How's it goin' my man!?

This was going to be a banquet like no other. A giant field outside Tumblar was turned into a fair ground: long tables were almost breaking from the amount of food and drinks placed on them; on a giant stage minstrels and bards were getting ready to entertain the crowd with songs, stories, and jokes; there were different game stations as well - apple bobbing, ring toss, even the archery practice for the more daring of the Knights. Occasionally, one would spot a wooden pole, on which a purple banner would be mounted, bearing this symbol:

"It looks quite well, Sire," a chamberlain holding a quill and a notepad said. "I-I'm sure the noble guests will be pleased with this feast. Your position is bound to improve!"

Cipher grabbed one of the tankards from the table and smelled it. Sweet aroma, with a gentle hint of salt. The fine vintage of Ha'ter Rayge. The Merchant swiped some dust off of his fur coat and dismissed his servant. "Thank you, Basil. For now, let's put the politics aside." He looked over and gave the man a smile. "After all, it's a feast. Now, if you excuse me, I should go and welcome the first arrivals."

((Ladies and gentlemen, we are a go! Merry Christmas to all, and let's have some fun!))

Welcome back! No matter how temporary! Have Cute Bunny!

So I just got an iPhone 7 as an early Christmas present; unlike my 4S, it currently has no restrictions on it.

No clue how long that'll last, but I'm here for now.

This sounds like a lot of fun, but I don't have a lot of time during the week.

I could almost certainly spare some time on the weekend, tough.

Based on what I’ve seen out of a year of lurking, you’re right.
What really worries me to this moment, though, is that I’m joining a community as an individual with rudimentary social experience under a kind of isolation. I’m more worried about what mistakes I might end up doing while I learn what it’s like to be part of a group like this, and what might happen as a result.
I hope that I can learn to be a real part of a community, and make as little mess-ups as I possibly can in the meantime.
But at least I'm not the only one, I can now learn along with other fellow newbies.

Thank you for the dice set! I may not have any plans to roleplay or play any tabletops yet, but I’ll put them to good use.

I may not be a forum poster there yet, but they likely know about my existence.
That wiki was the first one I joined under this name and the first I edited for.
Heck, the wiki even, in a way, changed my life for the better. The wiki inadvertently: got me into reading more webcomics, made me interested in reviewing, introduced me to Riiser (possibly my favorite youtuber of all time), inspired me to start learning how to draw and even got me into actually checking out the PPC. My hobbies took a major turn, and I am thankful for the resulting improvements.
Happy to know you and your friends enjoy their content, it’s always nice to know others who like what they do.
If you are still around the thread, can you share what some of your favorite reviews are, please?

Thank you SO so much for the infinite pencil and papers! Now I can finally draw, write & craft planes/origami without worrying about running out of either material!
Don’t worry, I’ll appreciate my time here.

Your email’s saved on my notes now.
It’ll take a while until I can contact you, though. I’m just about to make another email, and I will send a message from the new email to you when I’m done.
Thank you for the strawberry tart and the adoption, I look forward to writing with you.

I only finished the first volume and it’ll take some time before I can pick up the next one, I still need to renew the address on my library card.
I’m actually surprised that I enjoyed it, I usually dislike this kind of genre.

Thank you for the metal feathers and the Mini-Suu! I’ll take good care of them. *pats Mini-Suu*

This was your first forum, too? The PPC sure is a great place to get started, huh?
And as for being a ‘faux Filipino’, I’m just saying that I’m not entirely a good example as a Filipino person. I may be a pureblood, but I lived in the US for most of my life, where I didn’t learn so much about the culture of my blood race. I may understand enough of the basics of Tagalog and Bisaya to hold a simple conversation to somebody speaking either one if they also understand English, but I can’t really speak either so well partly due to me mixing them up when I try to speak in one. I don’t even have any county pride to speak of.
So, you’re part Filipino?

Thanks for the giant fork. I may have other ways to eat myself, and chopsticks may be my appendages (making any attempt to anger those people pointless), but I’ll find a good use for this big fat fork.

Thank you for sharing your coffee!
So you remember, huh? I still feel bad about those edits regarding your second mission, and I really appreciated your reply.
It feels nice to finally get to putting it behind me now. Cheers!

