Ashby and Rio discuss what they want to be when they grow up, while Iago looks annoyed.
"An astronaut," Rio says. "No wait! An actor. Or a firefighter! Or a rock star."
Iago plans to rob a huge bank and be set for life. His best friend, Shelby Newbie, doesn't seem to approve.
Judging by her face, she's a descendant of Drumheller.
Pablo is determined to see his family eat meals together. Ashby decides to ruin it with homework and bitching about all the art.
Iago plots to ruin his sister with clowns.
"I'm just gonna go on this big gem heist," Iago explains. "Like my Daddy."
"Shouldn't you be getting home?" Fire-head man asks. "Dusk is when the vampires come out, kid."
Rio becomes a teenager.
Pablo becomes a cheetah.
"Someone should like, for serious, take care of that weeded up garden out there," Rio complains.
"Meh," Pablo and Ashby respond. Too many other things to do.
Like Gem Quest 3.
Birds and bees and bottles. Pablo makes sure his children are educated.
Nol gets around to the garden. It pains her to see her mother's plants dying like this.
She still has writers block. She hasn't answered her fan mail. The author of such great books as The Yellow Cat, The Oppression of Elves by Santa Claus, Safari Hat Man, Quantum Subspace Plot, The Fear Run and the The Love Commander now seems uninterested in the craft.
Instead, she watches her children play in the yard.
Teaching Ashby the ways of the cheetah.
For his birthday, Rio received a guitar.
Pablo stole this fox thing. He's a hero among thieves. He wonders if he's lost sight of his original goals.
"Your music sucks!" Iago chirps.
Iago's birthday transforms an evil child into a
Martin is interested in the music.
As her obsession with writing falls away, Nol wonders about her husband's career. "Are you in this to keep everyone safe, or are you in this for the money?"
"It's addictive, this feeling, of finally being someone..." he says.
"You were always someone to me," she reminds him.
That's all he needed to hear. "I'm not getting any younger. I'll get out as soon as I can."
Rio and Iago are finally getting along.
ART. HATE. NIGHTMARES.
Wait, isn't that robe a little artsy? Get into something plainer, you hypocrite.
Nol and Rio stare at the hall of portraits, wondering why their hair is blue green purple.
Iago skips school to paint monsters.
On the phone with Sacha.
"I can't... I can't write a thing anymore."
Hugs!
"I know you skipped school," Pablo hisses threateningly.
Bonus pic: Hawk's garden. He is now a carnivorous plant tender.
Etc.: Rio's teen trait is unlucky. Iago's teen trait is born salesman.
Nol and Pablo have reached the top of their careers and maxed career related skills. Awkwardly enough, only one skill was required for each. Writing for Nol, and athletic for Pablo. If Pablo had rolled the evil branch, he would have needed to max logic as well. Seems you'd need logic to be a master thief as well as an emperor of evil, but whatever. Their generation goal is complete. In addition, Pablo has jogged enough to "ensure a longer life," so we'll be seeing what that equates to.
I'm over-skilling Ashby, since I want her kids to have a shot at the pyromaniac traits.
Hey, grats on getting Nol to top of the writer career before reaching elder phase!
ReplyDeleteI'm going to wait to crush on Rio until he hits YA. Because, you know, it would be creepy for me to crush on a teen. Not that I don't still <3 Pavel. But Rio has moar hair. And he's so cute!
And, uh, thanks for the Safety Dance earworm. I'm going to have that one in my head all day. S-S-S A-A-A....
We can go where we want to
ReplyDeleteA place where they will never find
And we can act like we come from out of this world
Leave the real one far behind! ;)
