I had a dream about one of the OCs I made a while ago (also murder mystery theater).

I know back in March I was discussing different AUs and OCs I could use for future projects, and I had a few issues with one that made me think I should axe that project, so I kind of put them on the wayside. (And hey, since we have been talking about neglecting certain OCs...)

My first problem was that I had four (fifth route scientist path absolutely not) different directions the AU hedgehog could go, but each way would require the OC to have a different personality and backstory. I wound up calling them Omelas, Yossarian (like Catch-22), POW, and Victorian mystery illness as placeholder names. Actual names would come much later. The other issue is that I later found out someone else had some similar ideas, but the ideas for each are different so I think it should be fine.

Either way, it was just a little too complicated to be viable, I thought.

But I had a dream this week that made me realize I could do all of the backstories and plots, if I split the one hedgehog into four different characters with intertwining stories.

Also, much more Flower Hill corruption than I originally had planned, but works out better.

It is kind of long, and only has basic ideas I want for the plot, so I'll put it under a read more.

Omelas

Some Flower Hill generals (or other high ranking position in the army) secretly invade some villages outside the borders of Flower Hill and abduct hedgehogs to pad their numbers. After all, the weasels will run out of bodies at some point, so they might as well throw some bodies that are not from Flower Hill at them.

Omelas is the child of a Korean/Ainu style village in which children are raised communally (and maybe girls aren’t given names until marriage, that is a regional thing in the past), and the hedgehog in question is just treated as an 'extra burden' since they are female. The area itself speaks a specific language dialect since it has been remote for generations, but the village head has been discouraging that.

The young hedgehogs are taken by the generals and sergeants, who mark them as Flower Hill hedgehogs trying to escape conscription, so no one asks many questions, especially since many of them can't give proper names, so other soldiers think they are lying. The military leaders involved get large bonuses for capturing deserters, as well as for how many conscripts they have under them, so two birds one stone.

Eventually, most of the other non Flower Hill hedgehogs die in battle, while the survivors plan rebellions behind the scenes.

Omelas, possibly as part of a ploy by the group to 'send a message,' causes a scene including destruction and threatening Flower Hill in the other dialect one day, that gets herself in trouble. The military police during the trial finds absolutely no record of her existing in Flower Hill before the army, which backs up the stories that had been going around, uncovering the corruption. The investigation unit that has to come in realizes that they now have an international incident on their hands if anyone finds out, and also if the records have been falsified, then there are an untold number of angry foreign hedgehogs planning a rebellion, and they don't know where they are.

Omelas is sent to work on a farm as punishment for the incident she caused, and also to keep them out of the way while Flower Hill tries to figure out what to do about the abductions (probably nothing, most of them are dead anyway, and it could be easier for the others to be written off as weasel sympathizers and ‘gotten rid of’), especially since the villages no longer consider the missing hedgehogs their own.

I kind of want her to be named after a mushroom. I really like the name Enoki/Enokitake, but that is a Japanese word, and it is Pine Mushrooms (songi beoseot) that are the major delicacy in North Korea, so I have to work on that.

But either way, she hates Flower Hill from the bottom of her heart, but also knows the weasels would kill her, so she has to bide her time and hope the rest of the survivors do their part.

Yossarian:

A young hedgehog from a family where each member has an impressive military career, especially in sniping (almost wondering if she should be related to Wonsi, my other hedgehog OC from a sniper family, but those AU ideas are not connected). When she was young, she found a sick and starving mouse child who had crossed the border and tries to help them, only for a squirrel friend a few years older than her to murder the child for being one of the enemy. Everyone praised the squirrel (possibly because they thought they might be next), who later went on to be a squad leader/general, which makes Yossarian question Flower Hill and why everyone outside needs to die, especially if they are too weak to be an issue. She doesn’t question the war or conscription in general, though, just why she has to do it.

Since she is an excellent sniper during conscription, her term limits keeps getting raised, and she is put in an 'exception' group. Like in Catch-22, this group can only end the conscription if they go on a set amount of missions, but that number keeps getting raised whenever they near the cap.

The leader of the group (I don't know military terms and commander seems to be wrong here) is the squirrel friend, who offers to let her out if she marries him in a televised wedding to show off Flower Hill's unity. At some point he forges paperwork saying that everyone in the unit has decided to stay in the military full time for another two years (have not decided if the 'exception group' explanation was a lie he came up with). Most of the group is happy that they did not have to waste the time filling out the paperwork, but others fall into depression, disrupting the unity of the unit.

