Dear Urist, Urist & Urist, AKA: The Pirate Mason Junta
As you well know, construction on the Mk.1 "Kill the World" device has been held up while you construct floodgates. What you *should* know is that your continued insistence on traveling across the entire fort to get to our non-magma-safe stone is resulting in my seriously considering building the Mk.1 in such a way that it cannot be turned off. Unless you would like this to eventuate, please look to the small mountain of basalt and granite next to your workshops. It's been there for half a year now, you must have noticed it.
Dear Urist McKiwi,
You didn't hear it from me, but if you link a stockpile which only accepts certain kinds of stone to a workshop, that stone is the only one that will be used in the workshop.
Sincerely,
An Ominous Dwarf
Dear retired werebeast adventurers
For the love of all that is earthy, please stop migrating to my fortress!
Dear Hugo Luman,
Why? Don't you like warriors of epic skill who can't be permanently incapacitated by nonfatal injuries, nor starve/dehydrate to death?
Sincerely,
Urist McBadassWere
to the engravers guild: re: recent engravings
after looking over your area, your engravings are thus:
a: your lunch (about 45%)
b: the foundation of this fortress (about 10%)
c: defiyi onslaughtlion(elf) taming bobcats(year 39) (about 40%)
d: other non-history (about 5%)
really? this one elf? is that all the worlds history?
it's the year 204, the third year of this fort, surely something other then this one elf(taming bobcats) has mattered in the history of our world?
Dear enzier,
We only engrave local events. Make an event that it local.
Sincerely,
Engravers Union
to Urist McSpearDwarf: Re: unhappy to be releaved of duty
you were sent down to the caverns, with two others, to get rid of the troglodytes interrupting our operators there
you preformed admirably, and dispatched them without injury, and then, as you finished your task:
you were unhappy, complainging about being releaved of duty.
even after many months and other tasks, you keep complaining about this
you are hereby being isolated, as the rest of us worry about your growing despair with occationally running out of things to kill
Dear Overseer,
Give me something to do that builds up a civilian skill quickly. Rock blocks or mugs, perhaps.
Sincerely,
Urist McBored
Dear Miners:
I would take it as a kindness if you would live through your first year here. We all need to work together if we want to pierce this aquifer.
Sincerely,
Niccolo
Dear Niccolo,
Gee, thanks. Try not to kill us. Take our intelligence into conideration.
Sincerely,
Miners
Dear Urist McVampire,
Stop going exclusively for my Legendary military dwarves.

U.R.I.S.T. HQ
Dear UHQ:
But they're so tasty, and I hear that I'll start sparkling if I do it enough! If I can just sparkle a little, I hear I can get a bunch of fangir--URK!

Dear migrant fishery worker
If you had arrived in different circumstances, I assure you you would have been sent unarmored against the packs of giant rats in the caverns. I must also assume you noticed the large crowd of mutilated corpse corpse corpse's around our fortress. I congratulate you for encountering and detecting the necromancer.
I admit to curiosity as to how you brought a prototype swordgolem as a pet, but I cannot complain as to the results.
Congradulations, commander of the Geared watch. Your mithril sword is down the hall.
Your grateful overseer.
Dear Overseer,
Wouldn't
you bring a bodyguard if you came here? Especially in such a disliked position as fishery worker. And look, I'm being drafted!
Sincerely,
Urist.
Dear Demonblood 1,
Thank you for testing out the thrownaxes. It is, however, unfortunate that you were slain trying to finish off a wounded Iloial. Those plant people are tough, aren't they? Anyway, we've hired a new test subject. Demonblood 2 has been testing the lever-action rifle, using the silver .40-75 Gov't cartridges we supplied. We're thinking about including the .40-75 bit with the rifle's name for convenience.
Sincerely, Psychohorn Weapons Manufacturing.
What mod is that, anyways?
Dear Urist McMilitia:
How in the blood soaked elvish hell did you manage to damage your boots? some of them are xbootsx. Why were you storing them in a refuse stockpile? When were you storing them in a refuse stockpile? or were you idiots playing in the hot hot heat of the volcanic anomalies (Places where temp didn't update properly after the volcano was drained). Pleas report to Urist McArmorsmith for a new set of boots.
Mystery solved. All worn items degrade in refuse stockpiles, to help clean up worn clothing faster.
