[The time on your Dreamberry has just struck 00:00:00. The time is unnoticed by most residents, many opting to either be in bed at this hour or occupied with other things. There's no reason for someone to check their messages right now, is there?
00:00:45
A text suddenly causes your Dreamberry to vibrate, alerting you that a message has arrived. Upon opening the message, something very strange occurs...
ERROR: CODE 4421a7 FAILURE DELIVERY: SENDING TO [>DBHUB://MAIN/APPS/CONTACTS]

...Oh God. How did this get here? You suddenly find yourself quite aware you are not good with Dreamberry. It seems there is a birthday cake on your screen, wishing someone named Akihiko Sanada a happy birthday. However, it also asks if you wish to send an e-greeting? The source of the message just says it was initially sent by "anonymous"... Technology sure is strange.]
[Akihiko himself awakens to the vibrating of his Dreamberry on his night table, groggily picking the device up and looking at the message. He doesn't outright recall telling anybody that today, September 22nd, was his birthday... Who could have sent this?]
W-what the--?
[OOC:
47_l0w was recently playing around with the Dreamberries at Hotel Dusk and managed to uncover a few people's birthdays. He got to work writing a code to send the people he lived with birthday greetings - unfortunately, it seems he didn't quite check all his lines of code correctly... Or this was intentional. The greeting (cake image + birthday wish) was sent not only to Akihiko's Dreamberry, but to everyone's. It may have ended up in the spam box for some people but for those who want to respond? It's sitting on your screen, clear as day. Pressing any key will send a message to Akihiko - in fact, it will re:fwd:fwd:fwd the whole thing, making it a new text every time.
This is exactly what Akihiko needs, to be up all night deleting cake texts when he needs to be on patrol the next morning! Go ahead, make his life difficult. He likes it.]
