Your agents have won an all-paid vacation to one of these places at any point in time; where will they go?

My agents hardly know the meaning of the word. However...
Gall might choose Pandora for the opportunity for some serious high-flying action. Fellrazer would come too, of course, disguised as a Banshee. She might try to convince whoever's providing the disguises to make him a Great Leonopteryx, but since she's dragging Derik along, he'll make sure that doesn't happen. It would attract too much attention.
Jenni might take Henry to visit the Wizarding World, but they'd probably have to stay away from Hogwarts itself. There's no explaining the presence of a six-year-old there, and she wouldn't have him disguised as anything else since he's so young. Still, there's always Diagon Alley.
Ilraen would be happy to go anywhere with open grasslands. He might choose Narnia and try being one of those centaurs that people are always comparing him to. He might enjoy studying astronomy with them, too.
Nume would choose Gallifrey. Then he would gank a TARDIS and go wherever and whenever the hell he wants to. Psych! ... But he'd probably just go looking for lost texts to read. Library of Alexandria, anyone?

I don't think Supernumerary's shenanigans would be possible, because they would be Sue-level canon breaches if he made them.
Or good friend Nume here, lacks the biodata modifications done to Time Lords, specially the Symbiotic Atomic Nuclei; which are needed to operate and form a quasi-symbiotic link with a TARDIS, without these the Capsule would be destroyed during time travel and Nume would die.
Also the TARDISes are sentient, no TARDIS would let itself to be stolen. (Unless you're The Doctor, and even then, he was stealing his own TARDIS.) -

Shows how little I know about the Whoniverse. {= )
Well, in that case, I suppose he might have to try and talk one of HQ's resident Time Lords into it. I'm sure there's one or two who would be interested in such a trip. I mean, they have to be called "the Reader" and "the Librarian" for a reason, right? Or maybe the Fisherman would go along because hey, wacky adventure fun times! {= D

Doesn't have a TARDIS and is a computers-librarian with an obsession with the Osirians' Riddle, not a "I wanna read everything" guy.

Though, Nume doesn't need to go to Gallifrey for that, he could easily do that in World One. Not to mention the fact that the resident Time Lords from HQ aren't going to have a very warm welcome there.
Speaking of which, how many are of them? 'Cuz I was maybe, sort of, kind of, developing one for future use as an agent... -

They've even got a club.
Note that this doesn't include the Guardsman, who doesn't trust the Council further than he can throw a Dalek (which probably happened at least once at some point during the Time War). -

I have no idea! Whatever it is, though, it would be fun to read. ^_~ Well, he'd go to the Library of Alexandria... maybe see the Lord of the Rings movies in theaters... Warn his you get self to never ask for an Andalite partner...
I guess I didn't think past the actual joyride part. Also, 'Nume' and 'joyride' are two words that just don't seem to go together. -

None of these places actually interests them.
In fact, the only one they're familiar with is Hogwarts, and... well, Nikki might like it after all, but Agent!Sergio would be disappointed at the lack of places where cars can be driven around Hogwarts, or even most of the other places ("It's four freaking years that I don't get the chance to drive my Trueno, I want a place with roads") and Corolla prefers more high-tech settings. -

Doc - Narnia. Like me, Doc has a interesting soft spot for Narnia as an especially pure and moral world. (Even though we only read the series in high school, believe it or not.)
Dream choice: The nameless club at 249B East Thirty-Fifth Street from "A Winter's Tale: The Breathing Method." (A.k.a, the one novella from Different Seasons not turned into a movie yet.) It's a club where people meet to tell stories, but it's also said to have many "rooms and corridors . . . entrances and exits." Sounds like a great place to get lost!
Vania - Probably Asgard, out of these choices. Games and musicals are Vania's thing, so none of these would leap out at her, but Asgard's interesting blended science/magic would be intriguing to her.
Dream choice: Right now, probably Twilight Town, to try some sea salt ice cream. Maybe she would try some of the odd jobs that appeared as mini games in Kingdom Hearts II. And finally find out what that beach looks like! Later on in my spin-off, Vania will get introduced to Lost, which will probably become her dream vacation.
Yoof - Definitely the Hogwarts kitchens.
Dream choice: Probably that diner in Spaceballs, in hopes of meeting Barf in person (while scoring a meal).
Séverine - She would probably go to somewhere Elf-inhabited in Middle-earth and try to learn to make proper lembas.
Millie and Olsen/Mollie and Ollie - Hm. None of these places are Disney (no, Narnia and Asgard do not count). I could see them going to Hogwarts in a (doomed) attempt to learn magic to replace the kind Millie has lost without her brush. -

