Welcome a'Board!

How did you come to be known as the Oncoming Form?

(( If this is answered somewhere, sorry about the redundancy. ))

You have shed the bonds tethering you to this mortal realm. You will soon ascend beyond our reach. I wish you the best in the next plane of existence.

Have a pile of multi coloured pens.

To Farilan: What do you like most about humans?

Also, I've heard rumors that you and Ilraen are dating. Are those true?

To The Aviator: How's Elanor doing?

To Ix: So, uh, there's no way to ask this without being awkward, and don't answer it if it's too personal, but how'd you get those scars on your face?

Since no one seems to think that my self-imposed exile after the doxxing (which, again, I'm sorry for (and I regret that it contributed to a good few people leaving as well)) was insufficiently long, I guess I'm back.

Since posting just that seems awkward somehow, I might as well kick off a discussion. What have y'all been reading/watching/playing lately?

I read The Way of Kings a few weeks back (good stuff, would recommend if you have the time to read it), and I picked up a half-finished copy of Stephenson's REAMDE over the weekend (it's now half and a little bit finished). Surprisingly, I remembered the general plot despite not having toughed the book for a good while after I started reading again. I also discovered that my partly-finished Portal 2 save had disappeared down an incinerator somewhere, so I'll be slowly working on that when I have time.

Here is a video recording of myself speaking the tongue-twister in human morph.

I should warn you, the Nursery children have given me a lot of practice at this sort of thing. It may not be as humorous as you expect.

Have one of my own shed feathers and a complimentary kit of Spikes!

That is a difficult question. I hope I can help you with it, if only in some small way.

People stare at me, too, though in my case it is often less about the scars themselves and more about the character they make me resemble. Most of the time, it doesn't bother me. There's no shame in bearing a superficial likeness to another person—and there's no shame in scars, either. However you got them, they prove you were strong enough, or at least lucky enough, to survive it. (For me it was the latter. I was young and reckless, and I could just as easily have paid for it with my life or that of my dragon.)

However, some days I would rather not be gaped at. On those days, I find a big, horrible grin to be quite effective at getting rid of people. Or, if I'm in a particularly foul mood, I stare back at them. If you don't know, I am blind in one eye, which makes my stare especially disconcerting. Most people give up and slink away pretty quickly.

You might also try simply answering the question they are too embarrassed to ask and tell them how you got the scars, as belligerently (or not) as you please. I have to start with "No, I'm not who you think I am," but regardless, after they quit stammering useless protests, the conversation tends to be painless and mercifully brief.

Of course, there is always the option of wearing a mask, but that's not for me, and I wouldn't recommend it. We are privileged to be in a position to demand that our fellow agents either take us as we are or go hang. Keep your chin up, and remember that no matter how much people look at your face, only you can let them get under your skin.

Ix, please write to me whenever you like. Corresponding with you is no bother at all.

Yours in solidarity,

Agent Derik, DMS

Forgot to change my name one here after our April Fills Day thing where we pretend to be Mary Sues...

Steven Universe, Adventure Time, Scorpion, and maybe MLP:FIM (funny story: I've read multiple fanfics of this, but I've never watched the show. I definitely like the first 3.).

Found the place through TVTropes.
Read both.
Vanilla.

Hello and welcome!

Hope you enjoy your stay.
Here have a virtual PENguin.

SECRET MESSAGE

Hello, and welcome to the PPC! Since I don't have an appropriately quirky newbie gift, I'll just throw a cheesecake to you in desperation. What are your fandoms?

Please leave your sanity at the door, it's crazy in here (that's a good thing, I think). Anyway, hi! Hope you have fun here!

For your newbie gift, have a talking book! It's very precocious.

Have a plate of SPaGhetti! Tell us, how'd you find this place? Read the Original Series and the Constitution? Favorite ice cream flavor?

Well, hi, I guess. This is my first post, after all. So, well, that's really it. And also, I apparently decided to write this like I'm actually saying it.

How do wizards survive in the modern technology-filled era? I mean, can you even go to the grocery store without frying the cash registers?

I'm very sorry to bother you like this, but one of the nurses in Medical mentioned your name and I hoped maybe by looking you up you could help me with something.

Gosh, I've rewritten this so many times now and can't ever seem to find the right words for what I want to ask, so I'm just going to be upfront with you. And, well, if it's not too much to ask, I'd appreciate you not spreading this around.

I've got scars on my face too, and I was just... wondering if you maybe had any advice on how to deal with that? People try not to stare but I see them looking when they think I'm not, and it makes me really uncomfortable.

Sorry to bother you and thank you anyway.

You're cheating, and you know it.

This time, a snarky angel, a thin eccentric, and a boisterous skeleton join Dahlia in riffing on a demon hunter AU. Here's the shareable link! Hope you guys enjoy it! :D
