Surviving the Glitches of Creatures 1
With a tummy full of honey, Idonea decided that it was about time to head off into the wonderful world of Grendel dreams! She stuck right around the incubator, and got to enjoy the safety of this area as most newborn Norns do. She might have been a bit older, but it was clear that a Grendel could make this her home! Idonea had something of a sprite issue with a mostly detached head… No worries! She was perfectly well and healthy when she awoke! It was just one of those lovely little problems in Creatures 1.
Young Mevik wandered away from the group on the desert island, which was much too crowded for his tastes. He soon decided that it was lonely being the only Norn around: Riding the lift up and down turned out to be boring for him, so he attempted to share his deepest thoughts with the clock. First, Mevik’s thoughts were not all that deep. Second, the clock was not the best companion. I quickly jumped in with a toy and some food to brighten his mood! He soon found out how boring that clock truly was.
I was fortunate enough to move Bolga away from the rest of the group on the island. It only took her a few moments to gobble up a couple of parsnips! She was actually holding one while she posed for her post-meal picture. With her lively spirit, it was difficult to pick out the wrinkles that were etched upon her face. Bolga was certainly getting up there in age, yet she had lived her life in Albia to its fullest. I left her to herself for a little rest. She deserved a little peace after I followed her around for some time, offering her parsnip after parsnip!
Jetvika perched herself near the waterfall, and seemed to listlessly watch the water as it fell. She was aging quite gracefully, yet she had not had the opportunity to experience a pregnancy. Although Kleppstad watched over her carefully, there was still no hope for her: He had lost all traces of testosterone as his stress level increased. In the worst turn of events, Kleppstad had apparently forgotten how to eat. He just stared at food, and sometimes got as far as picking up a carrot, yet he never ingested anything. Raising Norns can be such a frustrating and worrisome task! Perhaps Jetvika would find her last hope in Mevik, who would soon be approaching adulthood. I could only hope for the best!
The starch glitch returned, although it did not appear as active as it previously had been. I have been noticing some strange things, though, such as the fact that Mevik never grew hungry and had his glucose level stuck at the maximum amount. There is no genetic reason for this, so I have the sneaky suspicion that this world has become glitched. My plan is to wait out the deaths of the next few Norns, and then export the remaining five or six into a new world. Idonea will also be moved: Never can forget my Grendels! The second generation will then continue: Just be prepared for a slew of deaths in the next entry from Creatures 1. As much as I hate losing creatures, their deaths are a natural part of Albia, and will help usher in the next Norns.
