Chapter 20- Photo BombHey! Welcome back to the Matsuri-Greenwood DecaDynasty. We've hit 20 chapters! Woo! *Clears throat* Back to business. So, in the last chapter, our heir, Goldenrod, became a handsome young man. Shortly after aging up, he discovered that his ladyfriend, Justine, also aged up. Goldenrod quickly called her over.
Goldenrod quickly proposed and Justine accepted happily. You WOULD have been able to see it if the maid hadn't decided to walk by right at that moment.
Maid: I'm not interrupting anything, am I? Oh a proposal! I wish I could find romance like that!
After shooing the maid away, we rejoin the newly engaged couple as they celebrated their special moment with an embrace. All together now: AWWW!
Goldenrod: Watcher?
Malley: Yes?
Goldenrod: Can we, uh, have a moment alone?
Malley: Fine.
I moved the cursor over a half a millimeter to pretend to give Goldenrod some space with his beloved. Once Justine agreed to marry him, Goldenrod sent his lady packing so that he could get down to business. He had already maxed the handiness skill, so he was now going to need to begin working on the other necessary skill to advance in his career: athletics. Goldenrod would not be maxing the skill, just in case I wanted to do that for a later generation, but he would be learning it nonetheless.
Inside, Abraham and Poppy were getting in their own "workout." In Citrine's shower. Yeah, that is not going to frighten your teenage daughter at all...
Citrine: *thinking* Just keep tinkering, just keep tinkering...
So, as you may have guessed, Goldenrod was joining the military. He looks pretty good in his uniform and Goldenrod seemed to think so too.
Goldenrod: If I wasn't engaged, hooo boy, I would be a stud muffin!
Malley: Get your behind to boot camp, Goldy.
Back in the world of sanity, it was time for Citrine to grow up into a young adult.
Here is young adult Citrine.
She gained the
Eccentric trait. I'm not sure if I mentioned it, but she also gained the
Over-Emotional trait on her teenage birthday. Citrine's lifetime wish is to become a
Descendant of Da Vinci.
Shortly after her birthday, clad in her jammies, Citrine built her first time machine. Hooray!
Goldenrod was doing quite well with his job. Because of his high handiness skill, he was getting a promotion almost daily. Goldenrod also got some opportunities from his career, including one that required him to go to Shang Simla to learn the martial arts skill. He quickly booked a trip to China.
One annoyingly long loading screen later, Goldenrod was in Shang Simla.
Shang Simla was just plain gorgeous.
In fact, it looked even better without the limo in the middle of the picture.
For those who may not know, I actually am a martial artist. Well, a retired martial artist since I am no longer practicing. Why do I mention that? Because I can assure you that trying to kick in sandals is not a good idea.
Goldenrod: Sandals or not, I still earned my white belt, Watcher!
Malley: Um, I'm not entirely sure you can really
earn a white belt. Any martial art that I've heard of usually starts with a white belt.
Goldenrod: Don't ruin my moment.
Proud of his white belt, Goldenrod went off to do some shopping and mingling with the locals.
Goldenrod: Hey there, book lady, as you can see, I have a white belt. Pretty cool, right?
Book Lady: Um, my little brother has a black belt, so...good for you?
Goldenrod only spent one day in China because travelling is limited in a decadynasty. Back at home, Goldenrod got back to work. Citrine continued working on her inventing skill and eventually maxed it.
Abraham also wanted in on the celebrations and maxed the logic skill.
With the inventing skill checked off of her list, Citrine continued working on her lifetime wish and moved back to painting.
That is all for now. Until next time!
