Mini Event: Network Misfires... 2!

[seasonshelpers]

It starts with a network post from a generic "researchcentre" account. The video feed shows what appears to be an empty cubicle, and a few employees gossiping in the background.

"Can't believe he brought the cat to work again."

"Who, Gary? Yeah, I heard Helene felt bad for him."

The cat in question creeps into the video, curiously nosing and pawing at the screen, as the conversation continues.

"I don't blame her. I saw his dream a couple weeks back, and Buttercup looked so sad alone at home!"

"Oh, that dream cloud thing? What a disaster. Can't believe Bartholomew holds down a job."

"At least it's been a couple years since the cat caused an incident..."

As if on cue, Buttercup gets bored and starts walking on the keyboard. The feed cuts off.

---

Welcome to a Mini Event! Much like last time around, the network server's having cat-related difficulty, so all network messages have a chance of going to the wrong recipient. It doesn't need to happen, but there's a high chance of misfires happening for the duration of the mini event.

This post can be used for sending out messages that can end up for anyone and everyone completely without meaning to. Feel free to also just send a blank message with your character and receive messages from others! Whatever works best for you and is most fun.

This event will happen for the whole weekend, starting from now and ending on late Sunday night (so March 6-9) once they finally manage to fix the mistake. As always, backtagging is encouraged.

Remember to put warnings up if you want to post anything NSFW-ish and especially link pictures; however, if anything gets explicit (e.g. sexting), remember to move it to inboxes or another post.

I wanna do something for Mecchan's birthday before the End-of-Winter Festival makes everything all busy. Are most cakes safe for Pokémon? He did pretty well with Mary-chan's birthday cakes but I wanna make sure nothing's bad for him.

Also while you're here how do you ask someone why they act all weird when you try and flirt with them now when they started it

Also also is it REALLY that bad to get your ideas from romance novels

[ well. the advantage of technomancy/techopathy is that she can tell something is going on, so while she doesn't have that many people she would naturally send messages to...

there's always The Chaos Option™. time to do things TFLN styletext the void and see if she gets any nibbles. you may get one of the following messages: ]

1. I have made Decisions

2. on a scale of 1-10 I tend to be either at 0 or biblical violence
what is a happy medium? we just don't know ✨✨✨

3. of course his biggest mistake was assuming that I ever gave a damn to begin with

4. at least I use my lack of impulse control for chaotic good instead of chaotic evil 😇

5. you had me at killer robots 🤖

[ sending her messages of your own is also a-ok! ]


[ alternately, you may get a true misfire: a video of her goofing around on her acoustic guitar at an odd angle, clearly taken when the phone turned itself on. she's pretty decent at it, even if she can't seem to settle on any one song for the moment. ]

Given that you're texting me, are these Decisions that require medical attention?

[WORRY.]

1. hey sweetheart. You were delicious last night. I hope I wasn't too much. Are you doing okay? Drinking water? Eating extra nutrients? Getting some rest?

2. hey tasty bon bon~ are you almost done with work? My hands are aching to soothe your...aches. [Followed by a picture of Koro's hand seductively tugging at his own collar.]

3. you keep missing your appointments. Are you forgetful? I'm going to start texting you now. you have an appointment today at 4. Let me know if anything changes. Is there any particular scent you like?

4. Look. [Koro sends a short video he captured. It features a couple of caterpillars on a leaf. Koro then gently beatboxes, and the caterpillars flail to the beat.]

5. [It's...just nudes. Very nicely and artistically posed nudes. They vary in states of undress rather than fully nude.]

[ooc: 18+ characters for this one! Not looking for smut or anything with this, just an awkward/funny shenanigans moment. I'm not opposed to possible smut and can make a private journal for that if needed, I just don't want y'all to assume I'm trying to disobey rules /craughs. This applies to all other prompts as well]

6. [ooc: here's a fun one! How well do you know Koro? Think of a kind of message he would send someone, and respond to that. Regardless if it's in character of him or not, I'll do my best to improvise!]

7. [ooc: Text him instead!]

[Well now, had he meant this for her...? She wasn't sure, but would nevertheless humour the question.]

I do not recall any arrangements?

But I rather enjoy subtle pine or coconut scents, if that helps.

[Hm, she remembered he'd been wearing cologne when they met, right?]

