    Finally caught up with you. Quite unexpectedly this made me all misty eyed as I read the last few paragraphs Mona's not alone out there. People as tough and capable as herself are caring for her. I hope she can get used to it - and appreciate it. Apart from that it was an interesting summary on her loadout. And the thoughts behind

      Thank you Bernt, I'm glad you liked it and continue to follow the story, even as fragmented as it is now.

      Life would be much easier if she would just stop and accept people, wouldn't it? Without giving too much of a spoiler... Ramona will soon be explaining why that is a difficult task for her and why she fights against it. Maybe five or six entries into the future.

    I was like "She lacks beer, she definately lacks beer on that table" then again I saw that ample bottle of some tribal life problem solving remedy and all seemed great since then

    On a serious note though, if you keep it up, Bethesda's going to delay the release cuz their team won't be able to match (which is actually pretty likely) the quality of your works

      Yes, and there's a lack of whiskey too, but she wanted to be clear headed when she went out. If you're referring to the bottle in her backpack, that's actually filled with her wife's ashes.

      Thank you for the kind words and compliments. I hope this doesn't come off wrong... I wish I could see and read my stories from everyone else's perspective. When I look back all I see is the need for improvement and words and phrases that could have probably been better. I know I'm self-critical, but it would be nice to be able to see outside of it every once in a while. Again, thank you.

      Oh, I didin't want to sound rude (bout the bottle), just looking at things from my Silly Green Fox' perspective. She's not the brightest crayon in the box:p

      It didn't come off rude at all so no worries.

    Finally.....
    I started to miss them a little, and now i'm even more happier to see it back.
    I really must say Brig...you're a master of your art.
    The way you catch someone into this is awesome, i'm always trapped in it.

    Good to see you back Brig

      Yep, here's another one! Thank you for your kind words, I appreciate them very much. I won't say they're the only reason, but a lot of what inspires me to write more is knowing that folks like to read it.

    Just thought I'd check out the FO3 side and look what I found As always, Ramona has trouble with goodbyes and their attendant explanations and promises. Gee, where else have I seen that tendency It is always fun seeing Ramona go through an inventory check, since it showcases the mods and poses you're using.

      Yeah, but Val usually gets away with it for a little while at least. I secretly enjoy setting up inventory scenes sometimes. Ok, most of the time.

      I shot some of the Tenpenny Tower images the night before last and actually made use of some Operation Anchorage animations too.

      Sadly for Val, she often does get away with it leaving a lot of hurt and confusion in her wake The FO3 DLC's have a lot of great poses, and I often feel their absence when I'm staging in FONV.

      I find inventory checks to be a guilty pleasure as well, and I often envy Ramona's wealth of outfits and gear

      I have to admit, I enjoy tweaking clothing models and textures and showing them off. It's added a lot of depth and dimension to enjoying the game and, obviously, shines through rather well in the images. I'd offer to tweak something for Val but I'm honestly at a loss for what to do with her ensemble in appearance or function.

    I love the mix of heavy metal and spanish guitar in that song!

    I also really like the look of your character's clothing. Very cowboy-ish. Approved!

      Thank you very much! I've definitely been enjoying the Southwestern flavor I built into Ramona's concept. No matter how many outfits I bash together or where I get the parts from I seem to keep arriving at this outfit or a variation of it. I guess it's a good think I like it.

      If you want more Flamenco-metal fusion, I recommend searching YouTube for Ben Woods or Thomas Zwijsen. Both are amazing.

      Thank you very much, I guess writing is like riding a bicycle in that once you get back to it, it all comes rushing back.

    Welcome back old friend it's great to see you and Mona back in action. The story is as great as ever as are the pictures. The way you write allows us see Mona as a person in every sense of the word in way's few others do.

      Thank you, it's good to be back and even better to know it still comes out right. I got sidetracked a lot while writing this one, getting distracted by too many tangential details. They'll just make their way into other future entries at some point.

      Thanks Jim. As much as I enjoy it, I know she's much happier being played with again so to speak.

    Yay!! Told as only you can do it. Actually I know that it is all Ramona and you just transcribe what she says, but that's all right we'll give you the credit. Good music selection.

      You have no idea how hard it was to train a monkey to type!

      Thanks, it's good to know I'm not the only person to remember some of this stuff.
