Question concerning the DMSE&R by PitViperOfDoom on 2009-04-21 06:50:00 UTC Reply

If confronted with a Replacement Stu that has the annoying habit of coming back every time you kill it (coughHAPPYTREEFRIENDScough), is it possible to donate said annoying Stu to the DMSE&R as a 'live subject'?

...Another question. Is there a limit for the number of agents in a single RC?

(On a random note, I will be working as a Program Aide in a certain Girl Scout day camp this summer. Said day camp has a medieval theme, and in all day camps, camp names are mandatory for the PAs. Mine, this year, is Agent Adder.)

That will be all.

I say it'd be a great idea because then we have more test subjects for those personality dialysis tests we're doing. ;]

I do warn you, though, he's a Replacement Stu in a slashfic, and he's a replacement of Evil Flippy. He will be teetering between extremely horny and severely homicidal, so I suggest you keep him chained.

I hope we will find them chains. :] by Lily Winterwood on 2009-04-22 05:39:00 UTC Reply

Extremely horny and homocidical, huh? Better keep him away from the female scientists... that could lead to Melancholy Situations.

Though, the homicidal-ness shouldn't be a problem by PitViperOfDoom on 2009-04-22 06:22:00 UTC Reply

since he's almost been woobified beyond recognition. Not that he has a devastating new past (I actually did that once and managed to pull it off, not to brag or anything), but he's annoyingly apologetic and sensitive. Just... slap him or something if he starts crying.

Had a day camp like that when I was a scout by Gabriel on 2009-04-22 03:46:00 UTC Reply

'Twas fun. We were all disguised. I had a sword, an axe and a flail made of plastic tubes and plastic foam, and people kept stealing them. It annoyed me, because they didn't take good care of them.

In all likelihood, we're going to be helping the little girls make pointy princess hats out of construction paper and streamers. That's the sort of stuff we usually do. Yes, I am quite cynical concerning the girl scouts. But I will be bringing a plastic sword, and most likely, the little girls will be constantly stealing it. I will have fun, yes.

That and the stuffed elephant intended to promote environmental responsibility was made entirely of sparkly new polyester. Hypocrisy much?

Answer to the second question. by Cassie Cameron-Young on 2009-04-21 13:33:00 UTC Reply

My primary set of Agents is currently a trio - Cassie, Nat and Kelvin - but as far as I'm aware, most Agent teams are in pairs.

Back in the golden days of the PPC, i.e. before the LOTR movies came out, I've heard that Agents used to go around in threes quite regularly. However, the influx of badfic once the first LOTR film was released meant that there just weren't enough Agent teams to deal with it all, so the groupings were reduced to pairs. And, of course, there are Agents who don't have partners at all because of the understaffing.

And I've always had the image of most Response Centres being set up to only hold two Agents. My trio doesn't have so much of a problem, because Kelvin's an Elf and therefore doesn't actually need sleep as such. He's willing enough to kick back on the sofa and rest there.

There's usually two in a room, but... by IndeMaat on 2009-04-21 07:07:00 UTC Reply

you could try to put in more. It would be interesting to see how many agents you can fit into a room before they start killing each other.

I'm guessing not that many, though. Badfic tends to eat at a person's sociability, and makes them more likely to try to kill random people even without being crowded in a room.
