Orion.
Join the fan club!
I may be biased, but Luna is going to be an evil genius when she grows up, or maybe a mad scientist!
Orion has a fan club? Cool! Works for me. Two votes for Team Orion.
I've got no preference at this point. I like evil geniuses, but by the end of a dynasty they can be a bit wearing.
Luna actually had a pretty good relationship with everyone. The real problem is the Nerd influence. Everyone constantly wants to do the "Berate Ignorance" interaction to each other, which lowers their relationships.
Chapter 10- Teen YearsLuna headed to the local cemetery to get a job there while Orion was putting his new teen outfit together.
She was so sweet to pick up some seeds for me that she found on her way back.
Orion eventually headed down to the cemetery to get a job as well. They were both still in the running to be the heir, so they were both going to complete all of the requirements.
Both Luna and Orion came home quickly so that Camillo could tutor them before school began on Monday. Luna went first because she was the oldest.
Orion made good use of his time by working on his Logic skill. Between the peg box and the tutoring from his father, he was already at level 7 of the skill. Because they were vampires, I feared that both Luna and Orion would learn skills too quickly in some cases and eliminate the chance of rolling a 5,000 point wish, which would only serve to make their requirements harder. I know that one from experience. I made sure to remind them both to take things slowly so that they don't make things harder on themselves. I also did it because I wanted to delay having to make the decision between them on who would become the heir.
Orion had more success than Camillo did at first...
He didn't get much more time to work on any more potions because Camillo came calling for him. Luna had an A, so it was now time for Orion to get prepared for school.
While Orion enjoyed pursuits of the mind, Luna preferred pursuits of the body. She was naturally athletic, so she quickly picked up the Athletic skill. I mean "she picked it up quickly" both literally and figuratively. She was a vampire, after all.
Tutoring over, Orion headed to his room and began to work with his telescope.
The twins did very well in school and quickly got on the honor roll. Camillo and I were both very proud of them. Since we had a little more money is the family, we decided to splurge a little bit and buy some cars. We bought one for Luna and Orion because of all of their hard work in school and with their requirements.
Camillo volunteered to teach both Luna and Orion how to drive. This is how far out the door that Orion got before he had mastered the driving skill. They didn't even get into the car. Neither of them.
Another requirement that Orion and Luna had to complete was to have a romantic interest. Orion met a nice girl named Janet Yeager and invited her over so he could make her his RI. He felt bad about having to ask her out simply because of a requirement, so they stayed together all throughout high school.
Luna, on the other hand, was a bit more...well, evil about it. She got a nice boy named Cecil Beltran to become her RI and then asked him to just be friends all in one fell swoop. Hey, at least she's honest.
Now thinking back, I think she made the right decision because he was a babysitter and his aging was buggy (he was still in high school when the next generation was there and then was suddenly and old man when Gen.3 was an Adult).
Camillo had a lot of time to himself when the kids were at school and I was out in the garden or at work. He had a couple of points of the Charisma skill when he and I first met and he decided to continue working on it.
On the weekend, the twins spent some time brushing up on their skills before heading off to their cemetery jobs. Luna maxed the Athletic skill but my smart girl wouldn't do it until she rolled the wish first.
Unline Luna, this burglar was not a genius.
She was quickly apprehended by the police, but not without first waking up the whole household.
The nerve of some people.
