The Rust Life States Dynasty: Cricket (1/19)

[TheTripWasInfraGreen]

That's really strange. Waylon still lives with his family, though I'm sad because he has to live with his parents divorced and his mother trying to pursue Pappy (and Pappy being somewhat willing, popping wishes to skinny dip with her. NO.)! Oh the drama!

Gasp! The Wolffs always seem to end up divorcing, and I just love having those Wolff genes in my family, so . . . I think you can see where this is going  . Dwayne Wolff is, hands-down, my favorite Wolff. I try to break them up early just so I can snap him up!

[RainBeau]

They're divorced in my game too! Crazy! And get this, Erica ended up with my spare's invisible boss, and Dwayne is dating one sister and Waylon is dating the other! Creepy, right?

[TheTripWasInfraGreen]

"I feel strange growing up."

Why's that, Crick?

"I get nightmares now."

First day as a child and you already had one. What happened?





"I was in a black room, and there was one other girl there. She said that I have to leave the family and save her."

Was she scary looking?



"I think she looked like dad."

Oh. How about we keep this a secret? I'd rather not have mum and dad worry about you. Cricket, you have your whole childhood ahead of you. I wouldn't let those strange nightmares get in the way.

[TheTripWasInfraGreen]

Say hi to Dana. Somehow, he's a fully fledged adult after maybe a week, maybe because the MacDuffs have been homeless for a really long time now. We'll have to get Pappy to fix that.



You two will get along just fine.



Let's get started on that logic skill, while we're at it. Cricket started at level four due to all her toddler training with the books and the peg box.



"Dwayne, you're the coolest brother ever!"

"There is no way this will ever be normal, Cricket."



You really are your father's daughter, aren't you?

"Bach is the best composer for dancing music."

Hmm, maybe not.



I see that you two still have it. Awwwwwww.



"I have a feeling that there are ulterior motives behind this."

Oh, none at all. Why not stay fit, Pappy?

"Isn't this boring for you to watch?"

Not at all.



Oh yeah, you're a werewolf.



Hunting in the rugs for ladybugs. It's a normal occurence in Massachusetts. I can't wait until you can find some gems and make this household even more absurdly rich.



Is this an every day thing for you guys?



"Ugh, chess."

The telescope isn't working, so we have to make do.



Hey Dana.

"Yeah?"

You look like a major creep whenever you're around Cricket. Not quite as much as the adult Peanut Ivy playing guitar in his skivvies right next to Clover as she slept*, but you're getting close.

"What can I do about it?"

I dunno, man. You're so lucky that you, Jules, and Peanut are the only witches in Moonlight Falls that meet my criteria, and that you manage to be the least creepy one.



Oh, hi Malcolm. You just love being around Cadmium, don't you?

"But she's a great friend."

Sure then, emo kid.

"Did I ever say that you make me nervous?"

Only about a dozen times, Malc.

"I mean, really Cadmium, I feel that this endeavor of yours is bad news. Why trust those forces greater than you?"

I'm not that bad-

"Because my time in Simnation is decided by her. It's not a bad life, but I have to remember that these forces can end it all."

How about you keep a secret for once?



Because we're getting so far.

*I really can't make that up. D:

[ladyaya]

...I'm guessing that's Cricket aging up, so congratulations!

You could always see if there's a new witch in Cricket's classmates while she's at school anyways.
Ooh, Clover is pretty as a young adult~
And Pappy's looking good~ *wolf-whistles*

[TheTripWasInfraGreen]

I had her meet a lot of kids at school. There were two werewolves, but no witches. Plus, Dana is the offspring of original townies, so he pretty much gets a guaranteed marriage to a Rust. Since he hasn't played guitar half-naked yet, it isn't THAT bad.

Yep, the lovely Clover isn't content with rotting in my bin, but who would be?

[RavenKay]

Cricket is lovely. I love your interaction with Cadmium and the locals.

Malcolm has been turned into a werewolf in my game. When I saw him stalking around the park, I started LOLing and thinking of you.
 

[TheTripWasInfraGreen]

He seems more like a witch-type to me, but it seems that a lot of people get a were-Malcolm in their games. I'm stuck with a boring, human Malcolm, but the Rusts will always have a use for him.

[RainBeau]

Dana may look creepy, but he sure has great facial structure! And his eyes...

[ladyaya]

Dana may look creepy, but he sure has great facial structure! And his eyes...

Yes, he looks muuuch better than Peanut....

[Silverbella]

Crick is so lovely.  I really enjoyed the nightmare scene, you were right Pappy's features can work on females.

[TheTripWasInfraGreen]

Dana may look creepy, but he sure has great facial structure! And his eyes...

Yeah, I was really shocked when I first saw him. Joanie MacDuff has some good genes on her, because Dana is mostly Joanie.

Yes, he looks muuuch better than Peanut....

Oh indeed.

Crick is so lovely.  I really enjoyed the nightmare scene, you were right Pappy's features can work on females.

You can't go wrong with Wolff genes! I wasn't very shocked by Clover's good looks as an adult, but she's quite nice looking. But Cricket turned out really well, even if she's more-or-less a clone of Cadmium.

[TheTripWasInfraGreen]

This is a normal dinner setting for the Rusts.

"If we ever eat dinner together!"

Touche, Cadmium.



It looks like we aged up Cricket just in time, because then this happened.



I guess we'll make you useful. You're getting a new wardrobe once you're human again.



Like now. Can you wait to dig those graves, Crick?

"Yes."



I can't see a thing in there.

"I swear that I'm learning how to drive!"

Don't worry, I trust that you're doing productive thins while taking Lolly out for a stroll.

"Lolly?"

That's the name I'm giving your mum's motive mobile. She just bought one for you. I think Pattina has a nice ring to it for yours.

"I'm not a huge fan of your in-jokes."

Hey, imagine what Cadmium has to go through when I talk to her.



And you can't tutor yourself.

"Aren't I at level six?"

Yeah, but there are limitations.



Oh, hi Rainflower.

"It's nice to see how far Pappy's come."

Indeed it is. Rainflower and a bunch of other ghosts are now buried in the Rusts' yard, for future purposes.





It makes a normal family night for the Rusts look like this. I even have a video of Cricket and Rainflower getting their groove on.



"Oh Waylon, I can't believe how much my favorite grandson has grown up!"

"Mrs. Rust, this isn't going to catch on."



"Now son, I think your direction in politics should go towards-"

"Cadmium?"

"Yes?"

"I am always going to be older than you, and this will never be normal."



Happy now, Dwayne?

"She's a good mom."



"Oh my god Chauncey, it's my birthday!"

"I forgot what those were for a bit."

"Oh yeah."



Looks like you have a new student. Mind introducing him to us?

"This is Hank Gandillon."

You mean that original townie homeless child? And he's the same age as you?

"Yes."



It seems that you two like each other.



And he's not too bad looking either. Is he a supernatural?

"You bet."

Oh my goodness, what?

"He's a werewolf."

Oh. We're sticking with Dana, okay?



"Ahhhhhh!"

"What now?"

"Carmella, you're a ghost!"



"I know you like my chiseled abs, but Erica, I won't date you. If you excuse me, I have fan mail to write."

I've been focusing on Cricket and Pappy a lot now. My own founder has been mercilessly ignored except for awkward interactions with her extended family. My dear Cadmium, what have you been up to lately?



Oh.

[ladyaya]

Congratulations Caddy!

Seems like the cake was juuust early enough haha.

What's that skirt on Cricket once she's aged up? You can see it well when she's bounding around like a werewolf.
