After quite a lot of beta work from the incomparable Iximaz and Larfen J. Stocke, esq., I am extremely proud to present the inaugural story of:-
The Non-Propaganda Communications Division! -

Scape provided the shirt, and I just photoshopped the rest.

And a Flower so obnoxious that even the other ones can't bear its presence. Not that the sympathy for them go much further than that, they're still inflicting it on other Agents to get it out of their way. These ones get all my sympathy.
Now, I wonder where that bogus Department will go from there... -

Yeah, the Shallot's great fun to write, as I've said elsewhere. He's a pompous, officious little berk, and he'd be a lot more unpleasant if he had any actual power. =]
I've not read a huge amount of Stephen King, and I've never even seen a copy of The Tommyknockers as far as I remember, which I admit isn't saying terribly much. I'll take your word for it about the comparisons. =] -

Right! I really liked this. The characters were fun, and the juxtaposition of comedy and serious drama was pretty solid (and if you weren't expecting it... have you ever READ Scape's stuff? :-P).
Also, The Shallot is wonderfully hateable. Maybe just because I'm a programmer, and the majority of programmers, IME, have a loathing of those sorts. -
Yeah, the Shallot is an absolute joy to write. by

He's got the same appallingness as the Notary, but in an entirely different way. It's a hoot. I'm glad you like having him around (if such a thing is the right term for that unrepentant berk). =]

Technically, the NPCD is an offshoot of the Postal Division, but one wonders if the Shallot and Otik have even been in the same room together. I'm not even entirely convinced they didn't just draw straws for it. =]

I also took the liberty of throwing together a quick & dirty version of the division's page, which you should of course expand/modify as you see fit. I'm sure you'll understand if I leave the Shallot to you altogether. {= )

Thanks so much for doing that. =] by

I'm going to have to bash out the Shallot's page in my own time - and slap together a picture of the plant himself. This has at least taught me what shallot flowers look like, and they're actually quite pretty. =]
Oh well, at least I've got his mug: -

It's far more telling you thought it was about you. :P
Oh! While you're here, I just thought you ought to know, Zeke is doing great! Thanks for trading those eggs, because I don't know what I'd do without him. -

--when is anything not about me? ;) No, no, I jest (mostly); like Agent Soul said (that is you up there, right?), it's pretty standard practice for the Flowers to invent a role just to make someone feel speci... ah, useful.
I'm glad to hear he's doing well; I'm reasonably sure Ilwion checks in on the kids occasionally (well, I think that's where he vanishes to), so if you see a strange bronze hanging around, it's probably him.
