NETWORK POST - UN: KATHLEEN

[reallysucks]

WHO: Kate, and You!
WHERE: THE INTERNET
WHEN: March 1
WHAT: Kate's woken up with Wings. She's also accidentally public posted.
WARNINGS: None!

[Huh! Instead of the default icon of some single color square, there's a photo of a long nosed, somewhat exhausted looking woman in glasses.

Perhaps more notably (more than the clearly Actual Name username anyway), is it comes with a picture- a standard 'phone over the shoulder' shot, aimed at a mirror to get a decent look at a set of large insectoid wings. Fortunately they seem to erupt over the undershirt. Or maybe that's unfortunate for Kate?]

Suzi, message back with what you see here; I think I missed too much sleep.

[...............

It does not take long before the post gets a reactive reply of-]

NO

[And a less reactive and more explanatory reply soon after, from 'LOCKANDKEY']

WHAT KIND OF CRAPPY MESSAGE SERVICE MAKES ITSELF THE DEFAULT APP AND REMOVES THE DELETE OPTION

[AAAAAAAAUGH!

To be fair the delete option might just be hidden somewhere.]

[Hahaha, guess who didn't even think about this public posting feature. It's fine, it's fine.]

Mmmm? I'm guessing that's one of those weird changes that post was talking about before?

Unless you've always had wings and I just never noticed.

[She's adjusting. She's adjusting.

She's getting a drink,] Apparently! They don't even do anything. They're just THERE.

[suzi_q]

[Smart woman, she's gonna need it.]

... Do I want to know how you tested if they work or not?

[reallysucks]

Where is your head going with this one.

[suzi_q]

Debating on if I shrug it off as "oh, that's sad" or if I have to slip into nurse mode of "you could have hurt yourself". So you tell me~

[reallysucks]

Honestly! I just...flapped them a bunch. Tried to see if they would get any air.

They didn't. The end.

[suzi_q]

Spared the medical wrath! Good on you!

But that's disappointing that they're entirely useless, but humans flying would... need a lot of support. Even birds have hollow bones so that they can get that lift!

[reallysucks]

Oh laugh it up!

I've got useless mosquito wings!

[suzi_q]

I wouldn't say I'm laughing, it's just a fact!

Maybe they'll go away? Or... grow to be actually useful?

[reallysucks]

Like the app on our phones will?

I know this was meant to be private, but are you going to need clothes that'll, uh, accommodate?

UN: LOCKANDKEY

[reallysucks]

I am about to find out, and I'm not looking forward to it.

[areyuuserious]

Well, if that turns out to be the case, I can at least point you in the direction of someone who might be able to help.

[reallysucks]

[Hmmmmm.]

Anyone with experience in work suits?

[areyuuserious]

Not sure, let me go ask.

[reallysucks]

Let me know what the verdict is then, backless isn't a very professional look in legal.

[areyuuserious]

[A few minutes later...]

Okay, so, he said he can give it a try if you don't mind him being incredibly unsure about it, considering it's not really his usual wheelhouse. Otherwise, it might not be remiss to throw the question of alterations up in the locals' group chat, if you feel it necessary.

[Probably not the answer Kate wanted to hear necessarily but hey, at least Yuu's trying to help.]

[reallysucks]

Ugh.

The fact that this is already public was bad enough...can I at least get a name?

[areyuuserious]

His name's August, his username on here is blackbirdtarot.

[reallysucks]

Got it.

Wish I could do this through another channel, but I'll take what I can get.

[areyuuserious]

Yeah... good luck.
