So, I think this works... typing and all.
"Hi, I'm Gryphongirl, Neshomeh dragged me into this, so it's all her fault."
I believe this is what I'm supposed to say, yesno?
Much love to all PPCers
~Gryphongirl
Or. Whichever spelling works. Anyway! Hi! Here is a towel for you! *hands over said towel, which is most fluffy* Hope you have fun here!
It's very important for space-time travel. *snuggles*
If you like it, I can begin mass producing!
Mommy, can I keep it? It's so shiny and pointy and... repells unwanted sexytime? Umm...
Nice to meet you :D
A pleasure for your acquaintance, as well.
Here's a nice shield from the Raven Armory. (Sorry about the belated welcome.)
*admires* shiny...
Oh, hi! (you are forgiven, and the shiny helps, too)
*drops a large stack of books and rushes over* HIIII! I'm PitViperOfDoom, one of the many faces of insanity here at the good ol' PPC. I hope you've disposed of your own sanity already. It won't do you much good here.
I gift you with a weighted companion cube and a sock full of rocks. I'm sure they'll prove useful.
I have checked all of my pockets and discovered that I don't, in fact, have any insanity on me. It's never done me much good.
Hooray! They will never give me bad advice, and cannot, in fact, speak. Except maybe the sock...
Sanity. I contain none.
...also known as a Transdimensional Pocket Knife.
Lovely to meet you. You are doomed. Just thought you'd like to know that. :)
Cake! How... convenient!
A what!? That is probably the coolest thing ever! ...except maybe a sonic screwdriver...
Doom now comes in fun-size. :D
Have a winged kitten, and watch out for giant glass jars.
I love Catwings! I name it... Pessi.
Please don't put me under a glass,
Take it away! How crude, how crass!
The warning is because when I first showed up, I got stuck in a giant glass jar with two other newbies to study our breeding habits... at least, I did until jabbuk d'eldrin blew up said jar with C4.
Welcome to the insanity. For your pleasure and entertainment, I hereby present you with a bag of pebbles (good for throwing at Sues) and a Random Shiny Object.
Lovely to have you here.
I loves da shinies! Not sure who forgot to inform you not to give me projectiles, though. *tosses meaningful look and pebble at Neshomeh*
Welcome to the PPC! Please deposit your sanity in the provided receptacle. *holds out bucket marked "Warg Fodder"* We don't have much use for things like that here. I also gift thee with hugs and a shiny. Use them well.
-Mad Maudlin
... I'm afraid I'm not carrying any sanity on me... I do have some antibacterial sanitizer... And... Shiny!
Have a shapeshifting plushie! It generally sticks to cute things unless you like stuffed Nightmare Fuel.
Unless what? Oh dear; so much to understand, so little time online...
Nightmare Fuel
This. Forgot that not everyone has seen TV Tropes. If you're into that kind of thing, it can turn into Eldritch Abominations, which means cute cuddly stuffed Cthulhu, among other things.
Totally should've known that from MST3000...
*cuddles Cthulhu* Other things?
I have seen a stuffed Dracula, some unspecified unusually huggable tentacled horror, and an Eye of Sauron plush...
There's also been a chibi Lu Bu, complete with his halberd Sky Piercer and his prized horse, Red Hare. That's actually quite scary to certain people, namely every ordinary soldier in the Three Kingdoms era up until his death by strangulation and post-mortem beheading.
And welcome a'Board. How was the rest of your trip? And what on earth possessed you to listen to her and come over here? You realise there's no escape for you now, right?
hS
...it's funny, 'cause its spelled just like escape...
The trip was fantastic, minus the bed bugs and the skateboard floor, and oh, yeah, the leaking ceiling that no one in Maintenance cared about! Heh, but it's definitely on my "Return to this place someday" list. Just not that apartment. It was condemned right after we left. Nice...
*sails off into the West...*
What brought they from the foundered land
Over the flowing sea?
Seven stars and seven stones
And one white tree.
~Neshomeh, who's been trying to remember that for ages.
Especially that verse.
*offers you lembas*
Good to see the grand old traditions of dragging people here aren't fading away.
*pokes uncertianly* What are lembas? Can I eat it?
Proud to be a grand old tradition... slash strange pet. Neshomeh, adopt me? ^.^
I don't care what July says. I found you, I brought you home a'Board, and I'm keeping you. {; p
My Tolkien Companion, which my wonderful fiance found for me, defines lembas as follows:
The Sindarin name for a kind of travellers' food or "way-bread," baked by the Elves of Lothlorien. It resembled cram (the waybread of the Men of Dale) in purpose but not in effect, being quite delicious and greatly sustaining, the more so if it was not mingled with other foods. It consisted of light-golden meal-cakes which kept fresh for many days if left in their mallorn-leaf wrappings. (J.E.A. Tyler, 260)
I realize that this probably raises more questions, but I'm okay with this. ^_^
~Neshomeh
Well, I suppose I can be... community property? But always I owe allegiance to Neshomeh and ... fiance?
Sam and Frodo eat it in Mordor!
I... I never finished reading LOTR... In fifth grade. And I've never gotten around to starting again. It's on my To-do List of Doom, though. *looks up hopefully*
We might shamelessly encourage you to try again, but we won't condemn you if you never get round to it :)
Here, have an egg whisk! It's shiny, gold-plated, and, hey, it whisks eggs! It's also rather useful for getting rid of author wraiths and those pesky spambots. Use it for good and not much evil.
Welcome to the insanity! Enjoy your stay. ^_^
Hooray! I shall wear it with pride, and not a little insanity. (more like... a lot)
Mine now.
*drags away to feed chocolates to, away from everyone else*
Here, have a mutated strawberry. If it grows legs, you can always keep it as a pet.
*plans out an enclosure for wild strawberries to roam about in*
*poke*
I think I suggested something to the effect of that, not to quote me directly. If I had wanted that, I wouldn't have left that comma splice in there. {; p
Oh well. Welcome to the madhouse!
~Neshomeh
What's a comma splice? And I copied and pasted that directly, so there! :P Huzzoo for madness!
A comma splice is the act of using a comma to string together clauses which really ought to be separated by a period. In this case, what I should have written was "Hi, I'm Gryphongirl. Neshomeh dragged me into this, so it's all her fault."
Note the period in the middle of the line, creating two sentences where there once was one comma splice.
Feah not, young grasshoppah. You will learn. {= )