Thus, Yossarian feels trapped and resents Flower Hill, while also feeling very protective of the few squad-mates she likes, and starts sniping enemy mice and weasels in the shoulders, in such a way that they can never hold guns again, but can still otherwise work. This earns her a reputation with the Weasel Unit. Killing someone brings no joy, but she finds it disturbing how excited she gets to wound someone, since it means they can finally be free, as she wishes to be.

But what would she even do outside of the army? Be a farmer? That would be disgraceful for the family, but can they really see themselves as being a part of the military or marrying the squirrel forever?

Finally, Yossarian snaps and assaults the commanders themselves when they call her in to send her on a long mission, screaming about the lies and false paperwork, which surprises and confuses them (also the squad mates who thought she was happy), because would have assumed she would be happy to work for Flower Hill in that way (oh, but there are a few like her every now and then, but they usually wash out earlier), but yes, that squirrel should not have done that.

He only gets a slap on the wrist, and Yossarian is 'diagnosed' with combat fatigue and stress due to expectations, but still needs to be punished, and is sentenced to work on a farm.

Meanwhile, a small investigation is started.

POW

A failed squirrel scout who gets captured and is a POW for a while before being rescued. But it is assumed he must have talked or turned, and is sent to a detention/re education facility instead to figure out what information they gave (he gave nothing). The detention facility actually does worse than what the weasels did to him, emotionally at least. Flower Hill was supposed to care about him, but they have completely betrayed him, and are not giving his injuries proper medical attention. Also, he is really afraid to go back out, considering everything he had gone through. Even the friends who are allowed to visit look at him as if they think he is weak and pathetic somehow.

He is not actually supposed to be in the detention facility. His commanding officer was a nepotism hire who accidentally gave him the wrong information, and then forged evidence of him being turning traitor to cover up his mistakes. Or maybe was even bribed by the weasel unit to give him over, and the rescue is a ‘problem’ for whatever deals he has going on if anyone looks too closely at the capture. No one in the facility questions the paperwork, though, and don’t explain anything to the squirrel.

This can go two ways:

POW eventually goes into sepsis from the injuries (maybe appendicitis, although really just humans, monkeys, possums, and rabbits who get that but hey, fiction?), and is only saved by the his old drill Sargent who was brought in to scream about what a disgrace he was, but recognized he was dying. That, or the facility gets raided by the Weasel Unit, and some enemy soldiers recognize him and appear so genuinely concerned about his health that he accidentally confesses and answers all their questions. Maybe both.

Or, he agrees to go back out on another mission so he can leave the facility. The handlers falsify some records to say he is fully retrained and recovered, but upon joining up with the Weasel Unit in disguise, has a panic attack and goes catatonic, which combined with his other health issues, freaks out the mice. The doctors turn out to be his original interrogators, who send him back because his reappearance in such a way actually answers the majority of the questions they had been asking about Flower Hill the first time they captured him, so they have no need of him anymore.

The workers could actually be fired or jailed for what they did to him, so they write it off as him developing sympathies for the enemy and helping them (perhaps albeit under duress) which nets him a labor sentence on a farm (especially if they spin it as he somehow brought the weasel unit to attack the facility and let them in). But his physical injuries linger, making it difficult for him to work, and there may be quite a few mental issues involved, which only gets worse as actual investigations begin and find him at the center of the turmoil. Also the drill Sargent starts asking a lot of questions.

Victorian Mystery Disease.

Basically a hedgehog with a failure to thrive issue. They have been sickly since birth with some sort of fatigue disorder, which everyone assumes is laziness. No matter how hard he tries, he cannot move very far without feeling exhausted and slowing down. Maybe some chronic pain issues as well.

Eventually he gets diagnosed as a malingerer, and as punishment to 'fix him,' he is sent to a farm to labor as punishment.

He is very upset about this, and has been frustrated his entire life with his inability to be 'normal,’ like everyone else.

Honestly, I’m kind of thinking Fibromyalgia. I’d didn’t expect to find this term when looking up symptoms as I was about to post, I was going to leave it open ended or give them regular anemia problems.

Murder Mystery

As I said in the original post, The idea for all of this came from when I was playing The Murder of Sonic the Hedgehog the day it came out (those actual playtime segments were really stressful and made my mind jump around), and I did want a train to be involved at some point.

