tigeranne | The Starbloom Travecy - Generation 5.11! Hooray they're back! D:

HIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII PEEEEEEEEPZ this is Narrator! :D Guess what! The Starblooms are back! There's a recap of what's going on behind the cut!

Ooooops I forgot the recap! I hope no one saw this before I added it! Aylatani and Phil are in hospital disguised as a man with a mysterious infection and his wife. They're looking for Aylatani's face, which they heard is being kept in cold storage there. And Aamiley is getting ready to grow up and start her destiny with Billy.

In the darkness of a September night in 1978, Jonahtan had an encounter with a mysterious black wolf with glowing firefly eyes.

T'anakima got a new jacket. It had embroidered unicorns and rainbow ponies all over. It was almost the 80s, when MLP would be invented for the first time, and back then it was only for children (because adults used to have fulfilling lives, or at least think so because they didn't know better, so they didn't need to reclaim their inner children all the time), so she'd have to wear it as much as possible before them so her children wouldn't be embarrassed.

Riana and Iris are gothic. They like going to the beach even when it's not so warm, because they see the beauty in the coldness of changing seasons.

T'ana was very beautiful and mysterious which made many people attracted to her. It would be problematic if one of them was her son-in-law.

Aamiley: I'm so done with school, Billy you wouldn't believe it. We have this teacher who's morbidly obsessed with fly-fishing and manages to bring it into every topic ever, and Jasper is still selling drugs outside every day and the school think it's great because he's providing medicine to the sick children. Oh, and we're having a math's project! I mean, how do you even?

Billy: I'm so glad I'm Victorian and only had to go to school for five years.

Suddenly Billy overheard a conversation.

T'ana: She can't be anything or anyone but a ghost. How else could she call us in the 1800s, and still call us now?

Jonathan: Maybe she was travelling in time too?

T'ana: Yes, but her voice? At least I think it's a woman. It doesn't sound like a man, but then again it doesn't really sound like any woman I've ever heard either.

Aami: I hoped we'd left the spookables behind in the 19th century, but it's just as creepy here sometimes.

Bolly: Every time and every season has its ghost.

Riana had started attracting wolves. They came to follow her around, like tame dogs.

Billy: Is that The Book of Edgar?

Adana: No, this is Liranda's book of prophesies. I've borrowed it from her to see if maybe we have misinterpreted the words on the subway walls. Somethinges don't add up to zero.

Ammiley: Jacob was voted Most Likely to Marry a Sister He Doesn't Know About.

T'ana: Oh no, poor sister!

Suddenly ballfire started flying around their big tree.

The rain and Jonathan put it out, but it was strange how air could just burn like that.

There are many texts in this update, but I can't handle that so I'm just going to tell you what happens in them. Ryan got promoted.

Oh no, Jonathan is just like his dad!

Adama burnt the chicken legs, and it inspired Iris to think of a topic for her presentation at school. She rehearsed it with Andrina, to get the right level of passion for an A+.

Cindy had gotten over her dark and gothic phase, and now she was digging the Disco era. Let's have some BeeGees to set the mood.

Moonshine: I'll just take this bed then.

Noodle: O_O

T'anamika looked so beautiful, vintage and enigmatic in her unicorn jacket.

Ryan: Oh I know who you are! You're the woman who married the man who couldda been my dad!

Ferrett: Yes that's me!

Ryan: This is weird, you could have been my mom!

Aamiley: Oh no grandpa please don't!

Ryan: You're not in the 1950s anymore, kid. Embrace the Hippie years!

Aamiley: That was literally ten years ago. You're out of touch.

What now? Charlie's a superherp? Who appointed HIM to that?

Ohai, Beau is coming over! :D

Jonathan was teaching Moonie bad habits, but he had adopted him and wanted to continue to be favourite human (or wolf). If you're going to feed your cats chicked, make sure it's properly cooked, has no bits of bone (important) and take the skin off.

T'ana: I'm going back to Vixtorian London dslfclsdflsdkjfk

Beau was getting way better at DJing. He only lost the headphones once! :D

Jonathan got a job as a cement mixer. I hope it just meant that he was in charge of mixing, and not that he was somehow turned into the machine called that every day. Like the evil witch showed up to transfigure him. ô_õ Imagening having to chew, gargle and puke cement! x( Jolene says I'm a very literal thinker?

White wolf that's not Andre: Riana! The revelation is coming. Keep your mind open.

