#i really hope someone out there loves her as much as i do
Final projects are keeping me very busy as I finish up my last semester of college (forever! unless I decide to go back later for some reason so forever for for now I guess) and so I haven’t really had the time or energy to keep up with my own projects, let alone start new ones.
Still, I’ve had this idea for a character bouncing around my head for some time and I’d really love to share her with you guys.
Bri the Bee Scientist:
Bri is a scientist who really loves bees. She loves their fuzzy little bodies and their wiggly antenna and the fact that they communicate through dance. Bri is working on experiments to genetically modify bees to help them resist disease and multiply more. She has had some success but for some reason her experiments always have horrid side effects. Flesh-eating bees that multiply like rabbits for instance. Or bees that photosynthesize but have no interest in mating but may also be immortal and create honey that is only slightly hallucinogenic. Still, no matter how weird or terrifying her creations are, she loves all her bees. Her co-workers hate her creations, but she’s the sweetest person in the world so they have a harder time hating her. She often helps them with their work and it turns out well, but she still insists on mainly focusing on bees.
Her boss recognizes that her experiments are a problem but is reluctant to fire her since she really is a great person and super smart. Instead, her boss sends her to work outside of the lab in an office doing paperwork. Her boss hopes that this new position will help Bri get a better handle on procedure and make her co-workers less prone to injury. However, Bri continues her experiments in secret, hiding bees in boxes under her desk and in her drawers and storing her illicit research behind the copy machine and in the ceiling tiles.
Boss: I’ve been hearing buzzing in my office the last couple of days but no matter how hard I look I can’t find the dratted thing. I think you being here has made me paranoid.
Bri, slightly pink: Hearing things? Maybe you should get that checked out. Ha ha.
Later, Brian spots her stuffing papers into the pot of the office plant. He only manages to catch one word on them: Invisibees.
For all the artistic/writerly/creative people I follow/who follow me/anyone who comes across this post if she happens to pique your interest please feel free to use her in any of your stuff! I’d love to see her come to life! Especially since I know I’ll never get around to creating anything for her myself…
If you do use her in something, tag me! I’d love to see it!
In in any case, hope you all do well on your finals and that the stress stays away ❤️
