Adrasteia: "Hey this kind of feels funny."
...
Adrasteia: "What do you mean how can I tell? My feet are in a barrell full of grapes!"
Artie: "Hey Check it out. I finally got a new hairstyle for work."
Airica: "That's nice. Back to my book."
Artie: "Woman.. you're no fun."
Airica: "I need another two opportunities! I figure writing might trigger it."
Artie: "Fine just throw the dynasty requirements in my face."
Adrasteia: "Wingardium Leviosa!"
Carmen Crocker: "Addy! What are you doing?!"
Adrasteia: "What? Just a little good luck charm. No reason to get all jumpy."
Carmen: "Uh huh."
Adrasteia: "This has been a great party, Morris. Here have a gift.." -tosses a bottle at his feet and laughs maniacally-
Morris: "Why.. why is everything just sooo sad?"
Adrasteia: "I can't tell.. we really need to get that stuff on your face so I can see your expressions better."
Morris: "What do you mean?"
Adrasteia: "I mean I have a bee elixir here and I want to see you scream. Then I promise to use the friendship one again so you'll be ok with it."
Morris: "Huh?" -dog sideways head thing-
Morris: "Ahh! Bees! Bees! How could you?!"
Adrasteia: "Morris.. I did just tell you it was going to happen."
Airica: "Hey! I finally did it!"
Artie: "Did what?!"
Airica: "I managed to max out my career with a few days to spare."
Aker: "That's great sweetie."
Amon: "Knew you could do it."
Ares: "Haha. I love it when you guys get distracted."
Airica: "Hmm. Now what to do. Oh I think I'll write some more. Tell all of Lunar Lakes about Artie and his children."
Artie: "Huh?"
Airica: "Oh nothing.."
Artie: "Wait is she doing what I think she's doing?"
Ares: "I don't now is she?"
Aker: "It could be. You know how she is."
Amon: "She does it because you guys taught her how."
Apollo: "Can't you do anything about her?"
Aker: "If he" -points at Artie- "has no control over her, what makes you think I do?"
Adrasteia: "Transfiguro Bufo!"
Gilberto: "Ahh--Ribbit"
Adrasteia: "Hold on honey.. I have the elixir right here."
Gilberto: "Ribbit ribbit ribbit RIbbit!"
Adrasteia: "I know I know but you did say you didn't mind helping since we can't really do anything else until your birthday."
Gilberto: *croak* "Ribbit!"
Adrasteia: "See.. I have it right here." -tosses bottle at his feet-
Gilberto: "Ribb-- Ahh!"
Adrastiea: "How do you feel?"
Gilberto: "I no longer feel slimey."
Adrasteia: "It's not slime, it's mucus."
Gilberto: "Whatever. I still feel like a bath though."
Adrasteia: "Are you mad?"
Gilberto: "No. I said I would help. I just don't think I could handle doing anymore ok?"
Adrasteia: "Ok."
So we had the coolest glitch in the Grim house. Adrasteia woke up needing to go to City Hall. No biggie. We started the day working on getting her portrait done. She was in mid portrait pose when it said she had to be at City Hall. She got through the gate and promptly graduated right there on the Grim lot. It was awesome. Everyone was able to get right back to what they were doing.
Of course, one household member did end up going to City Hall. And he was not happy when he realized no one else was coming.
Jamey Littlejohn had a graduation party that night. Addy was playing love doctor and throwing love charms at everyone. In fact she had just had the guy in the back fall in love with the white haired guy talking to Jamey. Then Jamey talked to his new friend. Soon a fight broke out and it was awesome.
Morris: "Fire! Fire! Fire!"
Adrasteia: "You didn't think I'd just play love doctor all night did you?"
Morris: "Fire! Fire! Fire!"
Adrasteia: "Oh just pee on it already."
Airica: "Huh. Artie - you say you got this book from the mailbox?"
Artie: "Yeah why?"
Airica: "This and the two others are all named 'The Grim Family Ties'. They were written under the care of another watcher."
Artie: "Wait.. what? How did that happen. I have never managed to bring anything back before."
Airica: "I know. I've watched."
Artie: "Is it any good?"
Airica: "It's a shortened version of us. Of course it's good."
Artie: "Who wrote it?"
Airica: "Miriellia Harkin under the care of Aya. "
Artie: "Don't now the names. Maybe I should go look that up."
Airica: "I'd be faster at it if you'd just show me how you do it."
Artie: "Sorry.. Grim Family secret."
Angus: "Isn't she in the Grim family now?"
Artie: "Silence!"
Gilberto: "Hey sexy. Guess how had a birthday."
Adrasteia: -gasp- "And you brought flowers!"
Gilberto: "Just for you, lovely lady."
Adrasteia: "Hey. Want to come inside and have a look at my wardrobe?"
Gilberto: -confused- "your wardrobe?"
Adrasteia: -purrs and grabs him by the collar- "Yes my wardrobe."
In Unison: -shared laughter- "What are you wearing?!"
Airica: "So .. how's the new room?"
Adrasteia: "It's great. I just need to upgrade all of these machines and then I can get started on actually stomping the grapes."
Airica: "Just remember we may have to have you learn gardening at one point if it doesn't work."
Adrasteia: "If it doesn't work, we'll just ignore the gardening and work on alchemy."
Airica: "Maybe work on alchemy anyway. We could always use more clowns and cure elixirs."
Adrasteia: "That is so true."
Quick peek at the new room. It gets additions at least four more times right after this picture is taken. An artist is never satisfied.
Look - she actually wears her swimsuit..
Well that didn't last long.
Adrasteia: "Oh no loverboy. When I hit you with that charm, you weren't supposed to try it on me."
Jamie: "Why not?"
Adrasteia: "Because you're married and I'm with someone. Now move along before I find a way to turn you into a toad."
Jamie: "Later."
Adrasteia: "Hey Danny!"
Danny Gothier: "Ahh! What are you doing?!"
Adrasteia: "Helping a brother out. Just a little love charm and I know you won't kiss me after because we're related."
Danny: "But why?!"
Adrasteia: "To learn higher magic of course."
Adrasteia: -casts the haunting curse on her new friend-
Beowulf Bigglesworth: "You really should be careful doing that you know."
New Friend of Addy's: "Oh my watcher! It's a talk dog!"
Adrasteia: "Who are you?"
Beowulf: "My grave has been put away for a long time but I know of your family. Come we must chat."
Adrasteia: "Ok."
Adrasteia: "I'm not sure what to believe now. It seems like so much drama."
...
Beowulf: "No! Ignore that voice. Listen to what I have just told you. Trust the fireflies. Finish your tasks. Dodge your mother's questions."
Adrasteia: "You know she's not a very easy woman to dodge."
Beowulf: "I know but it's a lot easier now that she's not a visible voice in the sky."
Adrasteia: "Wait.. what?"
Beowulf: "You need to go home and turn Artie into a frog until he tells you everything."
Adrasteia: "Ok!"
Beowulf: "Maybe I shouldn't have said something."
Adrasteia: "Don't care. Totally doing it."
Beowulf: "Don't forget what I said about the paper!"
Adrasteia: "I won't!"
