OKCINDR POST #1 ✨ STICKY ✨

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
Character_Name
@username
ABOUT_ME




If you'd like to for shits and giggles, here's some notifications that may be used:

Name (@username) followed you




Name (@username) unfollowed you




Name (@username) blocked you




Have fun! Code credit.

[A pilot, huh...]

wait, do you actually pilot a ship? what kind of ship is it?
starguy: (we'll bring hell down from above)

[personal profile] starguy 2024-05-03 07:18 pm (UTC)(link)
Hell yeah, I do! I'm the proud captain an M-Class Ravager ship called the Milano. She's my baby! And my home.

[he didn't understand half of that sentence which means--]

hold up.

are you talking about a space ship??? you've traveled through space???
starguy: these might be super blurry I will fix them eventually (Mama she said)

[personal profile] starguy 2024-05-03 11:08 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, of course! Just finished a huge job out of Knowhere, defeated an evil alien entity that wanted to take over the galaxy. No biggie.
laserguy: (smug)

[sorry everyone else, peter has now become his favorite adult.]

dude, seriously????

peter, uh, mr. quill, tell me all about it. your ship, the alien entity, everything about going through space.


[no one tell anyone that he's being uncool.]
starguy: these might be super blurry I will fix them eventually (Mama she said)

[personal profile] starguy 2024-05-04 04:15 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Hell yeah, Scott, that's the correct opinion. ]

seriously! it's such a good story.

so turns out the evil alien was called Magus. he was this one guy, Adam Warren? No, Warlock. Yeah. He was this one guy's negative energy I guess? I don't remember why, but Warlock is some kind of super powerful alien who can like heal and do a bunch of stuff, so people worshipped him like a god. Which is totally dumb by the way—the dude talks like one of those weird Shakespeare things.

But anyway. I guess the more he healed people the stronger his dark side got, so one day he had to bail on all the people he was healing so he could exile his evil super-powered side. But the people he was healing still had hurts, they'd lost people in the Galactic War so they were desperate for someone to help them. Soooo they went looking for him and they found the evil dark side and they started this creepy cult called The Promise, which gave people their loved ones back, just, you know, in a weird simulation in their heads while Magus drained everybody's hope and used them all like batteries. Super creepy stuff!! The Promise pulled everyone into it—Nova Corps, Knowhere, even my buddy Cosmo... it was like the whole galaxy got sucked into this creepy cult.

But me and my friends stopped him! We took down the Promise and Warlock fused with Magus and everybody went back to normal!


[ This is definitely not what Scott had in mind and I'm sorry. But he did say "everything."]
laserguy: (yeah hang out with the cool kids)

[personal profile] laserguy 2024-05-05 05:24 pm (UTC)(link)
[He didn't fully expect this wall of text, but he's actually reading it. Look, he's almost glued to the screen as he scrolls down to read everything. It's the most reading Scott's done in his life! Okay, that's half true--

Scott just hopes that he's just not reading some dude's fanfiction story that he made up. But he's giving Peter the benefit of the doubt for now. Probably wouldn't happen back home, but look at where they're at. Besides, it's about time they get someone here that's travelled through space and dealt with alien cults. Yeah.]


So did you use a ray gun to stop Magus? A stun gun? Distract him long enough for Warlock to fuse with him? He sounded like a pretty tough dude.
starguy: (Are you ready to go go go?)

[personal profile] starguy 2024-05-05 09:43 pm (UTC)(link)
oh yeah! I haven't even told you about my blasters! dude.

so I have these sick blasters that can create energy, and they can shoot fire and ice and lightning and wind, they're really awesome and super useful. so like I'm no slouch, right?

but it was a team effort, me and my friends: Rocket, Gamora, Drax, Groot, Nikki, even Mantis, and Nova Prime, and Lady Hellbender... the whole galaxy came together to put a stop to him! We just happened to like, finish the job once he was weak from everybody's super awesome teamwork.


