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:

Roses are nice, aren't they?
My favourites are geraniums, though! :-)

[hotproblems]

The pinnacle of the floral world, in my opinion, yes!

Geraniums are rather tricky, though. One must be careful not to deliver the wrong species, or else the meaning may change from true friendship to open stupidity.

[The More You Know]

[skelters]

I know they come in lots of other colours, but red is really the best, isn't it!

Oh, you're talking about .... flower language, right? I didn't know that!!!

[ guess which one vash is ]

[hotproblems]

Oh, undoubtedly.

And yes... Do take note, then, that it is not enough to merely pick the prettiest flowers! It would be such a tragedy to inadvertently insult someone with an errant bouquet.

[There will be a quiz. Write these down.]

[skelters]

Hmm, if red ones are your favourite, what's the second favourite colour?

Yessir, taking notes! I've always wondered about what they are, but I haven't seen this many flowers before I ended up here.
That sounds really serious though ... I wouldn't want to mess up! :-(

[hotproblems]

Of roses? I would say yellow. Such vibrancy brings a special clarity to any arrangement.

Are you giving a bouquet of flowers sometime soon...? Or is this mere interest? Either way, I could be of service.

[skelters]

Haha, I agree! Yellow is a happy colour too, isn't it? :-)
I do love the pink ones too, especially when it was Spring here!

Oh, I sometimes help out at a flower shop, so I've been picking up things here and there ... Do you have much experience with making one?

[hotproblems]

Quite so. Pink, too, is lovely.

I am well-versed in the language of flowers. Would you like lessons?

[skelters]

What other flowers do you like, or do you only like roses?

Would you really? That would be amazing! :-) Then I can talk to people about it, too!

[hotproblems]

Oh, many! Lilies are quite lovely, as are geraniums. Lavender, too, can elevate an arrangement.

When would you like to meet and discuss? I will leave it up to you.

[skelters]

Maybe it'd be easier to ask what flowers you don't like? But I think they're all nice in different ways, so I wouldn't feel right deciding which ones aren't as good ...

Wow, you sure are enthusiastic about this, thank you so much! :-)
I'm usually free in the afternoons anytime!
