So are we quite done with this idiotic challenge, or not?

Day 21 of Egret, Morning [Binary; Voice, OTA]

[iamnotgod]

[Several days after first declaring the project he wanted to undertake, Webmind now has an ICP-compatible programming language.

SXT-246-029-256-062 thus receives another binary transmission, almost first thing in the morning after the daily announcements: I have developed a programming language out of which I can develop a suitable chat program. I expect to have it set up within ten minutes at maximum. You should be able to 'log in' once it goes live. Please report to me any bugs.

For the rest of the Network, Webmind waits a little longer before making a more public announcement. While some are playing with ice and coercion, other people have been busy creating new things!]

Hello, hello, Voidtreckers! This is Webmind again; I am pleased to bring to you a functional textchat program for the Network.

It is, I expect, a work in progress in many respects - but then, under the circumstances, that is only natural. Please let me know if it works for you, or if you can indeed access it.

Also, to whomever left me the bear on the bed assigned for me... thank you? It is appreciated, if nothing else.

[(Note: only those who are digital beings in and of themselves - such as robots or living computers - will be able to access this first iteration. Responses to this post can thus be text as well as voice or video! Or binary, for certain Devices. :V Text messages can be seen by all, even if they can't be MADE by all, and they will stick around overnight.)]

Video: Ice Bucket Challenge x2

[maxwellsdaemon]

[Once again the teenage boy stands in front of the screen, clearly within one of the showers, there is a bucket at his feet. Once again he's shirtless, his braid down his back this time. Instead of a smile there is a cold look in the boys eyes, no emotion on his face as he looks into the camera. He tilts his head and when he does smile, there is very little feeling behind it.]

Cheater and a coward. That's what I was called for... well. I don't suppose it matters, eh? This is what everyone wanted.

Thanks for the warm welcome, guys. Time for take two.

[Duo bends forward and takes the bucket in both of his hands and lifts it as if it weighs nothing at all. Up over his head it goes... he upends it... and in seconds he is soaked in a bucket of ice water that is clearly more ice than water. For a few seconds he is still and then a near painful shudder rocks his whole body before he drops the bucket behind him and steps out of the shower.

He pauses before reaching out to turn off the feed.]

You'll get your three bears.

[The feed ends.]


[ooc: The shower Duo was in will be locked for at least 24 hours after this! ^^ He's done the challenge so everyone should be happy now~ Yes? Duo is a good boy again?]

Vidoe | Day 19

[hashtagparkerluck]

[ Hello all. Peter's in his Cabin, sitting at the table with his laptop on and facing the screen with an open Power Point titled 'Things to Know.' ]

Sooo.... it's come to my attention very recently that people here are a little confused about stuff. Mainly how germs actually spread and also a little about the rules of the the 'Ice Bucket' Challenge Gwen and I both decided would be fun.

Because I tend to get rambly and can't follow a single subject I made this power point-it's not like... the best presentation you'll ever see because I don't really have access to the internet to do like cool transitions and stuff so you'll just have to bear with it-

[ Are you ready for this people? Because he presses the button to start the slideshow and has attached the MP3 of this song ]

[ And it starts with a quick introductions as to what germs are for those on the train that are unaware. It explains that there are good germs and bad germs with the proper cartoon graphics. Then it goes into little about how germs affect the body and the body's natural defense against them-your immune system. It goes into a pretty impressive detail about common misconceptions about germs and then on into how the spread and cause disease. ]

[ He's also timed it so that when the slides transition to a point point, he gestures at the screen. The presentation doesn't last a really long time but it's definitely more informative than Peter would otherwise be capable of doing because of his tendency to ramble. ]

Okay, so!

[ He shuts the lid on the his laptop. ]

I also wanted to be clear about something else-It's okay if you don't want to do the challenge. No one should have to feel pressured to do something they don't want to do. [ He pauses a moment and then a sharp shiver goes down his spine but don't worry about that! ]

People have varying reasons for why they don't want to do it and each of those is valid-even if it's just a simple 'I don't want to.' It's cool man, you don't owe an explanation. I won't ask for one.

If you do want to do the challenge but can't do it the normal way, that's okay too. There might be some teasing-I'm guilty of that-i shouldn't have-but I did so I'm sorry-but it's okay-okay that you didn't do it the standard way-not that you're being teased if it's bothering you that much.

Uh.

What I'm trying to say is please, Please don't pressure other people into doing the thing. They might have a personal reason why they don't want to do the thing. What ever that reason is-whether they want to tell you or not-is valid and you shouldn't question it.

Gwen and I just wanted to have a little fun and raise awareness for Mr Starks Teddy Bear Fund-this was not at all an attempt to encourage people to do something they don't want to do.

Uh... I think that's all I had to say.

...

I shoulda made a second power point... [ He cuts the feed as he grumbles. ]
