Fall - Week 2

Now that Ari is of the mortal age to babysit, I left her to look after Tori so I could finally get out of the house. Days have begun to blur together as I take care of the garden, take care of the children, and occasionally take care of myself. I heard of this town called Windenburg where people go to get together a lot. I could've easily used that Simda app thingy again, but I wanted to let loose for a little bit. 

I hit the first club I found and loved the vibe. It was still early, so not too many mortals were there, but it was still fun nonetheless. I met this cute DJ there and we hit it off pretty quick. There must be something about my Goddess energy that men find irresistible because I never seem to have to try too hard. We ended up hooking up on the balcony. Much to my dismay, he was wise enough to use a condemn. Something tells me he gets around more than even I do! 

Things got awkward once we finished so I decided to look for another club. I didn't have to look too hard to find another one. People were right about this town! By this time I had a few drinks in me and everyone started looking good to me. I found a man within minutes whose fertility was registering off the charts for me. I didn't even get his name - I just threw him in the closet and had my way with him. I stuck around for a little bit after that, but figured I should get home to the girls. 

By the next morning I knew that night was a success; I felt awful. It turned out to be the roughest pregnancy yet. I just felt so sick all the time and had no energy. I managed to force my way through it, making sure the girls and the garden were good as usual, but this has definitely been a challenge. I even had to enlist some help in renovating the house this time around. I hired an architect and contractor to make sure we have the room. I asked them to put in a little play room for the girls as well.

We even put in a little cabin for Ari to work out it in. It will eventually hold the most important crops once winter hits so we can continue to gain income from it. I'm happy with the results and happy these babies are going to be born soon. 

Fall - Week 1

Wow this has been a busy week! I was able to find an apple tree to add to the garden and provide some cover for the flowers so they will continue to yield profits. It turns out my weeds are surviving the falling temperatures, so I'm okay there as well. They are thriving and usually take up most of my morning. I expanded that portion of the garden a little bit to try to get further ahead in those Simoleans. It seems they go as quickly as I get them.

Ari and Tori BOTH aged up already. They are some talented little conduits; I think the Elementals are going to be pleased with them. Ari is now a teen. Despite being an Aries, I think all of her working out is keeping her level-headed. She is quite beautiful as well.

Tori has become a little Taurus child. She's very creative and just genuinely sweet. It's hard to feel down while Tori is around. 

She does seem to have a little shy side to her, but I think that just adds to her charm. Her goal for the Elementals is to excel in Cooking. I can't wait to start sharing the recipes I've picked up since I've been on Earth. I've been keeping my eye out for good cook books for her when she ages up into a teen as well. 

With the girls growing up, I think it's time to add the Gemini twins to our little coven to keep this moving along. I'm getting acclimated to life on Earth and these girls are definitely finding places in my heart, but I need to remember why I'm doing this.

Ari Child Makeover

Her ambition is to be a Rambunctious Scamp and she received the Aries trait.

Ari Toddler Makeover

 I completely forgot to post this earlier, but here is Ari as a toddler in each of her outfits after a little CAS makeover 😀

Final Week of Summer

I'm trying to make the most out of the final days of Summer - getting all of my crops ready, playing with Ari in the pool, just enjoying the nice, warm days. It was a little challenging when I had the new conduit, the Taurus. It took a little bit to get used to balancing my time with it all, but I go there. I even managed to max out my Cooking & Gardening skills in all the chaos!

Ari is now a child, making room for Tori (the Taurus conduit) to become a toddler. I'm so proud of my children. They are going to make great lunar goddesses. 

My next task is to prepare for Fall and make sure I have crops that will get us through and to find someone to give me Gemini twins. Lots to do...will update you next week!

Here's all of a little Tori's outfits. We were blessed with her having the Independent trait.

Summer - Week 3

Wow! How quickly time flies! Life has simply been taken over by dirty diapers and pulling weeds in my garden. I wasn't sure how I was going to continue on my quest of creating more conduits (or if I was even up to it tbh). But when it's not pouring rain here, and I catch a glimpse of the Sun, I remember why I'm doing this. 