Which serves as a good meeting point for the characters, while they are being transported to the farm. They can't exit the train, so they are mostly allowed to roam free.

So, it could start en media res, which each of the four accidentally getting drunk at different points and bemoaning their problems. (Omelas because her guard suggested she tries a drink because she will never get the chance again, Yossarian to drown the stress and shame, POW to steady his nerves because he saw Weasel Unit soldiers, and Vic because it was an accident).

A bartender has the most horrifying night of his life, making him question his habits of getting strangers drunk to listen to their life stories, and briefly reconsider his alliance to Flower Hill.

A foreign reporter has the most fascinating day of her life.

The Poirot style international detective is very concerned.

Meanwhile, the train tracks have been switched, stranding the train in the snow, while several prominent people on board are murdered one by one, and the four are some of the prime suspects...

The Farm

The original plan was for the farm to be at the ocean. But that would provide too many opportunities to escape (although weasel unit infiltration would be easier). I am actually thinking of making the punishment farm be in Dol Jogagga, the rock carving/sculpting village I made up. After all, the sculptures are important for international relations, so they could use some help with the farms.

And they were roommates.

The four live in one small farmhouse together and farm what they can. They are told that if they can manage a certain amount of harvest several times in a row, then they can go back to the rest of Flower Hill.

They dislike each other either for being foreign or for being weak, but eventually heal and unlearn propaganda, maybe. Which is the opposite of what was supposed to happen.

So, basic farming, recovery, and slice of life in this village. Dol Jogagga is protected with enough sentries that there is almost no way to escape without them noticing. But they are remote enough to not stigmatize the laborers like the rest of Flower Hill. In fact, they are a little suspicious of the commanders, and can feel sympathy for the four, so are relatively nice to them, and try and help the best they can. Also remote enough to have their own dialect as well, which the four sometimes accidentally use, to the amusement of the villagers.

Maybe some enemies to lovers with Omelas and Yossarian. POW and Vic can just vibe as roommates and try and fix/understand their illnesses together.

Omelas learns that life does not have to be a tragedy and starts to relax a bit. Maybe starts growing mushrooms and starts a successful business. Everyone else learns to find farming very relaxing.

The corrupt investigative officers and other officers realize that the four are actually enjoying themselves, and people are asking too many questions, but cannot change the punishments because it turns out they got kickbacks from them in the first place. Plus, changing the punishments would bring even more suspicion upon everyone involved in the corruption plots, so they try and trick them into leaving on occasion.

Corrupt investigative officers/military police keep coming by to try and make the four confess to something since otherwise they know too much. Maybe sometimes Weasel Unit scouts do sneak into the village and shenanigans ensure.

Anyway, thanks to the hurricane, it has been raining for days here, and some parts of my area have been evacuated. I'm uphill, at least.

But it had me dreaming that it was a hazy, pleasantly humid, raining midday afternoon. The type of day when the chores are done, and there is not much to do. The hedgehogs and squirrel are cuddled up at the entrance way of the house, either drinking tea or mushroom soju, sliding door opened. In the distance, one of the nosy and aggressive investigators has arrived to harass them again, but since it was an unsanctioned visit, did not know the exact house, and are falling into muddy fields, getting further and further away.

It was very relaxing.

[occasionaltouhou]

Gah, not even cooked shiitake? And judging from your statement, enokitake is certainly out of the question...

Oh, and no mush means your fried tofu options are so limited. What a tough customer. Well, as long as you like meat, it's probably okay. If I ever meet you, I'll lower myself to cooking for a mere human. No stringy and mushy stuff, and whatever else you dislike.

my suffering is endless but i appreciate your efforts to accommodate me nonetheless. in this world we must do all we can for one another

6. Lastly

1. Meal design with a balance of nutrition and taste in mind

・What a 500kcal diet means

The number of 500 kcal is very practical for a calorie intake per meal. The average Japanese adult woman's daily energy requirement is about 1,800 to 2,000 kcal. If this is divided into 3 meals, it is desirable to have less than 600 kcal per meal, and a menu that can be satisfied while meeting that standard is extremely important for dieting. By combining high-quality ingredients rather than extreme calorie restrictions, it is a foundation that prevents nutritional bias and supports continued health.

