If anyone's had their head to the ground for the last month or so, then they'd know that a small contingent of PPCers is planning to get to San Diego Comic-Con International in July 2009.
I'll be going with a group of six, half of the group being PPCers to San Diego for the 21st-28th of July.
Said group will consist of, tentatively: Me, Fynn, Jai, Ansela, Fhajad (who you do not know), and a friend of Ansela's.
We're gonna be trying for Seaworld and Comic-Con for that week- in short, this is going to be a weeklong Gathering, roughly.
So, why this random post, in February, you're probably wondering.
Well, this is to look to see if anyone else would be interested in making this a massively large Gathering.
Be forewarned, though, Comic-Con is expensive, and I'm estimating at around 700$USD for everything for that week, except traveling to San Diego and from San Diego, if go with four people in a motel room. Price estimate includes Comic-Con, day at Seaworld, renting a car (if divyed up amongst four people), food, and hostel.
It'd obviously be cheaper if you decided to cut down on the days besides the four of Comic-Con and stuff- or live off of the cheapest food you can find- but I'm rambling now.
Anyone else interested?

The Department of Fictional Psychology has the full support of the Department of Internal Affairs on this issue. Outbreaks of spontaneous Snape are likely to be severely detrimental to the functioning on Headquarters, and we will not allow that to happen.
Anyone found using the "snaperrifle" within the bounds of HQ will be brought to my attention. And that is never a good thing.
Yes, this is in addition to the Kudzu's ban on Bleeprin.
No, we are not fair.
Sincerely,
The Tiger Lily (DIA)

...I actually make these lists for fun while I'm sitting in class! The ones I make up in math are the most violent. If I were an agent, I might actually do most of these.
940. I will not lock my partner in the Aperture Science Testing Center, no matter how inept she is.
941. I will not paint a mural on the HQ hallway wall in the blood of Mary Sues.
942. I will not attempt to rickroll HQ, especially if I think Rick Astley was hot and really dig the whole 80's vibe he's got going in that video.
943. I am not allowed to let sock puppets take responsibility for any of my actions, nor can they go on my missions for me.
944. Attempting to subtly convince the canon characters that I am a child molester is. Not. Funny.
-Except in special situations. However, it makes it difficult to do your job if they don't trust you. Really.
945. I am not allowed to attempt to purchase any canon character's soul, nor am I allowed to set up a "slave trade".
Even if I claim that it's a historical re-enactment.
946. Not allowed to join the Black Cats. Or the 'Sues. Or the fangirls.
947. I am not allowed to make posters of anti-flower propoganda.
-Or flyers. Organizing protests is right out.
948. The flowers may be plotting to steal Christmas, but I am still not allowed to organize a protest.
949. I am not authorized to fire Flowers.
946. Black body paint is NOT a uniform.
947. I am not the psychological warfare mascot, and therefore I may not conduct psychological experiments on the flowers. Or other agents.
948. Any reports submitted with my blood on them will result in disciplinary action in the future.
-The flowers do not even want to know how I managed to digitize my own blood.
949. I am not allowed to replace the no-drool videos with snuff flicks.
-Or pornos.
950. There is no monster living in the console.
951. I am not allowed to nickname the console 'stupid b***'. The monster will get offended.
952. I should not teach the flowers gang handshakes.
953. 'Best 2 out of 3' does not apply to missions.
954. A rubber band and a paperclip is not an authorized PPC weapon.
955. THE REVOLUTION IS NOT NOW, goddamnit.
956. If I insult an agent in another language, the advantage is lost if they're wearing a translator.
957. I may not jury rig a portal jammer and deploy it in HQ, or anywhere else for that matter.
958. Making canon characters cry is not what I was hired for.
959. No, I cannot get a pay supplement for every time a Sue annoys me.
960. I am not a 'Ninja in Training', so hiding in the ceiling vents and jumping out at people is not allowed.
961. I am also not allowed to induce a panic attack in my partner by suggesting to her that perhaps there ARE no vents, and we should keep the door open to avoid suffocating to death.
962. The minis do not like tootsie rolls, which are bad for their health.
963. None of the vending machines are trying to kill me. Probably.
964. I am not allowed to play with liquid nitrogen.
965. I am not allowed to experiment with bleeprin and ethyl alcohol.
966. I am not allowed to make a molotov cocktail with a bottle of alcohol and some bleeprin, even if I think it has a hilarious similarity to the mentos and coke experiment.
967. I am not allowed to threaten suicide with pop rocks and coke, nor with mentos and coke.

On a whim I just wandered back here though it's been a while. It's nice to see the board is mush the same as it's always been. ^_^

938) I will not genderbend Sabbat for fun. If I do, then my resulting death will be my own fault.
939) I will not allow Discworld's and/or Good Omens' Deaths into HQ

Good day, all.
We of the Department of Fictional Psychology congratulate Agents Sara Knight and Zach Homewood on the completion of a successful mission. However, we are concerned with some of the particulars of said mission. We would like it to be known that any use of the "snaperrifle" in any capacity other than the strictly professional will result in the offending party being banned from all Bleeprin supplies. We simply do not wish to contemplate the kind of mayhem such a thing would cause in the halls of HQ.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
The Kudzu Vine

Clearly actually getting up in the morning has something going for it, for as I stared at the morning's emails and worked my way through the first pint-and-a-half of tea of the day, it started snowing. And it's only just stopped. And there's loads. It's ace.

Looks good! Loved the Snaperrifle, it had me laughing hard enough that my roomie came and checked on me.
Spotted a typo, btw: “'Mithril coat be damned, for grying silver tears, having your villain randomly grow wings, randomly having an orgy in the Mines of Moria'”
