That is a good question. Museums and libraries serve similar purposes, to preserve and display the works of people and nature. But a lot of museums have cafes either in them or nearby.

I'd link it to a library, myself.

One day. Toady mentioned how technically difficult it was recently, but said it's something which he'd like to try at some point.

He used to say that wasn't a thing he wanted to do. Glad to hear he changed his mind on that.

I know this is all about native dwarf fortress, but you can fix the goblin issue just by making them eat, drink, and maybe age out. Not sure if elves are immortal, but if so you can keep them down with an age limit too.

Most likely they'll both try to escape as soon as the cage is released. You'd have to send in people to kill them to get them to do anything else.

Armok Vision is definitely fun, but it's getting an overhaul so it won't be available to the newest versions for quite some time. It's a pity. It looks so cool, too!

How very appropriate. I'm working my way through John Ringo's Posleen war books right now, and that's some pretty hardcore military sci-fi showing just how very much soldiers need to be backed up by traps. When the Posleen invaded the U.S. they quickly learned to avoid any area marked with the twin turreted castle that the U.S. Army Engineering corps uses as its symbol. Landmines, I tell ya. Fuckin' landmines. So many dead crocodile centaurs that the streets were sticky with yellow blood.

Ases is never going to be in love with that sword but it is totally the closest thing to a drinking buddy she has right now. I mean, it already drinks the blood of her enemies like she drinks blackberry wine, assuming we have that. It's what she prefers.



Ases stared at Slada over top of her sword. She looked down at the sword. "What do you think of that impression of you, sword?" Ases looked back up at a now slightly freaked out Slada.

"I think it's too low pitched." Slada started backing up. That reply came out in a falsetto, and Ases lips hadn't moved. Slada was too distracted to see her throat moving, and he started fearing the crazy lady with the talking sword.

"I'm sorry, I won't do it again!" Slada started to turn around to run and fell over himself. Ases just burst out laughing.

"Man, that was too easy." Ases looked back down at her sword. "But seriously, I really should name you. I can't keep tagging the corpses of my kills with property of sword all the time."

She dreams of bringing peace to the world. That's going to take some doing, but it's probably beyond one person, or one generation. She might not care about family, but she might woman up and do the deed if it seems necessary to her goal.

If one of her nieces or nephews shares that goal, however, she might just take that one under her wing instead.
