Moonster family: Full Moon

[Year count 143]  Milton grew up earlier, and as the only child of Katherine & Detch Moonster, he is expected to marry and to take over the little house at 2 Moon Trail quite soon. So, how's he doing?

Before we check on the Moonsters, I wanna show you the new town Council. Right after the election there was a photo session in front of the Town Hall.

From left to right you see Count Junato Pettonta (City region), Tommy Spangler (horseman, Gal district), Mayor Erasmus Pearlton (residing at Plaza), Luc Silver (Soldier, Moon district), Jodriam von Salamand (Farmer, Farmland district), Conrad Rivers (business owner, Old Town region).

Although Camille Kragger already was on the Council for the past 10 years, as the first woman now replaced, it seems she was ahead of times...

The new Council is facing many interesting cases, new technology, a modern need of detailed stores, and of course there might be a few elderly residents complaining when the younger generation starts wearing shorter skirts. Not sure these men would mind a lot, but they need to deal with complaints, formally. :lol:

Okay, back to Moon district...

Milton and his dad, Detch Moonster, just had lunch. Milton did sign up as an Angler - following family tradition, but he still kept his old easel although not painting as often as before. Now that Chloe Seylouse no longer hangs out at Arts Academy, Milton go there only once every week.

Detch has asked Milton to join the secret MSW, replacing Detch as a member. In Moon district nearly all households are represented with one MSW member.

Milton needs to sleep on it, and he won't need to decide right away because he can only be accepted on a Full Moon meeting. It's too late signing up for tonight's full moon meeting, but next time...?

Detch will attend tonight's meeting, where a new member will be introduced.

Meanwhile Katherine Moonster, Milton's mom, tends the secret garden. This is where MSW's meetings take place. The building was erected here in memory of Esphella who was thrown into the deep well by the countship's soldiers long ago. Katherine never paid interest in MSW, but she helps with the lovely garden.

Katherine gets to keep some of the harvest, but will normally give the rest to Vespula Z. Silver, who is the current head of MSW.

Today Katherine noticed a highly pregnant woman leaving the Silver house, was it the flower farmer's wife? Vespula was upset that some women stopped by to get help with some unwanted pregnancy. She could help them if they took action as soon as they knew...

This said - Ursa Malone had covered her pregnancy very well up to now, wearing wide dresses (no idea why she had to wear a small dress for this visit...). More about her in the next update...

Milton got a new interest, news! Every day he walks to town to buy Galucca Post from Mr Sloth's kiosk. He reads every word, and he sort of admires those locals who put together all those news. He has no plans of becoming a Journalist, but he finds it terribly appealing!

So, he can now subscribe to Galucca Post? How smart! Paper delivery and all, WOW!

While Milton was there, Chloe appeared with her mother. Milton knew Mrs Seylouse would talk to Mr. Sloth for a while, and took the opportunity to chat with Chloe. But she was not interested, what happened?

Back home, Milton read the hot news carefully. Ahem... Milton, perhaps you should take a break...?

A fly blocking this flame-killing-machine? Careful there, Detch!

A little later the MSW meeting was up...

A blond woman rushing through the gate, heading for the little chapel. It's Gloria Moonster, Detch's cousin!

The group gathered around the very old table. Vespula brought her copy of "Black Journal of Magica" - a few spells would be needed for the upcoming ritual. The blond guy is another local, and you recognize Camille Kragger wearing a purple top.

After moving in at Seagull Cottage, Gloria had studied some of her late mom's old belongings, she even found a copy of the Journal. She really wants to join the community, even if it's just in the memory of her mom, Luphelia Moonster. Gloria was asked not to wear floral patterns at future meetings, but as a first timer she was excused for now.

The MSW is guarding some Unicorn remainders, kept near the old well. It gives them strength for performing spells, and the energy helps growing special remedies. They also keep Esphella's urn, right here in the chapel.

Then Vespula gave Gloria the black ribbon necklace, she is to keep it until another new member joins MSW. A necklace holding a special power...


Next update, the Malone house at Gal district!
