OKCINDR POST #1 ✨ STICKY ✨

[expi]

Ever wanted to have CR with a character and wasn't sure how to get them to cross paths? Wanted a dating app so you can hook up with hot people? Wanted to just find friends because you're a lonely bastard?

With the update of the tablets and the apps, we now have a dating / friendship app called OKCINDR! We're testing it out as a sticky post right after we process apps and newbies get oocly settled into the game. Players can use it as they please for the two months that it's up -- just imagine that they're profiles to swipe right on and everything. The idea is to encourage CR that may be difficult to get with characters who may or may not be interested in events / posts / logs / other network posts.

So, on May 2nd, characters randomly look back at their tablets to see the following:

OKCINDR PROFILE RESET #1
PLEASE RESET PROFILE

Players, of course, are able to ignore this message. However, if a character wouldn't fill it out but a player would like to participate... the profile mysteriously resets itself. There may even be responses sent from Character A to Character B without Character A actually doing anything, if you'd like! This is a completely opt-in scenario! But for players who would like to participate fill out the post:

network profile

thanks crusher (toph) for the profile. it isn't him, obviously. rip mr. spock.

Mr. Snarky

@spock

I'm super smart and some kind of not human. Whatever you think I'm saying is actually wrong and I'm saying something way smarter and funnier.

CODING

[starguy]

I wanna know what the funnier thing is!!

[ holy shit does that say spock??????????? ]

Peter Jason Quill (@star-lord) followed you

[ashaya]

[ UNFORTUNATELY.

please hold while he tries to determine how and why this particular device is going off. he'd managed to avoid a grand portion of the interference, rerouted it several times, but there is no cure for someone with other intentions. which, he supposes, are not terrible. terrible inasmuch as forcing him to interact with the device, surely, but.

well, at least most of this he can play off as needed. it can't force him to cooperate more than he has to. ]

Then it appears we are in agreement.

[ this does approximately zero to disprove this profile. ]

[starguy]

[ This only makes it better, tbh. ]

Not sure I get it but... ooh! Is it like a literal humor thing? Because my friend Drax is really good at those kinds of jokes. He says Katathians don't have a sense made of humors, but I think deep down he knows he's being funny.

[ashaya]

[ sniper level precision clocked... ]

Curious, though working with the understanding that one is able and willing to navigate the complexities and absurdities associated with interspecies humor.

[ spock...... is he being funny? maybe. ]

Though I have no knowledge of the Katathians, perhaps he is simply reporting as he knows.

[ never encountered those guys. ]

[starguy]

[ It's flying over poor Peter's head but he's so game for it. ]

Right! Yeah, a lot of stuff doesn't make sense when it's translated so you learn to just kinda roll with it.

That's pretty much it though! He didn't get metaphors either, but he's been reading up on them. He's always like "on Katath, we speak efficiently and do not waste time drawing comparisons between birds and stones, Peter Quill." He's a riot.

[skelters]

Are you snarky?

[ashaya]

Apparently.

[ well, according to some people. ]

Shall I assume that you too were given a profile involuntarily?

[skelters]

That answer sounds good enough, I suppose!

[ snarky already, much? ]

You got that right! It doesn't seem like I can even fix it, but then again ... I suppose it doesn't really matter!

[ashaya]

Indeed?

[ he hasn't even warmed up. ]

Not at current, no. However, it surprises little that few would find it troubling when they ought.

[skelters]

[ neither has vash! ]

Yeah, it could have been worse ... It looks like a few people have things they don't really agree with. Interesting, isn't it?

[drugsnotclubs]

So what I'm getting here is no one understands your jokes.

[ashaya]

[ thankfully, he's already determined why this is happening by the time shinji decides to throw this down to him. ]

That is assuming one has made a joke to begin with.

[drugsnotclubs]

man it's even worse if you don't make jokes, everyone thinks it was a joke, and then they still don't get it.

That's gotta be rough.

[ashaya]

Certainly, though no less difficult than the notion one is humorous when one is readily not.

[ Wow, Spock. Scathing as always. But: ]

However, I fail to see how an abrasive texture has any application here.

[ NO YOU GAVE HIM AN OPENING.... now he's going to be funny on purpose. ]

[laserguy]

huh. so. what kind of 'not human' are you?

[Scott hopes for mutant even if it's a long shot.]

[ashaya]

"Some kind," it would seem.

[ guess who didn't make his profile? the same guy that isn't disproving his title. ]

[laserguy]

[..........]

this is where you answer by telling me what kind of non-human you are.

[ashaya]

Is it? It would not have occurred to me.

[ .................... spock. ]

While not inherently incorrect, the individual who elected to compose my profile has a limited understanding of the boundary between what is non-human and what is non-Humanoid.

[ listen, he has a reason for being cagey. first is the prime directive. the rest is just a bonus. but, he's welcome to infer whatever he wants from that. ]

Perhaps it is more prudent to ask what would fall under your definition, considering Aldrip's inhabitants.

[laserguy]

[..................]

so you're definitely an alien.

or an elf??

[driving_from_the_backseat]

What kind of non-human?

[ashaya]

It would appear I am "some."

[ he didn't make his profile and he has no reason to answer for a variety of reasons. dwbi. ]

[driving_from_the_backseat]

[Oh.] I guess someone wanted all of Aldrip to wonder. [Not that they can judge anyone for being inhuman, given what they are.]

[ashaya]

As always, I often fail to see what is gained from the question.

[ it's like questioning if one is left-handed upon seeing them write with it. they couldn't have possibly noticed, surely. if someone wanted to sincerely know about his status, they would have opened with something else. ]

[driving_from_the_backseat]

Not many people here seem to be from the same world. Seeing your picture, I might think you were an elf, but those are myths in my world. Your world could be different. Someone’s species can also influence their personality, and their worldview.
