Hello! Since Andrea and Jim had their little ones, I retired them to the Biodome and played with the new babies.

babyWith these two growing up and settling into the Norn Terrarium, I opted to investigate their genetics.

desertTrent, besides being non-CFE had no significant differences from the original Treehugger genome.

Hermione, like Treant, had no particularly interesting mutations either, at least not when I skimmed over Gene Compare.

That said, she is a Magma mix and was drawn to the heat of the ettin desert. Trent was more inclined to stay in the Norn Terrarium and eat seeds.

Jim and Andrea spent more time together in the Biodome but it still took some coaxing to get them to start playing nice.

Thankfully, I was having better luck with Trent and Hermione.

Soon they had two babies of their own and they seemed to take strongly after their father.

babiesHere are the babies! Soon one of them would be sent to Norn XXL for the next round but I wanted to spend more time with Hermione, Trent, Jim and Andrea. As I updated the blog, there was a tragedy.

deadHermione, unfortunately, passed away due to bacterial infection. To help him cope with his grief, I sent him to live with his parents in the Biodome.

As you might know, I’ve gotten a decent computer in my possession again. That said, I’m giving Pearlmaids a much, MUCH bigger space to live in. That said, I had to come up with new ways to encourage females to lay eggs outside of water. Naturally, that called for Coral Emitters. After polluting the world with wildlife, portals, doors, toys and more, it was time to select the creatures for this new world. Oh. Yes. I decided to start with a fresh population of Colortrue norns. :3

Now, instead of starting with three like I did the last time, I’ll be starting with 14(!). Yes. Fourteen. I’ll be adding one male and one female of each of the available colors. Let’s meet them!

bandicam 2013-09-16 22-00-02-341Here they are! Thanks to Amaikokonut’s New Shortcuts, it was a breeze to get them all to pose this way. I taught them language with the Vocabulizer and Soon, they were off!

bandicam 2013-09-16 22-00-57-079I could already tell that this would be an interesting world. Cerulean (blue female) was the first out of the Meso and took a brief nap in the hallway. Soon, Vincent (green male) followed her, then Raul(yellow male)! Actually, they all seemed interested in exploring but no one really committed to their new location. Soon, I felt a headache coming on from the sound of them using the Torii.

After what felt like an hour of door pushing, the babies had become adolescents (only 24 mintues old) and they were starting to change. That said, I needed a break from “Breeen-bree-bree-bree-breeeeeen~”.

bandicam 2013-09-16 22-19-32-328In the desert things were getting out of hand. There wasn’t much I could do but eliminate ALL of the butterflies but I’d rather have an excess of them than none at all.

bandicam 2013-09-16 22-19-36-819 The roses on the beach were in full bloom. Thankfully.

bandicam 2013-09-16 22-19-38-820The right side of the Aquarium was full of life (and food) for once. It was nice to have a reef. But speaking of reefs.

bandicam 2013-09-16 22-19-42-539The left side had much of the same wild life! But the reef doesn’t stop here.

bandicam 2013-09-16 22-20-02-501And in the Devil’s Reef we find- wait. Are those… Aubergines? 😛

bandicam 2013-09-16 22-30-06-221When I returned, I was still pretty sick of the sound of the Torii being activated so to drive the norns out, I filled the Meso with bees.

It started to seem like mission accomplished though I had a new job on my hands for the future. That’s unrelated, though. Now that all the babies were about a half hour old, I had to keep an eye out for eggs. I’m borrowing Jessica of Discover Albia’s idea and making the first female to mate the alpha for the next generation.

Given a White Tiara

Goldie was the first to lay an egg, closely followed by Violette. As I removed the Torii and their respective CA links and replaced them with elevines. (They want to travel to new waters? They can walk.)

More pregnancies followed and it looked like soon I would have my hands full with eggs. Those would have to wait til after this generation passed away so I at least had a lot of time to mull over what to do with them. Yes, they were all laid on land. Instead of removing all of the females but Goldie, however, I decided to leave the eggs and sort them later. Goldie’s daughters and all the boys would continue their legacy in my game and the others would be distributed to anyone who wanted them. Why aren’t I just chucking out extra eggs? Last time, I didn’t have such good luck as far as their genes go.

I haven’t worked out every detail yet, but we’ll see. I’m kind of winging it as I go this time. Well. We’ll figure out some more next time.

Surely you guys remember Jim and Andrea from… well. A while ago now. Right?

bandicam 2013-09-16 15-39-22-871They haven’t changed much (being frozen in time, after all) but what’s this?

bandicam 2013-09-16 15-39-15-548Could this be a FULL Favorite places bar? Why, it is! And the game isn’t lagging a bit! This can only mean one thing. I got my old PC setup back!

Yup. I’m back in business!

That said, our two Treehuggers now have a much bigger area to explore. It seemed like they were more comfortable living in the Norn Terrarium and soon Andrea was pregnant.bandicam 2013-09-16 16-36-10-092It seemed like soon I would have my first baby to send to Norn_XXL. Soon, a little cow-marked egg appeared. Then another egg appeared and hatched while I made a sandwich.

bandicam 2013-09-16 16-58-05-344Meet our little lovelies! I’ve exported them to send to Norn_XXL. Bye little ones!

Once I packed the little ones away, their mother and father decided it would be a good idea to try cliff diving from the second floor of the Norn Terrarium and followed with slap fighting. Oh my. :C

bandicam 2013-09-16 17-07-23-328I separated them but soon they were slapping each other again. Oh dear. :C Andrea actually came out of the fight with woundedness so I thought it best to separate them for a short while. Maybe next time Jim will be in a more favorable mood. :C

Whoo it’s been getting hotter and hotter and I’m really suffering from all this warmth. While playing Creatures doesn’t keep my cool (the computer warms the room ever so minutely) it does help me keep distracted but lately I’ve just been unable to drum up the energy to get up and go to the PC, especially after cleaning and starting my new workout regiment.

bandicam 2013-09-03 14-44-11-390That said, I do miss playing Creatures and Norn XXL offered to start trading creatures with me! How nice! I sent him two norns after he sent me my two and out of the .zip I got two educated Generation 1 Treehugger Norns. At this point, they were both about 29 or 30 minutes old.

They seemed to be doing well in the Meso but I decided to add Terra: Reborn and even set up a rose bush to grow in the Spring. Things were going great and the norns ate happily. There was doom lurking around the corner, though.

bandicam 2013-09-04 10-15-19-765Before long, there was a pair of banshee grendels in the Workshop. I activated Creature Crossbreeding so maybe, if the Grendels are feeling favorable, they’ll end up making friends with the Treehuggers or making interesting offspring.

The two grendels didn’t seem to know that they could leave via the door up top so I headed back to Terra.

bandicam 2013-09-04 10-39-17-546

I found the two Treehuggers huddled around the heater I placed after they complained about the cold. They had toys all around them and the rose bush was in bloom. There was a lull in activity from the norns so I opted to check on the Grendels. I found that soon our little lull might be interrupted.
