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 not a bad idea. How hard could it be? I'll need eggs and whatever "nog" is made from.

Spices, right? Nutmeg and stuff. Do you have one of those spice racks from the store that refills itself?

[hometown]

Yeah, I picked one up recently. It should have everything I need.

[ And some extra "spice." Whoops! ]

That's great! I should try that too! I've been learning a lot more about making food since Mary-chan moved in. We can't have convenience store food all the time.

You know, if you ever want lessons, I'm not a bad cook. Most of the others from my world are pretty good, too. We all took turns cooking during training.

Wow, really? Thanks! That'd help me out a lot. Maybe it wouldn't take so many tries to do something new... I made fried chicken for everyone at Yuletide, but the first few times I tried it just made a mess of the kitchen and we had to get pizza.

Making a mess of the kitchen while learning to cook is pretty normal.

Huh... I guess so. This was pretty bad, though. But at least I managed it maybe the third try!
