I meant for that to be dark purple, not dark black. Herpaderpderp. :P

Glad to know I succeeded in making this one a fun mission despite the fic's dullness. I rewatched the movie recently and got the itch to go mission something from there, so I think my enthusiasm for it bled through in Charlotte's attitude. :)

Normally I try to work on 'I've read it, so now I need to comment'. But today I started by commenting on unrelated trivia, which made me feel like I needed to read the mission...

Anyway, long story short: d'aww.

Arright, arright, more useful comments: I like the fact that Ixilotte (is that what we're calling them?) don't spend their entire time in 'ugh this fic is so bad it makes me want to kill myself' mode. It felt a lot like TOS, with the sense that they're a) angry on behalf of the canon/good writing, rather than because they're ~*sUfFeRrInG*~, and b) genuinely happy to be in the canon. Charlotte in particular was just a breath of fresh air.

PS (er, Pre-S?): 'seaweed top'. Am I supposed to be picturing a tank-top type thing, a seaweed bikini, or what? For some reason, that question really bothers me.

While the badfic was indeed beige as heck, Ix and a very lively Charlotte more than made up for it. Our resident Twilight vampire sure enjoyed being a mermaid, and the "kiss demonstration" part was funny and endearing at the same time - I like how you're developing the relationship between the two.

Only point, that "dark black" did make me raise an eyebrow at the beginning, but it was deliberate, right? After all, Lotte IS a Twilight vampire.

Let's have a play-by-play of the situation, Jon!

- Hey, Lottie, your Sparklepire is showing. You know, touchy-grabby and all that.

- Giant POV! :D POVs are always fun!

- Nope, I still think it's her inner Sparklepire that needs to be released once in a while.

- Can I pitch in on that bet, ladies? I'm saying she's just a jealous human best friend with a complex!

- A seaweed top? Huh... Guess it's better than Shell Bra.

- Okay, this thing with Lottie bein' all twirly better lead to something! It appears too often for just a one-time joke!

- Smoooth pick-up line, Lottie. Reeeeeally smooth.

- Where's Ursula?

- Ah, there she is! Heh... To be fair, it's kinda funny for these outside characters to actually stumble upon the singing scene. I mean, it's like if during Under the Sea Triton looked out the window and went "Neptune's Beard, what are they doing?!"

- Okay, Ursula would go for something far more tricky than just "okay, your job, please." She would've make sure the Sue wouldn't be able to fulfill the contract! That's just stupid!

- SERIOUSLY?! Hahaha! Lottie, you devil! Yep, a perfect opportunity to snatch a kiss!

Ooooh, my ship for them, HMS Tooth and Claw, is sailing juuuust fine. Love every single mission they're in!

It's going to be interesting to see what you do with Ix and Charlotte. I like how you made up for the lack of much bad writing (other than Sues) with agent development.

My only criticisms are about describing Charlotte's eyes as turning "dark black" and that perhaps the shipping is happening too quickly, but I'm sure you know what you're doing. You're a brilliant writer, after all. :-)

EVERYDOBY RUNA ROUN D AND SCREAM AND SHOTU FOR GLORSIOU GLORY!

((AAAAAAAAA I SAW IT COMING BUT I'M STILL EXCITED))

Average number is, what, 3?

I'm holding off on sporking My Immortal until Mission 100, so that might not be for a year or two...

[Checks own mission count] ... 46. My vanity is not appeased.

Though I guess that's still a moderately big number... :-/

What is this, Ix, number 65?

Well, you know what they say. Start with the small stuff.

Standing on / their scripted stage
The characters / await the call:
To action or adventure / romance or robots,
They care not / nor question the command.
They are as instruments / imagination-fired,
Ink-wrought in idle times / ideas made flesh.

Then the siren sounds / the summons goes out:
A task! A tale! / A time to venture forth
On paper pages / they play their parts
Turning towards / their creator's themes and tunes.
Until the writing's through / the wars and battles won
And they slip back into silence / to sleep until
Their tale is told again.

(Alliterative verse FTW?)

Warm hand grasps cold pen
Breathes depth into the pages
Stories come to life.

((It does! I'm not an expert, but I like it. Especially the first line; a midnight sky shining green. Very nice.))

Ix and Charlotte get to deal with a pair of Little Mermaid Sues, and they're about as happy as a Fish Out of Water.

That's just scary.

Is when a misspelling caused a windowsill of the Dursleys' house to transform into a Window Seal - a small harp seal merged with the window.

A misuse of gratuitous Spanish in my first mission led to the walls of a room turning out to be made of tightly-packed Iberian hookers. Which one of the charries was forced to lick.

Yyyyyyeah.

Midnight and green sky
Shining on the ghost tower
Tartarus sees us

((Does it work? I never tried haiku in English.))

Cloudless and starlit
Out across the gentle waves
Two moons shine for us