Without really being able to leave the house, I did some research and resorted to meeting donors on my phone. It turns out there's this really neat app that just brings them right to me. It was no harder than ordering a pizza! I met a few suitors, but finally got lucky with Mr. Lane Wilkins from down the street. His genetics are impeccable and I know he will give me a beautiful Taurus conduit.

J has been a surprisingly good father figure. He comes around everyday to check on little Ari. He plays with her and even picks up around the house. It's been a big help with me being pregnant again. This pregnancy has been especially tough on me. I'm so tried all of the time and if I'm not sleeping, I'm peeing or eating! I really have to do this ten more times?! I wonder if it gets any easier?

I've still managed to maintain the garden and it's paying off in BIG ways! I was able to renovate the house again, making room for another household member and to make Ari her own little toddler room. 

Summer - Week 2

 Whew! Well, I did it! I managed to scrounge enough for a house. And just in time too! You can even see my garden I've been working so hard on!

Now for the more important news...I've birthed the first conduit; my little Aries baby. I've decided to call her Ari in celebration of the sign. 

 I think the first night was hardest for me. I wasn't quite sure what to do when she was crying and she had no way to communicate with me what she needed. It was all very stressful and I didn't sleep very much the first few nights. I think we got there in the long run. I couldn't be more thrilled and Ari is a beautiful little mortal.

First Week of my First Summer on Earth

 Well, I guess the rumors are true - it only takes one try! I'm pregnant with the first conduit! I have to admit I am extremely nervous. I have no real house to speak of and I haven't the slightest clue about raising a human. I was so desperate to be forever united with my true love, I didn't really think about all the semantics of getting there! Everything is about getting Simoleans at this point. I absolutely need to have some form of decent shelter for this child! 

I'm doing everything I can do - I've expanded the garden, which is yielding many good selling crops: Daisies, Lemons, Carrots. I was even able to secure some less legal crops. I had never heard of these plants before, but if used correctly, they can help medically and spiritually. They make me a lot of Simoleans as well, so I'm not complaining! I also bought a woodworking table to sell homemade crafts and to make some furniture for the house once I get it built. 

This won't be a very long entry as I really have so much to get done and not a lot of time to do it!

Week 1

Well my first week here is over and I'm just grateful I got through it. There's definitely a learning curve when it comes to this mortal business. I was so used to just manifesting anything and everything I needed. It took me a couple of days to understand you need skills and these things called Simoleans to bring about that which you desire. 

Then there was the issue of where to get these Simoleans. That took a day or two as well. I kept noticing embedded crystals, mounds of dirt, and flowers while I was walking around the neighborhood, so one day I decided to extract those crystals, dig up those mounds, and harvest some of the flowers to see what I could do with them. It turns out I could sell those things! 

I decided to plant some of the flowers so I didn't have to keep running over to them every time they regrew. I also took up fishing and began selling the fish I caught. Turns out I really enjoy fishing! 

By the third day I was able to erect a tiny room - just big enough to fit my bed and fridge. It's been raining a lot here and it was making the fridge break every few minutes. 

Towards the end of the week, I kept hearing all these people talk about Love Day. I wasn't quite sure what it was, but everyone was excited about it and it sounded lovely. I decided to go out on the town and explore a bit more and try to experience it a little myself. 

I went to a local bar in town where I met the nicest people. There was this one man in particular that caught my eye - J Huntington III. Boy was he handsome. And charming! We danced, we talked, and he bought me my first alcoholic drink. It made my head feel funny, but I kind of liked it. The night got away from us and the next thing I knew, we were Woo Hooing in the bathroom! I was nervous at first, not knowing what to expect, but it was an altering experience. I'm not going to lie, I'm looking forward to making these twelve conduits now that I know how it's done. 

Here's me and J after that lovely evening. I hope we stay good friends.

Earth Bound

Earth - Day 1

I felt a rush of energy rage through my body as the hot white light overtook me. My breath was stolen from me and I could feel every cell and particle that made me who I am tingle as they transformed. I'm not sure how long the whole process took, but it felt like seconds. 

