Ryman Legacy 17A 6, 7 + 8
Um, I could probably put trigger warnings in for 8, but it's mostly only really talking about stuff pretty briefly, so you'd probably be okay ( Read more... )

Aww, Kirk & Nancy babies! <3 I'm glad at least Kirk seems quite eager about it. I hope Nancy will be, too. Lovely to have some light in the darkness!
Yikes. Tyra is outright terrifying. Now there are two of them... *shudders*
Tyra and Diana are both reasons why I'm increasingly worried about Dalton. And poor guy, he really doesn't have any good options. Diana is a lovely girl, but goodness, that father she comes with...
Speaking of the devil... Eek, eek and then more eek. So he heard about her lie. But why is he there? To scare her? I suppose mostly so.
Ow, so Hideki already knows about Dalton and Diana... Well on the plus side, he hasn't hurt them yet?
Ow ow ow, no, not Tia! ... thank goodness he didn't, for whatever reason or no reason at all. Poor, poor Tia. I'm glad Everett is a nice guy and will take care of her. Also, bless him for believing her.
I'm sad that Tia has to think about her thing with Everett in such, I don't know, practical terms. It looks like they'll be getting involved, so I hope there's going to be some genuine feeling to it. He's a nice guy, and he deserves genuine feeling. At the same time, I feel sad for Ben, but I have a feeling that he may not get a chance to come back.
Great update once again! ^^ I'm looking forward to the next bit already.
As for real life, I'm sorry to hear you've still been ill. I hope you get to feel better soon, and get to enjoy the trip too hopefully. Hang in there! *hugs*

Nancy is up for having the kid, but she's also very realistic and probably wasn't going to have it if Kirk didn't want to, in the same way that if Nancy hadn't wanted it Kirk wouldn't have tried to force her. They're a pretty good team ^.^
Tyra Tang's a mean family sim whose mother was murdered and all she knows is her dad says one of the ('Ryman') prisoners did it. You don't want to be one of those around her >.<
Diana also lucked out on the genetics, she's so unexpectedly pretty ^.^
Lol, well, on a meta level you kind of have to know Tia won't die (yet) given that she's the heiress and she has no kids yet, but nobody wants to meet Hideki in that situation. Fortunately Hideki's not overly possessive of his daughters or Dalton might be in more trouble.
As for Hideki... he's fundamentally not actually happy. He's bored, he's frustrated, he's angry, on a certain level he's sickened by what he does and he can't get to the aliens, can't even get a response from them. He's basically like a teenager acting out to get their neglectful parents' attention and failing massively. He doesn't know what he wants if he can't get to the aliens, his main consolation is a certain Elliot Harris he has restrained back home... Though I'm not showing that because I wouldn't know how to possibly stage it and also because it's even more horrific.
Agreed about Everett deserving genuine feelings, but I won't go into more yet ^.~
Thank you! <3 *.*

Glad to hear that, it's nice that there are some nice things happening too. :)
Oh dear. I definitely don't want to be around Tyra, that's for sure. I wonder if Hideki's lie is going to bite him in the butt some day... I sure hope so!
Yeah, Diana is unexpected on the whole, both her prettiness and niceness. *nods*
Oooh. I think I must have misremembered, I somehow thought that Dalton was the heir this generation. Dunno where that came from. So on the plus side, less worry for Tia's safety, but on the minus side, more worry for Dalton's? Well, at least possessiveness won't cause problems, but somehow I fear that Dalton and Diana are in danger anyway...
Wow, Hideki really is some teenager. A really, really messed up teenager. I sort of feel like I should feel sorry for him, but I think he's beyond my sympathy at this point. I have to agree about not showing what happens to Elliot; at least personally that would probably be too horrific. Reading about it was sad and terrifying enough. Poor, poor Elliot. :(
Looking forward to seeing more about Everett, then. :)

On the one hand Tyra and Diana (and their sisters) are a genetic crux including that of Seth, Rodney and Hideki, but on the other hand Liv was their grandma and she had 10 nice points, so X)
Dalton's been a bigger centre-focus, but I think I didn't want another male heir in a row and somebody was being picky about heirs marrying NPCs/townies, so Dalton/Diana wouldn't have been possible. Also Dalton's Pleasure and we've already had a Pleasure heir, so.
The situation with the aliens is pretty messed up and wrong and it created Hideki's situation in more ways than one, but Hideki's an adult who didn't have to make these choices so I don't think it's an issue to hate him (if you want to)
Yeah, if I can summon the motivation and energy to press on with more updates. I don't know if it's because I'm ill and depressed right now, but the next bit was a real struggle to push myself through :/

Weeeell... I'm not sure if I'd say I hate Hideki either, so when I think about it, maybe I do have a little bit of sympathy for him after all. If he hadn't done what he has been doing and is still doing, I'd definitely be sorry for him. It's weird, I'm horrified of him, and I can't gather (much) sympathy for him because of what he's done, but I'm not sure if I hate him either.
I was just today procrastinating by browsing your old drabbles and found all those comments where people were wanting to feed Rodney to crocodiles (and in some cases, water moccasins). They still made me laugh, and made me think about how much things have changed. I maybe wasn't the among the most vengeful even then, but it's a big change that these days I mostly want to hug Rodney, with all the side fics and all. And even though Hideki is a much bigger villain, I'm still not sure if I'd feed *him* to crocodiles. On the one hand, quite tempting, on the other hand... I want him dead, because that's the only surefire way of stopping him, permanently, but... maybe I still feel a little bit sorry for him. I may have gone soft with old age or something?
(Reading the old Sethney fics made me feel like I should probably have a look at that apocalypse some time. If only so that I could play/write those two myself. <3 Too many projects, too little time!)
I'm sorry to hear you've been feeling ill and depressed. *hugs* I hope you get to feel better soon. No panic with the updates, I will be enjoying them when you can muster the energy. And also, getting the next one done even while ill and depressed is an even more impressing accomplishment. So there's hopefully at least one thing to be feeling good about.
*more hugs*

Elliot would feed Hideki to crocodiles, but most other people just want him dead and gone. Also, pffffft, old age?! You're not old XD
Somebody needs to get those two married :P
Well all of the tests (except one which is only vaguely indicative) keep coming back normal, so they can't freaking diagnose me, so everything stays a bit up in the air, and my anti-nausea meds meant I had to stop taking my anti-depressants... Basically everything's a bit screwed up and everyone should have pity on my boyfriend putting up with all this X)
*huggles*

I very much second the motion for getting Seth & Rodney married! *puppy eyes* (It would be quite tempting to do it myself, actually, but at the rate my stories are going, it'd to be ages before I could get to anything resembling a suitable spot...)
Ouch, that's not nice with the health issues. :( I hope it soon takes a positive turn. Lots of sympathy and positive vibes for both you and the boyfriend! *hugs*
