... is that "meatroll" is definitely a Pernese euphemism, because how could it not be? {= )

District Kaitlyn

The Canon Librarian: "Trying to find my library. Leave me alone."

Kaitlyn: "Well. I quite like this Androia woman. I'm not sure if she knows Agent Ecks was one of the ones who stole my stuff in the qualifiers? But she was a great help. Now, who else was in that footage...?"

Steve: "Right. So my 'team' is a bubbly girl who sort of reminds me of Constance back in the day - not sure that's a good thing - a Potterverse witch with a kind of scary attitude, and a violent... warlock?... of some description. Uh... better have them on my side than hunting me, I guess?"

Luxury's reaction to the drone is not viewable by agents under the age of 100.

District Eagle Hawk

Selene: "... I don't think I like Time Lords any more."

Kyaris: "How did I run out of there so fast? Have you seen this body? I've got speed you wouldn't believe."

District Sergio Turbo

Makes-Things: "Obviously I ran away. Making observations doesn't require me to be heavily armed, does it? I did get to see Agent Ajax's rollerblades in action - are we positive those are holographic? Excellent work if they are. Hmm... I wonder if my lab is functional in the simulation?"

(Not sure if Day One will be up tonight or tomorrow morning. Ve zhall zee.)

hS

Don't give up!

Oh, I probably shouldn't be talking to you, then. Distracting, and all.

Sorry, bye.

Don't worry. And it was nice to be reminded of six months ago the old days.

I hadn't thought about it, but there's no reason I couldn't. Maybe when the main Games gets down to 8 people, we can run a rapid Losers' Bracket in parallel.

(Haha at Sergio's comments on Amris and Tacitus, by the way. XD)

hS

I'm happy to put her down as 'unavailable to comment', but equally, if you want to do it...

Come to think of it, wasn't it you who did Acy's reaction when Kaitlyn and Selene gave her radiation poisoning? I think that was you.

Rachel: Always have someone to watch your back! It's good idea when you're doing agent stuff and still a good idea when you're doing mock battles to the death! Plus, apparently two of the people I'm with have magic powers. Awesome! I'm not sure how long all this will last, but everything's looking pretty good for the moment.

James: James is hiding in a small, dark room. Judging from his muttering, he is currently working out a plan for his current situation. He scowls upon noticing the interview drone, and waves at it to leave.

Get lost, you!

Gremlin: The drone footage of Gremlin is almost solid static, for some reason.

((OOC: Am I also doing reactions for Holo-Acacia, since she's on my team? Probably something I should have asked before this started. Mea culpa.))

Tacitus:

It is immediately clear that Amris is a massive threat to the entire competition. Its enthusiasm for battle is only matched by his gruesome and twisted imagination-- it needs to be put down as fast as possible if any of us are to survive. I only hope Dark's immunity to Psychic holds in this case.

Levy: Apparently using a banana as a hilt for an ice dagger counts as "Weaponised" and not "Utilising their abilities to their very best."

Ajax: They tried to take my rollerblades. They tried to take my rollerblades. I am actually Hermes. I have wings on my feet. Good luck with that next time.

Nickul: I swear to Bahamut somebody's gonna die here, and it will probably be Aphrodite over there.

Gall, Mirrad, and Elms have vanished into HQ and are unavailable for comment.

Derik: For the love of little green apples... No, Luxury, that is not what "Hunger Games" means.

Nickul: Holy crap I killed the Aviator

Ajax: And Jesse

Nickul: Yes, but I killed a DMS legend

Levy: and a Cowboy

Nickul: I don't think you understand, I killed The Aviator

Ajax: We know

Levy: We're just mad you didn't get her autograph

The Librarian: "Burn, human, bu— I mean, that is barbarous, I have no idea what possessed me."
Desdendelle: "No news is good news, methinks."
Amris: "Why, I didn't know that this place had such little bundles of fun as this Zorua."

I've just finished writing a mission, and I'd like for someone to have a look at it. There is no particular canon knowledge required - most characters were either replaced or just name-dropped.

I need mostly SPaG, consistency and flow checks. A word of warning: the fic I sporked is... well, a old shame of mine.

Androia: Socializing is such a nice thing to do: Find a friend, and then go and stab another potential friend together. I’m not quite sure what we stabbed her with. Did Kaitlyn grab a dagger? I may need to be careful around her.

Hieronymus: Don’t put a horse into the cafeteria; it’s not her natural environment! I guess she stumbled over the chairs and fell into the main aisle that leads to the entrance. Anyway, the poor mare looked like the whole stampede of fleeing agents had run over her. I just couldn’t leave her like that. But – have you ever tried to strangle a horse? In the end we both agreed that she just should consider herself being stabbed with the Sharp Sword of Reason that doesn’t show in holographic pictures.

HG

Tomash (not noticing the camera): "No, Luxury, I'm not interested."

Peregrin: "My thoughts? It appears that contesting the supplies was a reasonable decision. I gathered a few useful items, but I ran away from the more valuable supplies after being threatened with fruit over water. I'm still not entirely clear on how that plant was meant to be deadly, but I did not want to risk a confrontation so early."

Did you get my e-mail? I understand if you're busy with real life things, but still...

Whitney: Maybe I should find Falchion. He'd be better at using that energy bow than I am - though I honestly don't know if I won it from Charlotte or not. She was a really good fighter! I do hope to meet her again sometime under, erm, friendlier circumstances.

Falchion: ...I don't even know how to sword. Help.

Sarah: ARRRRGH! I'M SO SALTY RIGHT NOW! That's what the term is, right? Salt? Anyway... I CALL HAX! I was looking forward to a path of glory and coolness and awesomeness and then SOME MEANIE DROPS A BOX OF TNT INTO MY SHIRT RIGHT OUT OF THE GATE?! GRRRR, OF ALL THE INDIGNITIES I JUST - RAAAAAAGH!! If you'll excuse me, I'm going to the Danger Room. I NEED TO BREAK SOMETHING!!!

Rayner: At least I won't have to endure the rest of the carnage. 'Nuff said.

Falchion: I have no idea why I picked up a bottle of alcohol. I don't even DRINK! Sleeping through the first day is totally a me thing, though.

Whitney: A telepathic horse. I went. On a tribute hunt. With a telepathic. HORSE. I just... What.

The main board was refusing IPv4 packets as of 00:40 UTC on Sunday, September 4th. This means that, for most people, going to disc.yourwebapps.com to reach the main board didn't work. However, the underlying server appears to still be up if you connect to it with IPv6. One such IPv6 address is 2600:3c02::f03c:91ff:fe98:54ea, which means you can reach the Board with the following link (copy-paste it): http://[2600:3c02::f03c:91ff:fe98:54ea]/Indices/199610.html

However, this will only work if you have an IPv6 connection. See this test to see if you do.

Yes, that happened (three times!), and now the report is here! We thank Iximaz and Mattman the Comet for their making-sure-things-are-coherent services.
We've hidden 13 different references/shout-outs in the report, can you spot them all? The first person to do so gets a cookie. Or possibly a drabble written by either or both of us. You decide!
