Something has happened to the CPU! Security measures seem to have gone absolutely wonky, making everyone’s conversations:

◘ Private messages may become public messages
◘ Unanonymous when they’re trying to post anonymously
◘ Undeletable
◘ Misfired

Will it cause technological and privacy chaos? Yes, absolutely. Have fun with that.

Keep in mind that there is only one requirement for participation in this event: You must tag at least one person you do not currently have CR with a misfire.

Otherwise, whatever drama or crack you want to cause with this one, go for it. The CPU will feel better on Saturday, so this is a quick two-day event and will be done in this single log post (here!) so it’s easy to post misfires all in one place but as always, you are welcome to make your own posts as well.

To opt out: There was a power surge when this technology fluke happened, so your device is now refusing to turn on. It may need repairs or replacement.

[ He'll keep this sweet and short.. ]

There are chocobos here?

[The bright white wings usually associated with angels fit the golden Wizard well. Gellert is looking subdued, however, sitting on a tree branch with his bare legs swinging lazily. He also isn't wearing a shirt, but there is a golden chain - complete with a cross pendant - around his neck.]

What do you think of love? Is it real or do you think it is a fanciful notion created by the very lonely?

[He used to be of the latter group, but now...]

Also, if you are demonic, stay away from me.

[Yeah, Hector looks pretty annoyed. And...also very wet. His hair is plastered to his skull and his vest is completely gone. The red tie is still there, but also dripping wet.]

Okay, okay, okay. Look, whatever this Halloween that is coming up is, I get it has to do with scary things.

But! I am already a skeleton, si? So, why do I need to be 'scary'? Enough people have screamed to prove that.

[He gives a little grunt and hefts himself out of what appears to be a river, a bony fish tail coming into view as he settles on the bank. There are beautiful, colorful marks all along the fin. Spirals of bright green lined with petal like shapes of gold and purple.

At his waist are a pair of extra fins, just as skeletal but the bones are a completely purple.]

Can someone explain? Por favor?

( Action; )

--

Voice to Video;

[normally, Cloud would filter his messages to those he specifically wanted to reach out to. between wanting to see if Fenrir was still here, if he even had an apartment to go back to, a job, the pathway to the Church... he didn't even know who was here still or not, or who would remember him. the easiest answer would be that he left while everyone else stayed. but there was only one way to find out,]

Hey.

[great start, Cloud. he pinches the bridge of his nose and under his breath,]

I'm fired, aren't I.

[starting over, the voice switches to video as the camera catches a head of spiky hair and bright blue eyes.]

What did I miss?

[Prompto doesn't make very many video posts because they make him excessively nervous but here he is, on screen with a bit of a grimace.]

I'm b-back to normal.

[He waves a little.]

Um, th-thanks to everyone who...looked after me. [He glances away.]

Can w-we just forget that happened?

[He waves goodbye.]

( Action under the cut!!  )

[Network Video Post]

[He isn't intending on speaking on the network, he's seen it, but this is before he's into social media and the internet, his phone is much more advanced then the one he usually had which is confusing.

So instead there is a shy, chubby child with wide glasses looking at the network with wonder. His eyes widen when he realizes that he's recording, this will be seen.

He waves shyly.]

( Cut for action prompts! )

[Video]

[The camera flips on, and there's the sight of a man with what looks to be blue eyes and black spiky hair, an almost x shaped scar on his left cheek. If you got a good enough glimpse, you might even notice that the man's eyes have a slight green glow to them, but you'd have to be very observant to notice right now.

Suddenly, the man looks at the camera in what seems to be very slight alarm.]

Dammit! Gotta turn this thing off!

[It takes just a little playing with it before the video suddenly ends. Yup! That was all!]


[Action]

[Anyone near the Bay might see a man with a giant sword and spiky hair outside it, and he seems to be moving away from the Bay. He's trying not to bring attention to himself, but this wasn't exactly the middle of nowhere. This was a city, and that made that difficult. Even more, after how he'd woken up, he had to find Cloud. He had to make sure he was okay. He didn't even understand how he was here right now. He'd fought. He knew he was unlikely to survive it, and he'd been on the ground when they shot him and he remembered being left for dead riddled with bullets. He'd been bleeding out. He'd been dying. He'd given Cloud the buster sword....and yet here he was with it. He knew that everything had gone black and he knew he'd felt the lifestream taking him, so then how was he here. How was he alive? What had happened?

At least he wasn't outwardly panicking, just inwardly. He was so lost as to what was going on. Had Shinra done something, had Hojo caught him again, or had something else happened?]
