You think it is sort of ridiculous that anybody could ever have trouble understanding you, but whatever.

Not everybody can be as SMART or as BRILLIANT as you, so you suppose you have a duty to help them out. You ask the mysterious black creature what part they're having trouble understanding.

You nod sagely. You are glad the people seem to share your concerns over the name of common household appliances.

... Whatever those concerns might be. You are sort of inscrutable sometimes.

You don't find the idea of a Wasp building a nest out of, like, pure fucking concrete that exciting. Probably because your old wasps made their nests out of WAY STRONGER MATERIALS.

That said, you think it is sort of cute how resourceful they are.
You offer to help relocate them, if it would help?

You used to be a soldier, you tell her. As the WASPKEEPER VANGUARD, you were responsible for maintaining the production of IMPETUS COMBS through the diligent oversight of the armies LABORER WASPS.

It was sort of like being a very fancy and battle-focused beekeeper, you say.

Everybody did indeed get stabbed. Stabbed, maimed, ran through, filleted, bisected. The Slayer's rise to power was gruesome indeed, and though you try not to blame yourself...

You neglect to mention any of this, of course. Not only do you not like talking about it, but it doesn't seem appropriate.

[ ==> WV: Retrieve vendors license. ]

Obviously, you don't own that anymore. You do have this farmers license, though.

It's a little laminated sheet of dirty plastic with a copy of the barcode-looking thing on your wrist, alongside some text saying you're legally allowed to sell produce.

- 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐖𝐀𝐘𝐖𝐀𝐑𝐃 𝐕𝐀𝐆𝐀𝐁𝐎𝐍𝐃 @wastelandic.bsky.social · 10d

Oh. You think you have one of those, actually.

Used to, at least.

Back when you were an active part of the WAR EFFORTS, shenanigans required you to get a license to operate the DERSITE SIEGE ENGINES.

You are somewhat mystified by their claim that a lady could be impressed by this silly outdated technology. Maybe simple things are the key to the heart of a lady after all?

You do not know because you do not know anything about ladies really.

You tell her that you didn't really plan any of it out that much. You just ended up stuck in some weird lab station and played around with whatever was in there for a while.

And, then, because you didn't really have anything else to do, you kept going at it for the next couple of years.

You tell her that you created this particular branch for the sake of a friend of yours. You, uhm...

You thought she'd appreciate being included.
Unfortunately, she's been pretty busy as of late, and...

Well, you haven't gotten the chance to show it to her. You're not super confident in this one.

A brave champion of the light of democracy, the Mayor enthused the masses with convivial spirit, and inspired them in their common purpose to build a better world for the people who would come after them.

It was to be no easy task, but it was to this task that you found yourself best suited.
