In “Agents and RC“:
His family was descended, through distantly, from the blood of a hero who had ascended to become a Heroic Spirit.
I guess you meant “though".

Hello, all! Ye gods, I can't believe I'm finally doing this - neither of us can. It's been ages. But hey, Permission Application is happening one way or another.
So! Here be the writings of the two of us:
Agents and RC
Control Prompt
Random Prompt
These were all beta'd by the lovely Neshomeh, who was a huge help, as well as Granz and Thoth. And if there's someone I have forgotten, I am so sorry - please point it out in a response. I don't think I have, but human error is a thing and this took a long time. At least in my eyes.
And here be our chosen first badfic: Queen of the Mobs, a Minecraft fic. This story is riddled with SPaG errors, from minis to multiple tense shifts within a single sentence. It also has rather a fun Sue to its name - the aforementioned 'Queen of the Mobs' - who is related to both Steve and Herobrine, though the latter seems to have been forgotten after about five paragraphs (being generous). Plus a Story of Twu Wuv. With Herobrine.
I give unto you a Neon Genesis Evangelion reference:

Thank you, good Boarder, for filling a void.
When I looked at your specific post, all the text below it was boldfaced.
Anyway, congrats! Here's a Pink Slime (from Slime Rancher) as a good-luck-on-your-PPC-writing present! Its coral hue is scientifically proven to be the color of cheer.
But thank you so much for the Slime! I love that game, even though I've never played it, and the Pink Slimes have always felt so freaking happy. *takes the slime and hugs it*

Do I know you?
I've certainly seen you both around, at least. Check.
Can you write (technical)?
I didn't notice any SPaG errors or run-on sentences. Solid.
Do I like your agents?
Their profiles look solid (Though I did raise an eyebrow at the 'warped' sense of morals for Alexander until you clarified it was thanks to his medieval upbringing), and I particularly like the detail about Ce'rana needing to carry an acorn from her home tree to survive. The control prompt mentioned her keeping her tree in the RC... I assume it's either been shrunk down and potted, or it's rather young?
Do I like your prompts?
I liked them! The bickering over how to move into the RC in the first prompt was fun and gives me a sense these two are going to argue about the 'proper' way to do things a lot, especially since it felt like both of them were convinced they were right and their partner was wrong. I liked the second prompt better, though—it showed how they work together, and it was creative in how the agents interacted with the Minecraft world to take down the Sue. And it made me actually laugh in places— “You know, this would be a lot nicer if you were a Ghast.”
The brightly-colored Blaze took offense to that, if the number of fireballs focused directly on him was anything to go by. in particular made me giggle.
Badfic?
Even I've heard of this. Looks good to me.
So, it is with great pleasure, I get to say...
(Other PGs, this does bring up a question, though—the last time two people applied to write together was for me and Randa, but since I was the main writer I was the one who got the Permission—I assume that, since Mikel and Cali are both going to be writing, they have Permission independent of each other?)
Oh my gosh! I almost can't believe we actually have our Permission now. Just... gods, it's been six months of us working together. Six months on one pair! Granted, most of it was waiting around for beta replies, but still... just... gods.
So happy.
Please accept these self-updating guidebooks of all the deathtraps in the multiverse. Make good use of them.
Congratulations, both of you!
See, I told you guys you had nothing to worry about, now didn't I? :-D
Re: how the granting works, I'm not a PG, although by my recollection they're both granted permission according to the wiki. I could be misremembering, though.
