The PPC Roleplay Board - Latest posts

So, I heard from someone that they'd read in the Multiverse Monitor that you were in a threesome with Ilraen and Farilan, but they didn't manage to get the details. So, how was it? Did you have a good time?

How are the fire-lizards doing? Zeke's been a great help for me around the lab; I built him a little bed on my desk and he naps there when he's not fetching me tools.

"I heard about the panty incident, but that wasn't me. Enchanting's not my style. The horde of minis wasn't my fault either. I just happened to be nearby for... various reasons. And earthquakes aren't my specialty. And before you ask, I definitely didn't pay anyone to do it either. Nobody had any evidence of that."

Is it true you once enchanted Luxury's invisible wool panties to fly around the SO's office for three days? What about the time you got a horde of minis to stampede through the halls of Bad Slash? Did you really cause that massive earthquake in the Canon Library 'just to see what would happen'?

"The fact that you think I want to murder the Flowers and the agents who support them, or the fact that you think I'd be so sloppy about it that you'd be able to find out before the coup went down. I mean really."

"No, DAVD is not planning on taking over the PPC by assassinating the Flowers with an army of demonic badgers and replacing them with clones. I don't know where this rumor keeps coming from."

Yeah, I figured it'd happen sooner or later. Talia got a double too. Just... fantastic.

I got this name from my IRC handle. Just stuck, for some reason. Sure, it's stupid, but every other nickname I got was worse.

((This is more or less how I got Thoth as a nick.

...It occurs to me that Dagger's name may have been unconsciously inspired by someone's username on another website. That person is nothing like him.))

When did you become an engineer? Why didn't you tell me?! We could have transferred together! No, better idea - we could have gotten the El to include engineering in our responsibilities!

Are you still going to be helping out with the Sprouts? I need my Blossom, and the kiddies will be so upset if you leave! Especially now that you're... male?

And a dragon... something?

Wait.

Wait wait wait.

DAG-GER! C'MERE! YOU'VE GOT A NAME TWIN!

Of which I have... far, far too many to list here. Any of my characters are available for mailing - if they live outside HQ, we'll send a fire lizard, and if they live in the future, hey, same thing!

Ninetwo: Frankly, ummm, this strikes me as deeply offensive - not just to our employers, who have spent much time, and effort, and, um, time, into creating as ideal of a work environment as they can, but to us employees - us, who place our trust, our hopes and dreams on the backs of our great leaders in the Janitorial Division management! To denigrate them would be to, by extension, denigrate us, and I refuse to do that!

Finch: 'It-s a justice we really bloody ought to have and, because of that fact, we never will ever have it. All these gits are whinging about "not being fired" and "job security" and "milking any form of miniscule payment out to survive to next week". You think you-ve it rough? Every day, all day, I-m out here dying, but that never strikes them, does it?!

Bingle: 'Oh, well, I suppose it could be a fun day out, couldn't it?'

Anne: 'We tried that once in the early days. I don't think there's many people left in JD who'll remember it. Everybody went on strike. It dissolved pretty fast when we realised we all lived in here, and that all the falling infrastructure and angry goops and gases would be going after us, too. I don't think I care so much about my own rights, anyway.'

Anne's Cat (written by Anne): 'My cat scratched out the word "union" and then ate the whole letter. Now she's spitting up shards of it into the rubbish bin. She hates all kinds of rights, especially human ones. I think she would be inherently against this.'

What're some of the strangest things about/in HQ, technologically or culturally, compared to where you lived before?

... Thoth returning to his RC to find Tom snoring in some awkward position under a blanket and Gall still sitting on the floor playing games in the debris of empty bottles and snack wrappers. "Oh, hey, Jötun." Picture of innocence.

Yes, will play video games sometimes, but gaming isn't in my soul. Especially not games where coordination and speed are serious factors. ... Unless it's Guitar Hero. I like that. Never past medium difficulty, though. I only got four fingers, I only wanna deal with four buttons. {= P

What're some of your hobbies?

What're your thoughts on starting a Janitors' Union?

Can you confirm or deny that the Disturbing Acts of Violence Department is trying to take over the PPC?

Ayy ya bois in the Janitorial Division's Shift Twentieth are all up for mail for whatever despicable secrets you want them to spill.

• S86FNC-11630, A.K.A. Finch. Sapient vending machine trapped in a perpetual cycle of fury and paranoia, angry at things he is afraid of, which is practically everything.

• Bernhard Bingard Bingle. Dead wizard held together with obscure magic, all that genius of his gummed up with a centuries' worth of senility and forgetfulness.

• Anne. Ineffably stoic and one of the craziest people in the JD, purely because she has remained so totally sane in her time there.

• Weed Ninety-Two, A.K.A. Ninetwo. Bureacratic rules lawyer who has memorised every single employee rule and guidebook and will be sure to quote them at you when she can.

• Anne's Cat. Scientifically enhanced cat who is smart enough to have developed complete, well thought-out misanthropy but who cannot write letters back or talk. Anne will write back for her, I guess.

Is it true that you've been building up an army of magically-modified plants to overthrow the Flowers in glorious rebellion? Are there really ten-foot tall Venus flytraps meant to consume all Flower sympathizers? Has your partner been helping you with your experiments? Did you plant your failures in the Cafeteria, and that's why all the chefs are disappearing, or did you throw them into FicPsych to make all the therapy minis leave you alone during your appointments with Doctor Freedenberg?

The Console's infernal howling aside, most of my furniture is presently four dimensional spaces away. Not exactly out of my reach, but I somewhat doubt the Flowers would accept me taking time off to retrieve my favorite armchair.

I cannot say I have any recommendations in this reality, but if you are willing to traverse planar boundaries, I know a lovely little shop in my home continuum. Run by a family of halflings, been in the business for twelve generations. Lovely people.

Tom is an absolute lightweight.

-Thoth, noting that nobody who plays Skyrim can claim they're "not a gamer".

I said Dagger was a Dragonborn. That's probably what made you think Skyrim.

...see, the thing is, Dagger is a D&D Dragonborn. Entirely different thing.

I probably should've clarified.

Not even the right continuum. Or the right sort of Dragonborn.

Skyrim is a good game, but that doesn't make me part of it.

I.e., me and my character would equally get our asses handed to us on a silver platter because We Are Not Gamers. So yeah, no need to go to the effort to prove a foregone conclusion. {; P

I guess there's always the chance that Gall manages to get Tom drunk on the sly and then has an advantage?

~Neshomeh, Not a Gamer.

You do know you're an Argonian, right? Just cuz you weren't actually born in Black Marsh doesn't mean you don't have swamp water in your veins. Now put up or shut up. You'll learn your fancy piece of paper doesn't beat my rock-hard skull in the real world.
