1.6 Do you think I'm crazy?

Previously on It's a Wonder-full Life: Diana visited the pool and then tried to throw a party. Zombies popped up, but Diana met another werewolf so the party wasn't a total disaster.


Diana sold some of her meteor bits to afford a little new furniture. She's been wanting a stove, but I don't think that we need anymore fire on the lot for awhile.

Screenshot

Diana decided to make a nice salad for lunch instead of eating icky brains. I think that's progress!

Screenshot-2

And she really enjoyed eating a meal at a table again, instead of sitting on the couch. She didn't even have any arguments with the suls!

Screenshot-3

Off to work. The physic rabbit hole is really cute.

Screenshot-5

After work, more socializing! Diana went to the park, where she had a nice picnic with the Younan sisters. They seemed friendly enough, but Diana was interrupted by a phone call from Frank! He asked her out on a date!

Screenshot-7

Since they were going out to a club, she decided swimwear was a good option. When she got there, she yelled to Frank to come see her! She does this every time she wants someone to pay attention to her.

Screenshot-8

Frank is still attracted to her, which is good. If only we could get a good look at him!

Screenshot-10

Seriously, he's always in the dark with his big hat in front of his face! But, apparently, he's a good story teller and Diana ignored everything and everyone to listen to him.

Screenshot-16

Ahhh... there we go! Frank's cute!

Screenshot-18

Hey, Diana, did you know that Frank's a werewolf?

Screenshot-20

Why, yes, she did know that. Luckily, Diana apparently has a thing for werewolves!

Screenshot-22

Yeah, Diana definitely likes werewolves.

Screenshot-23

In fact, she got so comfortable with Frank that she decided to unleash the crazy.

Uh, Diana? It might be a little early in the relationship to do that...

Screenshot-24

Judging by the look on Frank's face, he agrees! This can't be good.

Screenshot-25

Sure enough, he rejected all of her interactions from that point on. The date had been going very well, but the crazy caused several person-minuses to happen.

I made Diana apologize to him, but it was too late. The date was over!

Screenshot-28

Diana went home and blamed the suls for the whole thing.

1.5 Full Moon Zombie Party!

Previously on It's a Wonder-full Life: Diana got social! She met some humans, a werewolf, and a vampire. She has attraction with both of the supernaturals. She also cleaned up her "home" and had her first day of work.

Being a horoscope reader is stressful, apparently, so Diana decided to relax with a good book when she got home.

Screenshot-54

In the middle of the night, random stray dog came to snuggle. It's pretty cute. Diana should probably make friends with stray dog, if they're going to be sleeping together.

Screenshot-56

Brain Freeze for breakfast? Ewwww!

Screenshot-57

Diana also doesn't work on Thursdays, so she has the whole day to entertain herself. First, she finished the book she started.

Screenshot-58

Then, Diana thought she might like to visit the pool. It's just down the block, so that sounds like  a fine idea!

Screenshot-59

Once she got there, though, Diana just sat in one of the deck chairs and looked cranky.

Screenshot-61

Part of that might have been the presence of Jane Doe. Jane and Diana do not get along, though Jane seems perfectly happy here. Also, perfectly normal... this will be important later.

Screenshot-62

Diana raided a couple of vegetable plants on her way back home. Tomatoes and garlic... I wonder if that will affect her relationship with vampire Stan?

Screenshot-63

Speaking of relationships. Diana wanted to get to know Earl and Stan better, so she threw a party. It was a "formal wear" event so she wore her bikini.

Screenshot-64

It was a full moon, so Earl did not show up (I guess?). Stan brought snacks, though! Unfortunately, the garbage can was in his way so he had to leave the plate on the sidewalk.

Screenshot-65

The pizza guy showed up at the same time as zombie Tawana. I think Tawana works with Diana. She was invited because Diana wants to be friends with her. I'm thinking it might not go well on this particular evening.

Screenshot-66

Besides zombie Tawana, there was random zombie woman and also zombie Jane Doe! She looked so normal this afternoon...

Screenshot-67

Diana really wanted to talk to Stan, but zombie Tawana kept interrupting her and canceling the interaction! The pizza box has made it as far as the middle of the yard by this point, but that was another thing that kept getting interrupted by zombies.

Screenshot-68

Speaking of zombies...

Screenshot-70

Here comes another one! That puts us at 4 zombie guests at the party... the odds are not good for the rest of the guests.

