Yeah, I think something I've learned from having parents is that parents like being right, and they like their children to be happy with who they are. Correct me if I'm wrong.
Thomas and Orken get a rare vacation, and visit Thomas' parents on World One.

So yeah. This interlude actually has nothing to do with my last mission. It's just a story about Thomas and Orken being Thomas and Orken.
I loved how excited Thomas parents were that he was coming out. He had me convinced that he wasn't. I thought he was upset at lying over the job just like Orken. I like their interactions. They are one of my favorite pairs.

Totally right.
I really enjoyed this. Like LunarHuntress says, it's got a nice balance of silly and serious, and it's some great characterization for the guys, seeing them outside the usual PPC environment and talking about non-PPC things (even if some of those things are lies). The "Charleston Chews" bit is great. ^_^
I'm now trying to imagine Ilraen and Nume having a normal day on World One Earth. It... doesn't work. {X D Kudos to Thomas and Orken for doing as well as they did.
Also, I would like to pass on a hug for Thomas.

I kind of had this idea about Orken meeting Thomas' parents for months now, and actually wrote the first part of this story (up until Orken agrees to Thomas' plan) back in September, but couldn't think of how I wanted it to end. I'm really glad you liked it, and Thomas will take all hugs offered to him. :)
I really like Thomas and Orken. Their interactions are always so fun. Especially in this, where the beginning was just a funny story of agents bickering and being mistaken for gay, but the ending was really rather sweet. Well done.
I'm glad you liked it. I was really trying to write something a bit more Thomas centric, since my missions tend to focus a bit more on Orken then Thomas, and including the co-written interlude I did with Neshomeh, I have three other interludes dedicated almost solely to him.
