Artie's Lunar Lunacy

[Wiry]

Bye bye Reka. I never liked you anyway 

[SimBlip]

At first I thought Adrasteia's voices were those of previous Grim Spouses. A bit naieve probably to think that the females, who did so much for the dynasty, would somehow be there for the last generation. It didn't add up in numbers either.
It feels good to see Francisco in action, though. I hope, he is the He-voice she heard.
You've been incredibly creative and productive of late. Your updates are facinating and much appreciated. 

[Ricalynn]

HOLY BATBALLS BATMAN!! And that's not what I said when after I read that! Way to go Witchybutt oh and Rueben!

I hope this means you approve.

Just... just.... Is that inside Adrasteia's head?

No that's an alien command center thing..

Huh. So I was sorta right.  Well, at least things well be quieter for Addy now!

Like I said you had 2 out of 4 which wasn't bad.  You still have time to try and guess the fourth but it's random and you would really have to know me and my story thought process to get it.  I think there is only two people in the whole world who would guess that one.  They both already know.

Bye bye Reka. I never liked you anyway 

She's not gone.  She's just not in charge.  Wait til you see the next thing I have planned

I wouldn't say Naive.  It could have happened.  You never know.  Considering I didn't even know who the four voices were until yesterday or the day before (can't remember). 
The updates is because I finally have the inspiration to get it done.  I'm not sure how much of that is NyQuil induced though.  Been handling a cold I got over the holidays and due to health concerns, it takes forever for me to actually get rid of colds.  I've been planning the finale for the Grims for a long time.  I'm finally in a position where I'm confident that it's ok to proceed as planned.

I appreciate everyone reading and making this story what it has been.  Artie wouldn't be Artie without his audience.  I also hope that you all truly approve of what we have in the works next.

This has been a truly inspiring journey. It has gone so far beyond just an Immortal Dynasty story. I would love to comment on everything I loved, but there is always too much. I just think that this is wonderful, and thank you so much for writing it.

Don't worry we still have at least 6 updates that I can think of.  In fact I'm working on a mellow one right now.  Seasons has come to Lunar Lakes!

Thank you for your support.  I really appreciate it. 

[RainBeau]

I thought that might sound like I was thinking it was the end, but that's not how I meant it. I was just struck by the last update and since I read Artie's story from the beginning, I felt like that moment to express how I feel about the story

[Ricalynn]

Addy's Other Head Voice: "Hey it's kind of echoey in here without the other two."
Addy's Other Other Head Voice: "It is. Now why are we visiting the Summer Festival."
Adrasteia: "Terrence asked me out."
Addy's Other Head Voice: "I thought you were going to try and be more faithful to Gilberto."
Adrasteia: "I'm eternally faithful."
Addy's Other Other Head Voice: "Then why are you out on a date with someone else?"
Adrasteia: "I don't know.. hey.. I just got rid of two of you and I still have a headache."


Terrence: "I.. What happened?"
Adrasteia: "You've been in wolf form since the full moon and I used a spell to make you revert back."
Terrence: "Should I be thanking you?"
Adrasteia: "Probably.  You're a lot cuter without your fangs hanging out.  Well it's been fun but I'm ending our date now."
Terrence: "Wait.. we're dating?"
Adrasteia: "No.  You asked me here.  I accepted for unknown reasons and now I'm leaving you here all alone to call my real boyfriend over for fun."
Terrence: "Wait.. I.. how am I supposed to feel about this?"
Adrasteia: "Don't know. Don't care."


Adrasteia: "What's a tanning bed?"
Addy's Other Head Voice: "It's supposed to darken your skin or something."
Addy's Other Other Head Voice: "It can't be good for you."
Adrasteia: "I'm going to try it."


Adrasteia: "Hey check me out!"
Addy's Other Other Head Voice: "But it's fake."
Adrasteia: "Yeah but it's not bad either."


Addy's Other Head Voice: -laughing- "it's so fake it bronzed your tiger face."


Adrasteia: "Do you know what you're doing?"
Terrence: "No but I figured I would try it with you since we went out on a date."
Adrasteia: "Umm.. no thanks.." -trips him and skates away-
Terrence: "Oh come on.  Can we be friends?"


Adrasteia: "Sure we can be friends.  Go stand by that net and I'm going to kick this ball."
Terrence: "Ok then what?"


Adrasteia: "Fetch!"
Terrence: "Ahh!"
Adrasteia: "Guess you don't know that trick yet huh?"
Terrence: "That's a horrible thing to say."
Addy's Other Other Head Voice: "Yes just a bit rude but clever all at the same time. Maybe we should find him a stick"
Addy's Other Head Voice: "I love it!"


Terrence: "You sure you want to do this?"
Adrasteia: "Why not" -shrugs- "Bring it on furrball."


.... so close


Terrence: "Aww too bad."
Adrasteia: "When you eat hot dogs, does it make you feel like a cannibal?"
Terrence: -blanches-
Adrasteia: "What?  Just saying."


