About twenty minutes after another helpful email went out to the multiverse, the servers at Portalocity slowed to a crawl.

Naturally, the public relations department was right on top of that:

@Portalocity: Sorry about the slowdown, folks! Tech support's working just as fast as they can!

On...something, anyway.


[OOC: Like before, open for all your disgruntled tweeting needs.]

@fullofro: @portalocity Dozens are stuck in Geneva Taco Bell, and you're giving us stickers? We may grow old here. #saveusportalocity

[dollpocalypse]

@brinkofgenius: maybe you should hire tech people who know what they're doing? just a suggestion. $90/hr should cover my salary

[momslilassassin]

callmeben: @fullofro at least you have food? Wait, Taco Bell. #nevermind #portalocityfail

@AnnieEdisonFHS: @portalocity The holiday season would be a great time for your systems NOT to slow down.
@AnnieEdisonFHS: @portalocity You should know, with the deals you sent us in email last week...

@star_linguist: Anyone know where I can crash for the night until I can get home? #strandedbyportalocity

[withoutverona]

fullofro @star_linguist: They're putting mattresses out at the Taco Hell now, if you want to swing by Switzerland. #portalocityfail

@dojima_hime: @fullofro You are never allowed to suggest a weekend vacation EVER AGAIN, Montague. U owe me 4 this weekend. #portalocityfail

[dojima-hime.livejournal.com]

@dojima_hime: @perkigoth They told the bunny to show them on the doll where the gnome hurt him & it hasn't stopped sobbing yet. #portalocityfail

[regretiz4suckas.livejournal.com]

@PerkiGoth: I think the bunny has grounds for a lawsuit.
@PerkiGoth: Because after seeing it *I* need therapy.

[withoutverona]

fullofro @dojima_hime It was my birthday trip! Have I not been punished enough?

PinkChronoCop: @portalocity I love how conveniently that email mentioned the Jurassic Era and not the Pleistocene one that I'm stuck in. #portalocityfail

[heromaniac]

After a VERY awkward morning, Momoko was NOT HAPPY to get the Portalocity email.

@Heromaniac @Portalocity OMG YOU LET ME TRAVEL DIMENSION ALONE WHILE I WAS FIVE!!! AND NOW I CAN'T GET A PORTAL HOME UNTIL TOMORROW?!? I have classes! a

@Heromaniac nd work! HOW CAN I EXPLAIN ANY OF THIS TO THE CAPTAIN?!? If I get fired from work or the Academy I am totally blaming you!!

And a few minutes later..

@Heromaniac the virtual gift doesn't display on my phone (;__;). Anyone get it to work on a Japanese cellpone??

CrimeSeen: @PinkChronoCop Wait, are there T-rex's there? Are you okay?

[blondecanary.livejournal.com]

@CrimeSeen: Just think, you could have wound up with @PinkChronoCop. SUE THEM #portalocityfail

[heromaniac]

@Heromaniac: @CrimeSeen @PinkChronoCop #portalocityfail #portalocityfail #portalocityfail #portalocityfail

[time-flyer-5.livejournal.com]

PinkChronoCop: @CrimeSeen Fine. Just cold. No dinosaurs. Lots of mastodons though. And saber-toothed tigers.

. . . Jen sort of felt like it was wrong that there weren't pterodactyls, triceratops, and tyrannosaurs too, though. But that was way too Ranger-history dorky to fit in 140 characters, and she was too anal-retentive to Twitter-spam.

[blondecanary.livejournal.com]

CrimeSeen: @PinkChronoCop DUDE. STAY SAFE. Come visit after! I'm sending a parka if you're not back by the weekend!

[heromaniac]

[heromaniac]

@Heromaniac: @PinkChronoCop Are sabertoothd tigers really as totally un cute as they show on tv and museums?

[time-flyer-5.livejournal.com]

PinkChronoCop: @Heromaniac @CrimeSeen I expect this at work! Not on visits home! #portalocityfail #portalocityfail #portalocityfail #portalocityfail

[time-flyer-5.livejournal.com]

PinkChronoCop: @CrimeSeen Calling HQ for a pickup if I have to. Captain Logan can yell at @Portalocity. I'll get popcorn.

[time-flyer-5.livejournal.com]

PinkChronoCop: @Heromaniac From a safe distance? Uncute. Don't think I'm risking a closer second look though.

[heromaniac]

@Heromaniac: @PinkChronoCop @CrimeSeen You have a crazy scientist who makes you test time machines too? #sciencefail #portalocityfail #notexpendableokay

[heromaniac]

@Heromaniac: @PinkChronoCop: Totally weird. Wonder why cats are so cute now then. AND DO STAY SAFE!

[heromaniac]

@Heromaniac: @f-cupcakes I WANT BUNNIES!! Send cookies too!
