22nd Granite, 210Last night I was able to spend a little quality time with Rose. It's a good thing she interrupted the meeting otherwise There would have been a small... Altercation with the liaison. Honestly if I didn't want to place a large order for brass o we can make Simon's accommodations to his liking as a thank you for his years of service as mayor, I'd have had Crusher and Thumper take him to the old garbage and persuade him to stop living.
Overall it was actually a very good night; her taste in food is a little... Off, but to each his own. My cousin wants to live in a forest retreat and I was able to accept that, so I can deal with a dwarf who enjoys eating those vicious little desert lizards.
This explains where the things were coming from actually... I'll bet some were following her here or were stowed away in that caravan that came up from the southeast.
23rd Granite, 210Got a flood of reports regarding Talvi's craftsdwarfship. And animal births.
I'm sick of animals and quite frankly it's tempting to just herd everything extra we have into the prepared battle zone for the invasion and let the vagrants who still haven't paid their rent solve our livestock problems for us. I also found out this brain-dead liaison was stalling because he didn't want to go home, something about a barbarian siege or something there.
In case he hasn't noticed, we have a sizable amount of dead coalskins cluttering up our front lawn. If his soldiers knew anything about proper fighting He'd not need to worry. At least now I know why he was wasting so much time and driving me to the point where I wanted to slice out his voice box.

I've put out an order to raise a new general food stockpile. I've put out an order for all errant livestock besides our more... exotic specimens and the emu butchered, which since we've processed all the animals to be sheared and milked, I believe is perfectly understandable. I have however opted to spare any pets that are found that have lost their owners and am putting them back up for adoption. Personally, I have found a jaguar down by the prepared site, and have opted to adopt it. I had my guards also have their pick, with Crusher opting for the giant dingo and Thumper taking a giant boar, and Rose taking a trio of dogs. Something about strength in numbers or some such nonsense.
I have spared all of the young animals as well, if only because you can't get as much useful material from a fawn as you can a full grown buck.
24th Granite, 210If I hear one more fucking complaint about inaccessible spider's silk, I'm going to have Zulban exiled to live on the surface. I'm not heartless of course though; he'd be given a decent dwelling to live in and a means to sustain and himself. If he manages to survive two years out there alone then I'll ask Fischer if he can be inducted into 1st Squad.
.... Maybe I should exile him there anyway as a means to test his mettle...

That's it. One silk-related complaint too many Zulban. You should have taken the threat seriously.
25th Granite, 210When I had a moment away from the diplomat I was informed by Crusher we're out of tallow. Convenient that the first mass slaughter reports are in my inbox. He also told me that when he first went to work on soap production some deranged little fellow named Ordogoth threw sand in his face. Crusher beat him quite roundly with a chair, after which Ordogoth agreed to let Crusher make soap at his workshop. The fact Ordogoth came out of it with only some particularly nasty bruises and a black eye means Crusher showed an amazing amount of restraint. Kudos to the big dwarf.
The rollers finally got to work squashing errant dead shrubs in the fields. Now when we do need them, we'll have nice presentable farms to show for it.
Oh, And I plan on dismantling all out looms so the others will quit complaining. There's no silk to gather because we can't use the caverns. We can't use the caverns because there's monsters there that will kill and consume stupid little mindless weavers. And you're all stupid mindless monster food because YOU WANT TO GO INTO THAT PLACE TO GET SILK.
Oh, and while I've been having the others refer to me as a Duke for my impending promotion, you'll never guess what happened my good journal!
[I actually found this needed to be proved.]He actually got around to making with the proper business. And if that wasn't spectacular enough, I was informed Corai and Kaspa could move into their offices! Maybe by Slate we'll be done with this crap and I can resume training.
