Said Technician Liu ignoring The Librarian's rant and gazing at Agent Des, "I just get the feeling that the RC in question in not occupied and I got a prank call for someone asking tea for that RC," she sighs, "So much for trying a side tea brewing business, along my workload at T&A."
A trio of Stus are Experiencing a Significant Gravitas Shortfall in this new mission, in which Agent Ari of DIC takes newbies Navare and Amris on a training mission (ha!) to the Nanohaverse.
So, I finally managed to write something, which is a co-write with Firemagic - I probably wouldn't have gotten off my ass and done anything without her, so lots of thanks!
The mini-Berserk Defence Programme MidChildan is up for adoption.
Is that a Culture drone?
Is that a CULTURE CHARACTER in the PPC?
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE- *happyboom*
Amris is, indeed, a genuine Value 1.0 Culture Drone. I've been toying with this idea for some time, and finally introduced the bloodthirsty ball o' fun.
I think that makes three of us - I know for a fact Hieronymus Graubart read Consider Phlebas - but that's about it. That's my second obscure fandom here, I guess.
-Sets up a celebratory tea party-
I didn't know about the Culture series until just a few days ago, when SpaceX renamed their landing barge "Just Read The Instructions". A pretty freaky coincidence... I blame the Baader-Meinhof phenomenon.
Though this makes me wonder what a Culture mini would look like. Prolly a mini-GOU with an attitude problem. Might even be a mini-Mind, which would be all manner of fun and jolly japes... >=]
From what I've seen, Culture fanfic is basically nonexistent. There are two meh crossovers in ff.net and a few things in AO3, but that's about it.
That said, I think the 'verse's mini should a miniature version of the Xenohobe's avatar. Solely because that's highly amusing.
ISTR a Harry Potter crossover, of all things. The Harry-resembling fleshheap in the story had a go at the Sorting Hat, 'cause he was raised by the Culture instead of the Dursleys and, well, I kind of agree with their stance on telepathic rape. =]
A Harry Potter crossover? Can I have a link, please?
Here you go.
Be warned: with the old nostalgia goggles on, I remember it as being on the bad side of mediocre, and it's a deadfic. Oh well. Enjoy! =]
Yes. In fact, Fal 'Ngeestra is the Referrer that appears in Consider Phlebas.
Actually, normal ships can use Ultraspace ("upper" hyperspace). The Excession is special because it's connected to both Ultraspace and Infraspace ("lower" hyperspace) at the same time.
The point is that the Excession is really, really special, and making Harry one, then ignoring the consequences... let's say it made my mind melt.
I'll get the first draft of my second mission done (!) and put something together. This is a much more traditional mission than what I've planned for Wobbles and the Notary to be exposed to, because what kind of author would I be if I didn't send them into vile hellscapes unfit for sentient habitation?
I imagine that it would be agent!Des who would be tortured in this mission. Childhood and all that. Notary would have the Librarian to have fun with. Isn't that enough?
You two are going to be nice. You two are going to be quiet. You are not going to bicker. Otherwise I'll take my axe and chop-chop-chop you.
-Agent Des
{Note added by 0.4342944819.console.192.168.2.1.External: Notary, just this once: get some common sense and don't provoke him any further. He is actually pretty scary with that deranged look on his face. -Librarian}
"Did someone here ask for some jasmine tea or I'm in the wrong RC?"
... who was hitting his head on a wall. "I do not believe anybody here ordered a cup of tea, but he could certainly use one - if you can pry him from the wall, that is. The mission that is currently displayed on our console made him somewhat lose his composure."
...then back to The Librarian* Well... *the blue-eyed pale asian-looking girl with blonde-dyed-that-used-to-be-black hair scowled* I could, but I would need water. A lot of water, like about 15 gallons or more.
[Note: I can explain the look! XD]
"I'm afraid that would ruin my clothes," the Time Lord said, "and the books, too." He motioned at the bookcases lining the RC's walls.
A mini-Reaper that was hiding in one of the dark corners near the ceiling swept down and began to gesticulate wildly.
"Doctor who doesn't particularly like the idea, either."
I'm afraid I don't know anything about either continuum either, but it was still enjoyable! The Reality Room execution was my favorite part. *tosses cakefetti*
Well, there's only one continuum in play, as far as I can tell. Admittedly the Nanoha canon barely plays a role in the fic, but still..
Also I'm glad you liked the execution! I like writing fight scenes.
(Also, I left you a message on the RinaAndRanda wiki page, so please respond to that, if you don't mind)
(Didn't notice you'd replied! And I was thinking the idea of a cowrite would be that I would bring Nanoha knowledge and you would bring Pokemon knowledge and it'd work that way?)
I'm fairly familiar with the anime (I watched quite a lot of the original series episodes as a kid, along with the Diamond/Pearl anime and some Black/White), and I frequently lurk around Bulbapedia so I'll be able to catch anything else.
So if you really want the fic in question dead, I could be of some use. Since it's a crossover, though, I'll probably have to have my DIC team set up first, but I'd love to co-write with Ari and Tera nonetheless!
Though, your Rashida and Falchion are in Floaters. So they could do a crossover mission.
True, but I already have quite a few missions slated for those two, and I don't want to create a backlog for them; besides, my upcoming DIC team could use a few missions themselves (I've found only two crossovers for them to tackle so far, and I could certainly use more).
We can talk more about this through PM. My e-mail is, of course, skarmorysilver at gmail dot com (plug in punctuation as needed).
Ok then. I shall make a GDoc with the fic copied over and we can talk about it there.
The fix also looks like it's anime-based, and my knowledge of Pokemon really only covers the games (though I know those inside and out). I probably ought to put that on my profile...
Oh, I see.
If it's not too weird to say, I'd still like to do a cowrite with you? I feel like there might be some fun stuff with the Ari/Theia/Tera group and your Agents.
I'll keep an eye out for something good!
There's this thing...

I'm glad you got to write something less brain-breaking than your other missions :)
Not familiar with either of the two continua, but this was pretty fun to read! *tosses congratulatory Spikes*
I did spot a typo, however... the Berserk Defence Programme of the Book of Darkness would appear and would be obliterated by the Asura’s Arc-en-ciel cannon
Shouldn't there be a period at the end of that sentence? Uh...