The school's art teacher painted the bus magenta, in awareness of apocalypse victims. (LOL, she doesn't know it's Edgar and his family in the Wasteland, in the Edgarcy. NOT ABANDONED! We just gotta finish the Scheiler Uglacy before I have time to play it again. TigerAnne wants to play her other uglacy and the ISBI too.)

Virginia got sent home with her that day, because Dr. Montoya thought it would be good for her to go back to normality and take her mind off things for a while. Read the rest of the chapter to find out what her life at the hospital was like at the time!

The veggies were ripee! :D

Anyway! Virginia was happy to be "home" again.

Ohnoz, here come the chance cards. I'll just say the results. Ryan got promoted again. Jonathan became a brick layer. I hope he doesn't have to lay the bricks like a chicken does eggs, because ouch! D: Buck became a Pro party guest! :D AND T'ANA DID TOOOOOO! Now she was Plat 4ever, and could live the happy life she'd always wanted. :)

Bella, go away.

T'aba: Hi Ethel (not Fialka), I'm having a PermaPlat Party. Come and join us!

Ethal: Oh crap, and I only have this Maxis dress on! (That's like a Walmart brand where they live.) Congratulations!

You've probably forgotten all about Ethel, but she's one of the Time Travel team and works with Virginia's parents. She's got a husband called Oscar with big sideburns.

Michelle: It's really fascinating that didn't exist because it was still travelling in time! We can't even begin to imagine what else could turn up, or stop existing for a temporary period!

This kind of mysteries were intriguing to Mich, because she was a secret agent or something. She wasn't at liberty to tell, but she solved mysteries.

Virginia: I wonder what'll happen if we save Imogen in the past. We mustn't change history, so I guess she'll have to disappear too, and come here to live.

Aamiley: The sun will shine on our lives if we succeed.

It was a very beautiful and enchanted night, and no one wanted to go to bed.

Look at those humongo pumpkins! :D

Jonathan picked them for pie, before anyone could turn them into Jack o'Lanterns.

Apparently the Match Maker thought JOnanthan was shiver-ugly.

But he forgave her, beccause she gave them a new genie lamp and she was too old for him.

Allegra?: It's time you give up your beach-bumming and return to the darkness at the end of summer. You have powers even you don't suspect yet you have, and they can be a powerful force of goodness in the world.

Riana: Yeah, I don't get tan anymore anyway.

Allegra: That's how you know that your nightside has taken over. But the darkness is not evil in you. You're what allows the stars to shine.

Riana didn't know what the wolf was talking about, but she liked the sound of it.

The Magpie girls liked hanging out over at the beach house. Andrina and Bennett were kinda best friends now.

But more troubled teenaged souls were also seeking shelter in the home. There was Brody Branagan - who was Little Matty's brother and Vera's less favourite son, Isobel Crane - Virginia's very orinary and not really gifted sister, and Chaz Dimwit.

Bryan: I'm so happy I have a son who's just like I would have been, if I hadn't exploded when I was 17. Hooray it rhymed!

Virginia sat by the water and thought about what could have been, and what could be, if she could figure out how to find the medicines that would cure all of Imogen's diseases. Imogen had ten different ones, all possobly lethal, and no one was sure exactly which one killed her. Virginia would have to learn the symptoms of each one, so she could give Imogen the medication in the right order, if she was going to save her life.

Brody: We've got so much in common, you and me! No one knows what's wrong with your dad, or my brother. So we live with the sadness and worry, and parents that are often unavailable.

Virginia never cared much about what the outside of someone looked like, because she only saw personality and soul (Okay, so she didn't literally see souls with her eyes, but she saw them with her heart!) but now she couldn't help but notice how handsome and cute Brody was, with his brown puppy eyes, messy blond towhead and 40 Watt smile. It would be nice to get to know him better, and found out if the inside was just as beautiful.

The girls were being imps, because they had freaking murderous school projects to handle. Aamiley had her maths presentation, where she had to present a budget for starting a company that made wooden decorative cows. x( Yeah, the teacher assigned them topics. Andrina's was kind of even worse, because she had to write an essay comparing the portrayal of social isolation in the novels Decay, He Said Above the Sycamore and Hatchback Contemplations: The Cerebral Turmoil of a Legal Secretary. I mean, have you heard of any of those books? Yeah, neither had Andrina!

Virginia wasn't really in the mood to be punked. Not only did she have to figure out how to save her aunt, but she had to study for a test on all the kings who had killed each other in Britain between 1200 and 1650. Hint: It was A LOT.

But Iris had a happy surprise happening in her life!

