Eh, no reason, really. I took three years of Spanish in high school, and Mariposa (meaning 'butterfly') always stuck with me 'cause it was pretty.
Hello! I'm a newbie here (obviously), but have highly enjoyed reading the various missions that've been posted on the wiki. Eventually, I'd like to write my own missions, purely because there is so much bad!fic and not as many Agents. My main fandoms are SGA and Leverage, though I've dabbled in a few others over my time. Feel free to call me whatever you like; I'll answer to most anything.
Thanks!

I don't know anything about either of those fandoms, but I'm looking forward to seeing what you write. In the tradition of the PPC Welcome, take this bladed yo-yo. You might want to keep it away from Mariposa, though. By the way, that's a great name for a cat. I hope it finds its way into your RC!
Oh, she definitely will. And thanks! I shall be very careful with the yo-yo.
*Glomps!*
You have now received training in the fangirl glomp. Go ye therefore and root out badfic. Welcome to the Boards! :D
Eee! *glomps back*
Have a lovely bar of foo! They're good for you, and will raise you to class level 6... if you get that far.
Thanks!
Hello and welcome! I give you a granite pillow; they're excellent for pillowfights at sleepovers and actually fairly comfortable (provided you've just been exhausted by a particularly mission or are comatose to some degree).
I've noticed, however, that although you were told you would recieve The Links, it seems no one yet has given you The Links, and therefore, I cannot in good conscience leave without giving you The Links that Link us to Linkworthy Links of Linking quality. (Silliness is contageous, I'm afraid.)
So, in relative order of sensible-reading-ness, there is...
* The Original PPC Series, which we assume you've already read
The Board:
* The Board Constitution
* The FAQ: For the Board
The Wiki:
* The PPC Wiki (which you've already seen)
* The very-important-to-read-before-requesting-Permission Permission article)
* Our (my!) Guide To The PPC
* The Mission Writing Guide
* The Slash-Sporking Guide
* The FAQ: For Newbies.
And finally, but very usefully,
* The List of Everything PPC
Awesomesauce. I've actually managed to find most of those links just from poking around the wiki, but thanks anyways.
I don't think, however, that I'll be tempted to sleep on the granite pillow, though I will probably be using it as a weapon, along with my cannon and my own personal cast-iron Frying Pan of Doom tm.
Hello! Have a seventeen foot long, multicolored, wool, knit scarf (curly wig not included), and a bag of jelly babies.
Please use them IRresponsibly!
Another SGA fan?! Yay!! There aren't nearly enough of us around here.
I've already got curly hair --though not that curly--, so I'm all set in that department.
I gift you with a mutated strawberry; if you don't want to eat it, it should work fine as a paperweight. Well, provided it doesn't grow legs and wander off, anyway.
Thanks! I'll put it in my Magical Infinite Carpetbag.
Have a panda that eats, shoots and leaves!
Awesomesauce!
Have a complimentary brother.
But what in the 'Verse am I going to do with him? I've already got two brothers and a brother-in-law...
And turn him into a mini!
Welcome! Have a Magical Infinite Carpetbag to hold all of this, cages for Mariposa, the first and only plover, and anything else living, and some chocolate.
Ooo, just what I needed. Thanks! *puts stuff into bag and pets into cages, then stashes the chocolate in a safe place*
Good to have another potential sporker! Have this genuine Civil War era cannon as a welcoming gift.
Shiny, something to go boom!
Hello! Welcome! Please accept this sparkly rock (pickaxe not included) as token of my welcoming spirit. Use it well, as either a paperweight or as a projectile weapon, though, I must warn you, if you choose the latter option you'll have to go and find it yourself. It isn't yet equiped with boomerang technology.

P.S. I apologize profusely for any spelling errors in this post. IE has no spell-check, and my limitted natural abilities in this field have been drained due to intensive exams over the past few weeks.

Erm... Is that blood on the rock? *carefully sets it down on her desk*
Fair winds!
A fellow SGA fan, YAY! Who's your favorite character? Mine is Rodney McKay.
Eheh. I'm a bit odd,in that I tend to like secondary characters. Um, let's see for SGA it's probably either Kavanagh or Zelenka.
You never know when you might need one!
*eyes the strange contraption warily* It's not going to go 'ping' at me for any strange reason, is it?
*waves*
Junco!
Good morning/afternoon/evening, and welcome to the PPC board! Have a pet cat. You may name her whatever you want.
Huzzah, I love cats! Hmm. What to name, what to name... I think I shall call her Mariposa.
Mariposa? An excellent name! Any reason, or it is just 'cos it sounds cool?
Eh, no reason, really. I took three years of Spanish in high school, and Mariposa (meaning 'butterfly') always stuck with me 'cause it was pretty.
Have an unpublished novel and a bowl of buttered salt.
What, no popcorn? No worries; I'll just pop my own.
Well, I like my salty butter to have a bit of crunch to go with it. *grin*
Welcome.
Some agents have freelanced in SGA so far, but I believe they all have their main priorities elsewhere. I don't know Leverage, but what I've read about it said to me it had good potential for a lot of bad Sues. So, you have your work cut out for you.
I've already seen a couple of Canon!Relative-sues in Leverage, so that should provide fodder for a few missions. The problem is, since the main characters are a) thieves and b) work in a tight-knit group, it might be hard for PPC agents to infiltrate said group and take care of the Sues. <br>
SGA, on the other hand, should be easy enough.
Welcome, my fellow food-named Agent! I gift to you...a coxcomb! It's a sort of silly hat with Shakespearean lineage.
I love silly hats! *immediately puts it on*
Hello and Welcome to the PPC Posting Board! Have some chocolate, and enjoy your stay here.
Thanks! *munches contentedly on the chocolate*
Welcome to the Board! Please deposit your sanity in the provided receptacle. *indicates bucket marked "Warg Fodder"* You shan't need it here. Also, here's a stick-on mustache.
*chucks sanity in bucket* Eh,I wasn't really using it, anyways. Ooh, mustache!
Pleased to meet you. Have a couple of nicely sharpened pencils, good for writing or fighting.
Thanks! I'll just add them to my rather jumbled arsenal of writing utensils, which I'll get around to organizing one of these days...
Welcome to the Board. Don't worry, although we're crazy, we're mostly harmless (just watch out for the flamethrower-wielding agents).
Someone will doubtless be along shortly to bestow upon you the Newbie Links, although since you've already found the wiki, you may be ahead of the game there.
Finally, may I offer you a platter of chocolate-covered profiteroles, a pet mongoose (available from the PPC Mongoose Shelter in RC 2816) and my hearty welcome to the insanity that is the PPC.
Elcalion, welcoming
Ooh, shiny! Chocolate and a serpent-killing carnivore- you sure know how to properly greet a lady. And don't worry; I'm used to insanity.
*grin*
