Albuin took his last breaths as I watched videos online. I still have the sounds on so that I can hear the game but a cry wasn’t something I wanted to hear today.
Andorea was with him in the end but I don’t know what could have killed him. He was looking for the ettin home when he passed away so I can only guess that he died of hypothermia.
Annemie was the next norn to get pregnant, this time, I -think- with Ayahiko. He was the only of age male nearby anyway. The eggonicer whisked her egg away and now, there were three eggs in the eggonicer. I’m not sure where the third came from but there you have it.
I spent some time knitting and making lunch and decided to add some authenticity to the C1toDS world by adding a C1 grendel to the game.
I named him fig and placed him below the Grendel mother in the tree. Because the DS Eggonicer snatched up the Grendel egg before I could hatch it, I was forced to hatch little Buraianto here. Welcome, both of you!
I left to put my lunch in the oven and heard fig beating up on one of my norns! I came back to find that Annemie had passed away.
In her place came a new egg, however. Ashiko got pregnant and was spending time with Annemie when she died.
At least there was that. These guys seem to be dropping like flies!
Adalwin was the first to die. As I wasn’t around (doing laundry, showering, tending to my dogs, etc.) I have no idea what did him in. Eggonicer did its job and quickly replaced him with Ayahiko, another Bengal Boy.
Before long, there was a pregnancy indication! Albuin would father Andorea’s new baby. She laid her egg and the Eggonicer quickly whisked it away to deploy when another norn passed away.
Speaking of norns, I decided to hatch a new norn. I decided on a male FairyFloss norn that the autonamer named Asaichirou.
Most tragic was the death of Abigail. I’m sad to see her go though I know her suffering has finally come to an end. She has no eggs to call her own. She spent her last minutes alive with her father, eating Parsnips at the bottom level of the island. At the time, the observation kit paused (I wish it wouldn’t do that) so I carted him away to give him some space and food. Without him, Abi was free to eat the last of the parsnips, but it was too late. Godfried is the one who watched her take her last breath. I hate to have siblings witness each other’s deaths because it always seems so tragic.
Sadly, their little girl had just the problem that I suspected she would. Because Hunger Decrease didn’t actually decrease her hunger (boredom instead) she was in a state of constant hunger. She grew up quickly and it looked like she’d entered adolescence at only 15 minutes old! I fear the stress of always feeling hunger was affecting her aging. I’m going to have to keep her from breeding, sadly. The last thing I want is a population of norns that are always miserable, and I hope you agree.
The whole family got together after AppleJack laid her third egg. The only norn missing from this picture is Patrick. With both of the ladies smacking away his advances, he busied himself in the tree, carrying a ball with him.
Off to the hatchery! I decided to choose a lady this time to increase the odds of new eggs. We can hope it works out that way. I don’t want Abigail breeding, anyway.
