Olympus Dreams 2.7: Girls, Girls, GirlsHermes: HEY, WATCHER?
Watcher: No need to shout, I’m right here!
Hermes: Are you seeing this?
Watcher: Difficult to miss those pink ends.
Hermes: I was too nervous to invite Candy on a date but I thought one of my legendary Kava Parties would be a good idea.
Watcher: It looks like it was – does that count as socializing with the guests? We need another Gold…
Hermes: It’s fine. Ares is introducing himself to everyone he doesn’t know.

Hermes: I asked if she’d go steady and she said “Yes”.

Hermes: We both squee-ed a little bit which wasn’t very cool but then Ares didn’t notice because he’d not only hooked up with Sofia but they’ve started dating too!
[ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
Hermes: Oh – that’s cool. My nephew Apollo has completed his space print collection. I must admit, that’s pretty awesome – isn’t the universe a wondrous place!

Artemis: My brothers can sort out the sleeping arrangements while I make a start on the bug-collecting. They’ll have to share a double bed and the girls can share the twin room. I’ve got dibs on the double room downstairs. I’m not sure why the boys wanted to invite the girls along – they don’t look like the outdoorsy type… Now – there’s a knack to catching this Will-o-the-Wisp. It’s up there but I have to look down here…gotcha!

Hermes: So girls we thought…
Ares: Since you two seem to have got off on the wrong foot…
Hermes: That a long weekend in Granite Falls would be a good bonding experience
[ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
Sofia: Is this the sort of bonding you had in mind.
Ares: When you’re around, it’s the only sort of bonding I’ve got on my mind.
Sofia: Didn’t Artemis say she was sleeping in this bed?
Ares: She’ll be out with her tent – this is all ours!
[ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
Candy: I don’t know Hermes…your brother and that Sofia are right downstairs and your sister tuts every time we just hold hands.
Hermes: Ares & Sofia are too busy to mind us plus Artemis has gone out collecting bugs.
Candy: If you’re sure?
Hermes: Let me show you how sure I am!

Hermes: I’m glad we got back in time for the Humour and Hijinks Festival.
Ares: Brilliant idea, bro – we’re going to scare the pants off all those Jokesters with my Skeleton Scare interaction.
Hermes: Oh ho ho! I’m feeling Very Playful!
Ares: Me too! I ca-ha-ha-n’t stop laughing!
Watcher: Quick – back home – as quickly as you can!
Hermes: But – we - he, he – ‘ve got plans
Ares: Scare – he, he – y plans!
Watcher: I’m not kidding – home to bed! Right Now! Phew – that was close.

Apollo: Again? This must be the third time you’ve beamed me up. I wonder what you want this time?
[ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
Sofia: Thanks for inviting me to your Kava Party again.
Ares: Well, I was thinking about what you said.
Sofia: About spending some alone time together?
Ares: Yes and…will you marry me?
Sofia: Oh yes! That would be wonderful!
Ares: Right now?
Sofia: As soon as ever we can!
Watcher: Just move to this more photogenic spot…
[ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
Hermes: So, I know it’s not a competition or anything, but I’d really like to get married too! To you!
Candy: Oh yes! Please! But I’d quite like a full wedding party – the whole white dress – you know!
Hermes: I’d like that too. You’ll look amazing. We’ll just keep calm and make some plans. Plus, I really want to find the last Fingers of Sulani – the “common” red ones! Who knew that would be the last to be found!

NotesApologies for another 3 week block. It was mostly spent with Artemis wandering around the Granite Falls, looking for the elusive Jewel Beetles and Stick Insects. I finally found them with the help of a detailed website plus a lot of patience. She just needs to sleep 3 more nights in a tent to complete her aspiration. Since she’s never slept in anything else, I did wonder if that would auto-complete but no…
Granite Falls appeared to have only spawned Poison Fireleaf. Uprooting a couple of those plants allowed the game to respawn with regular Fireleaf to complete Artemis’ collection. Also, the (poison)fireleaf spot behind the outdoor shower block in the National Park appears to be buggy. You can tend it but any cuttings taken disappear and it doesn’t seem to fruit.
Father Winter gets invited to all our parties – he does enjoy celebrating after all! I’m not sure why Sofia and Candy weren’t on good terms. It’s possible that Zeus had something to do with it…
Hermes is doing back-to-back scuba- and free-diving, searching the cave and holding Kava Parties but that last item of buried treasure, a common one apparently, just will not turn up! It’s somewhat frustrating!
Ares moved in with Sofia and her sister in Windenberg. He got hysterical several times but he was OK when I left them to it! Will Candy move in or will Hermes move out when the time is right.
@oshizu reckons they’ll make lovely babies….
