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

[ It does work pretty well, huh? Star-Prince just doesn't have the same ring to it, though Peter's relieved to see that Scott isn't going to be weird about this particular revelation. ]

I mean, they're awesome, so. Yeah. But they also have the coolest name, so it all worked out.

[ He could have been Metallica, that would be pretty cool actually. But then he'd have to pull off some kind of metal theme? Armor, maybe? Nah, Star-Lord is way better. Peter chuckles at the thought and takes his blasters back and hooks them into the holsters at his hips. He keeps an eye on Scott, wondering what the kid has planned.

To be clear, he 100% believes that Scott has some cool blasters, he has 0 reason to lie and Peter will always believe in people. So when Scott says to take a step back, Peter does just that, stepping back to make sure he's behind him. ]

You got it, bud. Show me what you got!

[ He's a cheerleader, okay. And whatever has Scott spooked about this, he's totally willing to cheer him on through it. ]

[laserguy]

[It honestly really helps to have Star Lord cheering him on. He's maybe slightly more of a dork than he initially thought, but he's still pretty cool in Scott's opinion, if just very... nice to him as well. A little reminder that adults don't entirely suck here, that maybe he can start relying on a couple once more. It hurt a lot when Dazai disappeared from this world and when Astralin came back just briefly, not recognizing any of them.

Guess he could do worse than look up to a guy that pilots a spacecraft and is basically Han Solo.

But pushing those thoughts aside for the time being, Scott straightens himself out and peers at the bottles once more, hand reaching up to the ever present glasses adorning his face. He can do this, he wants to show Peter... he just hopes that he's not disappointing. Hesitating only just a couple more seconds, Scott pulls off his glasses to let that bright red beam shoot out from his eyes, a loud noise cracking through the air as the concussive force breaks through the bottles while ripping apart the log that they were sitting on.

He didn't miss at least.]

[starguy]

[ Peter is happy to be a cheerleader, it's practically his superpower. See, he might be a little dorky and a lot cheesy, but sometimes you need a guy who'll play AC/DC in the middle of a fight just to make you feel like you're invincible.

He takes a moment to pick his jaw up off the ground when Scott pulls out laser beams from his eyes, like. Holy scut. A moment later, Peter is whooping and cheering, still making sure he's behind Scott, but. Dude. ]

Holy flark, that was SO cool!! You didn't tell me you have laser eyes!

[ Is he clapping? He's clapping. ]

[laserguy]

[As he closes his eyes and places his glasses securely on once more, letting those powerful beams be somewhat controlled by one single accessory, Peter's loud clapping and shouting finally reaches his ears before settling comfortably around his shoulders. Geez, he's so much. He turns his head around to look at the still encouraging and supportive space captain and whatever remaining anxiety disappears from his chest.

Yeah, that was pretty cool, huh?]

Optic blasts, dude. [He corrects with a small smile, one that feels so honest before it morphs into something a little more cocky.] It's why I call them my blasters.

[starguy]

[ He will happily be so much, little dude. Peter's cheers die down as Scott turns back around, but he's still smiling like a kid on Christmas. ]

Optic blasts, that is so cool.

[ He is so serious right now. ]

And you can do that all the time? Dude. That's gotta be the coolest thing I've ever seen.

[laserguy]

[...It's kind of an amazing feeling to still impress a guy that's travelled through space. Scott takes in Peter's bright smile and he almost feels embarrassed, but luckily he manages to push through with his own confident grin. Yep, feelings of his own powers are sliding back to super positive once more.]

They're a concussive force and yeah, they're basically infinite.

[Sure, he has to stop and recover if he lets out his optic blasts for too long, but they're never really gone. His body just... produces more or whatever. Like a plant. Is that how that works??]

[starguy]

[ Peter means every word, being his team's #1 fan. He will gladly be Scott's new #1 fan because, dude. Laser beams. From the eyes. That is rad. ]

Dude, no way! Even my blasters overheat if I fire 'em for too long. That's awesome.

[ It works the same way but don't worry, you don't have to tell Peter one way or another. ]

Were you like, born with that or is it like some crazy new space tech?

[laserguy]

I have to close my eyes after a bit, but once I give myself a few seconds, I reopen them and vroom.

[Scott don't make sound effects for your own powers. It's too late though, because he definitely just did that, the noise escaping him before he laughs. Peter can copy that noise if he ever wants to describe his optic blasts; he will allow this.]

Yeah, born with it. [Well--] I mean, I didn't start firing these guys off until about a year ago, but it's not technology or anything. I'm a mutant.
