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.

Surely not. All hearts are different from the rest, but mine's no stronger than yours.

[roundandaround]

Huh... then is it a meditation thing? I don't get it.

[happydreamed]

Perhaps... I do find that I sometimes remember my dreams fairly clearly, and sometimes they're gone as soon as I wake up.

[roundandaround]

I was gonna say maybe it's because you and Saya-chan are the closest, but I thought usually this was between people who are really close. And also I don't know what happened in mine at all. Uh... I got a feeling Frieda-chan was sad again, and that Neechan likes huge buff demons, but I already know those things? Oh! And Fluffy Sonic-kun doesn't like cages! I have no idea where that came from!

[happydreamed]

Perhaps you ought to ask one of them what it was like, and if they need any comfort for it?

[roundandaround]

Okay! I'll try and figure out who all was in and do that. Has this happened to you before? Aside from being in other people's? The closest I've had to people being in my head was the cursed book, and I saw everything in that.

[happydreamed]

There was something else in Ellipsa some time ago, with seeing other people's memories, that was similar? But not quite the same.

[roundandaround]

Yeah, that meadow! Oh! And the thing at the Mecha Hangar when that experiment went wrong! That was kinda fun, except for the monster part, and even then some of the monsters were nice.

[happydreamed]

I don't recall any nice monsters, but it has been some time. Perhaps I've forgotten them.

[roundandaround]

There was one that was like a scribble and really wanted to share their song! They were so cute! Oh, wait, but apparently everyone else who talked to them took damage, I guess that's pretty bad...

[happydreamed]

Ah. Yes, I would say that would be one to avoid, even if they meant well.

[roundandaround]

I also noticed there were a bunch of mosquitoes, that was weird. Though I guess they're sort of like monsters.

[happydreamed]

Mosquitoes are absolutely monsters. They carry disease.

[roundandaround]

That's true... At least we have repellent and stuff for those. And I dunno if anyone here really needs malaria nets? Nobody has them, anyway.

[happydreamed]

They don't seem to regularly be a problem here outside of that incident...

[roundandaround]

That's good. At least there's no monster diseases we've gotten, unless curses and stuff like turning to stone count.

[happydreamed]

There was the one where you froze without cuddles, that was quite unpleasant...

[roundandaround]

Yeah, that was weird! I was kinda worried about you guys. Did that come from a monster? I guess it could have, you never know.

[happydreamed]

I believe 'twas brought by the weather? But I don't remember clearly, since 'twas some time ago.
