I had a nice quiet life just now, born to an Eve. I was her only daughter. I spent a lot of time hunting rabbits and gathering food. Sadly, she had no more kids, but lived to 60, quietly farming, while I brought supplies back to camp. Once I hit adulthood, I prioritized getting my yum chain up and kitted myself out in a full set of furs, sealskin coat, rabbit everything else. But no babies came; Not even any /dies. Once I hit 40 I had accepted the inevitable: my little camp was doomed. I remember reading a story on here about a guy who made it a mmission to make a real grave for his mother once the town is no longer viable. This sounded like as good a plan as any to me.
First big problem though was there was no iron; we had made a shovel and a hammer but that was the extent of our supply. So off I went. It took me the better part of the rest of my life to locate 3 pieces of iron on the surface, but I finallly managed. One shovel, adze and chisel later, I was ready to make my grave. Only up until now I didn't know how to make letter stock. I was 50 years old at this point and frantically alt-tabbing to the wiki to figure it out.
Side note here: Letter stock is dumb and needlessly complicated. To make an M I have to make 2 Vs, combine them into a W, flint chip it into an N and then combine THAT with an I. I fumbled one too, using a flint chip instead of a sharp stone and spent a couple of my now very limited minutes looking for another skewer. Why I couldn't just turn the W upside down, I have no idea. I made it in time though.
Finishing the grave gave off the same good feeling as completing any project in a thriving town. More in a way, since I was on my own and getting frantic as the clock was ticking down. Normally once the last fertile girl dies off, I wander into the snow naked and quietly starve. I'm glad I didn't this time though; Rewarding experiences can stilll be found after the camp is doomed. All our camps are doomed eventually after all.
If you were Eve Pie VIII, thanks for a fun life. Sorry I didn't have any kids.
