Fifth Curse

[Video]

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...))

And why exactly were you forced to learn how to program?

[bondsofsuffering]

In that case, I suppose you never paid much attention to them.

[bondsofsuffering]

I think you're probably safe, considering you didn't even nominate anyone for those categories.

...Or did you actually have people in mind?

[tyrantball]

"Why would Desco need to? The conquest of human worlds is a foregone conclusion, for no human can stop the relentless onslaught of the Final Boss~!"

[otakuro]

[It is too late it seems Atsuro has already cast Smokescreen and fled. He will be absolving himself of all responsibility in his corner.]

[bondsofsuffering]

And that's why you're so ignorant. At this point you sound less like the Final Boss and more like the Penultimate Boss.

--Or maybe, the Final Boss before the cut scene with the true mastermind.

[bondsofsuffering]

[Wow, coward!!]

[tyrantball]

Eyes narrowed, Desco levels an imperious claw at the camera feed.

"You FOOL! The Final Boss shall not tolerate your base slander!"

Annnnd time for a coughing fit, because she hasn't done Final Boss Voice in months and is even worse at it than usual.

[Joshua looks up sharply and blurts out an unintelligible phrase before he can help himself.]

6╜█(*iLb▄E╦(░**Ñßâ⌐*╢??

[He catches himself, pressing his hand gently over his mouth as he clears his throat. His expression becomes a little more grave...]

How did you... know what I am? [Joshua takes a moment, then touches his collar, looking entirely unhappy.] Who told you?

[leadthebeats]

The afterlife is run by a program.

[bondsofsuffering]

[Bingo.]

Someone I know mentioned it. People goin' around with collars like yours- [He even gestures at his own neck, here.] -are clones.

So it's true?

[bondsofsuffering]

Hey, are you okay over there?

[He doesn't even look slightly awed by that particular display.]

audio;

[bondsofsuffering]

...Seriously?

[tyrantball]

And now she's pouting.

"...Final Boss Voice hurts Desco's throat."

audio;

[leadthebeats]

I'm completely serious.

[bondsofsuffering]

There, there. I'm sure you can do it!

[It's like he's talking to a little kid.]

[hetried]

"Mature" could probably apply to all sorts of girls! Some look really nice and way older for their age! Though I'm not sure if it's different enough from "Elegant" to have its on...

...Guys in yukatas? Seriously?

[wee woo wee woo suddenly kind of awkward]

audio;

[bondsofsuffering]

Your afterlife sounds like a fascinating place.

[bondsofsuffering]

Well, there's people who would vote that way, at least. But since people can choose which categories to vote in, I don't think it would do too much harm.

[tyrantball]

She is a little kid.

"Of course Desco can do it! She's the Final Boss!"

[bondsofsuffering]

Right, right.

[Whatever you say, kiddo!]

audio;

[leadthebeats]

It is. Though I moved on.

audio;

[bondsofsuffering]

...You did?

[You sound awfully... not... moved on for that being the case, Yuri.]

Re: audio;

[leadthebeats]

[ She is telling the truth though. Sure, it hurts every now and again, but she knows her siblings wouldn't want her to worry about them. ]

I managed to disappear. That's more than proof enough.

audio;

[bondsofsuffering]

You disappeared.

...But there was still enough of you to bring back to here?
