Logging Complaints

This planned story, written by Anke, Mutt and Vespers, will begin with some ferais emigrating from Terrimoire on Shade to set up their perfect society on a highly-forested planet (NPP).

Chat discussion below contains spoilers for the premise and plot.

Mutt: The "heavily forested" whateverIcalledit [that I mentioned in a Twine draft] is something that is also linked to Steamy.
Mutt: Ves may have forgotten, but we once talked about a group of ferais leaving Shade to set up their perfect wonderful civilisation in among all the pretty trees...
Mutt: And then loggers from the Flag arrive.
Vespers: i think I do remember that, yes
***Anke does, too
Mutt: Ah, I'd forgotten if you were there at that point, Anke. Hehe. I love ferais, really.
Vespers: the Flag's gonna do a lot of resource-hogging, so it makes sense to make at least some of it part of the story
Vespers: and.. what do the ferais do with all those lovely trees, again?
Anke: burn them, but in small batches?
Vespers: i though I remembered something about slash-and-burn farming..
Mutt: Yes.
Mutt: That's right. Perfect settlement surrounded by old-growth forest, with patches of secondary forest and cleared areas.
Mutt: And no stinking Soprones.
Vespers: haha
Vespers: poor ferais
Mutt: And especially none of those foul rocca.
Mutt: Which is a shame, because rocca are darn good at driving off irritating short people, whereas ferais, being average height and consequently comparatively delicately built, erm, aren't.
Mutt: I hope Anke'll join me for some guerrilla-resistance type action in that story. ;)
