Kara Mase, the Glory of Amusing: Engraved on the wall is an image of a dwarf and an elf. The dwarf is committing a depraved act on the elf.
Spring starts out with me trying to figure out why my dwarves were being lazy asses and not clearing out stones like I told them to. I eventually manage to fix the problem.
Things start running a little more smoothly when the spring migrant wave arrives.

And probably some animals too, but honestly, it's getting hard to tell.
Joyous day once again! A baby girl is born to Erza and Nack, and they have named her Anko Mitarashi.
Suddenly, more babies! Baby Huang Rong is welcomed to the world.
The arrival of the Elves means that spring is drawing to a close. I wonder if we're rich enough to buy out their entire caravan yet. (the answer is yes, but I don't buy everything because there's a ton of stuff I have no use for) Once again, a badger breaks loose from the cage while trying to transport it, and Sara gives it a quick and bloody death.
Summer starts out uneventful, and I can't help but be amused that one of the animals we got from the Elves was a tame badger. We also got a black bear, a yak, a female turkey (which means a breeding pair!) and a fox.
Incoming!

This puts the fort population at 90, by the way.
While checking up on Setzer's bookkeeping progress, I notice something completely horrifying.
YOU IDIOTS! WHY DID YOU ELECT HIM OF ALL PEOPLE!? (Yes, the dwarves do have elections. No, I cannot influence the results)
...c-can we go back to Isshin!?
Bumblebee starts acting strangely, but he doesn't move from his spot. Clearly, he wants a workshop I haven't built yet. Taking a look at his skills, I notice that he's a novice bowyer, and order a proper worksop built. He runs and claims it as soon as it's ready.
He wants a lot of items, and it's a pain to get everything he wants. He communicates to us by showing us pictures, but he doesn't tell us exactly what he's missing.
While I'm still trying to figure out Bumblebee's demands, (it turns out to be silk cloth. plant cloth and yarn cloth apparently wasn't good enough) the human caravan arrives.
...a blowgun. Are you serious? It's not useless, but blowguns are kind of...terrible.
Clay spikes. Seriously? I suppose that is slightly more threatening than the spikes of chalk last time. Also, is it a good idea to put spikes on something you're going to be putting so close to your face? By the way, The Accident of Brothers the iron sarcophagus is referring to the thing Leo made last time. I'll show that off now.
Kinda plain looking, (other than the spikes) but an artifact is an artifact.
Autumn comes, and we're starting to look more and more sophisticated.
While we're scrambling to get everything organized, I get word that Kaoru has given birth to another baby! Let's see, the next name on my list is Hiruma Yoru-
EVERYTHING IS PLOTTING AGAINST ME!
Anyway, mayor Loki and captain of the guard Muraki are making ridiculous demands of me.
They want me to give them all that stuff. (Muraki is slightly less demanding as he's not asking for the same high quality, but the demands are basically the same.) Also, Loki likes brass things, so he says I can't trade anything made of brass. Which is fine. There isn't anything brass in this fort aside from some bars.
The autumn immigrant wave arrives.

Small wave, thankfully. As I've run out of women to name dwarves after, Bradley and Beat are girls. (Queen Bradley?) Shortly after, the caravan arrives just as I push a key, so I wasn't able to get a screenshot. They don't deserve one anyway. They were being humongous douchebags during the trading process.
Ariane gives birth to a boy named Vo Spader.
Not one to be left behind, Utena gives birth to miss Shinjiro Aragaki.
Unable to handle this baby business, Ruby decides to retreat away from the commotion in the Jeweler's Workshop. She takes a huge number of materials with her (ten items, the max a dwarf will use!). She's definitely planning something!
Meanwhile, Loki decides that he's cool with brass items being exported, but now forbids export of crossbows. Okay.
Oooh, a window! Let's look at it!
...it has spikes. Why does a window need spikes? WHAT IS WITH YOU GUYS AND YOUR OBSESSION WITH SPIKES!?
This is getting ridiculous now. Little Neku Sakuraba is born while Erza is getting herself drunk.
Spring has come once again, and Lovepaddled continues to grow in peace. With a population sitting at an even 100, it's gone far since seven brave dwarves set out for the unknown. Let's see how much longer this tranquility lasts.
