Watching Nanoha is a good idea.

Let's go back in time, and follow Agent Sergio Turbo in his first mission ever. Showing him the ways of killing badfic is the PPC's favourite nymphomaniac, Luxury!

*waits patiently for the other Boardars to read the mission*

And now, it's Wild Mass Guessing time!
What happened in Sergio's past? Who is Vera? Why she killed Ami? And why her assassination wasn't a normal PPC mission?

Nice one. by Ellipsis Flood on 2012-12-03 13:55:00 UTC Reply

I felt like hugging Sergio, if I wasn't afraid he'd shoot me. And Luxury was fun, as usual. The same goes for the mission proper. While I don't know the canon, I could follow pretty well.

The only thing that confused me a bit was the fact that I couldn't always tell who was talking.

Also, special mention goes to Luxury being written as more than a generic sex fiend.

The current one is huggable. by Sergio Turbo on 2012-12-04 17:34:00 UTC Reply

As you can guess by the other missions, he has mellowed out quite a bit.

Hehe, Luxury! by Lily Winterwood on 2012-12-03 08:17:00 UTC Reply

I really like what you've done to her, giving her a bit more depth beyond the HQ Ditz That Shags All Living Things. It's refreshing.

As for the guessing game, I noted that Sergio was a PMC, sooo...
Vera's a Sue, the PMC he works for was some sort of freelance Sue Slaying company, and Vera-Sue killed his partner around the same time the PPC sent Agents to deal with the Sue as well?

Or perhaps he was in a canon as an extra in some sort of military company, and a Sue got written in...

Thank you. by Sergio Turbo on 2012-12-03 12:48:00 UTC Reply

That was basically the idea I had of Luxury by reading her other missions and the Wiki page - she was a balanced, nice person... in an universe with the little "everyone sleeps with everyone" bit.

I am not going to say more about the guessings, but one of yours is pretty close. Of course, things aren't that simple (and it isn't ALL of his backstory), but then again sayng more woul be spoilers...

Good stuff! by Fish Custard on 2012-12-03 00:41:00 UTC Reply

Intriguing - I look forward to finding out more about Agent!Sergio's background.

This mission reminds me that I really need to sit down and watch Nanoha. I know enough about it to understand missions in its 'verse, but still!

(also, this one reminded me that Luxury is to stay at least three portals away from my agents at all times. :P That's if I have anything to say about it though...)

It's a refreshing take on the Magical Girl concept.
And afterwards, if you fancy something darker, Puella Magi Madoka Magica.

Seriously, I used to think that I was strange when I was a kid, as instead of Dragonball like all my male classmates I watched Card Captor Sakura, but Nanoha and Madoka made me like the Magical Girl genre again.

(It helps that those two are basically Gundam and Evangelion with Magical Girls instead of big robots, though.)

... I meant that I kinda want to read your guessing.
La-zor beem eyes? by SpecstacularSC on 2012-11-29 18:29:00 UTC Reply

I liked the laser beam eyes bit.

"If I could fire lasers from my eyes, I would make your head ex-F***ING-PLODE!" - SC, Specs and Co. canon, seconds before such events occurred.

What can I say? Incendiary vision is hilarious.
