Sylvia’s fertility situation got me thinking about Tiara. She’d been able to lay her first egg before and I wondered why she wasn’t getting pregnant anymore.
Turns out, she was exploring the desert.
I returned her to the Norn terrarium and encouraged her to push norn. Before I knew it, Theo was fathering two more eggs! To celebrate, he banged on his drum as I carried Tiara away to collect her eggs.
There were two more minor illnesses between Grant and Chase. I’m glad nothing serious has spread yet, to put it mildly.
Just then, and with a little encouragement, Tiara became pregnant with her fourth and final egg. I set it with the others.
I had a new idea, though. The ladies were all done laying eggs now, as long as they were able. I decided to split up the group to make things less crowded and moved half of them into Albia.
Then, seemingly out of nowhere. Sylvia became pregnant with Rave’s child! I got so excited. After this, I got rid of the archways for now and decided to move everyone to Albia. Before I could finish , Rachael became pregnant again. At first, I thought it was a false positive since Norn Statistics didn’t show her as pregnant. Out came an egg a few minutes later and soon, she had 5 eggs to her name.
I double checked my population controls and they were still set properly.
With the eggs sorted (again) I reinstalled the Archways. The Norn Terrarium would lead to the incubation area and to the water mill, the desert to the volcano, the jungle to the swamp and the beach to, well, the beach. Now, the norns could all make it to and from the various parts of Albia without too much searching.
The age of my creatures was starting to show. My older norns have always taken to getting slap happy and this group was no exception. They already enjoyed slapping but now they acted like they had an excuse to do it.
Theo and Sylvia had an egg on the way now and Hannah had a little one on the way. Hannah’s odd limp started to look more appropriate on her old, pregnant body. After the girls laid their eggs, I stepped back and let the game run for a while. Hannah ate carrots on the forest floor while Tiara watched. Rave napped above and the mob meandered towards the volcano.
It wasn’t long before someone made their way back to the Shee Ark. Geoff became ill when he returned to the jungle. Once he was healed, he returned to the Norn Terrarium on his own and became ill again. I sprayed the door then let him wander again, hoping nothing else would disturb the peace.
I returned to Sylvia and found her limping like her sister Hannah. I eventually made the decision not to let their children carry these genes into following generations and marked her eggs for download-only, along with Hannah’s.
