Adder and Deuce bring down a Communist revolution in the Avatar Universe.
I guess this happens before the whole April Fools Day insanity.
I liked the CAD's reaction.
you beat me to the first cake or death reference...
Great first mission! Your Agents are as amusing as I'd hoped.
This fic, though... my only coherent reaction is, "Whiskey. Tango. FOXTROT."
I mean, the random Communism in the zarking Avatarverse is bad enough, but the Rwanda thing sent me over the edge.
I highly doubt this author has seen "Hotel Rwanda." I mean, comment on the massacre of the Airbenders if you want to make a political point. Don't go dragging real genocides into it, kthx.
[/rant]
Loved the Eddie Izzard reference at the end. =P
S/he didn't even get it right, either. the Interhamwe were the ones committing the genocide, not the victims. I personally would like to see Romeo Dallaire and Paul Russibegina take turns punching this moron in the stomach.
Also, just for historical irony purposes, yesterday marked the 15th anniversary of the start of the Rwanda Genocide. Rather appropriate, really.
I didn't think anybody would recognize that Eddie Izzard thing. But, I suppose I underestimated the full extent of your obsession with... British things.
Eddie Izzard rocks, yes.
The thing that got to me was the name of the Sue. My older brother (who is as much an Avatar fan as I am, and introduced it to me in the first place) saw the fic and is convinced it was a troll. But it doesn't really read like troll fodder, but... meh.
Excellent, excellent. Made me happy to have reported it here.
I like.
Communism has no place in the avatar-verse.
Just FYI.
Looks okay to me.
Since her arrival in the RC, she'd grown quite accustomed to the steady dripping of the Urple-brown goo from the ceiling to the bucket they'd managed to borrow. In fact, it was quite lulling at times.

Before her, her laptop was turned on and her left hand rested on the keyboard, but somehow she’d managed to doze off while browsing her files.

But there was a reason that the Laws of Narrative Comedy were leaving her be for the moment, or rather, they weren't; they just weren't interrupting her nap with a mission.
Unfortunately for her, he elbow was slipping on the desk, too slowly to be noticeable, at least until it finally slid off the edge. Gravity did the rest.

Clunk.

All the way through.
My computer isn't doing that, and nobody else has mentioned it so far.
I can see it too.
