Fromrac 12/31/23 (Sanguara, Lunari, Felan)

 First Family:  Things have taken a romantic turn for the Contessa and Ben.  It's not that Contessa doesn't still yearn for her Count, but he's been gone a long while and it doesn't seem likely they'll be able to bring him back, so she's trying to move forward.

Team #1:  Steven was moved to the containment unit, where he ultimately gave birth to a male offspring who Afi named Shuq.  The baby was placed in the nursery, where he will remain until childhood.  Since Olha is nearly a child, Afi has decided to allow him to continue to sleep in the main living quarters.  Now that Steven has given birth, Afi's first task as Team Leader is to re-inseminate him.

Pack A:  Rose managed to catch a few fish finally and she noticed something very interesting - by day, Humans and Elves identify her as Human, while Ogres believe she is one of them, thereby leaving her alone.  However, when she turns into her animal form at night, she must be careful and prepared to defend herself.

Happy Simming!

 Clan Gore:  Though it's still bitterly cold, the guys have made it through the winter to the first day of spring.  They're really looking forward to being able to feel their fingers and toes again.

Clan Ergo:  Grugg has really been pulling his weight in the clan.  This round he took down a Human (Isaac Mills) and an Elf (Baelri Sylnalyn).

Ergo/Tyler:  Carol Ann is thankful that the family made it safely through the winter and now that spring is here, she can plant her garden once again.  She wants to get it going strong before the baby comes.  (Which will be next round, fyi, as this household has the slow time glitch, which makes the clock move unbearably slowly, but causes certain things to be sped up like pregnancy, crop growth, and relationship decacy.)

Happy Simming!

 Fistaelas:  Selavin is furious with Raerlyn for ruining the marriage contract she arranged for him.  What is he thinking?  It goes against everything they believe in.  There's nothing to be done about it now, however, and she'll have to try to look for someone else, though who will accept him once word gets out?

Myuswyn/Raernesrahd:  The family is doing well and looking forward to the spring thaw.  Lytas heard that her friend Nimrae's marriage contract fell through and she's wondering if she should speak to her about a contract with Lytas' oldest son Shaaias.  There's a bit of an age difference, but for long-lived Elves that's not as much of an issue as it is for other races.

Happy Simming!

 Sylnalyn:  Nimrae invited Raerlyn and Selavin for the next round of courtship rituals, but things didn't go according to plan.  Raerlyn deliberately insulted Nimrae's family, forcing her to end negotiations on their marriage contract.  She doesn't know why he would do such a thing; it's against Elven custom to refuse to abide by the rules of courtship and marriage.  Selavin is upset as well, but knows there's nothing that can be done at this point.  Nimrae cannot accept a marriage contract now.

Happy Simming!

 Blood Fruit Farm:  Shaaias doesn't know what happened to the Ogre boy.  He seems to have disappeared without a trace.  He can only assume he died, since escape is out of the question; the boy was far too weak to scale the wall.  Questioning the Ogres is pointless - they won't talk.  In any event, another baby has been born to take his place, so it's not a huge loss.

Happy Simming!

 Dennis:  Rachel was harassed by an Ogre but managed to escape.  The fish shop is doing okay.  Plus, things have turned romantic for Brian and Cheryl.  They've both been lonely for a long time, so it's no real surprise that they'd turn to one another.

Lane:  Holly is determined to make her pottery shop flourish but, even though she works tirelessly, she's yet to master her craft. She's not getting any younger, so time is of the essence.

Happy Simming!

 Tyler:  James and Joseph have not seen the wolf again, but they have seen some interesting sights in the night sky, as they've both developed an interest in stargazing of late.

Mills/Ryder:  Robert was unable to run the bakery for a while because he was badly beaten by an Ogre.

Ryder:  Both shops are flourishing and the family has managed to escape any major skirmishes with Ogres.

Happy Simming!

Fromrac 12/16/23 (Sanguara, Lunari, Felan)

 First Family:  The Sanguara are getting tired of being cooped up in their nest.  They're looking forward to the spring thaw, when they can get out and perhaps do a little hunting.

Team #1:  Now that Afi has reached teenhood, he is undergoing training to take over the running of the lab and as soon as the elevator is repaired, Steven is to be moved to the confinement area of the lab.

Pack A:  Rose has found a place to settle down that's not too far from her parents.  She wants to be close, but she also wants to keep them safe...from her.  She tried to catch a fish, but all she got was some trash.  She'll have to survive on the little bit of food she brought with her for now.

Happy Simming!

Fromrac 12/13/23 (OutKasts)

 Ergo/Tyler:  Rose has been feeling angry and almost....savage....since she was bitten by the strange wolf.  She decided that the best thing to do would be to run away, so as not to cause any harm to her family.  She left a note explaining everything and went to look for a place to live on her own.  Though Carol Ann and Korg are devastated at the loss of yet another family member, they will soon have a new one, as Carol Ann is pregnant.

Happy Simming!

