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:

Such as the Omen of Evil.

[aeolianmode]

Surely that does not require consistent and unyielding vigilance?

[aeolianmode]

And leave that boy below out of your fanatical rants. Madman.

[paragonknight]

With my own eyes I have witnessed a once dear comrade succumb. Should I drop my vigilance for even a moment I could very well face the same fate.

[ Guess who was the one to put him down with his own hands? He leaves that lil detail out... The Knights of Beauty are Fine don't worry about it ]

The question of my rationality aside he has asked and so I will not hesitate to share what knowledge I can. Does that truly upset you?

[aeolianmode]

I suppose I have heard the path walked by the Knights of Beauty is fraught with perils.

You spread false hope to the naive. That is what I cannot abide by.

[ Projecting, much........... ]

[paragonknight]

Yes, it is a path riddled with peril—the trials and tribulations are endless. Yet personal failure is no reason to so callously cast aside the duty of safeguarding seeds of beauty held within this universe and the next... Not while they remain vulnerable to corruption and cruelty!

Mister Sunday, your search for your sister tells me that you have a good heart so it is regretful that you see The Beauty in this manner yet I cannot stand aside and allow you to profess this ugly mischaracterization. The hope that the Beauty spreads is no falsity. You would not be witness to the unalienable conviction of myself and others otherwise.

[aeolianmode]

[ Having that said about him, that he must possess a good heart given his desperate search for Robin, makes something curdle deep within his chest. He certainly doesn't want to hear that coming from Argenti. ]

I see. You consider yourself a mirror, a reflection of Idrila's work.

I suppose your words must hold some truth. And yet, is it not folly to believe a mere mortal can fully convey the power of an aeon? No matter how fervently you attempt to spread the way of Beauty, nothing you do will ever be sufficient. Is this truly how you wish to live the rest of your life?

[paragonknight]

No. I could not possibly wish to be a reflection. It is true that my contributions to the Beauty are small and hold little significance. I would never hold such delusions of grandeur.

I merely wish to gain a true understanding of the path they walked.

[It's such a shockingly strong stance to take he can't help but want to understand why the other is taking it.]

I don't understand, but I wish to. Are you unable to resonate with the desire to spend my life as protector of that legacy?

[aeolianmode]

What good would it do to understand that path? Are they not aeons because they are beyond our mere mortal comprehension?

[ For Sunday, pathstriding is a means to an ends. ]

I can understand the desire to spend your life as a protector. What I cannot understand is spending the rest of your limited days in defending that past.

[paragonknight]

Just the same to live on without any guidance is to fall to ruin. I have already been made witness to a world much like that.

[Oof not often that he makes reference to more modest origins but it seems important to at least allude to them here but it's a learning moment!! He thinks at least. Now here is the part where he is delulu-]

I do not see it that way. I merely live to serve within the present moment.

[aeolianmode]

[ "Guidance," he says, and unfortunately that resonates with part of Sunday's heart. He hates the pieces that may begin to understand this man. ]

I see. So that is the true sentiment behind your actions.

[ Must that guidance come from the aeons in particular though? ]

You live to serve within the present moment. I do not believe following in the footsteps of a fallen aeon is not necessary to accomplish that goal. Not even an aeon may be powerful enough to save our godforsaken world.

[ He can't believe he's saying this. ]

Have you not considered that humanity is, perhaps, strong enough to stand on its own merits without the guidance of an aeon?
