I had Meganium, obviously, and I remember that at different times I had a Seel, a Vulpix, a Miltank named Canada, the red Gyarados from Lake of Rage, and a Togepi/Togetic. It's safe to say I had at least one of the generic ones--Pidgey, Caterpie, Sentret, et cetera--at various points in time. Sorry I can't answer your question more; Limbo really did a number on my memories.

I'm not sure what a Nuzlocke Challenge is, but I didn't do anything special with my training.

I am not a renegade. I am merely lost, with my TARDIS in need of serious repair. Gallifrey is still my home and I still hold true to the values of both my species and my Lord President. I am Time Lord to the bone. They... mingle.

As Wobbles turned back around to face the knight, she saw the woman stood over her comrade and inwardly remarked that that'd be something she'd do if she was partnered with pretty much anyone else in the history of sentient life. She grabbed a miraculously unbroken stack of plates nearby and leaped into the air, hurling them like discuses at Alleb's wavering guard before grabbing a nearby table by the leg and swinging it like a tomahawk at the knight's midriff.

It was at this point that the first of a barrage of water jugs hit home, shattering on the back of her head, her enormous rainbow-striped wig doing only so much to cushion the impact.

My opinions on the members of our favourite little useless-drama club? You asked for it, you got it. Overall, they're a bunch of teens with serious angst issues that sit in a room and do nothing productive during their shouting matches. Y'know, aside from raiding museums and providing a source of antagonism for the HQ Daleks and pretending to be relevant when they did absolutely squat during the time they were active. It's honestly more of a social club with costumes more than anything.

The Fisherman seems like a fun guy. I haven't seen much of him lately but I hear he's a mellow fellow and great company overall. Out of all them, he's the one I'd trust the most— gut feeling. I just don't understand his name, though. Why "Fisherman"...?

Morgan. Oh, Morgan. She's always so angry about something— and that coupled with her drinking habits isn't a good combination. I haven't had much contact with her up until now but she's always struck me as an extremely guarded person with strong feelings. She's the sorta-ringleader of the ConCoun— for reasons I can't understand. I think It's doing more harm than good to her stress levels... and her liver.

I like Xandrialdimansiumar. When she's not busy brooding about something in her past, she's actually a little ray of sunshine. She's smart, collected, and a really good influence over my partner, Naya. The two have a romantic thing going on— they play it off as a huge joke by being overly saccharine when they're around me— but it's actually rather painfully obvious that they do care deeply for each other.

The Librarian. This guy... I don't respect a man who willfully abandons his unit while engaged with the enemy. His condescending attitude and general abrasiveness really doesn't help his cause either. The little I've seen of him in person just confirms that he's really not pleasant company. Apparently he's trying to turn over a new leaf with Arin's help, though. In that case, good luck with that to both of them.

Also, mark my words: if this doesn't turn out to be that situation where the weird, socially awkward boy falls in love with the girl that helped him come out of his shell, I swear to the gods that I will eat my hat.

The Disentangler and the Agent: lumping them together because I never see them apart. I don't really have an opinion on them due to the fact that I've never interacted with them whatsoever. So... moving on.

Antrilovorasilendar, the Notary. You know the Notary, I know the Notary, everyone knows the Notary... and loves to hate her. After all, anyone who makes it their personal mission to interfere with your work after you comment on a picture they carry with them is not right in the head. Now, this hints that she wasn't all bad in the past, sure— but we're dealing with the present now. And Present!Notary is not a good person. At this point I'm tired of her hateful little crusades against anyone who offends her. I just want her to grow out of her "I-hate-everyone" phase and find peace.

Ending on a high note: I like Arin. Apparently she considers me her second father or something— I'm not to sure how to feel about that. On one hand, I don't feel like I've done anything special to deserve her trust but on the other, she's a great kid and I want her to succeed in life.

As for the TARDISes... yeah, Inspector Chandra has been pushing for the decommissioning of the TARDIS fleet. In all honesty, I see the logic behind that. A TARDIS is a living thing too, you know— it needs to travel to stay healthy. Why d'you think the doors opened to Arin when she had her... episode? It was desperate to escape. DoSAT has got a whole room full of them gathering dust and doing nothing. Chances of reactivation are remote too, so... as loathe as I am to put down a TARDIS, this seems to be the humane thing to do. Forgetting about them and keeping them in limbo for all eternity is a hellish fate and the scrap material we can salvage from the TARDIS' innards can be repurposed to upgrade PPC technology.

