Week 15 Day 3: CA66 DNA

Yesterday Godrian and Richelle married, and Richelle moved in at Greench Farm. She descends from the intellectual Yea-Low family residing the eastern region, and also from the original Redwards. The happy couple hardly slept all night, and was still in a playfully good mood this morning :-)

This morning Archie Greench had called all his 5 adult kids for a meeting at the farm, and they gathered in the not yet completed kitchen. Yesterday he met with Dr. Frederic Mahagoney about the CA66 DNA, that seems to be passed on to all descendants of the original settlers, Bianca and Bolan Blumington. Archie had hesitated to share the bad news at the wedding party.

Archie told them what Dr. Mahagoney had said, but he had to admit that he didn't quite understand why the DNA should stop them from visiting Galucca. Archie himself can go, and Richelle shouldn't be infected either.

Godrian happened to be Hot-headed, but in this situation his reaction wouldn't need excuses.

It was too much for poor Eileen, she is the youngest, and recently reached young adult.

Eileen was hired to help with the new salon, and had an appointment today with caretaker, Linda Tulitto. Next door another store had opened, a store selling just about everything from the other world, anything from baby cribs to toilets and wall clocks! Eileen had no time to inspect is thoroughly, but she noticed it was crowded by curious locals.

It was Eileen's very first day working at the salon, but Linda had assured her that it wouldn't be very hard.

Old Corinne Redward didn't want help from a blue skinned, and walked outside to play her guitar instead. Eileen's friend and cousin, Carla Black, was also in the clothing store. She is young adult, too, but they still behave as teens at times.

Carla had always dreamed of moving to the other world, Galucca or even farther, to become a famous actress. Now it seemed like her DNA would stop her.

They had fun in the salon, and Eileen learned a lot from doing her first makeover...

Up north, at 3 Blumington Road, Archie and his neighbour Albert had arrived Alfonso Blumington's little house. Alfonso, the only single man of Archie's generation, made a poor living from fishing. He spent way too much time on his own, and Archie suspected that not everything was good up here.

They knocked on Alfonso's door, but there was no reply.

Finally a method that worked! Alfonso and Albert are brothers, both with the CA66 DNA.

They walked inside, and Alfonso rushed to the doorway that leads to the bedrooms.

It almost looked like Alfonso had spent his last savings to impress someone with new clothes from the new store. Was it a final desperate attempt to attract a woman, while he was still alive?

Some time ago 3 builders came to the island to build the science facilities, and also to upgrade some community builds. Recently two of them escaped, and while one of them was caught - at Greench Farm, the other guy was still missing.

Everyone thought the builders were all men, but they obviously were not...

No, Archie isn't descending from green aliens, but from the Plant people!

Back at the farm, Richelle and Godrian tested the new chess table they bought at the new store. Richelle grew up with this game, but Godrian had not learned all the moves yet.

A little later Archie returned back home, and he found Eileen in the hall.

It was late, already, but in the kitchen Richelle was cooking. She had food cravings, and she knew to herself that a little baby was on its way. She knew there might be a risk that Godrian's little bit of CA66 DNA would be passed on, but could that really be so bad?

More next Wednesday!

Week 15 Day 2: Bad news

Sorry for the one day delay. Wednesdays are still supposed to be Greench Farm update days :-)

Today will be another packed day for the Greench Farm household! Godrian and Richelle (Yea-Low) got engaged yestersimday, and today they will get married. The new clothing store opens, and elderly Archie has a meeting with Dr. Frederic Mahagoney.

And still I did not mention that the news picture that normally opens a new post was canceled. If you miss it let me know. Community news might be posted as small, separate posts instead.

Well, Archie's meeting was quite early. The doctor wanted to talk about Eileen's health, Archie hoped it wasn't too serious. He walked down to the hospital, and was a bit surprised by meeting his neighbour and brother-in-law (still not married, though), Albert Blumington.

Archie wanted to join Albert when paying a surprise visit to Albert's brother, Alfonso Blumington. They will do so tomorrow. But Albert was too depressed to talk much now...

What could that be all about? Albert refused to talk about it. Archie walked inside, and found Dr. Mahagoney at the desk.

Dr. Mahagoney explained that all blue alien descendants were likely carriers of the CA66. They had become aware of the possibility after the first visit to the island, seeing that some locals had the blue skin tone.

Islanders with a parent that most likely carried the CA66, will be denied a health certificate. Meaning that the original Blumington couple's descendants will most likely not get access to town of Galucca.

The locals probably being infected are:
All Archie's kids: Bertil Greench, Graica G. Yea-Low, Godrian Greench, Boletta G. Wimster, and Eileen Greench. Albert Blumington, and his kids Blanca, Gabriella and Gerda. Bonita Black and Carla Black.
Alfonso Blumington.

While Archie was in the meeting, the brand new clothing store opened! The building is nothing spectacular, but sticks out as modern in this village setting, next to the Peel Bakery.

Eileen Greench, Gerda Peel, Gabriella Peel, Carla Black and Blanca Peel were over excited about it all!

All those patterns will certainly make a new era...

The blond wearing a long dress is Linda O. Tulitto, recently married to the youngest scientist, Pahomas Tulitto. Linda is the one who initiated this store, and coming from Galucca she obviously have some contacts.

A little later Linda joined them.

Eileen has an interest in fashion and style, at least she thinks it could be worth spending some time on.

A little later the girls split. Carla met her sister Bonita, to attend a meeting with Dr. Mahagoney. Gerda and Gabriella stopped by at the family's bakery.

And Eileen and Blanca walked over to the Hawk house...

Girls left. That message was clear enough, and nobody ever wants to put up a quarrel with Agnes Y. Hawk!

At Greench Farm lots of locals had gathered for the wedding. Godrian could hardly believe that the lovely Richelle wanted to marry him. They are the second couple to get married right here, the first was Godrian's parents, Bridgette and Archie, exactly one generation ago.

The expression Other World refers to any place outside Maccaroni Island.

Archie had not told Godrian the bad news yet. In fact he had not told anyone. The timing was tricky, it would totally ruin the good event...

A quick end to this chapter simply because it got too dark, too early. Bertil was right, they would have done with a few garden lamps.

A few notes before closing - most houses have a private wind mill to produce their own energy. When the street lamps were built recently, cables were buried underground, leading energy to all families. Some will keep their wind mills, because the energy delivered is rather expensive.

Just like the new clothes, very expensive. And probably the all-kinds-of-stuff store that will open tomorrow.

More next Wednesday!
