Right, so I guess it's about time I finally said something here,

I'm officially putting this blog on hiatus.

As any of you following my main blog will know, I kinda lost interest in pikmin a little while back. Not to say I don't still love it! I just don't really have the motivation for it anymore to keep making content for it. So, I'm finally saying something here about that, just so none of you are still waiting for the next update, haha.

Anyway. Thanks to everyone who's stuck around this long! It was fun while it lasted.

Can we get a head count? How many of each pikmin you have available, reserves, etc.

Olimar: let me go check...

RED PIKMIN: 3,243

YELLOW PIKMIN: 2,935

BLUE PIKMIN: 2,916

WINGED PIKMIN: 2,184

ROCK PIKMIN: 2,267

PURPLE PIKMIN: 732

WHITE PIKMIN: 751

Olimar: ...Well! Seems like there are not shortages there!

Olimar do a pikmin chirp sound thingy

Can i yeet a jar of nectar at Charlie? :D

((None of the Koppaiates are currently available for questions (or nectar yeets) but send this again when they come back, and you absolutely can.))

[gently handing olimar a cookie] helo

((Thanks for the cookie, though. I needed something to feed those spiders.))

[once-a-captain]

You used a spear, at the very least. (I wonder if your body somehow remembers how to use it?)

Olimar: I... suppose it's good to know these are here, if I need them, but I think- I think I'll just rely on the pikmin to keep me safe for now.

Olimar: I suppose I should keep looking to see if there's a larder or something around here... there are still two buildings it could be in!

[once-a-captain]

Olimar would you trow yourself at enemies and hit them with your leaf?

Olimar: In that case, yes, I suppose it makes sense why someone might make weapons here.

[once-a-captain]

What’s in the Southwest building

Olimar: Was someone- Was I making weapons?

I love how when the Koppites left, the others left with only a glance or two back, while Alph was waving goodbye just like 'Bye friend!!'

((Haha yeah. Charlie feels bad about leaving Olimar behind, but he sees its the best course of action, so he's trying to keep his goodbye short. Brittany is still on the fence about whether she likes Olimar or not, and if bringing him back was worth risking their mission or not. But Alph is the only one who's actually talked to him at all, so he's pretty much already Olimar's adopted son.))

Maybe see what the other bindings are? Maybe pikmin homes, or food storage for you! You must be hungry after all that

Olimar: looks like there are four main buildings... I know the northwest one is the living quarters, that's where the pikmin brought me last night. But I have no idea what the other three are.

Olimar: there are also a few watchtowers along the fort's wall. It looks like they give access to a walkway along the top of the wall.

[once-a-captain]

Hey Olimar! You should walk around the camp! Maybe explore a little and see if it helps you remember anythin!

[once-a-captain]

I mean, the koppaits may have killed you. But they also saved you afterwords. So, uh, maybe you can help them out woth saving their planet?

Olimar: All I remember about the planet is what I learned before I-... before the Dolphin crashed, and even then, it's very blurry and... it's just hard to think about.

Olimar: I... think I need to stay here for a bit. In the fort.

Charlie: We're quickly approaching three days now without any progress towards our goal, we have millions of people relying on us, and in his current condition... We really just can't spend more time doing anything other than locating our drive key or collecting fruit.

Olimar: I need to figure some things out before I think I can be much help to anyone.

Charlie: ...

Charlie: Alright. Yeah.

Charlie: Alph, Brittany, come on, let's pack it up, we have work to do!

Charlie: We'll... We'll come back in a few days, to check on you.

((The Koppaiates are no longer available for questions))

[once-a-captain]

What have you observed so far of how the pikmin act around Olimar?

Alph: Don't get me wrong, they're plenty friendly with us! They follow us around and do as we command, and they let us pick them up and carry them. It seems like we're they're leaders and their friends...

[once-a-captain]

What are your thoughts on the Purple and White pikmin koppaites?

Alph: I haven't seen any evidence of a purple or white onion yet, though... I wonder where they come from?

[once-a-captain]

Is Charlie going to end up with any baggage from this whole "killing a man" thing. You know. On top of the "being eaten alive" thing and.... Whatever happened when he was in the military.

[once-a-captain]

All nectar yeets have been accepted. That one spider yeet however.... Do you still have the jar of spiders??????

[once-a-captain]

The one (1) time nectar yeeting was acceptable

((I don't know that I've ever not accepted a nectar yeeting...!))
