Yeah, I remember, I was so excited to find someone else who'd actually read the books!

Oh my. Shiiiiiny. *turns bloodstone over in fascination* I'm a little terrified to know what eldritch powers one of these made of Sue blood might have beyond or instead of the norm.

As someone who's drifted in and out repeatedly over the years, yes, that may have to count as new-ish. ...Dear Eru, I'm getting old. *gets out cane and dentures*

Awesome! I don't know which is more awesome, the rocket launcher or the engraving. I love Sierpinski Triangles.

And I'm glad I'm not the old face still around, too! :)

Ahah. Well, I suppose that depends on just what actually happened to some of those old RC archives, and whether there was some odd wibbly-wobbly timey-wimey regarding their timestreams... *quiet cackle of not at all evil why do you ask*

Oh, bless, no! I've always been kind of quiet, I never joined the ranks of PG.

Oooh, extra-buttery, my favorite! Thanks!

Yeah, energetic does seem to be the impression people get... Oops.

Well, so long as no one works out a way to actually do the Willy Wonka thing and send chocolate via video and screen, so I can't just send the entire PPC chocolate via the Board, there shouldn't be too many nefarious plots I could accidentally engage in...

(Hey, DoSAT's working on that, right?)

Hurrah, more Alera fans! *happily hands a cookie, decorated with furycrafting emblem of your choice!* (And yeah, Tavi is... yeah. Gaius Sextus may be More Badass Than You, Yes You, And We Do Mean You, but Tavi's still very young. He'll get there. And is already way too awesome.)

Oooh. *reacts like a kitty to peanuts and streamers*

Well, in the humble opinion of the unexpected-American-crashing-the-party, the Gathering was tons of fun. It's always nice getting to hang out with a fandom group spontaneously in real life.

You'll have to work harder if you're looking to do SAN damage with puns, just so you know. I've got a pretty high save versus them after over-exposure. :)

I actually rather doubt it will--but it's been a couple years at least since I really was here last, in-depth, and life goes on. Groups and people grow.

So I rather doubt it will be the PPC I remember--but then, I've changed too, so it doesn't mean I don't hope it will be a place I can enjoy in new ways. :)

Oooh, tea and scones! *attacks eagerly*

(It is, in fact, awesome--but I forgot my camera today! Alas, I may be forced to return to it before I leave London. How tragic.)

Seeing as you joined well after my last sojourn here. I appreciate the welcome present, though!

Those always seemed dangerous to me, actually. Fear responses exist for a reason. Also, I don't mind being hyper-paranoid. That's what the batarangs are for.

Sending your villainous cohorts across t'Pond to villainously attack me when I was villainously not expecting it... wait, I think I had a couple of extra villains in there somewhere (a tragic fate shared by so many movies)...