Draco: Hi, Iris.

Irish: Hi, Draco! It's been a hot minute!

Draco: Yeah, I know. Auror training is tough, and I had to testify against my biological father at his mass murder trial. Do you have any idea how much it sucks to know your dad's killed like five hundred random people?

Iris: No, I'm so happy I don't! My dad went back in his time machine and stopped himself from becoming a serial killer. It wouldda happened because the soap opera he was in became real. And that happened because he went back in time and talked to his former self in the first place! So there weren't actually any murders, but a guy called Mike Newton became Diaper Man.

Draco: Dumbledore always says we mustn't see ourselves when we time travel.

Iris: We're re-interpreting the prophecies, because right now we're all just very confused about what's actually going on. We're getting weird phone calls, my parents have gone off to find my Mom's true face and help ressurect someone in the past, and our greatest enemy Edgar has started acting like a family dad and it's all so strange.

Draco: You can come over to Dumbledore's house if things get too much around here.

Iris: I would LOVE to!

Ryan: I'm taking a bath later, you're welcome to stay.

Adana: No Ryan, we gotta talk. This needs to stop.

Adana and Riana bonded over team work, like in the old days.

Chaz: When I grow up and get married, my life will be very peaceful and we'll all have great relationships.

Jonathan got promoted, BTW.

The new aesthetic in the house offended Salamandra.

Sally: Why do you have furniture all over the floor?!

But then suddenly Ginny appeared. She was stealing their gnome, because she'd always wanted one as a pet but her parents made her throw them out of the garden.

Jonathan brought Nernia home from work, and that other person is Ettie, who's a Magpie.

Aww, it's so good to see the twins together again! Nernia was married to Orca, and had stayed with him in the time-travelling house. That's where Ben lives too, in case you wondered where he was.

Junior was out on a nightly patrol for monsters. He wants to have a Bigfoot as his friend.

Jonathan got promoted again the next day, and now he's the boss of the construction company.

Riana stole the gnome back from Ginny. PS: putting it against a fence doesn't prevent stealingz.

Iris liked studying flowers and plants by moonlight, like the naturalists of old. (People whose great passion was nature, NOT people who are just allergic to clothes.)

Every family has some stories in their past that are funnier in hindsight.

This is Piper Dimwit. She hasn't been raised so strictly.

T'anamika and Buck were very happy. <3

T'ana released the fireflies someone catched, because she couldn't bare the thought of them dying in that jar. She looked so ethereal and mysterious in their bioluminecent glow. T'ana was very urban and edgy, but sometimes she felt like she belonged to a world beyond time, where faeries and arcane powers still reigned.

BTW, that's Ron. He was visiting from school, because he was taking Advanced Muggle Studies as an exchange student.

Andrina thought it was really cool to meet the famous kids her Mom had lived with at her age.

Noodle: HASHTAG SIDE-EYE.

Riana: "Children scared by skull-faced woman." I knew the 70s were a very supernatural era!

Aamiley had many friends at school, and compared to T'ana and Nernia her life had always been good and pretty normal. But now she was growing up, and she felt a sense of adventure.

Riana: Ohai, Harry! Yeah, half your family is over here! Hey, do you know of any creature that resembles a woman with a skull for a face?

Harry: No, I've never heard of that. Maybe it's a banshee, it's my best suggestion.

Hester also couldn't wait to grow up, and be free from the shackles of high school.

Andrina: The teacher freaking hated my essay. I don't think I should study literature, because I never realise any of the books we read are about what that teacher says they're about. Maybe I just can't interpret hidden meanings, and that would be bad, because I'm supposed to read and interpret the whole Book of Edgar that I found in a house which later fell into a dimentional rift.

Hester: Maybe I can help you. I'm a Troll, we have a lot of knowledge that's not mainstream.

Actually, Hester's not much troll at all, but she's dedicated to her cultural heritage.

This happened. I can't even imagine her conducting a symphony. Maybe she puts a disco spin on it?

And why was VERA BRANNAGAN sneaking around?

She ran away when she recognised Adana, for some reason. Yeah, I don't know. She's always so freaking WEIRD.

BTW, Aamiley has one nice-point. x) But she needs to be tough to lead the Starbloom family on new perilouse adventures.

Aamiley: I've got a plan to get rid of Jasper from the school. Can you keep a secret?

Iris: Oooooh, count me in!

Junior Wolfman is a cat person. :) In his canon timeline he's got a cat that's an alternate reality of Derpy, and a little dog called Seth. But you know that, because if you follow this blog the chance is 99% that you also follow SammyFrog. Hooray it rhymed! I'm a right poet today!

