OKCINDR POST #2

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! 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 July 2nd, characters randomly look back at their tablets to see the following:

OKCINDR PROFILE RESET #2
PLEASE RESET PROFILE


This month, if players reset their profile, they will have a list of their choice of questions to answer:

- what is your favorite color, and why?
- describe your ideal date
- what's your favorite food, and are you able to cook it yourself?
- tell us about your very favorite hobby
- do you fear death?
- do you wake in the morning staring into the abyss, wondering if it stares back?
- what constitutes "life"? are you "alive?" how do you know if you are "living?"
- if you could be any animal, what would it be, and why?
- tell your favorite joke


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.

An amusing joke, Junpei. Did you manage to solve today's word puzzle?

Please explain "movie."
coolerjunpei: (but if he watched back to the future)

[personal profile] coolerjunpei 2024-07-02 05:12 pm (UTC)(link)
nope. i gave up on the last guess.

a movie is like a picture that
[....,] moves. on a screen...?
cartridgerefill: (i still love you)

[personal profile] cartridgerefill 2024-07-02 05:13 pm (UTC)(link)
A shame. I will make sure to check with you sooner tomorrow.

Oh yes, I am familiar with the technology. I use such things in my lab, but no one has made anything called a "movie." So you're interested in monitoring others?
coolerjunpei: (nice neck)

[personal profile] coolerjunpei 2024-07-02 05:16 pm (UTC)(link)
don't wake me up early or anything.... but okay.

what, like do my old job? hell no. it's not like that. a movie is more like a book but in video form.
cartridgerefill: (and i'm running out of words)

[personal profile] cartridgerefill 2024-07-02 05:20 pm (UTC)(link)
How early is too early for you?

So more like a recorded theatrical performance, you would say?
coolerjunpei: (011)

[personal profile] coolerjunpei 2024-07-02 05:22 pm (UTC)(link)
uh... before 8 i guess. maybe 8:30.

yeah! but with waaaay more money for special effects and stuff.
cartridgerefill: (of phosphorus)

[personal profile] cartridgerefill 2024-07-02 05:24 pm (UTC)(link)
I will be sure to note that. [he will text exactly at 8:31am]

Fascinating. I would like to experience a movie. It seems reasonable Aldrip would have some, I should think.
coolerjunpei: (003)

[personal profile] coolerjunpei 2024-07-02 05:28 pm (UTC)(link)
[thanks for respecting his laziness boundary]

so wait, you said you've got surveillance equipment for monitoring people but no one's come up with movies where you're from? really?
cartridgerefill: (of phosphorus)

[personal profile] cartridgerefill 2024-07-02 05:29 pm (UTC)(link)
The equipment is unique and specialized. They're not typical for most locations, so the technology is not widely accessible. Otherwise, we would have such things, I think.
coolerjunpei: (028)

[personal profile] coolerjunpei 2024-07-02 05:33 pm (UTC)(link)
huh okay. we used some pretty specialized stuff at my old job, so that makes sense... mostly.

[he doesn't totally understand how it's possible for Video Screens to both exist somewhere and not be accessible in the same place, but he's a millennial so he's biased.]

so what kind of theater do you like? i'll look for movies.
cartridgerefill: (and the acid)

[personal profile] cartridgerefill 2024-07-02 05:49 pm (UTC)(link)
My laboratory was very unique. Perhaps in the future, I will help share such devices when my work is completed.

Oh, I am not so particular. I've watched performances for children primarily. I used to caretake orphans and they quite enjoyed those kinds of tales. So I encourage you to find a movie you like and I will join you for the occasion.
coolerjunpei: (nice neck)

[personal profile] coolerjunpei 2024-07-02 05:55 pm (UTC)(link)
what kind of work do you even do...?

i can find you a kids movie for in case you get homesick.


[this is about 50% a bit.]
cartridgerefill: (and i'm running out of words)

[personal profile] cartridgerefill 2024-07-02 05:58 pm (UTC)(link)
I am a scientist, and I like to know who arrives within the vicinity of my laboratory.

I would enjoy that immensely.


[not a bit for bondrewd]

[personal profile] coolerjunpei 2024-07-02 05:59 pm (UTC)(link)
oh, it's just security cameras? you made it sound like you're doing top secret weird experiments with special monitoring stations and whatever.

sure, no problem.
cartridgerefill: (i still love you)

[personal profile] cartridgerefill 2024-07-02 06:06 pm (UTC)(link)
That probably would have been the better way to summarize it. I apologize for how it sounded. The videos are not typical in my world.

Thank you. I look forward to it.
coolerjunpei: (could this shirt be tighter?)

[personal profile] coolerjunpei 2024-07-02 06:08 pm (UTC)(link)
don't worry about it. security cameras are a pretty big field, anyway. loads of types.
