Chapter 2.5: Another Era Has Come to Pass

Welcome back to my Name Game Challenge! Last time there were aspirations completed, promotions achieved and birthdays celebrated, which left us with a lot of pop ups. I’m going to endevor to use less, much less pop ups this time around. Let’s get to it!

Xzavier: Bubble, bubble toil and trouble!

Xzavier: Mmm, tasty now I feel rejuvenated!

Xzavier downed a Potion of Plentiful Needs and went fishing for his outdoor badge. I think he got to level 2 before he got that notification telling him the fish were too clever, or something, for him.

Alborz is getting quite good at the piano.

Alojzia enlisted the help of Alborz and Xzavier to build her rocket.

Alborz: So we’ll be able to use this rocket as well once we’re done, right?

Xzavier: I mean it’s only fair.

Alojzia: Yes you can use it, but I get priority.

Galaxy: *hits self with hammer* Owowowowow, man you’d think after a while I wouldn’t be making rookie mistakes. Man that’s gonna leave a mark.

Xzavier: Man I look like the Wicked Witch of the West. This is so not a good look for me!

Xzavier: Yo bro, what’s up?

Gai: What are you doing here Xzavier?

Xzavier: Dad gave me the gift. What, are you not happy to see me?

Gai: Of course I am! It just took me by surprise is all.

Xzavier: Hey since I need to improve my spellcasting ability would you mind having a friendly duel with me?

Gai: Bring it on! Just know, you aren’t going to win.

Gai: Woooo! That was a pretty good match! You ok?

Xzavier: Yeah, you taught me a lot. Next time though you won’t be so lucky!

Gai: Ha! Luck had nothing to do with it, pure skill over here.

Gal bestows the gift of spellcasting on Tammy.

Xzavier caught the final ingredient for the cure potion! Also he and Alborz came home with their high school As. +1

Ali: What is that gastly looking concoction?

Gal: Oh, just a cure potion. Xzavier cursed himself, but fear not he was able to gather the last ingredient.

Ali: WHAT! He cursed himself! Is he alright?

Gal: Of course he is. I said fear not didn’t I. The curse was relatively minor, just temporarily disfiguring.

Ali: WHAT!

Xzavier: Well that wasn’t as bad as I thought it was going to be.

The rocket is finally built and Alojzia goes on her first trip to outer space.

So I’ve been trying to avoid using these all chapter but Xzavier is now a Llamacorn Scout as well as Lojze so +2.

I’ve been speeding through game play and missed Galaxy’s birthday 😦

The next morning is Alojzia and Lojze’s birthday. Alojzia adds Paranoid to her traits and Lojze adds Family-Oriented.

Tammy also aged up so Lojze could propose an marry her. They moved out right away but I think I’m going to keep Alojzia around to see if I can complete her aspiration before Xzavier ages up.

Yavuz finishes his aspiration +1 but I don’t think I’m going to have him try for another.

Jimena is heavily pregnant and doesn’t look too happy about it. Remember she Hates Children, which was the reason I didn’t pick her for Gal.

Alojzia and Lojze add their portraits to the family gallery +2. A little family time round the tv and roaring fire. It’s season premiere time. Also Ali got promoted to Tenured Professor.

All that’s left for Alojzia to complete her aspiration is to master the logic skill. Aunt Jimena is nice enough to help out.

Right now I have Ali and Gal working on the Fabulously Wealthy aspiration, though I am having Ali go between this and the family aspirations. All that to say when Ali as some spare time she helps make even more money by painting.

Gal has made an Exo suit and helmet. I was going to have him make the arms but then I noticed he can make a Servo!

Xzavier: Take that you broken toilet!

Xzavier: Damn it! That wasn’t the right spell!

During this fiasco Gal mastered the Robotics skill +5.

Ali and Alojzia: Ahh! The toilet’s on fire! How is that possible?

Alborz: Hey guys, what’s going on?

Mac n’ Cheese made the way it was intended, in a big cast iron cauldron.

The baby of the family is turning into a teenager.

Yavuz rolled Perfectionist and Bodybuilder.

Yavuz’s birthday coincided with New Years. Hugs all around! Gal and Ali actually kissed but I didn’t take a picture 😥

Xzavier is now an Adept spellcaster and can now levitate his books. I could have sworn that Ulrike could immediately do this when she became a spellcaster.

Xzavier is in range for Responsible and Empathetic and is really close to Emotional Control so I am determined he will achieve Emotional Control before his birthday.

Rainbows and sparkles galore! Alojzia completed her aspiration! Which means she also mastered the logic skill! +5 for the aspiration and another 5 for mastering logic!

She now can instantly upgrade objects so she upgrades one of the computers and this stereo. I was going to have her stick around to upgrade all items in the house but she can only do this once every day or few hours so I had her move out to be at the mercy of story progression.

I’ve been having Xzavier go through Collector and Freelance Botanist aspirations.

Gal: Ah, finally I have achieved the top of my career! I am officially a Master of Machines, I can retire now. +5

Al and Xzavier being good older brothers and finishing Yavuz’s project for him.

It’s Geek festival time and since all the kids were at school and Ali was a work Gal went and he won the hackathon!

Gal has built a Servo! Her name is Kit Robo and she is a Genius, bookworm who loves art.

Gal: It’s alive!

Kit: Correction, you have designated this unit as She or Kit there for that is how you should address this unit.

And being an Art Lover one of her wishes was to paint so she is helping Ali. Ali has mastered the painting skill +1.

The boys are finally Young Adults! Alborz rolled Art Lover and Xzavier rolled Creative. Alborz achieved Responsible and Emotional Control and Xzavier also achieved those plus Empathetic.

Just a little sneak peek for next chapter. Xzavier goes camping!
