So many bombs!

While Blair was meditating, her mind began to wander. She started to think about Izohra and Caesar. She wanted them to be back here with her and safe. When she opened her eyes, she saw Izohra and Caesar in the distance, dragging a large red wagon of fertilizer behind them. She noticed two new exclamations flashing and allowed it to pop up as she waved to them. "What took so long?" Caesar let out a bark before running over to her. His tail was wagging happily and quickly. She gently reached down to hug him and rubbed his back and chest. "Mm, I missed you too."

Izohra let out a soft sigh. "Sorry it took so long. I had to explain what fertilizer was and what it was used for to Uggozan." Blair shook her head, but smiled from reading the results of her use of Meditate. "No worries, Izohra. I am just glad you both are back." Caesar licked Blair's cheek before nuzzling against her as Izohra's score ticked up to 85. She giggled before kissing the top of Caesar's head. Afterwards, she stood back up, letting him go from her embrace. "I see you got a lot of fertilizer for me." Izohra nodded. "Yeah, Uggozan was more than happy to part with it after I explained what it would be used for. Oh, in return, she said. 'I would like Blair to teach us to use it for gardening.' Her words not mine. Honestly, I think she was very interested in it."

Blair giggled with a nod. "I see. That's a fair trade. I'll head over after I make a supply of bombs and set up a greenhouse." Izohra looked over toward the Reservoir Generator and Collector then to the Multi-Forge and its tools. "Did you buy this stuff? I've never seen it on the Abyss Auction before." She shook her head. "Oh no, I made them. I didn't want to risk a drone being tracked to my barrier." Izohra's eyes widened. "Y-you made these!? There is nothing but junk here. How did you have the time? Also, where did you get the tools?" She scratched the top of her head. "I have skills. Let's leave it at that, okay?"

Izohra lifted a brow before letting out a sigh. "I am probably better off not knowing, huh?" Blair giggled. "No, it's just easier to show my skill than to explain it." Meanwhile, Caesar had wandered over to the reservoir and started to drink some of the water. She walked over to the wagon of fertilizer and started to pull it over to the pile of vibrators. "Bring me some aluminum and watch." Izohra looked puzzled, but got several large sheets of aluminum before watching nonetheless. Once she had the wagon of fertilizer close enough, she cast Craft on it while thinking about vibrator bombs. Shortly after, she received the following notification.

Craft:

(Author's note: I will not be 100% accurate on this since I rather not promote the making of actual bombs. ^-^; )

Blair looked over her options. Hmm, she wasn't sure which she should go for. They all had pros and cons. The bouncing vibrator bomb seemed to be the easiest to use, but had the least amount of damage. Sadly, the sticky vibrator bomb had the risk of sticking to her and blowing her up instead. As for the last one, it also held the risk of going off in her hand, but only if she didn't throw it properly. Which should she choose? The bouncing, sticky, or popping vibrator bomb?