[ You can't make this stuff up, Scott. ]

[personal profile] laserguy 2024-05-06 03:33 pm (UTC)(link)
dude do you have them here? your blasters? could i see them??

[Maybe it's a good thing that this is just text, because he might be embarrassed later if Peter saw just how excited he is right now.]

a whole galaxy fight, shit. that's. like incredible. you basically lived through star wars! [never mind the fact it was just sort of a 1v1 thing against the emperor but whatever.]
starguy: these might be super blurry I will fix them eventually (Mama she said)

[personal profile] starguy 2024-05-06 04:04 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Peter Quill would never harp on someone for being excited, usually he's the one getting harped on, Scott! ]

DUDE, YOU'RE SO RIGHT I BASICALLY DID
instead of the death star, they had this base set up on a mining colony but whoa...
oh yeah did I mention there was a dragon? man, that was awesome

anyway yeah!!! I got my blasters here! they only work for me tho because of weird alien tech but like don't worry about it.
if you wanna see em I can totally show them to you
we could shoot stuff!

[personal profile] laserguy 2024-05-07 03:06 am (UTC)(link)
geez man, didn't realize that you were like han solo until now?
but a space dragon? what was it like? you have to tell me man, it's like the best part of fantasy stories in a more interesting place.


[A little disappointing that he can't use the blasters, but it's cool.]

if you show your blasters i'll show you mine.
starguy: (Are you ready to go go go?)

[personal profile] starguy 2024-05-07 03:56 am (UTC)(link)
dude.
am I han solo right now????
that would be SO rad
I wish I was that cool
the space dragon is really cool except his name is kinda dumb
it's Fin Fang Foom
I'm not making this up. that's his name.
he was like super big like we're talking like MASSIVE like his foot was bigger than me dude
this thing was HUGE
we kind of accidentally killed it but it got better and it was water under the bridge
makes for a great story though

YOU'RE ON!!
I'm always down to show off my moves, man
plus they're really cool I'm not gonna lie, you're gonna flip
laserguy: (what do you think)

[personal profile] laserguy 2024-05-07 01:51 pm (UTC)(link)
you have blasters and pilot a ship. that's all han. oh tell me that one of your friends is like chewbacca. that's a necessary thing to be a cool space guy.

dude i don't care what his name is because that's fucking incredible. but wait you killed it??? HOW?? and it came back?? i mean we're talking about space dragons, so sure. you're lucky that he didn't squish you after that.

okay that sounds like a promise. better not disappoint me!! can we meet now?? are you busy?
starguy: these might be super blurry I will fix them eventually (Mama she said)

[personal profile] starguy 2024-05-07 11:14 pm (UTC)(link)
dude I can't believe I didn't see it
I even have a friend whose language doesn't translate so to everyone else it just sounds like "I am Groot"


[ Let's be real, this make Rocket Han Solo, but don't worry about it. ]

uhhhh yeah I mean he was kinda trying to kill us too
and for my buddy Drax, fighting Foom was like a HUGE thing in his planet
so we kinda all got wrapped up on wailing on him
next thing we knew he was like dead dead, which wasn't the plan!
but lucky for us Lady Hellbender (who is super badass and hot and so so scary) was able to get him on our side even after that
I don't really know how her stuff works but she's like 8 feet tall so we were just happy to have her help

hell yeah, I can do now!
I'll try and set up some targets for us to shoot
you wanna meet up kinda out of town?
here


[ He will drop a pin on the map or maybe give Scott directions, it's all good ]
laserguy: (smirk)

[personal profile] laserguy 2024-05-08 01:43 am (UTC)(link)
good thing i was around to state the obvious. you're welcome

sorry dude i think a lady that's 8 feet tall and called 'lady hellbender' may be out of your league, even for you.

i'll be right there. with my blasters.
starguy: (We'll make our stand)

[personal profile] starguy 2024-05-09 03:18 pm (UTC)(link)
oh dude for sure
she would break me in half
funny story, she tried to do that actually!
I mean she did kidnap groot. kinda.
it's a long story
we fled from her planet super fast
but I think drax was kinda into her?
I know when to fold em

can't wait
let's do this thing!!
laserguy: (summers scott)

text-> action?

