Year 2, day 189: I haven’t been able to find Jamjars again. That sunlamp really can’t cover the entire garden box at the intensity it needs, but the entire point of going underground was to be hidden, I guess. There’s still plenty of time, but the sooner I get some Berries growing now, the more … Continue reading Chapter 3.12: 1.52 Years

Year 2, day 116: We spotted a witch for the first time. Now I understand why everyone’s scared of them. She was at least fifty feet above us, but I could feel her malevolence from the ground. I quickly got everyone inside in the house, an action copied by the Gray Jinjos. Piddle almost buried … Continue reading Chapter 3.11: 1.32 Years

Year 2, day 17: We got ourselves a second Jiggy! Piddle had gone to Mayahem Temple, a place that decided that remembering ancient times beat remembering witches, and was busking his water magic for Notes. Apparently some local goons – the local slang for minions of the witches – were giving a local a bad … Continue reading Chapter 3.10: 1.04 Years

Year 1, day 278: A proper planter box has now been installed in the Warehouse, with three times as much plot space as before made of actual fertilized soil, with a replacement supply nearby. Kind of wish we could go up to a full acre, but I’ve run the math and I literally don’t have … Continue reading Chapter 3.9: 0.76 Years

Year 1, day 158: Everyone’s on the Way of the Mob now. Terra went first, then Piddle, then Bitbit who generally felt uncomfortable in the general area of the temple for reasons he would not tell me. The Way of the Mob made things much easier. For one, the entrance to Glitter Gulch Mine now … Continue reading Chapter 3.8: 0.43 Years

Year 1, day 147: After all this pondering and just going in circles on the mobility problem, I decided to seek help from the wisest character I could recall from this series: Master Jiggywiggy. First was the problem of getting into his temple. His disciple guarding the door was quite stubborn on the topic of … Continue reading Chapter 3.7: 0.4 Years

Year 1, day 105: We’ve spent the last month building a hut out of what we had available. We got the wood from the Wooded Hollow that wasn’t a long walk away. The stairway that connected the doors hadn’t been bulldozed yet, so most of the trouble was maneuvering the planks on the Plateau side … Continue reading Chapter 3.6: 0.28 Years

Year 1, day 75: Today, we decided to begin our expedition down the train tunnels from the Terrydactyland station. Do not try this at home, kids; we are professional explorers. I explained the dangers as well as I could. Chuffy the train had started Banjo-Tooie derailed. With all the stations closed, it seemed very unlikely … Continue reading Chapter 3.5: 0.2 Years

Year 1, day 60: We need to get out of here. That’s the short of it. We have no idea where to look for Jiggies and I’m getting really tired of dinosaurs. Who knew when T-rexes would start showing up. Both Terra and Piddle tried their hand – or paw or whatever – at removing … Continue reading Chapter 3.4: 0.16 Years

Year 1, day 38: Piddle turned me back into my pangolin self the following day after I promised I calmed down. I tried alt-form switching, but apparently his transformation magic is very powerful, as I was well and truly stuck like that until he reversed it. I also couldn’t put myself back in frog form, … Continue reading Chapter 3.3: 0.1 Years
