The Grim Recap:
Reka & Airica got thrown into a head to head by The Boss. Now they're in a race to see who can finish first. Airica just wants to prove to Reka that it's harder than it seems. Reka just wants revenge. Or does she? Lately she seems really distracted by all the children she suddenly has. Three heir possibilities and all of them cuties. Now she has a new one to huggle and snuggle with her man George. Is the doll going soft? What about Airica? Last time we saw her, she too had just had triplets but lucky for Airica there was only one heir. Cute little Tala the wolf. Now the ultimate question - keep them all the same age or rapid age the unneeded to up just to get them out of the house?
While one speaks to the baby boomer in me -- the dynasty player in me has trouble letting go.. Guess we'll see!
Adrasteia: "You know toddler training is not required. Rachel says so. And you know Rachel. She's the queen."
Airica: "It feels weird to not show the kids where to put the stinky stuff. I don't want to be changing diapers until Tala finishes her requirements."
Adrasteia: "Understandable but isn't that what wolfman here is for?"
Malcolm: "Oh no. Don't bring me into this."
----------
Tala: "Mommy hungry."
Airica: -claps- "Yes she is. Just a few more words sweetie and then we can both eat and then Daddy will teach you to walk.. and to hunt."
Tala: "Hunt Hunt Hunt. Me Wanna Hunt!"
-----------
Tala: "Daddy I did it!"
Malcolm: "Yay sweetie you did it!"
Tala: "Hunt now."
Malcolm: "No. Finish you training become friends with me then night night time."
Tala: "No Naps!"
Malcolm: "Sweetie - you're tired."
Tala: "No Naps!"
Malcolm: "Ok sweetheart..Howl like Daddy.."
Adrasteia: "That is the cutest thing I've ever seen."
Malcolm: "Wait til you see this. Tala.. show big sissy how you hunt. Get into your stance."
Adrasteia: "Wow. Just.. I think a small part of me just exploded from cuteness. I need to adopt a cub I think."
Malcolm: "You need to what?"
Airica: "Birthday time! Tala finished her pegbox and xylophone."
Adrasteia: "Yay and a whole day ahead of Reka. Go Tala."
Tala: "Hey what's that on my nose?"
Airica: "Looks like a bump."
Malcolm: "I think one of the sparkles bit her."
Tala: "I may have bit at them too."
Malcolm: -chuckles-
Adrasteia: "Ok kids.. wardrobe time. Why do you all have to like the color gray?"
Little Man Ulric up first - He added bookworm to loner / heavy sleeper
Lupe added artistic to neurotic & genius.
Hey! Where did Tala go?
Tala: -uses that new Brave trait to peek under the bed-
Smoke comes from under the bed.
Tala: -screams and runs to the other room- "Ahh!"
Adrasteia: "Oh come on there's nothin--- AHH Monster!"
Malcolm: "Is my little wolf scared of a bed monster?"
Tala: "That's a great idea!"
Adrasteia: "Well you were cute.. I still need you to go over to the dresser little lady."
Tala: "Now the bed monster can be scared of me!"
Airica: "Oh that reminds me. You're all signed up for ballet now."
Adrasteia: "Tala - wardrobe now."
Malcolm: "Then bed. You guys have school in the morning."
Triplets in Unison: "Aww dad.."
Tala: "I won't sleep in the middle bed."
Tala's new wardrobe - Her traits are now Evil, Genius & Brave.
Airica: "That's right kids.. eat a good breakfast before your first day of school. Tala you'll have tutoring after ballet class."
Tala: "What?! Nooo."
Adrasteia: "Welcome to being the heir. "
Malcolm: "How dare you skip school!"
Tala: "It's only 9:05, Dad!"
Malcolm: "I'm so disappointed in you!"
Tala: "I was washing your dishes! Maybe you should get a job in acting - you certainly have that star attitude. I'm going to school."
Adrasteia: "Lupe? You ok sweetie?"
Ulric: "She watched Dad and Tala change. Tried to get her to follow me but nooo. She just wanted to watch. "
Adrasteia: "Oh."
Ulric: "Tala went first and you should see what Dad did."
