Synergy and Dark Cat were still the only norns in the Norn Terrarium and Synergy almost seemed like she was enjoying taking a break from laying so many eggs. Besides, Andromeda was happy to become the next in line to be a successful mother. It would be a while yet til Lin, only 15 minutes old, would be ready to start breeding for the next generation.
The next baby happened to be a lady, though. This is Marysia, a pretty little purple girl with a puffy tail. She seemed to get along famously with Lin and the other, older ladies didn’t seem intimidated by her. In fact, they even offered her eating advice.
Sadly, the boys weren’t getting along so well. Well. Drake and Chang weren’t.
I think part of their problem is that they both like the same girl. Maybe. Olga took the opportunity to get pregnant again amidst their fighting and the boys carried on slapping each other again. Oh my.
To see if it would improve things, I decided to bring everyone to the Norn Terrarium. They had about 7 minutes to spread out before I introduced the next young’un and the lake had a Mind Arrow on it to keep Norns from drowning.
Not a bit to my surprise, though, they all stayed in a pretty tight group, despite “dislike so and so” being repeated over and over amidst cries of admiration for other norns.
It took some time for the group to change. Rather than the norns splitting up, however, they instead broke off into two groups, with just a few wanderers.
Finally, it was time for more new blood. Akuma is our little star this time. His name always stood out for me for some reason (Tekken?) but what I really liked about him was his color. Actually, one of my favorite features about this group is just how diverse their appearances all are.
The norns slowly spread out further and things started to calm down. Drake kept slapping everyone so nobody stayed near him for too long at a time. That probably encouraged some migration.
Marysia, Daedalus and Andromeda were the most active when it came to this and the three of them competed for the medical bay elevator. It was fun to watch but eventually, I had to pull myself away.
