Dropping the formatting link here again for convenience.
And as far as rules go, there seems to really be one: if someone doesn't want certain kinds of questions asked of their characters, they can say so.
Anyway, have fun!
Agent pairs you can ask:
What's been the hardest part about adjusting to HQ? If memory serves both your home verses have pretty wild sets of rules, tho since I don't remember what those verses are I'm prepared to be proven wrong.
((Larry's the Minecraft wolf, right? Is he still a wolf or no?)
Taking questions for:
Where's my paycheck?
Signed,
an angry agent
How do you feel about the "more logical" AU of the PPC, the CPP? Like it? Dislike it? Indifferent?
((I hope this is okay!))
((-kA))
Wait. The PPC has AUs? I knew we were fictional! Take that, stupid author! gets hit on the head with lampshade Ow!
Does it still kill Sues? Because if so, I’m on board.
((This is okay!))
...I’d really like to write a Logical!Carlisle, because that could be really funny.))
How're you dealing with having a partner who doesn't like killing Sues?
Mina’s worse than my last partner. She ignores me, wanders off on missions, and TRIES TO SAVE SUES. Why? WHY? Doesn’t she know that all Sues must die! Aagh. I’m not dealing well.
((He didn’t really answer the question, but oh well.
—Ls))
How long have you been at the PPC? Did you always want to be an agent?
What do you do for fun? Do you go to New Caledonia at all? What's your favourite place, in HQ/New Cal/the multiverse?
Uh... Is it going to be risky being your friend, with all the, um, accidents you cause?
Do you still have any powers you might've had during the events of the Musical, or did coming to HQ poof those out of continuity? Also, what's the funniest thing a badfic you've encountered ever did by accident?
No real reason, I just want to watch the look on my partner’s face when she realizes another person thinks she’s a total Sue. Really, there’s only a certain number of lectures on vampires being superior in all ways I can take!
What’s your favorite color? How many friends do you have? Which Flower’s your favorite? Do you like caramel? What about chocolate?...
((I’ll stop her there before this get too ridiculous.))
If you could get away with stealing one (1) uber-Shiny from any continuum (think: Silmarils, the One Ring, the Infinity Stones, etc), which one would it be and why?
Can we date? I like tea too!
((I am so sorry. Thalia likes pretty people and is about as subtle as a brick))
but Kaguya-sama is not available at the moment. Please contact later. Thank you for your cooperation.
And a question from Liu Siyuan, who also whisks his tea,
And, how many missions have you guys done? I personally have lost track (sorry!) and am kinda curious if y'all are the new "new Floaters but have already tackled a good chunk of missions" that would be mentioned under notable Floaters.
-kA
Urato: Man, I'm heckin' tired o' randomly fallin' into Guyatchi's place n hearin' him nag 'bout how I'm steppin' on tatami borders. Or not takin' shoes off. Ya be actin' like it's my fault that I fall in yer room when I'm brushin' my teeth!
Inasuke: It's mildly annoying, but I get to see Shigisawa-sempai everyday. That's all that matters.
((About missions: they currently have online 2 missions that aren't with the Four Demonly Kings 😅. With a timeline now semi-established, I plan to write more missions for them between their first and the Strawberry Shortcake one))
Have you watched Winter Begonia?
Agent Liu also hasn't seen it. He's just starting to venture out past xianxia and wuxia, though I think he's fixating more on science fiction for, uh... Jack Harkness-related reasons.
He also wants me to inform you that Kunqu is sorely underrated, compared to Peking Opera.
What tips do you have on caring for long hair?
I utilise a mixture of rice bran water once a week, and daily combing of a hundred strokes with an oxhorn comb.
I thank you for your curiosity.
((He is actually flustered as dleck about whether this means he has to part ways with his favourite Kanazawa lacquer comb))
How do you think the general PPC organization has changed over your time knowing the place? Also, do you prefer it as it is now, or are there things you wished stayed the same?
But, semi-funny question: If you had to become either a werecreature or a vampire, which would you choose and why?
Nooo, I totally didn't steal this from my mother's questions! Why would you accuse me of such a thing?
-kA
But one of those nice ones. Werewolves not swearwolves, right? Knowing me, though, I'd probably turn into more of a werepomeranian.
Carleton, on the other hand, has actually turned into a vampire once. He got better, though.
((ETA the meta backstory there behind Carleton. He was an OC I wrote for a vampire story where he was a vampire nurse who was helping himself to the blood bank to stave off his urges. He's human here, though. I think :P))
I googled your home canon cause I've never heard of it before, and some of those weapons are pretty bizarre, even to me (Kid Icarus native). Chainsaws, flowers, a Christmas tree, the shark miniguns, freaking lightsabers, fish knives, yo-yos...what's the funniest one you've ever found? And what's with the fish fusion weapons, anyway?
Only thing I can say for them is that there is a lot of magic holding them together. Some of the weirdest are the Tragic Umbrella, Candy Cane Sword, Ham Bat, and Star Cannon. The Star Cannon is a very good weapon, but it's not very practical because it uses fallen stars as ammo. My favorite sword is probably the Night's Edge.
You like Shakespeare? A Troupe By Any Other Name is always looking for new folks.
No, I'm not shilling for them, I'm just a fan.
I have a few sundry soliloquys memorized, but I don't really know much about theatre. I would like to jion, though, if you don't mind.
Nice to meet ya! I'm Sandi, I work with directors Kate Lynn and John Naki (amid other talented folks trying to dip their toes into the wonderful wonderful world of theatre!!) and we've currently got a casting call for Much Ado About Nothing set in, if I'm remembering correctly, the lavish and exotic Earth Kingdom from Avatar: The Last Airbender! No need to be a bender to apply -- that's what DORKS are good for!
