Open Misfire Log!

[microbrobotics]

WHO: Hiro + anyone with a comm!
WHERE: Your comm, courtesy of data-jumping and the server misfire event
WHEN: October 3rd
WHAT: Hiro tries to jump back into his own comm and misses. Badly. Repeatedly. Shenanigans ensue.
WARNINGS: Probably none!

[ The good thing about being able to data-jump is that it makes the commute into De Chima ridiculously easy. Set up two beacons - one in his comm, the other at his work terminal - and just follow that path back and forth. He doesn't even have to think and he's there.

Unfortunately, those beacons are just as dependent on the server update as the rest of the network ... and when the misfires start happening, Hiro's beacons get mixed up too. What should be a big bright arrow pointing to his comm is just complete garbage ... meaning he's going to end up in a whole lot of comms that he shouldn't be before he finally makes his way home.

For those getting the misfire, there's a only a quick ping, like receiving a message, before a very confused teenager's face appears on the viewscreen. He does, at least, keep from going through any data, but that means he has to look out at the surroundings to try and figure out where he is. Which means staring up at whoever's comm he's in now. ]

Seriously? Not again.

Which city are you in?

[ursawhiner]

I'm at Mabel's place, so Heropa.

[microbrobotics]

... Oh man, you're probably not far from my house then. I mean, Aunt Cass' house.

[ursawhiner]

Is she the one who yelled at us for getting arrested?

[microbrobotics]

Yep, that's her! She's used to it though. Trust me.

[ursawhiner]

Cool! ...Wait, how many times did you get arrested?

[microbrobotics]

Just once, okay! Why is that the first thing everyone asks...

[ursawhiner]

You just make it sound like something that happens a lot.

[microbrobotics]

I got in trouble with the police multiple times, yeah. But I've only been arrested onc.

[ursawhiner]

It's only been twice for me and Mabel?

[microbrobotics]

... I only heard about the one. What happened the other time?

[ursawhiner]

We got caught counterfeiting.

[microbrobotics]

Nice. Counterfeiting what? Money?

[ursawhiner]

Yeah. Jails in Oregon are not as nice as the ones in Florida, by the way.

[microbrobotics]

... That seems like it should be the opposite.

[ursawhiner]

Oregon's pretty cold. Even in the summer.

[microbrobotics]

No kidding ... I mean, San Fransokyo gets chilly sometimes, but not like that.

[ursawhiner]

Mabel was pretty happy about it. Even more time to wear sweaters.

[microbrobotics]

Where does she even get all those? Does she make them herself?

[ursawhiner]

Yeah! She's a really good knitter.

[microbrobotics]

Dude, that is awesome. I'm kinda jealous, not gonna lie.

[ursawhiner]

Mabel would totally teach you if you asked her. Then you could make some kind of knitting robot.

[microbrobotics]

Don't tempt me. I'd probably cover half the city like that.

[ursawhiner]

Sounds like the beginning of a supervillain scheme.

[microbrobotics]

Aww come on. I only pulled one of those, by accident.
