SHIVER ME TINDERS



Something’s been glitching with everyone’s shellphones this month…! They suddenly fizzle and go black and when they reboot it appears there’s been some unwanted activity happening on them on your behalf.

A network post has appeared and with it, fake social media profiles have popped up too. You didn’t post to it, the shellphones have automatically done that for you. They’ve posted one picture, your age and three random facts about you. Whether or not those facts are true or not is … sketchy at best.

If you’re curious, go scrolling through the network post and see what it says about others! Comment around and ask them about their facts! And maybe make a new friend?

- Oocly, you will post your character to the network post with a picture, name and age and three random facts.
- The facts don't have to be true and can be entirely made up and be random or wild. Or they can be the realist facts about your character. It's up to you.
- Have your character react icly any way you want!
- Post and tag around!
- This is not necessarily a romance/date finding post, we just thought it was funny. Make friends and cr!

What exactly do you mean by that?

[personal profile] wherethereislight 2026-03-09 02:55 am (UTC)(link)
The photo is inaccurate. [That's how this works right?]

I am not at fault for that as I did not create this.

Is this some version of the truth and lie game?


[ That could explain the photograph. ]
wherethereislight: (unacceptable)

[personal profile] wherethereislight 2026-03-09 04:13 am (UTC)(link)
It's stupid. That's what this is. [How are the shellphones doing this....?]

You will not hear an argument from me on that.

[personal profile] wherethereislight 2026-03-10 03:00 am (UTC)(link)
Any ideas how it's doing this? It wrote something for me as well. [Thankfully nothing too offensive. Just annoying.]

I would say that the wires were crossed, but these do not connect via wires.

[There isn't an immediate response, because Shadow is now messing with the shellphone.]

[A gargle of incoherent text comes through, but then the phone switches to video as the image the phone going into a tumble. Shadow had thrown it across a room that appeared to have a ton of plants.]

[ That did not seem good.

Sherlock waits a moment to see if Shadow picks back up the shellphone or not. No sense in replying if he's just going to leave it among the plants.

[The shellphone remains where it lands for a moment. Then came the footsteps as Shadow proceeds to pick it up.]

Know anyone good with advance tech? [His voice statically comes through. He definitely wrecked his shellphone.]

[ Thankfully, the Victorian knows who to turn to because he sure as hell isn't the one to try fixing something like this. ]

Go to Professor Turo. If he cannot fix it, you will need to see about replacing it.
wherethereislight: (unacceptable)

[personal profile] wherethereislight 2026-03-13 02:01 pm (UTC)(link)
Hmph. As if replacing is going to solve this issue. Who even is in charge of making these? [He wonders if there's a way to modify these or make something similar to how it functions and not have to rely on them.]

[ It would solve the issue of the broken shellphone after being tossed. ]

I would think someone within each of the factions is responsible as we receive a shellphone and username upon arrival. If the factions do not have direct access to the shellphone's creation, then it is unlikely they would distribute such a device freely to everyone who arrives in this world.

I don't think this is meant to be that sort of game.

[personal profile] wherethereislight 2026-03-10 03:07 am (UTC)(link)
And? [Should he care?]

[Well. No, but-]

You're certainly not wrong in thinking it is one. I'm not sure what happened, but I assume the shellphones are pranking us all.
wherethereislight: (no I haven't done the homework)

[personal profile] wherethereislight 2026-03-10 07:24 pm (UTC)(link)
[siiigh.] Who do we talk to about these shellphones?
