    Updates

    So, update status on Project Hive and Wasteland Bouquet, and some real-world projects that have been eating up my time.

    Project Hive: I swear I had a chapter in progress, but I can't find it after not working on it for a couple of months due to IRL stuff. I think it's on my computer, and not the laptop I normally write on, but where I might have saved it is a mystery.

    Well, I finally did it. All the stuff that's kept me crazy busy or just plain unable to focus on the many, many things I had going on, and I got the time to finish watching Friendship is Magic.

    WOW.

    I Saw That Coming

    So, a few minutes agao I was playing with my new BB gun (a spring-powered revolver), happily bouncing the little plastic BBs off a piece of paper. A large spider crawls out of the cupboard. Wolf spider, or something similar. Horrible crawling biteyness. Not something you want running up your leg.:twilightoops:

Wasteland 2: The Wasteland Bouquet Adventures Part 2 · 6:44am Sep 22nd, 2014

Part 2 is here! Some hints for the game this time around. Try some of the things the group did, you might be surprised.:raritywink:
Part 1

Wasteland 2 - The Wasteland Bouquet Adventures

From the journal of Caravan Lily

Well... um... we're Rangers now. Like, officially. Vargas gave us all badges and a radio. We're Echo Team now, apparently.

He didn't want us to make a delivery. See, one of his Rangers kinda... died, and he wanted us to go check it out, finish his mission. Something to do with radio towers. Rose knows more about it than me.

We left the Ranger Citadel and headed off for where the Ranger was found. This world is wierd, and kinda dusty, but at least we can see the sky. No selfish pegasuses pegasi here!

So, we made it to the antenna just fine, and some joker tries to get cash out of us in return for going near it! I confused him, saying that if the antenna was his backyard like he said, then the whole place was the Ranger's front yard, so we could go anywhere we wanted.
Magpie said I was being a smart-arse. I think it's just that a lot of these hoomins are stupid enough to fall for a trick like that.

We fixed the antenna, but there was a lot of oil leading away from it, and none of the stuff we were meant to find nearby. We followed the oil trail into a cave, in case it was in there.

It was. There was a giant frog there, too. Rose blew it up. I still don't know where she found a bomb, but I wish I'd been standing further away. Ick.

Long story short, we found a robot hoomin and all the Ranger's stuff. Rose's paw hand got zapped when she started playing with the robot, so we left it there and set out back for the Citadel. Of course, we barely got moving before we get a call on the radio.

The Agriculture Center was in trouble, and guess who was close enough to help? That's right, Alpha Team! Wait, no, they were off somewhere else. We were the only Ranger team anywhere near it, so off we trotted!.. is it really trotting? We don't have hooves anymore, so... I dunno.

Little side note: Watch the weather. Some radioactive clouds blew in while we were going through a valley, and we had to wait it out in a cave.
Rose found a rocket launcher in there. Who the heck stashes a rocket launcher in a cave?!

Anyway, we got to the Ag Center and-

Hello Lily's journal. Rose here. Lily is running around screaming because Fluffy landed on her head while she was writing, so I'm going to finish her entry. Lily is silly sometimes. He just wants to play with her hat. It's what giant moths do.

The people at the Ag Center are nice. We helped them.

All the plants started growing extra huge and going crazy. The animals did as well. And the bugs. Lily doesn't like the bugs. Not even Fluffy.
Ibis got bit by a rabbit. He and Magpie are cooking it. It's as big as a pony.

Someone was mean and sabotaged the irrigation systems. Why would anyone want to make evil plants? That's just silly.
It's better now though. We fixed it.

Oh, Fluffy is back. Lily, too. She looks mad. Where is her hat?

Lily here. We're being sent out again. This time we're headed for Highpool. Ranger Citadel says their antenna is broken; I guess they want us to fix it.
...
Fucking moth ate my hat.

Major events so far:
The group has reached and saved the Ag Center.
Rose broke a wall, kicked down several doors and got blown up by several trapped crates.
Lily's revolver jammed repeatedly. Rose fixed it.
Ibis was swarmed by bunnies.

I feel like I'm missing out a bit due to my lack of familiarity with Wasteland 2, but this is still funny. :)

2474276 You'd get a bit more out of it if you played the game, but it's not completely needed.:twilightsheepish:
This is more for fun than anything else. More fun while playing the game, a bit of fun to write, and fun to be read.:twilightsmile:

Oh, I got that; if it wasn't, you'd be publishing it as a story rather than a series of blog posts.

"Ibis was swarmed by bunnies." :rainbowlaugh: This just get's better and better, forget about being serious in the Wasteland, this is a comedy for our sake! Ooh, and Fluffy too :trollestia: Poor Lily...At least she can feel superior around the stupid hoomins :yay:

2474414 So many bunnies... they were everywhere... all jumping... and biting... so much biting...:applecry:
