Final Keta household part of round 13! The one in which I had Waiata take Nifesi to the beach for impromptu playdating

Water balloon splash fruit games are so great for getting all those cousins met. Waiata is crazy good at sandcastles (she has 8 mechanical points) setting a great example for her niece Nui.

So, highly successful little outing. Nifesi even manages to meet a person she's not related to. Here she is with Ulli Vuosttamus, getting very excited talking about balls.

Back home, the weather turns for the wetter

And thunderier.

All the adults and dogs make sure to run very close to the fire and flail around, because sims -_-

Fortunately the children were all napping indoors at the time

And, of course, it's still raining heavily, so here's the same scene less than a minute later

Ok then.

That evening, Yiyara outgrows toddler mode

Huzzah! And that's where we leave these guys.

Sorry I didn't get any pictures of baby Tunu for this part! I forget that the babies exist sometimes lol

Chief One projects indigenous African sounds in "Here I Come" EP

New Post has been published on https://plugzafrica.com/chief-one-projects-indigenous-african-sounds-in-here-i-come-ep/

Chief One projects indigenous African sounds in "Here I Come" EP

The fast-rising new Ghanaian artiste receiving all the mileage has outlived himself among his counterparts. In recent times, dropping an entire body of work as a buzzing act is a major deal – an underscoring feat that defines how promising new talent is in pushing their craft beyond their jurisdiction.

Ghana’s new sensation burst onto the scene in January 2022 through the power of social media with dozens of endorsements from Grammys-winning/nominated Musicians to other heavyweights in showbiz like Gramps Morgan, Rocky Dawuni, Samini, Bullgod, Andy Dosty, Reggy Zippy, Benedicta Gafah, GH Kwaku, Elorm Beenie, Giovani Caleb, Kwame Dadzie, just to name a few.

About his “Here I Come” EP:

It’s a 6-tracked EP, all produced by Hairlergbe.

It’s a fine blend of Brekete, Afrobeats, Afro Fusion and Hiplife.

Song titles are “Young Boy”, “O2 Arena” (Me Lor), “Du Agbe”, “Mekamo”, “Nyemedzio” and “Novayi” (with DD Don).

Songs on the EP was released available on Monday, February 21, 2022 on Major Digital Platforms like Apple Music, Spotify, Boomplay, Audiomack, YouTube, TIDAL, and others.

Editor’s Notes – About Chief One:

Chief One – real name, Ivan Michael Nyagamagu – is a Ghanaian Afrobeats Artiste who has evolved with his strong and powerful songwriting skills. Out of the rocks sprouts a budding new music sensation who would hit mainstream recognition in January 2022. His stage name, “Chief One”, is fast becoming a household name on the lips of many from social media, on the airwaves and on the streets.

Poised for success, Chief One began fanning his professional career in music in early 2015 when he fully decided it was time to take his craft to the world after discovering his ideals in creating music. 6 years down memory lane, he boasts of a mixtape and a few singles that propelled him to be recognized in his home region (Volta Region), as one of the big home acts with a promising career that’d be recognized nationally and globally.

A ‘never-ashamed’ Chief One who pays homage to his strong heritage holds a deep vocal signature that accentuates his roots from Southern Volta (Ziope and Keta); this indigenous vocal signature adds to the originality of his recordings which openly identifies him as an artiste from Volta Region. Not to spew tribal bigotry, Chief One prefers to be recognized as a ‘Ghanaian Artiste’ or an ‘African Artiste’ working his way to the top, thus, reach global prominence.

youtube

Chief One, who now co-produces his (recent) songs and always puts a heavy fusion of Brekete in his productions – a folklore genre emanating from Volta Region – which many have aligned with the recent South African craze, Amapiano. Chief One who also acknowledges the touch of Amapiano however maintains and defends his roots genre Brekete, as well as Kinka (which he wants to project on a national level, through Africa and the world beyond). Brekete and Kinka are known traditional genres within the Southern Volta Sects, among the Anlo Community. These musical signatures are very visible in his latest works “Nyemedzio”, “Mekamo” and “Novayi”.

Chief One refuses to be boxed in any single genre. In his own words, “I love to surprise my fans. I don’t want to be predictable. When my inspiration comes and the lyrics come to me, that decides which genre I should fall on”. Chief One who self-manages himself currently (at his level) has been able to shoot some music videos to push his visibility; below are 3 of his music videos that are doing well:

“Mekamo” — https://youtu.be/Ev2wKXNQEuk

“Nyemedzio” — https://youtu.be/Wd_zQjEwXPg

“Novayi” — https://youtu.be/V6Ryyob0i58

He has played many big shows across Volta Region; one of those notable big stages was Zylofon Activation Concert played in Aflao in 2018. Chief One’s small Team he has built is called “Lawada Republiq”.

Peoples of Aeniith: The Ríli

The concept of the Ríli people I came up with about 14 years ago (almost half my life agoo--it feels a lot more recent than that, but that's how time works, it seems) while on an extended camping trip with my family in the temperate rainforests of southeastern Alaska. I was in the forest living out of a wall tent with a small woodstove, sleeping on army cots, an hour-long boat ride from the nearest (small) town. Besides working (chopping wood, building structures, or cooking), my options for passtimes were practicing archery and writing and reading. So I spent a lot of time in Aeniith, thinking about what might exist beyond Keta--beyond the Gotevians, Lomi, and the Ei Lands. I wanted to expand and explore Aeniith. I started thinking past what my childhood and immediate adolescence had produced. I was also learning more and more about linguistics and language typology, and the Rílin language was in part a result of this. I hope you enjoy a small introduction to--and some meandering thoughts about--the Ríli.

The Ríli are a humanoid species of Aeniith. They are endemic to the continent of Izoi in Elta (the "eastern" hemisphere of Aeniith), mostly inhabited the central-northern parts of the continent. They are small compared to other humanoids, standing around 4'9"-5'5" (144.5-165cm) on average, with males being a bit taller than females. Their skin is dark to light grey, ranging in tone from bluish to reddish. Females tend to have darker skin than males, and younger Ríli have darker skin than older. For this reason, darker grey skin is considered a sign of youth and therefore of beauty (in most subcultures). Skin color of most Ríli range from ashy white to dark grey, almost black. Ríli evolved in dark forests, and it is for this reason that their children (and younger members) are darker than the older. All Ríli have a stripe of paler skin down their spine and the sides of their neck, known as the pfókala (literally, 'white stripe'). The pfókala on the sides of the neck marks a very physically sensitive part of the body, both with regard to pain and pleasure.

Silin, a Rílin scout. Art by Tara Williams (unit-3992.tumblr.com).

Hair color can be yellowish gold, light orange, brown, pale grey, or black. What we would consider "blond" hair (strictly speaking) is rather rare, as is dark red hair. Dark red hair, however, is considered beautiful, though only about .05% of the population shows this color naturally. Hair consistency is usually thick but individual hairs tend to be fine, though they grow in massive amounts. Many Ríli must cut their hair frequently, as it grows fast. Facial and body hair is sparse in both sexes, however, though females have more pubic hair than males. Males have very little chance of obtaining any facial hair until after the age of about 35. Hair and nails grow very fast compared to other species. This results in hairstyles being quite long. But toenails and fingernails have to be cut frequently so that the Ríla is not harmed by their own toes and fingers. Nails of the fingers and toes have a dark tint to them. Dying the nails orange or red is popular for cosmetics reasons.

The eyes are larger and farther apart than a human's. Eyebrows often extend over into the hair, being of a soft and full type of hair. Eye color can be blue, violet, grey, black, or brown. Golden-yellow and green eyes are also possible, but only about 1 in 300,000 Rili have this. Eyesight is very keen. The rods of the Rílin eye are very sensitive, giving them excellent vision in darker conditions. Ríli can consciously control the dilation of their eyes.

Ríli have a physical “sixth sense” which allows them to sense the neuroelectrical pulses of a living brain. They can sense the presence and relative distance of any type of organism with a central nervous system, and can also distinguish between higher life forms (such as another Ríla or other hominid) and lower life forms (a squirrel or deer). There have been extremely rare cases of Ríli having "telepathic" abilities, or the ability to sense the thoughts of another hominid. These individuals are very few and far between.

The onset of puberty usually begins around 18 years of age for females and 21 years for males. Gestation lasts for ten months. The hormonal (menstrual) cycles of the Rilin female last typically 15 days. The menstrual period itself thus lasts on average around 3 days.

Silin, Rílin scout. Art by Tara Williams (http://unit-3992.tumblr.com/).

Rili are very physically flexible and agile, due to high levels of collagen in their bodies. About 65% of all Ríli have a slight split in the tip of the tongue.

The sides of the Rílin neck (called the meslí) along a portion of the pfókala are very sensitive

Fingers and toes are often long and tapered with square tips and small nail bases

The stomach has three parts, in order to better digest cellulose in plants

Wiggling and moving the ears is easy

Ríli typically need 9 hours of sleep each night

Rílin metabolism is on average higher than that of humans. For this reason, obesity is relatively rare. Emaciation and unhealthier levels of thinness are more common

Facial features tend to be very fine and sometimes sharp

The pads of the feet (and to a lesser extent the hands) are covered in a thicker gripping skin called samanken. These developed because of the Rili evolution in forested areas; they were originally a tree-dwelling species

The ears taper backwards slightly in a mild point, and often have tufts of hair on the upper ridge

Traditional Rilin culture is based around the principles of harmony, equality, and pacifism. Violence is a very taboo subject, as is conflict, to a lesser extent. The value of equality has led the Rili to have a very egalitarian society and a democratic government. The populace (of the Sunuli) is governed by an elected council of sixty officials that are replaced every five years.

The Flight

The most significant event in recent Rílin history is the military invasion by the Tosi, a warlike people of the Zuna species to the south. The invasion completely reshaped Rílin society, culture and philosophy. Prior to the invasion, the Ríli had no military and their religion and cultural values did not permit them to engage in defensive combat. Some decided to flee northward and hide in the deep, impenetrable forests there. Many of this group also took refuge in underground caverns beneath a mountain nearby; soon constructing subterranean settlements and eventually cities there.

This period of escape is known as The Flight. The Ríli that took refuge came to be known as the Lunauli, or “people of the darkness”. Their religion remained largely intact, but their societal values changed: strict hierarchies began to replace the original egalitarian system. However, many of the Ríli refused to abandon their homeland. They stayed, developed an army and determined to fight the Tosi. The Tosi had a definite military advantage in this situation being brilliant strategists, having massive armies of formidable and highly-trained warriors, and having made many conquests throughout their history of neighboring peoples across Elta. The Ríli, however, had a few natural advantages of their own; their neurology gave them a “sixth sense,” the ability to detect the neuro-electrical pulses of living brains at a distance of up to a kilometer. They also had extensive knowledge of their own territory, which consists largely of deep forests that the Tosi, being largely desert-dwelling people, found difficult to deal with, militarily.

Domestic Lives and Common Personal Values of the Ríli

Work ethic is held in high regard, however, it is generally believed that personal happiness is paramount. The arts and sciences are greatly valued and often taken up as pursuits by amateurs in early and later adulthood. This may be related to the Rílin idea that one’s mind is kept healthiest when it is positively occupied.

The Rílin family unit typically consists of two parents and one or two children. Often the parents have extensive hobbies or personal activities that they pursue apart from their daily occupation, and thus many do not have children immediately upon marriage. Ríli are matrilocal, which means that the male goes to live in the household of the female for some time before the couple have their own household. The family name of a child is usually that of the male, however, this is not always the case. Babies are breastfed until around age four.

Ríli eat four meals per day. The first meal is taken in the morning and often consists of a sauce made from red berries with shredded nuts and seeds, called perut. The second meal is taken around noon. The third meal is taken around 4pm. And the fourth meal is around 9pm. Seaside-dwelling Ríli love to eat steamed sea cucumber with pickled vegetables in a dish they call íshne.

The structure and size of houses depends on whether the family is seaside- or forest-dwelling. Space is more plentiful in the big forests and seaside locations with immediate ocean access are limited, so houses tend to be smaller and more compact, also because it is colder near the northern sea.

Pets are not particularly common, but sometimes small mammals might be kept; typically mice, chipmunks, squirrels, rabbits. Trained birds, such as kestrels and falcons, are also used for hunting.

Perfume is worn by many individuals of varying demographics, but is most commonly worn by women in their mid- to late adulthood.

Cosmetics, however, are generally only worn by young men seeking to attract a mate. Most other people would only wear cosmetics during festivals or parties. Jewelry is common, and worn by everyone. Earrings are the most popular type of jewelry. Often individuals who wear no other jewelry will at the very least wear one earring. Piercing are also not uncommon, especially brow piercing (women sometimes wear a series of small piercings in a line above the eyebrow). Gemstones are mined for use in jewelry as well as currency. Any gemstone or piece of precious metal can be used as currency; these particular pieces are called íka. Garnets, sapphires, turquoise, diamonds, agate, and two Aeniith-specific stones called turí (a translucent brownish-red and very hard gem) and nashím (a soft blue gem) are also popular.

Women sometimes tattoo their feet with curvilinear designs or organic symbols relating to their identity, family, profession, or hobby.

