Week 15 Day 5: The harbour

There are still no kids at Greench Farm, but Richelle has been pregnent for a while, and unfortunately her situation makes her hang out near the kitchen, again making the others expect her to do the cooking for all.

Godrian's younger sister, eillen, has not moved out, and old Archie is still around, turning 95!

All four got seated in the kitchen. Even if the new shop sells modern kitchen appliances, they have not yet bought anything new. The kitchen is still not having paint on all walls. Godrian and Richelle need to wait until they have paid out Eileen.

Amadeus is the oldest son of the crazy woman, Agnes Hawk.

With the CA66-DNA, the Greenches are not allowed to leave the island, making them less attractive to those without the certain DNA.

Eileen works a few hours daily at the new salon. It's just a back room at the clothing shop, so practically she also serves the shop. The shop was initiated by Eileens friend, Linda O. Tulitto.

Linda lives with her little family in the house next to old Joe's shed. So,before visiting Amadeus, Eileen stopped by to talk with Linda, and check on her baby boy. Linda told that she had arranged for a new service at school, pupils can now have their picture taken by Linda, just to keep a memory on the wall. What a great idea!

Then, Eileen walked over to Amadeus' shed - well, small house.

There is a total of 3 small lots like this, all lined up behind the Fort Base. This trail has been called Military Walk, and these lots ae the only lots on Maccaroni Island that are identified by letters A, B and C, instead of address numbers.

Amadeus sure got a unique look, and he is a nice guy, really. His traits are Neurotic, Artistic, Unlucky, Never nude and Commitment issues. Well, maybe not a perfect hubby, but still not the crazy guy that Eileen was warned about.

Back on Greench Farm Godrian is quite disillusioned. Previously they could harvest buckets of great quality food daily, but now...

Godrian and Richelle left for the picnic with Richelle's parents. Archie decided to stay home. He checked the barn, and looked around. All the time nagging the thought that there was some tiny detail he had overseen. Something aout the weird story about green aliens in Galucca being the reason why the CA66 DNA was not allowed to visit. Archie distrusted the story...

But suddenly, Archie recalled! The weird, rude woman at Alfonso Blumington's house! The run away builder that turned out to be female! She had accused Archie for being a green alien, and even more important, she had tried to keep Archie away from the blue Alfonso! If this woman had escaped from Admiral Freeman, why would she tell their lies? Of course she wouldn't!

 The rude woman was a living proof that the green vs blue alien conflict was not a lie, but reality!

In Sunrise Valley, actually not far from Alfonso Blumington's house across the Blumington Bridge, Godrian and Richelle had already met Richelle's old parents, Dorothy and Alex Yea-Low. Also Richelle's sister Irena was there, she is still a teen.

Dorothy is a local doctor, but now retired. Richelle's brother, Yesador Y. Wimster, is the new lead doctor.

Instead of giving someone benefits of owning the land where a harbour was built, the council had agreed to claim new land for this purpose. Town of Galucca had bought the land, bringing more real Simoleons to Maccaroni Bank.

Ah, look who's here! Old Corinne Y. Redward! She is sister of Alex Yea-Low, and her husband Randal Redward is Dorothy's brother.

Richelle grew up in this area, before moving out she lived in that house right there, behind her. She often played in the water here on the very small beach. She already knew that one day she will bring her own kids down here, to spend a full day relaxing and playing.

Godrian left the valley, crossed the bridge and walked up to the northern region. Passing uncle Alfonso's little blue house, for a second Godrian thought he heard a baby crying, but it must have been the seagulls.

They ran down the hill. It's actually a weird place to build the island's only harbour, because it's pretty far off the roads, and the land is not exactly flat around here.

So, the tall fence was there to fence them all in?

More next week!

Week 15 Day 4: The green and blue truth

This morning Godrian and Richelle sat down in the kitchen to have an economical overview. This is obviously bothering Richelle more, but Godrian knows it will be tough when his younger sister, Eileen, decides to move out.

But, Eileen wastes her days at the salon, not really bringing in any money either, so they won't really benefit from delaying it much.

