expiationnet | 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:

[ huh? she has a message from a wierd app? ]

What in tarnation are ya carrying on about?

uhh didn't you fill out a dating profile?? 'cause you have one. right here. 

[ some seconds pass as she goes and read over her profile. ]

If I ever find out who is tryin to embarrass the tar out of me, I'm makin them see stars. And I don't mean celebrities.

it wasn't me!! I'm not too sure who it could've been, honestly. but I swear I didn't do it. 

I believe ya, Morph. Why, you're as sweet as doodle bug. I know you wouldn't be ugly about me.

Now it's got me thinking: Just who around here knows that much about me? I haven't spoken much since we've got here.

aww thanks! I'd definitely write you something way better than this trash you got stuck with. 

I have no idea about that one, though... if there's someone else from our world here we would know about it by now, right? 

Maybe. But we got a lot of folks that don't take kindly to mutants back home. Maybe they just wanna be mystery boys and girls and keep us guessin and lookin dumb.

yeah, you're right. I was hoping things would be different here, but that doesn't mean there can't be bad apples. 

Hopefully they're in small numbers than a herd.

Ya mind helpin me later with fixin up this profile? I can take a joke or two, but this is just plain ugly.

leave it to me! I'm sure I can come up with something that'll get guys knocking on your door :) 

Thank you, Sugar. Don't have them knockin too hard for me now. I'm still... well. Ya know. Healing.

don't worry, I won't make it TOO wild. since we don't know how long we'll be stuck here, going easy on this stuff is a good idea anyway. 

Sometimes it's the lil things that's more important and stands out in our minds.

I haven't looked at yours yet. Are ya on here?

Edited 2024-07-05 02:22 (UTC)

oh sure, I filled one out for fun. no takers yet, but I wasn't trying too hard. 

And what kind of type are you lookin for? Someone with a short fuse, maybe? Get all hot under the collar?

wellll I only asked for some muscle, actually. judging by the crickets I'd guess that people here are allergic to exercise.

sounds like you think I should've been more specific? 

Well, Sugar, hotties come in all shapes and sizes. Maybe go for the personality route than physical. It might make them feel less self-conscious about their image.

If ya serious, that is.

yeah you're right... I'll give that a shot next time. assuming we haven't found a way home by then, anyway. 

We will. It might... take us longer than I thought, but we will. I've spoken with a few folks here, a lot of the information I got don't match. A lot of confusion and what not.

we'll just have to keep at it! if we put our heads together we'll be able to figure out what info is true and go from there. 

Maybe turnin into Hank will get us a head start.

[ she knows that's not how that works, but let her tease and dream. ]

indoobiably!
indubiably?

aw damn I can't even spell half the stuff he says. 

Don't look at me, I've tried to tell that man to translate what he says in simpler terms, but he steady goes.

yeahhhh normally 'fake it til you make it' works out pretty well for me, but I can't fake being a genius. 

we might be screwed.
