But I can't, for the life of me, figure out the *poke*.
Is it a literal poke?
As in, you glomp them, and poke them while glomping them? With a finger?
I'm sorry, I know this is unrelated, but it's been chipping away at the back of my brain for months.
Hi. The author of Agents Drake and Naomi here. Life had been kicking my butt, but finally have some time to spend back here. I do hope to get back into PPCing. I am sure that many changes have occured.
I'm glad to see the author of such stalwart sporkers as Drake and Naomi (not to mention Mr. Kit) return to the fold.
For your welcome back gifts, take this Holocron and a bowl of hotroot soup.
Also, boffer larp? Might I press you for details? I'm a (possibly retired) Belegarth fighter, so I'm always interested to hear about my sport's distant cousins.
I'm doing Rise of the Founders, a new one. And I got shown to Solar, a NERO one, that split from it. I can give facebook links. I have found I enjoy casting.
Belegarth is really more about the hitting people with foam swords bit, so no magic, but a quick bit of googling makes both the games you mention look pretty interesting.
Hit me up via email if you want more. or ask me either for a IM account, so not cluttering it up here. It's very, assassin like at times. Few people should be pissing off the necromancer, for obvious reasons, well, obvious to PC reasons. Obvious to Murder Hobos, not so much?
*checks PPC Wiki*
Wow, it's been a while! I wasn't even here when you were last active. sonofheaven 176, Esq., at your service; joined the PPC in 2009 or 2010 (I don't quite recall, but it was in my first year of law school).
But enough about me, you need a gift! As for your welcome-back gift:
*rummages through Pokemon-trainer-issue Bag of Holding*
Have a Delibird!
It's a cute little Pokemon—just be careful if it tries to give you a present
I am/was also Mr. Kit of UFOR....
And thank you. I prefer vulpix though!
I'm usually thoughtful enough to give fitting gifts! Oh well...
Here, have this cup of — no get out of there—
Nevermind, you can have the bunny as well.
Drake is curious if the bunny is edib.... *Backpack smash*
Sorry about that, Naomi vetoed the whole fox eats bunny thing.
Yay, another oldbie returning! *blows noisemaker* Here's a Hello Kitty watch and a box of tiny colored pencils!
Glad to have a veteran return the ranks!

Agents Naomi and Drake, will be ready once they get their bearings. I wonder, where they listed as MIA?
Please accept this NG+ starter Pokémon:-
Iiiiiiiit's Eelektross! (You lucky thing, that's my favourite Pokémon)
And your NG+ starting item is:-
Bursting Sack from The Binding of Isaac: Afterbirth!
Bursting Sack is an excellent item in competitive play because of how it works; it makes the holder immune to Bug-type attacks and makes them have no effect, which can be exceptionally irritating for U-Turn users like Scizor who promptly get trapped and are forced to take a Flamethrower to the face. Of course, having another immunity to a relatively common type is always nice too! For use on your Eelektross, get a Quiet one and give it EVs in HP and Special Attack, then give it Volt Switch, Thunderbolt, Giga Drain, and Flamethrower. However, the most important thing to remember is to have fun! =]
My, my, this place is so well hidden for you to take so long to come back?
Anyways, here is your self-updating guidebook of all the deathtraps in the multiverse, and some black-hole coffee.
Now, I hope you're back to stay, and Naomi and Drake will get more missions someday. This madhouse cannot have too many people.
It's more, real life attacked hard. And I hope they will too. It's more...., well, lets just say life has been beating me with a stick. I've always wanted to come back, but life interrupted. I've gotten a stable job, so can keep sanity with PPCing.. Yes, you read that right.
(Also, I've got some stories about LARPers that will shock PPC agents.)
Take this fresh plate of welcome-back SPaGhetti!
And eee, I loved Drake and Naomi's stuff! Do you think you'll write any more of them?
But I can't, for the life of me, figure out the *poke*.
Is it a literal poke?
As in, you glomp them, and poke them while glomping them? With a finger?
I'm sorry, I know this is unrelated, but it's been chipping away at the back of my brain for months.
I don't remember the exact details, but I believe hS claimed the first poke of a newbie and ever since I've been striving to claim first pokes instead. :P
And yes, I glomp them, and then I poke them with my Poking Stick.
Those first pokes are mine.
This means war.
My poking stick is ready and polished.
Of course you realize
this means war
Ready to poke, Lady/Sir!
Alright, then. I'm prepared.
I got poked when I was a newbie. The reason Tawaki offers First Plovers? Because it alliterates with First Poke. And I think that was the start of most of the newbie gifts, so...
hS
*pokes pensively*
As Drake charges his railgun.
"Yo Naomi? Can I poke back my way?"
...and the Aviator raises her staser rifle. "Only if I get to poke back my way."
:P
"Look, lets not main each other just yet. WE need to work on the sues, not each other.. pleased?"
I LIKE YOU!
Thank you. And I think I will be. I just need to get back into the mood. I just drifted away from here, moved, and well, then learned about the Dark Art of Boffer Larping.
Your missions were some of my favorites. It's good to meet you on the Board!
Your gift: three (3) packages of Swiss Miss Hot Chocolate mix, with marshmallows!
(Remarkably mundane for a PPC gift, I know, but it's all I've got. ^^; )
That means alot, and don't worry, Drake's railgun has been recharged. Let me tell you, nuclear batteries are NOT easy to recharge... and people ask all sorts of questions.
Also, hot chocolate... yummy!
Hello! Welcome back!
Many changes, indeed, have occurred. Such as me. I'm on that list. It's a tad stuffy, but I've managed, so far.
Hold on, I've read some of your stuff!
I distinctly recall thinking to myself: 'I do hope the writer gets back into PPCing.'
Was fond of your agents, y'know?
Thank you. And that means alot to me. I didn't realize that people liked it that much. Drake and Naomi will return. I do have a job with odd hours and also Boffer Larping, but I'll most likely get back on the bike. Just need to find a good series to go back into. I guess retraining is a good reason for a hiatus of agents.....
A whole 106 Kitsune returned!
I don't even have one where I am.
Have a bottle of Electric Blue Goo ("It's got what plants CRAVE!"), to help you get back into groove :D
