    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

Fuck. Just... fuck.

Got to the Prison fine. Helped a guy whose wagon was stuck and he told us about some guy called Red who might have the info we needed. His goat screamed at us.

After that, things went real bad, real fast. The Red Skorpions have been extorting everyone they were meant to be protecting, going on about taxes and the like.

Brahmin shit, that's what it is.

They tried to get some cash out of us, calling it a "Gun Tax".

Rose here. I negotiated.

One tried to take Rose's rifle when we refused to pay. She beat him to death, Magpie and Ibis gunned down the others.

Not long after that, we found

They're keeping

They had a stable of hoomins.

We've pulled back with the survivors for now. Magpie and Ibis are doing what they can, but some of them are pretty bad.

Rose is... somewhere. She said something about guard duty.

I have to radio Vargas and let him know what's going on here. Fuck.

Vargas is sending some Ranger squads to meet up with us.

We're putting an end to this.

Major events so far:
Lily was screamed at by a goat.
General opinion of the Rangers continues to rise.
War has begun.

Someone looked at the old prison cells and realized they get into slaving more cheaply since they wouldn't have to buy cages, did they?

Just another day in the wild and crazy wasteland, eh? Glad to see another update, I've been missing that signature Bouquet crazy! :pinkiecrazy:

2556238 Worse than slavery. I'm still outside of the prison. What I came across was just one of the RSM psycho's personal "stable".:ajbemused:

Vaporized the SOB with a laser.

Oh. Dear me. I'm still not sure what the specifics are, but that doesn't sound good.

2557016 Crazy is right. Somehow, Rose picked up some new skills. Skills I never put points into!:twilightoops:

It's Rose for Celestias sake, expect the unexpected and miraculously funny! :rainbowlaugh:
