It turns out I’m an incredible idiot and left the game running for another 10 minutes before I closed it. I tried to close without saving but apparently autosave beat me to it.

Anyway, at this point, Pilot is 24 minutes old and he and Persephone both have interestingly colored legs.

Pilot’s taken to following Persephone around and they both have a habit of expressing themselves.

Enough putting it off, though. Time to introduce our next male.

Meet Errol.

This little guy quickly learned his words and his lessons would start soon.

He learned to rest on his own and eating came naturally though I had to encourage him to make sure his behaviors set in. He seemed to spend more time playing with the robot toy but he seemed happy all the same.

It was time to move Persephone, though. She started feeling friendly so we headed to Aquanornia. As Persephone explored her new home, the boys took turns teaching each other lessons. It was nice to relax for once and not have to worry about the new baby with Pilot helping to care for him.

I gave Persephone the Super Food Vendor and she quickly learned to push it to get food. I was pretty happy with this. It wasn’t long before she blossomed into a beautiful adult, though.

With Persephone finally making it to adulthood, it was a waiting game. Pilot would be the first male to reach adult hood so he would likely have the most eggs to his name.

When will the first eggs come? Stay tuned!

Persephone was nearly ready to be left on her own to grow up and learn. I decided that once she was 20 minutes old, it would be time to let her explore the Meso on her own and maybe teach the two boy norns with me.

She was feeling lonely and I couldn’t seem to pet her enough to make her feel less bad so I took her to the workshop to meet the puppet. She pushed it around a bit and soon it was time to go back.

She still seemed to do all of the things she was supposed to – resting when she’s tired or sleepy, eating her food instead of hitting it, pushing it or running from it. It was nice to have one on one time for once.

Our bonding time would be interrupted, though. Pilot, our first boy, was imported into the game.

His first lesson was to rest when he was tired and he picked up on it quickly. As they both rested, Persephone became an adolescent and actually seemed content not to spend all of her time with the toddler.

Soon, they both felt lonely and I advised them to meet. Pilot still hadn’t learned not to play with his food but they needed some time to meet. Once they had an eyefull, they walked off on their own and I taught Pilot some table manners. He at least knows to eat now though I’m not sure he’s made a connection between his drives and his food yet. Neither of them seemed particularly hungry so there wasn’t much I could do. Hoverdoc even came to tell me the same thing.

Oh well. Tomorrow we’ll hopefully be introducing our next male and we’ll be able to put Persephone in the water.

Before I could try out my Pearlmaid World Concept, I needed to set up the world.

As much as I would love to incorporate the IQ test into this concept world, I’d still rather look at each creature one at a time. I would like to investigate the genes of every creature that comes out of my little venture. Anyway.

I set up a small egg area on the rightmost underwater platform in Aquanornia. Norns can’t reach this spot so I thought it would be perfect. It would also prevent norns form hatching without my influence so I could keep the generations separated.

I made the ‘beach’ where our matriarchs would lay their eggs more cozy as well. The addition of grass, a shack and some food would hopefully make them more comfortable. They would need it given they would be laying so many eggs at a time.

Now that everything was set up (and all of our bacteria were killed) it was time to introduce our first creatures.

I got Muco to lay two males and one female. As they hatched, I put the boys away for import later and decided to have some one on one time with Persephone. As a generation 1 norn, I didn’t expect her to have any mutations. I gave her a white tiara and taught her all of her lessons.

Resting when she was tired was first and she learned quickly. It was difficult to tell with the graphics, but she definitely got the idea. At just 6 minutes old, she was able to eat on her own and rest when she was tired.

Not only was she quick to learn, she was also pretty sweet. I was starting to remember why I kept these guys as pets and companions. I taught her not to hit, push or pull her food and soon, she was a sleep. As it was after midnight, I took it as a sign and it was time for bed.
