CHAPATA 1: a handful of darkness
Rolery sneaks off to see the farborn town by the sea and she doesn't like looking into people's faces. it is implied she is a native to this planet. AND I ASSUME FARBORN R NETT!! :B
There's a causeway to an island and the tide comes in fast and ehh a black farborn kid mind talks to her to save her from the tide (ruuunn dummy runnnn) but the farborn aren't supposed to mind talk the locals. seems the natives think mindtalking is like getting posessed or whatever like they could make them to stef against their will.
Also Rolery thinks glass is transparent rock loooool. Well. I mean that kind of is what it is but whatever.
also! the causeway over this black island is long deserted! net used no more!

that's a lot of info about the beginning of the book! you're welcome indeed! i'm pretty quick that way tbh. ;pipe; what's funny is the natives call themselves human and the farborns alien (obvs) but i'm not sure they are any more original human than the farborns are!@# they're just the locals! WELL THAT SHOWS WAD U NO CUZ IN CHPTA 2 WE GO TO ONE OF THE LOCAL LEADERS AND HE DUN LOOK AT TEH FARBORN FACE EITHER!@# ONLY SIDE GLANCES!@#$ ;stuburn; he kind of self brain talks to his good self: OOOHHH THE FARBORNS ARE SO COCKY AND ARROGANT LOOKING RIGHT AT PEOPLE'S FACES OOHH!@$#@#$@#@#$ CHPTA 2: In the red tent The Gaal are coming and Wold (leader's name and Rolery's papa) doesn't really believe it cuz he is old and thinks he knows everything. Winter is coming and they are making their winter rock earth home. Many wives. Had a farborn wife once but they can't reproduce. seems like women are an afterthought to the men like Wold. literally doesn't remember some of their wives and barely remembers even hasing Rolery or her name or anything. kind of makes fun of the farborns for only hasing 1 wife. ;dumbstupids; also! the farborn guy is there trying to warn Wold aboot the Gaal and make an alliance with him to help fight them off. apparently there's only a couple thousand farborns as they aren't too adapted to this planet. there used to be a lot more but their numbers is slowly dwindling. I THINK MAYBE THEY IS IN EXILE! (book title hintspice)

you're welcome again, we have the magical luck of having this fine place. yeah, i remember that being a tiny bit confusing. like, wait, who's human? everyone right? how human are these things? there eyes are all weird or something. :B no. haah. i was saying that rolery doesn't want to loog at farborn faces, but is fine with her own peoples' faces. ur words implied that it was some rolery problem, and it is, but it is a all natives problem. they dun like the farborns eyes or something. creeps them out. maybe makes them feel like their being mind probed since they know the farborn can do that, even tho they try not to do that to the locals. wait, or am i not remembering. do the locals not even loog at each other!?!? obvs from above comment that is wad i thought. but maybe the locals are so weird they dun loog at anyone. but i didn't members that. :B yeah, the locals and that leader are pretty aggravating. but they're pretty backwoods. also the farborn are dying off cuz they can't has kids with locals and they ain't got enough of their own stock to keep things going. apparently. like they needed more gene variety or something. biology words. :B

yeah, i remember that being a tiny bit confusing. like, wait, who's human? everyone right? how human are these things? there eyes are all weird or something. :B MORE HUMAN THAN YOU, COCKBITE!@$#@$# ;cussing; ooh ok gotchu. also they dun interacts with teh farbornz too much. probably the whole mind probe deal again. too bad they dun has tin foil! they could keep their mindrays out! :B not sure yet. i will pay closer attention going forward who loogs at who wad way!!@!# yeah teh locals is like olden times tribal peeps. like old Ghengis!! only worse and not as good at war. :B 3: the true name of the sun (it's like "gamma centari" or something) the farborns know wad it is, the locals just call it "teh sun" of coarse. Several mentions of footroots creeping along the ground "with it's excruciating vegetable obstinacy" leaving tracks behind it. Five years is 10 generations? MAN THESE YEARS IS LOONG! no wonder they build a city for winter, WINTER LASTS HALF ME LIFE!@# Agat is the name of the leader of the men who reside in landin. Clinging to old things and barely hanging on. Hopes of a ship rescue long dead as their numbers get lower and lower. rolery looks at him sideways again as he walks back to his farborn town.

MORE HUMAN THAN YOU, COCKBITE!@$#@$# ;cussing; :embarrassed: yeah, they could try wrapping their heads in some sort of local coon fur. :dunno: :whew: keep me posted!
yeah, as you mentioned below you know they got teh super long years on this planet. so it's like this planet helped keep 'em backwoods cuz it's like they go underground for eons in the winter and then ... wait, is this the book where... i think i'm getting ahead of myself. anyway. these long years and this planet is part of teh problem keeping these poor folks from advancing. i think. call it wad u want cockborn! it's the fucking sun!
some local maybe.
sure thing man. you bet! oh baby. that's just the beginning!! whoo!@ iykwim

AYE AYE! :/ YOU ALMOST SPOILT TEH WHOLE THING!@# maybe. i dunno. sounds right. I DO NOT HEAR YOU!@# they like to say that. *agat makes rolery mindcum in her side looking mind face* :dunno; ch4: the tall young men ;leer; ehh. Wold calls a meating to order. he does this by banging rocks with everyone in a circle. they argue about whether to believe the farborn about this Gaal threat and if so wad to do aboot it. cuz if they send soldiers they might not has enuf peeps left behind to finish all the winter prep! anyway, after some back and forth they do send them out and the farborns are sending 350 of their own good self faces too. and so, we will see wad happun. CH5: snow! Agat sees snow and then is in a heap of beatings and trouble due to his forbidden rolery towning smh. he gets the snot kicked out of him and left for dead. rolery rolery's him home on some logs or something and stays with him as he heals up. and he asks her to marry him. also the alliance between the locals and the farborns is off due to this scandal of townings and beatings. so now we just wait and see wad heppun wif teh Gaal's. ;dunno;

make a helmet out of rocks maybe. they seem to like rocks. heavy but effective! :usehaid: er rocks i guess. :embarrassed: they're very stuburn. we've been doing it this way for a long time and it works and if we dun do it we are fucked! so, we do it this way. i believe it was a regular good ol towning. tho i bet he mind towns her just a little while he regular towns her. i assume. man, i remember all of this! those gals are in trouble now! whoo! *next chapter* oh. nevermind. i members this too. i guess it shows there, A LOT! also for like 60 years straight or something like that. cuz wasn't rolery fucked anyway cuz she was born in the wrong season so if she doesn't marry now she'll be in her 80s by the time the marry season rolls back arounf. so might as well town and marry a dumb ol farborn. my life sucks anyway!
I CAN'T BULEEV U ROONED MY DAUGHTER WHO I COULD NOT EVEN REMEMBER HER NAME!@ :B

AT LEAST THIS GUY CAN MINDTOWN ME! ;wub; 7: The Southing Jeez now umaksumet kills ukwet, and all because rolery wanted agats swolery 🤦♂️ Welp. Their winter city is overrun by gaal and Wold is old and can barely do anything. He does spear a guy tho ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ;hyper; and then wanders off towards his burning winter city. 8: in the alien city Rolery hasing a grand time with the old ladies of agats town 🙂 agat is off trying to fight / guerrilla warfare the gaals into passing by their town so rolery is alone with the womenfolk and they dun take too kindly to the rolery! ;hyper; rolery dun understand much about how they live alone in their big empty houses n stef. she is kind of ;umm; and then agat comes home yay!

exactly. rolery choices made good sense to me. so far her choices appear to be working out ok. wold's son umaksamet is mad that ukwet (some dumb yahoo) beat up agat and rooned their chance at fighting the gaal and so he axes him in the haid. but at that point it dun really matter, it is gaal overrunning the winter city times. not sure how big their city is, there's only a few thousand people still alive. more of a town. also yes not just a hick, and alien! it simply isn't done! and agat is like their leader guy and now he's with this rolery thing? SHE DOESNT' EVEN NO WAD A PAINTING IS. ;smh; ;hugerolleyes; 9: the guerrillas Agat and umaksumen save a couple hundred from tevar including wold and go back to landin. They think the gaal will likely come in a couple days to town their town too. Rolery mindspeaks agats name in his head and he likes it 🙂

ah, right. i forgotted about that part. sounds like ukwet deserved it bigtime! bigtime up and down my good brother! you ain't wrong brother! they think they're better than the locals but they dun even understand 90% of their own tech or anything. it's just fairy tales in an old booko! OH THEY'RE COMING BABY! LET'S GET NUTS!@# *george voice* 10: Teh Old Chief Wold wanders arounf as agat makes a plan for when the gaal comes (which he thinks is shortly, like in a few hours). i like Wold. he will argue and then forget wad he's mad aboot and kind of shrug and wander off. ahh well what's it matter now. so Agat sends Wold and a few other dudes with all the women and children over the causeway to the big black rock fort building thing where they can raise a drawbridge and be safe from teh gaal's. there's food and water for 500 moonphases ;dunno; rolery stays behind with her man. ;eyeflash; wold looks out and sees a blizzard a brewin. he self talks to his good self brain about how the gaal is towned and dun even no it! cuz they ain't seen no blizzard like wads coming for em. then he sits down and says: Well women! Is the slop ready?? ;HYPER;; ch:11 Siege of the City They thought the gaals was fleeing winter but they broke thru the sea gate. some farborn old lady was breakin teh law by trying to mindhear where they was n stef and said they was leaving! but apparently she isn't too gude at the mind hearing!!! cuz they has broked through a gate! oh and there were some catapulting rock times, and tosting javelin spears or whatever. but there's just too many gaals ovur dare. ch:12 Siege of teh Square They are holed up in four buildings of the town square. And a few of them seem to have infected wounds, which is confusing them cuz they dun get sick on this planet so..... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ lots of running arounf fighting in a blizzard. hard to see! halp! 13: the last day the storm breaks and teh gaal's make another push to take the farborn city square. rolery is down in teh basement working with their doctor on wounded and dying peeps. one of the farborn old ladies is dying of a spear thru teh neck, but she mindhears over to rolery that the gaal is gonna leave the next day cuz they is scared of winter and also this snowmonster beast thing that is roaming teh streets in the blizzard. (she mindhears this from teh gaals). snowghost? snowghoul? hmm.. can't recall. anyway, rolery and the doc figure out that the fact that some farborns are hasing their wounds get infected means they has adapted to the planet. ;leer; they've always hased to take enzymes to be able to even digest food from the planet! but in recent years some people hasn't had to. so! rolery thinks now maybe she can has an Agat son! ;wub; the doctor is less enthused about the prospect of interbreeding. on one hand it means they won't die out entirely. on the other, he fears they will lose their farborn identity and quit reading their books and stuff and just become a bunch of dumb local rockbangers. 14: teh first day agat kills teh snowghoul, teh gaals runs away, and everyone lurves happily ever after i guess? wold is daid tho and they hased a daid wold fire. teh end.

THIS IS PREPOSTEROUS!@# what's that? oh sure, i'll just go over here. let's get tah eatin!!!! :usehaid: yep, that's wad i remember. just too many. but they did a good job ovur dare. we used to has so much of teh city now we just has this little part! i guess that was a booko rephrase rephrase!! ur welcome! was this ever settled? did they has kids? i dun remember.
also i thought it was like the doc didn't even try to treat basic wounds with like cleaning and antibiotics cuz he's all, that's dumb. we dun need thut! they don't know why or anything. maybe they had nanobots but they is all daid now! :dunno: but, there probably changing into locals i suppose. have some of those BABIES!!
seems like there are worse fires to has. so wow. you read that fast! so now ur own to the last one? city o illusions ovur dare? ok. alright. i was realizing we BOTH read the left hand of darkness and liked it. i also see YOU'VE read the dispossessed but not me! wtf!

yeeess. but we're farborn. *clinks tea and eats some farcrumpets* pretty cocky for a race who can't even survive on the planet! smh tbh. at times reminds me of old dad quotes. WOMAN! WOOK! indeed godo chpa godo jeorb fight'n em off. jolly chap. we don't review booko's so much as we just rephrase them to each other! ;hyper; the way the book ended it was implied that's wad would happen, but it just kind of ended after the battle was done. correct the doctor didn't do anything cuz the local microbes had never done anything to the farborns. they literally had to take enzymes just to digest food, there was a tiny difference in molecular structure or some other science type words where they just didn't quite mesh with the planet's ecosystem. they never got sick, which was good. but also they couldn't procreate with the locals or actually digest food n stuff. not so good. but after 600+ years or whatever it's been they appear to have adapted to the planet now! woot! *towns tons of native hilfs* lol they called the locals hilfs. "heathen's i'd like to....?" ;leer; (it actually stands for high intelligence life form" from the hainish planet discovery rulebook or wadever) sorry brother that was a long time ago! i hope u didn't hurt your good self doing all that goodreads research! ;apple;

HORRIBLE MUSHMEAL NOW!@#$ yes farman. coming right up! it'll be better than hamwater this time! apparently he's moved on to wrecking it in other ways. apparently he had to drive it to some shop and it honked the whole time cuz he couldn't make it stop. :dunno: i figure he just had the alarm on. :B but anyway, we'll have some huge repair bill waiting for us when we get there along with the dead mice and coon poop.
this plan is working out splendidly. it's quite exasperating! (we secretly lurve it bigtime up and down) true, but it is very much work! man! i'm getting repetitive stress injuries and back problems!@# wow, they found the best hilf planet evar!@#
HEADQUARTERS 1!! WE HAVE HIT THE PLANET JACKPOT! i think we can just stop looging at planets now. roger. over and out!
i can't think of any. it's really just follow up questions once the hilf answer is yes. otherwise the response is just a well, i guess we can go see if we can strip this hellhole for resources. :mealt: i'll say! it's too late for me. but maybe the next people can be spaired@!!
