1.17 Set In Stone

When Monet and Faust return from their very brief vacation, the oldest son – Cadmus – has grown into a child, while his younger brother, Esau, grows into a toddler. Cadmus now has the traits Genius, Good, and Technophobe.

With that, Monet gets a wish to send Cadmus to Fort Starch Military School, the same school she graduated from. He’s off within a few Sim days, but not without a hug from his mother.

Faust disappeared for a while after this and when he came back, he returned with Carmen’s birth stone. Five children means that five birth stones now decorate the house, but right now, his main goal to to replace the heart-shaped rainbow gem he gave to his wife. In the confusion of the transfering of save files, I forgot to put that into the family inventory and it’s lost forever.

Ruby | Cadmus – which I discussed in an earlier chapter.

Tanzanite | Robin – A non-traditional birth stone for December, it’s associated with calmness and serenity, as well as honesty. Occasionally it’s called the “workaholic” stone because it relieves stress.

(Again, from left to right)

Opal | ??? – Aah – this is actually a spoiler. I guess I forgot to take a picture without the opal there. Just pretend it doesn’t exist for the time being, yes?

Vampire’s Eye | Carmen – Now why did Faust give his daughter a vampire’s eye? Obviously this one doesn’t exist in real life. It’s meaning is quite clear, though, and perhaps ironic.

Fluorite | Esau – Fluorite absorbs negative vibrations, increases concentration, and makes people more decisive. No associated month that I can see, but I’ll have to research further on this subject.

Yellow Sapphire | Eldridge – Yellow sapphires promote righteousness and honesty. It’s also good for business. I guess because it’s bloody expensive.
