Trial 26: THE ANONYMOUS CHAT BOARD

[hot_mess_express]

Balls and masquerades aren't everybody's jam, or maybe you just want to take a break …

Luckily for you, there are dozens upon dozens upon bunches of tablet computers around about the place, perfect for joining in on an anonymous chat board! Oh, and there's plenty of private rooms or nooks to hide away in, too, should you want to.

ICly this functions as an IC anonymous confession board/shitpost central/TFLN; anything goes, really. If your character can't read or is illiterate, there is every handwaveable mechanism that will make this accessible for them under the sun.

Note that EVERYTHING is public. E V E R Y T H I N G. By default everything is anonymous and they somehow know that they're encouraged to keep it that way, but they can input their name if they really want to.

Yo, hit me up.

[auroranonymous]

What is your favorite story?

[auroranonymous]

Good question! I'd have to say it's "Red Moon Rose."

[auroranonymous]

And what do you like about it?

[auroranonymous]

The drama, the tension, the excitement! I love any story that draws you into its world.

[auroranonymous]

And what is the book about? I've never heard of it.

[auroranonymous]

It's the story of a young soldier working to solve the mystery behind a series of murders-- all the victims were young women and were linked by the mysterious fang marks on their necks.

[auroranonymous]

Oh, so a vampire story! Right?

[auroranonymous]

Exactly! A vampire murder mystery, it's exciting stuff.

[auroranonymous]

Do you usually like vampire murder mysteries?

[auroranonymous]

I have a wide variety of tastes.

[auroranonymous]

Tell me about them?

[auroranonymous]

Well, let's see... I like romance novels, sweeping passionate tales fraught with peril. I like action adventures, thrilling stories exploring hidden ruins and delving into the unknown. Anything with a lot of excitement, honestly.

Of course, there's also plenty of nonfiction stuff that's interesting. History, books on game theory, stuff about philosophy and war....

[auroranonymous]

So you're gunning for biggest nerd, right? :P

Have you ever tried writing yourself, or just a reader?

[auroranonymous]

Haha, not a chance! I keep my extracurricular activities on the downlow.

I'm more of a reader than a writer.

[auroranonymous]

Oh, secret nerd type. Any reason for that, or just a private person?

[auroranonymous]

No particular reason honestly, I just don't think it's anybody's business.

[auroranonymous]

That's fair.

Then what's your opinion on this whole anonymous thing?

[auroranonymous]

Personally, I'm a fan. I like the idea of hiding under a shroud of mystery, that I can say anything and no one can be quite sure it's me.

[auroranonymous]

It is pretty fun. Really have to wonder when the trolls start coming out full force.

[auroranonymous]

I think you've lost me.

[auroranonymous]

[There is a delay in her response.]

Sorry, something I associate with gaming, I thought you'd know.

It's a thing where people will just mess with people online, usually anonymously. A lot of it is stupid stuff, some if malicious.

[auroranonymous]

Nah, I'm not online very often. Good to know, though! Hopefully we don't have anyone like that here.

[auroranonymous]

Well, malicious is pretty hard when the small population means it wouldn't be terribly hard to figure someone out if people were really dedicated.
