Well, better see what's going on in the fortress...
(I've switched to imgur for uploading pictures, it appears to smoosh the pictures a little, but it doesn't require a subscription like imageshack did)
How the hell did that kid get injured? Maybe he was in that accident earlier and didn't pass out fast enough to be in the first round of wounded... I'll be honest, I feel a little out of it...
-"Floodbringer" Febrigoth, Mayor
Have you been drinking properly? We can't have our mayor getting lazy because he refuses to grab a barrel of longland beer
-"Psycho repellent" Ulolbesmar, retired expedition leader, Captain of Guard
I miss having mead, but there's no more space on the side of the screw press to write requests for more honey... Wait, didn't I hire a manager earlier? Maybe she could get the order through...
order placed, now we wait for it to be finished, then lovely mead will flow once more!
Oh, that's just amazing timing, I'm sure this gem cutter will give us a very useful item
Well, that workshop won't be available for awhile, but at least construction started immediately
Apparently whatever this guy is building only needs a single chunk of lapis lazuli...
-"Floodbringer" Febrigoth, Mayor
They must've heard your prayers that the moody dwarves don't eat up all the fortress' resources to make useless trinkets, they're only taking a little bit to make useless trinkets!
-"Psycho repellent" Ulolbesmar, retired expedition leader, Captain of Guard
The thought fills me with hope and horror in proportional amounts
The clothier has been working tirelessly for almost a week now, and is still empty of clothes, I can only assume because they keep getting snatched up by the endless supply of dwarves in need of new clothes
We've got loads of quivers though
Dammit manager, you have ONE job, can you put off drinking for one minute to tell some other dwarves to do their jobs?
-"Floodbringer" Febrigoth, Mayor
No, I've been hauling stone for two years and NOW you want me to do legislative work? Let me ease into this... Also, my name's not "manager"
-Zuglar Tosidlular, Manager
Fine, fine, but get to it after that drink
I knew dimple cup spawn were small but I didn't know you could fit 20 of them into a single dish, especially considering the cooks can only fit a maximum of four anchovies into one of those roasts...
Our baroness now has everything she needs to sit around and demand shoes like a true noble
-"Floodbringer" Febrigoth, Mayor
Not fair, you know dwarven nobles do as much work as any other dwarf... exactly the same amount of work for much higher demands...
-"Babykiller" Zuglarrulush, Retired Mayor, Baroness
The crafting is done, it has made... a spiked grate... well, at least it's something we could theoretically use...
-"Floodbringer" Febrigoth, Mayor
See? all your prayers have been answered! Now, I've got to get back to chasing these ravens you keep telling my squad to get rid of...
-"Psycho repellent" Ulolbesmar, retired expedition leader, Captain of Guard
Sure, you do that
The doctors have finally seen fit to examine this kid's broken arm, here's to hoping he doesn't die of infection
-"Floodbringer" Febrigoth, Mayor
Oi! I'm getting to writing this work order, how do you spell "honeycomb"?
-Zuglar Tosidlular, Manager
It is literally written in front of you, how do you not know?
-"Floodbringer" Febrigoth, Mayor
Well excuse me, Mr. Mayor, but it's a little dark in this one-by-one hole you gave me as an office... and done, the workers should get started soon...
-Zuglar Tosidlular, Manager
Excellent... Oh, that's just great
A new epidemic among the livestock, from the makers of "homicidal horses" comes "starving buffalo," well I'm not letting this one become terminal, I'm issuing orders to slaughter all of them...
Dammit... apparently that fishing chamber Ulolbesmar ordered built so long ago has finally killed her...
-"Floodbringer" Febrigoth, Mayor
I guess I'm the new comic relief then... would saying "The floodbringer strikes again" be considered crass?
-"Babykiller" Zuglarrulush, Retired Mayor, Baroness
Dammit, I really need some mead right now
-"Floodbringer" Febrigoth, Mayor
What about "all your prayers have been answered!"?
-"Babykiller" Zuglarrulush, Retired Mayor, Baroness
(The punchline is that he actually prefers bumblebee mead)
Press faster dammit!
-"Floodbringer" Febrigoth, Mayor
R.I.P.
