Look at me, writing (what I think is) ConCrit. I do apologise if the tone's a bit harsh, I've some problems with not saying things bluntly.
First things first, the exposition about Godzilla's moral is a bit ham-handed, it could be toned down with no loss of interaction or characterisation.
Second, I'm uncomfortable with Sarah and Lapis mentioning their author. Most PPC Agents don't know they're characters. There's a reason Swan's Egg is a big deal, after all.
Third, capitalisation minis are frowned upon, as far as I'm aware.
Fourth, I think that missions don't need soundtracks. Those notes just throw you out of the story, and anyway a good story stands on its one even without attaching music to it. A story isn't isn't a movie.
Fifth, Lapis' rant near the start of act two could use with some toning down – that's Excessive Emphasis right there.
Sixth – I mislike Cupid's sudden Genre Savvy. Isn't he a ditz? That simply doesn't fit.
Seventh – urm, I think if a Stu throws an agent OOC, they'd be under the Aura of Smooth and generally dizzy, not up-and-about...?
Eighth – I hope Lapis using her Sue powers will have consequences later on. Agents aren't supposed to rely on Sue powers.
Ninth – I'm pretty sure it's meant to be “Excuse me” and not “Excuse you” (near the start of the post-mission part).
