ellipsanet | 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.

Ducks!! I'm going to save all these pictures and look at them whenever I get sad, thank you.

You're welcome!

[He didn't mean for this to go Evangeline BUT that is aokay! Because it will make her happy and that is worth it.]

I am doing the same. Might make a poster out of one of them. The little one running after his mom. That ons is adorable.

You could totally make a motivational poster out of that. Not sure what it would say though.

Hmm. Something to do with chasing love? Or something. No idea.

Back home I have people for the PR messaging.

Oh, yeah, I guess that's not really a boss kind of job. Someone tried to put motivational posters up in my facility once? They got defaced pretty quickly.

I mean, given your employers, that doesn't surprise me. At all. Did you deface any?

I drew X's over the eyes of some of the people in the posters, but that's about all I did. Other people were more creative.

What was your favorite?

There was a cat poster that said 'hang in there!' and someone wrote 'we have no other option, morons' on it. Simple but effective.

Now that's poetry.

I did know a guy who was writing actual poetry about it. Said it helped him feel like there was some kind of meaning to it all. I don't have any memorized unfortunately.

If it would make you happy, you could use a wishing flower to get it from home.

I wasn't close with him or anything - not with most of my coworkers - so I feel like I could think of something better to get with that.
