Where's my paycheck?

Signed,
an angry agent

I do like chiken nuggets but did you know chikens are the closet living relating to dinosaurs and also dinosaurs are n't real? Jasmine tolled me she's read all the books and they're not in there at all!

Hi Christianne,

I'm not sure there's anything he won't climb right now, so if your Dawn Treader has its mast I expect he'll find a way to get up it. When he tries to claim his eyesight is "elvish enough" that he can watch the movie from there, please don't let him get away with it; some sci-fi will be good for him.

No dietary restrictions except the usual ones about not too much sugar. Dafydd's views on vegetarian Eldar have been broadcast across HQ, and I'm not going to argue with that.

We popped back to Malij to pick starberries the other day (they're sort of like a strawberry-kiwi cross); I'll have Dafydd bring a basket in trade for the I-can't-believe-it's-not-lembas.

-Constance

((Oh yeah, Constance has the dynamic completely backwards in her head, but that's what makes it funny. ^_^

(("The books" are the LotR canon; Oleander hasn't yet processed that The Canon isn't actually history for everywhere. Huinesoron has this same problem. ~hS))

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.

Sincerely,

Agent Chiaroscuro, Legal Department

Have you watched Winter Begonia?

((The best Japanese combs seem to be boxwood. Not sure about lacquering, but wooden combs should be fine. The point of a horn or wooden comb is to reduce static and lessen hair damage when using it, and to massage the scalp and redistribute the hair's natural oils!

Also, incidentally, Kaguya's from Hokkaido but he seems to be quite a fan of the culture around Kyoto. I wonder if he has any thoughts about his local culture in Hokkaido, though, especially since a lot of people elsewhere in Japan have this vision of Hokkaido as a sort of dairy and farmland paradise (so many dairy products here are ~from Hokkaido~ with the connotation of it being richer and creamier), as well as a point of historical contention between the Japanese and the indigenous people like the Ainu (in Kagoshima there's a museum with the Most Problematic wording about the colonisation of Hokkaido!). Not sure how to phrase it in a way that wouldn't offend him IC :P))

((He is actually flustered as dleck about whether this means he has to part ways with his favourite Kanazawa lacquer comb))

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!

Taking questions for:

• Peregrin and Taq, RC 112358, DMS
• Farah and Kkukttak, RC [no idea yet], Crossovers
• Technician Tomash
• Aulhar Tauran, Finance

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.

"Sometimes it feels like I'm the only one in Headquarters besides the Elves who cares about their hair," he muttered to himself, before going over to examine the food section.

"Just, you know, trying to make sure we're all on the same page."

After all, wouldn't this Flower take offence to being accused of being the source of the anti-Glitter pulse?

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!

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!

... That your organisation had nothing to do with this.

"Apparently!" Rose replied. "I'm not with the PPC, but I'm almost inclined to believe 'em, on account of a whole bunch of their agents got disappeared too."

Almost, the Datura repeated, its tone increasingly annoyed.

Rose nodded. "Wouldn't be the first time Upstairs did somethin' behind the agents' back, but then again, they've been less blatant about it the last few times. These two don't seem to have anythin' to do with it, regardless."

What do you look like? What’s it like working in Legal? Is this censored?

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.

I'd rate it maybe a 6 or a 7.

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.

It’s A. Troll, not A Troll. Get the period right! Ahem

((Though I, Ls, will if you want me to.))

((I think this is one of my Troll Division agents. Maybe Tyop.))

((—Ls))

Now this requires some thought.

We are now moving in a world where I have not only figured out how to handle my transformation, but have enough info about different fandoms to answer this question. I haven't, yet, because going from crow intelligence to human intelligence is a massive, eldritch-horror sort of thing and I am currently grappling with the concept of Tuesdays so you know

Crow brain goes: Shiny thing!! Many thing. Many thing=better than one thing. Collect all things. Keep them. Have them. WIN.

Human brain goes: Well, which thing comes with maximum sparklies, minimum bagage? The One Ring looks nice, but I don't like the idea of becoming corrupted by it. Even if I got away with the theft, I don't think I'd get away with the repercussions of owning the trinket itself. Having all the Infinity Stones would appeal to the crow, as there is an aspect of quantity over quality there, but as a human I am aware of their explosive power when kept in the same place. I don't need any complications. I just like shiny things. Even just the one Stone would be too much for me. Same with Horcruxes really. Some of them might be shiny, but if they still contain a bit of someone's soul it's not worth it.

So! I'd go for something that's shiny, and maybe plot relevant, but not literally universe breaking. Like the Sword of Godric Gryffindor. Looks good on a shelf, but won't cause me to go insane. Or for something shiny that also has the added benefit of repelling evil, like a Dagon Sphere.
