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.

[It's certainly not "all that matters"!]

How can you let it go so easily now?

[It's hard to believe, given Hero society's sudden and new distrust of the boy. A brother of Dabi's can't play Hero, right? It's still his fault; his own cursed blood an indelible stain on what good legacy's left. Not because Endeavor was cruel, but knowing the man creates Villains. Best the whole family rots in the filth. He's used to blame; and if civilians revoked their trust, it's Katsuki's right to blame him too. He doesn't say, because Katsuki's a wall, and he isn't as keen to knowingly waste his own breath. And who's more stubborn between the two?]

I'd thought you of all people would foster a grudge.

[They're not unalike.]

You're always surprising me these days.

[To be fair to Shoto, and his worries about being ostracized for his family as society had done-- Katsuki hasn't gotten that far in his own timeline, yet. He's fresh off the battlefield, so anything that happened afterwards is a complete mystery to him. Though, he'd disagree with the public even if he was that far down his own timeline. Because...]

I DO hold a grudge. I hate every single fucking person who tried to ruin everything for us. Your brother is no exception. I don't feel anything for him besides anger and resentment.

But you're NOT him, Todoroki. [a pause, as he decides not to use his last name for this point he's making.] You're Shoto.

And you're not your family's sins. Whatever he did shouldn't have to reflect on you. You shouldn't be taking the blame. It's pointless for you to when HE'S the one that should be apologizing. Not you.

[Katsuki doesn't believe in punishing Shoto for what his family had done. He's one of the nicest people he knows, who wouldn't hurt someone like that on his own... it bothers him that this is something Shoto feels the need to apologize for.]

Plus, the only thing your brother really did to me personally was help with all that summer camp bullshit. And you were one of the ones who saved me despite knowing it was a bad idea.

So you made it up to me already. A long time ago.
