With the game coming to a screeching halt, I really had to do something to pick up the activity again.
I picked out a little girl named Dynasty. She is the daughter of Belle and Cheddar and it shows! She took her legs and body from her mother, her face and tail from her father and her civet arms from both of her parents! She certainly looks interesting.
Soon she was a child and eating on her own. Most of the norns took to resting instead of exploring by now and actually stuck to the uppermost level of the room. Oscar and Dynasty were the only exceptions. They stayed by the middle level of Terra: Reborn and ate.
The norns started to complain about feeling bored so, naturally, I had to start scattering toys. I grabbed the Star-spawn plushies and dropped them in the norns’ favorite spots. Everyone was given a lesson in eating again and soon, they were pushing everything again.
Sooner or later (sadly, it was sooner) one of my norns would move on to a late stage of their life and Pennywhistle was the first to become old. At 3 hours, 54 minutes, her hair had greyed.
Dynasty, on the other hand, was now an adolescent. Soon, she would help usher in the next two babies for our next generation.
