☀️ I know what that look means.☀️

Sanaa: Asante, who is the person the children are playing with? I didn’t know Deneb was taking on new crew members.

Asante: Haha! Well... that would be our stowaway.

Sanaa: Stowaway? Wha- Wait. So they walk the ship freely? & They are allowed to play with the cubs?

Asante: They’re quite taken with them. Not all of the crew have warmed to the idea of our new shipmate just yet. But Saafia and Mel have enjoyed the new face aboard. They are amusing when they all get together.

Sanaa: Hmm...

A peaceful aura surrounds Asante. The warm smile he is wearing puts his sister at ease. His eyes reflect the three adventurers running across the deck. Their giggles echo and dance through the air... filling the sails with the promise of new beginnings on the horizon.

Asante: (As if reading Sanaa’s mind) “Hmm” is right, dear sister.

The expression on his face needs no words...

❤️🌊 Hello TT Community 🌊❤️

We hope our message finds you well. Our team has received many messages of well wishes and also concern due to our silence. We regret to report that the Corona Virus (COVID-19) has infiltrated the lives of those on our small team and has turned them upside down. This means the work on the game has come to a complete stand still. As we struggle with the day to day of the “new normal” it has been a light in the darkness to see our community steadily grow. Tempest Tides is a passion project for each person on our team and even though the virus has halted our efforts...the dream is still very much alive. We appreciate each and every one of you who has patiently stuck by us. COVID-19 has us in uncharted waters...But we hope to be back with you soon.

Take Care,

Hello, Nonny~

He’s been greying for a while now. Some people just get the “threads of wisdom” earlier than others. An encouraging friend like Asante knows just what to say to make this revelation better. We think it’s beautiful. Don’t you agree?

P.S. Cinna is at it again~ 😍

Asante the family man.❤️ He is all about that #DADLife. It’s a part of his charm. ✨ (Insert Favorite Dad Joke Here)

Asante is a hands-on parent and loves his children dearly. So there is no doubt they will be around him and MC! Mel and Saafi adore their Dad and are guilty of being nosy little kiddos that go snooping around. A ship is only so big! Pranks? You may encounter them. 💩 Blackmail for sweets? It’s a possibility. 😅 Does their opinion matter to Asante? Absolutely. How do you win them over? You’ll have to play Asante’s route to find out. ❤️

Deneb: Asante, help! Their heart exploded!!!

Mateo: That isn’t what that means. Now move over so Asante can read through his birthday wishes.

Asante: Haha, I am always happy to help... But I think they will be okay. Hello, Nonny & all our friends out there! Oh wow! Thank you so much everyone! My heart is so full from the love you’ve shown me today.

Bao: When am I bringing out this sweet you made me make? The kids keep sticking their fingers in it and I've about had it!

Deneb: Did you add the suggestion I gave? I don’t see it anywhere on there...

Mateo: He is not putting your trinket on to this. Nobody wants to look at strange nipples on their birthday treat.

Deneb: But the vendor at the market told me they were good luck. 😢

Asante: It’s the thought that counts, haha.

Mateo: Another year older. Another year wiser.

Bao: That does not go for Deneb... now get over here and let’s eat!

Mel & Saafi: C’mon Papa! We can’t wait any longer!

Asante: I’m coming! I’m coming~

Happy Happy Birthday Asante! We wish you many more years filled with happiness! 🎉 &Thank you to all of you who have sent in messages celebrating his born day! He has read every last one. ❤️

Go ahead and ask him, Nonny, if you can catch him! It’s playtime with the kids which means... hide and seek! It’s Asante’s turn to hide and he is currently undefeated. Lol, I just saw Mel and Saafi dashing down the stairs to Captain Deneb’s quarters. Mel shouts, “I think that weird chair just sneezed!” Deneb whispers, “They are onto you... and I don’t think they will have mercy on you just because it is your birthday.”

As far as gifts go for Asante... I would think something handmade would be best. As a carpenter, he knows how much time, energy, and care goes into crafting something. So to know someone has put love and care into making something for him... well, it would warm his heart and definitely bring out that winning smile of his. ☀️ Another thing he would surely appreciate is a nice long massage. He works hard all day long and doesn’t get much time for himself. His love would have to whisk him away for some much-needed downtime and self-care. Once settled in he is sure to enjoy himself and thank you for being so thoughtful~

Mel & Saafi: HOORAY!!! 🎉

Asante: 😅 Settle down, you two....

Nonny, you have piqued their interest and they will be removing the stinky shrimp from your hammock now. Sorry about that...
