2.8 – Death Visits the Diabolicals for the First Time

5th update! Two more for silver and halfway to gold!

Last time, Mad Fireball was born, Rosie got promoted, but was also turned down for a date with Isaiah, and Macavity finally killed Lynx. *checks notes* Yep, that’s about right.

Let’s begin, shall we?

Someone’s rather chipper today.

Max: Ah, yes, it is a fine day to ruin family-owned businesses!

>.<

Hans is actually being productive today! Good man!

Hans: The burn! I feel it!

He’s not the only one, though. Lili’s gotta burn off that baby gat if she’s to be a proper Emperor of Evil!

Yes, very good! Almost there! However, as you’ll, see she’ll be slowed down a bit later on.

If you are of the rare breed of astute readers, you may have noticed that Moriarty hasn’t much appeared as of late.

That’s because he’s my slave!

We’ve discovered that Mori doesn’t burn out in the sun like Kitty did way back when. And he got an opportunity to collect gems and metals for the science center. So guess what he’s doing?

Mori: I hate my life.

Yes, yes, shh and be off to the next diamond.

What?! Welp, the house did cost a pretty penny…

Oh no you don’t!

Don’t you dare!

You little effer! That table’s been here longer than Lili has! 😡

Look at his smug little grin! *gnashes teeth* Max promptly disables the maid service.

What?! NO! Kitty! WHY?! T_T

She was at the park and, I swear to any deity you want, there was no one around. But her Faithful moodlet is gone! Minion doesn’t understand! T_T

Just in time to cheer me up, Lili pops with her and Hans’ second baby. Yeah, they rolled the wish as soon as Mad Fireball came home. So I let them.

Lili then tends to the child she already has.

Lili: Aren’t you cute!

Lili: It’s crying again! Why is it crying?!

Check her diaper! No?! Nope. She’s just screaming to scream. *sighs* Mad Fireball just does occasionally: scream her head off for no apparent reason! I hate babies.

Speaking of babies, both Lili and Hans want another girl, so Kitty is sent out at some point to obtain more watermelons.

In other news, right before baby popping, Lili did manage to max out her Athletics skill! Woo!

You may be asking yourself, why did Fluffy take this? Because that fly is incredibly detailed. Seriously, it’s creepy.

And also this. Cute Dinah is cute! ^_^

And while we’re on the subject of cats, here is Macavity hoping Rosie drops something while she’s cooking. Or making her drop something with his mind powers. Whichever.

When Max arrives home, he is immediately surrounded by all his cats, waiting to greet him. Total # of Cats in the room: 6.

What’s with all these randomly strung together pictures? You, dear reader, may think I’m stalling. You would be correct. But nothing can stall the inevitable.
