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?

This is the RP and backup Board for the Protectors of the Plot Continuum. Our main board is at https://www.plotprotectors.org/
Welcome, fans of the Protectors of the Plot Continuum and supporters of the Canon Protection Initiative! If you've got a story to plug, an opinion to share, or a discussion you want to join in, this is the place!
If you're looking for PPC stories to read, why not start with The Original Series – the missions of the famous assassins Jay and Acacia, the very first stories in PPC history. Once you've finished them, check out the list of Killed Badfic to find a mission you like the look of, or The Complete List of PPC Fiction to look up specific agents or departments.
Before you join the fun, there are some important links you should know about. Being familiar with these will save you a lot of hassle!
This list is also available as a Atom/RSS feed

Agent pairs you can ask:
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 ))
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
Meg’s glare lessened and the unpleasant icy sensation disappeared from the room.
((So I’ll be gone from tomorrow evening on until maybe July 2nd? I may stay on later, I don’t know yet))
...I’d really like to write a Logical!Carlisle, because that could be really funny.))
I guess that's why." Boadicea went to look at the clothes. her own were getting pretty ragged and beat up. All of the clothes were black. She chose a black long-sleeved button-up shirt and black pants.
Have you had any trouble being a dragon in HQ with how the design of the place favors humanoids a lot?
Though, according to Penny -- the dramaturg, and she never has her notes when I need them -- she chose the Earth Kingdom specifically to highlight the purity double standards under, uh, Confucianism, something something girls had to be virtuous in Chinese culture, and Earth Kingdom is basically Qing Dynasty China... something something A Dream of Red Mansions influencing the set design of Leonato's house. But you really don't need to know the setting inside out to audition! That's what rehearsals are for!
((I think it'll probably also be post-Ozai, pre-Korra, too, so it might be more advanced than what's seen onscreen during Aang's time. But the setting was picked because A:TLA is more familiar to HQ denizens than the average Asian historical drama steeped in Confucianism.
The real reason beyond that is because it would be funny to pit Jacques and LSY against one another as Benedick and Beatrice.))
"My main theory was League competition, especially considering the proliferation of Y/N-Sues may have rendered classic Sues obsolete, and who knows how Y/N-Suvians have fared with this sort of event..."
but Kaguya-sama is not available at the moment. Please contact later. Thank you for your cooperation.
Can we date? I like tea too!
((I am so sorry. Thalia likes pretty people and is about as subtle as a brick))
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!
I think that our entire production line and most of our personnel being destroyed is awfully convenient for you.
"Yeah," Rose replied, "that's just about what they thought about y'all too." She shrugged, as much as she could with her hands up. "Bit galaxy-brained, I know, but it's why they insisted on checkin' this place. Looks like y'all both got shpxed over by whatever happened."
And you claim not to be part of the PPC, then. The Flower certainly sounded skeptical.
Rose nodded. "Bunch of agents stormed Goldie's while me and whoever else remained were tryna figure out what's goin' on." She twitched her head to the side, indicating the pair next to her. "I'm taggin' along with their investigation so they let us run ours. Any more questions?"
I’m sure you need that dynamite way more than I do.
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.

Can ya, like, get Guyatchi ((Kaguya)) ta stop givin' me da stink eye every time he's in my vicinity?
She smiled thinly, the temperature dropping around the room. “I see.”
((See, Meg is the daughter of the Prince of Wrath. And when she’s mad, you’ll know. The temperature drops and you’ll start feeling like whatever is standing next to you is in fact, evil and means you harm, even when it’s not you she’s angry at. Fun demon things.))
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.
My opinion on Twipires? I don't think I have one, honestly... They are what they are. They're part of their established canon, where they make sense in context. Not sure they count as Sues, really, not in their own universe. If one of the major characteristics of a Sue is that they are better than everyone else, but there are a bunch of characters in the universe that have the same kind of power level, is any of them really a Sue? I honestly don't know. I just don't think about sparklepires enough to have the energy to hate them, I guess. There are enough uncanon Sues to worry about.
Removing any of them from their context, I guess you end up with someone really annoying, though. And tough to kill. Not that, uh, I support killing your partner. That's not... what I'm suggesting.
Uh... This might not be the answer you wanted, actually. Sorry, I guess.
Dear understandably angry agent,
I’m afraid I don’t have anything to do with the payroll. If I had some more information, I could try to escalate the situation.
Though, since you’re here, could I interest you in some Draugr weapons? The armory added an extra zero to their last order and we’re not really sure what to do with all the extras.
Yours,
Aulhar
they are real because there was a dinosaur at the nursery when i was really really young her name was marsha and she was a try-sarah-tops and if she liked you she would give you rides! one time she gave me a ride!! and i nearly fell off but it was fun
Constance --
Roger that on the Dawn Treader. Push comes to shove, Ellie can coax him out.
Understood! We actually don't have that much sugar at our place for much the same reason. Ellie on sugar is a nightmare.
Starberries sound excellent! I look forward to trying some. I don't suppose you guys moved here in time to catch the Lychee Festival in Houaïlou? The fruits come in season in December in this part of the world and are not to be missed!
Best,
Christianne
((Oleander would be very confused by my Hobbit Jurassic World AU, then ;P))
[Redacted] you too.
Facetiously,
Linstar, the Board.