Fromrac 12/12/23 (Ogres)

 Clan Gore:  An elderly elf (Nimua Relanrah) showed up, trying to steal their genie lamp.  They disposed of her quickly.

Clan Ergo:  Luckily, the creek thawed early and Omaka and Grugg were able to catch a fish; unluckily, a group of Humans showed up and they had to fight their way out of there.  Later that night, Omaka received a message by way of a wolf from her friend Ekto Ergo, who is still a captive of the Elves.  He wanted Omaka to help his son escape from the farm, just as Omaka herself had done.  She was game.  She waited for nightfall, when the Elf would travel to Sanction to deliver blood fruit to the Sanguara.  The ogres were locked up, of course, but little Torpek was small enough that they could squeeze him through the gap at the top of the bars.  Once out, he still had to climb the wall surrounding the compound, but he made it.  Omaka spirited him away in just the nick of time before the Elf returned, none the wiser.

Happy Simming!

 Fistaelas:  Things are going smoothly with the marriage contract between Raerlyn and Nimrae.  Selavin thinks a spring wedding would do nicely.  However, since Nimrae will be bringing her two younger children into the family with her, she and Raerlyn will need a house of their own, as he has three children as well and they just don't have the room here.  Luckily, there's a vacant home nearby.

Myuswyn/Raernesrahd:  The family is still mourning Pyonna, but they did have reason to celebrate because Daelan became a child this round.

Happy Simming!

Fromrac 12/10/23 (Elves)

 Blood Fruit Farm:  Shaaias reached adulthood this round.  Since his mother has not arranged a marriage for him, he will stay on to run the farm for the time being.

Sylnalyn:  Naiesti became an adult.  Meanwhile, Nimrae's friend Selavin Fistaelas contacted her about possibly arranging a marriage for her son-in-law Raerlyn.  Nimrae is not opposed to the match, but they'll have to work out their living arrangements first.

Relanrah:  Nimua is becoming desperate to resurrect her son.  If only she can find a way before her time runs out.

Happy Simming!

 Dennis:  Brian and Shane were able to catch a few fish at the newly thawed pond before being harassed by an Ogre.  She got away unfortunately.  Everyone in the family is keen to resurrect Albert, but they don't have a genie lamp.

Lane:  Things are going well for Holly.  Her shop is running smoothly, the kids are pitching in more with the cooking and cleaning, and the Ogres are staying away for the time being.  She does find herself thinking about Ben from time to time though.  She knows he's out there somewhere, but out of reach for her.

Happy Simming!

Fromrac 12/5/23 (Humans)

 Tyler:  The Tyler boys are continuing to save up for the tavern, while also keeping a lookout for Ogres and strange wolves.

Mills/Ryder:  Robert asked Bonnie to move in since they're expecting a baby together.  She had some news as well.  Her stepfather, Brian, recently returned home after being held in captivity by the Lunari for many years.  He told her that as he was leaving, he saw a young man being led into the compound.  She suspects that man may have been Robert's brother Steven.

Ryder:  Sarah became a teen and baby Michael grew into a toddler.  Cynthia has honed her sewing skills and has begun creating her own designs.  She plans to sell some of her custom clothing in the shop.

Happy Simming!

Fromrac 12/4/23 (Sanguara, Lunari)

 First Family:  Contessa is not happy about the loss of the Mortosa who lived nearby.  She was always happy to do the gardening for them in exchange for a few scraps of food.

Team #1:  Steven is settling into a routine, but he senses that a big change is coming in the near future.  He fears his relative freedom will soon be taken from him.

Happy Simming!

Fromrac 12/3/23 (Ogres, OutKasts)

 Clan Gore:  Swamplouse became and elder and almost froze to death, but Hiroki and Thok managed to get him warmed up in time.

Clan Ergo:  Omaka and Grugg became elder and teen, respectively.  Now if the weather will continue to be mild and their food holds out, they might just get everyone through the winter.

Ergo/Tyler:  Korg wasted no time in bringing Carol Ann and Peggy back.  Carol Ann wanted to celebrate her new lease on life by getting married.  Ogres don't usually do that sort of thing, but Korg agreed in order to make her happy.  Shortly thereafter, Korg became an elder.  Rose couldn't sleep and went outside in the middle of the night, where she encountered a wolf with glowing eyes.  She befriended the odd wolf, but he bit her anyway.  Ever since, she's been feeling quite strange...

Happy Simming!

Fromrac 12/2/23 (Elves)

 Fistaelas:  Raerlyn is convinced they'll be gifted with a genie lamp to bring Sumrahd back once again, but Selavin is not so sure.  As much as she would like to be reunited with her daughter, she thinks it might be time for Raerlyn to think about getting married again.  In the absence of his parents, it's her responsibility to arrange such a match.

Myuswyn/Raernesrahd:  The family lost their matriarch this round.  Pyonna finally succumbed to old age.  She lived a very long, very happy life.  Bessan and Tholas are both keen on resurrecting her, though they don't have the means to do so at the moment.  

Happy Simming!
