I've been thinking about the partner idea since I read the original series, and I wanted to run an odd idea past the board and (hopefully) get some feedback. Also, does anyone know where the archive of the 2008 Mary Sue Invasion is(the marcrovirus incident)? Here goes...
Name:Earl D. Grey
Description and history:A sentient, anthropomorphic cup of tea, this bizzare beverage container is a refugee from a Hitchhikers-Star Wars-Real World crossover gone horribly wrong. During the events of said crossover, Arthur Dent's wish for a good cup of tea was overheard by a being from "a high plane of which we know nothing". Said being evolved an entire species of sentient tea cups on a planet, coincidentally known as Bergamot. Earl's community and tea subspecies was wiped out by a natural disaster, with only him and his brother (Robert Grey) surviving. Five minutes after the end of the incident, the two fell through a plot hole. His brother appeared on the dispenser tray of the Nutrimatic Drinks Dispenser on board the Heart of Gold due to the effect of the Infinite Improbability Drive on the extreme unlikelihood of an interaction between Arthur Dent and Robert Grey. Rendered limbless, unable to communicate, and otherwise helpless and indistinguishable from an ordinary (if good) cup of tea, Robert was quickly drunk.
Earl ended up on Squornshellous Zeta, and would spend the next 200 years with Marvin the Paranoid Android. Needless to say, the experience didn't help his attitude.
He would fall through another plot hole, and somehow cross paths with several PPC agents. They would take him back to headquarters, and the rest is history.
Thoughts?

GDocs?
If I'm not mistaken, that would be Google Docs.
Well, I think I found part of the Invasion storyline on JulyFlame's page...Anyone know where the other POVs are?
It was a role play on the Board, and as such has been pushed off into the ether. July saved it all in google documents; if you ask I'm sure she'll share it with you.

And I believe those're all of them.
Thank you. I foresee much time vanishing into those...
P.S. Is Earl an acceptable idea for a partner?
