Fifth Curse

So, has anyone else noticed that the network's been performing slowly lately? Unless it's something wrong with my COMP...

It's a little irritating, to be honest. I've run a few scans, but my antivirus isn't catching anything. Anybody happen to know someone good for checking out these things? There shouldn't be any files on here that would cause it to go so slowly all of the sudden.

[With a light shrug, he ends the feed there...]

[Video; FAIL!Filtered to men]

[...Only to start up another "filtered" one.]



So now that Tanabata's over with...

Men of Hinoto-Ri! I invite you to gather around and begin nominations for "cutest in a yukata." Nominations can be whoever you want, but... well, this is filtered to the men only, so it might be a little awkward if you aren't careful! Of course, anonymous nominations are possible as well if you want to take that route!

Voting starts in 24 hours, so get your nominations in before that!

((OOC: Yes, anyone can see the filtered portion. And anonymous posts are welcome, so you can simply indicate such in the subject line! Of course, assuming the virus hasn't killed your character's ability to filter/anon or anything...))

That's a pretty safe, standard answer to give.

Categories might be a good idea, though! Let's see, we already have cute, so...

[...Hhhhuh. Interesting.]

Only if it's within 24 hours! Any later than that and nominations will be closed!

If it had been anything other than 'cutest', Desco wouldn't have cared. But it is, and so she does, and now there is a little girl with horns on the camera feed.

"Desco is always the cutest, no matter what!"

Slight pause.

"But she's never worn a yukata, though. So buy her one and she will prove it!"

Speaking as someone with a female roommate with pride in her appearance, I'd like to say that Zoe Gallais is the cutest in a yukata.

[Speak of the devil and she shall appear- I mean.]

Oh, thank you very much, Judas~.

[Video]

[silvercoins]

You're welcome. I hope you win.

[Video]

[papillonmagique]

Thank you. But we shall see, since there are a lot of other pretty girls here.

[Video]

[silvercoins]

I guess that's true.

[Video]

[papillonmagique]

But still, this is a pleasant surprise. I will need to thank you for it later.

[Video]

[silvercoins]

No thanks are necessary.

[papillonmagique]

Then can I ask why you did this? It does not seem like something you would be interested in.

[otakuro]

Right. That seems like the fairest way to go about it.

There are different facets of yukata-wearing, after all...! If we're going to do something like this, it should be well designed.

[bondsofsuffering]

So we already have "cutest", "sexiest", and "most attractive"... any others we should add?

[bondsofsuffering]

[It's always interesting to see this girl (creature?) show up on the network, but his answer remains...]

No.

[Video]

[bondsofsuffering]

Got any picture evidence for us?

[tyrantball]

HMMPH.

"Well, don't blame Desco when you can't find the cutest one! Because there is NOTHING cuter than Desco!"

[bondsofsuffering]

I don't really care if you want to volunteer yourself, but you're on your own for getting a yukata. I just don't make enough money to buy everyone outfits like that!

[tyrantball]

"What could be more important than spending money on Desco?"

She is genuinely curious.

[otakuro]

Hey, this was your idea in the first place. I can't come up with all of the ideas for you.

...How about 'most elegant'? Like, uh... traditionally 'Yamato Nadeshiko'.

[When Joshua's response comes through, something is going terribly wrong with the his COMP's translator. Some of the words that come through are intelligible, while the rest sounds like some extremely foreign, completely alien language.

Stranger still, the speaker's lip movements match the foreign language, but seem out of sync with the words that come through clearly...]

I haven't noticed £ weird about ŽŸ‚ɁA my ðÚ¹Ä¨«Ü??

[His brow is furrowed and... he honestly doesn't seem to notice that there's a problem.]

Perhaps ‰¼–¼ æ–‡å— virus on your 化け??

[lighter_flick]

Not really? I guess it's a matter of perspective, though.

[deathboss]

[You just get a laugh from him as he imaginary swats you off.]

Hey it didn't say you had to want to date 'em either! Just who looks cutest.

[lighter_flick]

[That's...true, and he at least looks like he's attempting to think about it.]

Uh...Miyabi looked nice? I only really remember her, though.

[...Was he not paying attention, or...?]

1/2

[deathboss]

Good, good! That's the only correct answer, but remember, she's with me! Sorry, Ta-chaaaaaaaan...

2/2 Private? Maybe?

[deathboss]

Now what about Jun or Maya in a Yukata?
