A Twitch of a Tale (Nine Lives Dynasty) 7.1: Lucky For SomeNova: Hellooooo! Can anyone see me? Oh, Toff. I’m not sure brushing me will do much good. Who’s got the ambrosia treats? Aha, Albert has them. And the Age-Down treats. Great. My seventh life has begun
Nova: Mac has clearly gone back to eating too much grilled cheese as a coping mechanism while I was absent. He’s also upset that the wishing well is resisting all known tactics and refusing to get him promoted. Chloe is trying to be sensitive about his increased weight gain.
Nova: This green princess is Albert’s kit, Roxanne. She has a lot to say while in her jammies. The line between inside and outside in our island home is very blurry so jammies are good wherever.
Nova: Roxanne is just the right size to hug me properly while I’m in my kitten stage.
Nova: Albert dresses as a cockerel for work at the moment. Chloe tries to tell him that she finds it embarrassing but he’s trying to stay in character.
Nova: Any room for me up there?
Nova: Norah quite rightly is concerned about the cake on fire. She ducks and talks to herself in order to calm down.
Nova: The blue princesses age up into Good Overachiever Chloe
Nova: And Cat-Loving Genius Chartreux. She is not happy about her party outfit of baggy t-shirt and long skirt so mother Norah sorts it out so that Chartreux can still wear her jammies. Even when her drone streams her Simfluencer tasks.
Nova: Mac has his alien-impregnated baby Pixel. I think she is fully human despite/because Mac is a Spellcaster. Madilyn panicked when she arrived but Mac was proud to show Pixel off to her. Their son Carson is a spellcaster toddler now with human skin and red hair.
Nova: Time for Pixel to age up into a furry princess and yes, she has no crystal or Spellcaster icon and no she has no alien identifiers. She appears to be fully human.
Nova: A Cold Red Beard shows up with presents but he’s had to swim to the island so he’s in his trunks. I am an adult now and I am musing on the absurdity of swimming with a bag of presents.
Nova: Roxanne’s twin Kiersten comes to visit for their Aunt Norah’s wedding. The sisters are very pleased to see each other again.
Nova: Norah is now officially a Party Animal and a Computer Whiz, bringing her aspiration count to 4. With her kits being independent teens, she has decided to marry the equally erratic Andy and move out to make an erratic home of their own. The wedding ceremony has many pauses for the happy couple to talk to themselves.
Nova: Norah’s furry sister Cherish stays on to help her green kit Roxanne age into an Outgoing green princess.
Nova: Albert does his fatherly duty and reads to Roxanne while I snooze.
Nova: You’d think there isn’t room on here for me, but there is. The furry princess gives good hugs.

NotesPixel is named for the titular character of Robert Heinlein’s “The Cat Who Walked Through Walls”. The premise of the cat’s ability was that it didn’t know it couldn’t so it did.
I’m using Pinstar’s Trait updated trait generator for all traits. For alien abduction children, the 2ndary parental traits are taken from a significant care-giver. Chartreux’s cat-loving came totally out of the blue but does mark her as a main companion.
Cherish is very hairy. I haven’t quite worked out the best way to change her body hair setting or at least give her more concealing outfits. I might move her in and then move her straight out again as that’s within the rules. Maybe I’m hair-phobic but it just looks wrong. I don’t think Albert likes it either. He has had a whim to Break Up With Cherish (because of their romantic relationship!) for ages which I’m ignoring for the sake of Roxanne & Kiersten.
With the start of year 9, Spring on the way, and the gen 6 not needing such a tiny home for skilling, the family may be on the move to less tropical weather. Now...where hasn't our dynastic family resided...?
