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.

I'm not going back to that restaurant so I won't, dumbass.

I hope if you go there they take off the mayo instead of putting extra in.

No one would do such a thing. But if they did, I'd just use my own!

[He still wouldn't go back there afterwards, though... and he'd make a scene.]

[rustyhonesty]

After getting banned from the restaurant because you made such a huge scene you traumatized the customers forever.

[mayoninofukucho]

Such piss-poor customer service calls for consequences!! Which brings me back to how you should take me along. If you never go back AND don't make a scene, how will they learn?

[rustyhonesty]

Because it wasn't such a big deal? He just hated my face for some reason, that's that.

[mayoninofukucho]

You let yourself be bullied way too easily.

[He may get bullied back home, too, but at least he fights back with all he has!!]

[rustyhonesty]

[Ouch. Thanks Hijikata.]

It's easier to just take it sometimes, I've noticed. I do fight back when I feel it's necessary.

[mayoninofukucho]

Fair enough.
