Settling in Tomarang

 Carly, Day 213, August 2, 2026

Carly and Phillip and family made the move to Tomarang in the wee hours of a Thursday morning. Amelia took the day off school. There were some things to unpack (and there are still more pictures and things to unpack) but it is starting to feel like home. Amelia started her mental aspiration and she still needed to read with an adult for 2 hours. Things got crazy hectic in Strangerville before they left so she finally got time to sit down with Dad and a good book. Dad is dressed up because he went on a noble venture earlier, which paid off with a quick promotion to King of Tomarang.

And Phillip helped Amelia with her homework. The dining and living areas are very open.

And Austin is starting to get to know Em better.

Carly and Phillip started working on the treehouse.

And Amelia was talking to Austin while he ate.

Austin playing with his electronic game thing - really this picture is just to show the awesome picture on the wall.


And Leo stopped by very late on Thursday night. Everyone was still up so Amelia went out to talk to him and they looked at stars and played hopscotch.


 

It is always nice to take Em for a walk in a new location to see some of the neighborhood. It is very pretty - more urban than I remembered, but pretty. They are living in the 40x30 lot in Morensong.

I don't know if anyone remembers me saying that in my main save I had a couple live in Tomarang while the wife solved the Strangerville mystery and then they moved -- but while they were in Tomarang it rained torrential downpours everyday and I hated it.  Well, when Carly and Phillip got to Tomarang it was pouring rain and I looked at the calendar and it was going to rain for 5 out of the next 6 days. This beautiful weather in this post was made possible by an amber ring.

Dinner With Friends

Image
 Carly, Day 57, February 26, 2026 Carly intended for just the girls to get together for dinner so they could talk about Jace and Ashley, but Carly forgets that if a few of them get together, it's a club meeting. Watcher will forever forget that so the gang went to the restaurant in Gibbi Point. Since the activities are singing and dancing for now, Irene and Lilith decided to entertain this lovely couple. And Lilith continued to entertain them and everyone else sat down at the table.  Carly: I am so excited for the move. Cebolla: Me too and doesn't Honey look cute? Honey: Is it just me or did Tae lighten his hair? Jace: Carly, what did you all think of Ashley? Carly: Jace, you know one thing I've never done in Gibbi Point is shoot an apple off someone's head. Honey: Oh yeah, that's fun. Jace: And you want me to put an apple on my head? Carly: Yes, it will be fun. Jace thinking I hope she knows what she's doing Cebolla: I do it all the time, I don't think you...

Back At Home

 Carly, Day 146, May 26, 2026 The best thing about coming home after a long vacation... Em: Mommy, mommy, I missed you. Carly: I missed you too cutie pie. Carly was a little rusty with her swordsmanship training though. Carly: Ouch! And Carly started right in on trying to complete the social puppeteer. She thought maybe she could get some secrets at some of the bars, so after Phillip went to sleep, Carly headed out. She got enough secrets to complete the third part of the aspiration. Look how muscular everyone is though. It was definitely that decree. I had Phillip remove it so we'll see if people stop being so muscular. For the fourth part, she has to expose the royal burglar and she has to become friends with the Information Broker, as well as deal with 10 more secrets. But she is able to hack for the secrets in that last phase so she has been doing that too. And all of these interactions with the nobles has increased her rank with the nobles to where she outranks Phillip.  ...

Start of a New Term

 Carly, Day 96, April 6, 2026 One thing that makes University so hard is not getting your new classes until about 6PM and then you may have 3 classes to do homework for. Luckily, Carly only had 2 Thursday classes to prepare for. She was hard at work (mostly hard at work) studying when someone happened to be walking by her house and couldn't resist stopping in to see her.  Watcher: You just have to get through two class homeworks tonight.  Carly: I know. Watcher: You do not look like you are reading about writing children's books. Carly: I am still reading the book.  That's about the time Paolo showed up. That little want she has in the corner is to woohoo with Paolo.  Watcher: Carly, you still have to finish one more homework. Carly: Watcher says I have to do this one homework before we whatever. Paolo: What's a watcher? Carly: You don't have one. You get to do whatever you want whenever you want. But then they were interrupted by someone else coming in the hous...
