See, my first thought here is that hS and I would obviously be sharing our portals, since I'd also love to see Middle-earth and I know hS would also love to see Pern... but both of our plans involved digging in and staying in one place long enough to learn a bunch of complex stuff. So maybe we have to tag along for the immortality trip first. Then it's not a problem. ^_^

Also, is anyone planning on visiting the Potterverse yet? Because that should be on the itinerary.

I'm thinking there needs to be a sub-thread or something in here about how, exactly, we would use our portals if the each member of the PPC got access to one and any number of us could use any given portal, since it's very different from the calculations one runs when deciding on a single journey for oneself.

Because this Young Wizards fic gave me secondhand flashbacks, since I wasn't even around when this style of writing was popular.

Canon inaccuracies (assuming the author isn't just out of the loop when it comes to the more recent books), very poorly formatted dialogue, and dialogue that doesn't look very much like what the characters would SAY, at that!

It genuinely hurt to make myself read this one, and that makes me sad. :(

If so, I will gladly share my portal to wherever I decide to go. ... Granted, I'll share anyways, but that sounds like a pretty sweet deal, so if I can get in on it without spending my portal I'd love to.

She's in the backstory of April Halloway, Tomato's character, and she was killed in the Reorganisation. So, how about:

Harlan --> Anastasia Spade
Entropy --> Emily Newton
"West N-S alley" --> Ruelle Andronicus

I like the idea of putting the partners next to each other. And, on that note, I think we probably need the Ruelle Constance Sims between Rue Bart and Rue Dafydd. It's such a long space between the main streets there. {= )

I’ll portal to the DC universe, 50,000 BC, and soak up some of that meteorite radiation that Vandal Savage was exposed to. Hello immortality, enhanced healing and durability, increased intellect, and superhuman strength, speed, and endurance.

I certainly wish I could've come up with Danny the Street, but he's from DC, mostly sticking around stories involving the Doom Patrol and the Teen Titans once I think.

But you know I guess I could write more about him anyway. That's part of the point of this community.

... needs to kill some people historically. Seriously.

Did we lose anyone in the Assimilation Crisis? Apparently an Agent Andronicus was killed along with the already-used Salok; it might be nice to make use of that.

Other than that... yeah, it's pretty much me, isn't it. LE SIGH.

I think Emily is probably more of a martyr; the circumstances of Echo's death are a bit vague, because the only witness was her killer, who was then killed by someone who promptly went on the run. Emily's murder, on the other hand, was witnessed by Constance Sims, who was not shy about spreading the word.

Well, while examples of life after a Servant's departure are relatively limited, especially as three of the examples I'm aware of relate to King Arthur, it's possible that if a Servant has something that lets them bestow immortality, their master will continue to possess it even if the Servant dies. So, for example, I believe that Medea has elixirs that grant a form of immortality, and Paracelsus von Hohenheim can create Philosopher's Stones that grant a form of immortality, so you have options, although most, if not all, will be Casters. Alternatively, you could really put some effort into winning that Grail War in the name of eternal life - if you wanted, you could probably wish for immortality, and as long as you weren't an idiot about it, I think it's within the Grail's power to grant that.

Okay, I know you were feeding me quotes and getting character checks through this (and asked for a final beta), but... yes??? The sheer yes cannot be overstated.

That is to say, those who already did the wishes and presents and those who haven't yet but are going to (I know some will be coming in for a while yet). Thank you all so much. I can't say how good it feels to look at this and see how many people wish me well.

July 20 is the birthday. I'm on Eastern, so this was made around... four AM for me? And thank for cupcake!

Happy belated birthday! Have a cupcake with just the right amount of moisture!

You planning to write more about this guy?

If you handle starstuff for too long, you’ll get some sort of permanent superpower, and apparently immortality and flight is the most common combo. If you concentrate, you can manipulate it to grant you other abilities as well.

Only downside is there’s a chance you could die if you handle the raw stuff for too long.

Even after the sparklepires have fed, their throats still feel like they’re on fire. It’s muted compared to when they’re hungry, but a never-ending sore throat sounds like a nightmare to me. Sore throats are the worst and I turn into a huge whiny baby when I’m sick with one.

Have ice cream and a pile of yarn!

I just want to finally learn to play guitar. Oh, and recorder. Maybe harp, too, if I can push my manual coordination that far. Assuming the requirements across multiple musical disciplines are still the same, I dunno if my hands are good enough to do everything I'd need them to do to make journeyman... but at least I know I can sing in key and pick up new music quickly, even if my breath control has always been iffy. And I'd be good at anything that needs doing in an archival capacity. And I do have one good song lyric to my credit, and I've dabbled in noting down little bits of music that come into my head in dreams. If I can make journeyman with that as a starting point, I'll be pretty proud of myself. ^_^

Have a cupcake!

There's virtually no downside to this if you don't mind subsisting exclusively on pig blood for the rest of forever. {= )
