frillnet bulletin: WE BACK

[my_name_is_frill]

⭐ Who: Frill and FrillNet!
⭐ When: Start of June
⭐ Where: On the FrillNet boards.
⭐ What: After a long hiatus during May, Frill is back!

[ Following her bulletin at the start of May, Frill suddenly disappeared, leaving the board in general chaos until "Dreamer Arbiter" stepped in to take up the reins of mod. (Grumblings about "authoritarianism" and "fun-hating" are entirely unsubstantiated. Probably.)

But at the start of June... ]

we back?

WE BACK ☆*: .｡. o(≧▽≦)o .｡.:*☆

hey everyone my parents decided to dick around with the wifi here in demonstrably the Middle of Fucking Nowhere annnnnnd i got locked out of the internet for the duration. IT FELT LIKE YEARRRRSSSSSS ಠ╭╮ಠ

passed all my midterms and was assigned a mentor by the DU against my will. even worse is the part where i do not hate the guy even though my life would be a lot easier if i did.

spend the month going insane all by yourself?

[ that's ryoko's asshole way of checking if she's okay ]

[my_name_is_frill]

ahem.

*points* tsundere.

anyways, yeah... tbh i'm one bad day away from playing out some cliches from an overrated western comic ≡(▔﹏▔)≡

but i stay silly! :3

[mnemon]

"wow frill we're so glad to have to back it just wasn't the same without you" i lie through gritted teeth

[ she's just mad because it's ACCURATE ]

if it makes you feel better you didn't miss a whole lot. i don't think anyone even took you up on the bounty which is insane.

[my_name_is_frill]

WHAT.

noooooo the thought of seeing marketable du-branded idols getting pied in the face is what kept me going OTL

heyyyyyyy ryoko can you get me a coming-back present of getting me that footage. (or not present i can negotiate.) it can be a bonding activity with your new buddy as long as he's not a total stick in the mud!

[mnemon]

hm. i can consider it.

[ well that was quick. maybe she really was worrie– ]

but it'll cost you.

[ never fuckin mind ]

[my_name_is_frill]

i'll give you special permissions to change the forum signature of everyone on the site except me and gary-chan, one time only, and it'll be locked for a week

[ Maybe there were some pluses to Arbiter's ruthless modding after all. ]

[mnemon]

pleasure doing business with you. [ Ryoko Shinonome Can Be Bought ] do i get additional tiers of rewards the more victims i have under my belt?

[my_name_is_frill]

We'll negotiate further once you get me the goods, agent. (⌐■_■)

[mnemon]

understood, boss.

[ a pause. ]

(⌐■_■)

[ congrats to frill for being the only person on planet earth who could get her to pull this shit ]

One can detest the role another plays and hold no ill will towards the actor.
My condolences to you for the Union's meddling.

[ just think, ryoko. a full month of this bitch not inserting herself into conversations everywhere. how blissful was that? ]

[mnemon]

[ HOW DID SHE FORGET HOW ANNOYING HER WRITING WAS......... ]

it could be worse i guess. he's basically my age so it feels less like i have an annoying teacher babysitting me. i'd definitely rather have that than some union crony in his 30s giving me youth pastor energy.

[ you can tell she's hanging out with the american kids too much because where in the hell did she pick up a phrase like 'youth pastor'?? ]

[my_name_is_frill]

hold on i gotta google something

[ Literally not even a second later: ]

lmao westaboo

[mnemon]

I'M HEARING THIS FROM MISS "IF IT SUCKS HIT DA BRICKS"????

[my_name_is_frill]

see i spend literally all my time on the internet so i can't escape american memes. it's tumblr syndrome

you meanwhile are a nominally well-adjusted teen with a social life who gets to go to school (*^_^*) so that means if you're that terminally online it's actually a reflection of your character being a huge fucking westaboo

[mnemon]

there's no way anybody who posts on here as often as i do is a well adjusted teen with a social life

[ the rare self own ]

[illrested]

i haven't gone out hunting or anything

it's scary (ｼ;ﾟДﾟ)ｼ

[my_name_is_frill]

better news: the bounty was referring to the videos of du officials getting pied in the face, so no worries!

question tho (。_。)

if you're scared of going out to hunt torments, are you really cut out to be a dreamer?

[illrested]

screw you

[illrested]

i'm doing my best i thought this place was supposed to be supportive.

[my_name_is_frill]

it's a legitimate question you should consider! look i'm trying to be serious here so i'll stop with the kaomoji bit

a lot of people think the dream sphere is just someplace where they can mess around and live out their wildest fantasies but it really is dangerous here

putting it kindly as i can: if you have that much doubt in yourself you should sit down and figure out why exactly you're putting yourself out there to be a dreamer

[illrested]

i don't think it's a place to mess around
but since i have these powers don't i need to make sure i use them responsibly?
to help people?
it's not like i asked for them
or wanted this to happen
but now that it did i have to do my best

[my_name_is_frill]

"with great power comes great responsibility," huh?

well here's another western catchphrase for you: "if it sucks, hit da bricks"

getting dreamer powers isn't a choice that you make; it's mostly dumb luck. the choice is whether you want to pivot your entire life and center it on the dream sphere, or keep going on the path you've already chosen for yourself.

if you want to be some kind of big hero, you have to make the choice to be one, not act like it was made for you just because you won the subconscious lottery.

[illrested]

Wasn't it, though?
it's just a lot to get used to when i was really normal for a long time.
i'll have to think about it i guess

un: arbiter

[egomitochdavar]

Sometimes, the kindest support one can give is a harsh truth.
I've remained evenhanded while I assumed her duties, but since that necessity has passed I'll speak my mind instead:

Naivete leads to negligence, and negligence can lead to death. All who remain in this place are aware of this simple truth.
If it is training or support you seek, this place's denizens will provide.
But if it is coddling and reassurance, we will not shy away from the truth.

[illrested]

i don't need anyone to coddle me
just don't be a jerk about stuff

[egomitochdavar]

Please hold your applause. I'm curious how empty that threat really is.

Frill, the need to remain evenhanded has now officially passed, correct?

[my_name_is_frill]

okay you got me i'd never have the heart to shut this site down <3

but i could start selling adspace and then EVERYONE would be sorry

including me probably ψ(._. )>

anyways yeah go ahead

[egomitochdavar]

Ads anyone with half an ounce of sense would simply block.
I suspect your actual vengeance would be twice as subtle and thrice as irritating.

Glad to hear it. I've been biting my tongue for far too long, now.

Ohhh gosh. Wow.

Hello? We haven't had the pleasure of meeting.
I mean I've seen FrillNet, but I never said anything before.
Or... joined.
