I probably should have mentioned that the fic is set back in mid 2006 (which is when I actually started writing it!). I note that Eesa is a new recruit, so she wouldn't have been around back then but how about Sive?
I'm close to finishing my latest mission, which has got Logan and Entropy into a bit more trouble than they can handle, between a dragon, a vampire Maia!Stu, and Radagast in the form of a giant grizzly bear!
While running away from the grizzly, they've accidentally left a portal to HQ open for too long, and the grizzly has followed them into the middle of the Cafeteria. With so many heavily-armed agents around HQ, taking care of the bear shouldn't be a problem, but it seems implausible for all of my other agents to happen to be in the Cafeteria at the exact same time as the portal opening.
Accordingly, I'm asking if I could borrow some agents for this scene, which will basically consist of:
1. Grizzly chasing Logan and Entropy into the Cafeteria (there's also the grizzly's pet lynx and a couple of Stus, but the grizzly's the main concern)
2. Agents eating lunch being startled
3. Agents drawing many, many weapons
4. Grizzly bear dying
5. Agents being returned intact and recognisable to their respective authors.
If you're happy for me to borrow an Agent or two, the main question I have is whether or not said Agent would be likely to carry a weapon with them in the Cafeteria.
This will result in two groups of agents: those running away, and those fighting. There's several bit character Elves, so plenty of targets for everyone.
While we're at it, does anyone want to adopt the lynx? It's Radagast's familiar, the "Grey Ghost Cat of Rhosgobel", counts as a Cute Animal Friend, and can only be seen by the light of the moon. It's called Prishada, but that can obviously be changed.

Agent Pads would respond by going dog and leaping joyfully into the fray.
Agent Oscar, however, would probably sidle away to check on his numerous honorary nephews and nieces remarkably quickly.
You're welcome to use either.
Lasa and Mombi of the Department of Angst tend to end up in the cafeteria when they're meeting up with Gypsy of the Division of Bad Het - Lasa would carry a crossbow and Gypsy a sawn-off shotgun, Mombi is usually unarmed. (They all have wiki pages in case you want any more details)
Trojie, also, could be in the Cafeteria. She would have her bell but doesn't tend to carry any other weaponry.
I have looooads of Agents, as you can see from my wiki userpage ( http://ppc.wikia.com/wiki/User:Cassie5squared ), so feel free to use any of the Action ones except Nat.
He spent a lot of time in the Cafeteria and the Lounge about that time, since he was between assignments. He would not be armed (except possibly with a hardcover book), and he would most likely hide or run away.
As for the cat, Agent Earwig would want it, but he doesn't come on the scene for another two years. Also, I find it amusing to think of an invisible cat wandering HQ. It MIGHT be visible in the Tomb of the Unknown PPC Agent, though. The names on the tomb are in ithildin, and they show up, so the cat might, too.

Their first mission (which takes place back in the summer of '09—I still need to write it) will take place before this, so it's likely that they'd visit the cafeteria between the summer and the time that you base your mission in. Both agents carry weapons. Check the wiki for any other information you might need, but Eesa carries daggers and Sive uses a shortbow.
I probably should have mentioned that the fic is set back in mid 2006 (which is when I actually started writing it!). I note that Eesa is a new recruit, so she wouldn't have been around back then but how about Sive?
She'd be a newbie at that time and a loner agent, too, but she'd be there. She turned 18 early in 2006, graduated in the beginning of May, and joined the PPC very soon after (about two or three weeks) when she decided to put her career on hold. Does that work with your time frame?
Depending on the time period of the mission, they'd be carrying different weaponry - they got their favourite weapons in October '07. Laburnum has an axe and Foxglove has a sabre. If it's set before then, they'd be carrying knives or some such. Laburnum's a Bloodwrather, don't know if that would help against a bear.
Don't use S&S, though - their original author may not be pleased.
Bloodwrath could be very interesting!
Knives it is, seeing how the fic is set back in 2006.
Thanks for the loan - do you want to have a look at the multi-agent section before it's posted?
Are you familiar with these two, or can you pick up what you need from the Wiki if you aren't? If you need more info on them I can tell you.
And their Wiki profiles, so think I should be ok.
Thanks again
