bandicam 2015-02-02 10-20-24-506 copyOh, Creatures 2. I’m oft reminded why I don’t visit this game too often.

After pushing themselves up against the door for a while, Clarise managed to fall through the floor again and I had to rescue her with Pick Me Up.

Jonathan continued to dance against the door and I eventually had to push him away myself. When Jonathan, Clarise and Jenny all returned to the door, I decided to go back to Donny to check on him. With any luck, he wouldn’t be wall bonking quite so badly as the others.

bandicam 2015-02-02 10-25-49-140 copyWhen I found him, he was having a snooze by the carrots near the water wheel and seemed very happy when he finally woke up. Clarise meanwhile managed to get pregnant again. I quickly scooped up her egg and placed it near the incubator, where WolfCtrl ensured it would stay paused.

bandicam 2015-02-02 10-38-27-893 copySoon, Jonathan was starving, and I had to teach him to eat roots, like carrots. We argued for a while about what to do with the root. He kept insisting on running from it and pushing the carrot, but an unfortunate string of slaps soon had him putting the carrot in his mouth and chewing.

When Clarise fell through the floor a third time, I decided to just put her by the water wheel with Jonathan and Jenny. She was starving now, too and needed to learn a lesson about edible roots. Unfortunately, the message never seemed to get across. And, honestly, the whole experience was so frustrating, I had to keep myself from just slapping her to death. She seemed to want to starve anyway.

I couldn’t have been more happy to see that the Norns couldn’t get back into the volcano. Of course, none of the Norns looked happy, especially Clarise who’d just become pregnant again! It turns out I had to teach everyone to eat roots, which the carrots were classified as. Once that was settled, the Norns all seemed a lot happier, if still a bit tired.

bandicam 2015-01-08 23-57-01-164 copyAfter Clarise laid her egg something very unusual happened. She got slapped through the floor!

Mind, this wasn’t a terrible experience for her, but watching her fall through the floor was more than a little surprising for me! I rescued her with PickMeUp and set her among her friends again.

I did my rounds and everyone seemed to be in good health. A few of the norns started using “foo” in place of another word, so I used the Instant Vocabulary Infuser to touch up their vocabularies. Maybe the new Ettin was teaching them words?

In any case, I was starting to think they all had OHSS. No body was eating, nobody was resting – they all just sort of stopped taking care of themselves. Then again, this wasn’t really any different from Creatures 1.

bandicam 2015-01-09 00-16-10-199 copyClarise became pregnant again and continued to refuse to eat. She seemed very happy, though!

Considering the way these two looked at each other and the way they seemed to only breed with each other, it seemed like they would be a pretty monogamous couple! At least, as far as Creatures go.

bandicam 2015-01-08 23-37-41-322 copyThis is Gruff. He’s one of two non-Norn creatures I have in this world. The other, of course, is an Ettin.

Gruff’s an introspective, sad guy, which makes me sad. He got stuck in the yellow life boat and I had to rescue him from his position. When he was freed, he was basically left to his own devices for a little while. At least, until I found him on the bridge.

While the Norns did their own thing for a while, I decided to follow Gruff around and get to know him.

bandicam 2015-01-08 23-42-08-800 copyAt first, he wasn’t sure what to do with the top I brought him. He just stared at it and then tried to run away. I didn’t think he’d played with any toys at this point so it wasn’t too surprising. Once he did play with it a little, he was back to watching the weather.

It was actually sort of difficult to draw his attention away from the clouds. I even had a little difficulty getting him to eat. He just seemed like a quiet, somewhat lonesome guy. I’m glad I took a few minutes to tend a few of his needs.

bandicam 2015-01-08 22-45-37-628 copyVictory! I finally did it! This is actually the first time I’ve ever collected all of the power ups in this game through legitimate means. Of course, I couldn’t do it without the help of Jonathan and Clarise.

I knew sooner or later, they’d have trouble getting food in this little incubation area and i had to separate them all to feed them. Things were a lot less busy now that I’d collected the power ups so I moved on to my next goal – moving the norns to the foresty village next to the swamp.

This proved to be one of the most tedious things I’d ever done and, of course, I ended up having to use PickMeUp to do it – the norns just wouldn’t listen, especially once they’d reached the desert.

bandicam 2015-01-08 23-07-04-080 copyFinally, with everyone settled, I hatched the next egg. With some help from the incubator, I hatched Jonathan and Clarise’s first egg.

bandicam 2015-01-08 23-10-40-944 copyMeet Donny. Yes, he aged to a child before he learned his name! I guess we have a fast ager on our hands, at least for the first stage of his life.

I have to say, I like his colors!

While I admired his colors Jenny and Jonathan both decided to wander into the volcano. I didn’t even have time for a picture because I was so busy trying to lure them out but when I finally got them out, they were both terribly thirsty. I delivered them some Hollow Coconuts and was ecstatic to see that no one else had tried to go into the volcano (again) yet.
