The three continued to put toys in their mouth for a short while and as they did, I wondered if I should lead them to the foresty area. I couldn’t do much exploring myself since I was basically tethered to each of the little darlings, but I was still planning to nab the rest of the gameplay power ups.
Because his location was convenient, I took Jonathan up to the bridge leading to the new area. He was still drowsy, not having an opportunity to sleep since he and the girls started trying to eat toys, but he marched on. I should note that I was happy to let him rest, but he looked like he wanted to just get it over with.
He made his way to the waterfall and enjoyed a quick rest by the telescope before moving on.
He nearly drowned in this shallow pond but when I came to his rescue, he had a new lady friend. I’ve named her Bella (Magic School Bus, anyone?). Unfortunately, she didn’t last long. I took her down in a lift after forgetting that Frog Norns die if taken too far from their pond.
Eventually, I was able to lure him around to get two more power ups. When he got the Advanced Science Kit I had to act quickly, though. He was a star at pushing implements but he basically flung himself into the Volcano. I was able to use PickMeUp just in time to keep him from colliding with the ground.
Jenny, the youngest female, was the first to get sick. She didn’t infect any of the other norns and she was fine after some honey and a Tomato. Thankfully, the problem wasn’t worse.
Clarise was the next norn I took on an adventure. I’d spotted the Neuroscience kit and got her to collect it for me after lots and lots of struggling.
Unfortunately, I didn’t know a thing about creature brains so while it’s nice for the sake of completion, the kit did nothing practical for me. Still, to celebrate our return to the incubation area, where the other two Norns were, Clarise decided to have an egg.
After it was laid, I scooped the tiny thing up and put it in a basket. With that, I thought I should add another male. Things were certainly starting to get crowded in the incubator area, but the Norns that were already here might be able to help teach whoever I hatched next.