Modern Rili are a fairly rational and not overly superstitious people, but that hasn't completely erased some old superstitions and false assumptions that have existed among the masses throughout their history. Here a few of them:

It was a common superstition that drinking the amniotic fluids of a woman who has recently given birth will increase longevity and health.

It was believed that having two butterflies of the same species land on you was good luck.

It was a superstition that disobeying one's grandmother's financial advice would bring back luck.

Rotten onions were thought to invite bad luck.

It was thought that to get the blood of someone else on one's skin linked one to this person in some way.

It was believed that letting one's baby cry for too long could cause it health problems later in life.

Coffee was believed to cause insanity.

Seeing a turtle was thought to be good luck.

Having a bird land on one's shoulder could either signify god or bad luck: good luck if facing forward, bad luck if it was facing backward.

The former homeless man bringing web access to the Bronx

Image copyright Neture

Image caption Marlin Jenkins is trying to bring broadband internet to poorer households

The digital divide – the economic gap between those with internet access and those without – is a growing problem throughout the world, and not just in developing economies. Many people are trying the bridge this gap, and here are some of their stories.

As a teenager, Marlin Jenkins was homeless for a couple of years.

Now, aged 45, he is trying to help the 40% of households in New York’s Bronx district without internet get online.

“When education, banking and healthcare are online, and huge groups can’t leverage these tools, the people who struggle most are struggling harder,” he says.

Mr Jenkins and his two brothers, one of whom has cerebral palsy, were raised by a single mother. When the family’s housing in Yonkers, New York fell through, his mother moved them 50 miles upstate in search of somewhere to live – a search which proved unsuccessful and resulted in a period of homelessness.

He still managed to gain his high school diploma though, and after university worked for telecoms giants Verizon and AT&T, then founded a gaming start-up.

He says his first response to having been homeless was that “I needed to make as much money as possible out of college” to provide for his family, but says the 9/11 terror attacks later changed his perspective, deciding instead to “cut my profit to give more back”.

Image caption Many students in the Bronx district of New York have no internet at home

Eight years ago, he passed a five-year-old girl outside a Bronx library on his way home.

“She was crying to her mother about not being able to finish her homework because she didn’t have internet access at home, and the library was closed,” he says.

“I’ll never forget the mother’s face, she was distraught and it was heartbreaking.”

The experience inspired him to found Neture in 2015, a start-up offering low-income Bronx residents free access to online education, healthcare and finance resources. Residents can also buy 25 megabit per second (Mbps) broadband for wider web surfing if they want to.

Neture is making its first large-scale deployment this month in a 12-storey apartment block.

“People say, why don’t you create a food platform, or something else tech-driven. But if you can’t connect to the internet, it doesn’t matter what else you can do,” says Mr Jenkins.

Today, just over half – 51.2% – of the world’s population is online, says the Geneva-based International Telecommunication Union.

This means billions of people are missing out on the clear economic benefits internet access can bring.

Some studies have suggested that every 10% increase in broadband penetration increases a country’s economic output by 1%, and other country-specific studies in Africa have established a clear link between poverty alleviation and access to mobile internet.

“High-speed internet has a positive impact on poverty reduction,” says Olivier Vanden Eynde, founder of Close the Gap, an organisation working to bridge the digital divide in a sustainable way. “There are very interesting and well-respected studies.

“Better access to information increases farmers’ effectiveness in agriculture,” he says. “And fintech [financial technology] can make transactions more effective and less corrupt.”

In developed countries, 85.3% of households have web access at home. In the 47 poorest countries, the figure is 17.8%.

But the digital divide affects underprivileged people in rich countries too.

In Mississippi, for example, one of the most impoverished US states, 38.1% of households aren’t online, says the US Census Bureau.

Compare this to New Hampshire, one of the wealthiest states, where the figure is 15.1%.

In the US as a whole, five million households with school-age children don’t have internet access.

Image caption Mississippi is one of the poorest states in the US

Lack of competition in US regional markets drives the average monthly cost of broadband in the US to $66.17 (£51.55), says the price comparison website cable.co.uk. This is 50% higher than the monthly average in Germany, for example.

And with faster – probably more expensive – 5G mobile internet coming in the next year or so, this could add “another new digital divide, with people building new technologies and applications that people who can’t afford 5G can’t access”, says Xiaoqun Zhang, a professor at the University of North Texas.

Connected World: Video, stories and features about 5G

One region that does well is the former Soviet Union, where infrastructure is well developed and markets are healthily competitive.

