01-26. The Dark Fantasy Family

It was night time when I switched over to the Dark Fantasy household at the castle.

Idora and Gork are the most "socially challenged" of the Dark family. Their combo of traits make them difficult to play well together!

Gork had just gotten home from work at the Criminal Hideout and was talking to Chaos the Black Dragon. Idora walked straight outside and ripped into him over a trivial matter (Diva trait).

But not to worry, Gork seems to like women with lots of fire in their blood!

As a sweet gesture, he snuck up behind her and yelled ... because nothing says, "I want to get to know you better" more than being creepy.

Not sure what prompted Idora to start practicing with a bow and arrow, but my advice to Gork is to watch his back!

Which reminded me, the family needed their Death Flowers for insurance against untimely demise. So I sent Gork to harvest plants in the outdoor garden.

Meanwhile, Idora went to the well to wish for happiness ... and received the blessing. It's temporary, but a nice moodlet to have.

The next morning, Emily woke up early with a negative moodlet because she's a Night Owl. She also had several Witch magic wishes. I had her cast a Good Luck charm on herself to help her feel better.

Gort was also practicing magic and learned a couple of incantations from Lady Ravendancer Goth's Book o' Spells.

I saw Idora wandering over to pester Emily, and I discovered that the girls disliked each other. Must be rivalry for Matriarchal Madam of the family!

I thought maybe I should intervene and lighten things up between these two. Idora has the Unlucky trait, so I had Emily cast a Good Luck charm on her.

Idora didn't seem to appreciate it much! ... "You're welcome, Idora!"

Then there was the bee episode ... I sent Emily out to tend the bees: smoke, clean, feed them, harvest honey. Emily didn't get very far with the task!

First of all, Idora was on the prowl again. She had wanted to Project the Aura of Soothing, which she was doing, but she also had queued up Chattering Teeth against Emily.

Unfortunately at that moment, Emily was attacked by the bees!

At least Idora's Aura of Soothing helped relieve some of the severity of that! I hadn't seen a bee attack in a long time. I actually have a mod that reduces the chance of it happening.

The attack was brief, so Idora still continued with her Chattering Teeth trick. I didn't stop her because I was going to have Emily retaliate with a bit of Witch meanness in turn!

But a Witch spell wasn't needed. Idora's trick backfired! Served her right!

Ok, girls. Let's try to get along, shall we? How about a game of kicky bag. Express your inner Rebels.

Play fair. And keep it friendly.

It was time for Gort to get serious about his Painting career.

And his Street Art Lifetime Wish.

I caught Gork down in the basement making Inappropriate forum posts.

He had a wish to get his fortune told, so I sent him to the Gypsy Wagon. The prediction was good, but vague.

That evening, Pamela threw her own party and the neighbors were invited. Rexel and Marion actually attended together. They were flirting, so I guess their relationship is ok.

Rexel jumped into the hot tub for a short while.

While Marion went upstairs and practiced her violin. She's getting better at it now. So Cute. I'm glad I didn't kill her!

Gort had wanted to learn the guitar skill, so he started a jam session and invited others to join him. Gork asked Idora to slow dance. Even Wiley and Tigette enjoyed the music. Rexel was still in his swimsuit for this screenshot.

Pamela relaxed in the hot tub by herself.

And Vince asked Jillie to dance with him. I'm not sure where Torin was. But the party was nice and there were no bad incidences. Pamela was a good hostess even if she wasn't as gregarious as some of the others.
