    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

From the journal of Caravan Lily

Finally got back to the Citadel! We delivered the dead Ranger's stuff, gave our report and Vargas agreed to give us a couple days to cool off. I'm heading to the mess hall. They've got stew, and I ain't missing out!

Hello again, Lily's journal. It's me, Rose.

Lily is in the mess hall again. She's friends with the cook.
The cook is named Hungry. He has a funny name. Why would a cook be hungry? Hoomins have strange names. He makes really nice stew though. Maybe his name is a joke?

I like the Ranger Citadel. They have a workshop and I'm allowed to use it whenever I want. Some of the hoomins asked me to look at their guns for them. I'm going to be very busy now. I hope I have time to go the the Ranger museum today. I like the stories Mister Flintlock tells.

I don't think Lily mentioned the museum. She's not allowed in there anymore. She almost blew us all up when she pressed a big red button.

Lily likes pressing big red buttons. I don't like it when she does that. I had to disarm the balefire egg launcher before it exploded.

I asked Mister Vargas why they have a balefire egg launcher in the museum. He called it a Day-V Crockpot launcher. They didn't think it was live.

Hoomins are silly sometimes.

Dammit Rose, stop writing in my journal!

No.

Anyway, Vargas is sending us out on patrol in a couple of days. No missions or anything, just routine checks with some farms and homesteads nearby.

I told Hungry about the giant rabbits at the Ag Centre; he wants us to bring some back so he can expand the menu. Sounds good to me.

Major events so far:
Lily almost blew up the Ranger Citadel. Rose fixed it.

Oh, the Davy Crocket Nuclear Bazooka. I should have known that would be the cause of a non-standard game over, but no, I had to press the shiny red button...

They dangled a shiny red button in front of me! A SHINY RED BUTTON! There was no hope!

>Lily almost (And inevitably) messed up big time< >Rose Fixed it (Again)<
I think I laugh at this more than I should, and the fact that I laugh harder each time only cements the fact that I'm attached to the characters :rainbowlaugh:
