Jasmine Pushes Daisies

Hey guys. Tiny post today because I wanted to get the pictures from my last play out of the way to make room for the next one since it's most likely to be big. (that is a guess on my part, not a promise!)

Adairan.. Poor, poor Adairan.. I gave him a regular checkup as I do all my norns once in a while just to see how their bodies are doing with their invironments. He appeared to be healthy and happy studying the death cap seeds and never eating... but when I checked him up I noticed his liver A organ is not doing so well. From my studies this organs purpose is to store excess energy. Right now it's function is down to 12%. I am not sure exactly what affect this will have on him outwardly, but like I said earlier he seems to be happy and not in any discomfort. Whenever I dump a hand full of food by him he ignores it and has a one tract scientific mind set on those deathcap seeds. Who knows, maybe since he's never tried to eat one he knows how dangerous they are and is playing scientist to better the knowledge and safety for the future generation of norns. Little Adairan sits for hours upon hours, staring at, inspecting, pushing and carrying around the seeds. On rare occasions he will try to talk to one to see if it answers him. I can only imagine a tiny clipboard in one of his norny hands!

As the title of this post suggests Jasmines time has finally come. She has not lived up to the age of the longest living norn but she has indeed lived a very long time. Her age was over 5 and a half hours and she died an ancient. I was taken by the death icon to her, still sporting a smile. She had layed down in a garden of flowers and seeds and looked ultimately peaceful. She was a great mother and wonderful wife to the late Hetman. May your daughters further your genetic line down the road! Now she and Hetman are together once again!

Unfortunately, i'm sad to say her son Adondasi has followed soon after. He too looked happy and i'm sure he lived a happy life. He didn't complain much and seemed quite content no matter how hard I tried to convince him that he was hungry! I believe his death was caused by starvation, but he didn't seem to care! Ah well.. Life goes on!

The passing on of Jasmine has opened the door for our next queen. This happens to be the sister of Jasmine and Jeshi! Java has reigndeer arms and legs while the rest of her is most definately chichi looking. This gives her a little bit of a dwarf look, but oh so adorable!

Java was introduced into my little family of norns and blended in quite well, despite her physical differences. Her tiny legs make her look like she is swimming on the grass like a duck on water, and her tiny arms give her a T-rex appearance. Java expressed joy when she saw the abundance of food around her and enjoyed snacking on and playing with the field of fruits! Some time passed while I watched them graze like cattle in a peaceful world and I was amused to find the three norns (java, Easter and Adairan) gravitated toward each other to form what resembled a small herd. They wouldn't stray far from each other, and that's how I left them. Adairan of course didn't stay long and didn't really eat anything but quickly made his way back toward the volcano to look after his seeds. He seems to occasionally be attracted by other seeds but doesn't stay around them very long. His love is the deathcap seeds! Adairan, you have a very dangerous hobby.. maybe even a little morbid too!

Sparce Norns

Easter has grown into her youth stage, which caught me by surprise because she hasn't gained any height or size what so ever. I had been waiting for some time to see her do this, so I could know when to begin expecting breeding behaviors, but since she never grew I got tired of waiting and looked to find she was already youth! Easter keeps to herself most often, just walking around, playing with toys and eating. She seems to be living the good life! Here Easter settles down next to the lift button beneath the big tree house, in the cool, rich soil.

Not long after I began watching Easter I was surprised by the death of Hetman. He had been the Adam of Nyrn, fathering the future generations of his tribe. Hetman had been the first to stray from the little cave the whole norn population first arrived in Nyrn in, and with a fellow female norn colonized the underground cave by the waterfall. There he spent his days, first and last, with no predator threats or stresses. He even managed to discover gold and treasure! With his full life behind him Hetman now rests in peace, knowing his children have a future because of him.

Adairan, one of Hetman and Jasmines children, has found himself near the volcano door where the deathcap mushrooms love to grow, playing with the seeds of them! I can't help but admit he makes me very nervous when he does so, but he doesn't seem to be eating them or the mushrooms. I can only hope that is because he has enough intelligence to know not to. When I first found him I sweated bullets for a little while as I watched him prod, play with and look at the little spiky seeds as if he were studying them. Adairan is an adult and has never shown an interest in breeding with Easter but what holds his interest is the science behind deathcap seeds!

After the discovery of Adairans dangerous hobby quite a while passed before something new happened. All the norns continued in their peaceful lives before suddenly I became aware of a pregnancy. I didn't get to see it happen, but was braught to Easter! I was so happy for this joyous occasion that I followed Easter wherever she went until she layed the egg. Her gestation wasn't long at all, in fact much quicker than an average norn I think. The egg itself surprised me also, that she could lay one half the size of her! Good gracious Easter!

Her first egg hatched into a little girl. Easters second pregnancy was soon to follow and the second egg layed among the flowers beneath the great tree house. The father of both eggs was Adondasi, he and Easter seem to have a little romance going, though casual as it is. The second egg also hatched into a little girl norn, which worries me a little bit... because Adairan and Adondasi are the only two male norns left in my game. If more aren't born into this world soon I may have to fetch some from muco. (If I did they would be c1 norns, they're irresistibly adorable!)

Easter For Norns

This is the easter post. I am sorry that it's very late, but better late than never. Well, here we go.

Another blast of difficult weather has swept over the Nyrn forest. It catches all of the nearby norns by surprise and sends them scurrying in the other direction. Luckily for the norns, the weather patterns aren't hazardous to their health. They don't know that though, unfortunately. The little toy dog there is abandoned as the norns flee from the ominous thunder cloud spitting it's lightening all over the ground while a couple more take shelter in some tall grass. Inside I can't help but feel glee over watching these unusual weather patterns affect the norns and how it may change the way they live!

Jasmine has reached old age and all of her colors have dulled, but she still looks beautifull with her pale pastel wings. In her old age she has slowed down quite a bit. I still have been unable to successfully breed energy into old aged norns, oh how I wish they could remain energetic up until death! Jasmine spends her hours and days, now, sitting and staring at/watching things most of the time. I find it difficult to get her to eat anything. I'm unsure if this is because her metabolism has slowed and she no longer feels hungry, or if she is confusing looking with eating. She has had a long, full life, though, and so I let her be and try not to hassle her too much.

From the mysterious egg under the watchful gaze of a nearby norn pops a fluffy little norn, tiny thing! The egg you see, was an Easter egg and from it popped an Easter bunny norn, what else! I have named this cute little thing Easter, in celebration of the holiday. This did happen on Easter day, but again I have gotten this post up a bit late. Easter loves to eat eat eat! That seems to be all she does.. yes it is a SHE. She will not replace Jasmine, but supplement her in the norn tribe. Most of all, Easter loves to eat the Easter eggs from the baskets! I have watched her trekking alllllll the way to the volcano door and back just following the trail of eggs for eating!

Easter Also likes honey! When I supply the honey comb with a few jars by pushing the hive she scurries right over and enjoys a few of those jars! Jasmine has also been seen enjoying the jars, but not nearly as much these days.

A couple of deaths have occurred in the world of Nyrn. Abishpulu and Addarnat have passed into the great beyond. They lived their whole lives in the cliff cave never venturing out once. They enjoyed their lives though. Abishpulu seemed to pass on due to starvation though this isn't proven or certain. Why norns choose not to eat when they are surrounded by a bounty of food is anyone's guess.

This post is short simply because while I had played for over an hour, very few things of note happened to take pictures of! Because of this I have few pictures, but hopefully next time I will have a few more! Sorry about that guys!

A Mysterious Egg Appears

Something unusual has happened in the forest. A lone, mysterious egg appears beside the bee hive. From whence it came nobody knows... and just what lies inside of it? Only time will tell, as everyone waits for it to hatch, to reveal just what is waiting for them inside....

Happy Easter!

Happy Easter everyone!

No Updates For A While

There most likely wont be any new updates for a while. I just wanted to let my small audience know so nobody would fear that I'm growing bored of the game. That's not the case. I'm currently recovering from wisdom tooth removal and may not feel up to playing the game for a little while. Worry not. :)

Spring Has Sprung

With spring upon us a new seasonal holiday approaches. I have scattered a couple easter baskets full of eggs as well as some random eggs around the world. I was unable to find many easter agents for this occasion but happily this was one I was happy to grace my norns with! So let's get started shall we?

