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:

Exactly. Gay is far too narrow a definition.

Let's maybe not, I'm not really looking for a forced MOVE.

[bonobos]

some people only like one ball in one hole and power to them but there are a lot of balls and a lot of holes, how can a guy pick?

u going for the slowburn thing? courtship or whatever? that’s cute

personally i think if u want something u should just go for it. u only live once

[finalfrontiersman]

I mean one ball at a time feels like the best way to avoid testicular torsion tbh

We're not going for anything, we're ROOMMATES

Yeah exactly, one chance not to screw it up.
If there were anything to screw up.
Which there isn't.
Because we're friends, fullstop.

[ oh Jim for fuck's sake. ]

[bonobos]

that’s what we’ve got hands for

[ what the fuck does this mean ]

yea ok

besties

roommates

platonic life partners

fellow hole explorers

whatever u wanna call it

i’m gonna give it 2 months

time’s a ticking

[finalfrontiersman]

Hands in holes are decidedly less fun. Fingers, however, fair game.

[ Jim's been adventurous in his time, and has the benefit of interspecies relations under his belt so...he can imagine what it means, at least? ]

Roommates and *co-workers* is all I'm calling it.
Hopefully we're not here that long.

[ Jim you are kidding literally no one on any front. STOP FEEDING THE TROLL. ]
