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:

network profile
Character_Name
@username
ABOUT_ME




If you'd like to for shits and giggles, here's some notifications that may be used:

Name (@username) followed you




Name (@username) unfollowed you




Name (@username) blocked you




Have fun! Code credit.

[STILL. TOO SOON MAN.]

I think I remember seeing him once or twice, while I was still there.

That sounds nice, though. Anything I can help with?

Not exactly my thought. I figured we'd be too busy for that.

[MIKEY]

Friends don't let friends text and dice, so I'll leave you to it.

[... but he does take a second to gather his composure. To stop his mind from going to places it probably --no, definitely-- shouldn't be going.

After that breath, that moment, he makes his way to the dojo. It doesn't take long. The decorating goes easily, too, even though they're all going up a little bit earlier than he would have expected. Lanterns hung, lights strung, a few high-up cobwebs dusted. After they've cleaned up the rest, Yu surveys the work with a satisfied nod.]


It looks good.
invinciblemikey: (4023036 (10))

[personal profile] invinciblemikey 2024-07-24 04:05 pm (UTC)(link)
(not to worry, mikey's mind never left that same place.

it was fun, at least. to decorate, make sure the dojo looked even more traditional, ready to host a festival manjiro holds dear. he misses the shrine he used to go, but this being the closest thing, he has no issue lending his home to soothe homesickeness.

the lanterns look gorgeous with the last, gentle kiss of sunrays in the background, and there's a smile on his lips as he surveys it alongside the other.)


Good job, us! Come on, though, I'm starving. Soba a good idea?
izanagis: (044)

[personal profile] izanagis 2024-07-30 12:27 am (UTC)(link)
[...

It's hard not to let his eyes linger a moment too long on that smile, to go back to simpler times and more relaxed moments and a shared home. The lanterns are beautiful, and they lend to a feeling of nostalgia that's more like an illusion. He's not ready to go back to any of that, not really. But in a moment like this...part of him wants to be.

Just part.

Still, as they make for the kitchen, the smile tugs at his face easily; naturally. He nods.]


Good idea for a hot night.

You're monitoring. I don't want to ruin our dinner. The only other person I've cooked for is Shinjs, 'cuz he's helping me learn.

(read: whenever he's on his own, it's not so great. he still needs assistance to make something that is a level above barely edible, after all.

for a moment, though, he looks a little lost in thought as he takes the ingredients out of the fridge and onto the counter. this kitchen has seen a lot of them - from kisses and sweat, to tremors and tears. there's a slight blush on his cheeks when he looks towards the table.

good times. it makes him laugh, their trajectory replaying in his mind. it was a fling, something he wasn't expecting much about - a kick to the shoulder, a kiss, some fun in a new land.

he can't imagine his life without yu anymore, regardless of how they are, were, could be. the look on his face is a bit silly, smitten, and he looks at yu as enough answer to why he looks as such.)

[The kitchen again. By now, it almost feels like a measure of their relationship, the changes in it, progressions and regressions. Yu tries to put that out of his head for the moment, but...it's not lost on him, how much easier it is to step foot inside this time. The expression on Mikey's face, and the heat he feels threatening to rise in his cheeks.

It's been such a hard road, even getting to this point.]


Got it, [is what he says, but his fingers still know how to find utensils, ingredients, and he's already assembling them. This isn't home anymore, but in some ways, it still feels like it.]

[personal profile] invinciblemikey 2024-08-08 06:48 pm (UTC)(link)
(the warmth? it doesn't leave, but instead, it increases when his hand accidentally touches yu's once he reaches for some utensils. this feels so much like a young love, one from teenage movies, with how his heart nearly beats away from his chest, even fully knowing that, hey, he's seen yu naked. a brush on the hand is, well, nothing.

but it makes his smile even more goofy, as he allows his hand to gently follow the lines of yu's on, a gentle, very soft, ghostly caress.)
