A Twitch of a Tale (Nine Lives Dynasty) 5.2: Things to ChaseNova: Remember where we were at the end of last week? Selvadorada, yes! I loved it here once Watcher decided it was safe for me to prowl.

Nova: Spot taught Spook how to fish which they both loved as they both like being outdoors.

Nova: Seema ran around the jungle barefoot and found lots of interesting things. She found some curses as well but a simple donation to the market place statue seemed to get rid of most things.

Nova: Spot became more adult while we were there.

Nova: Seema and Spot enjoyed a romantic time at one end of the table while the teens chatted at the other. They seemed romantic too. Aren’t they cousins?
Watcher: Second cousins
Nova: Ah – that’s OK then.

Nova: After I age up to an adult, Seema decides that getting the random spoiled cupcake in the post is not sufficient reward for being the hero she is and so she is pursuing a new interest.

Seema: See – I’m right! This is the perfect place to build a self-sufficient homestead.
Spot: Self-sufficient? But my job?
Seema: You’ll be too busy to go out to work, Spot. We’ll need all hands on deck with the animal care and gardening.
Spot: Oh, OK.
Seema: The teens too – it’ll keep them out of trouble as they’ve graduated early.
Jennie: But I want to be a vet.
Seema: You’ll be looking after the animals here, instead.

Orion: Hi, Nova, what are you looking at?
Nova: What’s this for?
Orion: Seema’s having a cow?
Nova: Is that a euphemism?
Orion: No, she really is getting a cow, called Semolina.

Nova: Chickens
Spook: Cockerel
Nova: They look fun to chase…

Seema: I knew with my help, you’d get your A quickly. Happy Birthday, Spook.
Spot: Well done, son.
Spook: I’m going to work really hard and get my High School A quickly too!

Watcher: I don’t think you need to use your bike for this trip. It’s only just over the bridge.
Choo-Choo: You bought us all bikes, me old mucker. It’s better than Shanks’ pony

Nova: Seema found even more things for me to chase and brought them to help in the garden
[ You are not allowed to view attachments ] [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
Nova: But she isn’t having it all her own way. The Cockney Princess also wants to be a vet and is very willing to train up daughter Jennie so they buy the veterinary hospital in Brindleton Bay. They’ve only got 1.5 stars after their first session but it looks promising. There’s lots for me to do there so I’m very happy to help out.

Nova: Mistoffelees takes Jennie to his favourite place, the library, to discuss things on their own, without Seema interfering. When they come back they quickly age-up using Spook’s day-old birthday cake.
[ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
Nova: It’s Jennie that has the awkward conversation with Seema and asks for her blessing. Seema had high hopes of an advantageous match for Toff but Jennie reminds her of the desire for a child to get married to sweeten the deal. Seema was already distracted by Spook somehow getting an A without ever going to High School so he graduated early as well. The wishing well sure has some strange consequences.

Nova: I give my approval too. I think they make an excellent couple.
[ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
Nova: Toff decides to seize the moment in the middle of the garden.
[ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
Nova: To top off the excitement, Spook decides to age up and join the secret service so he really is a spook now! He’s become very erratic now but was very focussed when someone called Isla dropped round to see him.
[ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
Nova: Very focussed indeed.
Semolina: Moo!

Nova: And that brings this week to an end, with the Cockney Princess decorating a cake that will be needed on Sunday!

NotesA family tree of our founder Joy’s descendants showing the relationship between Jennie & Toff

I showed my vet nurse daughter the veterinary hospital. She wasn’t impressed that I always take the temperature first as it stresses the patients irl. She advises less intrusive exams first – working nose to tail. She was very impressed that the patients hop on the exam table all by themselves as she has many minor scars from patients who are definitely not willing to do that.
A quick view of the new houseplan – no bedrooms as I use Rally The Troops constantly.