1. So I told someone not Rinku I loved them, and frankly, I deserve some kind of medal for it, that was WAY scarier than any monster I've ever met.

2. [it's just her nudes, sorry. at least they're nice nudes.]

3. This is an embarrassing question, but what does 'welfare' mean? Talking about like an office.

4. [text her!]

1. I just saw someone try to rob a store for cabbages. Why cabbages? No idea. Desperation never ceases to amaze me.

2. You ever have an intrusive thought just make you want to go out and blast something? Having a moment like that.

3. I swear to fucking god the next person who asks me why I'm not in school is getting their ass kicked.

un: kantera, text

[happydreamed]

1. How is the turnimp plant doing? Please don't be concerned about the face.

2. How do you apologize for your dreams springing your trauma on other people?

3. Lately, I've been considering trying to watch cable television.

4. [text him!]

I don't think that's your fault! Wait, should I be apologizing for that too if I find out who was in there?

1. I am free to have a meal with you later tonight if you're ready. I'm visiting the city today and I'm almost there.

Ah but only if you are interested of course.

Please do not feel obligated for my sake.

Forgive me if I came across assumptuous. Please pay me no mind if so.

[Tsutomu is very clearly anxious and trying to set up a meeting with someone. And he is struggling.]

2. how far should I be from a town or city in order to be able to scream as loudly as I can without being heard?

3. Please identify this plant. [He sends a picture of an herb.]

4. Nightwake City guards in the midst of training [Is he trying to search something??? Quite the interesting thing to look up...]

Ingredients
2 frogs, approximately 2 pounds total, gutted and skinned
4 cups dashi
1 cup water
1/4 cup miso paste (shiro, aka, or a combination thereof)
2 tablespoons wakame
Finely sliced green onions

Directions
Rinse frogs under cold running water. Set aside.

In medium-sized soup pot or saute pan, bring dashi to steady simmer. Place washed frogs in pot and simmer for 10 minutes.

Add miso paste to pot and incorporate into broth by pressing miso paste against edge of soup pot. Simmer for 5 minutes longer, until frog flesh is cooked through but still very tender. Add wakame to pot and let soften in broth.

Serve immediately. Garnish with green onions.

1) The scented crayons lied to me, even thogh they smelled good they taste just as gross as normal ones! Bleh!

2) [It looks like a child's crayon drawing of a whole bunch of figures and Pokémon and dolls playing in a field of all sorts of brightly coloured flowers. There's no further context.]

1) Stretching is important and so is how hard or soft your toy is. It kinda depends on what you're preparing for. I can give you a demonstration if you really want~

2) My personal record if nine times in a single night without the help of illicit or illegal substances. My maximum with assistance is fifteen times in a single night. Inside fifteen different people. It was a wild wild night.

3) I need sexy puns for penis, ass, pussy, and breasts. STAT.

1) LOOK! LOOK!

[Pictures come spamming in. Pictures of so many ducks on grass, in water, eating peas, and finally a selfie of Lucifer surrounded by the ducks, he looks so happy and excited.]

DUCKS!

2) I want pancakes. No. I need pancakes. I fucking need them right now! And you here with me eating said pancakes. Get over here now! Please.

((OOC: NSFW 18+)

3) Thinking of you~

[Attached is a collection of pictures of Lucifer in various states of undress. Him in the mirror doing a sexy selfie, him on his bed, him lounging in a throne, he's wearing his open shirt, fishnets, sometimes boots, in one he's barefoot for his hooves can be seen. Some he sticks out his snake tongue.]

1. I made the railings look more cool as I fixed them and they had the audacity to kick me out of the building.

2. I went to a restaurant and they offered me milk as a drink. I'm suing.

3. NEVER mix bleach and ammonia. In fact, don't mix bleach with anything unless someone gives you a permission.

4. Oh. The recipe said 2 teaspoons and not... tablespoons... welp.

3.) Text him!

nsfw-ish options; feel free to come to his inbox for these

4.) ( Just images of bite marks on his inner thighs and him in a long sleeved black shirt that is much too long for him. The shirt goes past the tops of his thighs, but it seems to be all he's wearing. )
5.) How's your neck? Sorry again.
6.) Text him, NSFW-ish edition! Please go to his inbox for heavier stuff!
