*sidles back in* by The Trojanhorse on 2010-10-14 06:09:00 UTC Reply

Uh, hi guys :)

Just, y'know, dipping my toes back in the water here. I am aware that I kind of freaked out after that whole Boosette 'the PPC are bullies' thing and when I became aware that my freakout was colouring the whole PPC experience for me (a realisation that took longer than it should have) I sort of, uh, ran away.

*coughs*

But I am feeling much more stable in the brainpan on the issue now and so I am back. I just had to cut any and all meta out of my diet :)

So, anyone up for cake, jelly and icecream?

Welcome back! by Mystia on 2010-10-16 16:50:00 UTC Reply

Heya Trojanhorse!

I know I saw you around back before I vanished, but now we're both back--so yay!

Glad to see you again and here, have some chocolate to replace the meta! :D
Hey, it's a Trojie! by Elcalion on 2010-10-16 12:35:00 UTC Reply

Welcome back - I've just delurked after a week away on a work ~~shameless junket~~ conference, and what do I see but a returned Trojie (and a few other posts).

Good to see you back around the Board.

I friended yours. Mine's here: http://rc88.dreamwidth.org/
I think there's some stuff up there you might not have seen, though I don't know how interested you'd be.

And Pads is the main 'admin', as it were, on the RC45 one. We don't really use it as a reading list, more just somewhere to store missions. Sorry!

Ah well. Thanks anyway. by Laburnum on 2010-10-16 10:34:00 UTC Reply

Hi there! by Agent S7 on 2010-10-15 19:01:00 UTC Reply

I'm AgentS7, a newbie. Nice to meet you! I read your DOOM fanfic sporking, and there were quite a few lulz to be had there. From what everyone's saying, you're pretty important to the PPC. I guess I'll be reading some of your missions once I finish TOS! :-)

And here--take this Shark-Launcher. (It doesn't actually launch sharks, though. It just launches Robot Sharks. They were out of the "Real Shark" kind...some kind of PETA lawsuit.)

Sounds interesting, thanks!! by The Trojanhorse on 2010-10-15 19:58:00 UTC Reply

No, not important, just been around a while, that's all :) Nice to meet you!

Of course you're important! You are our shining Slash star! You are our Trojie! *glompity*

You seem to have developed a fanbase. Is it the cake?

It must be the cake by The Trojanhorse on 2010-10-15 19:57:00 UTC Reply

Otherwise, it's a little startling. Nice startling, but startling!

How could you not? by Aeidhryn on 2010-10-16 02:48:00 UTC Reply

You've been
A) gone a loooong time
B) Pads' partner (and pads semi-recently created a stir by leaving)
C) Writing a heck of a lot
D) Taken on a Legendary Badfic
E) probably the model of a Slash Department writer. The kind we point a finger at when people say, "wha? you don't just slay Sues? Omgeezies!1!!"

Did I forget anything?

Nah, but if I stumble upon your name way more than twice on the Wikia, you've done something worthwhile. I think.

Plus, you're a Narnia fan. Who doesn't like another Narnia fan? Well, at least no one dislikes Narnia, but that's not the point...

Um, Hi Troije. by TheLowtide on 2010-10-15 16:20:00 UTC Reply

It's nice to hear that you're back, even if Troije and Pads are retired for good. I'm TheLowtide, a newbie around here, and I'm quite glad to see you around. Your missions were my introduction to the PPC, and I was quite sad to hear about the, um, wig-out and subsequent retirement of Pads. But it's still nice to hear that you've come back, even if it's only to chat. I guess I'll see you on the board!

Oh, and because it's already here... *Omn Noms some icecream*

I've recently heard about the Boosette incident as well. Although I was a little discouraged about participating here after reading about it, the feeling quickly went away a few hours later.

Anyway, good to see that you're back, Trojanhorse. Hope you continue to participate as much as you possibly can.

Can I ask what the Boosette incident was? I seem to have missed it.

I have nothing to give but hugs, but they don't run out. {= ) *hugs*

I'm all for cake and ice cream, but how does jelly fit in? Also, is that the sort of jelly that we would call by a different name in America?

~Neshomeh

*hugs* by The Trojanhorse on 2010-10-15 19:52:00 UTC Reply

Hugs are awesome ^_^

Jelly ... it's like, you put it in a mould and it wobbles? There are other kinds?

Sorry, I was out late last night and I'm kind of incoherent :)

Oh, that! by Neshomeh on 2010-10-15 20:05:00 UTC Reply

Yeah, we generally refer to it by the brand-name, Jell-O, or just jello. Sometimes gelatin. Jelly is stuff that you spread on toast, like jam or marmalade or preserves, but it has no seeds or bits of stuff in it. {= )

I still wouldn't eat it alongside cake and ice cream, but then I'm not much of a fan to begin with.

~Neshomeh

Well how about some ... by The Trojanhorse on 2010-10-15 20:17:00 UTC Reply

Nope, not dropped off anything really :)

*cough* Do you think you'll be writing again? by Wide Eyed Idealist on 2010-10-15 03:36:00 UTC Reply

Just because I know you've been working with Pads forever, and since she's still gone, I didn't know if you'd want to start up again...

If this is a sensitive subject, then I'm sorry to bring it up. I was just curious.

Is 'we'll see' an answer? by The Trojanhorse on 2010-10-15 03:40:00 UTC Reply

Because failing that I could go with 'maybe' :)

I don't think I'll ever get back to the prolificness of the past few years, and I'm pretty much definitely retiring Agent Trojie (because Trojie without Pads isn't really possible any more), but there may be a few more missions eventually.

Right now I'm more caught up in my own fic and original fiction anyway :) But as I say, we'll see!

I can definitely understand that. I'll miss Agent!Trojie, but there's certainly plenty to read already. *bows* And I completely understand why.

And best of luck with the non-PPC-related stuff. Is it posted anywhere that I might see it?

I am the wrong person to give a gun to by The Trojanhorse on 2010-10-14 21:15:00 UTC Reply

For a start, I am frightened of them. Additional issues are my habit of having panic attacks and my complete lack of depth-perception.

The thought is appreciated though :)

Oh, sorry. by Sergio Turbo on 2010-10-15 09:49:00 UTC Reply

I should be more careful about gifts to give to newbyes or to people that get back after a while...

What about a car that folds in a case? Since an old Mary-Sueish character I used a while ago had some of them and I'm thinking of killing him I think I can get some of them.

Even if your agents do not have a driving license, it is still a shiny thing to keep in a RC. (ANd potentially funny - what happens if the folding mechanism malfunctions?)