That time I decided to check into Discord to check the state of the community. I didn’t want to cause a mood whiplash from introducing myself in the event you folks were in despair…
…and ended up making things worse by drawing suspicion to myself.
But now I can finally work towards removing the suspicion I have on me, and that’s what I’m willing to do!

Anyway, thank you so much for the fresh SPaGhetti and the rec list! I’ll try to binge the ones I haven’t read yet, and I’ll see if I can use the SPaGhetti to improve my noodles and my writing.

I can't promise anything due to the house rules and such, but I've already gotten a few ideas for if and when I get to participate, since Voyd has been discussing this game with me as well. Not telling what yet, though, that'll ruin the surprise. ;)

I think I'm most proud of the cowrite we did with James Shields. I got to explore my characters a little bit, something my solo missions tend to lack, and now I have some ideas for Violet's gemsona that I could explore if I do a Steven Universe fic in the future. Plus, I find cowrites more fun than writing a mission solo in general.

As far as my favorite mission ever? If I had to choose, I'd say Sergio Turbo's Blank Sprite, for the same reasons he said it was his favorite.

1°), Wrong Start. Yeah, I had some problems with it, but that was my first one, and I was rather proud of finally writing my onw PPC missons. Closely behind is He Burns.

2°) Well, since you cheat by asking us only one mission out of all the ones here we like, allow me to cheat back by giving the whole Rose Potter series. RinArin is still my favorite agent, and this mission is just one big cornerstore in her and Zeb's story.

The first one, I d'awwed quite a bit at the end. And then was overcome with a strong desire to feed Dafydd marshmallows and give him hugs. (But I doubt he'd appreciate that much...) I did think it was a bit odd, though, that Constance went from "Dude, you need to stop hiding our relationship from everyone" to "Wanna get married?" but maybe that's just me.

The second one: very amusing scene right off the bat, with Dafydd stealing the chocolate bar. (Do Elves have chocolate? Now I'm curious if they do, and if not, what Dafydd's first reaction to it was...) And yay, fourth wall breaking! Always fun. Nice amusing vignette I'm sure I'll want to read again in the future.

Third one: I'm sorry, I started cracking up at Constance mentioning not liking trees. It reminded me too much of Anakin's hate for sand. That ending, though... *waggles eyebrows* Very cute. I liked it.

Fourth story! It took me a moment to figure out what was going on. And then I laughed, though I can't help but wonder why Dafydd thought playing the song in the first place was a good idea...

Last but not least, the, er, last. Not much to say about this one other than d'awww. Cute and fluffy. :)

(Side note, I went back and reread After Midnight and found a missing period: "Dafydd, you were dead")

All in all... a very nice Christmas present indeed.

Voyd is talking to me about the game. There's still a lot I don't know about it, but it seems perfect for text RPs. How many people here are into that?

Here's a Ravenclaw scarf, some seed cakes, and a copy of your favorite in-universe book from Elder Scrolls! Also, if you haven't already read the Original Series and Constitution, I strongly advise you to do so.

1) Ein Fröhliche Weihnachten mit Doktor Trollenfisch und Gabrielle! (Link.)

I'm a comedian. This is not blowing my own horn - I do standup, and have done on and off for years, and I'm pretty good at it. Fröhliche Weihnachten is just about the funniest thing I've ever written, at least in part because I bounced off of Iximaz so well. This is the mission wherein I took on a Legendary Badfic by accident, and rather than make it all about how infamously bad it is, it's mostly about the Doktor und Gabrielle and building their character through sharing a very, very stupid fic. I reckon that's a good way to do it.

2) ... I plead the Fifth. (Link not here.)

It's really hard for me to pick a favourite from the stuff I've read. Anything from Driftwood, Derik and Gall's missions, mid-period JulyFlame... it's all excellent stuff, and frankly I don't want to pick a favourite. What I love most about the PPC is that it's all shared; the individual missions all serve to build a massive, sprawling world-and-mirror-of-worlds that enhances every subsequent mission after it. This is a wonderful setting in which to write, and I'm proud and honoured to be a part of it. =]

Those of you who haven't published anything yet, or haven't gotten Permission, are still free to answer Question 2. This is a question about your favorite mission you've ever read, after all!