Adrasteia: "Whoops.. I think that one hit something."
Addy's Other Head Voice: "Better hope it wasn't important."
Addy's Other Other Head Voice: "Let's tell the others to come down tomorrow.  I want to see them fall on the skating rink."
Addy's Other Head Voice: "Yea!"
Adrasteia: "That would be awesome!"


Mr Bigglesworth: "You have catnip right behind your ear.. mmm"
Grims away - cats will play. Aka random kitten cuteness


Ares: "Hey watch what you're doing, son."
Apollo: "I'm not sure this is a good idea."
Ares: "Suck it up.  Be a man.  Just roller skates."


Airica: "I knew you guys were pigs.  C'mon.  Artie you really going to let this little guys beat you?"
Adrasteia: "Mom.. maybe we should do other stuff."
Airica: "Oh fine."


Aker: "Hey Rica.."
Airica: "What? Think you got what it takes old man?"




Aker: "Ha!"
Airica: "Oof.  Ok.  So maybe I need to talk less and toss more."
Witchybutt: "Maybe but I don't mind seeing you all wet."
Airica: "Hey.. Less watching my butt and more holding things together."
Witchybutt: "I can do both!"


Amon: "Haha.  Going to have to do better than that sweetheart.  Might want to kick off the heels too."
Adrasteia: "Hey no fair!"
Amon: "What?  Just because I'm old doesn't mean I don't know how to move."
Adrasteia: "You're on."


Artie: "And still the champeen!"
Airica: "You mean still the high pig."
Artie: "Shut it woman!"


Ares: "Neeener Neener neener"
Amon: "I'm just not sure how to handle this."
Ares: "Kick the ball!"
Amon: "Ok you asked for it."


And a just because it was purdy shot. 


Stay tuned.. who are the other two voices in Addy's Head?  Will she ever take off the face paint?  Has she decided to fail or complete the dynasty?  Will Airica ever return to watcher land?  What happened to Reka? Can Witchbutt hold it together?  Does the fighting ever end?   

These and more answers coming... eventually

[RainBeau]

That shot of the guys competing in the hot dog eating contest was a classic. So would I be correct in surmising that Reka and Witchybutt were the two voices that are gone now?

Reka was Head Voice and Witchybutt was Other Other Other so 1 & 4. 

[RainBeau]

Okay, that goes along with what I was thinking before.

[Ricalynn]

This picture fits nowhere.  Nowhere!  So i'm sharing it outside of an update so there's no pressure of finding a spot for it.  Check out Miss Thang.

[Ricalynn]

Adrasteia: "Am I getting fat as well as wrinkled?" -mid life crises still swinging big-
Gilberto: "Addy.. are you hiding in the bathroom again?"
Adrasteia: -fake accent- "No one named Addy here."
Gilberto: "Adrasteia Grim.. get out here this minute."


Gilberto: "What are you so worried for huh?"
Adrasteia: "I don't know."
Gilberto: "You look great.  Just as sexy as the first day I met you."
Adrasteia: "You sure you're not just saying that?"


Gilberto: "Addy.. you're my world."
Adrasteia: "Really?"
Gilberto: "Really really.  You are everything to me. "


Adrasteia: "You're so sweet to me.  Why do you stick around?"
Gilberto: "Because your family is full of weird and crazy people and I figure whenever you guys finish whatever it is you're doing, I'll get my chance to whisk you away forever."
Fireflies: "Take him to the wardrobe."
Addy's Other Other Head Voice: "Yes the wardrobe.  He deserves a little something for being so sweet."
Adrasteia: -clenched teeth- "pipe it down."


Gilberto: "What are they saying now?"
Adrasteia: "You know.. I'm not sure I could ever thank you enough for understanding me."
Gilberto: "Probably not.  So what did they say?"
Adrasteia: "To take you for a ride in the wardrobe."
Gilberto: "I'm ok with that."
Adrasteia: -laughs-


Gilberto: "Hey.. when did you guys get fur coats?"
Adrasteia: "Fur coats? I don't know. "


Gilberto: "Ummm."
Adrasteia: "I don't think we're on the moon anymore."
Gilberto: "You think?"


*Pop*


Fireflies: "She's here.  She's Here.  Adrasteia. Adrasteia.  We're so glad to see you!"
Adrasteia: "Oh hey guys.. what are you doing here?"
Fireflies: -multiple giggles- "This is our home."
Adrasteia: "Where am I then?"
Gilberto: "I can't figure it out.  What's with the lamppost?"


Red Winged Fairy: "Look who finally made it."
Adrasteia: "Hey I know your voice.. "
Gilberto: "I'm lost is that a unicorn?"
Red Winged Fairy: "Yes.  It's good to finally get the chance to break the mind link once again. You don't really need me anymore."
Roamer: "Hello little one."
Adrasteia: "Wow.. are you real?"
Roamer: "More than Real.  I was the best friend of your great grandfather, Amon.  He released me to the wild so the line could continue on."
Adrasteia: "So wait.. you've been in my head." -points to flyboy- "And you used to live in Lunar Lakes" -points to unicorn- "And now we're all here.." -points to ground- "Why?"


