As your gift, I bestow upon you a toaster, complete with polka-dots in Suvian colors and the ability to shoot pastries at high velocity. Don't try cinnamon rolls, though - trust me, they don't fit.

Here, have a self-aware adjective. Your very own Awake requires lots of caffeine, so be careful!

Thanks for all your gifts! I'm familiar with the popular fandoms like Harry Potter, Pirates of the Carribean, etc. Alright, I take that back, my only fandoms are Harry Potter, Pirates of the Carribean and The Lord of the Rings. My favourite's The Lord of the Rings, as no words can really express how awesome it is. Same goes with the PPC. :) I am also familiar with The Matrix, but that's about it. Once again, thank you for your warm welcome.

Hey, I'm the Time Engineer.
I'm (relatively) new here as well, and You might not see to much of me.

As a welcome, I present you with a portable Hobbit Hole.
Use it in good health and Roleplaying!

Hi there! Here, have an infinite-ammo bandana! (Metal Gear Solid reference)

I'm The Mind Tool. You won't really see much of me on the board, as I'm mostly on the IRC, but it's good to have new members.

Hallo there! I'm somewhat new myself. Here have a potato, it's great for throwing, eating and you can use it to make a potato clock!

Hello. As for getting familiar with the Board, the first step, of course, is telling us a bit more about yourself. For starters (as you've been asked twice now), what are your fandoms?

For example, mine include Pokemon, Artemis Fowl, Star Trek: Voyager, Final Fantasy VII, X, XIII, and XIII-2, and (just recently) the 39 Clues series.

Welcome, welcome!
For your gift, I hereby grant you a lined Infinite Notebook (complete with urple covers and wilver binding) for you very own. Don't look at it straight on.

Welcome to the PPC! We love newbies here! Leave your sanity at the door, and come on in!

As a welcome gift, have some music by the one, the only, Henri Dutilleux: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ci5E-BCxSQ

Since today is AidilFitri, have some virtual kuih bahulu. Enjoy your stay, and be mindful to read the required readings in case of questions. Have any fandom of interest in particular?

Nice to meet you! Have a diurnal owl - perfect if you happen to exist in the Harry Potter universe, but a little difficult to work with if you don't.

Greetings, new friend! Have a horse of a different color!

Hey welcome, here have an urple colored pencil you never know when you may need it.

What fandoms are you into?

Hi! I'm Aya, and I'm pretty new, too... well, I joined yesterday. So very new.

I understand I am supposed to shower you with some form of gift for your joining -an Orcrist replica alright?

Welcome to the Board! Have some of my world-famous hydrophobic water to commemorate the event. Spawns rectangular squids in its spare time.

If you want to know more about the PPC's universe, I suggest heading on over to our finely crafted wiki and reading about pretty much anything that catches your eye. If you want to get started on the lore, The Original Series is exactly the thing to read. Don't forget to take a look at our house rules, conveniently stored in our Constitution.

As for me, I'm SeaTurtle: low-key contributor, annoying voice in the background, and completely unsolicited expert on most things related to the PPC's equivalent to Hufflepuff House Department of Intelligence. Pleased to meet you!

If you don't mind me asking a few questions: what fandoms are you into? What brought you here? Read any good books recently?
