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:

we both know I had nothing to do with this

at least this time the text is more like me, though

[conflictresolution]

You say as much, and yet it keeps occurring so one has to wonder.

If you're lonely, you could invite someone to visit.

[rebellions]

don't even start that shit

yeah no I'm good
it's probably some council shit again
they're the ones that constantly want us to hold hands and sing kumbaya

[conflictresolution]

What, pray tell?

Likely. They want people to settle into relationships. Who can blame them? Relationships either make you a better person or far, far worse.

[rebellions]

implying that I'm doing this on purpose!!

and then what, they'll punish us if they decide it's the latter?
sounds bullshit if you ask me

[ But he figures that must be the case, considering how his last sentencing went. ]

[conflictresolution]

It is a tactic I've heard lonely, wounded people use.

Likely but what does it matter? You have that flame that drives you so the consequences of the Council be damned.

[rebellions]

neither of which applies to me

not really, no
it's just the hypocrisy that gets me
"you guys should get together!" "no not like that"
damned if you do, damned if you don't

[conflictresolution]

Doesn't it? Curious.

It's a common theme of basic control. I wouldn't be bothered by it, and you are too stubborn to give into their whims.

[rebellions]

need that repeated, old man?

doesn't mean it's not annoying as fuck
maybe I should blow them up again

[conflictresolution]

Perhaps one more time.

You're confident they won't reply in kind this time if you do?

[rebellions]

I'M NOT LONELY

[ He even used caps for added impact! ]

and do what?
put me in time-out and force me to apologize in front of the class?
I'm shaking in my boots

[conflictresolution]

Ah yes, just a man and his church and any time my daughter drops in for a sleep over.

[Capslock received but not believed.]

Or remove you permanently.

Or force you to be friendly.

[rebellions]

exactly

[ The sarcasm might have gone over his head. Or he just chooses to ignore it this time. ]

that's not happening, since they'd be doing me a favor that way

... okay that last one's kinda scary, I'll give you that

[ That's where he draws the line, apparently. Being forced to make friends. Shudder. ]

[conflictresolution]

Do you provide sermons at the church?

Isn't it? I think everyone here would faint if you were social with them.

[Makes a mental note to drop a line to Jerry.]

[rebellions]

nah
if people wanna talk with their imaginary friends, they can do it themselves

good thing it ain't happening, then

[conflictresolution]

So you live vicariously through others. Do you watch them?

You had better hope it doesn't. It might destroy you.

[rebellions]

no???
what kinda creep do you take me for

yeah, and if I say "please" or "thank you" I might burst into flames
that's just how it works

[conflictresolution]

That's the reason for the questions. I'm trying to discover if you're a creep or not.

If you uttered such words, I would be convince you were an alternate version of yourself or you had been body swapped.

[rebellions]

isn't it a little too late for this...?

[ Given he's already his so-called bodyguard and hangs out with Jinx a lot... it's probably something Silco should've done a lot earlier. ]

yeah, if I ever say shit like that, you can be sure you're dealing with evil doppelganger or body snatcher and I need to be put out of my misery

[conflictresolution]

Is it ever too late?

[He assumed everyone was a creep; kindness was transactional in most of his experiences, and he was still trying to discern what it was that Ragna was actually motivated by aside from a sad traumatizing past (he assumed).]

I will make a written notice of your wish for elimination upon uttering niceties.

[rebellions]

better late than never
but I'd hope you'd have figured out I'm not one BEFORE letting Jinx come for a sleepover

[ He certainly would run a very throughout background check and probably a lie detector test if given a chance on any guy who got a funny idea of inviting his little sister over... but that's just him. ]

great. now I can rest easy knowing that if nothing else, my last words aren't gonna be something lame like "let's be friends" or some shit

[ Facetious might as well be his middle name. ]

[conflictresolution]

Oh please, Jinx is a far larger creep than you ever could be. I'd be concerned that you would pick up tricks and tips from her antics.

[It was, of course, the utmost point of pride. He would never ask Jinx to be anything more than she was, even if he would like to enjoy a bit of restrain now and again.]

Those may be your last words, but you won't live long enough to regret them.

[rebellions]

... fair point
I'd, uh, rather not

[ He may have quite a reputation due to his terrorist exploits, but Jinx's particular brand of chaos is something he prefers not to combine with his powers unless absolutely necessary, for the sake of everyone involved. ]

I already regret the possibility

[conflictresolution]

She has that affect on some. Watch yourself.

[And Ragna was well known for blowing up a building here, so that was already a step in the direction of Jinx chaos.]

I hope I never have to endure hearing it.

[rebellions]

don't I always?

[ Citation needed. ]

barring the council making me insane, I think I can keep that request in mind