The cats had moved inside, because it was getting too cold to sleep on the back porch.

In the absence of Aylatani and Phil, Ryan tried to be a responsible head of the family. That would probably have worked a lot better if he had a responsible head on his own body, but at least he taught Andi some chess moves.

Also, Billy moved in. He was part of their future, so everyone agreed he belonged with them. Don't worry, he wasn't sharing a room with Aamiley or anything yet.

But Aami was VERY happy in her life! She's so different from T'anamika, but I love them the same amount!

Oh yeah, and Riana got a new job. I think it was in Adventure, because she felt like having something new to work towards.

Cindie: We're going to be a total ant hill here when your peeps come back, and Aamiley's going to have children.

Adana: Yeah, but Andrina wants to go and live with Tallie by the sea, because that Sean fella she used to date lives there. And maybe Riana and me are going to live with Alex and Ethan at Laurelin's place again.

Cindie: Oh no, please don't leave! You're my best friend, and you're so good at handling Ryan when he gets.... like him.

Poor Cindie and Adana, seriously. Cindie doesn't know about Ryan's feelings for Adana, and Adana is wrecked with guilt a lot.

BTW, Riana got promoted to "spelunker," whatever that is. It sounds like something from Fraggle Rock.

Andrina was collecting Best Friends for her aspiration. This is Beau Wolf/Duckman Junior's daughter, Grace. He has her with his wife Wolflady Jr, also sometimes called Sobbing Woman. Lela (Beau's wife) is actually very happy, she was just crying that one time because the music Riana played was unbearably beautiful.

So what I'm saying is that Grace is from a very happy and stable home, and she's the kind of friend the girls need. Even Adana.

Poor Iris, she's got so little pigment that even the October sun can burn her.

Ryan became an investigatory journalist. He had a plan. Now that he had power of investigating invested in him, he could pretend to be his brother Kevin, and go to the hospital pretending to be a conserned brother wanting to see his brother Ryan's medical records. Because Kevin hadn't managed to find out anything yet.

Grace is Wolflady the Third every night. :D

How do you almost miss your carpool to a job that's going to parties?

They came home in a very good mood! :O

Remember Ron was visiting? He'd told Andrina the tragic story of his pet rat who turned out to be not who he thought.

Andrina: I wonder who we know who's possibly someone else, and don't really exist.

Jonathan: Well, Bertha Hortence doesn't exist, does she? I mean, she was Aylatani all the time.

Aami and Andi had a sleepover in Aylatani's room, because when Aami soon became an adult she'd maybe feel too old for that. :( I wanna have a sleepover with MK'la, but she lives in Wisconsin.

Noodles found a bed that wasn't full of Moonshine.

Look how beautiful Aamiley is, in the golden glow of autumn! I'm gonna miss her being a teenager so much! Maybe she can move to Spain and be a Community ally!

Meanwhile, at the hospital, Doc Montoya was feeling social influence. :D

Virginia was still beautiful, in the soft light of the morning. <3 She had come a long way in learning all about the medicines used to cure all the illnesses that had killed Imogene. Now she was hopeful that maybe her mission was almost fulfilled.

No one had found anything wrong with Little Matty yet, so his mom refused to take him back until he had an official diagnosis. She cited incapability of caring for a child with unknown needs. In the mean time, everyone tried to make his life as good as possible.

Irene Montoya: We've been nominated to an award for most advanced hospital of the decade!

Nurse Eric Becker: Oh there you are, Phil Collins....!

I started writing this before I'd ever watched Dark Shadows, so I had no idea that the main characters had Collins as their surname. So Virginia calling herself Victoria Collins is just a coincidence, but I love it! Because the orginal main character of DS, who's called Victoria Winters, is secretly a Collins. It's never revealed in the show, but the creator said so and we can trust him.

Eric was making Phil in such a bad mood he didn't feel like being a good influence. ;( Pox on you, Eric!

Phil: Matty, I'm not your dad. You need to remember your own family, because you must believe that one day they'll take you home. And if you were my child then Eric would probably make your life miserable to get back at me.

Eric: HO DARE YOU SAY TO THE KIDS THAT I'M MAKING YOUR LIFE HARD? THAT IS SLANDER AND DEFAMATION! *SLAPPPP!*

Phil: *POFF!*

Matty: :C I'll..... just go to school now.

