#like i dunno man i'll keep taking shots and at some point it'll hit there's infinite ammo in this one

I literally have no idea how most neopronouns work. My genderfluid friend literally changed their pronouns because I couldn't use them correctly- fae faers is the most confusing crap tbh

Neopronouns are literally just pronouns that sometimes have their own rules. I agree that it's confusing, but it just takes a couple uses in sentences and learning, really.

Given, I still don't know how fae/faers works, but if someone can give me equal usages of its rules to common pronouns in a sentence then it shouldn't be that hard.

Thess vs Rollerbacks

I mean, @true0neutral warned me about those fuckers...

Right. First lemme get close enough to the ruins so I can fast travel there. Might be useful later. Much later, given metal flower.

Got it. Back to campfire and-- Ravager site.

RAVAGER. SITE. Hiding.

Does ... does that say Apex?

Yep. Cannon dies first.

Aim wasn't so great on Ravager the Second. Oh well, it died with minimal issues for me, so that's fine.

Okay, I wanted to check out that question mark--

Metal. Flower. AGAIN. Mrrrrrrr.

To a shelter. To a shelter so I can see if I can finally upgrade my quivers--

YEEEEEEEEES! Aaaaaaaaaand ... now I need more things' skin. More hoofing it, I guess.

(If it wants me to get salmon bones, does that mean it'll finally let me shoot at things in the water? I really miss shooting fish out of streams...)

Lemme check out north a bit first. A bit of exploration never hurt anyone--

PLOWHORNS. Spreading blight everywhere. Great. But I need Plowhorn horns, so...

Ah. Right. They have Burrowers playing guardian, so lemme just...

Wait. Everything seems to be dead but it still says machines are alerted--

Clawstrider. Right. Go away.

Ooh, drone! Lemme find a good launch point to jump on the drone--

Ah. Rebel scouting party. Bye, Tenakth rebel--

"Is the Nora hiding out there somewhere?" ...Oh, that's hysterical. Someone dies to arrow fire and the first thing they think of is, "OH SHIT, SHE'S HERE!" I mean, they're not wrong, but...

Right. They're gone with a minimum of issues. Now it looks like that platform over there is where I jump for the drone.

This platform is way too narrow for sprinting to make any difference. Right?

WRONG. Climbing up again, trying sprinting for all of ... two and a half feet. Sheesh.

Got the data, aaaaaaaaaand ... the Plowhorns are back. Again. Well, parts are a good thing. And that's ... a ... Rollerback. I've been warned about these. I will stay clear. Tail is... POONK. Gone.

Right. Keep going north for a bit aaaaaaaaand... SCAVENGER CONTRACTS! WOO!

Plowhorns. You want me to go ... and kill Plowhorns. Again. But you also want me to collect the flowers that-- Oh, this is getting weird, but fine...

So here I am, quietly stalking along in the path of a blight-spreading Plowhorn, collecting flowers. Well, I guess I get to put my stealth armour to use.

Flowers done. And, since I'm so wonderfully placed, I'll hit this sucker in the spot behind his neck ridge-thing.

Aaaaand THAT'S a one-shot kill. Except this has gained some attention and here comes a Rollerback. I should take the time to properly scan--

Wait. DOES THAT SAY APEX?!?

WILL YOU STAND THE FUCK STILL, YOU UPPITY AI-DRIVEN PILLBUG?!?

Getting better at dodge-rolling, I can tell you that much. Shame that it's driving me right into the damn blight all the time!

And I have gone flying. At least it's out of the blight...

OKAY, OKAY, I WILL UNLOCK SOME SHIT ON THE WARRIOR TREE, FINE, WHATEVER, NOW LET ME GET THIS THING'S FACE!

...There is nothing better in the world than getting off a point-blank shot at something's undercarriage while it's in the middle of attacking you and having that be the kill shot. Hooboy.

Right. Now can I go kill the other Plowhorn?

THANK you.

I should gather some other bits and pieces on my way back. There's an Unknown Shelter over there--

Flooded Tenakth village. Yes, I will go check that out, but I want to get this shit to Handa first.

Handa, you are ... enthusiastic, I'll give you that. But really, dial the ... I dunno, the "artiste" thing down a couple of notches? I honestly want that poor jerk from No Man's Land to win this one, of the scavenger people I've met so far.

Now, brief detour to base to drop off data module stuff and unlock how to properly override Plowhorns. Then off to someplace that's not ... y'know, Up In The Mountains.

Right. I do have work tomorrow, more's the pity, so I'll call it a night for now and tomorrow ... depends when I wake up, but depending on timings, it's either investigate the flooded settlement or ... whatever other scavenger contract is closest to my current position or can be easily fast-travelled to in the morning and the evening ... depends on how I feel. Just ... gods, I only had time off a few weeks ago; how do I need more already?

(Right, yes, I know, fibromyalgia, one of the symptoms is fatigue, I get it, but it's still a pain in the arse.)
