You are squirreljak, a red squirrel that survived the great squirrel replacement. You have been banished from your home and you have nowhere to go. All you can do is try to survive. What will you do?

First and most importantly ensure your tail is at maximum fluffiness with a quick grooming.
A fluffy tail is essential to good squirreling. If not for your tail youd just be some kind of ginger tree rat.

Those dastardly european squirrels. Always replacing all the other squirrels and stealing your nut spices.

Let's cross the Bering strait and form a grand intercontinental alliance of non-european squirrels to beat them back.

The statement that they will be frugal with their projects in consideration of the status of the stockpile implies an expectation that the stockpiles would be a contributing element.
While i suspect there is still a third party at large, we can infer that the stockpiles have been used to complete some of their completed works.

If the situation is confronted it should be done quietly and diplomatically.
People could very well percieve their actions as callous theft and give credence to the rumours and prejudices that follow the chasonites.
I suspect they have a more relaxed attitude towards property (with the exception of their compound which they seem guarded over)
and have expected the same to be true of us.
They must be made aware that stockpiles are carefully monitored and resources pre alloted towards future essential works that have yet to begin.
Their failure to coordinate will result in some projects having a delayed start date which could have a repercussion on long term settlement viability and inflict unnecessary hardships upon people.
To use an analogy, we are all pulling the same cart up the same hill.
We wont get very far if someone decides to run on ahead with one of the wheels.

As to the plants...
Gah.
I cant decide.
Spicy beans sound good but a parsnip you can fence with is also appealing.
Nul vote as i like them both.

Honestly, if they admit to using our supplies then we have to tell them we expect to be able to do the same with what's in their compound, and send someone over to take stock. At the same time we'll be able to find out exactly which types of objects they consider community property, because sharing EVERYTHING doesn't make sense when they're open to trade! We should also ask them to coordinate with us a bit more about what projects they're interested in doing. We have stuff we need to do, too, and if we're the only ones harvesting lumber then we can't exactly afford to put big pallisades everywhere.

I have no issue with them drawing from the stockpiles, honestly. If we continue with our close cooperation then they're just as much our people as our own. That they are particularists is of little issue. We're on this island together, likewise our fortunes will rise and fall together.

Let's try some mutual cooperation

First, nform them that their laborers are to check-in with the quartermaster when they draw from the stocks. Keeping accurate counts is important, and our poor quartermaster has been spending so much time counting and recounting that he hasn't had a decent sleep in weeks.

Then inform them that around the time of their arrival, we were supposed to receive a large shipment of vital supplies. In it's place we received a pittance due to some political upheaval back in the empire. Meanwhile, most of our efforts here so far have been put toward securing our food supply.
This means that currently, we lack the tools and facilities to produce more supplies. If we want to start producing our own we need to start from scratch, which means we need a Lumber Mill, Carpenter's Workshop, and Charcoal Burner. We can't even think of mining, smelting, and forging metal tools without those.

Suggest to the Chasonite's a mutual construction project to establish this critical industrial supply chain.

Finally, I'm voting for spicy beans!

This plan for mutual cooperation is sound.
I like it.
Hope the chasonites do.
Hopefully theyll feel reassured over our attitudes towards their compound and be open to such closer ties.

"Hey Taal..." Runi clears her throat, "you're uhm, into breathplay and stuff?"

the elf beams, nodding, as she clears snow from around the tents, "yes, I'm a bit odd in my tastes."

"would you want me to uh..." Runi smiles nervously, "sit on your face...?"

Taal looks back at Runi and smirks, "ah. well, dear... I meant breathplay for my partner. I have a thing for causing pain. I'm a bit a a sadist, hehehe."

Runi's tail wags as the idea of Taalsen doing harm to her clouds her vision. Runi had never had anything more than light spanking but the idea of someone that could snap her in half like a twig toying with her like that... it really excites her. Runi is used to being the top, maybe a little time being a pain princess would be nice...

"do you only top?" Runi hums

"I suppose I'm open to alternatives." Taal gives a playful smirk, "what do you have in mind?"

"well, I'm usually on top, so... I was thinking..." Runi flashes her teeth, "I could sit on top of you... make you eat me out, while i play with your cock..."

the kobold heads into the woods. elsewhere, an other kobold stalks the woods. Kadra sits atop a tree branch, catching her breath. that goblin certainly saw her, and the tiefling may have too. in any case, she's far from either of them. she shudders to think if she got caught out by whatever person was strong enough to cleave those scouts in half or punch a hole through one. well, she's safe now. she pulls her helmet off, and scratches her scalp. itchy, probably just the air drying out her skin... hopefully...

she digs under her breastplate, finds the little parchment envelope. when she shakes it she can hear the little pills slide around. she smiles. still plenty. she looks up at the sky and tries to figure out what time it is. she should take a pill soon, but she has time. first, she'll find this kobold. she doubts anyone else in her group speaks beast tongue. she just needs to convince them to come with her, and this chore can be over with, and she can go back to her work.

she shoots upright. footsteps below. she nearly drops her helmet as she shifts to hide in the branches. a kobold. a southerner! that must be her... Kadra perks a brow, she is rather pretty... and also preoccupied. she stares down at the forest floor, gathering fallen branches, occasionally muttering something to herself in a flustered voice and giggling. eventually she sighs and leans against a tree. Kadra stares at her for a while, wondering if she should confront her, or just keep watching for now.

Your proposal won't be appealing to them and they've already shown aggression, so it's better to demonstrate your diplomatic approach is intentional and not fear of retaliation. For this reason get near this southerner while she is alone and vulnerable, state your desire to talk peacefully and, depending on her reaction, either offer a meeting somewhere else when she calm down or hopefully have a civilized conversation here and now.

No. 1094425 ID: 861ceb

could you sneak down and away from her without being seen and causally stroll by her and be surprised to see another kobold here and just pretend to be an adventure doing a scouting run to get information and a lay of the land for some quick coin since you couldn't find a group willing to team up with a kobold and just happened to bump into her? Or would traveling alone be too suspicious?

If it could work could be a good way to ask her about her group and if she doesn't like them then try and convince her to come with you. hell maybe ask her about her adventures so far and see if she can tell you what happened back at the fort without directly asking her what happened back there.

Update 1

Today, I told myself I was finally gonna stop lazing around, be productive, get my homework done on time, and finally make a Quest. It was gonna be beautiful, insightful, thought-provoking, simple in its complexity yet grandiose in its humility. It was gonna put the masters of old to shame.

Then I got distracted playing video games for two hours, jerked off, took a shower, and watched Youtube shorts for two more hours, couldn’t think of anything to actually draw when I finally sat down, and now it’s 5 in the morning and I have work tomorrow and can’t do any art or writing because I have to go to bed!

But maybe… just maybe, while I’m sleeping… inspiration will strike, and I’ll make that masterpiece after work tomorrow.

Perhaps the Muses will be of some assistance?

GodsDAMMIT, not again! The power went out; that’s the fourth time this week! Ugggggggh right when I was about to start drawing. Last time it took an entire day before the landlord actually came out and fixed it.

… well, uh, now what should I do? I’m brimming with creative energy and it’s still daylight. I could, uhhhh, fold laundry? Do the dishes? Or I could go see if there’s anything going on outside. Who knows, maybe I’ll just so happen to meet a girl or something.

Hey.
Dont despair.
Could just be a broken fuse, gofind your circuit breaker, see if a switch has flipped.

Worst comes to the worst you can go sit outside with a old school paper notepad and write out some preliminary choice trees and character layouts.

No. 1094173 ID: fd3ba8

You could also grab paper and pencil and just get sketching. Try to come up with some character designs that are simple (and therefore quick to draw) yet distinct and perhaps even memorable. No way to do this without actually drawing stuff. Get the bad ideas out now so you don't get stuck with overcomplicated designs that are a pain in the ass to draw consistently.

Also consider making daring characterization choices, like giving characters pronouns that clash with their gender presentation. Your Suggesters getting super confused is gonna be worth it in the end when they crown King genius of Questden.

I guess if it's actually too dark to draw, maybe take a walk? Fresh air is important. Good for daydreaming. You can jot down notes on your phone.

If you're drawing on a tablet, and don't need a whole PC setup, then you can take your tablet to the library, and keep drawing there. Sometimes, there are even girls at the library.

Get out of the house. See of the power out is just you or the whole neighborhood.
Visit your favorite restaurant and bring along a sketch pad. By the time you finish the meal the power should be back.

Above all else, show some relief for her. The only reason that she would keep pushing her luck, from where you're standing, is try to impress you. Make it clear on uncertain terms that your affection doesn't hinge on her accomplishments, being unable to show affection does not mean a lack of it, and being supportive of her adventures doesn't mean you'll stop worrying after her. Acknowledge she's an adult now, so you can respect her as one.

At least you can be supportive by helping her with her adventuring career. She can't rely on dumb luck, as she is neither of those anymore. Her other stats are looking good, at least. All-rounder builds can work if there's strategy behind it.

