Thanks Raia!
First Impressions Count
Lexa, Roderick and I would like to welcome you to Lunar Lakes.
This is the house we're going to be living in. It's one of the ones that's empty at the start of the game (obviously), and it's up in one of the craters. Which I didn't really think through properly, as it takes aaaagggeeees to get anywhere.
Lexa isn't impressed.
Lexa: How do you expect me to live here? It's all old and fusty and small and...
You're not a snob, are you?
Lexa: No, but I'm the Empress of Evil! I deserve better! And less floral.
Floral patterns aren't very evil, no, I get your point. I'll redecorate, while you get moving on the baby bit.
That hardly took much persuading.
I gave Roderick his makeover before letting them Try for Baby, though. Otherwise, knowing my luck, the baby would have been born with grey hair. And that would be unfortunate.
Roderick's LTW is to be a Five Star Chef, so I send him to the Diner in order to get a job. I don't know if he'll have chance to complete it; I'll probably change it to Culinery Librarian or something when he has the points. But it's useful to have a cook in the family, seeing as Lexa's banned from cooking as it was Abbie's supermax. He's got some fairly decent traits actually.
Lexa: Excuse me. Less of the focus on him, and more on me. I'm the heir.
Not for that much longer.
Some neighbours arrive to welcome Lexa and Roderick to the neighbourhood. As you can see, Lexa and Theo Cardamon are getting on great already.
Theo: Oh, you're evil.
Lexa: Ewww! He's GOOD!
Maybe it's better you stick to blowing yourself up, instead, while Roderick schmoozes Theo, as he's his boss anyway.
Lexa: I hate you Roderick! I knew you were a rubbish cook!
Couldn't it be something to do with that whole Try for Baby thing this morning?
Lexa: No. Something as puny as a baby could not make the almighty Lexa CrumpleSteel ill.
Except for it just did.
Roderick: It's okay, it's just hormones.
No, she really is this big-headed. It's the one bit of being evil she's actually any good at.
Lexa: Wow. Why is everyone round here so good, family oriented and cowardly? Where are all the cool evil people hanging out?
Lexa: Aha! My minion! It's growing!
It. Minion. Oh dear me. And yes, I haven't put a table in yet so Roderick has to eat his breakfast on the side of the bath.
Lexa: Mwahaha! Mwahaha! Mwahahahahaha!
Roderick: Did you say something dear?
Lexa: Oh, just that I'm going to finally take over the world.
Roderick sensibly escapes to the library to read cookbooks.
Lexa, meanwhile, does chemistry.
Lexa: Lexa is, in fact, doing evil genius chemistry.
The watcher thinks Lexa shouldn't refer to herself in the third person.
Lexa: Lexa will do what she likes.