Ukraine has the world’s cheapest broadband, at an average monthly cost of $5. Russia ($9.77), Belarus ($10.46) and Moldova ($11.28) are all in the next five cheapest, too.

But in African countries such as Sierra Leone, Mali, Namibia and Ethiopia, the average monthly cost of broadband is more than $125.

Image copyright Seth Nyamador

Image caption Enoch Seth Nyamador says people in poorer rural areas suffer more from lack of internet access

In large African cities like Accra, Ghana, “broadband internet access is not an issue”, says Enock Seth Nyamador, a 2018 computer science graduate and founder of the OpenStreetMap Ghana community.

But in Keta, the fishing community in Ghana’s southeast where Mr Nyamodor grew up, a third of the 23,000 population lives under the poverty line of $1.90 a day.

“When you go to the remote areas, that’s where you have issues – network operators don’t reach most of the communities,” he says.

And using smartphones to access the internet there is “pretty expensive – the cheapest I could buy would be 70 cents (3.4 Ghanaian cedi, or 54p) for 500 megabytes of data”.

That’s more than a third of what many people in Keta live on every day.

And so in Ghana, just 6% of men and 2.1% of women say they use the internet, according to the country’s statistical service.

More Technology of Business

This comes despite 46.2% of Keta’s men and 38.4% of its women saying they have a mobile telephone. Only 2.9% of Keta households own computers.

Another problem, says Mr Nyamador, is the Google Map car doesn’t go to places like Keta.

“When you look on Google Maps, it is a product targeted towards cities, where money comes from. But what about villages where there is a need for development and map data?” he says.

Another problem is accessing the internet in a language you understand.

India has 22 official languages and hundreds of others spoken, but just 10% of its population can speak English.

Many smartphone buyers “don’t know how to type, because they have never used a digital device for typing”, says Rakesh Deshmukh, chief executive of Mumbai-based Indus OS.

So Mr Deshmukh has been developing keyboards and app stores for each of India’s official languages, along with a “swipe to translate” feature that can translate English messages into a user’s mother tongue.

The global digital divide is reinforcing inequalities of wealth between and within countries.

But people like Marlin Jenkins, Enock Nyamado and Rakesh Deshmukh are doing their best to build bridges across it.

Officials say Congo landslide death toll likely to reach 200

Officials in the DR of Congo say the death toll from a rain-triggered massive landslide in the eastern parts of the African country could likely reach over 200. Pacifique Keta, the vice governor of Ituri province, announced the news on Friday, adding that the estimate was based on the number of households submerged. “There are many people submerged whom we were unable to save.

Morning at the Keta household

So many cousins, so little time. Para's a regular here of course, but today Nifesi also got to meet Teina Tuarua and Ori Keji.

Para also got to hold little Tunu.

All is normal until everyone freaks me out by getting this memory

Yeah, while I was looking absolutely everywhere else, poor old doggie Tucker made his exit. His son Mucker howls in devastatedness

idk which cat that is lol

Otia's efforts to comfort her bf Mucker don't go down well, so she tries befriending this murderous wolf instead...

And that's where we end it for today. One more part to come from this household before we move on to Leheniks

Keta household, round 13 part 3. Yiyara gets to hang out with her cool uncle Oorun, and the doggies make a welcome appearance. The young handsome strappy fellow is Mucker, and the graying stick-chewer there is his dad, Tucker. Because I save my naming creativity for my human sims :]

Nifesi finds this a mighty fine morning

She makes a friend in her double first cousin Oye Keji

Meanwhile, Yiyara's learned almost every major milestone skill in the last couple days, but she's still a bit skeptical when it comes to singing nursery rhymes

Well it'll have to wait a little longer

poor Waiata... Not sure facepalming at a birthing woman helps at all, Oorun :P

The baby is born and it's a boy! He's called Tunu :3

what a lovely lil moment to end on, no? so let's do that why not

Yeah, not a day goes by without relatives visiting :)

boomp #2!

I'll cut it there for today :P

sorry these posts are getting short! Once more uni work is eating my time, life and self and, full disclosure, I cue these and then don't play for ages so, it there's a temporal gap between posts that's why

short part 3 with the Ketas, featuring shenanigans. Yeah it looks weird because height disparity, but Imole just threw her entire self into Harikoa's arms... yeah they're both in open marriages but surely that's a little forward

Yeah idk what problem Otia's having with Moemoea either

next morning

Otia had puppies! They're very similar looking but Ocker's the one with the lighter grey snout

Harikoa agrees to take the puppies' grandma Mips off our hands, and even pays for the privilege

5 dogs is more than plenty for me. I'll probably get neighbors to take the puppies next round

Nifesi meets another uncle. She has a lot of them, even with 2 of them gone prematurely :P

Her parents, meanwhile, are... busy...

