ellipsanet | Mini Event: Weekend of Misfires

Somewhere in the Research Center...

"Meowr?!"

"AAAAAHHH!! Oh no! Buttercup you can't just drop my coffee onto the server! Bad kitty! Bad! -- Ohh, Helene is going to be so pissed off once she hears... better start fixing this. Buttercup, this is the last time I bring you to work!"

"Mreow..."

"... you're right, it's not. But I'm still annoyed at you, you little cutie troublemaker."

Note: The above is not something anyone would be aware of, just a "how did this happen"

Welcome to a Mini Event which is basically: network server has been damaged, 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 once they finally manage to fix the mistake.

Remember to put warnings up if you want to post anything NSFW-ish and especially link pictures; however if it evolves into "sexting", remember to move it to another post.

[Does he overthink like Shoto...?]

Oh. No, I shouldn't have asked.

[Not a stranger. Not this much.] I'm sure it complicates what you're talking about.

No, it's all right. Families can be difficult even when there's no animosity involved.

[It couldn't possibly be more true.]

That's kind of surprising to hear from someone else. You probably didn't mean to text, I'd guess.

No, sorry. I thought I had this phone stuff figured out, but it looks like I still have things to learn.

[Who did they mean to text? He doesn't ask, though he wonders.]

You get the hang of it. Eventually...

[But since they're here?]

My name is Shoto. Todoroki.

Reiner Braun. It's nice to meet you, so to speak.

[Reiner Braun. He keeps the name. He wasn't meant to see his text, and still he's curious, texting back, a part of him stumbling where he answers (twice). But, clumsy conversationalist, he says the only thing he can think to say.]

Then it's fine if you text again sometimes.

[The next spins loneliness into "logic".]

It might be good to have more allies here.

[Fumbling to make connections, still...]

[ That hits Reiner on two levels. The first follows a similar line of logic: it would indeed be good to have more allies here, especially since Reiner is mainly surrounded by enemies. The second speaks to his own loneliness, the sense of isolation that sinks into him no matter how gregarious his nature. ]

Yeah, I agree. It's tough starting fresh in a whole new world, huh?

Yeah.

[About that—]

I don't know what you'll believe, but I've been borrowed from my world before. And no one asked us beforehand, either. They'd only said they needed our help; how much our magics were the key to that. So it's not much different at all, in my case. It's just as dangerous here as Avalon was.

[But-] Even so, I don't mind fighting this time.

[He wants to be a proper Hero; see,]

That's why I don't mind it, working together like this.

[And, well, there's too much world for him to save himself. He has to try; he's reaching out.] It's not just me who's starting all over again.

I believe you. That hasn't happened to me, personally. However, there are a few people from my world who were in other worlds before this. One of them is honest to a fault; I trust what he's experienced.

I wonder how many other worlds are plucking people from theirs because they need help? I know the magic that brought us to this one didn't let them ask, but I've gotta admit, a choice would've been nice.

Still, we're here now, right? Like you, I don't mind fighting for this place now that I'm here.

[ If it gets Reiner closer to his hometown, he'll do whatever it takes. ]

Starting over again isn't as daunting when you know you're not the only one doing it.
