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...))

"...these are the weirdest voters Desco has ever seen."

[bondsofsuffering]

Well, when you come to a new world, it can't be helped if some things are different, right?

[tyrantball]

Desco sulks a little, puffing her cheeks out.

"Well, it's not anything like any of the other worlds Desco has been to."

[bondsofsuffering]

Ooooh? What were those worlds like?

[tyrantball]

"Well, Hades is where sinful humans go when they die! Then they become Prinnies and spend years and years being derided and abused while they work to pay off their sins and reincarnate! Desco liked it there. She used to play in the lava pools! And Desco is also a teacher at Evil Academy, a school that is also an entire Netherworld! That's where Desco met Princess Sapphire, and her husband, and Dean Mao, too! Dean Mao even ended up creating Desco's little sisters, the Mass Production Units, out of his burning pathos!"

[bondsofsuffering]

That's an awful lot of traveling. Is it common to go from world to world like that where you're from?

[tyrantball]

Desco blinks in a series of twitches cascading down her body.

"Of course! There are countless Netherworlds in this pluralistic universe!"

Desco's expression takes on a look of devilish glee.

"And one day Desco will conquer them ALL in the name of Big Sis!"

[bondsofsuffering]

[...Well then.]

What about non-Netherworlds? Ones with humans and cities like this one.

[tyrantball]

Blink blink.

"Desco thought that their inclusion in her dreams of conquest was assumed."

[bondsofsuffering]

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

[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~!"

[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.

[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.

[bondsofsuffering]

Hey, are you okay over there?

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

[tyrantball]

And now she's pouting.

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

[bondsofsuffering]

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

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

[tyrantball]

She is a little kid.

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

[bondsofsuffering]

Right, right.

[Whatever you say, kiddo!]
