Ok, so apart from the fact that they breed like rabbits, what's a Tribble, and how do I house one...safely?

Dear All At PPC,
My name (obviously) is Ruin Takada, and I would like to become a member on this great site. I have been a fanfic author for over two years, and I have seen some pretty horrible things on there in my time. Rather than disconnect myself from the site on which I reside most of the time, I wish to do something about it, and clear up the filth that is Sue-ness! I am ready to join, and will do so as either a Boarder or an Agent, I'm not too picky (although preferably as an Agent). Thank you for reading this, and please reply soon. -

You would think that such a valuable implement would be standard issue here . . .
I didn't bring an extra towel, as I'm new myself . . .
But you can share mine . . .
P.S. I like ellipsis. -

Yeah, Douglas Adams has proven the value of the great towels, but we Earthlings just seem to underappreciate our own. Don't worry, I'm from a big family, so I've got plenty of towels with me at home to choose from, so really I'm able to give YOU a sapre one!

Hi there!
Have some Awesome Sauce (it is sauce which is awesome), and a bag of funny little green pills (if you find out what they do I'd love to know)! -

Cool...er, I mean, 'Awesome Sauce'! When I find out what the pills do, I'll tell you, and may just add a page on wikipedia explaining it! Thanks for the gift. *Waves back*

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 some jam and beer.

Oh, thanks for thinking my name's pretty. Also, I won't be needing the sanity receptacle - I don't think I ever had one to began with. Still, the jam is VERY much appreciated. Not the beer, though. Sorry 'bout that.

Keep it in complete isolation and don't feed it more than the tiniest morsel per day. Say a grain of rice. They like grains. (Not feeding them after midnight probably isn't a bad idea, either.) They're basically an exercise in the Malthusian principle of population, only on fast-forward. And possibly crack.
Also, welcome, and first poke! *pokes*

Look in google images for "the trouble with tribbles" and you'll see ;)
As for housing, you'll need a big one. They took over a space ship in a matter of days! -

Nice to meet you, Ruin (may I call you that?), I'm Makari.
I shall shower upon you the traditional newbie-gift. In my case, it's a flame-retardant leash and harness set, brain-sized. Just on the off-chance that your mind tries to wander.
Look forward to seeing you around. ^^ May I inquire as to your favored fandoms, and your work~? -

Yeah, you can call me Ruin: I usually ask people to do that anyways. Thanks for the harness, it'll be really useful... anyways, since it's 'brain-sized', does that mean the size is relative depending on the user??? (>O
For my work, just go onto fanfiction.net, and do an Author search on my penname (incidently, it's the same one as the one here). So far, I have done stories for DN Angel, which haven't been completed as I accumulated more brain-cells and dropped them, a few on Death Note (yes, THAT controvesial anime/manga piece), and one on HollyOaks, the British soap. The best one to read as an example is 'The Art of Subconscious Illusion: Rewritten'. It isn't finshed, but it's better than the original, and I feel that this will shape up to be my best when it's done. -

Hey, feel free to pull up and stay awhile. You'll need to in order to become an agent. (A month.) In the meantime, I hope you have fun. See you around!

Thanks for the advice, I think I will, just so that I can clear up the filth myself, and perhaps show the evil Mary Sues why my name's so detrimental!

You mean like the 4th (I think) Doctor Who? Cool, I have a big scarf already, but I need a new one anyways. If I ever become an agent and go on missions, I'll be sure to wear it! I'll eat the jellies at my leisure.

Yes! Exactly like the 4th Dr. Who. Yay! I have been waiting for someone to mention getting my reference.

Yeah, funnily enough, this isn't the first time I've heard the reference being made: The first time was when I was wearing my own long stripy scarf for school, and a friend of mine was like, 'Are you trying to be the Doctor, or something?' Ironically, I wasn't. But yeah, I get it.

Hi, Ruin, it's pretty neat that you want to join us.
You're welcome to hang around the Board as a Boarder, but for to write PPC missions, you should wait around at least a month and be active here as well. ^_^
