I have run in to a problem several problems actually but the most annoying one is the sheer boredom!! Its only been five minutes since Harley left to get more food and I'm bored out of my mind. I'm also very dehydrated which isn't very fun either head is killing me. Other than making that spear and reading that stupid book i haven't been able to do anything. I mean i cant even leave this stupid house let alone entertain myself.

And i still get angry whenever i think about that stupid goblin monkey thing. It almost ripped my face off! I'm lucky it only managed to cut my face a bit. Which still hurts! The goblin also left a huge stain of blood on the floor which i cant even clean since i don't have anything to clean it whit. Ahg it's so ANOYING. i get angry just thinking about it. The only reason i want to kill more of those things is cause they apparently have that weird black stone in them which I'm pretty sure i need. Also i hate all of them for cutting my face. I'm getting angry again just thinking about it! why am so angry!? This is all that stupid Top-Hat Guys fault i mean how would i know he would just send me to this random house in the middle of nowhere whit monsters. I'm almost convinced I've gone insane. Some serious hallucination's!

Anyway this Black stone is kind of interesting i guess it glow's a little bit and has a warm kind of feel to it. Still bored though i should ask Harley to get more sticks just so i can actually do something instead of just sitting here contemplating my own sanity. The normal rock i found is even less interesting since its just a sharp rock can't really do much whit it for entertainment. I guess I could practice whit the spear which is more like a spike since it isn't all that long. I swing my wooden spike around a bit which makes me feel like a total idiot but at least its not boredom. I hate boredom it makes my mind wander to unsafe places which we cant have happening! meow. Harley! you're back! Finally I've been so bored~! meow. Yay more bread and an apple. That rat sure has it tough, eh he'll be fine.

By the way how's the paper quest going? meow. Not easy huh i guess most paper would be inside the buildings maybe you could get a rat to sneak in? meow. Right... By the way could you get me some water on the next supply run I'm getting dehydrated here. meow. Great knew i could count on you! Now that i see them leave i realize I'm gonna be bored again... Yikes. Guess I'll be eating bread and apple for dinner. I promptly scarf down the food whit great ferocity gaining five MP yay~. I've come upon an idea! i will need another bird. DARK BIRD! a black white eyed bird appears in front of me staring into my eye's. You Mrs. Bird, you are going to get me all of the sticks! So i can finally not be bored. caw? Do not question my grand orders this is necessary! caw! That's the spirit now go!!!

I am definitely a genius. Lonely but a genius nonetheless! Wonder when Harvey will be back whit a goblin for me to harvest. I know its kind of dangerous and also very stressful to bring another goblin to my house but i have a feeling if i get 5 of those black stones i might get some answer's or at least some more possibilities. Also its something that doesn't make me bored which is good. Oh Mrs. Bird is back whit a whole two sticks! Yay!!! The sticks aren't very large but i guess they would work as oversized tooth picks or darts. I manage to get up to a whole 8 sharpened over sized tooth picks before Harvey notifies me that there's a goblin on the way. I grab my spike which is right about the size of a good kitchen knife and wait behind the open door. KRIEEEEEE. I hear the sound of a tone deaf inhuman angry chain-smoker. chasing after what sound's like someone rustling paper which is a bit odd.

The rustling of paper comes closer and the two paper foxes run past the door. That's one mysteries solved i guess. I wait in anticipation as i hear the footsteps of the screaming chain-smoker goblin coming closer. I tighten my grip around the spike and prepare myself ready to strike at any moment. it felt like every millisecond lasted forever as I waited for the goblin to rear its ugly head. And then finally. KRIEEE- The goblins scream was cut short as i slammed the wooden spike into its throat making a disturbing squelching sound. I pulled the spike out of the goblin letting it fall whit a thud. And then i promptly stab it again just to make sure. Phew Harvey get this intruder outa here also see if it has that black stone the last one had. …caw! As i watch Harvey and the foxes drag the goblin out of sight i realize that I've just made an even bigger mess on the floor. i got to clean this up sometime. Maybe the book has something i can do about it. caw. Yeah go ahead I'm not eating it. you don't even need my permission to eat goblins as long as you bring their black-stones. Not long after Harvey comes back whit another black-stone. Its even a little bigger than the last one nice!

By the way why do you even eat the goblins? caw! Makes you stronger? That's cool i guess don't really know how to feel about that. I think we should pick this up tomorrow the sun's almost down and i want to sleep soon. caw! Good work today Harvey. meow. Harley you're back! I smile at my favorite cat that's come back whit a water skin in her jaw. Say is it just me or have you gotten bigger? meow! What! no I'm not calling you fat you are a very slender healthy looking cat! A-anyway where did you get this? I take the water skin from Harley. I then procced to immediately down all the contents i was thirsty.

meow. From a farmer? The same guy you took the potatoes from? meow. does he have a lot of food? meow!. That does sound like a ton of food guess he wont mind if we borrow some. Wait that's where all the food comes from? meow. Has the farmer ever followed you back? meow. Good also make sure not to take more than you can run away whit. meow. Just saying~. s-squeak!. I see the rat drop an apple on the table before immediately running behind Harley. I just smile at the cute little dark rat hiding behind Harley. maybe he's shy? In any case he's very adorable. It is a little ironic having a rat hide behind a cat though. Anyway I'm going to bed good night.

