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

so not him but

[traumaticus]

did it hurt when you broke through earths crust as you ascended from hell?

lol bless

[notthekingpin]

I actually manifested all at once in a bit of hellfire. I'm sure it looked extremely cool, if you could see.

[traumaticus]

i'm certain it must have been a magnificent display of terror and power.

[notthekingpin]

It was, while it lasted! But then my power was too much for regular humans and eventually I ended up here. So the lesson is, display terror and power in moderation.

[traumaticus]

such a pity, then. that your spectacle was put out prematurely so. let us hope your silver tongue will serve you better in this world than in your original one.

[notthekingpin]

I should hope so. It's not every day you're uniquely qualified for your kidnapping scenario. I mean, all this talk of crime and punishment? It's like a lawyer's wet dream. Normally our skills aren't really necessary in kidnapping/survival situations

[ and, you know, "first, let's kill all the lawyers" that's a Shakespeare reference just for you ]

[traumaticus]

ah. so a guardian of law, i see.

i have heard the philosophers to say that the wittiest pen is mightier than the sharpest sword. maybe you will turn out to be the hero that we need, cleverly so deceiving our captors and lead us to freedom.

[notthekingpin]

Now there's a fun thought! I do think highly of myself, but maybe not so highly that I could save everyone in one go. Still, it'd be nice to help.

If you need some clever deception you're welcome to contact me.

[traumaticus]

[a clever deception, huh...]

keeping hubris contained is good for one's neck, as they say. still, would you be able to weave such sinister ploy that it would even fool the divine?

[notthekingpin]

You think Ben & Jerry are gods? That's an interesting theory.

[traumaticus]

who?

[notthekingpin]

Uh the Council's lackey and some guy with his phone number. IDK they're the only people I know who have names.

[ Ben is not Mr. Expedition's name. ]

[traumaticus]

[....what is phone?]

from your description it sounds like they are nothing but servants. i wouldn't be too worried about them.

[notthekingpin]

Exactly! So if I need to plead your case to them, I'm sure it won't be a problem.

[traumaticus]

why would any of us need to prove a point to mere servants. if you desire to slay the beast you ought to cut its neck.p

[notthekingpin]

Ooh, violent! And bold! I wouldn't say that where the beast's eyes might see, though.

[traumaticus]

that'll fully depend on the nature of the beast we are dealing with. there are ways to trick even the eyes of the god. that is the art of absolute deception.

[notthekingpin]

Sounds like you've got it under control, then.

[ Far be it from him to explain to this stranger that privacy on phones doesn't work like that. ]

[traumaticus]

as much as anyone else here, i presume.

[notthekingpin]

How long have you been here? Or are you another recent arrival?

[traumaticus]

aye. not even a moon has changed since my arrival.

[notthekingpin]

Yeah, it's been the same for me. The moon thing. It's weird, right? All of this?

[traumaticus]

"weird" is one way to describe this. however, i would not expect anything less from hell.

[notthekingpin]

Did you die, before coming here?

[traumaticus]

no.