Screenshot-71

(Side note, it was about here that one of my kids needed a snack. I thought that I had paused my game, but when I came back I found that I had not. There were only 3 guests left... two zombies and a cowboy? For all I know, there was a zombie massacre while I was gone and everyone else is dead!)

Screenshot-72

I don't have a good picture of him and he was a party crasher, but the man in the cowboy hat is Frank Renaldo and he's apparently a werewolf. That explains Diana's attraction to him. Meanwhile, another zombie pops out of the ground! Is this a party thing or a full moon thing, because it's hard to have a successful gathering when the guests are getting attacked...

Screenshot-73

Diana decided to call it a night and snuggled up with random stray cat. Meanwhile, the zombies roamed the lot.

Screenshot-74

Ghost-Diana!

Screenshot-76

Ghost-Jane Doe and zombie man seemed to hit it off. Weird.

Screenshot-78

The Dianas finally come face to face. Ghost-Diana seems to think she's the much better version.

Screenshot-79

After Diana goes back to sleep, ghost-Diana heads off to argue with the mailbox.

Screenshot-83

It's nice to know that some things stay the same, even in death.

1.4 Library flash mob

Previously on It's a Wonder-full Life, the world ended again. Diana managed to avoid  being killed by the meteor but it took out almost all of her furniture.

Do you suppose she's a meteor magnet? Or is she just super unlucky?

At least she finally got a good night's sleep!

Screenshot

Since she apparently doesn't work on Tuesdays, Diana spent the day cleaning up. Surprisingly, she did it without complaint and without just wandering off! Two meteor strikes netted us 160 piles of scrap, 9 tiny space rocks, 9 large space rocks, and 2 gigantic space rocks! Some of that is sure to come in handy eventually, but she might appreciate selling some of it to bring in some money to rebuild, too...

Screenshot-3

We also built a little area for the graves from the first two meteor strikes.

Screenshot-5

Then Diana spent some time talking with the suls about not throwing meteors at her anymore.

Screenshot-7

I'm not sure who won the discussion.

Screenshot-10

But Diana certainly made a strong argument!

Screenshot-12

She would like to be a mystic. She'll have to wait until tomorrow to go to work, though.

Screenshot-17

In the meantime, it was time to be social! Let's go out for dinner! Which requires athletic wear, of course.

Screenshot-18

The bistro was empty, so Diana headed to the library. She'd heard that it was a known hangout for supernaturals and she really wanted to meet one.

Weirdly, much of the town was standing in rows outside the library! (It was almost like The Truman Show where everyone stands around waiting for the main character to show up.) And we thought Diana was crazy!

Screenshot-20

Having fulfilled the requirements of their apparent flash mob, the denizens of Moonlight Falls headed into the library. They created a traffic jam large enough that it took Diana over an hour just to make it into the building.

Screenshot-22

But look! If Diana stands near another fairy, it almost looks like she has wings!

Screenshot-24

Alas, the pretty wings are not hers. (Side note: I switched to Twallan's decensor. Diana has wings in CAS, but not in "life". And other fairies obviously have them. I don't know.)

Screenshot-25

In her quest to meet new people, Diana introduced herself to Ivy Pappas.

Screenshot-26

Then she flirted with her and Ivy was not impressed. Is this a fairy thing? Diana flirts with everyone she meets!

Screenshot-28

One of the library patrons had an accident right there in the library! The bathrooms are just behind that bookcase on the left there... he really should have been able to make it since he wasn't doing anything else.

Screenshot-30

Diana was so shocked at witnessing such a display that she promptly walked over to the corner of the room and fainted dead away!

Screenshot-33

We're not counting this as "passing out" since it was related to the drama and not exhaustion. However, if this is going to be how she reacts every time someone pees on the floor, she's in the wrong kind of legacy!

Screenshot-37

There now, all better.

Screenshot-38

Once Diana was alert again, she finally managed to meet a supernatural. Here she is talking to Earl Gomez, a werewolf. She liked him quite a lot. But then she decided that she wanted to meet a vampire.

Screenshot-42

So here's Stan Bahl. He acted like he didn't want to talk to her, but really he did.

Screenshot-46

It's like her own little Twilight saga! Team Earl! Team Stan!

Screenshot-49

Later, Diana went home to discover that the ghost of Jane had popped up to check out her new digs.

Screenshot-50

The next afternoon, it was finally time to go to work. Diana got up and lost an argument with her fist first.

Screenshot-52

Then it was off to work!