I do like the doggies make no mistake.

And the last 2 pics from the last morning of the round.

Keta household now, featuring house, which I made subtle changes to since last time, yay

Also since last time, there's an addition to the family in the form of this very sweet but not all there pup called Otia.

There's 4 entire tiny dogs here now, two of whom apparently hate each other? This is a full on brawl between mother and son, Mips and Mucker respectively.

Waiata is into it, but the rest of us are a lil worried

Mommy Mips shows the lil mucker what's what

The bad weather got the better of Didan and he didn't make it to the little boy's room in time :( sorry dude!

Obviously he needed a bath after that, and he broke the tub. Waiata, also wanting a bath, has the skills to fix it, if he'll ever stop crying for a second to move out the bloody way

The next morning we welcome EVEN MORE doggies! Yay! One of em really just hit the ground running there

Only now it occurs to me that I could've named Tips 'Tick' and it'd make these names more... symmetrical? i don't even know what i mean by that but

Hey didn't these people use to have a baby

Nifesi's around, being a baby and not very much work at all. The difficulty spike between baby and toddler in the game is ridiculous I gotta say

Also there's even more baby yet to come

As much as I love little doggies, I don't love having 6 at once... so the puppies were given new homes. Tipper went over to live with the Tuawhas, Tips with the Nubbes

Nifesi's been unreasonably chill so far, but the time soon comes to spike that difficulty

She's cute at least. Soon as you get that terrible suit off her :P

part 2 coming soon

Keta household part 3. Waiata is settling in.

Frequent visitor Elewá keeps up with active dog Mips, in spite of the very pregnant belly

Speaking of

Waiata's pregnant belly turned into a healthy baby! Welcome to the world Nifesi :3

Later, the new parents are visited by various well-wishing relations

They may have just come for the soup, but it's nice anyway

The next day the puppy grows up, setting a fine example for the young human that just joined the existence

And that's where we live the Keta household for this round :)

Keta household, round 13, here we goooo

Like all the kids of Tuatahi/Akoko decent, Waiata has like, all the cousins, and she's gradually meeting them

...and some of her cousins are meeting each other

That sounds bad. Moemoea and Aitor here aren't cousins ok they're just both related to Nifesi on different sides you see

Having visitors also helps me sell off the puppies Ocker and Mutia, reducing the number of dogs living on this lot from 5 to 3

And so Ocker goes off to live with the Akoko family

And Mutia to the Qallariqs

Also, slightly earlier that same evening lol

It's time for Nifesi to grow!

And ain't she just fabulous :)

and I was so caught up in that the lil notification there caught me completely by surprise :P Yiyara grew too!

Here are the sisters' traits, because I forgot to enable notifications on the randomizer, + Yara's personality

boomp! Looks like there's more Ketae on the way

moar soon

Over to the Keta household now, where Didan adops a new tiny doggie. This is Mips. Or as the game named her, "Mips ". I'm gonna have to change that aren't I -_-

Anyway, Mips and preexisting dog Tucker get along just swell. We love to see it.

Unfortunately there is trouble afoot in the wind ...

The vandal strikes again!

Just when I thought she was done criming for the night

Not one of the five fancy schmancy chairs!

Begone, villain!

The loss of the fifth schmancy chair is almost as greatly felt as that of the pottery wheel that was never used even once I believe

The next day, two of Did's siblings visit, along with their cat and this beaut of a stray dog.

I wanted that beaut of a stray dog, but we did not succeed in adopting him.

But we are not too dog-deprived, for Tucker and Mips have a surprise for their human

Mucker is maybe not a kind name, but the puppy doesn't seem to mind it at all. And Did loves him a whole lot.

part 2 coming soon!

Last couple pics of these two before she grows out of his dating pool :/

Speaking of:

Tanna is grown!

I may have thrown her into the dating game immediately. I can't help it, all these guys have bored me half to death for several rounds by just having no one to be shipped with, and Indartsu's been rolling the want to have a baby reliably since he aged up ages ago

On her excursion she saw her sister's gf totally cheating on her with that Tuatahi boy

Luma, how could you >:(

and she just acts likes everything's cool and hunky dory when Tanna goes to confront her about it. Ugh, kids these days...

Later she chickens out of telling Elewá what she saw and talks about Marama getting owned by his own clumsy cooking instead. It is a better story to be fair
