I figure Sue gems are incredibly tacky, but hey, they sell pretty well in HQ, so there must be some value to them other than shininess, right? Though it could also depend on the way said gemstones are described. Agents do wield Sue technology sometimes, too, though that's usually in the context of a mission or a dismantling after said mission...

I've had a fair number of pets in my time. A Dalmatian, three rats, two green anole lizards, a hedgehog, and two guinea pigs is the current count, though I'm sadly petless at the moment. I mostly draw on the fire-lizards from Dragonriders of Pern to model him on, though, since that's where he's from. :)

New mini-interlude! by Iximaz on 2017-02-19 01:58:00 UTC Reply

Alex Dives has a rough day in DoSAT.

This was cute! by Cat-on-the-Keyboard on 2017-02-24 04:31:00 UTC Reply

Poor Alex. Very nicely paced, too. I loved the delivery of the ruby, and that short, buoyant conversation.

There was one thing that surprised me (which might just be me being behind on PPC reading): Sue-made gems are high-quality? I always got the impression that everything or nearly everything Sues created was shoddily built out of warped reality and plotholes, and most everything would collapse upon exposure to a Reality Room (except for a few useless but shiny trinkets kept as trophies, which category I suppose the Hummingbird would fall under, but I don't imagine the repurposed ruby would be more useful than an un-Sue-contaminated one. Especially given how little Suethors generally know about what makes an ideal gem). I mean, imagine if agents could wield Sue technology! Given how overpowered most of it is, it would be a strain for them to keep from becoming Sues themselves.

I also want to say that I really liked how petlike Zeke acted. He reminded me of my cat, but not to such a degree that you'd written a cat rather than a fire lizard. I'm wondering: do you have animals? Do you model him after one of them?

Oooh... by son_of_heaven176 on 2017-02-19 04:58:00 UTC Reply

If Alex were a Pokemon, I'd be asking if he wanted some Burn Heal after that.

BTW, I think you a word here: and clucked his tongue Zeke.

Thanks for the fix. (nm) by Iximaz on 2017-02-19 04:59:00 UTC Reply

That was fun! by Aegis on 2017-02-19 03:06:00 UTC Reply

Or, Aegis vomits out his thoughts in a significantly less-than-orderly fashion, as per usual.

I liked it, actually. Makes me wonder what's put a bee up Farilan's [redacted] this time, but then it could just be her being her.

I appreciate seeing Olivine give Alex a kick in the pants, especially since it worked out so terribly for him. I hope we see more from the newest technician.

The moonstone reference was a nice touch, by the way.

Shame things didn't work out with Katie. I guess their love is just doomed . . .