・The relationship between nutritional density and satiety

Nutritional density is an indicator of how many nutrients can be consumed with the same calorie content. Foods with high nutritional density are rich in vitamins, minerals, and dietary fiber in small amounts. Specifically, vegetables, fish, soy products, etc. fall under this. In addition, the amount of dietary fiber is important to bring a feeling of fullness, and by increasing the number of chewings and the time spent in the stomach, you can naturally prevent overeating. From this point of view, the menu introduced this time is a reasonable structure.

2. Satisfaction determined by the main course: salmon with mushrooms

・Nutritional value of salmon and its effectiveness in diet

Salmon is a nutritious ingredient that is also called "superfood of the sea". Omega-3 fatty acids called EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) are particularly noteworthy. Studies at home and abroad have reported that these work to reduce triglycerides and keep blood smooth. In addition, salmon has the characteristics of high protein and low fat, which helps to maintain muscles and promote metabolism. Cooking with a low salt salt also leads to the prevention of swelling.

・How to make and arrange mushrooms

By using multiple mushrooms, the aroma and umami are produced in a multi-layered way. The crispness of the enokitake, the slight bitterness of the bunashimeji, and the thickness of the nameko are exquisitely intertwined, giving depth to the sauce. The basic seasoning liquid that combines soy sauce and mirin with Japanese-style soup stock is familiar to the taste of Japanese people and becomes a seasoning that you will never get tired of. Potato starch for thickening creates a thickening that can give you a sense of satisfaction even with a small amount. By adding green onions and large leaves to this, the freshness of flavored vegetables is added, and the appearance and taste are greatly improved.

3. The strength of a side dish: sweet potato yogurt salad

・The mechanism by which sweet potatoes prepare the intestines

Sweet potatoes contain a good balance of both water-soluble and insoluble dietary fiber. It is known that this activates the good bacteria in the intestine and improves the intestinal environment. It also contains indigestible starch called resistant starch, which has the effect of preventing a sharp rise in blood sugar levels. This has the effect of lowering the GI value (blood sugar rise index) and helps to maintain a feeling of fullness after eating. It also prevents snacks during dieting, and also contributes to improving constipation and preventing rough skin.

・Aim for synergy with yogurt and walnuts

Plain yogurt increases the number of good bacteria in the intestines through the action of lactic acid bacteria and contributes to improving immunity. In addition, lactic acid from yogurt is also expected to stimulate the intestinal wall and promote defecation. Walnuts contain omega-3 fatty acids, which are combined with sweet potatoes and yogurt to further enhance the function of the intestines. In addition, the crispy texture of walnuts adds accents to the entire salad and stimulates the satiety center by increasing the number of chewings. It is a dish with an exquisite balance of sweetness, sourness, and fragrance.

4. Vegetable soup with a full of nutritious ingredients

・How to choose ingredients and nutritional balance

Vegetable soup is not "just a dish to boil". Depending on the type and combination of vegetables used, the nutritional value and the depth of taste vary greatly. Carrots are rich in β-carotene and have the effect of boosting immunity, and onions contain an antioxidant called quercetin. Celery not only adds fragrance as a flavored vegetable, but also contains a lot of dietary fiber and potassium, which makes it easier to excrete excess salt from the body. Potatoes are rich in vitamin C carbohydrates and help replenish energy.

"Which vegetables to choose" is very important for health awareness. For example, by changing the combination every season, such as mainly root vegetables in winter and incorporating a lot of green and yellow vegetables from spring to summer, it will be easier to match the rhythm of nature and physical condition. This is a common idea in Ayurveda and Oriental medicine, and a diet that emphasizes the seasonality has been passed down for a long time to improve the balance in the body.

・The delicious taste of vegetables brought out by the cooking method

To finish the soup deliciously, the stir-frying method and stewing time are the key points. In particular, by slowly frying onions, the sweetness and umami are brought out, and the overall taste is deep. This is due to a chemical reaction called the "Maillard reaction", in which heating reacts with amino acids and sugars, creating a fragrant flavor and color.

Rather than stewing vegetables all at once, if you add them in order, you can leave the texture of each and give the soup individuality. If you add carrots and potatoes that are difficult to cook first, and cabbage and celery later, you can keep the color beautiful without crumbling. By minimizing the seasoning and finishing with the umami of vegetables as the main ingredient, it becomes a healthy dish with less salt.

