Don't worry, all the best china got broken *years* ago.
And we have a basket by the door for sanity, please feel free to leave yours there. You'll find you won't need it here :D
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.
Nice to meet you! And yeah, it's different, but not too bad, right? (Well, except when the really long threads get going.)
Ah, and remember this! *hands over a fluffy blue towel*
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.
-Mad Maudlin
Nice to meet you :)
Thanks!
Hi there! I'm Sara, and I bear gifts! Here's an egg whisk (gold-plated, very useful thing) and...um...chocolate! Yes...
That insanity thing? Fun. Funfunfun. Enjoy the ride!
You'll need it, both for attempts at sleep and whacking those who try to interrupt.
:)
Does that mean we can use it against the console when it goes BEEEEP?
I suspect the consoles are made of tougher stuff than we're told.
It's good to see another TV Troper. I haven't been on TV Tropes for - well, I have a window open now, but I haven't looked at it for almost three minutes.
What fandoms are you into?
Well, I don't want to type the whole thing out again, but I've got a big list I wrote up a few posts back. That's most of what I like.
Ooh, punctuation? I likey some punctuation.
Have some little green pills. When you find out what they do I'm sure the Medical Research Division would also like to know!
Will your Agents be based in a TARDIS or Response Center?
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.)
Curiosity got the better of me and I wandered onto TVTropes at 2:30 in the morning...
Leto
go to High Octane Nightmare Fuel. Other than that, um...Share and Enjoy?
The Troper Tales page for Perverse Sexual Lust is... interesting, to say the least.
Why didn't they just write "Everyone and everything" and get it over with?
That will keep you up for the rest of the night trying to distract yourself!
Here's a vibrospork. Good for badfic and those annoying lightsabers Sues keep on swinging around.
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!

welcome to the PPC. hope you nejoy it here.
have a combat spork and bleeprin.
so, what fandoms do you like? if i may ask.
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.
Do you want some? They'll make you insane in just a minute!
What you got?
This, over there, looks like the Fellblade. Don't touch it, it's made of pure warpstone.
The Sword of Change, though, is pretty fun. Is it in there?
And those are Warhammer 40K artifacts, not Warhammer Fantasy ones! Daemons! GET THEM!
Taste Flamy, incandescent death from my Multi-Melta Daemonic scum!
MWAHAHAHA!!!
Chaos Space Marines, Attack!
Burn the heretical daemonic scum!
Actually the last time I tried that it did not end well!
Not.
Pretty. Shiny. Want!
And I don't even play Chaos!
Have a large stuffed toy shaped like the Blue Badger. It won't dance, but then again it would be creepy if it did.
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.
Don't worry, all the best china got broken *years* ago.
And we have a basket by the door for sanity, please feel free to leave yours there. You'll find you won't need it here :D
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.
...after all, we do have portal technology.
However, no-one I know has ever woken up in Runescape, so take heart!
