Geology

1. Chapter 2:
An Ill Wind blows, bearing Dark Omens

2. This chapter is brought to you by Angry Nanny.
No seriously, I has ideas and I needed to lay them out. I need to run an heir
poll so I know who to concentrate my plot on for the next generations, but
to do so I suppose I should finish this one don’t you think?

3. Your pink army grows master… *heavy breathing*
“IT LIVES!!!”
*lightning crashes, thunder rolls*
S’Cuse me I had an Igor moment there. *cough* My pink army is already 24
strong and it’s only the first freakin’ generation. I included three for Molly
since she technically lives here too and I should add three more for Trent’s
Servo which I named Marty.

4. Birthdays were had by Obsidian and
Onyx, on the same day since the two
were so close in age. Trust me there’s
a reason for the moving of the
timeline, I has plotz…but first we
need one more.

5. The only boy of this generation, Olivenite
grew up quite hot if I do say so myself.
And somehow the red hair and purple skin
just grows on you, even though the two
colours clash horribly. By this point the
older girls had gotten as many scholarships
as they could and headed off to college.
Only Olivenite and Basalt remained at
home. These were his transition clothes,
he just knew how to tone down the clash
with some awesome neutrals in clothing.
*snuggles Olivenite*

6. Trent: Must we do this? I mean, I love my red dreads…
Geodessa: Oh don’t be such a sour fuss pot; we get to wait for grandbabies!!
Family sim is tickled pink at the thought of it. I ever so hope they will be as well
behaved as our babies were.
Trent: Your sunny disposition is always a great comfort to me, my love.

7. Everyone, meet Marty. Activated by Ollie to prevent the shudder-inducing
Geodessa stalking that would occur had Trent activated him. And also I get
points for completing the founding generation’s FT requirements. *dances*
Olivenite: Now Marty, my parents are aging and I need someone to look after
them while I’m away at college with my sisters, can I count on you?
Marty: Yes, purple Master. I will perform as programmed; watch the elders.

8. Trent: So am I still hot?
Geodessa: Well… the kids are out, the house is quiet…
Trent: Oh…totally, I get it.

9. Geodessa: Thank you for being with me. I love you forever Trent.
Trent: Thank you for rescuing me from eternal boredom as a Dormie.
Geodessa: Bedroom?
Trent: Bedroom.
*hearts them*

10. Olivenite took Basalt with him to Archimedes Arcade and who should he run into?
Ani-Mei: Ollie!! Aren’t you the handsome little prince? You grew up nice.
Olivenite: I know you, you’re the Shiny One mom talked about.
Ani-Mei: It’s Lady Starr actually, to you anyway. But Shiny One is nice too. Are you
watching over the Bad Apple?
Olivenite: The what? Oh, Basalt. Yes, she’s with me…somewhere here.

11. Basalt is off doing Bad Apple stuff, like playing with the remote control car
with Unsavoury Charlatan hovering uncomfortably close by…but she
remained oblivious, playing with the car, making adorable faces…

12. Basalt: Vrroomm!! Beep Beep!! Move tuxedo dude!! You’re in my Bad Apple
space!!
*rams car into UC*
She truly does her own thing, Bad Apple style. Oh no, let me guess I just sealed
her heirship didn’t I? D’oh…

13. Basalt: Hey!! There’s a slide in here!! Whee!!

14. And her brother was playing pool. At least Basalt is away from UC. That’s
good right? He may as well get started on the xylophone trick, in fact they
all should soon…
As well as be prepared for what was coming.

15. Samantha Cordial had been sensing some ill intent drifting on the winds
coming off the ocean, towards the sleepy town for some time now. Her sister
Kimberly, relished in the idea of havoc about to be wreaked on this place; all
the Dark Witches were. She had to see the High White Witch, she would know
what it was…

16. Upon arriving though, she didn’t find the High White Witch…only Phoebe.
Samantha: Phoebe, where’s the Elder? I must speak with her urgently.
Phoebe: Well hello Phoebe, nice to see you, how have you been? A greeting would
have been nice.
Samantha: Where is she?

17. Phoebe: You’d like to see the Elder wouldn’t you Sam? But alas she is not available right
now. She’s on her annual research retreat; you know that. I am in charge in her stead.
Samantha: Fine. I guess I have to tell you then. Did you not sense the ill omens being
carried on the wind as of late? I fear something is about to happen.
Phoebe: Of course I did. Do you think I’m that incompetent? I just don’t know what you
expect me to do about it. I have not the knowledge of the Elder yet.

18. Samantha sighed; Phoebe had a point.
“Do you know who I can ask about it then?”
Phoebe: Of course I do, but good luck getting him to do anything. He’s enough trouble to
the Elder already, he will not likely want to speak to an underling of your class.
Samantha: All I can do is call right?
Phoebe: Sure, whatever you say…now I’ve got potions to mix, excuse me.

19. “You want me to what? That’s hilarious, really Sam.”
Samantha raised her head in an attempt to calm down before repeating her
request.
“I just think that it deserves some attention my Lord Gabriel. Why is that so
funny?”
Gabriel: Okay, I know, I know. Let’s talk outside okay?

