An eventful night

The boys went off to school, leaving Vidcund, Pascal and Aiyana at home. Vidcund, being worn out from teaching Tolnaer to study, went to sleep, while Aiyana and Pascal worked on their novels. After school, Aden, Dendyry and Tolnaer were seriously depleted of Fun, so they played around with the Pinball machines upstairs while poor Camus went to work at his glass-washing job. It wasn't all bad, though, because he got promoted almost right away, though you might not think a job as a test subject is much of a step up in the greater scheme of things...

Vidcund went to work after giving his son Tolnaer a hug, a kiss and a cheer for getting another A+ report card in school. When night fell, Pascal broke off writing to make a nice Turkey dinner for everyone, and everyone, Aiyana and Camus included, well appreciated it!

After dinner, Pascal went and stargazed for a while, and wasn't sure if he was relieved or disappointed that he missed seeing aliens again. He certainly was thinking about them as he gazed through the telescope. He didn't stargaze for long, though, and caught a quick nap before work. Aiyana, meanwhile, decided to see how her adoptive daughters were doing in college, and spent the night on the phone with both Chiala and Edward. Unfortunately, by the time she called Mydella, it was late, and Mydella was irate to be awoken from a sound sleep (if, indeed, that was really what she was doing...)

Vidcund came home and, seeing how the Turkey was attracting flies, cleaned up and made himself some Chili Con Carne for dinner. Back to bed for him, and the boys got up and did their homework in preparation for the next day at school.

In the morning, Pascal came home. All his hard work had paid off, and now he was a Criminal Mastermind, attaining Platinum Mood status for the rest of his life (however long that may last). His new lifetime aspiration is, like Vidcund's, to be a mad scientist. Camus made cereal for breakfast for everyone, and learned enough about cooking to be able to gain a skill point!
