Category Archives: Creatures 3/ds Worlds

If you’ve read my bibble on CCaves, you might know that my neighbor has a nest of bees living in his house. They hover around the front door and we think they might be in his air conditioner. Seeing as we have an orange tree and lemon tree in our yards, I’m honestly afraid to go outside, especially out to the front yard where they gather nectar from our orange blossoms.

That said, there’s nothing for me to do today but finish indoor chores and play video games. My computer is still kaput so… Creatures.

When last we left off in our C3/DS world, Penny had just become an oldster and Dynasty a pre-teen.

Since there was still some time left before little Dynasty would have babies of her own, I added some color to the game.

The boys have leaves and the ladies have tiaras. The next thing I knew, though, I had three old norns on my hands!

With age comes character and wisdom, you know.

They slowed their pace quite a bit, naturally. Resting and eating were their only activities but Charles, who was still full of life, managed to impregnate Dynasty. We had our fifth egg and now it looks like Godfrey won’t be fathering every egg for this generation. He almost did, having sired 4 of our 5 eggs so far!

Now that Dynasty was the mother of one of his children, Charles didn’t leave her side. That said, he was the natural choice to be the father of her next and final baby.

Dynasty finally became an adult at just over an hour old. PennyWhistle had become ancient at 4 hours, 41 mintues and I knew her time would run out soon. Was she a Gizmo norn? I don’t know for sure but I’m glad she got to enjoy her life here.

With activity slowing down again, I decided to export the new babies.

Rather than continue with the next generation, I would finish this one out and start a new group of norns.

Slowly, but surely, this group would be closing the last chapters of their lives soon, though Dynasty would be in the rear.

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.

I don’t know what that’s supposed to mean. But I’m listening to the Yogscast Farming Simulator donation thing from this winter.

Anyway.

Back in our C3/DS world, the norns all gathered in Terra Reborn.

Despite already having as many children as he was allowed, Godfrey still pursued the ladies. By now I was sure his strange limp would make it into the next generation but he wasn’t badly affected. Oh well.

I was starting to get bored so, naturally, I had to introduce a hazard to the game: beeeees. Namely, Stingers!

Almost immediately, the two ladies had gotten themselves stung. Bianca was the first to start wandering towards the angry nest and Pennywhistle, always standing by her friend Bianca, was next to be stung.

The boys kept away and Godfrey took to watching one of the nests from a safe distance.

Soon, there was another problem. It seemed as though everyone had forgotten to eat.

As I’m in a bad sort of mood now, I’m going to cut this one super short. I can’t write a good blog entry if I’m not in a good mood. ;D

Godfrey has been busy.

He’s claimed Pennywhistle’s second egg and Bianca’s first. It seems he’ll have a pretty strong influence when the next generation comes. I hoped mating with this first gen and 2nd gen female would help eliminate his crazy walk but we’ll have to see.

After the ladies laid their eggs, there was a long period where nothing happened. Bianca still had one egg left to lay and all of the boys were finally old enough to breed. It wasn’t long til Bianca broke away from her friend Penny long enough to start chasing down one of the boys.

At first, she was chasing little Charles but it was Godfrey who started kiss-popping first. It only seemed natural that Godfrey would lay claim to this last egg. With the eggs safely stowed in some water (to keep them from hatching, y’know.) It was time for their personalities to finally shine.

Penny took to complaining about cold though she was the only one shivering. The two girls seemed inseparable and Godfrey was only interested in the females. He would occasionally join the other boys to eat but mating was his priority. There wasn’t much chatter after the ladies laid their eggs so I spruced the place up with Garden box.

It wasn’t long til I started to see signs of senility. Oscar was the first to complain about hunger for starch despite being surrounded by seeds. I smacked him once on the butt when he ignored my commands to eat seeds and soon he was eating every seed in sight. Once he did, he was feeling much better and started to explore the room again. Love is both carrot and stick.