>Inimical Inversion
Only reason this wouldn't atrophy is because it can still be used for cleanup, or defense in a pinch.
>Imperial Ambitions
With the ability to do socratic dialog on demand, there's no wonder how her Wits got a big bump. Even better, each form can pick different stats to improve on their own, therefore improving when back together. Screwing with analysis readings, presumably because it averages between the three, is a funny bonus.

That said, your concerns about cohesion are valid do need to be addressed. In the short term, her minions/kids/troops are going to play favorites soon. You might as well settle the issue here and assign which troops are to fall under which command/form. For the long term, she'll have to find or maintain concensus between herselves. It could be better to treat each one as parts of a whole, rather than as individuals. Ideally, she'd develop a core personality across her (currently) three forms, even if it's not what you originally envisioned. (You don't need to literally split your personality to understand the need to have different "faces"

Might as well ask about names or if they should be differentiated at all. We can't exactly call her Thing One, Two, and Three, after all, aand it's a bit insulting to just name them after appearance. However, there's all sorts of questions we need to ask about things like independence, how they resurrect (do all of them share a coffin? What if they wipe all at once?) how to employ them in the dungeon (she could do a whole section on her own! A whole wing! A sub-dungeon, if you will!) or if we could just have her work the outdoors, keeping our local area more up to snuff and less chaotic.

And this is all before how this has affected her production of lesser slimes. Is it divided among them? Is it faster? Do they each make different slimes? Can they control each other's slimes?

I have so many damned questions, and so little to actually suggest, but here's the big one:

Alkaline is the first of our chaotic mess of a party to come out the other end of this more or less with a complete bonus. She's just More Alkaline, she's smarter, and it's more a question of HOW to apply what she has than putting out some sort of body-modification fire. Gratze, Alkaline, as far as I'm concerned you're in the top billing!

Quiz her on the above. I'd love to use her new slimes and friends with the statues from before to make a truly heinous room that would confound any adventurer, but first we should see how she works. She might just be our new best groundskeeper, really, but as she is, she could do that AND other stuff!

You've consistently stated to her face that you don't want to be her mother. She hasn't taken that well. This is her trying to conform her mind around that.
The point of this is to try to get some kind of reaction other than a business-like apathy towards an employee. Even hatred would be enough to help her get past her obsession, but you're still not applying that.
She's obviously angry at you for treating her like a junior employee her entire life. Can we compromise? Even treating her like a pet would be preferable - and that's something you've done well with Chakarchelou, so now she's envious of the fact that you treat your animals in a way she would prefer to detached respect.

"I need to pick up stuff at... Tom's?"

"Oh right, Tom. Well we can drive there when I'm done with the tour, deal?"

"Deal"

"So that building across the diner? That's Samson's Bar. There's a fair bit of mean characters going through it from time to time - truckers, bikers, a couple of wannabe badass city boys. I doubt it's your kind of a joint"

"I've been in enough of these places and even once I managed to wrestle a minotaur into submission during a fight. Too bad no one captured the event on a photo, he looked pretty pissed."

"Well just don't try it with Samson. He's an OK dude. Over there near the main road is a gas station that's run by a Rattkin gal that likes to call herself Sparky. She sometimes hangs around at Lockjaw's garage that's on our right..."

"Oh I've met Ms. Lockjaw and I'll be her... wrenchboy." The term made Scardey giggle a bit but he quickly regained composure... I'm slowly regretting my decision.

"Behind the gas station is the water tower. I mean it's not that significant, but please don't climb it. I have enough problems with the local kids trying to scale it.

We step out of the car and go inside the shop. The inside of Tom's store is littered with tools - gardening, home repair, car repair. You name it, but it seems that it would be easier just to ask than browse on your own given how clumsy everything is organized. Who I assume is Tom, looks like an old battered Hobgoblin and seems to be reading up a guide on Quebec?! Surely there's a reason for this madness...

"'ey there Tom, what are you gonna do in Quebec?"

"Oh I heard there are gonna go for independence again. I'm just trying to get ready in case of a war happening, so I can join a mercenary company again and d..."

"We've been over this, Tom. First of all they've been trying to secede from Canda for over a century now and they're not gonna do that. Second of all, if they're gonna secede, it's gonna be by a public vote, not war."

"BAH! But that's the SISSY way to do seceding! What the hell is wrong with this world where there's no conflict next door!"

"I much like my world with less conflict, thank you. Anyway I have a dragon here that wanted something from you..."
