Morul MobRules Fikodkat, 1st Granite, 53So. I arrived here this fall, at this upside-down fortress: who's idea was it to build up instead of down, anyway?
Since then, I've been caught in the weather, don't have a proper bedroom, there aren't enough chairs, and there's been a rediculous amount of violence. On the plus side, work has been satisfying, and a kitten has adopted me. I'm a Gemcutter, an Architect, and a Diagnostition.
Aparently, enough people heard me griping about what I'd do differently if I were in charge that they decided to make me put my money where my mouth is, so to speak. Be careful what you wish for, I guess.
And of course, as soon as you get made overseer, everyone comes to you with their complaints:
- The queen is unhappy that we don't have more bolts -- and actually, I have to agree. Our marksdwarves should have a better supply.
- The mayor wants to make ABSOLUTELY SURE that I understand that we are NOT to export bracelets. That's easy enough, I don't intend to make any. We can just make more than we need of the things we use ourselves, and trade the extras. No need to make things that have no point except to trade.
- Clothing. Ushat Erushabir and Degel Ostukbim are running around buck-naked and not happy about it. Eshtan Zonstakud would kind of like to have some pants, Olon Mafolkidet and Zasit Zatamondel are tired of being shirtless, and Alath Siguncatten would really like some shoes. Also, everyone is still wearing the clothing they arrived in, and it's not going to last forever.
- The queen, the mayor, and the captain of the guard are all unhappy with their accomadations (see below), and lots of others are unhappy not to have no bedroom at all.
- The Chief Medical Dwarf Imortal-D and his patient, DDDDragoni, want soap available to the hospital ASAP.
- Japa says that rumors are true that the werelizard entombed in our mines is his wife, and would really like it if we could get some food to her -- this is complicated by the fact that she has just now entered her monthly transformation.
- Heretic wants to see more dead wagons
- I'm told there's some kind of forgotten beast wandering around, but I can't find any traces of it. Will have to wait to see if it's real, or if someone's been smoking the plump helmets instead of drinking them.
- I've been warned that there is a traitor that's been making themselves scarce for the past couple of weeks. I'll admit, that one has me a little jumpy.
More about the unhappy householders:
The
Queen doesn't think that her royal suite, specifically the bedroom and the diningroom, are royal enough:
Her bedroom:
her dining room:
They both look great to me, don't know what she's complaining about
The
Mayor and the
Captain of the Guard are even less happy with theirs:
:
The mayor's quarters:
The Captain of the Guard's quarters:
The Captain also unhappy about the lack of a prison.
The CotG is easy enough to deal with: why do we even need a Captain of the Guard? The last thing we need is someone running around bashing skulls in because someone let a bracelet fall into the trade bins or didn't make enough crundle-bone bolts. Thus, he's demoted to being a rank and file soldier. He's not happy about it, but I told him to complain to the next overseer if he wants his position back.
Plus, I have my own improvements that I want to make: I'll talk about those as I begin to implement them.
So, it would seem that I have my work cut out for me, before I even begin my first day. Wish me luck.
SupplementalIt turns out that once you've filled the post of Captain of the Guard, you lose the option to leave it vacant -- dang buerocracy. So, I'm giving the position to Sanju, the cloistered werelizard.
