The PPC Roleplay Board - Latest posts

The library where I work had me shelving business directories recently, and one of the names stuck out to me.

Canon City, Colorado.

I have no idea what we'd use it for, but I think that would be the perfect place for some kind of PPC presence, whether in-fic or as a Gathering site. Has any of us been there, and so been able to describe the place?

""RUN!" Dafydd Illian yelled, with all the power of an Elf who has lived in the Blessed Realm under the light of the Two Trees of Valinor. Constance threw herself backwards away from him and dove behind a rock. Lifting her head for less than half a second, she had a brief glimpse of Dafydd standing at the heart of an inferno as the full power of Sairalindë's ring was unleashed, and then the world

turned

white."

"A low, almost subsonic, buzzing could be heard. Oh no! cried Makes-Things. Get a phaser, Agent Cameron! Then he screamed. Tawaki heard a sickening crunch and a thump, and the connection ended.
Makes-Things? Makes-Things? MAKES-THINGS? S---. "

There's also Nyx choosing to leave with Dassie, the Building of the Tomb of the Unknown PPC Agent, and Jay and Acacia's retirement.

I think the others are right, y'know. This year we've had the Macrovirus Invasion in March, the Mary-Sues Invasion in April running on from that, the Robecca exorcism in Narnia in July, and the spambot/Ypur Invasion a few days ago which resulted in us switching Boards.

We really don't need any more emergencies, major threats or full-out wars. The Catastrophe Theory adherents are already going to be going berserk and waving placards about Doom and the End being Near. If you want to see the other emergencies we've had, the Wiki page "PPC Emergencies" will tell you everything.

Not to mention that HQ, while back to normal business, suffered a drastic loss of agents during the first two Invasions this year and therefore probably would struggle to cope with another war.

And as a final point against carryng this idea out right now (I'm not saying "Forget it, we'll never do this", just "Hold back and wait"), a few months ago we were requested by hS to remember that the purpose of the PPC is entertainment, not continually taking down the big guns. I believe his metaphor was along the lines of "It's very satisfying taking down a Death Star, but while you're doing that there's a thousand TIE fighters on your tail".

I'd suggest taking on a few regular missions- exorcising slashwraiths from Legolas and Aragorn or killing off another twin sister of Harry Potter or something- before we have to deal with yet another problem that pulls us all off regular duty.

On the other hand, I do think this sounds like an idea with a lot of potential and I would be happy to join in with it. I am also curious as to where the Flowers would go, as their original world no longer exists.

"I've always wondered who invented that song. Probably the Legal Department or something, I wouldn't be surprised." She looked over at the annoyed-looking group around the stereo, which began to break up as Tyler zoomed out of the door.

"Figured he wouldn't stay long," she grinned. "Well the music's been sorted now, so anybody want a dance?" She started moving toward the poeple who were more than a little tipsy already and more or less wobbling in time to the strains of "I Want To Break Free".

hands over a box of biscuits Handy even once the biscuits have been eaten! grins

Good to meet you! Hope you enjoy it here.

Do not worry about it. I am sure that it was an honest mistake... notices several people approaching with rather angry expressions Ah... I think I had best depart. My work here at HQ has made me a goodly number of enemies.

heads out the door rather quickly

"Er. English, I meant," Leas said, looking haunted.

Deryn shoved an iced biscuit at him before he said anything else he'd regret.

"It's not that she's really bad," he admitted. "But she's off-key- Deryn, stop that!- and it's bad enough in German."

"Hey, there're worse songs I could pull out," Deryn pointed out, handing Leas a plate. "Not while the music's on, though, and not while it's your birthday. It'd be a shame to ruin that."

(Okay. I just wonder about the arrangements for the page names, since this Tyler doesn't seem to have a last name. He's pretty distinctive, though- got turned into a Pak- Nixen's Known Space verse, apparently; I'm not personally familiar with it- and Medical couldn't reverse it, so I doubt anyone'd mistake them on sight.)

...the death of Elanor Laison, off of the top of my head.

Frankly, it's too big, and too much. At least for right now.

This is also for the TVTropes wiki. I already have Blue and Imbolc's scene in Crashing Down.

I gift you with an egg whisk! It's shiny, gold-plated, and whisks not only eggs, but spambots and author wraiths, too! Use it for good and not evil.

Welcome to the insanity!

You really should read the Legendary Pokemon Goodfics. They aren't listed on the PPC Wiki, since we'd need a group acknowledgement, but they're Legendary by my standards. If you want, just ask. What's even more interesting is that the Authors mostly know each other, and have their stories set in the same AU world.

Haven't really taken a gander at Warcraft. I'm more Legend of Zelda, Pokemon, Final Fantasy, you know, RP Games. THey're fun. I do play one online video game called City of Heroes. Now THAT'S really fun.

Name: Agent Laurel
Age: Unknown, but guessed to be in her twenties.
Height: 5'2"
Hair Color: Depends on the day
Eyes: Usually green
Command Centre: Labyrinth, and on-call for Doctor Who and historical fiction dealing with English and early American history.
Distinguishing Features/Habits: Changes her hair color more than most people change their clothes; adopted two Nuzgul, Cleese and Chapman, and has a pet wolverine, Stinker; favorite method of dispatching 'Sues is death by pokey (much, much more agonizing than it sounds); is occasionally heard muttering about Agent Seven and their army of killer cats; always carries a Punjab lasso, a spork, and a dull paring knife.

Just mine, no one else's.

Er, WTF.

Again?

So soon?

There's this word I'm looking for, here.

Ah, yes.

It's called integration.

Mind doing that before you start shoving even more ideas that won't work?

The actual emergency aspect of it could just be kept on hold for a while, with time spent on developing the involved characters, working out the finer details, etc. Wouldn't want to just start this without a clear plan of how to work everything out.

Everyone loves flying exposives!

... we are avoiding any more PPC-wide emergencies, since we've already had three or four this year. So this idea, even if anyone is interested, will have to be put on hold for at least twelve months.

hS

Drake and her are arguing, or were aruging. I mean, can you bvelieve my partner tried to pull a railgun on Tyler here...
realizes that tyler is there.
Oh sorry about my fgoxxy partner. He was a CAF that turned humanoid, and is still mentally 3 years old. COnfsuing, yes, I know.

does a double-take Oh, I'm sorry. I always forget it's a polite thing. Thank you, in that case. grins, but quickly changes the subject

Yes, I noticed that about Ansela. So. Wouldn't that qualify as stock description for an Assassin, though, hasty and quick with weapons?

But I see what you mean. The weaponcraft would automatically make her a Scary People. speculatively She'd get in trouble if she attempted to apply said weaponcraft to anyone here, though, I think...
