OKCINDR POST #2

[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! 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:

@starscience

Jokes? Ooh, I can do that! Let's see...

You must be a neuron, because you got some action potential!
Why can't you trust an atom? Because they make up everything!
What does a subatomic duck say? Quark!

[bonobos]

nice jokes babe ur a real showstopper

dress looks great on u btw

[unprimed]

Oh, um, thanks, I think?? I have no idea where they got that picture from, so it's kind of...mmmildly concerning but. It's fine. Probably. Right??

Anyway it's Tendi. I mean "babe" is sort of nice but also super weird, so. Just my name is good with me!

[starguy]

Those jokes are sooo nerdy, haha are you like your crew's science person?

[unprimed]

WHAT?? Noo, they're not that nerdy! Are they?? I mean, not that that's BAD or anything but--

Oh boy, don't get me started. Starfleet has a whole SCIENCE DIVISION, you know! I'm pretty sure the Enterprise even has someone who JUST studied xenobotany!! Like, that was her whole job!

[starguy]

No, dude, they're great!! I don't mean nerd like a bad thing. Plus I kinda get the atom one, cause of matter right?

Like just studying alien plants? That's totally someone's dream job! That's cool you guys get a whole division for nerdy stuff. Is there a division for people who wanna like, pilot and chart stars too?

[unprimed]

YES. Because of matter! Exactly!

Oh boy is there ever. Someone's gotta fly the ships, right?? I mean, I sort of thought EVERYONE knew how to pilot before I actually joined Starfleet, but I guess that's not true. Which makes sense, I guess, when the ships are SO big and all.

[coolerjunpei]

what did the neutrino say when it passed through a bar? nothing, it just went right through.

that's the only one i've got though.

[unprimed]

HAH!! That one made me laugh my MASS off! (Get it?)

You seem to have a pretty FERMION grasp of that one at least!

[coolerjunpei]

haha, nice. let me try another one, hang on......

why did the pirate go into deep space? so they could spend more time at c.

that's it for real, i'm spent.

[unprimed]

OH, I think I get it. Because there was a time when Earth pirate ships were water vessels, right? That's really good! Orion pirates have been in space for centuries...honestly I think for most of our history. It sounds kind of fun, sailing on oceans like that.

[finalfrontiersman]

How many Vulcans does it take to screw in a lightbulb?

Two; one to screw in the lightbulb, and one to ask what's so funny.

[unprimed]

OH NO THAT'S SO BAD.

[She says that, but. She's laughing. Unfortunately.]

The second one is probably thinking it's illogical to have two Vulcans changing a lightbulb anyway, it's only a matter of time before they try to increase the efficiency of the process. Maybe task Engineering with developing an automatic system or something.

Oh wait! Sorry, I got carried away, anyway that was bad, but it was also pretty funny! Here's another one in that theme:

How many Klingons does it take to change a lightbulb?

NONE. Klingons aren't afraid of the dark!

[finalfrontiersman]

Please, don't give them any ideas. Engineering tried to install a new door on my quarters and they put it in backwards. I didn't even know those doors COULD be backwards.

Jim Kirk (ayeayecapn) liked your message

I'm totally stealing that one.

What did the First Officer find in the toilet?
The Captain's log.

[ Okay, that one was stupid but it still makes Jim laugh! Moreso because it makes Spock Stare at him, you know the one. ]

[unprimed]

Backwards?? How does Engineering install something BACKWARDS on the ENTERPRISE?!

[Like sure the Cerritos or some lower ship, fine, that makes sense! But the FLAGSHIP? And the CAPTAIN'S QUARTERS?? What the heck?!]

OHHH NO THAT ONE IS SO GROSS

Why didn't the chicken get into Starfleet?
Because it failed the HEN-trance exam!!

[homeostatic]

If you steal someone’s heart, do you get cardiac arrested?

[unprimed]

Okay, that one is SO cheesy. You could open up a...cheese...shop? Is that a thing??

Two blood cells met and fell in love...but it was all in vein!

[homeostatic]

Sure is! They sometimes sell wine and cured meats too, things for fixing hors-d'oeuvres or charcuterie boards.

That's terrible. I'm hanging onto that one. Y'know, I played hide and seek in sickbay once, but they kept finding me in the ICU.

[unprimed]

Hold on, wait, what? That one doesn't

ohhh wait I get it now.

OH NO THAT ONE IS SO BAD. If the goal is to get someone cringing then you win this battle!

[joyboys]

heyyy it's you green science girl!!

i don't really get your jokes but i'm sure they're good!

[unprimed]

Wow, "green science girl" MAY BE the most succinctly accurate way I've ever been described!! Simple, maybe like SLIGHTLY offensive to the wrong Orion, a bit, but it's fine, and absolutely correct!

Wait. Does that mean I forgot to tell you my name? I'm D'Vana Tendi. Most people just call me Tendi. Nice to meet you...again? Re-meet you? Something like that?

[joyboys]

hahaha yeah isn't it!! but i don't remember maybe you did or maybe you didn't

it's okay anyway!! nice to meetcha tendi

[boarishboy]

[ He is too Medieval for these jokes, so- ]

I'm glad to see you again, Tendi.
I hope that you're settling in well?

[unprimed]

Oh! It's nice to hear from you, Dimitri!

You know, I think I am. Temporal crisis aside. I mean, it's not like a BIG temporal crisis, but it's always kind of dicey, interacting with people from different points in the timeline and...

[oh. she's rambling. anyway]

But it's fine! Enough about that! How about you?

[boarishboy]

[ Temporal... crisis? What. He is so out of his depth.

Though, the bit about 'different points in the timeline' does actually strike him as familiar. ]

Have you too come across those from a different point in time than you?
For me, there are those from my world but all of them are older.
One, even, is from a Fodlan that took a far different course than mine did.
