The PPC Posting Board - Latest posts

For the Tate Modern and the Geffrye Museum; the former is a beautiful art gallery, the latter is the surprisingly-fascinating museum of front rooms.

But of course, you need to specify which ones...

We have the Natural History and Science Museums side by side, which is always my #1 default, but if you prefer stuff that's a) made by people and b) not made of metal, you might want to consider the British Museum instead (we went there in '14, we've never taken a Gathering to the others). Or if for some reason you like... I dunno, art? Fashion? Whatever's in there, there's the Victoria and Albert museum too.

And that assumes you want to get in for free! If you're prepared to pay, you can see the crown jewels and a bunch of weapons in the Tower of London, or... uh... probably lots of other things, I dunno, I don't like spending money. ^_^

Though if you want a chance of finding an actual (stuffed and/or skeletal) seal, the Natural History Museum is the place to go. (It's also far and away the prettiest of the buildings, having been created as a 'cathedral of science', because Victorian scientists were awesome.)

Uh. Didn't expect it to go that way. And... well... might be my own fault, even. I think what did us in is the potion Shiro made some days ago, keeping it in a water canteen was a terrible idea. Still, fifth place!

(#Da-da-da da duh, the Final Countdown...#)

For the very last time (thank the gods), you can find all the gory details by searching for 'Final Days'.

We have a winner. I'm not going to tell you who it is (go read the doc!). But when you're done, you can head over to T-Board for the post-Games RP.

Final interviews are more than welcome!

Rudi's was already abuzz when Dafydd climbed up onto the stage and slapped his hand on the wall. "Hello," he called, "and to all our Tributes: thank you so very much for taking part in the Fifth Occasional PPC Hunger Games. I hope you had fun in the Arena - I know I did presenting the show.

"These Games have been an emotional rollercoaster that have had all of us in HQ glued to our seats - in some cases literally; it's that sort of place. But in the end, there could only be one winner.

"Agent Levy! On behalf of the team at Nutmeg TV, who couldn't be here for," the elf glanced across at Richard Legard, "ah, unspecified reasons, I'm delighted to present you with this year's trophy. To commemorate your victory: the Golden Electric Bookshelf!"

((This is the victory RP for the Fifth PPC Hunger Games. I don't plan on posting anything more myself, so use this thread for your agents to catch up and wind down after the battle. All are welcome, even if they weren't involved in the Games.))

... they started at the Science Museum, and let everyone get it out of their systems. Canny (plus it let us finish outside the Houses of Parliament, which is always a plus even if the government won't pay the least bit of attention.)

I'm pretty sure that hairstyle is known as 'it's a hot day and I put a small child on my shoulders'. ;) The weird forelock... thing is usually swept off to the side, being the end result of a side parting. I do not have interesting hair. ^_^

... And I think my emergency induction port was slightly contaminated when I last used it to drink. I was running a slight fever I believe.

((AKA Critical Research Failure))

Remember, the name I'm using is "LostGirl".

So, uh. How long until we get to read the Les Mis Songfic Crisis? >.>

—doctorlit, welcoming

Running into The Sunflower's Witness may be quite confusing, but mistaking her for a sentient flower is unheard of. How did you manage to do this?

I'm new around here so I don't know who you are. Still, nice to see you back.

I honestly cannot remember who you are. When was the last time you posted here?

Anyway, things here have been fine save for the occasional drama. You haven't missed anything especially profound or groundbreaking.

That being said, it's good to have people back.

...and then see this.

(I meant seals someplace other than London, but now I really, really want to see this.)

My parents are slightly less enthusiastic about the idea. :P

No, were it up to me I'd drag you all seal-watching, but it isn't. =]

'Cause I can customize the meme so that it AIN'T NSFW! }:P

(I don't exactly see your point here. I personally think that just because the meme is normally explicit doesn't mean that I have to put up the NSFW content warning for this particular one that isn't. Can you explain, and maybe then have somebody in Skull Goblet take me so I don't get kicked out of here?)

Howdy Boarders past and present!

It's been about 6 months since I've even checked the Board, but idly had a whim to pop back in here and say hi!

What's news? From front page posts, I see something about me officially being ancient now? (Also possibly a shadowy Cabal of 5 underneath Tsarina Kaitlyn, but I'm not at liberty to discuss that.)

In recent Elcalion news, I've been doing quite a lot of travelling, including a trip to Europe for a conference a month or two ago, and am already up to 60,000km of air travel this year, and heartily sick of the inside of a plane. I have also been working for 10 years full time now (at the same company too) which is a scary thought, but is offset by long service leave*, so I'm planning yet more travel.

... I should really get around to finishing my third mission, seeing as it's been (*checks watch*) seven years since I've completed one.

Anyway, celebratory profiteroles and Bleeprum for everyone!

Elcalion, returnatory

*For those of you not in Australia/New Zealand, long service leave is a throwback to the 19th century where it took months to travel back to the UK (the "home country") and so employees got extended period of leave to travel back home once every 10 years. It still survives, but now just means if you stay with the same employer for 10 years you get 2.5 months of paid holiday as a one-off bonus.

if there's ever a link or something that you want me to host on my site so you can link it from a wiki page, just let me know and I'll pretend to try to get it up in a timely manner.

—doctorlit usually gets around to things by the following weekend

PUB CRAWL!

Seriously though, I don't mind.
