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

Character_Name

@username

[oh, okay, now he gets it. And hates it immediately.

But hey at least now he can give Akira shit.]

oh yeah? which part did you not mean to send? The Doritos part or the one where you explain it?

[chemex]

definitely the first one
i mean it's true, your shoulder to waist ratio is insane, but somewhere between you and kotone i'm probably getting killed for pointing that out

[drugsnotclubs]

it ain't that dramatic

[ unsure, shinji. your waist is like that of a corseted victorian lady.]

and nah I'll just deck you if it gets too bad.

[chemex]

you and your fancy coat are selling yourself short there buddy

suggesting that you don't mind this?

[drugsnotclubs]

It's warm.

No it's just weird.

[bro he knows he's skinny he was actually dying until like six months ago and still has some health shit from those drugs WHAT IS THIS BODY POSITIVITY.]

but I guess I already knew you have shit taste

[chemex]

you were about to throw me for a serious loop.

everybody says that but i swear goro's only clinically insane 75% of the time

[drugsnotclubs]

??
How so

And yeah but how often is he a spiteful bitch?

[chemex]

i didn't really figure you were the type to accept flirty compliments.

at least 69%. [Yes he did that on purpose.]

[drugsnotclubs]

People can say whatever. And I'm still not sure it's a compliment. Like I said it's just weird.

[....wow Akira]

you're an idiot.
I guess that throws him off enough to keep from stabbing you though so keep at it

[see he found it stupid enough to be kind of funny tho]

[chemex]

it is a little weird, i guess. i meant it as a compliment, either way, but it's probably easier if we both just settle on "weird" and pretend it never happened.

guilty as charged!
and yeah, he's called it all sorts of hilarious pretentious things.

[drugsnotclubs]

you're good I don't get too uptight about that kinda shit

Does he still have to think he's the smartest person in the room even in private

[chemex]

oh absolutely

he read my a philosophy textbook once when i was sick.

[drugsnotclubs]

what to try and bore you to sleep

He's pretty insecure huh

[chemex]

to his credit, i asked. it worked, too.

he is, yeah. he's not had a lot of people in his corner, so he doesn't really know how to behave around people.

[drugsnotclubs]

that's not bad, then

he kind of reminds me of a really mean stray dog

Like that's the only way it knows how to get by. Which makes it even harder for anyone to do anything. Or even want to do anything.

[chemex]

[Shinjiro Aragaki, Akira could kiss you right now.]

that's a really good way to look at it.

Man sure hope these DMs are private

[drugsnotclubs]

[Listen HE GETS IT he just doesn't feel responsible for dealing with it :T

Though it does keep being everyone's problem, huh.]

he talked a lot while he was out of it at the clinic. So... I dunno his story, but it reminds me of a kid I know. So obsessed with avenging someone or something that nothing else in the world matters.

Sucks he got this far into it.

oops gndfjk

[chemex]

[That's fine, Akira's got that much handled. It just makes him really happy when someone is willing to see Goro as a young adult who had to mature way too fast through a fucked up situation rather than just write him off as an asshole for no reason.]

[He... does wish he'd stop choosing violence on the daily and getting everyone else wrapped up in it, though.]

[Akira sobers a lot at that admittance.]

he got pretty emotional with me, too. it's really not my place to explain his story, but... you're not far off. at all.

i really wish i'd gotten to him sooner.

Dhsuhssh it's a dating app THEY GOTTA BE??? /Sweats

[drugsnotclubs]

it's cool I don't gotta know. I think I got the main gist of it.

End of the day he makes his own choices, though, okay?

WE CAN JUST SAY IT IS... so goro doesn't kill them both.....

[chemex]

i know.

doesn't mean i don't wish i'd befriended him before he got that far.
