I can be such a dingbat sometimes. Somehow, I convinced myself that I had left all of my gems in China by mistake, so I sent Indigo back alone on a short trip to retrieve them. Upon arrival at the family vacation home, there was no chest of gems because I did, in fact, take them back to Sunset Valley when the family departed last time. Oh well. Might as well use the time to perform some songs and get the tips up to where they can do some good. She wrapped up an adventure series and also collected metals. But most important, she made it back home in one piece!
Continuing on with Indigo a little... she finally had her first romance and first kiss at age 79 days.
Meet Davin Steel, Indigo's lifelong best friend:

Davin had a girlfriend, but dumped her without a second thought for Indigo after their first kiss.

They are going steady now and hope to enjoy their new relationship for awhile before Grim comes:

In other news, Periwinkle took the sculptures she made in China over to the Consignment Shop. When they sold later that day, she gained 3 levels in her Sculptor's Profession, bringing her to level 7. She's ready to have her first child and so is Oliver, but I think it will be wise to wait a bit longer. I'm nearing the midpoint of the Dynasty and have to start thinking about how to manage the end of it. Having children later in life will help make sure there are slots available in the Dynasty house when the time comes for the next generation. As sad as it is, Kenny and Indigo need to die before it goes much further.
Oliver continues to make ice sculptures, trying to reach that magical number of 25 so he'll be able to sculpt Periwinkle after Kenny is gone. Chartreuse does her own thing with guitar and painting. She doesn't have much to do with the rest of the family. Carina spends a lot of time in her garden, as always. I think I'll have her grow some extra Death Flowers just in case some spares are needed for accidents.
