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.

I wouldn't allow anyone the satisfaction of humiliating me! The secret is you have to lean into it. Embrace yourself.

Isn't that still embarrassing anyway?

I don't really think consciously opting to embarrass yourself really would feel all that better than involuntarily getting embarrassed by some other entity.


[ Granted, the fact that Ange just feels embarrassed very, very easily is the biggest contributor here, but she wouldn't want to own up to that so directly. ]

No. Embarrassment is one of those things that only happens if you let it, and I simply don't.

Just decide cringe is dead.
entreats: (we need to bridge burn)

[ ...

There's actually a small pause before the next message arrives. ]


Does telling yourself that really work? It doesn't seem like it would.

What can I say? Practice makes perfect.
entreats: (before long)

Something tells me that you're just trying to purposefully embarrass me by making me do that.

[ Or maybe she's just met a few too many people here who love playing dumb mind games like that. ]

Why would I do that? I've never met you. That's an awful lot of work to go through for a stranger.
entreats: (the world will close the exit)

You think so?

I'm not necessarily disagreeing with you. It's just that I've met people who think pulling dumb pranks like that on a stranger is hilarious for some reason.
