@Rorys_Tamas - Good job on getting Godzilla! I hope we get to see a picture of your evil dinosaur soon.
@Darkmagic616 - That's sad about Summer, but I'm sure she'll have interesting stories to tell the others in Tama Heaven.
Well, it has been quite awhile and rather than delay anymore, I’m going to post what I have already written down. Another thing to note is, like my other logs, I will be writing the date in French (for practice). Rest assured it will be quite easy to recognize the month and there will always be the number to anchor it. Also, I’ll put in an approximate pronunciation for perhaps the first week and a translation.
==Mercredi le premier novembre==
[Mercredi (mair-cruh-dee) means “Wednesday”, le premier (luh pruh-mee-ay) means “the first”, and novembre (noh-vawm-bruh) means “November”.]
I got up way too early this morning since for a person who normally comes out of sleep mode around 9-9:30, 6 a.m. is waaay too early. Also didn’t help that it was so not worth getting up that early for whatever I had intended. I unintentionally fell asleep on the couch and only bolted up to check on Hallow, who I think was at half meters. Shortly before 10, he got sick and I cured him with two fairy dances (what replaces the medicine function, for those unfamiliar with this version). I’ve always found that animation very cute especially by how small the fairies are. I forgot if this occurrence so soon was normal because I didn’t take notes when I ran my Mothra the first time.
At 11:58, Hallow attacked a tower. I took him upstairs to show my brother and also disciplined him in my brother’s presence, summarizing it as “I told him to stop it”. He laughed at that. Hallow now had three bars in his justice meter which I thought was 25%. So far I had filled Hallow’s meters when they dropped 1 or 2. I had a theory I just needed to get full discipline and no care mistakes to get Mothra and then Godzilla. I thought Godzilla evolved from Mothra but I wasn’t going to check lest I see the other sprites.
Shortly before lunch, Hallow attacked another tower. I discipline him taking his justice meter up to 7 bars, or 50%. Around 6-ish, I took Hallow and my Hanerutchi Sotilde (who is logged in the Long Live Oldies Hatch IV) on a walk with my father. It had been drizzeling a bit before so I put on my long hooded coat. I was originally going to carry my tamas in my pants pockets but since I would have to lift my coat to check on them, I put them in my coat pockets instead. A knitted mitten was placed over top of each and as we crossed the street, I anxiously checked that they were still there, fearing they had fallen out or been swallowed by a broken seam. My tamas were still there but I did check them a few times as we walked.
I detailed the conversation that followed but I feel like I will post the whole recount in Sotilde’s log which is prone to a bit more lengthy anecdotes. It probably suits her better, her being a senior and all. But I’ll write a short summary. The conversation spiralled into work-life balance after I mentioned my mother, hobbies that are used as a stress relievers so that people can keep their grip on life, and my father’s anecdotes about how his old warehouse job could be quite relaxing such as when he was practically baking cookies (albeit non-edible). Mid-way through our walk, I head some muffled beeps and pulled out Hallow to discover he was destroying a tower. I disciplined my evil, angry worm and took his justice meter up to 75%.
At home, I took out my tamas and found their screens were a bit foggy, but they weren’t cold. Hallow, along with Sotilde, attended me at dinner where we watched a black and white movie called “The Man With My Face”. It was a bit comic bookish - if that title didn’t spell it out clearly enough – but not too bad. Hallow conked out around 9 and probably didn’t see all of “The Man With My Face”.
==Jeudi le 2 novembre==
[Jeudi (juh-dee) means “Thursday” and the rest should be quite clear by now. I’m pretty sure you English-speakers are aware that French uses articles with every noun and that “le” is the male definite article, equivalent to our neuter “the”.]
In the morning, My tamas an I were at my bedroom desk for a change of scenery. The window was open, the sky was overcast, and it was raining, but still quite bright. Hallow roomed briefly with Sotilde in her altoid tin stand before being swapped to my deluxe tama stand (“deluxe” because it is built for six Dream Towns, and thus is quite spacious). After Sotilde’s companion fell asleep, Hallow returned to her but was later swapped out for another tama. After that one fell asleep, Hallow moved in again and shortly after, at 6:06, he got sick. I knew he was going to change soon and since he was at 75% discipline, I guessed I missed a tower attack.
