5.5 - Glaucus Ocean and the Unlucky Streak

Merlin becomes a teenager! He looks a lot like Glaucus, honestly. I'm surprised. He definitely has some of Becca's features. I'm bummed he didn't get the big, wide eyes though. He adds Active to Bookworm.

Also, I hate Blogger's new editor and its insistence on putting spaces after photos. It also keeps hyperlinking them. NO! Stop. UGH.

Merlin celebrates his first night as a teen by being a complete doofus and eating his dinner out by the pool. In the middle of winter. When it's just begun to snow.

Get your daffy ass back inside!

I forgot about Becca's birthday... oops. She still looks good, though.

Morgan is amused by my forgetfulness.

It wouldn't be a Generation Six update if Glaucus wasn't getting accosted by his family.

Sedna: 'You call that running? Slowpoke.'

Ianthe: 'Geeze, little bro, you're slacking!'

Glaucus: 'Can you both leave?'

Ianthe & Sedna: 'No.'

Of course, Glaucus can't really defend himself. He's a top tier finger-waggler and he can't even beat a neophyte!

Glaucus: 'She got lucky!'

Yeah, getting matched up with you.

Glaucus: '...sigh.'

After his horrible defeat, Glaucus disappeared from the lot. I found him at the nearby oceanside, grilling up a storm. 

Glaucus: 'Leave me alone.'

No can do. You're technically still the man in charge.

Glaucus: 'I'm a failure.'

Well, yeah, but you're our failure... now go back home.

Ianthe is over often (much to Glaucus' chagrin) chatting with Sedna. I'm pretty sure she's trying to understand how her mother managed to tap into immortality. 

Sedna: 'Lots of exercise... and being forced to deal with your brother.'

Glaucus, meanwhile, is commiserating with his best friend, Morgyn.

Glaucus: '...no one gets it. They all think it's just a joke.'

Morgyn: '...and this drink, did you make it or make it?'

Glaucus: 'Not you, too!'

Glaucus finally wins another duel, though that's not saying much, given the guy he went up against. Look at those sunglasses! It's clear he just couldn't see properly.

Glaucus: 'That hurts.'

Prove me wrong.

Becca could care less about his magical aptitude, which is lucky for Glaucus, I guess. Not so lucky for the hottub.

This is a relationship based solely on appearances, clearly.

Becca: 'Don't you have literally anywhere else to be?'

Yes. Thankfully.

Morgan ages up into a teen and I'm forced to realize just how strong Glaucus' genetics are. Wow. There's the barest hint of Becca there, but she's mostly her father. 

She wants to be a famous actress and adds Loves Outdoors to Bookworm.

I aged up Lucas Munch in the hopes that he could possibly be Morgan's companion... but he looks way too much like a certain, infamous youtuber (only blonde) and I nearly vomited in my own mouth. So, no thanks. Sorry, bud.

Even looking at this photo now, I'm skeeved out.

Lucas will still be around to be a friend, though. 

Lucas: 'Look, see? Your family isn't the only crazy one out there.'

Morgan: 'I'll bet their dad doesn't cast spells to get around the house, though.'

Lucas: '...yeah, but, don't you kinda wanna do that, too?'

Morgan: 'You're right. It's so nice!'

Meanwhile, Becca is in some random corner of the house, sneaking a hotdog.

Becca: 'Shhh, I don't want anyone to see me.'

And why is that?

Becca: 'Look at me. You think this happens overnight? No. And if I'm seen eating a hotdog, it'll hurt my reputation.'

Okay, *eyeroll*, whatever you say.

Glaucus and Sedna spend most of their free time in the fitness room. I keep checking Sedna through MCC and she's still got days left. I thought she was bugged at first.

Sedna: 'Good diet. Exercise. This idiot. That's all you need.'

Glaucus: 'Mom!'

He is cutting into my lifespan, not adding to it.

Morgan, meanwhile, practices her 'craft.' You've got a long way to go. Let's hope you didn't also inherit your dad's... luck.

Morgan: 'I don't know what you're talking about. I'm a master thespian!'

Sure. Okay.

It's new school project time! Unfortunately, everyone did horribly and only managed to get 'Good' rated projects. Lame. Which means they didn't get added to the collection.

Morgan begins practicing magic. There are some useful spells I wouldn't mind her having, especially if she's going to try her hand at being an actress while also having a family. 

Here's hoping she fares better than her father!
