Five Cheese and Lowly Adjustment. Like his half sister Belle, he wasn’t interested in the HLM at all. It still didn’t take as long as his sister to push the button, but I was feeling impatient.
Last, but certainly not least, was Grant. The son of Sour Drink and Loving Wren.
He and Cheddar got on pretty well, right from the get go. Since they spent all of their time eating and resting, I checked on the others while they grew.
Belle, surprisingly, was the first norn to leave the terrarium as a child. She butted uselessly against the force field so I left her to her thing and checked on the others. Good for her for exploring, though!
I found Hanna in the jungle terrarium, sleeping near a kobold. She wasn’t sick so I let her eat the seeds and explore. Just then, Timber came in to eat chili peppers and they both started telling me how much they loved me. It soon stopped when they rested for a nap.
Except for these three, all of the other norns were in the safety of the Norn Terrarium or in the Norn Meso.
It wasn’t long til Timber became sick and I fed him cough syrup and disinfected him. He was returned to the Norn Terrarium after he decided that pushing the medicine dispenser was fun.
Belle was still butting against the force field so I asked what she was doing. “eat machinery” I slapped her on the rump and hoped she would return to the norn terrarium. Instead, she started butting against the force field on the other side.
Soon, Grant and Cheddar were old enough to join the others but before I could celebrate, Rave became sick with Antigen 5. He was at injury level 3 because of his reaction to the antigen, but I knew he would be fine soon. Next, Mary became ill. There were no antigens in her body. I returned Mary and Rave to the Norn Terrarium to find Rachael slapping poor Cheddar furiously. I slapped her on the rump and dragged her away.
Like the others, I took her away for some retraining.
Meanwhlie, Mary became pregnant with Timber’s child. I led her away to lay her egg away from the others. I scooped it up and got ready to introduce our last two norns.
