I was so proud of Clarise for getting this kit for me but, not long after, she nearly did wall-bonk herself into a coma. Ahhh…. Oh well.
I lead Jonathan downstairs to learn more expressive words and soon enough, he learned everything that the machines could teach him. Next thing I knew, Jonathan was now 23 minutes old and was starting to shape up into a obedient little norn.
After a while, I brought Clarise back down to Jonathan and since becoming a Child, Clarise suddenly became very curious and wanted to put everything in her mouth – toys especially.
Eventually, and I think it was inevitable, the two got into an exhausting slapping fight. After they finally separated, they both looked dead tired. Once they crossed paths again, Jonathan gave Clarise a kiss and they continued to wander the level below the Incubator without rest.
It took some time, but they each spent some time resting. Jonathan didn’t get a chance to fall asleep til much later, but there was some progress made, I think.
Once Clarise was an hour old and Jonathan was 40 minutes old, I decided to add a third Norn. I opted for another female. I’ve named her Jenny. She had a bit of a temper for some reason – her angry face seemed to appear for no reason. Anyway, she was taught by the two computers by the incubator and with the help of a nearby Doozer, I was able to teach her a little more vocabulary.
As the three wandered around, trying to eat everything, I started to wonder what I could do about their efforts. Watching them try to stuff tennis balls in their mouth was entertaining and charming at first, but their sad, tired faces were starting to make me upset.
