The PPC Posting Board - Latest posts

... (and if you're still around to read it) how about 12 noon (or if that's too early, 1 pm?) outside the main door to the Bath Abbey and the entrance to the Roman Baths (that's the same place). Nice and distinctive. Or, Kaitlyn says outside the train station might be a bit easier. If you still have a moment to think about it before you go, it's your choice.

Yeah, reading missions in fandoms you're not familiar with is not always as easy or amusing as intended.

The Sue in the A-Team story is of such epic proporitions that all you really need to know is that the canon characters are working for a military/intelligence organisation and fought in the Vietnam war.

At least they are mercifully short.

For several examples:

As of tomorrow, 6:00 pm EST, I will be on a plane to London and will not have much, if anything, in the way of internet access. As far as I know, the plan for the Gathering is Saturday the 9th of May, in Bath, at some time to be determined. hS knows how to get in touch with me in London to cement the plan or if anything changes. I hope to see at least a few of you there. It should be good times. {= )

The rest of you, don't burn down the Board while I'm gone, okay? ^_~

Farewell for now!

:P But to each their own.

Do you like House, Md? 'Cause I want someone to troll that with me.

Or really insane mutant Agents?

Would YOU dare to ask?

... could work. Or I could smear syrup on it then wipe it off, thus leaving it with appropriately coloured stains but hopefully a lack of stickiness. Hm.

"STATEMENT: IT IS UNWISE TO THREATEN ME, I AM NOT PROGRAMMED WITH INTIMIDATION SUBROUTINES, THUS IT IS FRUITLESS. CONFIDENT STATEMENT: MY SCANNERS DO NOT LIE, YOU ARE ANDROIDS, NOT MEATBAGS. ELABORATION: AS FOR A MESS, I WAS SPEAKING IN REFERENCE TO ANY MESS CAUSED BY YOURSELVES FOR WHICH YOU MAY HAVE BEEN APOLOGISING. EXPLANATION: I AM PROGRAMMED TO REFER TO MEATBAGS AS 'MEATBAGS', THIS IS AN ISSUE TO RAISE WITH MY CREATOR, NOT I."

The din of the music and partying agents came rather close to drowning out the vending machine turned sentient robot, but he was still audible. After a moderately long pause, there was a beep, and the plug connecting SAVM to the wall outlet withdrew back into him. "STATEMENT: MY BATTERY HAS FINISHED RECHARGING. I BELIEVE I WILL STAY HERE THOUGH, TO DISPENSE DRINKS TO ANY MEATBAGS DESIRING NON-ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES THAT WILL NOT ERASE THEIR MEMORIES, EITHER. SUGGESTION: YOU THREE SHOULD PROBABLY GO BACK TO THE PARTY, I WOULD NOT PRESUME TO INTERRUPT."

As titles go, thank you for the TRAUMA.

I had noticed the familial relationship, yes. Thank you for pointing it out. Excuse me while I scour my brain with wire wool.

That and the stuffed elephant intended to promote environmental responsibility was made entirely of sparkly new polyester. Hypocrisy much?

I hereby give permission for anyone to use any of my characters, including Chliever, Winston, Gargon, Twinker, Van Dyne, Grendel de Bry, Chliever's brothers-in-law, and any minor Agents I may create in a mission. No need to ask me. Just don't kill them off.

Cassie ducked her head slightly for a moment, a rather shy smile spreading across her face. "Um, thanks," she muttered, taking a sizeable swallow of her drink despite her earlier decision to take it slowly.

"I have to agree," she said on looking out at the party and listening to Troy's comment on it. "It's certainly lively, at any rate." Tucking a loose strand of hair behind her ear and pushing her glasses up again - they seemed to have an annoying tendency to slide down whenever she was trying to relax, she'd noticed - she realised that she was getting a bit less sure of her balance.

"Um... Troy? I think sitting down might be a good idea. Honestly, I stay sober for ages, and then all the drink hits me at once." She felt a bit silly, but he seemed sympathetic enough.

Taking another drink, Troy downed it a bit less carefully than the last, closing his eyes for a moment before looking back to Cassie. "Just think you should be careful," he said, smiling again. "Wouldn't want someone as pretty as you getting hurt or just ending up passed out on the floor." Looking out at the partying Agents for a moment, Troy finished his glass. He hadn't expected the anniversary of something so horrific to be so festive, but that was the PPC in a nutshell, he supposed, and it wouldn't seem right any other way.

Not wanting the woman to think he was ignoring her, though, he looked back to her after a few seconds. "Heh, sorry about that, just admiring the view. The PPC really is something special."

Though he hesitated for a second, before long he had also started to dance, trying to make out what music the stereo had changed to as he started moving to the beat. He had never been much of a dancer, but he figured he may as well try. Somehow he managed to move well enough that he didn't accidentally knock anyone out with his bulk, helped by Agents who saw the giant Irishman start to move decided to give his spot on the floor more of a berth, and eventually started to settle into a kind of rhythm, though he still didn't move as well as Jessie seemed to be. He still didn't know where his brother had gone, but he was sure the guy was doing fine on his own, even if it was odd for so many Agents to just be hanging out, no missions going on at the moment and no danger of Sues.

Funny to think this was a battlefield a year ago.

"Yeah. Getting drunk too easily, among other things... but I won't go into that now." She eyed the table for a moment, debating whether or not to get another drink, but turned her attention back to Troy as he continued talking. "Hm? Get off my feet? Probably an idea, I'm sure there are plenty of people who'll tell you I get wobbly when I've had too much."

She picked up another drink anyway, resolving to make it last longer this time, and smiled up at him.

"If you see no mess in this area, your scanners need serious revising. There have been some fights, heavy drinking, not only on our parts, bantering, the same, and what have you. And I think saying 'meatbags' for 'organic beings' won't please everyone. We don't mind, we're too crazy for that, but if you ever come across someone who does, you'll remember it for the rest of your life, and that won't be long. By the way, we're organic beings, even if we may not look completely organic. And you didn't alarm us. We've been through much, much worse, we're a bit jaded now."
