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.

That's because this text wasn't meant for you. Strange, I know I sent this to someone else. How did it get to you??

Well regardless, I'm happy to let you know that coconut oil is a common and popular choice, and is a base for my other oils, but can be used on its own. It encourages relaxation and hydrates and nourishes the skin.

Pine oil also exists. It's used to help stimulate blood flow and fight inflammation.

Perhaps you mistyped the number? Unless the network is glitching again.

That is interesting, though, I did not realise anyone else paid that much attention to different scents like that... But, um, a popular choice for what?

[Rider trended toward recognising people by their scent first- a necessity, given she'd not been able to use her eyes the first year or so she had been in Ellipsa.]

I'm glad you asked! (⁠ ⁠╹⁠▽⁠╹⁠ ⁠)

A popular choice for massage oil. I'm asking about scents because this is meant for my client, whom I will be massaging today. I think. He has not yet confirmed the appointment.

I'm a masseur. Or a massage therapist if you prefer the more professional term.

[A little smily face? How did he do that-]

Oh, interesting. I have had a couple of spa treatments and received some massage oils as a gift before, but I admit it is not an area I am familiar with.

I suppose it makes this world's requirement for physical contact a little easier to manage?

[You don't know half of it, Rider.]