Adrasteia: "Ut oh."
Adrasteia: "Well aren't you two .. wait.. what are you sitting in?"
Malcolm: "And two werewolves plus two chickens equals zero chickens."
Tala: "Wait what? I thought two plus two was four."
Malcolm: "Not when it's wolves and chickens."
Adrasteia: "You are ignoring me, aren't you?"
Airica: "Probably... I'm sure you can guess what the puddle is. A result from letting his daughter change first. Off to a full moon party."
Tala: "Mom! We're home! I want to show you something."
Airica: "Did you finish your tutoring?"
Tala: "Yep I have an A and I know how to plie. Watch!"
Airica: "That's great, rosebud. What are the others doing?
Tala: "I don't know. Can I go hunting now?
Airica: "No. Homework first."
Tala: "Nooo."
Adrasteia: "One day you'll be able to boss your kids around too."
Tala: "You bet I will."
Lupe: "Eureka!"
Malcolm: "Well done darling. Maybe when you're a little older we can have you do some alchemy."
Lupe: "I like potions better. They make more sense."
Malcolm: "The ingredients are imaginary!"
Lupe: "But they're made logically - not throw a few things in a cauldron and hope it comes out. You'll never become a frog from making a potion."
Adrasteia: "It's always a rough day for a parent when the kids have a point."
Tala: "And I the queen decree that the sacrifices shall begin at once.. and it all starts with you little lamb."
Adrasteia: -sniff- "She's growing up so well."
Lupe: "Ha. Almost!"
Ulric: "I'm so close to getting you Tala!"
Tala: "You'll never be able to get me. I'm a wolf and I have better reflexes!"
Adrasteia: "Don't get cocky kid."
Tala: "What? It's true -- Oof!" -gets hit in the stomach-
Lupe: "Take that better reflexes." -laughing-
Adrasteia: "Look at you learning something new. "
Malcolm: "It's only because we all drink these potions like candy."
Adrasteia: "They are kind of awesome though."
Malcolm: "Yes it helps. Not sure I understand all the mumbo jumbo that Airica told me about but with your arrival it's started to make sense. Now to prepare Tala for it all. "
Adrasteia: "Do you grudge her?"
Malcolm: "Oh no. Strange things happen in this town. Christopher Steel and Agnes always mumbling about dynasties and what have you. Pauline Wan crying over becoming a vampire again. Hank Goddard wondering why he couldn't get a nice pair of wings instead of fangs. Jared Frio wondering why the wings didn't work to get your mother. You know.. strange things. Oh and that green lady that comes every couple of nights for no reason."
Ulric: "Can I join you?"
Tala: "Of course! These are awesome."
Lupe: "Aww but it's tutoriing time for me."
Ulric: "Shouldn't take long - you'll be out here with us in no time."
Adrasteia: -yawning- "Isn't it a bit early for playground fun?"
Tala: "Never!"
Tala: "Well hello pretty kitty. Want to come inside and play?"
Airica: "Tala I thought you were headed to the festival with the others?"
Tala: "Oh yea.. Mom you play with him."
Airica: "What? Oh ok. Hello playful kitty. Let's be friends huh?"
Tala: "Just a quick snack..."
Adrasteia: "Tala! What are you doing?!"
Tala: "Getting lunch."
Adrasteia: "That's so... so.. weird."
Tala: "You drink a little drink that comes from pollen like a bird. Who are you to judge me?"
Adrasteia: "The watcher.. So neener neener."
Leave an evil child alone for 5 minutes and.. yeah.
Adrasteia: "End of the week. Anything you want to add?"
Airica: "I miss the forum. I miss reading other people's stories. I miss my cat."
Adrasteia: "Ok."
Airica: "Oh and you've been a little here or there.. Everything ok?"
Adrasteia: "Oh.. about that. We had a little problem. I'll fill you in soon. Promise."
Airica: "Wait a minute. You'll tell me right now."
Adrasteia: "Nope sorry.. bye."
Airica: "Adrasteia! Ooh I'm so going to get you. Just wait til Artie shows up again."
Adrasteia: "When did Artie show up?"
Airica: "I'm not telling you now."
