Subject: I guess that was the reason we created it.

That, and Agent Sedri was leaving behind a carpet soaked with blood. Something had to be done about it. Either way, I'm glad it's helpful :)
Kelok and Unger find badfic "love", a new recruit, a bizarre plot, and a new use for the debugger in this mission-- You Now Have 46 Hours (Part 1) (Part 2)
*Beta: PoorCynic
**The new Recruit and the erg have both been claimed by Bronwyn.
That was beautifully written, like the ones before it. ^_^ Gave me quite a turn when Unger was under the influence, but that's OK. :) Great job!
I figured I pick on Kelok enough. He's already been stabbed, shot, bit by a highly implausible attack turtle, and assaulted by the Sunflower's Witness, not to mention what is going to happen to him in their next mission. I decided it needed to be Unger's turn this time.
Miah, this mission was just amazing! I was actually, legitimately scared at the end, when Unger was getting possessed, and Kelok couldn't figure out what the Sue wraith was! It was just such an intense scene...I don't know, it was just really different and cool and imaginitive!
/end fanboy rant
Why is Holmes so frequently portrayed in such a weak and submissive manner? He really shouldn't be that much smaller and lighter than Watson. I just don't get it...
Out of curiosity, why did you have "erg" manifest as a little elephant?
It was the first random thing that popped into my head. I thought a tiny, red elephant was just so out of place that it would be worth a laugh.
I don't know why they do that with Holmes. It seems like there is almost no in-between. Either Watson is evil/domineering/abusive or he is a total woobie/wimp/incompetent. Holmes is always either stupid/abusive or stupid/submissive. There is no smart Holmes in badfic. I guess at least they are consistent.
I'm glad that you liked the mission.
Sorry, the fic was so ... er, you know- I stopped reading. But I hear the death was terrific. So congrats.
I didn't actually kill them in this mission, but it was an interesting ending. Thanks for trying.
Abuse = love. How about that. Seems all my long-cherished notions about tenderness and caring were hopelessly wrong. Thank you for enlightening me, FAN-OF-FIC-GIRL64. I'll be sure to send you a cursed piece of ancient Innsmouth jewelry pretty, glittery trinket to express my gratitude.
Okay, now that that's off my chest...
Do you have any idea, Miah, just how funny your missions are? I particularly admire your literal interpretations. I mean, seriously, 'random furniture manifestation'? 'Intensions'? You're killing me over here.
The ending sequence, with the Author-wr... I mean, Author-phantom slug, however, was just plain disturbing. How sick can you get, imagining that there's one of those living pieces of snot in a man's leg? That's gross, pure and simple. (I love the way your mind works.)
That whole slug thing reminds me of Robert Heinlein's SF-novel, 'The Puppet Masters', in which sluglike creatures from outer space attached themselves to people's backs and mind-controlled them. Hmmm... Now I want to read the complete version of the novel, and I only have the abridged edition. Darn.
...I think (for the gross comments). I'm glad you liked the intensions joke. That misspelling was just too good to let it go by without comment. I've never read Heinlein's novel, I was probably thinking of a Star Trek episode where slug-like creatures burrowed into Star Fleet officials' brains and controlled them in a coup attempt. It was gross then, too.
I hope I haven't unwittingly insulted you. The gross comments were really meant well. I love creepy horror stuff.
You didn't offend me. I was kind of kidding back at you.
By the way, did you like 'Summertime'? *angelic smile*
waste of time and brain usage. I think if anyone tried to sit down and read it closely they would lose IQ points. I sort of felt bad for the writer though, because there was a really nasty bit of flames in the comments on the story.
Definitely badfic and NSFB, but it was so stupid that I don't know if it could make a good mission.
I liked the slug idea, might use it myself if the right fic shows up.
Thanks. Feel free to use the slug idea anytime you want. It is appropriately gross in some cases. Don't forget you're urple Sue hazard equipment!
I need to catch up on your missions. This was very creative, I thought, and a pleasant read.
The small snippets of the fic I saw were a bit terrifying. I think you dealt with it quite well.
And I shall go archive binge when I have free time and need less sleep. :)
The plot was bizarre, and the definition of love was terrifying. Thank you for reading.
Good mission (Man, what's with the shippers, anyway? I have a feeling that Sherlock and Watson won't have sex or do similar lovey-dovey crap to each other anytime soon, if ever. I mean, can't they do their fic without derailing the two like this?). I've wondered though...what had inspired you with the sue-creature in the body?
I was writing this mission about the time the first discussion of More than Sues came about. I was already having some qualms about killing them, because well, Kelok is very much my avatar in these stories, and when he said he was starting the have sympathy for Holmes that was my feeling at the time. He was still soooooo OOC, but he was not being treated by the story the way a Stu is usually treated. I was feeling a bit guilty about planning to kill him. Then the thread came up about more than killing, and I decided to try to save them. I was chatting about the problem, and we went through pretty much that whole conversation of where could the Suefluence be centered. I realized that the only thing that was consistent through the whole fic was the leg wound. After that, I just came up with the slug idea, as a way to explain why the OOC was so much more extreme than is normal in possessions.
Nice. I still don't know the fandom, but even I can see how ridiculous that was. I like your phantom-in-the-leg; it was yuckuy, I'll admit, but creative.
(Also, YAY for the use of a Capillary Towel! :D)
without using a Capillary Towel, especially when they have something special they wear, Kelok's coat.)
