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.

[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...))

This isn't the type of thing for a contest!

Everyone looks nice in a yukata anyway.

[Jiiii.]

That's an awfully safe response to give.

Ah. But it's true. Besides, won't this encourage people to snap invasive pictures?

Actually, it seems like no one even thought to take pictures so far. You'd think they'd take a few at least to commemorate, but we have a surprisingly clean group here.

Really? I thought for sure it would go down that road immediately... but "voting" isn't over yet. You're not going to really post up a winner, are you?

At this point, it's looking like we're going to have multiple categories of winners.

I still don't know about this... Why not open it up to everyone? It might feel less objectifying if it were for guys and girls.

About that...

I already decided to add a guys' version for one of the others who replied. Somehow, a contest started on a whim has gotten pretty extensive...
