Unfortunately, two of the eggs didn’t make it (accidentally deleted them with the egg hatcher…. *cough*).
Then, moments into the move, Patty was mercilessly beaten to death by Lydia, her mother. Lydia, who soon became pregnant again. Anyway, time for a quick census.
Here are the first four ettins, on the left and their offspring on the right. After this picture was taken, Rhonda gave birth to this little girl.
What a pretty girl! She looks just like her mother as a child. Sadly, we couldn’t celebrate her life for long because she was killed by her family next to the HLM. Tragically, boredom is reduced by slapping other creatures in this genome.
Soon though, Lydia was ready to give birth again and killed her mate Abner once was she was pregnant. What a violent breed.
Skinny Wilderness was the next offspring and Malachite became pregnant again. I hardly have time to take pictures before the next baby is born. XD
Naughty Guide was the next to join us. I hate to admit it, but seeing these is a breath of fresh air. Not long after Naughty was born, Innocent front was killed by Lydia.
Ignore that frown of her’s. She’s actually the one doing most of the murdering. Honestly, I’m starting to think that starting over would have been a mercy.
For some reason, Emerald started experiencing pain. As soon as I opened the Medical Monitor to solve the problem, the cause and his pain disappeared. I guess it could have been bacteria since no one was hitting him at the time, but it’s still a little concerning.
Then, Naughty Guide and Skinny Wilderness started to experience pain. It killed Skinny Wilderness. Suddenly, it dawned on me! I used evolnemesis’ directions to enable wall bonking! Oops. Still, wall bonking seemed to work. The Naughty Guide had the sense to walk away from the wall and I suppose Skinny Wilderness just kept going. It isn’t wallbonking itself that did her in, it’s the fact that she was literally too dim to stop doing it.
Next to wall bonk was Malachite, who was trying to play with the instrument on the top left corner of the Meso. To save all of the ettins some trouble, I moved the musicola to the middle of the top floor. Eventually, I decided it would be best to remove wall bumping for now because it just caused too much fear in the poor things.
Strangely, things had quieted down after that. Malachite decided it was fun to play with the Meta-Door and the two Ettins with random bouts of murderous intent stuck together alone at the bottom level of the meso.
Even more strange, I tried to patch up a dispute between Emerald and Malachite and as a result of the general pushing, Rhonda and Lydia both became pregnant, even with no male around either of them and these two were born as a result.
Hooray. Just in time to lighten the mood, Barbara, one of the Dragonfly Demon Ettins became pregnant while the four Chameleon Ettins slapped each other by the HLM.
Joyous Connection emerged from Barbara’s egg. I decided then to move the Dragonfly Demon ettins into the Norn Terrarium. It’s a bigger space and should accomodate this giant, growing family better. For their safety I installed Mind Arrows and left the Chameleon ettins to their own devices in the Meso.
