Let's see here... Recent head music includes:

Neuroticfish - Why Don't You Hate Me?
E.S. Posthumous - Pompeii
Hyper - We Control

And a couple I don't know the titles to, by VNV Nation and E Nomine.

I tend to lean towards electronic music, in case you haven't guessed.

I'll be there both days. Unlike hS some people who are okay with making a round trip to one end of the country and back in a day with a Gathering in between, I don't quite have the same stamina for travelling. Plus, I have relaitives in Oxford and Brighton, so if needs be I can probably get them to put me up for a weekend.

So I'll be there for both days. :D

BTW, will your Agents be based in a TARDIS or a Response Center?

(Sophe Lux, that is). I doubt any one else will have heard of her though. XD

Lyrics aren't work safe, btw.

Normally I listen to soundtracks though. I haven't listened to a radio for about five years now, and before then I listened to classical FM. *pretends to have class*

Sooo, my five most played songs on itunes are:
I'm alive, Becca (Kuroshitsuji)
Down to Earth, Peter Gabriel (Wall-E)
When she Loved Me, Sarah McLachlan (Toy Story 2)
The Call, Regina Spektor (Prince Caspian)
So Close, Jon McLaughlin (Enchanted)

There's something called FU-udge in there, which I can only imagine as being some sort of dessert that makes rude hand gestures. Might be worth bringing back, as might the Cliffie who appears at the end of the second chapter.

Stick them in a Sinning Tree from Yu Yu Hakusho?

They give the impression of not having set co-ordinates, so I don't know if PPC portal tech would be able to deal with them, and knowing the Holders they're probably set so you can't leave except either when you've finished the trial or at the set bail-out points some of the less cruel ones have.

To be frank, though, you probably don't have to see the effects. Given the nature of most of the Holders, you can probably HEAR them, from considerable distance.

And remember, self-resetting canon. As long as you don't actually run one of the Holder tests to completion and get your hands on one of the items, all the Agent has to do is bail out of the canon back to HQ and it'll eventually reset itself, given the style of writing. And provided they never actually ask to see a Holder, just have the Mary Sue do it, they'll never get snared. One potential Chosen at a time, no matter how hopelessly doomed.

(And I like to imagine that the Flowers have some kind of arrangement with the Bride of the Seeker for getting rid of those items Agents inadvertently DO bring back to HQ. After making a few public examples, it hasn't happened for a while, but the agreement stands.)

The elves just took their time about it, so when the Flowers scanned, the Sue showed up as still alive.

True. Too much risk of it simply leaving them alive but in pain forever, and Sues being Sues there's too much chance of them escaping. Also need to make sure the agents don't go in to watch it first-hand because if the Holder sees them, they probably have to pass its test to get out, and they'd probably rather fail the test than face the Flowers after having brought an Object into HQ. Though if they went to see the Bride of the Seeker, they could get rid of the Object that way, because if they pass her test but aren't the Chosen, she gives them the option to get rid of the Object and forget all about the Holders. Could work with that.

My mp3 includes, um ... The Killers, Creature Feature, Flogging Molly, Kate Bush, Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, Nine Inch Nails, the Sweeney Todd soundtrack, the Decemberists, the Pogues, and a whole bunch of miscellaneous stuff. Also been listening to Rihanna's "Disturbia" and a few Mindless Self Indulgence songs on YouTube.

Yeah, I have very random taste. Good for making song-based riffs in MSTings and gags in missions. And will be helpful when I work on the VQ Musical chapter in the OFUR ...

I'm glad I escaped those classes.

Basically, since I am a man who loves my music (and whose brain has a tendency to work with the Imagination and cook up in-head music videos for whatever I'm hearing), I'm just wondering what music everyone else likes/currently has stuck in their head. Preferably something they associate with the PPC, but I'm hardly picky.

I'll start off with five of my own. My own tastes run more to "oldies" (ELO is possibly my favorite band ever, for example), but these five are all on my Songza playlist at current. As well as good.

Soft Cell- Tainted Love
Scissor Sisters- I Can't Decide
Rogue Trader- Voodoo Child (I blame Dr. Who for all three of these)
AC/DC- Back in Black
Creature Feature- The Greatest Show Unearthed

Gotta be careful with that one, though-- you can only trust universes to handle things on their own to a certain extent. Case In Point: what happened when Jay and Acacia left a LotR Elf Sue to be discovered by the Discworld Elves, assuming the natural course associated with the Disc's Elves would occur (it didn't).

Still, I hardly disagree with that method, since so very many of them offer such wide varieties of death. Just gotta Do The Research first to make sure said death is guaranteed early on.

Hello, it's me, Agent (to be) Chliever. While I'm in my one month of permission limbo, I decided to report some badfic. Warning, none of this is brain safe. May I present the work of StarJeffry: http://starjeffry.livejournal.com/

It's ridiculous, but oddly enough, it doesn't read like a troll to me. It reads like a sixth grader who just took his first sex ed class. The author has an unhealthy obsession with Hermione, one of the more notable gems in there is a SELF-INSERT "MY HUMPS" SONGFIC about her.

Merry has something called a "oenis" in one of them. Worth confiscating?

If nobody wants to claim, I'll take it once I become a full Agent.

Thank you sacrificing your sanity and social life for the sake of the continuum. Would you like a cookie?

Even if they keep their invulnerability, you could drop them into one of the Holders Series entries. That way, they get killed over and over and over again for all eternity.

... we can only do the Saturday anyway, but it's a good idea to give the option for both days. We've had a couple of Gatherings where people could only do one or the other, so it came out as two Gatherings with a few common people between them. So you might have Kaitlyn and me on the Saturday, but Laburnum on the Sunday. Other people could go to both, or just one, or whatever.

As to organising it, that basically comes down to picking a meeting place and time, and giving an estimate of when it would end. If there's something several people want to do, it'd be an idea to meet there, but at the least the meeting place needs to be near a train station, preferably at a major landmark. London has lots of train access, of course, so it's pretty dependent on where people want to be.

Um, so yeah. Date, time, place. And then put together a list of who's said they'll go, so you know who's not made it.

And the answer is: my muse tends to strike from above like a ninja with a sledgehammer, so inspiration comes in random and huge bursts of creativity, which I risk life and limb to write down before they leave me. In a pinch I've been known to write particularly funny riffs on my own leg.
As to the DLG's backstory? It would definitely be fun to write, but it may take some time for me to get my act together. I'll just have to scream "Work, minion!" at myself for a while.

New blood! (Or is that "ichor"?) Have some chai tea and a free hug. Come back if you need more.

Is EVERYONE in this thread trying to kill me? *dies from epic levels of cute*

But seriously, FUZZY THINGS. And alligators. Post MORE.

AGH, changed around the wording of that sentence and forgot to fix the "As". I lose ten glory points.

Ah, more fresh blood! Welcome, my fellow new meat. You will be thrown to the dogs once the paperwork is processed.

In other words, you should be fine. As I'm still new myself and have nothing to hand out yet, so you get nothing! You lose! Good day sir!

(In all honesty, great to meetcha!)

Mini-Bison for Air Nomads, mini-Dragons for Fire Nationals, mini-Badgermoles for Earth Kingdom subjects...

Dangit, the Water Tribe learned bending from the Moon, that's not gonna work. I suppose that's where we can fit in the mini-Unagi.

And for characters not involved with any Nation, like Guru Pathik (who I have a feeling may eventually have quite a few), mini-Lion Turtles.
