My mother has a gallery showing! I'm kind of jealous actually. I haven't been able to display any art in a showing since university. She promised to take some video and let me know what's being shown. I'm quite happy for her.

As for my "marriage", dad says things are "looking up" and things should be resolved next month.

A big harvest for November:
- Enoki mushrooms
- Celery
- Green Beans
- Bell Peppers
- Oyster mushrooms
- Corn
- Shiitake mushrooms
- Sweet potatoes

Much thanks to Mizuki for helping with the community garden plots. They look wonderful!

A better question for Command than me, but there could likely be an area outside, if it weren't for the occasional sand storm.

I wasn't really asking you you know... You're probably right though, they'd probably file the request under unnecessary recreation like everything else fun.

[floranotfauna]

Then why the hell did you ask? Not necessarily. There are plenty of ways to make indoor fire pits that are safe. As long as they are monitored and built with the right materials, it shouldn't be too difficult to do.

As if whether it's safe and possible factors into the decision making process here. Pretty sure it's way more arbitrary than that.

[floranotfauna]

No. It's more like if you don't provide a well-thought out reasoning behind why you want/think something should be done or provided, that's when you get turned down.

For example, when Tachibana and I submitted our request for a fish hatchery, we made sure to provide reasons why it would be beneficial for Yomi, how it would be managed, the costs of the endeavor, plus plans on where we thought it should go, how big it would need to be, and how many fish we'd need to get started.

It can't be "because I want it, you should give it to me". It has to be "I think this would benefit the colony and here is why...".

That's the problem here, isn't it? Everyone here is a scientist or a doctor or military and they're in on all these stupid rules that I'm not. Forgive me for suggesting things casually in conversation My Liege, I shall go flagellate myself publicly as punishment.

[floranotfauna]

It's not a stupid rule. Haven't you filled out requisition forms? Same concept applies there too. I was just trying to help, but if you want to be a dick about it, have fun suffering while you're here.

Thanks, I'm already having a blast
