Everet Malone doesn't talk about it, he actually talks about the weather and such instead. When the newspaper is delivered, he might refer the news or the results from Bross Stadium. There are many political changes these days, but he is not interested in the politics, as much as he need the news to cover up the loss of Ursa.
Syrup and Timara had a son, Gilbert, and Timara is pregnant again. She prefer wearing her swimming suit while cooking, but nobody ever accused her for sanity. Everet is more concerned for the sharp knives, the hot stove and the little baby in there...
Timara has of course influenced on most daily matters. She redecorated the dining room with modern wallpapers and new chairs, and she replaced the flower vase with her old after school trophy and the crown she won at prom night.
Gilbert is a cute boy, he loves to play with the flies that occurs when mummy leaves him in the high chair for too long. It's certainly one of the crazy games mummy comes up with.
In the kitchen there is an old photo of Everet and Ursa, taken back when the house was expanded. Ursa had been abroad to assist her sister while Everet and the boys fixed this house. Those were the days...
She even talked Syrup into taking a break from the Flower Market, they hired an assistant instead. Syrup works in the greenhouse everyday, but Timara never helps there. Not that she could have helped much these days anyway. She is in good form, but pretends to sit or walk, not to work in greenhouses.
Today Timara suggested that they went for a walk to the Anglers' Club. It's a rather new location between the beaches and the harbour were Anglers had their resting huts for at least a generation. Now there is an outdoors serving and some games for kids, and many locals go there to admire the sunset.
Syrup would like to invite his brother and his family to join them, they live in the yellow house back there. And you see the red Malone house in the distance. But no, Timara insisted on walking.
Today's overview picture shows how far they need to walk :-). Anyway, it's now confirmed that a stroller moves faster than a pregnant woman.
Btw: You see a blue building out there on the Ucca Island. That's where one of the noble daughters at the Pettonta Castle moved when she married Admiral Thurmington - very long ago. They moved into town, and nobody lived out there ever since. There is a subway station on the island, but the tunnel is filled with seawater. The Council is currently debating to make use of the island, for leisure or science, but they can't decide, it seems.
When they finally reached the Anglers' Club, the sunset had nearly passed. The place is meant for visits during daylight hours, so there is hardly any outdoor lamps. They found a table and Syrup bought them something to drink. He obviously forgot that pregnant women rarely drink beer, and also Timara forgot that it was not quite appropriate.
She noticed Mr Sloth, with his family. He runs the Kiosk at Plaza. Timara heard that the father to their neighbour Mr Peter Huston, was reported missing. He rented a room at a bed & breakfast up in Moon District, and now the old man was nowhere to be found. Peter Huston works with politics and represents Gal District on the Town Council, so he should know what buttons to push to solve the case, if there was any.
Timara and Syrup don't know them, but you might also recognize Milton Moonster's wife and son (Milton was supposed to be there too but ran off just before we arrived). Oh, and elderly Gloria Moonster is also back there, hard to see...
Then, suddenly Timara got up! Walking this far had started the birth!
Oh... kinda wrong place and time, and now everyone would notice the beer on the table... and - push, push... under the umbrellas Timara was giving birth while the other guests flocked to watch!
Jaja, I know she would probably stand there forever unless she was sent home or to the Constant Hope Hospital. Getting help from her colleges (she works at the hospital) was out of the question, so they took a taxi back home. Still, let's pretend Umbrella Malone was born at Anglers' Club, under those umbrellas... :) (ok, maybe they were parasols, but that would have made for an even sillier name :-) )
Her little brother Gilbert looked a bit scared at the new family member, ha!
Closing off this update with waters in the dark. I'm hoping to add boats and boats and boats pretty soonish (Island Paradiso), I think it will be a great match with the coastal area of Galucca :)
Next update: the angry Misty Fogdale of the Dump!
