[First it's just:

Opossum meme.

Opossum meme.

Opossum meme.

But finally:]

Comments

Invoking sibling rights to read over Leo's shoulder

[purplexing]

[After skimming his own devices.]

Wow, someone's really putting in some effort, I'll give them that. Looks like it's not only happening on one OurPowers either.

[faceguy]

What's the point of doing that? What's the big deal with people talking about the quarantine?

[Leo squints at his phone like this will somehow change the outcome.]

And why opossums?

[purplexing]

Obviously someone doesn't want anything more to get out regarding this whole lockdown, and they're covering their bases with a blanket filter.

...as for the possums, I can only assume it's a personal preference.

I wonder if posts get censored even if it isn't in specific regards to the this quarantine.

[faceguy]

What, so post about an old quarantine or a fictional one and see if it gets censored anyway? To see how specific it is?

[He can do that.]

[purplexing]

[Grin.]

Exactly.

Bump it up a level and see if whoever is doing this is monitoring things close enough to work out something in an acrostic format or an anagram.

[faceguy]

Alright. Let’s give it a shot!

[He’ll let Donnie tell him what kind of anagram to put down. He also makes a post referencing an unrelated quarantine to see what will happen.

The first gets possum’d, but the latter doesn’t.]

[purplexing]

Wow, even anagrams...

[Begrudgingly impressed.]

Interesting.

Well, I can see how getting their posts censored can rub people the wrong way but considering the current political climate in regards to "Metas", maybe keeping the actual reason for the quarantine under wraps is reasonable.

[faceguy]

Guess you’ve got a point there… If Dylan is right and the pod people parasites are Skyfallen, that doesn’t really help people trust us.

[Leo sighs.]

It’s getting bad, huh?

[purplexing]

[It's a grim thought, but Donnie nods.]

Exactly.

[He sighs right along with Leo.]

...well it's not getting better, that's for sure.

[levelshift]

That looks like something you would normally post.

[Stupid memes are very Leo.]

[faceguy]

EXCUSE YOU

possums? really? why would I post possums? and block text top and bottom? it's not even deep fried!

surely you dont think my taste is this bad

[levelshift]

[Okay, this is kind of funny.]

I didn't know there were standards when it came to memes. They all look like garbage to me.

[faceguy]

[To this, Leo responds with the entirety of the Bee Movie script. He hides “This quarantine sucks” about 250 lines in.

This is swiftly replaced by another opossum meme.]

[levelshift]

[Holy shit this is next level trolling that is vanishing immediately.]

What the fuck?

[faceguy]

whoever is doing this is stronger than the comedy stylings of jerry seinfeld

tragic

[levelshift]

[Ugh he doesn't want to get involved in this, but Leo's poking which means Donnie is probably also involved which means he should at least ask.]

Is this actually something serious?

-> private

[faceguy]

D thinks they’re trying to hide that a starfallen is involved. so maybe its a good thing?

he might look into it

Anon; I’m not sorry.

[mostdangerousbird]

Sir, this is Wendy’s.

[faceguy]

wendeez nuts

[mostdangerousbird]

What's with the opossums?

[faceguy]

you haven’t noticed?

whenever anyone talks about

certain topics of current interest

it gets changed to possums

[mostdangerousbird]

I’ve been hiking in the wilderness for a month.

But it sounds to me like you need to get creative with your metaphors. Then, when you reveal the meaning, the marsupial army will grow exponentially until all of OurPowers is under their pouch.

[faceguy]

oh so you were literally living under a rock

this program is pretty smart. it catches anagrams and encoded messages. metaphors would have to be REALLY creative.

[mostdangerousbird]

Like a possum, yes.

In fact, you should tell me a story about opossums and the Possum King.

[faceguy]

I could, but your anon. how do I know your cool enough for possum stories?