5. Persimmon pudding to enjoy the taste of autumn

・Nutrients and effects contained in persimmons

Persimmon is a nutritious fruit that has been said for a long time in Japan that "doctors turn blue when persimmon turns red". It contains a balanced content of vitamin C, β-carotene, potassium, dietary fiber, etc., and is characterized by a particularly strong antioxidant effect. Vitamin C is effective in preventing colds, β-carotene is effective for skin health, and potassium is effective in improving swelling, respectively.

Persimmon has a soft flesh and a natural sweetness, so you don't need to add a lot of sugar to get enough taste. If you are concerned about the high sugar content, you can make a dessert with only the natural sweetness by choosing a well-ripe persimmon. It is also rich in dietary fiber, which helps to improve the intestinal environment, helping to prevent a sharp rise in blood sugar levels after meals.

・The possibility of eating expanded by making pudding

Persimmon pudding is a cold dessert that takes advantage of the sweetness of the fruit. By using gelatin, a plump texture is created, and it is a fun dish to contrast with the fleshy texture of the persimmon. It goes well with milk and fresh cream, and the mouthfeel is creamy but the aftertaste is refreshing.

The beauty of the appearance is also directly related to appetite. If you serve it in a glass bowl, the orange persimmon and white pudding layer will form a layer, increasing visual satisfaction. In addition, if you add mint leaves or yogurt sauce as a topping, the taste will change and you can enjoy it without getting bored until the end. This dessert, which brings out the new charm of persimmons, can be said to be a seasonal and luxurious way to enjoy.

6. Lastly

A healthy diet is not just about "restriction" or "patience". Incorporating seasonal ingredients and surrounding a colorful table brings peace of mind and joy to your daily life. The balance menu in the 500kcal range introduced this time is a recipe that can balance nutrition without spending too much effort.

Cooking is also a means of connecting people and conveying emotions and culture. Try to add a little ingenuity to your daily menu, aiming for a dish that can deliver nutrition to your mind while eating a meal that is good for your body. By doing so, you should be able to see a "healthy way of life" more than the purpose of dieting.

Being healthy, not giving up on deliciousness, and above all, enjoying food in everyday life lead to long-term healthy habits. Let's face our body through the table and cultivate our own beauty and health.

I think you might live in some kind of food desert.

I live in expensive city Los Angeles and the Ralph’s/Kroger midrange chain grocery sells a 24 oz, 15 slice sourdough loaf with no added sugar for $4.49 and a 22 oz unsliced Italian loaf with no added sugar for $5.99.

This is the weekly ad for a Korean-American chain supermarket that operates in my area.

I could go to H Mart tomorrow and buy 10 lbs apples for $10, 10 lbs mandarins for $10, 2 large watermelons for $12, 30 lbs rice for $16, 8 packages of enokitake for $16, 8 lbs salmon for $64, 20 lbs onions for $15, a pound of red pepper paste for $2, 22 oz of sesame oil for $10, and 10 lbs sweet potatoes for $14 and still have only spent $169. To get up to $200 I could spend $25 dollars on 10 pounds of chicken and $6 on 8 pounds of cabbage. For two people, that’s 4 lbs fish, 5 lbs poultry, 15 lbs dry rice, 19 lbs vegetables, >10 lbs fruit, and >1 lb mushrooms per person. 55 pounds of food per person, counting rice by dry weight.

These are not even the cheapest food prices available to me. This is the weekly ad for Superior Grocers:

Instead of 69¢/lb napa cabbage, 33¢/lb green cabbage. Instead of 2.49/lb chicken, 1.99/lb pork. Instead of 1.49/2lb sweet onions, .99/2lb white onions. 3.99/lb for shrimp instead of 5.99.

I don’t doubt that you have to spend >$200/week on groceries for yourself and your partner. Dietary restrictions or preferences, time or energy restrictions on cooking so much fresh food, lack of access to grocery stores with deals like this, and many more reasons can make buying food at these prices completely untenable. I’m not pointing this out to tell you to stop being a silly billy and buy cheaper groceries. But your situation is not the universal American condition. A lot of us can access groceries at much less than $800/2 people/month.

I wanna know who the balls started the rumor that there's no good bread in America. Like I've seen a surprising number of Europeans leave comments on TikTok where they claim that there's nowhere to buy fresh baked bread in the US or that the bread that's available here has so much sugar that it would be considered cake everywhere else in the world. Like I get that people think the food in America is dogshit for a variety of well know reasons (also not true but that's a separate convo) but how did the bread thing in particular start like it's way too specific