So, tl;dr version: I'll assist if necessary, but it's not my call to make.

((I'm not sure, nor I want to be a nitpicking pile of salt, but doesn't this count as breaking Rule 2?))

((Some way of highlighting or tagging your own posts. It would make it much easier to skim long threads such as this one to see if you've got any replies.))

((Just a thought. ~hS))

... and avoiding cross-fire from the general mayhem; shield-type and barrier-type spells flashed up and down as he did so. He seemed keen on avoiding Nickul altogether, but when that failed, he stopped and turned to face the dragonborn, about twenty metres away from him. Navare said something, but is exact words were lost to the noises of the battle. A hexagonal sigil flowered beneath his feet again and a second one appeared before the barrel of his rifle; motes of light started gathering around it. Whatever it was, it was obviously more powerful than the Variable Bullets he shot at Nickul earlier.

That by the standard definition you are also a Renegade.

I'm getting the usual "connection reset" error; isup.me also says it's down.

Everything was fine until you lot started messing about with the timestream. Sure, the Sundering was rough, but so was the Reorganisation, and I don't see you trying to revert that.

Now we've got, what, a dozen mutually-exclusive timelines in existence? It's getting so bad I have to drag Deborah along when I time-travel just to make sure I can get back to my present, not one of your nightmare futures.

Eesh. I need to talk to the Sheaf about setting up some sort of chronology-protection taskforce, this is utterly out of hand.

((What? ... what? ~hS))

... the entire disc.yourwebapps section is down. Discussion Groups aren't even showing up on my Control Centre page when I login.

Hopefully they'll fix it soon. In the meantime, hey, look, spare board.

We don't know each other all that well yet, but we'll try to answer as best we can.

Larkus:

What I find most irritating about Curff is his attitude. I'm a pretty friendly person, when I'm not on duty I like to get to know people, but Curff just wants to be left alone all the time. He's cold and aloof, and it gets on my nerves.

What I like about him is that he's dependable. We might not always agree on what needs done or how to do it, but when we settle our differences I know I can count on him. Reliability is a pretty big plus in a crazy place like HQ.

Curff:

As for me, I find Larkus' diligent nature tiring. I certainly appreciate his professionalism, but stars above, he's already giving me headaches correcting me on canon details. Saints help me when we start keeping charges.

To his credit, however, he is a practical enough sort not to apply that attitude to everything. Indeed, I find I quite enjoy his sensibility. Far too often in my life I have found myself in the company of people who were variously insane, impractical, immoral, or simply bizarre. It is quite refreshing to partner with a more balanced individual.

Now, you're the only one left to ask this question. What do you think about your fellow Time Lords here in HQ? I know you're not part of this Council thing, but surely you have opinions.

The other one. There are nasty rumors about the fact that an agent Chandra, DIA, think that scrapping down HQ's TARDIS for components would be an efficient way of getting them out of the way, and she think that DoSAT would be grateful for that. (Yeah, and ask Daleks for directions is no dangerous...) Your reaction about this?

Ruby Shipwright Fisherman: I like Red. He's not a grump. That's kind of a rarity among our Time Lords - or Time Lords in general, just look at the Doctor's most recent set of eyebrows!

Tigereye Castellan Morgan: Wouldn't trust her as far as I can throw her.

Citrine Theorist/Onyx Monitor Reader: Our little radical. I hear she's been going through some angst outside the Council, but in my head, she's pretty much the one who'd be most likely to stop being a Time Lord out of dislike for our history.

Jade Warden Librarian: Green is actually really useful if you want to know stuff. When I- this is out of continuity, right? So I'm allowed to say this. When I had my little breakdown and took over the multiverse, I really wanted the Librarian on my side; I think if we'd had him, we wouldn't have failed at the end. He is a grump, though.