Agent Huinesoron: "Hmm. I suppose Narnia? Most of the others are filled with technology and/or humans, and I spend enough time back home as it is. It could be interesting to visit Cair Paravel; I wonder if anyone's ever performed an archaeological excavation there..."
Agent Kaitlyn: "Middle-earth. First Age. Doriath. Luthieeeen... wait, 'all-paid'? Think I can convince them to import some hobbits to Doriath, too?"
Agent Selene: "I think I'll take Asgard. No particular reason - I just think it sounds interesting. Um, as long as Loki's not there."
Agent Morgan: "I'm currently banned from Gallifrey for timeline-related infractions. Failing that, then, how about Olympus? I like their architecture, and yes, I know exactly who I sound like."
Agent Rosalind: "Oh! I would like, be interested in, and enjoy a trip, tour, vacation or holiday to Hogwarts, being the school of magic in the series of Harry Potter books by J.K.Rowling, said series of Harry Potter books consisting firstly of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, secondly of..."
Agent Haar: "Panem."
I think that's enough from them.

Marvin and Printworthy... would have a hard time. Probably Narnia, but Middle Earth is a serious option. You know what, I am going to say Narnia. At least Printworthy's disguise would be minimal. He would loose the cutiemark, grow a little taller, stretch out his muzzle, and loose the glasses. He could stay a unicorn at least. And it is very pretty, with a lot of charm, and wonderful citizens, for the most part. While they love Equestra, and will always love it, no matter what is thrown at them (and this is a promise I make to them and you all), Narnia would be a welcome break for them.
Now, Jumper? All of them. He already has been, and will continue to go, Jumping-restricting bracelet be darned. And he will drag Sarah along for the ride, no mater how hard she tries to go against it. -

Well, I'm pretty sure none of my agents would choose Panem. That place kind of sucks for its people!
But, among my other teams...
Team Ari, Tera, and Theia: Visit Asgard! (This is where I'd go as well)
Team Lana, Narav, and Riaa: Visit Middle Earth, preferably one of the more scenic, less war-torn parts, and go camping. They stay far away from Mirkwood and any place where spidermonsters are likely to be killed, even with the disguises.
Team Cepha, Amara, and Fio: ...They'd probably also visit Asgard, but Olympus might also work!
Doc Kindheart: Visits Gallifrey and checks out their medicine, because she has no idea how vacations work
Anne and Caroline: They visit Asgard and either copy or steal as many tech schematics as possible. -

Falchion would probably insist on going to Pandora, just for the sake of the creatures and awesome scenery (that and getting to be an Ikran, probably), while Rashida would prefer Asgard because she'd be fascinated by ancient mythologies aside from Egyptian. Sarah, of course, would go to Asgard purely to see Thor.
E.V.L. would like to visit Hogwarts purely for nostalgic value (one of her homefics took her there, after all), and Rayner, of course, won't have any of it. He'd probably want to go to either Middle Earth or Narnia instead (he's a humanized MLP character, MLP is sorta fantasy, so he likes fantasy... sounds legit).
Why have any of those, though, when you could have Isla Sorna, or even the upcoming Jurassic World? Dinosaurs for everybody! :D -

The Chinese woman looked at Angus from across the Cafeteria table they shared. "It's a PPC travel brochure that I managed to find under some mouldy paperwork in Personnel," she said as she handed the document to her coworker. "I think it's supposed to convince the newbies that maybe, just maybe this place isn't a total pit of despair."
Beside her, Nasir sighed and rolled his eyes. "Given the fact that you found this by digging under some abandoned crud... well, I don't think this thing lasted very long."
Penny shrugged. "Iunno, but it's still pretty to look at."
Meanwhile, Angus was examining the brochure. "Well, let's see... oh, the Hogwarts one looks nice. If the trip also included Hogsmeade I'd take Sophie to Honeydukes and buy her some candy..."
"Ooh, sounds lovely," said Penny. "There's nothing on this list that really grabs my attention-- I'm not part of any of these fandoms-- but I wouldn't mind a trip to Middle-earth. Shire, here I come!"
Nasir pointed at the brochure. "Hey Angus, may I have a look at that?"
The blond man passed the travel guide to his Arabic coworker. "Yeah, no problem man. Actually," he turned to Penny, "a trip to Gallifrey wouldn't be so bad."
"It's got to get unstuck from that pocket dimension first, though," sighed Penny. "Hah! To think that ten-ish years ago we could actually go there. It's funny how things change, eh?"
Both of her coworkers muttered sounds of agreement. Nasir looked up from the brochure and asked: "Where is Panem? It looks like some American city but... I don't know."
"Uh, I think it's a nation in the Hunger Games 'verse if I remember correctly," said Angus, scratching his chin. "Y'know, the young-adult-dystopian-future-kill-people-for-sport novel?"
Penny arched an eyebrow. "Another Battle Royale copycat? What is it with all of these authors and shoving teens into an arena to fight to the death? Did they never grow out of their gladiator phase or something?"
"That's a thing?" said Nasir.
The Chinese agent made a vague waving gesture with her hand. "Whatever. You know what I mean. So! Where do you want to go?"
Nasir looked at the brochure again. "Hm... I've always had a thing for floating islands and stuff. I'll take Pandora: those airborne landmasses are like a poor man's Sanctaphrax but oh well."
Angus checked his watch. "Fifteen minutes of break time left, guys. Shall we?"
Penny and Nasir gathered their trays of food and stood up. "Let's roll," said Penny. "I can't wait to go and read some more badfic while surrounded by a bunch of weeping, sleep-deprived adults!"
"If only I shared your enthusiasm," said Nasir as the group left the table. -

I think Xericka and Gremlin would visit either Asgard or Gallifrey. Gremlin would probably push for Asgard for the festivities and the feasting, whereas Xericka would be more interested in Gallifrey's cultural and historical aspects.
Danny would probably go with Pandora. It's probably the closest to a traditional "I just want to relax" kind of vacation, despite the poisonous atmosphere and nasty beasties. I don't see a lot of kicking back in Narnia.
Laura and James... I don't know. James might like a kind of exploration-style of vacay, so I could she him doing well in Pandora or Middle Earth. But both together? I can't really see them going to any of these places as a form of relaxation. Now if you had said it was this Pandora--
--then they'd probably be raring to go. -

Are you going somewhere with this, or is it just for fun?
That being said, my agents are probably sick of Hogwarts by this point, and will be sick of Olympus and possibly Gallifrey and Narnia by the time I'm through with them. And Panem just sounds dangerous.
So I'll go with Middle-earth. I'm sorry to say that, even though I've read the books a few times, I don't know the continuum well enough to do a mission in there, so my agents won't be going there anytime soon. And since I'm rereading the series now, I'm feeling hobbitish today. Off to the Shire! Wait, scratch that— off to OFUM! -

Agent Miah and Cali would go to Asgard. Kelok and Unger to Gallifrey, and Carry Onin to Pandora. All of them chosen because those have some similarity to either their origin or where they work a lot, but is not where they originated or work a lot.
