...well, I basically said up above that I enjoyed something you wrote when you were twelve. Which is true. Just wanted to add that, well, I knew already and certainly can understand that you wanted to redo that; doesn't mean it wasn't a fun read, though.

Apologies if that made no sense, of course; that's what happens when you try to acknowledge that you know the author's opinion on their own, quite old work, and also enjoyed certain aspects of it (mainly the concept of bringing in a whole bunch of Sean Bean characters, and especially PPC Agent Alec Trevelyan, who I keep trying to write as 'Alex'). Basically, I know it's old, and isn't perfect, but I had fun reading it.

And, on that note, it's certainly time to stop repeating myself.

Hi, I'm Chatvert. You might remember me from such oldbie PPC lore as "why the ... do we have all these Sean Beans running around" and "takes three-year breaks between posting missions".

That's it.

July's making me post because she's been re-enabling me into the PPC all day.

So.

Hi.

Welcome back to the PPC! by Scapegrace on 2015-09-21 11:43:00 UTC Reply

Here's your NG+ starter Pokémon:

Iiiiiiit's Golem!

And your NG+ starting item is:

Blessing of Osiris (Weapon) from Ascendant!

So, this is actually quite a useful item, since it doubles the BP of your next move if you knocked out your target. It can be really useful on sweepers, and works very well with Golem's high Attack and access to Sucker Punch. It's mostly seen on mons like Scizor who make things like Bullet Punch work, but yeah, it's fine for the G-Man too, especially since you can bait in a revenge sweeper with a Sucker Punch. =]
Oh, you wrote the Sean Bean agents! by Alleb on 2015-09-21 02:33:00 UTC Reply

I absolutely love that idea! Makes me wish I had thought of it. Will you be writing again anytime soon?

But I'm getting ahead of myself. Welcome back! Have an urple ocarina; my name's Alleb, short for Alleb Knight, I got here back in May. Nice to meet you!

Egads, I made a run-on. by Alleb on 2015-09-21 02:35:00 UTC Reply

Apologies-- second try.

Thaaaat's better.

Technically, the error is a comma splice. by son_of_heaven176 on 2015-09-21 15:51:00 UTC Reply

A true run-on sentence is when you just jam two sentences together without any punctuation at all that is what I am doing right now.

A comma splice is when you use a comma to connect two sentences as opposed to using a semicolon or separating the sentences with a period), it is not as egregious as a run-on, but it's a good thing when an editor is able to catch one.

Huh, I'd never heard that before. by Alleb on 2015-09-23 21:35:00 UTC Reply

If nothing else, the PPC has really improved my grammar. Thanks!

Do I know you? Ah well, welcome back anyway! by SkarmorySilver on 2015-09-20 14:54:00 UTC Reply

Have one of my shed feathers and a complimentary kit of Spikes! (And forgive me for saying this, but I honestly haven't yet read about Team Phoenix or any related shenanigans thereof ^^; I'll remember to fix that sometime!)
You can never have too many Sean Beans running around. by Pippa's Ghost on 2015-09-20 10:46:00 UTC Reply

Anyway, welcome back. Have these sonic screws. (You'll have to provide your own sonic screwdriver to go with them.)

YER BACK YAY
It's a pleasure to meet you. by James Shields on 2015-09-20 03:35:00 UTC Reply

I have just got back here about a month ago, and prior to that I was here about eleven months ago but I only ever here also for about a month back then, so we wouldn't know each other.

Have a Rorschach Book. It can change to any text in existence. Just close your eyes while holding it, think about what you want read then blink on purpose three times and it should have changed.
Why, hello! by DawnFire on 2015-09-20 02:36:00 UTC Reply

I remember those Sean Beans! That was fun to read. Always kind of wished that Alec Trevelyan had stuck around being written about, he's very fun.

Anyway, welcome back for however long you're staying! And have a Welcome Back Gift of Swiss Bleepolate, for those times when you want your Swiss chocolate to ease the pain of dreadful memories. Are you still into the various movies with Sean Bean in them? On that note, have you seen him in Game of Thrones? :)

And, of course: how have things been? What are you up to these days, apart from being re-enabled by July?

So you're the one who wrote Project Phoenix! by eatpraylove on 2015-09-19 20:35:00 UTC Reply

Welcome back! Here are two complimentary bottles of Bleeprin and a mini-Missingno named HoOh! (I'm trying to adopt some of the ones I already have out in advance because my upcoming mission's got a small army of them.) HoOh looks like a small Aerodactyl skeleton, doesn't eat as far as I can tell, and enjoys playing practical jokes on people. Have fun!

Whyyyy is that my legacy. :| by Chatvert on 2015-09-20 00:14:00 UTC Reply

Thank you for the Bleeprin! Mine's all gone off by now, I suspect. And the Mini sounds quite adorable. :D

I know of you from Plurk, but I'm not following you there. We can change that, if you want? ^^ It's not necessary, though.

Welcome back to PPC Life!

Dai! by Chatvert on 2015-09-20 00:13:00 UTC Reply

Ah yes, I've seen you around! Didn't realize you were involved in the PPC, too...

No worries! ^^ by SMF on 2015-09-20 00:19:00 UTC Reply

I haven't applied for Permission or anything.
Mostly, I beta. :)

Welcome (back) to Creation, here's your shovel. by Voyd on 2015-09-19 18:07:00 UTC Reply

Have a shovel enchanted to dig up whatever your standard Newbie Gift is!

I'm familiar with your username at least... speaking of July, I'm tied with her for second-most stories in the Department of Floaters. Tee hee.

Thank you! by Chatvert on 2015-09-20 00:12:00 UTC Reply

Which reminds me...I have QUITE the backlog of missions to write. B)

Hello there! by Desdendelle on 2015-09-19 17:30:00 UTC Reply

I've been here for... four years? almost, and I don't know you, so have a welcome-back gift of a cup of Earl Grey tea. No, it's not going to eat your face if you try to drink from it, promise.

I remember you! Because I am a lurker. by Chatvert on 2015-09-20 00:09:00 UTC Reply

I lurk. It's my thing. :V

And thank you for the tea, the description of which is in no way suspect. :P

Well, nice to meet you properly, then!

Take this plate of freshly-made SPaGhetti! And welcome back! You're... you're the guy who wrote Team Phoenix, no? :D

I'm still pretty new, only been around for a year and a half, so that'd be why you don't know me. Nice to meet you, though!

Oh no. Is that my legacy? D: by Chatvert on 2015-09-20 00:07:00 UTC Reply

Nice to meet you! o/ Also I'd like to apologize on behalf of twelve-year-old me. Because. Yikes. Need to do some severe retconning of all that!

Oh...oh God. That was half my life ago. I am officially a Lifer.

I just have a looot to retcon. I'm glad you found them enjoyable! And if you're looking for more with Alec, not sure if you're aware of these! and more to come.
