From the diary of Arcvasti, self proclaimed King of all Cats:26th Moonstone: Since Gwolfski is stepping down, I was overwhelmingly voted in. If I hadn't obtained the cat and chicken vote, no one would have voted for me at all. Who's crazy now? No one else took a moment's thought for them, but *I* did.
27th Moonstone: Now that I have a life again for things besides campaigning, I'm beginning to notice things. Terrible things. There are ramps. Everywhere there are ramps. Some of them lead to dead ends. I don't know why. We're being "protected" by some stonefall traps, some empty cage traps and a militia of three people with no armour. We're drowning in silver and the vice mayor Glittergold has rock furniture and doesn't even have his own office[He's sharing with [Sweet precious]Carefulrogues]. We have four Fishery Workers, but no fishery. Clearly it falls to me, [Elected]King of All Cats, to right these wrongs and make Sneaktunnels great again! For the first time! My work is cut out for me.
28th Moonstone: The mystery deepens. Several dwarves not listed as Fishery Workers nonetheless have the same labours enabled. I met a trapper whose only task was gem setting. I quickly discovered the reason why. The bookkeeper,/managed Carefulrogue, is also a swordsdwarf training near-constantly. No wonder no one's updated any records. I set Rakust Relievedgems, my feline campaign manager, as Assistant Bookkeeper and leave them to straighten things out. Anyone capable of recording numerous campaign donations of yarn and dead vermin is worthy of this great honour.
I also have the vice mayoral and bookkeeping offices bisected by a wall of stone and prepare to put some fabulous silver furniture to appease our beloved vice mayor. Its always important to be magnanimous to one's underlings, fuzzy or otherwise.
29th Moonstone: While everything else is in one degree of disarray or another, our library is thriving.
Several eminent researchers are currently discussing animal remedies animatedly. As a genuine animal, and thus with no small stake in this research, Dishmab Dashedcudgel is eminently suited to be the Minister of Science of the new administration and will certainly prove invaluable to future vetrinary science.
While perusing Rakust's reports on the aptitudes of the plague of Rangers currently afflicting us, I also noticed that we have a caged Giant Rat just WAITING to be tamed. One of the Rangers can become the official Animal Trainer, the rest are just haulers and peasants.
1st Opal:
Snow, our [not-so] beloved founder and Legendary Miner[!!!] is currently trying to catch and eat small animals. Since maintaining a thriving vermin population is essential to the support of my cat backers, this is highly problematic. I send some other miners to go dig him out. Why was he even down there? There's also a Wax Worker in a similar plight, but he's useless to expanding the cat kingdom, so I won't bother with him.
In speaking of the cat kingdom, I order a
commemorative silver statue made to celebrate the beginning of this new and fabulous era of coexistence between dwarf and cat. Since the vice mayor wants a dining room, I'll set it up so they're always looking at the statue while they eat.
2nd Opal:
Since we'll be needing lots of imports[Steel, cats, wood], I order some
nice commemorative figurines made. When the next caravan comes, we should be able to trade for lots of valuable stuff with our newly minted trade goods.
We're apparently out of wood. Since we're keeping our cavern access open already, I order some mushrooms cut down. That wasn't so hard.
3rd Opal:
We may not have any armour-grade metal, but silver hammers still pack a mean punch. Once the vice mayor's silver accomodations are all done, I'll have a bunch of silver hammer weapon traps made to guard us against the cat-eating forces that assail our quaint deathtrap.
The vice mayor wanted a weapon rack and complained his bedroom was terrible. I put an artifact weapon rack in his bedroom and killed two dwarves with one cat. Efficiency. Decorum. Genius. This is why people vote for me.
There. first update done. Future updates will be larger, I promise.
