Mini Event: Network Misfires... 2!



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.
roundandaround: Pondering. (but is it though)

Cola? No, that's getting it off the road, right? Maybe ask Neechan, she knows everything. We just have hardwood so I can just wipe it up if Hina-chan spills.

[Definitely not who he meant to text. Was something off with the network again?]

Cola gets blood off a road? Just what is that stuff made of.
roundandaround: Confused. (eh?)

I dunno, I just heard it somewhere. They probably power wash it after or something so it doesn't get all sticky and gross.
rustyhonesty: (Uh okay)

That sounds logical. But also makes me not want to drink cola ever again.

[Not that he drinks it a lot anyway. Just sometimes when they go out to eat.]
roundandaround: Final pose of a Happy Around. (happy around!)

I just don't really think about it. I mean, a person and a road are made of different things anyway.
rustyhonesty: (Skeptical)

I think you're being a bit too carefree about this.
roundandaround: Chided. (uguu)

That's what Neechan said when I ate a mushroom I didn't recognize because Summer has poison immunity anyway...
rustyhonesty: (I'm too young to feel this old)

I mean, we do, but you should be careful since there could be poisons we aren't immune to.
roundandaround: Realizing something that was obvious to everyone else. (...oh yeah.)

Really? Would those just be growing on the side of the road?
