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.

[ Look you have an audience in Hermes as he watches the video because aren't caterpillars cute? Look at them dance! ]

As entrancing as that was, I believe you have the wrong contact.

Huh. Indeed I have. Strange, I know I sent it to someone else and I don't recognize this username. A glitch?

[Ping! A video? Looks like it's of the caterpillars again.]

I. Am. So. Rry. For. This. Mis. Take.

[Koro speaks slowly and paused on each syllable, and the caterpillars flick their heads with each syllable spoken.]

Perhaps - I don't recognize your username either. I will admit that the video was charming and lifted my spirits. I suppose it was a happy accident so to speak.

[ He looks at his device in surprise as another video arrives.

Ok, the caterpillars doing what seems to be bows with every syllable is definitely cute. Hermes doesn't mind caterpillars - after all they become some of his favorite creatures eventually. ]

While not necessary when it's through a simple mistake or glitch, I accept the apology from your friends.

[ He's learning to joke gods help us. ]

hehe (⁠◍⁠•⁠ᴗ⁠•⁠◍⁠)⁠❤

I think I'll stop it at that,though. As cute as it seems, it's a defense mechanism for these guys. Don't want to keep stressing them for too long.

Lifted your spirits, huh? Were you feeling down?
