especially the idea of a triangle-headed human 🤣 and the moaning 🤣🤣🤣. However, I don't see the charges being read out prior to execution; is that okay?
P S: I'm considering starting a spin-off page for your writing, are you alright with that?
It's been a while, but here you go!
Here's a short interlude involving litmus strips. It ended up becoming a prologue of sorts to the mission, funnily enough - it wasn't the original intention when I wrote it, but it fit surprisingly well.
Speaking of, here's Seasonal Filler, a mission featuring a NSFW fic that contains multiple Blacklist items (1, 2, 3, 6, 10, and maybe 9 off the top of my head). The setting is a crossover between Pokémon and Buzz Lightyear: Star Command, though the fic doesn't use either setting very much. The former is just used for some species and the latter is used for a single character replaced so much he only shares a name with the canon he 'replaces.' It's a weird fic.
Anyway, hope you enjoy!
Maaaaan. What did I just read. I feel bad that Jiwon and Charlie had to sit through all this, although Charlie’s deadpan delivery and aloofness reduce the grossness, as always. I am a little confused as to why Jiwon took anti-lustin, since he seems grossed out by the situation? Certainly not in danger of wanting to join in, or whatever.
I will give the fic one point, though: NOS-4-A2 turning into a Crobat was unexpected and funny. I also loved how understated the assassination of the Lucario was. I thought for sure a fight scene was about to ensue, and that only natural/flowing water could destroy a vampire, but nope! A bit of bottled Nestlé extortion is all that’s required! Love it. Funny that vampires would have water as weakness in a setting where a majority of the wild monsters can shoot water out of their mouths in some manner . . . (At least, it was a majority back in my day, not going to look up if it’s still true.) Lastly, I see the fic was published in 2011, and the author on a gothic, Medieval castle in the Pokémon world’s version of England . . . and then, years later, Sword and Shield come out with a huge focus on sports stadiums!

re:re:interlude - Glad you liked it! And yeah, it was a bard spell - if there’s one thing I kinda regret about writing Charlie, it’s not establishing their magic earlier at some point since it’s pretty neat. Fully agree with your litmus test thoughts, too - I think Lily put it well when she said the old tests were designed to ‘make your characters rock partridges.’
And now for the re:mission notes: For a first-time smut sporking, especially one like this, I wanted to make the actual nasty parts of the fic and how it affected the Agents clear to readers - it’s nice to see that it worked out.
Jiwon taking the Anti-Lustin was pretty much just him being cautious on his first smut mission - being grossed out and uncomfortable from the fic and the naked Suvians instead of anything further was helped by the pills. And glad to hear Charlie’s more or less consistent! I’ve been trying to keep their specific style of casual underreaction steady ever since reading my earliest missions and realizing how inconsistent their personality got then.
And yeah, I was… genuinely surprised at how much the fic itself weakened any vampire that wasn’t the Special one. Water kills them, garlic kills them, the sun kills them, little rosaries kill them - like, not even the original Stoker Dracula didn’t suffer that badly from those things. Made for an interesting kill scene though!
In that they’re super weak to everything.

Overall, nice stuff that I enjoyed reading.

Heh! I love how excited Charlie got over finding old equipment like that, but then, they're willing to blow it up to avoid hurting Jiwon's feelings. Hope they didn't trade anything too valuable/useful for the box! I guess that was a bard spell of some sort they used to destroy the box? That's cool; I didn't realize they could do things like that with their mandola!
Yeah, those old litmus tests were more focused on physical traits than on character interactions, which encouraged less creativity in character design, rather than encouraging greater creativity in dialogue and action. I suspect quite few a PPC agents—and canon characters, for that matter—would fail them.

Glad you found it funny! I'm pretty sure I did write a charge scene, though - it's kind of short, but it's there.
I do have to ask, though - what do you mean by starting a spin-off page?
Is like this. --Ls
I guess I'd be fine with that. Seems like an interesting organizational thing.
