[α.s1] Slowly reforming

[chalcedony_starlings]

There are things I'm feeling that I'd sort of like to say, but half of them might not make sense to anyone who isn't also made of birds. Otherkin problems, question mark?

My active population's only about fifty currently, though I'm more consciously unified than I was yesterday. Keeping things slow to reactivate is deliberate… I can make slower, more focused improvements on things that were hard to keep steady while everything was in operation.

It's weird being up without Teneb. Not bad, though. It's good practice, for now.

The queen ring construction I'm using right now is also much more focused than my zeroth revision came up with. I don't know if I'll want to keep using that with a higher population and more stuff going on or not.