When I finally felt everything turn back to normal, I mustered up the courage to take a deep breath and slowly open my eyes. I gasped at what I saw. I was actually on Earth. I'm not sure where - everything was so small from my vantage all these millenia, but there was no doubt it was Earth. 

I found myself sitting on a large plot of grass surrounded by trees and water. A large fountain was dancing in the distance. While looking around, I noticed the essentials the Elementals had spoken about: a simple bed, an old fridge, a shower, a sink, and a small garbage bin. They failed to mention they were not providing me with shelter. Funny how they left that out. Where was I to get that from? Build it myself?! Ugh. I have a lot to learn about living on Earth.

Looking at were my only possessions now, I was filled with dread and fear. Had I made the right decision? Do I really want to give up what I had? And then as if he could hear me, the sun broke through the clouds I hadn't even noticed and shone brightly down on me, warming me from the inside out. I closed my eyes and lifted my head up to him and smiled as brightly and as warmly as he was. Yes. Yes I definitely made the right decision. 

Humble Beginnings

Elemental Ruling

 The Elements did not keep Luna waiting long. Earth was first to speak, "we will grant you your heart's desire." Luna could not wait for the rest. Instead she rushed forward to hug them all and was gushing with joy. 

"Thank you, thank you all so much." Tears were rushing over her warmed cheeks.

Water held her hand up, "unfortunately my dear, we cannot just simply relinquish you of your duties." Luna caught her breath and stared at the elements with uncertainty. 

Air was next to speak, "when we created you, you were given much power. We are going to send you to the Earth that you once protected. There you must create twelve female conduits representing the twelve zodiac signs in which we can distribute your power. With these twelve conduits we will be able maintain the lunar cycles and then you will be free to have your beloved Sun."

Luna was speechless. She spent her entire existence protecting the life forces far below her. Now she was expected to become one of them?! Her eyes narrowed with determination; any trials the elementals threw at her would be worth being forever united with her love without interruption.

Fire watched closely as Luna took in the information. He gave her some time before he finally spoke. "It is important to know that while you are on Earth, you will be mortal and will be starting out with minimal survival tools. You will be subject to illness, exhaustion, and even death. It will be up to you to provide for you and your conduits. Each conduit that you create will need to go through tests to prove their worth to us. Are you willing to accept these terms?" Without hesitation, despite a twinge of fear in her gut, Luna nodded her head. "Very well. So it will be done."

The four elementals formed a circle around Luna, said a chant, and then Luna was surrounded by a light brighter than the sun itself. 

Live by the Sun, Love by the Moon

There is a Goddess of the Moon, named Luna. Her sole celestial purpose is to guard the Moon and ensure it stays on track with its cycles and continues to guide the Earth's many cycles. She knows it's an important task and has always taken it very seriously, but after a few millennia, she grew lonely. She would catch glimpses of this brilliant light as she brought the moon's comforting beams to the other side of the planet she was created to protect. It wasn't until a fateful eclipse brought her close enough to the Sun to finally meet the creator of those brilliant beams.

Because of the eclipse she discovered what companionship was like. She quickly found herself forlorn when the celestial event was over and found herself anxiously awaiting the next. After much waiting, another fateful eclipse brought them together once again. Over the next few centuries the sun and the moon would wait for their paths to cross and make the most of their time together. The events never lasted long enough for them. They knew they were in love and didn't want to have to continue waiting for the next eclipse to be together.

Tired of waiting for the planets to align for them to be together, Luna went to elements, begging to be relieved of her post as Guardian of the Moon. She explained her yearning for the Sun and cried to them about the loneliness of being the sole being on the Moon. They sympathized with her plight but told her they couldn't just simply allow her to give it up. They asked her to give them one full cycle of the Moon while they tried to come up with a solution.

Luna left them full of hope and joy, determined to be forever united with her beloved Sun. This helped her get through the next 28 day cycle, even if she was anxious of what the elementals would come up with. Luna spent her nights guarding the Moon and guiding the Earth's cycles with her eyes to the opposite horizon, hoping for even just a glimpse of the Sun.

Finally, the cycle came to an end. She quickly made her way back to the elementals, desperate to know her fate.
