Ooky Spooky

Happy Halloween, everyone! Or, if you don’t celebrate Halloween, happy NaNoeen! If you don’t celebrate NaNoWriMo… why not? : P

The family got a new house, since the old one borked big time.

Laurel: I like the light.

Yes, Laurel. Pay attention to the generic lights I bought, and not the beautiful (and expensive) windows and doors which are the reason that the house couldn’t be furnished.

Satan Lighting: Welcome to Midnight Hollow!

Holy shitake mushrooms!

Well, since it’s a weekend in this town and no one has anything to do, it’s time for the family outing. To the gym, as Krypton’s still working on his athletic skill.

Where we meet this lovely lady. The internet tells me her name is Marina Rosa Vasquez. She looks scary working out, plus she kind of looks like a vampire, although I’m pretty sure she’s not?

Marina: Feel the burn!

The burn of hellfire?

Being also athletic, maybe, Strontium decides of his own accord to work out alongside his father.

While Yttrium does her homework. Even though she hasn’t been to this school yet, and therefore should not have those papers.

Yttrium: I’m not doing homework, I’m taking note of the odds of the Midnight Hollow horse races.

This game doesn’t have horses. You know that, right?

Yttrium: That’s what makes this so complicated. Now shh.

Niobium plays with her imaginary friend. Er… why can’t you be like your sister and bet on the horse races?

Niobium: You don’t like my dolly?

Well, we *do* have a full house

Laurel started to play the guitar they had in the gym. She’s apparently good enough to play for tips?

Zirconium: Whatever. I sure as hell ain’t tipping her.

Rubidium: Must. Gain. Muscle.

Um…

Rubidium: My sunny personality is inevitably going to get me in a fight. I want to be prepared.

Strontium didn’t do much working out before he went downstairs to tend to Molybdenum. Who, last chapter, somehow became a day younger than his sister.

Feeling the burn?

Krypton: Yes. Can I stop now? I’ve been going for eight hours or something.

He’s powering through those skill points like a boss, though. I can tell you that.

Yttrium was the first one to head home on her own.

Yttrium: I was just staying at the gym until the house stopped being possessed by Lord Satan.

Back to work?

Strontium: Work out, take a break. Work out, take a break. That’s the best way to get fit.

I see.

Niobium’s heading home too.

Niobium: I heard the house wasn’t possessed any more!

Do I have an actual picture of you?

Niobium: I don’t think so?

Eh, heir vote’s up soon. I’ll get it then.

Rubidium’s on the guitar now. And the gym disappeared. It probably left because she’s got no talent with that thing.

So… we don’t have chairs at the moment. So this happened.

Krypton: Why is it that I try to eat on the toilet like a normal person and have to be interrupted because my daughter’s taking a shower in the bathroom?

Yeah, what a freak.

Zirconium: Dad, please leave.

Krypton: Fine. But I’m coming back for my soup. Don’t you dare touch it.

Laurel found her bed alright, without me even telling her which one to pick!

Laurel: Someone left a half eaten bowl of soup on the bathroom floor. Disgusting.

Krypton: I agree. I now realize that nachos and salsa are a much better meal for the bathroom.

The kids not so much with the beds, but I don’t really care about that.

Niobium: zzz… new house…. of the damned…

Yttrium: Hey, I picked the right color bed!

Yes, you did. I appreciate that.

Satan House: GOOD MORNING SUNSHINE, TIME TO RISE, OR YOU’LL FIND SPIDERS IN YOUR EYES.

Yttrium: Stupid baby waking us up at the crack of dawn.

I don’t think that was your little brother, dear. : /

This is Cecelia Evans, and her brother Cornell. Strontium went home with them after school.

Cecelia: I like fires.

Kind of creepy, but then again Laurel was playing with fire CONSTANTLY in the first legacy… maybe Cecelia is spouse material?

Meanwhile… actually not meanwhile, because Strontium’s back already…

Strontium: She tried to burn my hair.

… Rubidium came home with Joseph Doe.

Laurel: So… I like… um… partially cloudy? Because there’s sun and also clouds.

Really?

Laurel: I went for the safe answer to ‘what’s your favorite weather’.

Ah. The Doe family is like perfect, except the game description says the house used to have a basement?

Niobium: I love you, dolly.

NIOBIUM. GET A LIFE.

Niobium: But I don’t wanna go in Jenny’s house. She’s scary.

Jenny as in…

Jennifer Doe?

DON’T DO IT. RUN AWAY. FAR AWAY FROM THAT GIRL.

Jennifer: *stepford smile* I have to be perfect… or else… 😀

Zirconium: I’m gonna be a princess!

Joseph: You should focus on schoolwork like your sister.

Yttrium: Okay, if the odds for the horse made entirely out of orphan screams is…

Zirconium: *immediately stops the ‘royal court’ interaction* Whatever you say, Joseph.

Then she plays tag with him. Aw, someone has a little crush!

Zirconium: Yeah, and it’s my birthday tonight, too.

Oh?

Joseph: Woo! Yeah weird girl I just met!

Zirconium: Soon he shall be mine, and we’ll dance at the prom…

I feel like prom in this town will feature pig’s blood.

But first let’s take a picture of Molybdenum, who is super adorable. He loves the outdoors, is over-emotional, and excitable.

Rubidium: OBVIOUSLY ORANGE IS THE BETTER COLOR.

Joseph: Why are you so hostile???

Oh, right. We wanted to see the twins?

Zirconium is insane, disciplined, hot-headed, and athletic. So… she’ll probably learn martial arts and then use her training to beat up just about everyone.

Laurel: So… how about we all go to a ball game?

Rubidium: Um… I gotta do homework.

Yttrium: Um… you’re forgetting someone?

You weren’t made over yet.

Yttrium: Well I am now.

I couldn’t resist that hair. It just looked so good on her. And then I had to go all out Steampunk with her other outfits, too. Even though she likes green instead of brown. Yttrium loves the outdoors and is an excitable coward who is also clumsy.

We’ve got a few days until Rubidium becomes an adult, so heir vote will likely be next chapter! (!!!)