[personal profile] laserguy 2024-05-09 05:53 pm (UTC)(link)
fuck man you really have crazy stories.

[peter's so cool... scott will no longer be able to hide his excitement when they meet, but it's okay because he's going to see SPACE BLASTERS.]

see you there.
starguy: these might be super blurry I will fix them eventually (Mama she said)

[personal profile] starguy 2024-05-09 08:46 pm (UTC)(link)
see you soon dude!

[ Peter has the best stories... he doesn't even have a ton of them with the Guardians but the ones he does have are awesome. Dude is basically a cheerleader it's his whole thing, he's pumped to meet up and blast some stuff and meet somebody that appreciates a good blaster.

Which, speaking of, he did set up those targets! He has set up a long line of empty bottles on a fallen tree in the woods. He doesn't actually know who he's meeting but he's 100% the kind of guy who sets up random meetups in the woods, so he doesn't bat an eye.

He waves when Scott approaches. His blasters hang at his hips on their holsters, but he's no stranger to funky tech so he doesn't ask where Scott's are.
]

Hey dude! You here to blast some scut?
laserguy: (smug)

[personal profile] laserguy 2024-05-11 05:38 pm (UTC)(link)
[He waves back at Peter as he nears and okay, honestly, he's dressed in more normal clothes than he expected. Sure, guess his profile picture pretty much showed that and Han Solo dresses pretty casually, but he thought that maybe he'd be wearing something a little more spacy. Or something. It's cool though, because it really doesn't lessen the mutant's excitement, especially as he spots those blasters hanging in his holsters.]

I'm ready man.

[Scott looks up at Peter with undisguised enthusiasm, his ruby shades doing nothing to hide that expression from him. So much for being cool in front of the guy that helped save the galaxy and everything, but there's something also very relaxed and easygoing about Peter that makes it easy to be like this.] Show me what you got!
starguy: (From the time I was young)

[personal profile] starguy 2024-05-13 04:08 am (UTC)(link)
[ His very cool jacket is padded for zipping around space, it's very cool (okay, yeah his golden space suit would be cooler, but he wasn't wearing that one when he got pulled here, so it's kind of out of the question right now.) Peter wasn't totally expecting a kid, but like, he's chill and he rolls with things pretty easily. And Peter himself got his blasters at 13, so he'd have no room to call Scott out on being a teen.

Teens are cool. Teens have seen some shit. Peter thinks no less of Scott because he's an excited teen.
]

You ready for this?

[ Peter grins, pulling his blasters off his hips with a flourish and fires off a few quick shots. The dual blasters fire bolts of bright pink energy, shattering the bottles into tiny glass shards. That's just the first form though, and Peter holds the blasters together before they erupt in a glow of white cubes -- reforming in single, a different shape. Like this, the blaster fires off ice instead. Just like that, the targets end up covered in blocks of ice, the water in the air clinging to them in icy peaks. ]

Now, get this -- [ Another shift of his wrist and the blaster glows white again, changing to yellow accents, and a completely different shape. ] This one shoots lightning!

[ Yeah, the ice on those bottles? Melting. Perfect time to shoot them with lightning!! ]
laserguy: (yeah hang out with the cool kids)

[personal profile] laserguy 2024-05-13 05:02 pm (UTC)(link)
[While it's a little difficult for Scott to fully tell the colors that change within Peter's blaster, he can still discern that they changed in the first place. Not to mention that it's hard to argue against the results, watching with a parted mouth as he shoots those blots that first shatter the bottles, then freeze the others. That's... so cool...

Okay, he might be cooler than Han Solo. Maybe. And he's real so that's a bonus.

He's not sure what he's more excited by, the way those blasters change shape to shoot those attacks or seeing the different elements firing out. Man, how does that even work?? Well, space technology, obviously, but that's so freakin' awesome!! Scott looks more and more impressed, more bright, with each charged shot, until he's unable to fully contain his delight.]


