    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 (slightly moth-eaten) journal of Caravan Lily

Looks like the Ag Center's got some work to do. Their giant plants got loose and started cropping up around the place; a couple of the places we had to check on our patrol were overgrown. We managed to save some civilians before the giant bugs could eat them, though.

On the plus side, I haven't seen that damn moth since we left the Citadel.

We radioed back to Vargas to let him know about the plants. He's sending out another team to deal with it, but he wants us to continue our patrol. Next stop, the Little Moscow Market!

Hello Lily's Journal. It's me, Rose.

Fluffy came back. He's playing with Lily again. She's chasing him and screaming. It looks like fun, but she dropped her revolver, so I have to fix it again.

I. Hate. Moths. I don't even have a hat anymore! Why the fuck does it keep going for my face?!

Right, I should really update on the patrol... well, Little Moscow Market's gone. Wiped out by robots.

We were lucky to get out of there ourselves. Damn things can see in the dark. One of them got carried off by a swarm of horrible things-

Rose here. Fluffy brought friends! One of the robots had lots of blinky lights so Fluffy and his friends picked it up and flew away.

There were lots of Fluffies. I told Lily I hope they come back to play. She started crying. I think she misses Fluffy.

-but one of the big robots caught up to us before we could get away.

Making a note for later: bullets don't do shit to robots. Bring explosives, and don't be nearby when they go down. They expode, and if you're too close, you will too.

Rose again. I flew!

The big ones have lasers. And knives. Overkill, much?

Anyway, don't get close. Ever. Lasers hurt. We're gonna radio Vargas, let him know what's happened, then head back to the Citadel. We need to-

Rose here. Fluffy came back again! I told him how much Lily missed him, and he got all his friends to say hello to her!

Now they're all playing chasey. Lily is running away, and the Fluffies are trying to catch her.

When Ibis is finished bandaging my laser burns, I'm gonna play too. It looks like fun.

"so I have to fix it again."

Okay, spontaneously generated by the game or not, this is definitely a running gag by now. :D

2496480 Fluffy is a running gag. Lily's revolver? That's a thing that really happens.
She spends more time unjamming the thing than she does shooting.:twilightoops:

EDIT: Didn't I make this exact comment earlier?:rainbowderp:
Major sense of deja vu here.

Yea, you made the same comment to me! :rainbowlaugh: Ooh, and Rose flew? I didn't know the girl'd become an alicorn :trollestia: Ooh, goodness. I laughed for a solid 10 minutes before I regained the composure to type this. Keep up the great work Cascade, and I love the Fluffies! :pinkiehappy:
