Um.. hi! by Something Blue on 2010-12-12 22:55:00 UTC Reply

Hiya! I'm new here, usually go by Something Blue, and have a friend Hoshi who will hopefully shortly be joining me here.
I like Warriors, the Dresden Files, Discworld, (new) Doctor Who, Harry Potter and assorted other continua.
So. Yeah.

Hello! by BookwormMika on 2010-12-14 13:20:00 UTC Reply

Have a generic book of your choice.

Thank you. by Something Blue on 2010-12-14 17:14:00 UTC Reply

If I keep it generic, can it turn into something at a later date?

*shrugs* Sure. (nm) by BookwormMika on 2010-12-15 00:20:00 UTC Reply

Hello, have an Adamantium Knife. by caddy-shack on 2010-12-13 22:50:00 UTC Reply

It's about the size of a regular knife, and is around the same weight. Make sure to use it for the good of canon everywhere.

Ooh, shiny. by Something Blue on 2010-12-14 02:18:00 UTC Reply

Thanks!

Well met rookie! Please enjoy this oversized foam cowboy hat as a welcoming gift.

Thanks. by Something Blue on 2010-12-13 16:31:00 UTC Reply

*dons hat* *examines self* *takes off hat and sticks in a pocket*

Have a Cheetah! by WikiMaster on 2010-12-13 12:55:00 UTC Reply

Do not feed it Sues or Stus.

Why, thank you. by Something Blue on 2010-12-13 16:02:00 UTC Reply

I will not. I *like* felines.

Welcome! by Sergio Turbo on 2010-12-13 11:30:00 UTC Reply

Have a folding car. It becomes a rather heavy case when not in use. However, do not put it near fragile objects. The flding mechanism is faulty. As nearly all the tech here.

...thanks? by Something Blue on 2010-12-13 16:01:00 UTC Reply

May I take that to mean that it's suddenly going to expand and become a car when I'm not looking?

Yes, it can. Sorry. Lwas of Narrative Comedy, you know. (nm) by Sergio Turbo on 2010-12-13 20:03:00 UTC Reply

Hello, fellow Doctor Who fan! by Silikat on 2010-12-13 07:33:00 UTC Reply

May I ask, new series or old?
Anyway, have a pet cat and a Pie of Rassilon. You may name the pie whatever you wish, and eat the cat. No, that's not right...

Yep! by Something Blue on 2010-12-13 15:59:00 UTC Reply

New series. Possible reasons are that a) it's the only one on Netflix Watch Online, b) it has Ten in it, or c) I just like it better.

I will call the cat... Green.

Hello! by Sylibane on 2010-12-13 02:28:00 UTC Reply

Have some Bleepermint Bark! It's made with Bleepolate (chocolate and Bleeprin) and crushed up candy canes. (If you're an avian or cannot have chocolate, sorry. I might be able to come up with a substitute.)

Re: Hello! by Something Blue on 2010-12-13 02:36:00 UTC Reply

Ooh! Thanks! I -can- have chocolate, but it's probably a bad idea, it makes me ridiculously hyper and I'd rather not be incoherent or blowing stuff up. *sticks the Bark in her pocket. In a plastic bag, mind you, she's not making that mistake again*

In that case... by Sylibane on 2010-12-13 02:45:00 UTC Reply

Save it. You never know when that might come in handy...

Re: In that case... by Something Blue on 2010-12-13 03:07:00 UTC Reply

Suggestion duly noted and followed. Good idea.

Welcome, have a Hippie Sequoia bobblehead! by TheLowtide on 2010-12-13 02:24:00 UTC Reply

This limited-edition bobblehead was made in the likeness of the Hippie Sequoia, head of what may have been the first ever division of the department of Mary Sues, the Star Trek Division. Feel free to trade with your fellow boarders to get the whole set! Also, I will not be held responsible for any damages incurred by incinerating any of the bobbleheads in effigy of one of the larger, actual flowers.

Next, I have a set of eight very important links that every boarder and every PPC'er should read. Without further delay, I give you The Links!

All of these are super-useful, ultra-important to read, and mega-helpful when one needs to write for the PPC or try to understand some of the more exotic terms we may throw around. Enjoy!

*pokes bobblehead* I found an Einstein one of these in the bottom of a creek at a science lab once. Still not sure how it got there.
I've read a couple of those, but thanks for the others. *begins reading avidly*

Good to have you a-Board! by doctorlit on 2010-12-13 02:05:00 UTC Reply

Welcome, new friend! Have something old, something new, and something borrowed!

Heh. by Something Blue on 2010-12-13 02:18:00 UTC Reply

Heh. Thanks. Y'know, if you ignore the fact that about half of them are bloodthirsty, insane assassins, PPCers seem to be quite nice.

Slander! by Cassie Cameron-Young on 2010-12-13 06:51:00 UTC Reply

We're ALL bloodthirsty, insane asassins, thankyouverymuch.

XD

Nah, not really. Assassination is only a part of what we do here at the PPC - exorcism and untangling's a big part too! Though all in all, it just boils down to getting along as best we can, and finding badfic to point and laugh at. We're a big, slightly mad family. ^_^

Have a bag of pebbles and a Random Shiny Object as a welcoming gift from me.

*grins* Thanks!

Eee, another newbie! by Pretzel on 2010-12-13 01:07:00 UTC Reply

Hello, and welcome to the PPC! I hereby bestow upon you three things:

A large plushie Companion Cube (guaranteed not to stab you and which you don't have to incinerate in an Aperture Science Emergency Intelligence Incinerator), a Bag of Near-Infinite Holding, and a Frying Pan of Doom^tm. May they serve you well.

Frying Pan of Doom, did you read that story? by Something Blue on 2010-12-13 01:12:00 UTC Reply

*grins, hugs plushie, transfers tall ship into Bag*

Yes, yes I did. by Pretzel on 2010-12-13 01:14:00 UTC Reply

You're the first to know where that came from. ^^

It was a very good story. by Something Blue on 2010-12-13 01:22:00 UTC Reply

I have to read more stuff set in that world. The author's pretty awesome. Although some of the stuff in that Tales of Enchantment book creeps me out.

I haven't read it in years, by Pretzel on 2010-12-13 02:20:00 UTC Reply

but the Frying Pan of Doom stuck with me.

Re: I haven't read it in years, by Something Blue on 2010-12-13 02:24:00 UTC Reply

It was a great concept. Also it turned people into giant hard-boiled eggs, which is a plus.

...Huh. Clearly I've got to re-read this story.

Welcome! by Sonne on 2010-12-13 01:01:00 UTC Reply

Here you have a baloon. It's red so goes with you!

*tilts head* Red goes with blue? I guess it does, hmm. *ties balloon string around wrist*

Heya, person-who-is-slightly-newer-than-me! Have a stylish bowler!

Thank you also. *dons hat, gives Whin an umbrella in return*

Welcome. Here's a tall ship. by Khajidu on 2010-12-12 23:08:00 UTC Reply

Fair winds!

Now you can throw BBQs!

Thanks. by Something Blue on 2010-12-12 23:19:00 UTC Reply

Thank you. *shoves ship into pocket of hammerspace* Is it customary to give people sailing ships when they show up?

Everyone gives some random stuff. by Khajidu on 2010-12-13 09:13:00 UTC Reply

I happen to be giving tall ships. Be careful, they are sentient.
It is, actually. by Aeidhryn on 2010-12-13 00:36:00 UTC Reply

Tall ships. And always from the same person.

Have some cookies? And a bit of C4, from my new stash. Ran out of plastique when we had a bunch of newbies for a while, I'm afraid, but now I'm restocked! Yay!

Yay! by Something Blue on 2010-12-13 01:07:00 UTC Reply

Whee! Explosives! Sugar!

What better than a combination of the two? :D by Aeidhryn on 2010-12-13 01:27:00 UTC Reply

I'm glad you like them! ;)

Indeed. by Something Blue on 2010-12-13 01:33:00 UTC Reply

*runs around on a sugar rush eating chocolate and blowing up stuff, loudly humming*

I'm going to like you, aren't I? *hummm* (nm) by Aeidhryn on 2010-12-13 01:35:00 UTC Reply

*still humming loudly, but the tune is recognizably from the Doctor Who soundtrack* *blows more Generic Landscape up*

Re: :D by Aeidhryn on 2010-12-13 02:08:00 UTC Reply

*watches* Nicely done. You have tactfully kept it Generic, so nothing can really be argued about what was blown up.

*gives another bit*

Save for a rainy day.
