[MOD POST] Network Unlocked!

[vrdr_mods]

It's in the wee hours of the morning that all residents of the Velvet Room receive a message on their phones.

Good morning.

In the interest of strengthening community bonds and preventing further vandalism on what was intended as a community board, I have elected to expand the capabilities of your communications within this realm.

Every device with network capabilities may now access a specialized social network designed for your convenience.

I have been told there is a similar application in reality, but for our purposes, you may call it Flutter.

Fortunately, it is closer to what you may consider a forum or a blogging apparatus. A limited character count would undoubtedly provoke misunderstandings. Someone could state that they enjoy pancakes, and others may assume they despise waffles.

Please do enjoy, and best of luck on your endeavors,

Igor

P.S. While vandalism is not strictly illegal within this realm, it is important to remember that there are children present. Use your abilities wisely.

[Any attempts to respond to this post will be redirected to a Flutter post. Feel free to threadjack and gossip amongst one another. Perhaps you'll even get a reply if you're lucky...]

[ooc: Congratulations! You have unlocked a network. Its functions are about on par with most networks in DWRP. You can do text posts, audio posts, insert videos if the device has a camera (e.g. phones or a computer with a webcam).

The difference between network posts and IC inboxes is primarily that network posts are accessible to any character. When posting, you can clarify a post is network via post prompt or in the post title. Posts can include action and network prompts as well!]

I suppose I may be contractually obligated to volunteer to moderate this 'social media'.

I no longer qualify as an Attendant, but in this matter at least the aid I can render to my siblings should be well within my power.

Strictly speaking, one might argue that I no longer count as well, yet here I am!

I believe your aid would be preferable to our first volunteer. While I believe the hue of our hair suits us rather well, I don't believe Crow's loved ones would appreciate it if he went grey at such an early age.

I'm afraid his tendency to take on more than he can healthily handle may, in fact, be a multiversal constant. Goro would not be Goro, otherwise.

Jokes aside... it is good to hear from you, Elizabeth. I'm still personally coming to terms with the notion of divergent worlds and the idea that this Velvet Room may not be the same as the one I am familiar with- but yours is a face I have dearly missed, regardless.

I hope you are well.

Perhaps that's a factor in my arrival here! A fair few people from Iwatodai have shown up of late, which when combined with your feelings was really all my master needed.

Theodore is here as well, and it wouldn't surprise me if Margaret followed suit. You could say the demand for friendly and more forthcoming faces was an additional factor, especially in light of recent incidents.

But I assure you the feeling is mutual. Nonetheless, I can't imagine how exhausting it must be to have Goro Akechi as a guest! And there are so many of them...

I've yet to decide which one of them is my favorite. I believe the one that can make me laugh will be a top contender.

Unbelievably exhausting. I've never met someone with greater potential for self-sabotage.

But I understand, now, why you left. Not in the same way, but... his perseverance inspires me.

The cost for leaving was high, but I have no regrets.
