humans
so annoying
my misanthropy feels increasingly justified
i mean could they just wait one flipping day for me to get this tea room finished. this is all for them! i'm not doing this junk for me you know! it's not like i woke up and was all like hmm yes what is the most productive use of my superscience time o i know make a flipping tea room for ungrateful donking humans who probably don't even like tea. probably all coffee drinkers. or. cocoa.
note: variety of hot beverages in tea room
what was i annoyed about
oh yes
right
humans are trying to explode my biscuit fort
i am not
happy
about this
although i probably shouldn't have opened ant prison and let out all my ant prisoners
i only had three
just thirteen legs between them
humans were not impressed
was kind of interesting to see regular humans fighting giant ants i guess
bulletguns moderately effective
i mean i knew that
still miss tbm bulletgun
these guys aren't using big bullets though. their bullets are smaller.
so it takes more to crack open an ant
also one thing i never really appreciated
all my offensive options are fairly
y'know
overkillish
like even the crappy old crudlauncher takes down ants in a shot or two. shardrifle tears ants to pieces. antswords slice through chitin so easily. so easily. cannonball pistols. do i even need to say. everything works very well. because that's how you solution. you science and you engineer and you make a thing that is designed to solve the problem as efficiently as possible. or yknow overengineer it to heck because why not right? better to go too far than not far enough. anyway my point is that this is basic stuff. if you need to kill giant ants regularly then maybe think about making something that is good at killing giant ants.

but i guess when all you have is a bulletgun with small bullets that's what you gotta use
even if it takes ages
and also the ant gets really annoyed
and tries to eat you
none of these humans got eaten
none of them even lost an arm
got kind of close a few times
but in the end they killed my ant prisoners
and then had a really good nosy look around ant prison
nothing much in there except antcorpse bits'n'juice
nothing to scare them away
so i sent out #4
not to kill them of course
just to
y'know
be scary
with lasers
and crudlauncher
i might have mentioned this before but there is something weirdly terrifying about shin height crudballs flying around
you just get like
man right at this moment i literally cannot think of a worse thing happening than getting hit in the shin by a speeding wad of crud
anyway the important thing is that the humans all went away and biscuit fort remains unexploded
so
success?
it's not a success
it just worked for now. that's all.
i feel bad about releasing ants and robot on the idiots
even if they were trying to crack open my fort
i took all the explosive stuff they were setting up
if you try to explode me i get to keep your bombs
this feels morally okay
it's all plastic explosive stuff. not homemade. military style. all with military writing and instructions and stuff on the packets. packets! so fancy.
ended up feeding most of it into the mareo. that thing's always crying out for more blowy uppy materials.
anyway
have to go make sure tea room is good. also add these ant candy things i made to launchers. it's just basically a wad of antattracting stuff. ants love it. so i figure i'll add that to the exit distraction protocol. buzzers go buzzing off. ant candy is deployed. with all that interesting nonsense going on any ants around won't even notice a human or two leaving.

well that's the plan anyway
fingers crossed it works out
keep forgetting i have to check suburban ant situation. eyespiders are doing their thing and scavengers keep bringing back antcorpses so i guess it's okay for now but
oh also power plant. just want to be doing that. unlock laser shotgun.
what is life without laser shotgun
safer probably
but i still want it
problem
problem is
there is just too much stuff
and only one jin
well anyway
got work to do
tea time

Kind’s Kiss
MAGIC DOESN'T KILL, NOT BY ITSELF. IT NEEDS A LITTLE HELP. Jessica DeRidder is a substitute teacher and mage in hiding, her daughter Ellen a killer on the run. Their next job lands the mother-daughter team in Hellhole, a small town in the middle of nowhere. All they need to do is their job. For Mom to identify the problem, and for Ellen to... fix it. Easy. Simple. But not this time. The pair find themselves caught in the struggle between the Man-in-White and the Wicked Witch of the West. A mysterious image and the theft of a deadly flower lead the pair to a score of dead prisoners, magical drug dealers, and red-eyed assassins falling from the sky. And somehow it all seems to be related to Ellen's murky past. All Ellen wants to do is do her homework, eat ice cream, and protect her newfound friends (not necessarily in that order). She'll go all-in, guns blazing. But when the smoke clears there may be nothing left but a stranger's past and a lonely future. --- 'Kind's Kiss' is a light, modern-day fantasy, easy on the magic, heavy on the snark. Though complete it is still a work in progress. One reviewer described it as 'Buffy meets Sabrina, as done by Tarantino'. I'm still not sure if I should consider that a compliment or hire a hitman :-)