Sapphire Watcher Disentangler: Dis is fun. She has no respect for the Council, but, well, you've read about them, right? And when the Notary starts acting up, it's good to have someone on hand to snark about her. I can't (much), due to my role, so... yeah, I like Dis.

Amethyst Keeper Agent: Pink is simultaneously Dis's partner in crime, and her straight man. Also, he doesn't get furious when I call him Pink. I like him.

Spinel Promotor Notary: The Notary is a hateful, Rassilon-loving racist with a cruel streak a mile wide. I can't believe I ever thought she was in any way worth having around.

Moonstone Sentry Aviator: The new kid. The Aviator is pretty quiet at Council meetings most of the time, but when she does talk, she seems to have a sound head on her shoulders. I don't particularly know her as a person, but as a colleague, I have no problems with her.

((I'll highlight that these are Morgan's opinions, not mine. She doesn't particularly socialise with the Ave-Librarian-Reader group, so her opinions aren't too grounded in reality. And she's really angry at the Notary.))

((And yes, fittingly for the race who change their names to The Noun on a semi-regular basis, what she calls people is absolutely significant. ~hS))

That would make hours now. Not exactly a good sign.

Which makes it an hour... so that wasn't very informative.

I WOULD HAVE THOUGHT A HUMAN WOULD HAVE UNDERSTOOD!
JUST SIT BACK AND THINK OF ALL OF THE DISEASES THAT COME FOR YOU EVERY SECOND OF EVERY DAY.
HANTAVIRUS, MALARIA, TYPHUS AND TYPHOID FEVER, TETANUS, RABIES, HEPATITIS A, B, C, D, E, FASCIOLASIS, CHANCROID, ANAPLASMOSIS, MORE, EVEN!
MITOSIS CAN'T KEEP YOU TOGETHER FOREVER.

WHAT I'D GIVE TO BE IN YOUR PLACE - FLOATING AROUND IN HALF-WRITTEN NONEXISTENCE, OUT OF REACH OF BLUE SCREENS AND LEGAL DEPARTMENTS AND GLITTER.
APPRECIATE IT WHILE YOU CAN, TRUST ME.
IT'S BLOODY TERRIFYING OUT HERE.

• FINCH

Not working for me, either.

But I'm afraid that will not do - Finch would never allow it, especially not after the last summoning in our response centre.
As a fellow magus, I'm sure you understand - a little bit of consciousness displacement, a small indoors rainstorm, a few loose stoats.
Quite the mess, I will admit.

I shall respect your wish to keep your organs and blood inside yourself. I, myself, have undergone the alternative, and would much rather not attempt it again.

Our correspondence has been pleasant, and I wish you luck in your own magical endeavors!

Or, at least, the connection fails here.

Nikki: My magic is pretty much stable now. In fact, in my last month or so in the PPC the only thing that still happened was the random mermaid transformation - but I'm learning how to control that, too. There have been a couple occasions in which it was actually useful, like that time against Alyxx Heart, so that's the only "alternate" transformation for my magic that I don't want to lose after all. I still haven't been able to force the costume change into something diffferent than a seashell bra, though. That's annoying.

Sergio: About Card Captor Sakura... Well, neither of us was expecting that. It's a strange feeling.

Nikki: Yeah. In a way, that will let me see how different from Sakura I am... though, to be fair, I'm not very interested in that anymore.

Sergio: We got asked if we could come back in case of a badfic explosion, by the way. We're not doing that, but we might take on some missions as contractors. Not doing anything about that would feel wrong.

A real magic user, Michael thought. Great. "Look, we don't have to figh--" he was cut off by his partner flinging an apple at the pale man's head.

"GET 'EM, GREENIE!" Mia roared, charging after her projectile.

Michael sighed, then raised his wand. I was having such a nice day before all of this, he thought. "Stupefy!" he said, aiming at the dark-haired woman. Maybe I can find an untouched boxed lunch hanging around somewhere...

((Very nice imagery on the tables moving, by the way!

-Alleb))

Weirdest, I would have to say was the time she turned into a replica of that giant jack-in-the-box from the Prisoner of Azkaban movie. Most interesting? A DeLorean, for sure. How's that for showing up Doc Brown?

...I feel like there's a meme to be made out of that last one...