Akira and Amos, two norns from way back in the migration to Nyrn have not survived. I can't honestly remember if I posted about them yet or not so I decided to cover them now just in case. Sorry Akira and Amos.

Hetman was among the first to find the merry easter basket I plopped into their little garden! All other norns soon followed and it wasn't long before the basket was overrun with norns! I must say i'm very happy to see them all enjoying their little treat so much! Enjoy it while you can boys because easter doesn't last forever.

Jasmine had long decided it was time to leave the garden and broaden her horizons. She had been gone for a while before Adondasi decided to follow her lead. He traveled east down the underground river that so readily swallowed up baby norns. Adondasi wasn't afraid though, because he was no longer a baby and his head could reach above the water when he stood. He walked for a long time, eating the seeds and nuts that happened to drop into it from the great wide world above. When he arrived into a new land upon damp earth he was met with a sight! A vast area full of vegetation and butterflies! It was like a forested eden! Adondasi was very very tired after the rough trip though.

After a little rest Adondasi began to explore this never ending eden! He picked all of the fruits, flowers and foods around to eat and was happy! He is now thriving in this beautiful forest landscaped by a giant waterfall in the background. There are even a few toys. That multi-colored area on the right edge of the picture behind his butt is a spinning top that he occasionally enjoys to play with.

Abishpulu is the next to make this hazardous journey, following in his brothers footsteps, and eating the seeds and nuts at the bottom of the river. Abishpulu was smart in never keeping his head under the water for too long though.

Adarian, a near copy of his brother, also made the journey. His was swift and easy, though a little bit rough on the legs. 

It was not without reward though, as he had found a very sweet prize! He nearly walked right into the honey bee hive sitting a little further into the forest. A quick sample of the sweet honey that came out and its quite obvious Adarian was glad that he had made the journey to this new land from the cramped garden cave. 

Adarian enjoyed the little easter basket i dropped near by the honey bee hive. He was happily eating when I spied something that worried me considerably. Popping up by the bee hive is a death cap mushroom. I looked around and realized they seemed to secretly be popping up everywhere! Try as I might I am unable to uproot them or kill them.. I just hope nobody decides to have a taste. I once caught one of the norns walking toward one by the river to "touch" it but quickly caught the norns hand and pulled it harshly away. He didn't try again.

All this time Jasmine has been having a blast by and in the swamp. She loves to travel over the watery bridge that spans the swamps distance. For some reason when she does this, she always gets soaking, dripping wet even though she doesn't actually get in the water.  Why she loves the swamp so much is a little puzzling to me because the swamp is barren actually. She loves to play with the plants, as you can see here, and retreat the flowers though.

Jasmine has discovered honey, i'm not sure if its her first time doing so. I think she didn't know actual honey came out of it because she seemed very surprised when I pushed the hive to produce a jar of honey. Immediately she scooped it up and began to enjoy it very much! She stood there eating honey jar after honey jar.

I'm learning quickly that the C2 world can have some pretty wild weather. Not long ago the temperature on the forest floor dropped into the teens Fahrenheit and it began to snow even though it is currently spring in Nyrn. I was watching Jasmine when extremely low clouds rolled in. I watched with interest as they began to overtake the unsuspecting norn and one above began to roll with lightening! It crashed to the ground with a loud thunder and Jasmine jumped in fright!

The cloud near the ground suddenly began to thunder and chase Jasmine as she ran away frightened! I'm unsure why but for some reason when my norns become frightened their expressions rapidly shift from scared to happy and back until their fear disappears. I think it has something to do with a certain gene because it appears to be hereditary. The camera just happened to catch Jasmine when her face was in the happy expression.

And back at the cave the three norns that are left, pappa Hetman and his two sons continue to thrive happily in their home. They seem to be immune to wanderlust, unlike the rest of their family, and are quiet content to stay where they are.
