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.

If you're second-guessing yourself, why don't we talk about it, and then you don't have to worry anymore? What's wrong? I know Neechan doesn't mind... she congratulates people, actually, it's kinda embarrassing...

[freedomfighterhammer]

I think I don’t want to disappoint her and you. You two are wonderful and being open and…

Haaa… talking about it is making realize it’s a stupid thing to be worried about.

[roundandaround]

I don't get it. If you're worried, you're worried. And if you're worried, you should talk about it. We're your friends.

[freedomfighterhammer]

It’s just that I’m a hedgehog and you’re a human! I don’t want to hurt you going that far! Evangeline is used to it! You…!

I could never forgive myself if I ever hurt you.

[roundandaround]

Eh? That's what you're worried about? But you've never hurt me at all! I hug you all the time and I don't get stabbed or anything.

[freedomfighterhammer]

I know and that’s what’s silly about it!

But, I love you a lot and that’s why I worry.

I’m sorry.

[roundandaround]

Hm... Then what can I do to make it so you don't have to worry anymore? Do I gotta get stronger?

[freedomfighterhammer]

It’s not you, it’s me.

You’re strong plenty. I just need to remember you’re not fragile. I don’t need to be afraid.

[roundandaround]

Yeah, I'm fine! At least I haven't broken so far. ...I mean, I guess I kinda have, but the scars on my face came from a banshee, that doesn't really count, and I didn't break all the way anyway.

[freedomfighterhammer]

See? That’s what I mean…!

[roundandaround]

Uuu... But I swear other than that it's fine!

[freedomfighterhammer]

No, no, it is fine! You are perfect…

So perfect I might just come over and tease you some~!

[roundandaround]

[Tea kettle noise.]

Love you too but maybe not here, everyone's home, maybe someplace else!

[It's hard when your house is full of kids. And companion critters who are basically kids.]

[freedomfighterhammer]

Ah.

Um.

I think we can do my home. L-Later! When everyone’s asleep!

[roundandaround]

Okay! Sorry! Let me know!

[How does Evangeline do this?]

[freedomfighterhammer]

O-Okay!

Love you!

[Good question!]