20. Samantha: The omens just appeared recently. I don’t know what to do about
it. Our house is under a cloud of gloom because my dear twin sister thinks
that the omen is a sign that the Dark Powers have a chance to rise.
Gabriel: I know, I have been feeling it too, so has Ani-Mei but she’s so
enthralled with her new purple play things that she hasn’t noticed. So I sent
the kids out to scry for me. But Chanteri is somewhat distracted…I think he
has a thing for one of the Geology girls.

21. Samantha pursed her ruby lips in concentration; or rather attempted to. Lord Gabriel has
always been the object of desire for many of the younger female witches, and she was no
different. The High White Witch calls him a big distraction to her students, but he just
laughs her off and vanishes . Some of the girls think he’s a god of some sort, others just
say he’s a really powerful warlock, he never confirms or denies any of the rumours of
either so they’re left guessing. She tried to hide the warmth that crept into her cheeks
as he stared at her with those sapphire-blue eyes of his…
“Umm, ahem. So what do you think I should do? I want to do something.”

22. Gabriel: Honestly, just what you’ve been doing. Keep watch, and report
anything odd or strange to the Elder, or me; yeah to me is better. I can
persuade the Elder much better than you could.
Samantha felt her heart flutter; to him? Like directly? Oh dear…
“Sure I will, thank you my Lord.”

23. She knew she was staring again; but she couldn’t help it. If only she could…no
that was selfish of her. He was a level A warlock, and she only a lowly level D.
The two levels rarely talked to one another; it was kind of like an unwritten
rule that the levels do not mix. But still, it didn’t stop her from thinking about
what it would be like to be held in his strong arms; having his gorgeous eyes
see only her…

24. Meanwhile, on the other side of the chasm that separated the Fortress of
Eternal Darkness from the Palace of Never Ending Light, plans of a different
sort were being discussed.

25. Kimberly: I want to be the first one to greet this dark omen!! My idiot twin is all
twitter about stopping it; I want to show it the front door.
Shelby: Of course you do Kimberly Cordial, you’re our most enthusiastic Dark
Witch, you make the Matriarch proud…unlike that disappointment Robin.
She spat on the floor at the mention of Robin’s name, the Dark Witch who
betrayed them by marrying a white-lighter.

26. Kimberly: Oh is she dead yet? Can I kill her? Pleasssee???
Shelby: Patience dear; one thing at a time. And Orion already claimed that
mission, sorry.
Kimberly : Pooh. But I get the other one right?
Shelby: Yes, you do. Don’t worry about that.

27. Shelby: So your mission is this: locate the Ill Omen and find out what its intent is, then do
whatever you can to assist it. Do well and a promotion to a level C Dark Witch is yours.
Kimberly: Understood. Anything else?
Shelby: Not at the moment. Just find the Ill Omen first, then we’ll see what happens
afterwards.

28. Shelby: You’re such an eager beaver, I love it.
Kimberly: And my sister?
Shelby’s smile vanished instantly.

29. Shelby: Oh I care not for the white-lighter. Just tolerate her, since our most
ancient laws forbid killing kin; even if they are a pain in the ass, do what you
need to so you can succeed in the mission.
Kimberly: Easy for you to say; I have live with her.

30. Meanwhile, by the beach of Belladonna’s main cove; the Ill Omen was readying
their plan of attack.
“Y’arr so you know why we be here right? Run aground in this cursed cove?”
The three others nodded in agreement.

31. “The Diviner be here in this berg; I feel it in me bones. To have the Diviner is
to control the seven seas and all the riches they be hoarding in the briny
deep. To crack open Davy Jones’ locker, the Diviner is the key.”
“We know cap’n, we ‘eard all this before.”
“Don’t be sassin’ me boy!! I’ll have yer head!!”

32. “But how we gonna find the Diviner pa?”
“Aye, that be the beauty part boy; we have a secret weapon.”
“What?”

33. The pretty blond pirate wench beside him chimed in.
“Caspian, you know better than to question your father. He will tell us when it’s
time to.”
Caspian: I know ma, I just curious.

34. “I just don’t get why we gotta hide here like some common bilge rat father. Why can’t
we be looking out there for the Diviner?”
Captain Black Star stared at his daughter; she always did have the mouth in the
family.
Black Star: Cuz it not be time to show our hand my dear.
“And we do not yet know what may be out there daughter.”

35. Caspian eyed his sister with contempt; she was always the one who could get
away with back talking their father. If he did that he got the back of his
father’s hand, or conveniently swiped at with any near by object. However the
high point of being the only boy is that he got the ship when his father died,
and then he’d be captain. And his first act as captain would be to make Ariel
walk the plank and feed her to the sharks off the coast where no one would
ever find her body. He chuckled inwardly at the thought.

36. Ariel: Father, daddy dearest, let me go out into the landlubber’s town and
search for the Diviner, I can bring back all sorts of information using my
feminine wiles.
Caspian: You mean whore yourself out to drunken bar rats!! Father, please
don’t let her go, let me go instead.
Ariel: I am no whore!!

37. Black Star: None of ye will be going ashore!! Thar be strange things out there… tis not the
Belladonna Cove we know anymore.
Caspian and Ariel both began to protest but their father’s loud bellow silenced them
quickly.
“All good things come in time.”

38. Basalt: HA!! Bet y’all didn’t see that coming!!
