[M]om - Last Hurrah [TEXT][Cancelled]

>Let them do the nerd thing
>Have them carry a baby around

You're content to let p2998 choose how best to spend their working hours, and completely refuse to allow them to carry around any of the p-class babies. The ducklings are strong enough to hold onto someone carrying them and even old enough to make all the babytalk they make, but they are in no way ready for that.

You do consider that for next year though.

Friday

An eyegret swoops into the village and tries to make it's home here. It screeches at Ewedice, but before anything can happen Charles slams it's head into the exposed midsection of the bird, killing it instantly.

G789 and the Metaparxi have both arrived. The van this time is larger as the two have more they brought with them. The metaparxi ends up introducing themselves as 'Ardent', and the Janitor as G789. Ardent ends up managing to get one of their chairs crushed by the down-going cargo lift to the next floor, but was themselves unscathed. G789 told them to not be so careless as something could have been damaged, but ends up confusing a bag of more toxic waste into the compost pile thinking it was yard trimmings.

Everyone except Mr Bonemeal share a meal of eyegret stew.

Saturday

An (Ivfrid) tries to dig into one of the storage areas until it is distracted by 2998's Vending Camel. A fight starts to ensue but the Vending Camel treats the wild animal as an attempted thief, and stomps it to death.

Mr Bonemeal makes a meal today out of tricking P2998 into thinking they were about to be crushed by machinery, and tricking Charles to run headfirst into a wall.

Sunday

Ewedice tamed a gracicorn, somehow.

The weekly shipment has arrived, and due to your new hires and occupants you've been shipped more supplies

Any furniture that was too large or difficult to move quickly has arrived. Most of it is P2998 and G789, but a couple pieces have arrived ahead of W792, and one piece for Ardent. Additionally G789's creature team has arrived. Mr Bonemeal additionally receives furniture but in the form of an airdrop that he takes along Ewedice.

The T class begins demanding to take the rendered terrorsaur and senspray meat, and while the H class tries to suggest a more reasonable request you aren't convinced. Ewedice does inform you that even before the shipment it wouldn't be possible to use all of the butchered Terrorsaur before there is either no space to put things, or it rots. You exchanged meat for additional funds for the village.

• -50 Terrorsaur Steaks
  
• -10 Senspray Jerkey

P2998 helps the H class get their phone unfroze, and is given a blunt for their trouble. The H class informs you that further services on their part will need to be paid in credits or help like before. You realize the H class is telling you he's your dealer now.

As they drive away and you start to play on your new free tablet you realize that not everyone has been assigned work schedules. Ewedice is practically the only one with one. It also comes to mind that there are still repairs and other tasks in the village that could be attended to.

You start compiling notes on the occupants of your village, and soon have a document to keep track of your employees

A/N + ArtShow

Yooo I’m back on the wagon. I drew the cast lined up in April.

I'll do an album of individual sprites next update.

Here-on I’m gonna try and resume regular updates, and in addition get the ball rolling past feature bleed/exposition. I’ll try to track info in a google doc too, but later.
