[ The post starts with Yuri raising both hands in front of the video, showing off her rather obvious lack of a string. She's not affected by this one. (Thank god, she would've been pissed about it.)

Right now she's just decided to give a rude little PSA to everyone. ]

Hey, morons! Stop asking what the hell a string is doing on your finger when there are like 50 other people who asked too. Either check out the other posts or stop complaining.

Anyway, why are so many of you shocked about this? Aren't there a ton of Japanese people on here? For those of you who aren't: It's said that God tied red strings to people who are destined to meet in some way. Two people connected by the red thread are destined lovers regardless of time, space, or anything else. It's basically like a soulmate.

In other words, it's pretty stupid since all of that corny crap isn't real to begin with and the gazillion posts about it are flooding my page. Anyone have anything interesting to talk about?

[ Sorry guys, even if Yuri's involved now... she's still not that interested in this kind of thing. At least if she thinks it's not real to begin with and especially when she thinks someone, even the community, is trying to toy with something as important as caring for others. That is to say.. maybe she's even a bit ruder than usual because this is actually pissing her off. ]

Stupid. [ And the video cuts off. ]

We had a virus like this before, too. Except instead of waking up together thinking we were soulmates, we were just compelled to find the person on the end of the string and then couldn't stop touching each other.

[tenminutes]

All the more reason people should just deal with it.

[ifbymyhands]

Probably. It could always be worse.

[tenminutes]

I know it could, but what if someone who actually is in love with someone got someone else?

[ She's actually a little nervous to check if Battler's got one or not. ]

[olbustedhotness]

Well, at least it's good to have some sorta explanation.

[Kay glances across the TARDIS console room to the derpDoctor who is currently ... he doesn't even know what the hell he's fiddling with, but it looks ridiculous]

Soulmate's a bit of a stretch, though. Acquaintance is prob'ly a better fit.

[tenminutes]

The idea's supposed to be that in every life you'll end up meeting and falling in love-- but since it's visible only to people on the community I'm calling bullshit. I don't believe anything's set in stone like that, anyway.

[olbustedhotness]

Me neither. [the fleeting ghost of a memory brushes his mind - one of the ones that's yet to resurface, and he all but shoves it away. why? because it hurts, and he's had enough of those already, he doesn't need more]

Not to mention that he is decidedly not my type.

[tenminutes]

Yeah, you don't really seem like the kind of guy who goes for...

[ She's trying to figure out what's in the background. The TARDIS, to someone who doesn't know it, at the very least looks like one thing: ]

Aliens?

[docfoul]

I would have thought it is obvious by now that, generally, the community's members are not the most perceptive.

[tenminutes]

Well, here's a wake up call for them.

[docfoul]

We both know perfectly well they won't listen.

[tenminutes]

Hey, there's at least one guy grateful for an explanation up there!

[....he'll go to visit her in a second, but he's using video here for now.]

Hey Yuri.... what's bothering you right now?

video;

[tenminutes]

Nothing.

[ Rather, it's Battler. She's a little more okay with telling him. At least part of it. The other part that's got her grumpy... well, she'll say later. ]

You don't have one, do you?

[chestboard]

[no there's something definitely wrong, he can tell that about her by now.]

No.... I don't, thankfully. There's only one person I'd ever want to be tied to.

[tenminutes]

[ That seems to cheer her up at least a little. ]

Well I know who that person is, but I would've had to be pissed if the community decided otherwise.

[shinjaeba]

You could always make a game out of seeing them making fools out of themselves.

[tenminutes]

I'm not getting into another drinking game with you. [ staaaaaaare ]

[shinjaeba]

I didn't say anything about drinking. [jiiiii]

[entreats]

How about you tell a joke for starters? [ deadpan, of course, even in writing it's.. pretty obvious. ]

written; Yay!

[tenminutes]

Ange's cooking.

[entreats]

Let me rectify that. I meant a funny joke.

Maybe the community thinks it's romantic.

[tenminutes]

How is being forcibly told that you are supposed to be with someone and you have to spend time with them now romantic?

[text]

[enshrined]

[Because men throughout history have defined it as such for women?]

The community is always strange- shouldn't its romance be too?
