Final season:

Journal Entry 717: Our Queen has discovered my secret plan. I do not know how or from who, but I was summoned to her quarters this morning under the order of "Friendly chat". Upon entering her dining room, I was greeted by 6 human guards and Blind commando, all with bloodthirsty glares and drawn weapons. My heart leapt into my throat as I realised I had been found out. It was then when Queen Derpy Dev emerged from the shadows with an evil grin and eyes that would have looked more fitting to a goblin. Without a hint of malice, she questioned me on this secret project I had been working on, prying to see if I had been working on any deep holes to throw anyone in. With a sword at my throat and tears at my eyes (I'm proud enough to admit that) I took them to what I could finish of the project, namely:

This large sealable chamber with beds, supplies and soon to be a tavern. In desperation I nicknamed it "The Alphazone" although its finished state would probably have had a far more boring name. Its designed to be able to keep a large amount of dwarves safely behind sturdy walls for a long time, just in case something terrible were ever to happen that we couldn't fight our way through.
The Queen, having escorted the guards along with me to the freshly smoothed chamber began to feel along the walls with her hands, sniffing the rocks and licking at faint Gold quartz that adjourned the walls. After a minute (or 10 for how long it felt with an axe at your neck) she turned around with her usual toothy grin and howled with laughter. I gulped, anticipating the worst as her cackle echoed through the room. Once she had calmed down, she turned to me, placed her hand on my shoulder and said in these exact words
"I almost sent Sock to gallows for the most boring reason"
My heart skipped a beat as said those words, the realisation of why I had not seen sock flayed and quartered inside the Queens room. As yet more tears started to well up in my eyes, the thought of the last person who would ever care for me were killed for my ambition, the queen snapped her fingers and left, along with Blind Commando and her 6 Guards. I could feel my spit turning to bile in my throat as my mind calculated what had just happened and that I was to blame.
At least it would have, until the door opened once again, as I turned to face the queen once more, I was met with Sock, bloodied and battered yet very much alive. Without another word he slumped besides me, bleeding and exhausted and put his arms round me. I did the same as we huddled in the dark, Sobbing, Greatful for the mercy Armok had given us...
*Entry Over*
27th of Moonstone:

Another Artefact, considering wood is VERY precious, i'll allow it this one time.
2nd of Opal:

What I would normally consider to be a good day, My beloved Doctor Sock has been elected our Mayor for this coming year. While I worry for his safety as Mayor, I have a feeling that Our queen may have voted for him personally as a weird way of apologising for last months transgressions. She always has had a weird sense of humour. In another news, PuppyGuard has been elected into Dukehood, and with the memory of Dear Puppytreats death still on everyone's mind, I fear this internal power struggle may only get worse...
24th of Opal: For some weird reason, Our Ostrich population has been often inside the new zone we made. I assume they are there to pick at our food supplies but if a they were to set up nests there, it couldn't hurt to have a few extra eggs for supper...
5th of Obsidian: Speaking of eggs, we have 12 new Crundlings been born this morning. Some may call me traitor but there is something Endearing about those adorable little monsters. Unlike our malformed Cave Spiders.
25th of Obsidian:

Hopefully, we shall have better reading material from this decision.
28th of Obsidian: And thus ends my reign as overseer of Traphorses of the year 509.  Here is our Stats.

And Here is our Save:

Thanks for having me play guys.
(sorry for secret project not being finished, I'm still a noob at architecture, anyone who finds any suspicious tunnels is free to do what they like with them)

Oh.

...I actually thought you were making a death trap. Also, I have apparently become a Game of Thrones villain. This is fine.

All right, it's Bloop_Bleep's turn! I don't know if you have a dwarfing yet, feel free to get yourself one.

Dang, I have to do two succession forts at once now. I'll start in a couple days.

You know, nobody likes the idea of slowing down not one, but two succession forts... so let's try something different. My turn comes directly after yours, so how about I do mine and then pass it on to you if you're done with your other succession fort. Then you pass it on to Hun and the order proceeds as usual. Sound good? It is your choice in the end after all, not mine.

Sure. I'm not sure what I would work on in this fort right now, anyway.

"Y-you wouldn't kill your duke, would you?"

"Kill him?" The queen laughed. "No no no, I wouldn't kill him. His body will stay in tact." She grinned like a hungry wolf that had found an injured deer, "But his mind will be broken."

The queen opened her mouth to speak, but then closed it. "First off, how dare you."

Second, my friend, I feel bad for your first dwarfing dying so quickly, so you now have a new dwarfing, a human bardess. The mad queen has plans for her, don't worry.

They say that I'm mad. They say that their queen is losing her mind. They're probably right but I'll have them killed anyway. All these minecarts are starting to look like the letter y, the cave spiders look like the letter i and these war dwarves are watching demonstrations on how to bite people. I'm either hallucinating or this world is crazier than me.

A bunch of giant moles and a random military dwarf just keeled over, presumably because of old age. Or maybe the gods are telling me not to do what I'm trying to do right now. Meh.

Now, for my current plan, I need a statue of a god, a test subject, and a room. Hmm... I wonder what room I could use? Actually, I found one. It had Alpha's name carved into it, but it will do.

The god I picked was Babin, god of justice. Or perhaps I should have picked a god who would be more okay with this admittedly rather immoral act, but whatever.

Now we need a test subject. I would use Puppyguard, but... I don't wanna give him super powers. So I picked a human bard named Pikachu17. Rubal knows why she was named that.

Now that I've explained the material list, here is the room:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

There is a temple called, "The Simple Test" built around the statue dedicated to Babin, a small pile of beer and forgotten beast meat, and Pikachu17. Over the next few months, she will be driven insane by sleeping on the floor, having no social contact, and a stunning lack of chairs or mugs. Why am I doing this? Ask Bloop_Bleep.

That's all for now, just want you to know my plans.

I'd give it at least five years minimum before this would drive Pikachu17 insane, with something like 6/7 chance for him to become happier with time instead of sadder.

Though nice handling of craziness =) I take it must be spring?

Yup. Early spring. The sky is beautiful and positively nauseating.

Also, the game crashed and I lost a bunch of stuff, so that sucks. Thanks terrible computer.

First off, why are you trying to make me crazy?
Second, if adult dwarves act similarly to Dwarven children, just put me in an empty room with no food, no drink, and no exit. If I'm close to death from hunger or thirst, put some food or water in the room, then block the room again. Eventually, I should go crazy from lack of food, ETC.
Also, why am I helping you make me insane?

Oh, and I'm taking a turn to return the favor. I may not be able to make you more crazy, but you will wish I had.
