There should be a verse in "Who's Next" for the PPC.

Since I completely forgot the contents of my old enrollment form, I think I should add some random character info (the first bit may or may not be in there) - can deal with (and may even like, depending on what the food in question is) eating about anything comprised of food, including Yuui's... eccentric... cooking, may or may not quote Dr. McNinja if appropriate, and has a tendency to point at people when raising any form of objection and yelling OBJECTION! loudly.
Good chapter. Ah, platonic love, my second most favorite kind of love - right next to love for one's family, of course. Yay for sakura tree similes, and as for detention... Writing perfect Japanese characters several times with blello ink in a spinning urple room?

I, for example, have a deeply disturbing appreciation for 5ive. Fortunately this is shared by two of my friends, so we can get drunk, sing along, do the dance, and terrify observers.

I don't think I've got anything I particularly associate with the PPC at the moment, but I haven't been listening to music for that… 'Ready to Die', Andrew W.K., maybe, but most of my playlist… well, I'd mention it in writing a mission and suchlike, but themed PPC, not so much. Otherwise, at the moment I'm running a mix of Arashi, The Whitlams (Blow Up the Pokies, Thank You (for loving me at my worst)), The Waifs, Disney, Soler (Not Alone), the SubaSeka OST, Ben Lee, and Utada Hikaru.

...is the holding cells in DMSE. You're right that the PPC almost always simply kills the Sue, but The Department of Mary Sue Experiments keeps them under lock and key long enough to, er, observe them and their habits. In that case, the length of a Sue's stay depends as much on her individual traits as her actual crime.

Well, technically I have Myths, Legends and Language of the Vikings. Half the grade's an essay, and half's an exam, of which 25% is grammar, 50% is translation of something from the sagas into modern English, and 25% is commentary on what's been translated. I'm quite looking forward to it - getting that much knowledge in my brain will be tough, but there are actual right and wrong answers, unlike for the rest of my degree, so this exam makes the difference between a first and failing the module.
Ah, Old English. Not something I ever got on too well with. Now, Middle English, on the other hand, that I like.
I'll keep an eye on dates of when everything's happening, and let you know nearer the time whether I'm in or not.

My poison? Is POISON! by

Ahem. Specifically Alice Cooper's 'Poison', which is clearly dedicated secretly to the Department of Bad Slash. Although most Eighties rock is: please consider
- Pour Some Sugar On Me by Def Leppard
- Cherry Pie by Warrant (okay, I know, it misses being an Eighties song by a year, gimme a break :P)
- Bad Medicine by Bon Jovi
When I'm not listening to dodgy Eighties hair metal, however, my taste runs more to grunge (yes, I know, most grunge musicians would have crucified me for listening to hair metal, but meh); Nirvana, Soundgarden, Pearl Jam, Babes in Toyland, Silverchair (pre-Diorama, srsly) and to seventies rock - Led Zeppelin, Cream, Jethro Tull, Black Sabbath, etc
And Queen.
And, uh, Savage Garden, ABBA, Steps, Vengaboys and S Club 7. For, y'know, when you get that urge to dance in a flaily way around your own living room after consuming two litres of icecream.

These are my agents:
Full Name: Valdis
Species: Uknown
Age: Unknown
Department: Department of Mary Sues, Freelance Division
Response Center: Omega
LO: Kiba and Tsume from Wolf’s Rain
Description: About four feet tall at the shoulder with a long tail. She is a large, black, wolf with a red mark on her chest.
Detailed description: Valdis has one yellow eye and one green eye, her coat is black and she has a red marking on her chest that upon closer inspection is revealed to be the Japanese symbol for death. When she is angry her eye color changes to red and the pupil disappears, a very disturbing effect. She is a highly intelligent, though somewhat crazy, canine-like creature with a taste for blood that her PPC partner swears is part vampire and part wolf, but her file marks her as a product of a crossover between Harry Potter and Full Metal Alchemist. Valdis is useful in taking attacks as she has amazing regenerative abilities, but if Valdis is killed then she will be out of action for a minimum of ten minutes while her body reboots. She is fairly argumentative, quick to anger and sometimes childlike, but when the time comes to do her job, she becomes serious and she does it as she does most things… gleefully. She likes a good fight, is indifferent to bad grammar and, for most stories, doesn’t care much about canon one way or the other, though she knows what her job is and enjoys doing it. Valdis is loyal, mostly to herself, has a sense of humor, and is slowly becoming more…controllable, doing her duty to hunt down Sues and Sams. She is sometimes reckless, but because of her ability injury is in general not a problem.
Full Name: Jasper Caspi likes to be called Jazz
Species: Human Female
Age: 19
Response Center: Omega
Department: Department of Mary Sues, Freelance Division
LO: Faramir, Legolas, Colonel Roy Mustang, Murtagh, Kakashi Hatake, Shikamaru Nara, Guy Cecil
Description: Height 5’6”, Green eyes, white blond hair, fair skin
Detailed Description: Jasper, or Jazz as she likes to be called, has green eyes, long, wavy, white blond hair and fair skin, she appears to be fairly soft and innocent, but Jazz is a fire mage and as such is also a pyro. Her powers feed upon her body’s energy so if an attack uses more energy than she has, she could die. She is quite useless as a forward melee fighter but can use long distance weapons such as a bow. She has a tendency to take things literally and is just getting used to sarcasm. Jazz really loves canon pairings and if one is changed she gets angry. She is very book smart, and bad grammar is one of her biggest pet peeves, however she can be a bit ditzy at times. She loves reading more than anything else but is also familiar with some videogames. She is usually even-tempered, except when she is working on a particularly bad fic.
This is my writing sample:

I'm betting that most every Agent has most or at least part of Tom Lehrer's discography memorized. This probably makes for quite the scene at parties.
Especially when you get the Bad Slash Department drunk en masse; they all start singing "Smut" in unison.
Now THAT is an amusing mental image. Fun fact: "Smut" taught me a new word (licentious), and that honestly doesn't happen often.

I LOVE the Irish Ballad... my other favorites are the most offensive ones like "National Brotherhood Week" and "In Old Mexico". And lately, ever since the beginning of the World War I unit in history class, I've been singing "So Long, Mom" and snippets of "The MLF Lullaby" every now and then.

I'm a metalhead myself. I like power metal mainly, usually epic metal (which is an unofficial subcategory of power metal, where the lyrics have a fantastical element). But I also like some oldies, rock, alternative rock, and a very small portion of rap (mainly by Fort Minor).
Thanks to you, I now have Tainted Love stuck in my head, but I think my most consistent 'favorite group' is Hoobastank. I also love Linkin Park, Nightwish, Dragonforce, and John Denver.
Oh! Tom Lehrer! How could I have possibly forgotten Tom Lehrer?

The latter two songs I mentioned in my first post are two my aforementioned "Mental Music Video" function associates with the PPC. "Back in Black" hooked on when I got to the climactic battle while reading the logs of HFA, and I imagine "The Greatest Show Unearthed" as agents staging some kind of demented carnival of the PPC's history and the history of the Mary Sue in your traditional Creepy Deserted Fairgrounds.

No more than me; my tastes in music have easily doubled, at least, since I got on the 'Net.
My apologies for the double-post, by the way. I'm still not used to this forum, so there was an accident with the back button.
