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...))

Right, right. Besides that, it doesn't look like the network is working properly, so even if we tried to vote soon it might not even go through.

...Yours, too?

I thought it was just my COMP running slow. ...Maybe there's too much traffic with the newcomers or something. Need some new servers.

...Actually, it seems to be more than just that.

I mentioned that this post was directed to the men of Hinoto-Ri, but it looks like my filter's down. It doesn't really matter now, but even when I went back and tried to change the post properties, it just won't work.

The filter's d --

You mean everyone in town is seeing what we're saying to each other

[Clearly this is the important bit.]

[bondsofsuffering]

Seems that way!

[Despite this, he doesn't appear to be all that bothered.]

...

And, uh, obviously, they recognize that this was an elaborate ploy to, um, give secret compliments to the people we appreciate and admire most.

Hey look at the time I've gotta go

[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?

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