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:

...

This 'app' isn't being friendly.

[laserguy]

:(

are you calling me ugly?

[thenicerone]

What?

Oh no, I wasn't! I don't think that was a very good picture!

...Unless that is what you really look like then I'm sorry!

[laserguy]

[oh no this is too easy.]

sorry about my appearance or are you actually sorry about your hurtful, cruel words??

[thenicerone]

Yes, I am sorry! I really didn't mean to upset you at all!

[laserguy]

i am pretty upset.

what if i want to... eat you when we meet??

[thenicerone]

Oh, that'll be terrible!

I don't think I would even taste all that great! I didn't realize I upset you that badly!

[laserguy]

nothing that a little salt and pepper could solve. or some ketchup.

or i might be satisfied if you bring me a couple of sandwiches.

[thenicerone]

...Is that it?

All you want are some sandwiches? Because I can try to make some of the best ones!

[laserguy]

[....]

nah, you don't have to bring me anything. i was just messing with you.

i don't really look like that.

[besides it will be really awkward if she was trying to find a weird cyclops dude and he's just a regular looking human. she might just toss the sandwich at his face.]

[thenicerone]

Oh.

...

Would you still like a sandwich regardless?

[Because she might as well, right??]

[laserguy]

sure? i could go for lunch right now.

i'll bring something over too.

[Just a small apology on his end. This person seems really nice and Scott feels just a little bad about teasing her for so long. Just a little though.]

[thenicerone]

That's fine!

But you don't have to to bring anything.

[laserguy]

i know, but i will anyway.

do you like soda?? i'll bring that.

[thenicerone]

Oh, I would like that! What kind do you have?

I've tried Cola before but I have yet to try other ones!

[laserguy]

anything but Cola, got it.

i'll surprise you then. keep the suspense up.

[thenicerone]

I don't mind surprises! Although, where would you like to meet up?

[laserguy]

we're going for a simple lunch meetup, right? does the park near the town square work?

[thenicerone]

Yes, that does! Uh, I'll meet you an hour.

By the way, my name is Yukina. It's very nice to meet you!

text-> action?

[laserguy]

just an hour, huh? really excited to meet me, i get it.

okay, yukina. i'll meet you there.

action!!

[thenicerone]

I'll see you then!

[And just like that? Within an hour, there was Yukina standing by the park with a basketful of sandwiches. As she was looking her eyes around for a certain cyclops, she gave a small hum to herself.

She hoped that this demon(?) was nice.]

[laserguy]

[It's not hard to spot Yukina, as it's clear she's standing around with a basket in hand and obviously waiting for him to show up. Luckily, despite his somewhat easygoing nature, he is actually on time and carrying a small bag of his own with said drinks in it. Yeah, he brought a few, just in case she finishes one or two cans, and Scott sends a friendly wave at her as he nears.

He really looks like normal human boy, except for maybe the red sunglasses present.]

Hey, it's me. [There's maybe a small apologetic note to his voice. He really teased her, huh?] Scott Summers-- Cyclops guy.

[thenicerone]

[When Yukina heard him, she raised an eyebrow or two. Here, she was expecting a 10 foot cyclops to be staring down upon her. To her surprise, she just sees a regular human before her. Tilting her head to the side, she wasn't too sure how to react.]

Really? I thought you were a cyclops! Now that wasn't very fair, I didn't know that!

[And yet, despite her words, she was just happy to know that her new friend was just a human.]

[laserguy]

[Oops, she's just a little mad at him still, huh? Only a little, because she's smiling at him and everything. If she needs any further convincing though, he has those cans of soda nearby.]

Yeah, sorry about that. [He's carrying that slight apologetic tone, but it's clear that Scott doesn't feel too bad about everything. They're totally having fun.] The app or whatever picked that picture for me and I just went with it.

[thenicerone]

Then the app wasn't being very friendly. Although, I have noticed how it seems to make rather discouraging remarks to people...

[Was that supposed to be how technology was? Regardless, she held up the basket.]

But thank you for coming. I managed to make enough sandwiches to fill a big cyclops!