Virginia was still a 19th century girl in part of her heart, and she felt domestic duty call on her a lot. :-/ She should be focusing on going to high school, and get a better education.

Phil: Hmm.... I wonder why no one's thought of that?!?!

O_o What was it Phil had thought of? :O

Weird plants were replacing objects in the hospital. Was it the Mandela Effect?

Suddenly a brawl happened on the second floor landing. It couldn't be Eric and Phil, and it couldn't be Kevin and Hayden. That meant there were new enemies formed!

Oh no, it was Kevin versus Frank Riley! They had been friends. What had happened between them?!

Then everyone got the 1978 Flu! D: Phil and Jillian legged it to the carpool.

BTW, Kevin won. I've read a bit of TA's original story. It says that Frank is super skinny and not very big, so I'm not surprised. Kevin is like six-two and made of lean muscle.

Phil: Kevin, that was very unnecessary! Frank is not the enemy here. We need to focus on Eric. He's on to us. I mean, he's wrong about everything, but he's still ON to us for all the wrong reasons.

More people got the Flu. Here's a list of them, to remind you what their names are.

Eric needed an attitude adjustment like wow!

NO, REALLY?!

At least Aylatani was happy in her current marriage. :)

Phil: ....Kevin! Stop it.

Frank was sad, because he had no idea why Kevin suddenly hated him.

Phil was wondering what he could do about Eric that would make him less of a nuisance.

Irene ordered chess therapy for the boys. It was a new treatment that had shown positive results.

Aylatani had certain ideas before she went to work! :O

Eric: I hope the soda machine takes you, Phil! It sucks in five people every year!

Virginia continued her studies of disease and cure. She was currently researching medicine for typhoid.

Poor Matty, going to school was one of the high points in his life! Yeah, I mean, you meet your friends there. It can be nice sometimes.

Ugh, she'll have to call them soon. Ryan really oughtta understand that she can't call him when he's supposed to be living there with her, but that's Ryan for you.

Little Matty had visitors. :) It was his Uncle Parker and Aunt Rebecca? I suddenly can't remembner her name for certain.

They were a very passionate young couple, who were ready to start their own life with a family.

Kevin pees in the shower. This has been a TED talk.

Parker: The kids that hang around here seem very nice. I think Matty's better off being here than at home.

Rebecca?: Kevin seems very good with kids, I can see why Matt likes him.

(Bennett Magpie came over from school with Virginia. That's why you see her in the speech bubble.)

Kevin: Eric's not a positive influence in our lives. He beat up Matty's friends father right in front of him.

Rebecca: Try to keep him away from Matty as much as you can. If all goes well, Parker and me will be allowed to foster him. But we need to keep it on the down low, because his mother is insane. Sorry, Matty. You know it's true, though.

Parker: Matty's father, Herman Branigan, is my much older half brother. He doesn't really want more children, because the house will be cramped, but Vera's been nagging him about having another little girl. That's why she wants Matty to stay here, so she can get pregnant and have however many kids it takes to get a daughter. Then she'll probably find out the extra boys are sick somehow, and send them here or to institutions for special needs.

Kevin: That's freakin sick!

Parker: Yeh. And she hopes that maybe if Matty has some surgeries, Herman will be worried and want to have more children in case Matty dies. Or that he'll feel sorry for Vera and just let her have another pet girl.

Kevin: Has she thought of adopting??

Rebecca: Oh yeah! She's almost managed to kidnap several girls away from their families, because she thought she could give them a better home. But that still means that Matt needs to stay away.

Matty: I would love to live with you guys!

Parker: We just got married and are expecting our first child! It would be amazing if Matty and Heather could be part of their life!

Matty: Wow, a cousin? :D

Phil was thinking that Kevin needed to leave soon, because he was causing so much trouble. It was not exactly beneficial to Ryan's reputation as a sane and critically thinking journalist that he was supposed to be in hospital beating up their receptionist.

Poor Jefferson and Jillian Haynes. They got called out to another hospital, which had even less staff, in the middle of the night. They were so tired.

Eric too, but no one cares about Eric.

Irene: Yes, we need to hire some extra staff over here. We need a cleaner and someone to come and check for everything that's broken.

Yeah, I don't know why they didn't have a maid before. The toilets are always criminal.

Also, yazz for Aylatani! :D

Aaaaaaand, that's all for now! I'm working on documenting the next chapter of their strange and frightening journey into the past and future, and you can look for it in a week or so, I think? Anyway, TTFN and Narrator out!

The Starbloom Travecy - Generation 5.11! Hooray they're back! D:
