    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.

    Friendship is Magic: The Movie Review

    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 4 · 8:37am Sep 24th, 2014

Things take a turn for the familiar!:twilightoops:
Part 1
Part 2
Part 3

I swear I'm not making any of this up. The entire time I was playing through this area, I was laughing at the sheer coincidence of it.:rainbowlaugh:

Wasteland 2 - The Wasteland Bouquet Adventures

From the journal of Caravan Lily

I don't even know what to say... just... I hate mines. Hate them. Nothing good ever comes from mines.

After Vargas dumped this errand in our laps, off we went to see what all the fuss was about and help out if we could.

I tried to be optimistic. I really did. But if anyone ever asks me to go in a mine again, I'm telling Rose to hit them.

So... yeah. We got to the Level Up mines-

Rose here. It's pronounced Leve L'Upe, not Level Up.

-and it turns out there was a collapse and some of the miners were trapped inside. They wanted us to go in through the old tunnels, find the miners and give them some blasting caps so they could blast their way free. I wanted to know why they couldn't just leave through the old tunnels. The foreman said the old tunnels weren't safe.

So hey, why not get us to do it?! It's not like they had a camp full of hoomins who actually knew their way around down there or anything!

Stupid hoomins.

Okay... I'll admit, it wasn't as bad as they said. I mean, it's not like it collapsed on us, or anything. The tunnels were just fine.

The badgers were the problem.

Yep. Badgers. In a mine.

Celestia save us, there were fucking badgers in the mine! AGAIN!

Giant fucking badgers! WHY?! Did Discord follow us here?! Is he having a laugh or what?!

Massive zebra-dogs! Everywhere! Rose got chewed on so much, Ibis spent hours stitching her up afterwards! It would have been a lot worse, though, if she hadn't blown half of them up! My ears are still ringing! Rose doesn't know the meaning of restraint!

Rose again. I do too know what restraint means. To act with control or caution, from the Old Prench restreinte, meaning to keep one's actions in check.

I mean, sure, those things were huge and all, and they wanted to eat us, and they didn't give two shits about being shot in the face, but she used every damn stick of dynamite she had!
She could've brought the place down on our heads! It's like she likes causing cave-ins! Wasn't doing it once good enough for her?!

Rose again. The cave-in at Prospect wasn't my fault. Lily did it.

Ugh... anyway, eventually Rose ran out of things to explode badgers with, but the ones that were left didn't last long once we all started shooting them. Damn things are like hellhounds...

We found the miners, gave them the blasting caps, they blew an exit and we all got the hell out of there. Lotta happy miners, everyone loves Rangers, much yay, then we left.

Next stop, Ranger Citadel! And fuck Vargas if he thinks we're going out again without a break!

Major events so far:
The miners at the Leve L'Upe mines were saved.
Lily's revolver jammed again. Rose got bitten because of it.
Ibis is becoming quite skilled as a Field Medic.
General opinion of the Rangers is rising.

"General opinion of the Rangers is rising."
Note: Lily's opinion is not necessarily the general one. :)

"Lily's Revolver jammed again"
Lily, I know it's not your area of expertise, but do you just set it in mud every time you rest or something? :rainbowlaugh: Aaah, poor Lily. Get a better revolver dear! :trollestia:

2480660 It's not even a joke. Lily's revolver is the only weapon in the entire team to jam in every. Single. Area.:twilightoops:

2479553 It certainly isnt':rainbowlaugh:

It's a joke by the game itself, it knows how she is with guns! :trollestia:
