Day 30

Today marks the thirtieth day of me getting trapped inside this cavern. After I joined Blue Canary years ago, I never would have imagined I could ever stay in one place for a month at a time with the never ending quests and all. But now, I don’t have any choice but to stay in one place—digging and planting my nuts on the ground. How the turns have tabled!

Jokes aside, today was a busy day.

In the early morning, I spent several hours processing hundreds of nut plants that I harvested yesterday. Processing as in separating the nuts from the roots of the plants, and all that. I saved the nuts in three stone pots based on their color type—red, blue, yellow—and stacked the roots and the branches near the smokehouse to use as firewood later.

After that, I constructed the wall that I planned out last night. I constructed the wall curving from the West side of the tunnel’s opening to the East. It was designed that way to help guide the debris as I slid down-and-out the tunnel to the designated place for the pile of mining debris. And the wall did its job well. Did. As in it crumbled down after a dozen sessions.

It still held up better than yesterday’s wall, though, probably because of the new design. Suppose I need to construct a stronger, and thicker wall tomorrow morning.

Oh the efforts I need to put to have some fun in this darn cavern.

That said, I spent the rest of the evening making nut paste from uhm… the nuts. This has been like the third or fourth times I made nut paste since I was trapped in this place. I think I’ve gotten the hang of it by now.