Farmer's perspective.

There's been a lot of trouble recently first my son want's to become an 'adventurer' instead of runnin' the farm. Then a Scare-cat start's stealin' food from my farm. If that wasn't bad enough my daughter's even started taking a liking to this cat saying some thing about it being 'cute'. Its not cute its just stealin' my food!! Just yesterday it stole 1 piece of bread and a few apples it even tried sneakin' in the house before i chased it off. Then today not only did it steal a sack of potatoes it nearly gave me a heart attack!!!!. That little critter has the loudest roar i have ever heard nearly blew out my eardrums! as i sit on my front porch ponderin' these troublesome things. i take a swig of my water. Not alcohol mind you. My wife made me swear it off couple years back. Guess it was for the best anyway. As I'm about to sip my water. I see it, out of the corner of my eye a cat comes flying. SNATCH. W-what? I turn my head almost dumfounded as i see a cat runnin' away whit MY WATER. "YA STUPID CAT C'MERE" I yell as i run after the cat. the cat runs through the corn field and almost immediately I lose sight of it. i continue chasin' it before havin' to stop since I'm outta' breath. "S-stupid c-cat ill get ya just you w-wait" As i return to my porch grumbling i see a little RAT stealin' from one of my apple tree's. and before i can even manage to get angry it runs away. "that- THAT'S IT I'M FILLING A REQUEST".

Back to Jack Lamont's perspective.

I slowly open my eyes as i feel the sun shinning in through the window. A pair of golden eyes whit slit pupils stare back at me as i rub the sleep out of my eyes. Morning Harley. meow. Have you been watching me sleep? meow. I wouldn't understand huh. okay 'batman' meow? Don't worry about it. I get out of bed and take in my surroundings. Harvey is sitting in the open window looking to be having a grand old time keeping watch. The others are apparently outside maybe only residents can sleep inside? Sounds plausible. Harley get some water please. meow. I absentmindedly eat the apple lying on the table as i try to fully wake up. caw. You sure you can fight a goblin of whit just the foxes? caw! Okay but you run away as soon as it gets too dangerous okay, caw! Good. As i see Harvey fly off whit the foxes i decide to get my self started on some projects too. Mrs. dark-bird get me a stick the biggest one you can carry. the unnamed birb looks at me briefly before giving a caw! And flying of.

after a long 2 minutes of waiting the dark bird brings me a decent sized stick. i start chipping away at it whit my rock distracting myself from my boredom while also being productive. Get me some rocks little smaller than the one I'm holding now. caw! The Dark birb give's me a good caw before flying of again and i continue chipping away at my stick. meow. Harley's back and whit what looks like a full water-skin. The dark rat is also back whit an apple. I ate the apple immediately since i was still hungry and drank some water. for now it seems I've solved most my problems. though i wouldn't be surprised if more show up. World domination wasn't easy after all just kidding I'm not gonna take over the world unless? I send Harley and company back out for food and water and i get back to work on my stick. The unnamed dark bird comes back whit a smaller rock and i tell it to go get another.

caw! Harvey is back and he has a black-stone in his mouth. He also tells me there's another goblin on the way which is exciting! I was getting frustrated whit my project any way. I grab my spike an prepare my self for the new intruder. it went just as well as last time. The goblin came in through the door chasing after the foxes and i stabbed it twice. So now i have four black-stones just one more to go. The foxes look a bit tired though so i ask Harvey just to scout around for the rest of the day. I get the foxes to plant the potato i saved in front of the window so i can see it grow if it decides to do that.

I take another sip of my water and decide to get back to my project. As it turns out sharpening a rock whit another rock is harder than you might think. i ask my little dark-birb to get me some thatch as i continue to struggle whit the sharpening of rocks. after finally getting a good rock out of the many failed attempts. I then went on to try and make some shoddy rope out of the thatch dark-birb brought me. Finally after a long while i had made a really sketchy looking spear not as long as a full length spear but longer than the spike about twice as long. Harley and company returned right after that whit more food and i ate lunch 3 apples in total. I'd say my diet is definitely a little on sided but i don't exactly have any way to cook meat around here yet. Whit 10 MP i decided to get me two more Dark-rats since they where going on the food and water team. And i thought that having just a single cat watching me sleep was enough.

I decided to open the book too just too check out if anything had changed

Achievements:

Feral slayer: Slay 3 Ferals

Feral what's a feral? is that the goblin monkey things? I mean whit their sharp teeth and clawed hands i guess they do look quite feral they don't even have thumbs. on top of that they also have totally red eyeballs which is kind of freaky. and they're green which is my least favorite color from now on. Yellows way better anyway. well guess I'll call them ferals then. And like that it became evening. Harley and company which now consisted of 3 dark rats came back whit a whole 5 apples. I'm not going to do it. not gonna even think about. How do-. No I'm not going to think it! Never! Not even once. I eat the apples before succumbing to further temptation. Then i made another paper-fox for the hunting team. Harvey came back whit his scouting report. Apparently he checked the farmer we keep 'borrowing' food from. And it seems he's set up some traps Harvey found all of them though so guess that's a problem solved. After that i promptly went to bed. Next day it was basically just more of the same send Harley and co out for food and water and Harvey and co out for ferals. get the dark birb that's left to bring me resources like sticks small rocks and thatch to alleviate my boredom.
