Have an urple pencil to write things with... so long as you can write without looking at what you're doing that is.
Anyway. Woah, we share a lot of fandoms, Harry Potter, Pokemon, Halo, Mass Effect, Warhammer 40k... OK maybe not a lot but still, several.
Oh and you RP, High Five!

An urple pencil for my urple notebook. Sounds perfect. Or impossible. Either way, it'll be fun.
It does seem like we have a lot of fandoms in common. That's good. Should keep things interesting. -

Awesome! Another Potterhead AND Pokemon fan? Here you go! A (mostly) house trained copy of The Monster Book of Monsters and your very own starter Pokemon of your choice!
Don't feel bad about the Inheritance Cycle thing. I used to be a fan, and while I still enjoy reading it, it's more of a guilty pleasure than anything. And besides, some fandoms (Yeesh, my computer tried to autocorrect that to randoms like five times) are really short-staffed.
Gaming? Do you play Dungeons and Dragons, by any chance?

I'd be happier about the book if it hadn't already bitten me. Even so, Thanks. And a Chikorita. Suits me just fine.

Ah, a fellow D&D player! Here, have a silver clockwork horror, straight from the crystal spheres of Spelljammer! A warning, though: they tend to build swarms of other lower-level clockwork horrors if left unattended, so don't let this little guy near anything it can disassemble and rebuild into anything resembling a spider robot.

Man, I'm going to have to have a word with the bookstore attendant. He promised this copy was trained. -_- Chikoritas are adorable, but I prefer Bulbasaur by far.
Hopefully you won't become infamous for accidentally killing another party member. My Wizard/Psion forgot the size of her Burning Hands spell and ended up blasting the party Rogue to smithereens. Oops. -

Already did, sadly enough. He survived, but the lack of healing surges is gonna kill him this session, followed by the rest of us.

My younger brother plays our party's Rogue and he's such a power gamer that his character has more hit points and healing surges than our Warlord. (There are only three of us plus the DM, so our Warlord has been trying to build himself like a tank. If my brother didn't spend hours maxing out his character, our tank would actually be able to, you know, do his job.)
I'm the liability in our group. My Wizard's Constitution score is 8, so she actually has FIVE healing surges instead of six+ like most Wizards would. If you don't mind me giving a tip: focus your damage on one or two more threatening enemies at a time and let the party's controller wipe out the minions. Focusing damage instead of spreading it around will take out monsters faster and leave fewer that can hit you. It really works- my group got pitted against fifteen Orc minions and five... berserkers, I think... plus their pet Owlbear. The only one who took any damage that battle was the Rogue because he had the brilliant idea to perform in the Owlbear Rodeo. -

Thanks for the advice, but as a Sorcerer, my spells are meant to spread the pain around. Everything I have is a close blast, so I practically hug the enemy to death (with fire and lightning, of course).
I'm debating about an agent and such, but I might bring my Sorcerer in if I can't come up with anything better. -

Since you're a Sorcerer, you would focus on taking out the minions while the rest of your group ganged up on the nastier foes. Also, I suggest you keep an eye out for some Shimmering Armor (Adventurer's Vault 1). It basically negates the opportunity attacks that you provoke when you used a ranged attack when next to an enemy. Very handy for someone who specializes in ranged attacks but frequently finds themselves surrounded.
Um, sorry if I sound pushy... I'm just trying to be helpful. Feel free to tell me off if I offend you.
That would be pretty cool to drag in a D&D character for an agent. Randa and I are basically just doing the self-insert gig. :P -

That armor sounds useful and saves me a feat. Thanks for the advice!
And you're not being pushy. You're giving helpful advice and criticism.
I thought about doing the self-insert gig, but then realized that I'd make a terrible agent. A character of mine could probably stand the crazy a bit better.
