Did you ever have PPC dreams? by

This night I had a dream in which there was on TV a PPC anime, featuring in the scene I saw two of my Agents neuralyzing Nagisa and Honoka from Pretty Cure. (And Kyuobey from Madoka, oddly. But maybe it was a crossover badfic.)
So... Did any of you have a similar dream, and wants to share it? -
Sort of by

does it count if most of your ideas come from your dreams? Because if so, then yes- I have PPC Dreams.
Like this one time, where two faceless agents went into that Bieber concert movie and used it as an excuse to beat the everloving shit out fo him.
It was a good dream... -

I have daydreams about the PPC. Daydreams as in the fantasies I have when i'm trying to go to sleep. I'll make up a badfic, and have my agents react to it. Not sure that counts though. Probably not.

Which is an improvement. I used to make up self-insert badfic in my head. Now I do PPC missions.

I mean, he's some sort of crazy alien... thing. It might just slow him down until his little drone can reestablish its connection to the mothership or something. :P

Uh, no. Kyubey DOES take the form of a cat-rabbit-ferret thing, it's just there's a ton of him. Anyways, shooting him wouldn't work, since another of his bodies would just teleport in and eat the dead corpse. That said, is it possible to neuralyze other hive=minds?
Also, in one of the spin-off manga, another Incubator, named Juubey, eats the Grief directly from the soul gems, so... yeah, unless Kyubey can't do that for some reason, the witches shouldn't even come to exist pre-Episode 12. -

A magical girl who is willing to stain her hands with gunpowder? Finally one with a sensical weapon choice when Nanoha powerlevels aren't avaible.
Well, good thing I don't work in the Madoka continuum - exocising QB would be quite of an hard job. -

Hey, her power is to a) travel back to one specific point in time (basically a reset button), having an endless hammerspace shield and stopping time. So, she stopped time, walked into Yakuza headquarters/the Godzilla Defense Force, and grabbed everything that could possibly be counted as a weapon, including enough guns for a small civil war, several hundred rocket launchers, and a BATTLESHIP.
I think, after the two missions you and I are writing, one of our rescues will work there. -
Good luck to the rescues, then. by

And, in my opinion, single-use flintlocks are flashy but ultimately inefficient. A single decent SMG would provide the same about of firepower, at the same range and accuracy.
But then, I don't know how many of them Mami manages to conjure... -

Except his way is really inefficient. by

Well, if he could just eat the grief as it accumulates, then yes, it would be slower than the 'fall into despair, become witch, get defeated, eat the grief seed once it's been used up by a Puella' but it might be more efficient, since you can keep eating despair as a Puella Magi continues to live, so with, say, Sayaka, who didn't even last a month, he could have a) eaten the despair after she had become a witch and died, therefore getting rid of a producer of energy, or b) eat her despair directly from the soul gem, which means there'd be less amounts per eating, but she'd last much longer and therefore produce more grief total.

Creating new energy from grief seeds (or whatever they are) isn't going to work to avoid entropy.
Yeah, you'll avoid the "all the energy avaible has been converted into heat" end, but you'll end up with "we have still energy, but the universe is way too hot to sustain life" variant.
Yeah, it will take more time, but still a failure. (Unless the process is believed to convert heat in energy, but then is a blatant case of "the end doesn't justify the means". There HAS to be a better way to reconvert energy.) -
It probably doesn't matter by

Huh? I assumed that Kyubey was grossly simplifying the concept of entropy and his methods for Madoka--hence why he says the universe is losing energy, when it's really losing USABLE energy. I thought the Incubators had some magiscience way to use despair in a procedure which will fix slow entropy down.

Strangely, I can't remember if I have ever had PPC dreams, but I feel like I did. I don't normally remember dreams, but the ones I do remember are weird. The sanest, most recent one involved a bunch of teenage genius-girls trying to get to the moon, in a space-ship that had a bomb thrown in through the window. Somehow, replacing the shards of glass kept the bomb from exploding. And there was a sort of bean-shaped air-kayak thing... my subconscious can get really weird sometimes.

I can't remmber, but the words "dream" and "PPC" ring a bell...
I did once dream that I was Frodo and that me and Sam were captured by Sauron, but instead of killing us and taking the Ring, he tried to sell us a sofa.
O.o My subconscious is odd. -

Unfortunately, I never remember the details, just that the PPC was involved. In other news, I did dream last night that I kept spitting out my own teeth.

Here in Italy dreams about losing teeth are considered a bad omen.
(It is even said that if you dream that, somebody you know is going to die, but once I dreamt that my teeth were shattering and nothing bad happened, so I don't believe in that.) -

But I think it's just a sign of the fears I have resulting from inheriting poor teeth genes.
