Chapter 6 - Growing upBasil spent a lot of time help Anise with her skills. He had overheard his parents talking about how it up to their family to make the world safe again. At first he didn't understand what they meant, but as he got older he learned about the disaster and how it changed their world.
Basil grew up quite well. Isn't he handsome!
Basil thinks he is strong enough to go out and get a job now that he is a teenager. No more school for him, since his dad has yet to reach the top of the education career path. He still has some skilling to do.
Basil started a fire in the kitchen when he put the trash in the old stove for disposal. Luckily Yates has been here before and has studied fire safety. He suggested that Basil pick up the book too.
Anise grew up a few days after Basil. She is actually a lot nicer than Basil, though not as neat.
She looks so much like Jasper, except for those strange red eyebrows.
Jasper insists that Anise learns how to play chess, she says it will combat boredness and it helps build up logic skills. Secretly Jasper wants to spend more time with Anise, because Anise is a daddy's girl.
Yates teaches Anise some dance moves.
Just before Jasper turned into an elder, she gave birth to triplets (totally forgot remove that mod before playing this family...ooopsy!) Two girls and one boy, Rosemary, Ginger and Dill. Jasper decided that all of the future generations should be named after herbs and spices, which she fell in love with in her culinary career. Rosemary is picture here. (She and Ginger have red eyebrows....must be attached to the hair mesh or something.)
Ginger is the most complaining baby I have had in a long time. Nothing seems to satisfy her. She keeps waking up the other two babies with all of her crying and screaming. They cuddle her and feed her, yet she still cries.
When Jasper ages into elderhood she has a nervous breakdown, because she didn't reach her lifetime goal. I was sad for her, but knew she would get over it eventually.
Basil tries to help out more with the triplets since his mom has gotten older. He knew he had to help them grow up well. He is also hoping to be chosen as the heir, so he figures this would give him a better chance. He had better chose the military career path, so all of the siblings could move out and help lift some of the restrictions (I am letting all children of the founder work lifting the restrictions, but only one will be the chosen heir and can marry).
While taking out the trash Basil noticed this young lady walking by, so he introduced himself to her. Her last name is Winter (I forgot the first name). Basil is starting to think about potential spouses already and he has not been chosen as the heir yet.
Ms. Winter is no fool, she has heard about the family and hopes to become a part of it someday. She knows Jasper is the one responsible for everyone being able to eat a variety of foods than they had right after the disaster. She asks Jasper to impart some of her knowledge and of course, Jasper is eager to do so. She knows this young lady could possibly become a part of her family someday.
Jasper looks at her children and hopes that she is preparing them properly for what lays ahead of them. She is now an elder with three babies and two older children. She thinks of how lucky she is to share her life with them, even in this dismal world. She and Yates have to decide who will be the heir soon, they will not consider any of the triplets since they are so very young. They both want to live to see the heir become an adult and marry.
