'Szelhamos'

[Oh look, someone is actually on the screen this time. Treasure it, he usually adores his voice function. Why bother with video when you can't see?

In any case, here he is, the phone clearly propped up, because he's obviously holding an entirely different phone in his hands. Midge is nowhere to be seen. Maybe he's behind the actually filming phone.
]

There's been some discussion on the network about a new scourge sweeping our tightly knit, familial little community. Now, I don't mean to scare anyone-

[And he does, actually, look dreadfully sincere. His expression is almost sweetly concerned, though the effect is marred somewhat by the sunglasses. Can't really pull off wide eyed concern with no eyes.]

But I'm just going to have to be frank with you, please, those with weak constitutions may want to leave the room.

... I'm sorry, Genessia... But I have heard... that people are being mean on the internet.

[There's a sharp violin sting behind the camera filming. Ah, that's where Midge went.]

I know, I know. I can't believe it either. People, being mean! To other people! Anonymously!

It's certainly something I never fathomed would happen, we're all such lovely people here. Not to worry though. I am here to give a brief lesson on what to do if someone on the internet is mean to you.

[Yeah. There's another violin sting. Szel gestures to the phone in his hand, not exactly the one from the city, but close enough in design.]

Please, pay attention. This is all highly technical, complicated jargon I'm about to start using. It's language primarily used by us experts in the technological and social media arts.

Now. Midge, I need you to pretend you are a mean person on the internet.

[The violin sting sounds dutifully, before a soft, lisping, mincing and demure voice sweetly croons out from off screen, behind the phone.]

I do not care for your glasses, for I am a low brow and simple cretin.

[The demon smiles, gesturing to the phone in his hand]

That is our insult of the hour. Now, while I could very well sit here and yell at the mean person on the internet-

[VIOLIN STING]

For the next half hour, it is highly encouraged for all those without specialized training to do the following. If you would kindly pay attention, please take note of the button, here, at the bottom of the phone.

Now, I have found that if you press this button-

[Which he does, and the screen on the phone in his hand promptly goes black as the device shuts off]

It effortlessly silences any and all instances of mean people on the internet-

[VIOLIN STING]

wherein you are free to go outside and make yourself familiar with the grass.

I believe that should cover todays PSA of mean people on the internet.

[VIOLIN STING]

Thank you.

And stay safe.

hey.

anyone know where i can find a decent laundromat.

i'd look it up but... i don't wanna.

[Yeah that's as in depth as this post gets. As far as Sans goes, the skeleton is actually outside for goddamn once. Maybe it's because it's just starting to get cool enough to actually wear that stupid filthy hoodie.

The state of the thing really sort of indicates why he'd be in such dire need of a washing machine, it almost looks like its the only actual outfit he owns.

To his credit, he's even lazily dragging along a detergent container that might be half the size he is in a small red wagon.

No, we're prepared today, as you can see. Gonna definitely clean something

[It's been some time since Pizzazz had landed a talent agency to represent her, and while she worked with various other bands and musicians, she quickly earned her reputation of being picky, brutally honest, and mostly hellish to work with. But that's nothing new. What is new is a particular message she posted on a social network site, Chirp, where she explains how awful Cassian is:



So now she's giving an explanation of what's wrong via video.]


Let me set the record straight: this guy is not worth the crud from the bottom of my boots.

[Now everyone can see why she's brutally honest...]

When someone says "leave me alone" and tries to walk away from the situation, maybe you should let them go. I've told my agency about him, and they're considering filing a lawsuit for harassment.

[Switches arms because holding up a camera still in one spot is difficult.]

For once, I wasn't even trying to start trouble. That's what I get. [She shrugs and waves a hand dismissively, clearly just agitated thinking about the mess.] Well, forget it! I'm not putting up with creeps like him on the first try! No wonder his boyfriend is handmade.

[Not good for his reputation with her. Now the camera comes in to get a view of her colorful head while she crosses her arms.]

Anyway, I'm looking for people to start a band with. Anyone who thinks they have the skills can contact me. But be warned, this is serious business, and the band comes first. If you've got a young family to look after, don't bother. I'm also a lead singer, so don't come thinking you're gonna shine that way.

[The video ends on that note.]
