January continues with more fish and bait

New chapter Chapter 18.2 - January 2024: part II – The graveyard, mystical stones and voices of the past (and present). posted. This chapter overlaps in time with Chapter 6.1 - January 2024 - The nerd, the loser and thank you for the fish... (Lake Onebega/University) and continues off right after Oliver Freddy and Inge left for university.

Quick Summary:

 

As usual Ranveig stands outside for a while to wait as she watches them drive off into the distance...

The next thing on her mind is to catch a death fish, so she heads up to the grave yard, because she has heard rumours that they may be swimming around in the pond there..

Her brother Knut is also seen visiting the grave yard with his sons Anton and Bjørn-Yngve. Knut is as expected pretty terrified of the grave yard.. there are voices... but his sons are not. Anton points his father to a strange rock that has created a crater in a corner of the graveyard and wants to take it home, but his father is reluctant..



Bjørn-Yngve meets a new teenager that has just moved into town, Sonja Bjørnøy. Sonja begins to flirt with him, and he eventually catches on to it, but at the end of the night as far as I can tell they both end up rejecting each other.

Robert goes to the bookstore to buy the last of the books in logic and goes to the park to read it. When it starts raining he heads inside to the library and continues reading alongside another teenager (and Oliver Freddys cousin) Kleopatra Motorsen-Karlsen, as well as local police man Ethan Bunch.

Ranveig has to leave for the night without getting the death fish she wanted, but she did catch a frog and a kissing gouramis whom she put in a fish bowl and named Mari-Ann just because she thought it was cute to cute to be used as bait. :P

Robert gets his sleep interrupted by a phone call from Kristina Reppe (Inges sister) asking him to go to the school ball with him, which is inappropriate since both of them are already in a relationship, so of course he turns her down...

The chapters so far.

Working hard to keep this place up to date, and the last chapter posted at the Sprottenham branch had a pretty useful picture at the end, so I'll take the opportunity to show that picture here and make an overview/timeline of what has been posted so far.

Started updating the blog again

 Hello, hi there, long time, no see.

I had ambitions... but due to.. circumstances. Work, life, laziness, things like that the blog went idle for 5 months or so.

However, just yesterday I posted the first 'real' chapter to the Sunset Valley branch of the story line:

Chapter 1.1: Springtime of never-never land.

 

It's another chapter about Ranveig, but it also introduces her two sons, Robert Bråge and Oliver Freddy, for the first time.

Today I posted the second chapter Chapter 1.2 - The plan that failed where Ranveig goes to hang out at the bowling alley and meet her friend Sofie to reminisce about the old days...

 

Hope you find the reads interesting. ;)

 Until next time, in hopefully not to long of a time. ;)

The United Kingdom of Simbria

 Hello and welcome to The United Kingdom of Simbria!

I hope you've had a pleasant journey coming here! You have now arrived at what is to be the central hub station! From here you should find bus routes that will take you to the various towns of the country. 

However, as it is currently a bit of a construction site, there is only one route in traffic for the time being. For the time being do feel free to hop onboard the Simbria Express route 1 that will take you to Sunset Valley! A small, but cozy town on the countrys southwestern coast.

The first sim (as the inhabitants of Simbria are called) you will meet there is Ranveig Motorsen, a journalist at the Sunset Valley Gazette and national chess champion.

A single mother of two, she lives in Mosquite Cove with her two sons, Oliver Freddy and Robert Bråge. A bit of a hopeless romantic, she always wanted to find the love of her life, but alas it never quited worked out... her life has been a bit of an uphill battle in many ways, but she never quite gave up hope nonetheless...
