Starting Norns Generation 3

by ⋅ Leave a Comment

It’s been too long since I visited these guys so it’s about time I did this. Naturally, I’d spent time with the grendels already so it was time to visit with the new, baby norns.

Meet little Bianca!

She’s the daughter of Theo and Tiara. Technically, she is a generation 2 norn BUT she’s a member of the Generation 3 group.

She’s half CFE norn, half… not.

He’s Bianca’s full brother so he’s also half CFE, half standard bengal genome. Looks like he’s wearing PJs, doesn’t he?

Like his sister, he’s also technically a generation 2 norn. So far so good! We have two healthy baby norns.

Next to join us was Sparrow! Yes, I’ve definitely had Fable II on the mind.

Like his siblings, he’s half CFE, half standard genome so it’s hard to tell what genes are mutated and which aren’t.

Charity is their half sister! Instead of Theo, her father is Cheddar so she actually is a generation 3 norn.

Unfortunately, she didn’t live for very long. So far, I’ve had two babies die of genetic disorders so far and one of them died just seconds after she hatched (so I couldn’t grab her .creature file).

This was a bit of a hiccup. I wanted to start with 4 norns. Naturally, I had to pick another.

I had to include Pennywhistle. She was part of spykkie’s wolfing run!

She’s a Generation 1 vanilla Bengal norn. I’d like to feature the other norns from this wolfing run but probably just one or two at a time.

In just 10 minutes, everyone was a child and old enough to be in the Norn Terrarium.

Everyone was eating, playing and smacking each other in the norn terrarium now. It didn’t take long for two of them to get sick, though.

Some anti-bacterial spray had them sorted out and soon they joined the others.

We’ll get to know our little norns next time!

Bouncing Baby Girl!

by ⋅ Leave a Comment

When I returned, AppleJack was sick, but a few lemons and carrots later, she was smiling at me again.

I wasn’t having much luck getting Patrick to eat, though. Like Godfried, he spent much of his time holding the carrot, unsure what to do with it.

Penny got sick, too and complained about feeling hot. She recovered quickly so I can only assume that she just ate a weed.

There was a lull of activity. Patrick played with the elevators on the island, AppleJack watched the fish in the lighthouse swim, Penny kept the grendel company and Godfried stomped through the swamp carrots, occasionally eating with my advice.

Now that everyone was happy and healthy, I decided it was time to introduce Godfried’s new sibling.

Meet Candice, everyone!

REACTIONS
231  40   0 Emb   B MutDupCut   2*Antigen5 + 1*Glucose => 1*Antibody5 + 1*Hotness; half-life = 88.

Like her brother before her, the half life in this reaction is slower than in the original genome. Whether it’s beneficial or not has yet to be seen!

Recovering from the Plague

by ⋅ 4 Comments

Now that everyone had recovered from the plague, they were taking a vacation on the island. The only norn who didn’t get sick, AppleJack, was hanging out with the bees. Fun fact. AppleJack maintained a health of about 90% during the plague!

It didn’t take long for AppleJack to decide to join the rest of her family on the island. It also didn’t take her long to change her mind and decide to head back to the waterfall, though!

With the others on the bridge, I took the opportunity to snap this photo of AppleJack.

Penny and Godfried flirted on the island while Patrick worked on making a new friend and AppleJack explored the lighthouse and falls. By now, AppleJack had proven to be the most independent norn.

Soon, though, Penny was pregnant with her first egg! Godfried slept on the bridge after his achievement (and after some slapping from Penny after more unwanted advances).

Penny took care to feed herself but Godfried seemed to be having trouble eating on his own. As if on queue, Penny came up to distract him some more, and then our Grendel friend stopped by to say hello and congratulate the happy couple.

Now, there were two eggs under the garden.

There was still one egg left to hatch. Does Godfried have another brother or a sister? Do Penny and Godfried have a boy or a girl?

More next time!

AFK Wolfing Run Part 5

by ⋅ 2 Comments

Soon enough, Alfreda was pregnant with her 3rd egg!

She’s making quite a name for herself already! She likes to stay in the jungle but so far, the farthest the boys have strayed is to the garden. It seems like most of the girls would rather wander and all the boys are… lazy.

She did get pregnant a fourth time some hours later but this nearly slipped my radar. And a fifth! And a sixth! The game seemed to be dragging on for the rest of the day and the only thing bringing me back was the sound of kiss popping. Just then I had an idea.

Meet figgy, my lady grendel. I decided she could keep fig company.

I left everyone alone while I made dinner just to come back and see that everyone had died and no norns had taken their place.

Turns out Eggonicer had glitched and it was depositing the eggs into the comms room. With no food, all the creatures were dying while I was away.