If you're interested, auditions will be held at the Really Very Little Auditorium at the Green Hour on Thursday! Or just walk in after your mission and give us a holler. We might hear you!
But I know absolutely nothing about Avatar: The Last Airbender or the Earth Kingdom either. That's yet another fandom I have no knowledge of and might not have time to find out about because there are already a longish list of fandoms That I'm in. Not to say that I'm not interested, but I don't have all the time in the world.
Wait. You’re doing a play in a location from Avatar? Even after the play episode, The Ember Island Players?
And is it Boadicea who doesn’t know it, or Bw?
Sorry for the interruption.
—Ls))
They're lands out of nightmares. I'd be fighting monsters 'til that they get into piles taller'n my head. But it's not al like that. The forests and the rivers rolling on the plains, that's a beautiful sight to see. And the deep caves, where there's ore and jewels to find.
I'd rate it maybe a 6 or a 7.
Taking questions for:
Have you had any trouble being a dragon in HQ with how the design of the place favors humanoids a lot?
Usually I just have to avoid narrower halls during my shift. I’m technically allowed to use those magic disguise boxes of yours to make size more manageable, but then balance becomes an issue. Seriously, how do you scavengers stay upright?
-Ocotillo, DIA
Have either of you ever gone feral?
Jiwon: I don’t think so? At least I don’t remember ever going, um, feral. I think. What would that even be like? Is that just something that can happen to people?
Charlie: Eh, not really my thing.
Going feral would be like... acting less sapient, I suppose? Defaulting to base instinct? Basically, have you ever gone full wrathful fox on someone? And if not, what might tip you that way?
I admit I've lost my temper a few times in the past, but never to the point of going, um, feral. And to be honest? I'm not sure what would push me over the edge, but I hope I never have to find out.
I have... so many agents. I believe the end-of-scene notes in this are up-to-date for anything Prime Multiverse, but basically anyone who (you think is) alive in 2022 HST is open for questions, whether they're an active agent or not.
Answers will be Canon unless I state otherwise for some reason. :)
hS
What’s it like living as a computer? Are you evil? Are you gonna take over HQ someday? If so, when? Why don’t you capitalize stuff? Oh, and what’s your favorite color?
((Not sure why Mina’s asking this! But whatever.
—Ls))
it's fine no i'm not no again never why should i black and green camo
What're your thoughts on laser pointers?
(( Because I skimmed the big long document and the literal black cat jumped out at me as someone who hasn't been around much ))
The mini likes them, and frankly that's all that needs to be said.
(("The mini". ~hS))
What do you look like? What’s it like working in Legal? Is this censored?
[Redacted]
Sincerely,
Agent Chiaroscuro, Legal Department
[Redacted] you too.
Facetiously,
Linstar, the Board.
can oleander come play with us after school today
((For obvious reasons this doesn’t fit the formatting because kids don’t care about that, but this is definitely for D and C haha))
Y du u thikn dat spllng iz emprtant? Itx nut, cuz u cn reed wut im sying!!!!111
Also, vrompirez suk. (geddit, suk blud)
((This is facetious. Also, I’m sorry, David. —Ls))
What are your opinions on the Oxford comma?
Can ya, like, get Guyatchi ((Kaguya)) ta stop givin' me da stink eye every time he's in my vicinity?
Thalia here! Doomie never leaves our RC so uh, good luck? I can scare him away if ya want! Doomie says I’m really good at scarin’ people!
What’s your favorite type of explosive?
He does like his BTS. Dy-na-na-na, na-na, na-na, ayy, Dy-na-na-na, na-na, na-na, ayy, Dy-na-na-na, na-na, na-na, ayy, Light it up like dynamite! But yeah, dynamite is definitely the best! I can lend you some, I still have some left over from my last supplier!
I’m sure you need that dynamite way more than I do.
What's the most interesting thing about humans that you've observed so far?
The fact you can care about somethin’ so much you’d put it before everythin’ is so bizarre. I mean, call me selfish, but if the big man in the sky is comin’ after me, I’m not sacrificin’ myself for someone. You ‘umans are seriously weird things.
((Demons, in Meg’s verse, can only be erased from their plane of existence by god. Meg is a Second Generational demon, which means it would take an angel (or a couple goddess!sues) to banish her back to hell, but they couldn’t kill her.))
So you've never really packbonded with a human? What if a human packbonded with you?
Considerin’ I can’t feel… packbondin’ as you put it, yeah. Don’t know wot I’d do, frankly.
So, you remember the mission you did with David Null and Paye, right? Well, what are your opinions on the two of them? What's your opinion on how the mission went?
-kA
You’d think the fact I was thrown through a wall by a giant troll would help it stick in my memory. Yes, Paye was the annoying little mortal, correct? Irritating, but my partner is generally worse. As for David, he is of an inferior species of vampire and does not bear mentioning. I was forced through horrible grammar and thrown through a wall, which chipped my nose. How do you think I felt?
Well, Paye’s a luv. David… honestly he reminds me a bit of that Disentangler who works with the blue alien guy. Number? Something like that. But I’d work with them again. Well, other then the total annihilation of my favorite childhood series, it wasn’t bad as far as missions can go. Of course saying that’ll probably mean some glodawful smut gets delivered to us, but whatever.
((If Dia believes David Null isn't worth mentioning, I can't wait 'til she meets K lol.))
((-kA))
