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:

Of course it does! It's hard, you know! A proper bed is so much nicer!

[ he feels this strongly ]

Well, you haven't shot at me or anything so far (even if we haven't met in person? dragon? yet), so I'd say it's a success at being nice!

[nilhilistic]

Again. Why would that matter?

. . . And it sounds like your standards are low. Are you saying unless I attempt to kill you, I am considered "nice"?

[skelters]

Wouldn't you rather have something comfortable?

Yeah, pretty much!
Wait, does that sound bad? I'm sorry! I'm not calling you easy, or anything!

[nilhilistic]

I will accept what I have. I do not need to seek out comfort.

I should think not. I would hate to kill someone simply to preserve my reputation.

[ rafal won't, of course. it would go against his newfound change. still . . . really. how is he nice in any capacity?! ]

[skelters]

I'm saying if you had a choice!
Wait, where do you sleep?

That is Evidence No.1 :-)

[nilhilistic]

[ if he had a choice. claude said he shouldn't be punishing himself, but he has a mountain of atonement to deal with. comfort is not a priority. ]

I have a room. It is suitable.

And this is hardly evidence of anything!

[skelters]

[ them really over here being handshake meme huh ]

Okay, you could have just said that from the beginning, you know!

It is! Definitely!!!!

[nilhilistic]

[ spiderman pointing meme. ]

Why?

Again, I fail to see why you are so concerned. About niceness and my lodgings. What is in for you?

[skelters]

So I don't worry about where you're sleeping, of course!

Can't I simply be concerned?

[nilhilistic]

[ hm. ]

Compassion exists. I admit that.

But this feels . . . odd. As though you have to be. As though if you're not . . . something falls apart.

[skelters]

The only thing that's falling apart will be your bed if you turn back into your huge self unexpectedly!

Is it difficult to switch?

[nilhilistic]

[ he dodged. ]

That is unlikely to happen.

I wouldn't know. I'm not particularly . . . compassionate.

[skelters]

[ of course! ]

So it's never happened before?

What's that supposed to mean?

[nilhilistic]

No. It's not possible. We do not switch so casually.

And it means what I said. Compassion was not encouraged in my family. It was a weakness that got you killed. Things are different now, but I am still adapting.

[skelters]

Does it take a lot of effort, then? Does it hurt?

I can't imagine what kind of things you'd be scared of to that extent ...
But that's okay, you know things will be okay!

[nilhilistic]

No. Why would it?

And that is just useless optimism!

[skelters]

Well, because you're actually so big, but this look is so small?

I don't think it's as useless as you think ...

[nilhilistic]

[ ah. then he should clarify. ]

This is my true form as much as being a dragon. They are two sides of the same coin. There is no pain.

And I think it is, considering we have not even met in person!

[skelters]

Oh, I see!!!!!

...... Maybe. It's hard to understand ... but it's alright! I'm sorry!

[ if rafal had a dollar for every time vash apologised ]

Then maybe we should! :-)

[nilhilistic]

What.

[skelters]

Meet up!
I mean, I'd love to say hi properly! :-)

[nilhilistic]

[ . . . and rafal could yell better. yelling is ineffective on these devices. ]

Fine. Where.

[skelters]

[ it's also ineffective on vash, he will just drip and be pathetic ... ]

Wait, really????

[ stay cool, vash ]

Hmm, are you still staying at the inn? Or have you found your own place?

[nilhilistic]

It would facilitate better conversation. These devices are not versatile enough.

And yes. I will be outside of the inn.

[skelters]

I totally agree! It's not the same as talking for real, right?

I'll be right there!!!!!!!!!!!
