I added passageways to the world to make navigating a lot easier for my norns. I decided not to use the OceanBridges but otherwise, the house and falls areas are more permeable.
Not long after, the Observation Kit showed a headstone next to Gerald’s name but he was still alive. Poor guy. With his life force fluttering around 23 and 24%, things were looking very grim, even though he was still very alive. As if that wasn’t enough, I had a small panic when I saw Aidan was sick on the Observation kit. Thankfully, he’d only sampled a little bit of Baobab and slept it off. Hopefully, he learned his lesson.
Soon, things were very quiet again and I thought about introducing a third egg. I’d much rather Lydia and Aidan have their first egg before I introduce any new genetics, but sadly, I was beginning to get a little bored. The last thing I wanted to do, though, was smother the poor things! If there’s anything I’ve learned from previous creatures I’d reared in this game is that they require constant attention for only about the first 20 minutes of their lives, when they need to be taught their vocabulary, what is ok to eat and how to rest and play. After that, they almost seem to get confused!
It wasn’t long before Gerald was an adult. He finally grew up and I led Lydia from the temple all the way to him. They kissed a bit but there was no luck getting an egg. Suddenly, Lydia was sick and I had to lure Aidan away.
With her health sitting at 61% I had to act fast. It plummeted from what was a very healthy 77%. I convinced her to eat a lot of food and before long, her health was at a comforting 77% again. Gerald also managed to get sick and his health was at a pitiable 9%. Poor guy. What a hard life he’s had.
Before I got her health up to those numbers, however, I trapped Aidan up by the computer and he and Lydia thought it would be cute to play with the lifts. I kept panicking every time Lydia sneezed near Aidan.
Thankfully, the bacteria involved this time must have been very minor but I dreaded what could come.