Holy shit! [He laughs, openly. Yep, guess he's no longer even trying to be cool anymore. Let's just keep it between guys, right??] That's fucking awesome dude! You're like the master of the elements with that!
starguy: (This is our time to go from zero to hero)

[personal profile] starguy 2024-05-15 05:00 am (UTC)(link)
[ Good thing it changes shape too! These are totally normal things that blasters can do. Peter's just psyched to see someone agree with him -- these are cool, thank you!! ]

You know it, dude! They don't call me Star-Lord for nothing.

[ Peter holds the combined blaster up and blows on the end like it's some kind of smoking gun. It is decidedly not. With another shimmering white glow, the blaster changes shape, to green this time. But there's nothing to be embarrassed about, Scott. Blasters are cool. Peter is grinning ear to ear. ]

It's got a wind setting, which is this one, and a fire setting. [ It is very cool. ] I mean, I just call it fire but like... it shoots lava. It's actually kinda dangerous and we're in the forest so I probably can't show it off. I don't wanna start a fire, haha!

[ Haha! Totally normal! ]
Edited (emphasis) 2024-05-15 05:00 (UTC)
laserguy: (hehe)

[personal profile] laserguy 2024-05-15 10:39 pm (UTC)(link)
[Seriously, his nickname is Star-Lord? Isn't that a bit much? But just this once, Scott will give it a pass because it feels fitting right now. Peter has the coolest blasters; they are way more impressive than anything in Star Wars. Maybe just as cool as a lightsaber-- or more. A lightsaber can't shoot out different elements after all.

He watches as Peter switches the element once more, and listens earnestly as he explains the element this time. Wind. Makes sense. And oh fire, you have to have fire. Obviously. Oh sorry, lava. Yeah, probably shouldn't shoot lava in a forest, but......]


Dude you have to show me the lava shots sometime. [Pleeeeeeeeease. Scott looks up at Peter with an expression that isn't exactly pleading, but he really wants to see this.] I'll be missing out otherwise.
starguy: (We'll make our stand)

[personal profile] starguy 2024-05-19 11:54 pm (UTC)(link)
[ You win every award, Scott, by virtue of not calling "Star-Lord" lame. Like. That's Peter's thing. He is so Star-Lord in his own mind. It's so important. Thank you for being a real one, Scott. Peter is so unused to actually being found cool that this is like, definitely in the top 3 of days ever. Kids are great. He's grinning ear-to-ear. ]

Heh, maybe if we get something worth burning! Or like on a monster.

[ He smirks, using this chance to show off the wind-setting. Rather than just shoot a gust of wind, the setting actually focuses on distant objects and pulls them closer. Meaning Peter aims his blaster at one of the bottles and pulls it towards them, stopping just short of being at punching distance. With that, he grabs the bottle with his free hand and tosses it to Scott to catch. ]

Wind's strong enough to pull stuff, but gentle enough not to break it. Pretty neat, huh?
laserguy: (smug)

[personal profile] laserguy 2024-05-20 11:45 pm (UTC)(link)
[It really is quite tempting to find some monster so that Peter can shoot his lava bullets at it. Like bam, one hit and that's it. Even if it would be extra gross and crap. Maybe that's what makes it cooler. Well, until it starts screeching in pain--

But Scott watches as Peter shows off with his new setting. This time, it's uh, a lot less destructive but still neat in its own way. Guess everything can't be about blowing something up, huh? Probably nifty when you're too lazy to get up from the couch and want to grab something from the kitchen. Yeah.

He catches the bottle when it's tossed at him, holding it with his hands as he smiles at Peter. Some of that excitement has died down, but there's still something deeply interested and invested in Scott as he listens to everything Peter is saying to him.]


Yeah, super neat man. [...] You mentioned that only you can use them, right? Is that how all space guns work or is yours just really special?
