Timber! Also immigrants.

As I was finishing widening the fortress entrance, Deduk, our gem cutter and Craftsdwarf, reported to me that she had nowhere to do any crafting work. She seemed to be in a terribly good mood. Tomorrow I'll start digging out a room for the Craftsdwarf's workshop. We also have no meat in the fortress, so I will dig out another room for a Bowyer. Hopefully I can get someone to volunteer to hunt. The flies around here are something awful.

Dear Diar¤y,
Oh, I broke my pencil again. Anyway, I real¤/y like it here. I have a very nic¤. e cabinet in my room. The dining room loo¤= ks fantastic, there are some great tables in there. Right now, I don't ha¤\_ve a place to work. I asked Kivish if he could provide a room fo¤/r me. I¤`m going to sleep in my excellent litt¤/e room now because I'm almost out of pencils. Goodnight Diary!

Seems we're getting a bit violent around here. I just got orders to make a crossbow and a bunch of cages for traps. I seen some guy running around with weird-lookin' mechanisms, and my friend Deduk says she's been told to make a bunch of arrows once she gets her new workshop. I s'pose it's either goblins or meat what we're after. Maybe there'll be some sloths out there. I love me a good sloth steak. In other news, eight new folks just showed up, so I gotta make 8 new beds to furnish the new rooms. Maybe they'll actually be able to sleep the night. My buddy Domas's room is right next to mine on one side, and his girlfriend Inod's is right on the other, so they sit in the hallway and talk all night right outside my door in the middle.

Well, eight new dwarves showed up today. Three of them are children. I haven't the patience for the disorganized little ones. I'm glad I love my job, because on top of the new workshops, I have to carve out a multitude of bedrooms now. One of the new dwarves volunteered to be our hunter once we get him supplies.