A new generation is about to get born! Looks like its hair colour might be red'ish, but what else?

Today is the important meeting where everyone carrying the CA66 DNA must attend. In addition, the Council is invited, as well as Archie Greench (maybe because he is sort of affected, with 5 kids all having the CA66).  Godrian found time for a little harvesting before heading to the meeting, but more plants are dieing, and it's a problem that Richelle can't help much now that she is pregnant, and old Archie can no longer help.

The farm cat Mushi (left) has got himself a new friend! A cat they never saw before, it must have followed some of the Galuccians when arriving the island.

Then Godrian, Eileen and Archie left the farm, heading for the meeting that took place in the old school building.

And, Admiral Steve Freeman started the meeting...

What?

It was indeed well deserved, but Archie felt a bit shy and silly, and most of all he suspected this to just be some attempt of building goodwill among the islanders.

Freeman went on...

Ha ha, Gerda Peel, yes - the Maccaroni islanders all descend from the red, yellow, green and blue - but purple?

A green Galuccian could either be green from the pollution, or could be carrying green alien DNA, not good to say...

Admiral Steve Freeman then gave the word to Dr. Frederic Mahogoney, who told them more about the genetic risk. He referred to a solid alien DNA report, "Green & Blue" by scientist Lucas Stew-Fraisser of SimCity. Numerous reports had supported Stew-Fraisser's finds, and the facts were no longer just assumptions.

So, basically he said that none of the current descendants of settlers Bianca and Bolan Blumington would be admitted access to Galucca. 3rd generation without the blue skin, would probably be seen as safe, although the CA66 DNA can still be carried even if the skin is no longer dominant.

Everyone were of course upset! They had already got used to the thought of being prisoned here at Maccaroni Island, but the truth was kind f creepy. Archie had a feeling there was a tiny piece of information that somehow could tell him whether this was true facts, or lies. He just couldn't recall that detail, and he definitely couldn't trust Steve Freeman, even if he tried!

Eileen noticed that her sister Boletta had not attended the meeting, and it could only mean one thing, Boletta gave birth! Eileen took the day off from the salon and hurried over to the western side of the island, and to 14 Redward Elysee.

And she was right! Boletta had become the mom of a lovely daughter, named Doriette Wimster.

But, she isn't green either, and not really as red as her dad, Yesador...  Eileen reported from the meeting, and she found herself wondering if those Galuccians with green alien genetics would look anything like Boletta...

Eileen was a little annoyed with Boletta's ignorance. The whole DNA thing was on Eileen's mind all day, she had so many questions about her genetic heritage. Only a simweek ago, mom had told her about the alien Eileen who lived in the other world many generations ago, and our Eileen had planned to visit a huge library in the other world to look up anything she could find on the subject. But now she would not get access to anything but the local bookstore, Our Delightful Bookstore.

Now that Eileen was in the western region, she walked over to 6 Redward Heights, Redward Farm. Her friend and cousin Blanca Peel had just moved in with Yamir Redward, and it felt a bit weird. Anyway, Blanca knew how to cheer up an old friend.

Yamir Redward still keeps a couple horses, and he is slowly building up a routine for breeding and selling horses at Pets Field. Godrian wants to buy a horse, but must wait until finances are better.

Over at Linda O. Tulitto's house, there had been a birth, too!

But Linda was not in a very good mood...

Linda handed Hugo over to Eileen, and then told them that she wanted to buy some land and move their little house to a better location. Still, the most important about staying would be rewarding the scientists.

They stayed at Linda's house for many hours watching TV. This is yet the only TV-set on the entire island. The new store doesn't sell electronics, but anyone can order whatever they want from Galucca. If they only could afford it, TV-sets are not for free...

Later at night, Godrian, Eileen and their dad Archie had dinner at the farm. Richelle didn't feel well, and went to bed to read a little. Naturally, today's meeting was the subject at the dining table.

There is a total of 3 bedrooms upstairs, plus Archie's room downstairs. Actually plenty of rom for one crib. Did Richelle suspect triplets?

More in one week - hopefully on wednesday :-)
