Also, can I just say it's strange we came to see how our prisoners are doing, and after hearing their complaints, there's no option to try and fix things in their lives, beyond letting Teo go?
Sabrina will be making such efforts, I just didn't see any point to going "hey, do you wanna vote on getting those potatoes to Ada y/n?"
And was having a rough day yesterday (Still am today, tbh) so I forgot to do my usual 'X wasn't forgotten, it'll be gotten to in a future update' thing. I similarly had meant to comment that the contract with the Council stuff isn't forgotten, just Things Take Time.
And can we talk to Caras about more than one thing?
Just one for now. I'm trying to pace myself better, for one, but in-universe this is supposed to be a quick conversation.
Though in retrospect I could've included an option for hanging out with Caras for the night. I really should've, even. I've edited such in, in fact:
[]Hang out with Caras for the night! Talk about All The Things! See what he actually does in his 'rounds'! Spend time with him! Hug him lots!
I wonder where the burner worms actually are in the host body. Are they concentrated in one part or spread across the body?
What Sabrina has seen of human hosts combusting makes her think they're concentrated in the torso. I think my description was less clear than my mental image, but when the first holy soldier to combust did so, the mass of worms were all hanging out inside the chestplate to start.
Sabrina doesn't know beyond that.
Edit: Do we know if there's a special reason to use sheep as tax? Or would any livestock work?
Meat in general works: in addition to Terrabrand quoting the tax bit again (I'm starting to think I need to just make an info Threadmark for Caras' tax details...), the last Soissons update referred to 'cattle drivers' bringing cattle in for the Council.
My out-of-universe reason for picking sheep as Caras' 'unit of measurement' was simply the related points that
A: My understanding is that sheep have historically been favored over cows in large parts of the world for a variety of reasons (Easier to move, for one)
and B: I'm keenly aware that the modern American
intense focus on cattle as The Default Livestock Animal is actually pretty weird from a historical perspective and so didn't want to mindlessly slot in cows
and C: my understanding is that historically cows were valued much more consistently for their milk than their flesh, vs sheep were valued for their milk and wool but also for their flesh, so Gendarmerie priorities would probably favor sheep over cows
I should probably actually try to do research on what animals were historically raised primarily to be slaughtered. (Now that I think about it: pigs? I don't think I've ever heard of pigs being a product outside the context of slaughtering them) That way, whenever the topic inevitably comes up in regards to Soissons' policies, I have something reasonably appropriate picked out.
I'm not sure why a non-procreative marriage bothers Svenja so much, unless it's just implying a lesbian comp-het thing.
This was Svenja asking about sex without directly asking about sex.
And Sabrina having that go right over her head.
