“Keep your norn active and amused. A bored norn can develop serious mental problems.”
As ‘helpful’ as this Tip of the Day seemed to want to be, I doubted the validity of it. In any case, my norns always seemed to keep each other preoccupied, so I wasn’t too concerned.
Cassy’s pregnancy proceeded normally, as expected, but the distraction of the other norns kept her from eating. Typical, really. Her health hovered in the upper 50s%. It was finally in the 40s, when I was finally able to draw her attention to carrots, but Danny kept her distracted, even though he spent his time sleeping!
Finally, a little blue egg appeared and Cassy’s health slowed its descent. I lured her to the pier, away from the other norns, and gave her some parsnips. As I encouraged her to eat, Peony became pregnant! It was hard to tell who the father would be, but I was excited nonetheless.
Peony, Cassy, David(not shown), Perry(also not shown) Bobby and even Grub were on the island now. It seemed like the only norn missing now was Mallory, the new baby! Of course, at 40 minutes old, she was hardly a baby anymore.
Still, she acted like one.
She didn’t like to stray from the house and play with toys still. I fed her some food and checked on the others.
Cassy still hadn’t eaten since she got pregnant, and her health was at a dangerous 20%. I had to trap her in the cave where the sub landed on the island, before I could get her to eat two parsnips. Finally, I was able to put away Peony’s new, green egg.
