Hello, all, NovaKrazny here. I was made aware of the PPC about two weeks ago thanks to TVTropes and I've just been dawdling around since. Didn't feel confident enough to be posting, though (that and this chat format is honestly terrifying to a mind that's been drugged on Proboards and its ilk pretty much since getting on the 'Net).
Guess that changed now. I'm fascinated enough by what's been started here that I've decided to stick around; help with the Wiki, make some friends, maybe even write a story (though that possibility is, of course, a month off at the minimum). In the meantime, I promise to be polite, to use good spelling and grammar just as I was taught, and to not drop the good china.
Might look into that insanity thing the Constitution mentioned sometime, too. My best friend tells me it's one heck of a ride. -

Ah, a fellow newbie.
As you can see, my name is PitViperOfDoom. I cordially welcome you to this world of pathological roller coasters, where sanity is ishkabibble, and the only way to survive is by being certifiably insane. Enjoy your stay, and please ignore the Urple substance dripping from the ceiling. (Trust me, it's better if you don't know)
My gift to you is a case of Stewart's Orange and Cream soda, and a sock full of rocks. -

My name is Inigo Montoya... or rather, it isn't, it's Maudlin. Sorry. I get confused sometimes.
Anyhow, melcowe to the PPC! Please deposit your sanity in the provided receptacle. *holds out bucket marked "Warg fodder"* We don't tend to have much use for things like that here. I also gift you with a shiny bit of crystal, some chai tea, and a free hug. Come back if you need more.

Originally, I was thinking a Response Center, because I'm a traditionalist like that. That may change, however, as the thought of having a TARDIS is a very tempting one.

Glad to meet another TVTroper. If we gather enough of us, maybe we can found TVTropers Anonymous. "Hi, my name is Gabriel, and I haven't visited TV Tropes for... oh, about half an hour."
I'm pretty new myself, and I'm not a full-fledged Agent yet.
Here, I give you a screwdriver, 100% mithril. If you prove you can kill a Sue in eleven different ways with it, you'll be deemed worthy of the Department of Assassins. (Our best Agents know of over 30 ways to use it to lethal effect.) -

I'll remember to keep it handy.
My favorite weapon, though, has got to be the makila. It beats, it twats, it stabs, and it's totally street-legal 'cause it counts as a walking stick!

I like most things. Cartoons are a favorite, along with some animes that I hold in dear nostalgia. Digimon, Pokemon, and Avatar are probably the three that I know the most about, with limited knowledge in other realms. I could write a damn book on the first three (well, first and third) seasons of Digimon.
I also like a considerable number of video games, though I'm not experienced very well in any of their canons (somewhat in the Haloverse).
As for other stuff, I have most of the Redwall books practically memorized (don't ask me to quote page numbers, though, I can't memorize like that), along with some bits of the Star Wars EU (most specifically the X-Wing series). While I know some tenets about the Lord of the Rings, my knowledge is not nearly as extensive as some people I've seen. I'm also a big fan of the Young Wizards series, which gets FAR too little airtime and recognition. I am also a considerably intense World War Two buff.
But my real crown jewel is my knowledge of the NUMA canon. Dirk Pitt, Kurt Austin, the crew of the Oregon- I own every book Clive Cussler has ever written (and only two have gone missing), and I've got parts of some of them memorized. I've met few others who know of this guy- an outright Fanfiction.net search turns up five works total- but I really wish there were more. He's awesome. -

I do believe there is a vampire working for the PPC. But I could be mistaken; too much people to keep track of. Particularly when we keep different office hours.
Anyway, welcome. As a gift I present you with a cow. One of my agents had it while on mission, but it got too big for their response centre. -

The main reason I'm debating letting my sanity go is that the last time I did that, I spent two years on Neopets.
Not that they weren't two years interspersed with some of the best and most intelligent friends I've ever had, who taught me the importance of grammar on the 'Net, but still. I don't want to wake up in Runescape or summat.
Thank you for the lembas, though. I'll have to store this for midterms later this week. -