Though I usually go for a walk in the evening and bring my tamas, we stayed in that night. I wanted to finish analyzing metamorphic rock samples, which I did around my tamas downstairs. Hallow and Sotilde attended my at dinner and we watched a promising sea movie (a black and white film, of course). Hallow – who I have repeatedly wanted to call Mawtee – went to the bathroom 10 minutes before his bedtime. I cleaned him up and he later feel asleep as a pile on the floor. I thankfully got a snap of him and his justice meter soon after I migrated downstairs for geology.
==Vendredi le 3 novembre==
[Vendredi (vanw-druh-dee) means “Friday”]
In the morning, I was awaiting my father coming back from dropping off my brother to take my to Toysrus, in hopes of finding a Tamagotchi Mini. I heard my father come back so I paused all except Hallow and Sotilde and put them in my pockets. We had a brief detour to drop of my brother’s calculator and water bottle for his exam, then we were on the road! My brain immediately recognized we were taking a different route and not avoiding the store, thankfully. I had clutched Hallow a couple times to make sure he didn’t fall out.
I walked into the store with a bit of anticipation. I resisted the urge to smile like a fool, faring much better than the time I accidentally bestowed the most exuberant smile on a delivery man. We scoured the store, all of those wonderful toys becoming insignificant to our target. I did get a bit distracted by the dolls isle, especially the Shibajuku Girls. Eventually my father asked an employee, I hanging back perhaps unexplainably a bit embarrassed. My father remarked the employee seemed quite insistent they’d be available Sunday. We left and chatted a bit about it one the way home, my father feeling the stores were under contract to not sell them till a certain day. He also remarked those stores that sold them ahead of release date might get sued.
Arriving home, I knew it would be a short 2-day wait and I would have to distract myself as I couldn’t do anything about it. Hallow returned with Sotilde to the stand.
At 1:04, just as I was playing a game with Hallow, he evolved into the good care teen. His justice meter had dropped to halfway so with two time out he would be at full discipline. He currently had no care mistakes and I was crossing my finger that he’d become what I hoped. I was having bad luck with the game so I fed him a snack and then won the next game, filling his happiness meter.
Hallow decided to attack a tower during lunch and beeped loudly. Lunch is also when my brother, father, and I watch a lecture so it wasn’t a minor thing. I disciplined Hallow, bumping him up to 75% justice. Fearing a lecture about Tamagotchis and sound, I discreetly muted Hallow. That involved putting him under my leg and forcing him into the couch to muffle the noise. Later, he attacked another tower and I “yelled” at him, filling his justice meter. In retrospect I wonder how one is supposed to train their gigantic killer mother grub to not attack buildings and how they would stand all the civilian outrage about their pet. It is nevertheless comical seeing a giant angry worm attack a building.
I speculated that all that lay ahead for Hallow was excellent care and evolution into Mothra. I thought this version couldn’t be any stricter than a P2.
In the late evening, I took Hallow and Sotilde walking with my brother and father. I yapped about the Tamagotchi mini during our brisk walk, brisk because those two walk fast. I voiced one of my opinions that perhaps Bandai was milking this release for all it was worth by the inflated price of the minis and how truncated they were, more or less scalping the market. My father, who must have laughed at that, then mentioned how it was similar to G.I. Joe figures where, back in his childhood, he met a kid who had these huuge ones that made the six inch reboot seem pathetic. Dinner was unremarkable and Hallow likely winked out during it, meters well-filled.

Hopefully I’ll be able to recap the 4-15 soon. Hallow is still alive but I think he’s going to be approaching his needy stage soon. Suffice to say, he did not evolve into Godzilla because Rorys_Tamas got Godzilla from a different character. I’ll keep it a secret who Hallow actually evolved into ;^)