Roamer: "This is the world of the magical.  It's a special realm that few may travel and usually only with help.  We wanted to ask for your help and Gilberto's."
Gilberto: "My help?  What could I do?"
Red Winged Fairy: "There is so much we can teach you if you would let us.  But there is a small price."
Adrasteia: "There's always a but isn't there."


Roamer: "We need Adrasteia to fulfill her destiny.  She must become the eighth so we can heal her world and free her ancestors."
Addy's Last Remaining Head Voice: "Like me!"
Red Winged Fairy: "There are things that need to be done once it's all done."
Roamer: "We feel that things have changed and that the old reasons no longer appeal to you.  So we are offering another incentive." 
Gilberto: "What kind of incentive?"
Adrasteia: "What kind of offer?"


Red Winged Fairy: "Please please finish your tasks.  One opp, 2 portraits is all we ask.  Taste the ambrosia"
Addy's Last Head Voice: "Free me!"
Roamer: "Yes free the others, finish the tasks. And we will give you a second chance at a life you've always wished for.   We will rewind time and bring you both here to be where you can live and love each other forever. " 
Gilberto: "What's the catch?"
Adrasteia: "Why?  Why should I?"
Red Winged Fairy: "The catch is in order to prepare for such an undertaking we would need Gilberto to stay with us.  The other answer is.. why not?  What could you possibly gain from failing the family?"
Adrasteia: "I .. I don't know.  There has just been so much going on lately..So many extra voices.."
Red Winged Fairy: "Regardless of your choice, I will not be returning."
Addy's Last Head Voice: "Just me then.  Free me.  You want to free me... "
Roamer: "Shh.  Let her think."
Addy's Other Head Voice: "So not cool that you can hear me."
Gilberto: "So not cool that I can hear you."


Adrasteia: "Tell me what you think about everything.  Do you want to stay here?  What do you want?  WHat should I do?"
Roamer: "I'll even bake you a wedding cake."
Red Winged Fairy: "I like cake."
Addy's Last Head Voice: "Shh.  Let them think."
Gilberto: "It's all a lot to think about. And I can't help but feel like there are things we're not being told."


Roamer: "There are a lot of things that I must beg you not to ask."
Adrasteia: "He's begging us not to ask.. I'm begging you to tell me what you want."


Gilberto: "For you I would do anything.  For a chance at a new life.  Just you and me forever.  I'd be willing to do it if you were."
Adrasteia: "It's something I always knew I could never have."
Gilberto: "But now you can.  Do you want it?"
Adrasteia: "Yes.  Yes I think I do."
GIlberto: "One opp and two portraits isn't a lot in the scheme of things."
Adrasteia: "No it's not.  But it's several weeks without you."
Gilberto: "What is several weeks to that of a lifetime?  We have our memories to keep us warm during the times of absense and a lifetime to look forward to making many more.  I say we take this chance and make them hold up their end of the bargain or I'm having glowbug soup."
Adrasteia: "-laughs- Alright.. we'll do it."


Roamer: "We prepare you for the journey home.  Be safe and remember your promise."


Roamer: "And you are now prepared to stay behind.  Remember your promise."


Gilberto: "I'm going to miss you, beautiful."
Adrasteia: "I'm going to miss you.  Think I should get rid of the facepaint?"
Gilberto: "Only if you want to."
Adrasteia: "I'll see you in a couple of weeks.  Be safe.  Don't forget me."
Gilberto: "No one could ever forget you."
Adrasteia: "I'm going to hold you to that. I got connections you know."
Gilberto: "Yeah I know."


Adrasteia: "Goodbye."
Gilberto: "No not goodbye just see you soon."




Adrasteia: "Gilberto?"
Addy's Last Head Voice: "Nope just me."
Adrasteia: "So I didn't fall asleep in the wardrobe."
Addy's Last Head Voice: "Nope.. sorry."
Adrasteia: "I think it's time for some new clothes."
Addy's Last Head Voice: "I think that's a brilliant idea."

[ladyaya]

Awwe, Addy looks beautiful~ <3
I'm thinking I know who the last voice in her haid is, but I doubt it. 
Is the red fairy a Grim relation?
What's Addy's hairstyle and her everyday dress?

[thesweetestpea]

Like I said you had 2 out of 4 which wasn't bad.  You still have time to try and guess the fourth but it's random and you would really have to know me and my story thought process to get it.  I think there is only two people in the whole world who would guess that one.  They both already know.

Heh heh. My mouth is shut on this matter.

She's not gone.  She's just not in charge.  Wait til you see the next thing I have planned

I appreciate everyone reading and making this story what it has been.  Artie wouldn't be Artie without his audience.  I also hope that you all truly approve of what we have in the works next.

Is it bad that I'm getting a fiendishly delighted moodlet out of this?

I can't wait to see the big reveal of the whole story. Only single digits in the updates left to go!

[sdhoey]

Addy had a little mid life crisis going on there I see.  Gonna make life miserable for everyone because she could not have what she wanted in life. I love this girl!
