Visiting PIccolo Luce

Friday, Winter in Tartosa (Oct 13)

The home of Alejandro’s parents in Oasis Springs didn’t have a pool. Just sayin’

Alej: It’s a little tedious rummaging for bits and pieces to fabricate, but I’m not committed enough to buy a dumpster.


For my “Fabricate 5 items” goal, I start by crafting two sage green end tables for our bedroom, under Zorro's strict supervision, naturally. The end tables look nice, but take forever to make, so I’m just fabricating 3 upgrade parts to complete that goal. *shrugs




Mariama: Zorro, would you please become my magical familiar?
Zorro: Your brother Kenji asked me the same thing, then he forgot all about me after two weeks. He coulda taken me to Moonwood Mill in August, as long as I stayed in the house. And don’t EVEN get me started on Ondarion.. I’m just glad Tae didn’t send me to Dambele Palace on Oct 1st! Anyway, what were you saying?
Mariama: I promise to love and cherish you, Zorro. My parents are done having kids (we hope), so you won’t be sent away again. Please?
Zoro: Oh, okay, but only cuz you asked real nice.
Mariama (to hserlf): Divo much?


Fenrir: You’re probably thinking that it’s too early for me to age up after only 13 days. But I was a child for 38 days. 38 + 13 days = 51 days. If we split that in tow, I average 25.5 days each in the child and teen stages. Anyway, Greta was visiting, so I aged her up, too. I got the Dog Lover trait, graduate high school with honors, and joined the Gardener career at L5.


Coralie: Whoa, this flying around on brooms is dope!
Mariama: Ain’t it, though?
Coralie: This is Piccolo Luce. I hope we catch both ladies at home.

Mariama: It's great getting to know you better, Dominque.  Do you have any Grapevine Gossip to share?
Coralie (whispers to Mariama): I'm getting mostly life advice from Camille. Wanna switch
Mariama (whispers back): Yeah, Dominique is a painter so she mostly gossips about scenic spots.

Mariama: No juicy gossip tonight. Do we need to hear certain Grapevine Gossip first, before the locals start spilling the good stuff?
Coralie: Well, the most interesting thing I heard tonight was that Greta Laurent looks most like written descriptions of Cordelia I and also shares her adventurous spirit. We should visit the Thebe Estate soon.
Mariama: The only lead I got is that there are rumors about the Lover’s Tree. Let’s hunt down find both that tree and its rumors!


Mariama: By the way, you should thank my fathers.
Coralie: About letting me stay? I already thanked them when I arrived on Friday morning.
Mariama: C’mon, Coralie. With your blond hair and violet eyes, my dads and I already figured out that you’re supposed to be Cordelia VI.
Coralie: But…but…
Mariama: But your mother loves you so much, she agreed with Papa Alej’s suggestion to marry Toma to Kenji’s daughter Aisha and set you free. She's fine with you living here with us, if that’s what you want.


Coralie: What?! You mean, I don’t have to live a stuffy noble’s life in Verdemar Palace as Cordelia VI?
Mariama: No, not anymore. Papa Tae convinced your parents that palace life isn’t for you and suggested that they try for another daughter. The Thebe violet eyes seem to run in the female line: your mother and you as well as Arnessa Thebe and her grand-daughter Greta. But not your twin Tomas, Arnessa’s son Hector nor Greta’s brother Jace.
Coralie: Wow.
Mariama: Yeah. Please say you’ll stay with us, Coralie!
