expiationnet | 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:

I kind of want to try taking a look at everything from the highest point I can...

[Get ready for all the climbing ever.]

Hmm. Alright. Where is that, do you suppose? A clock tower of some kind?

[A clock tower with an indoor viewing floor, specifically...]

Climbing to the very roof of a clock tower doesn't seem like a bad idea.

[......wait,]

Via the stairs, of course.

Via the walls.

In the tower's interior, attached to the staircase...?

Outside the tower, climbing the exterior wall.

Respectfully, I am not doing that.

Oh, it's fine. I've done things like that many times before so I can do it alone.

I... recommend that you do not?

Why not?

The risk? The danger? You may have engaged in similar activities before, but that does not make you impervious to danger!

I really have a lot of experience, don't worry.

And there is always room to improve, which means you are not infallible. I will accompany you, but I will be observing from the ground, for safety purposes!

You're such a kind soul. Thanks.

Now that it's all settled, we can get going?

Anyone would be concerned about this endeavor...

But yes, alright. Where shall we meet?

My friends are pretty used to me doing things like that. I used to jump down from really high up places too. But don't worry, I won't do such a thing here. I don't have my wind glider.

We can meet up on the town square and go from there?

If you jump off of anything too high, I will cuff you to the nearest bench.

[In a normal way, unlike how that sounds.]

I will see you there.

Now that sounds kind of extreme. You cuff me and then? You can't keep me there forever.

[Is he pushing this? He is.]

Anyway, I promise I'm not planning to jump off anything too high.

[Planning is the keyword there.]

I'll see you soon!

Do not test me.

[Like obviously he Would Not, how uncouth, how rude, but it's the principle of the thing. Be reasonable!!]

And do not begin climbing before I arrive! I will be very cross if I find you several stories up!

[He's learning how to text and walk in real time so he can scold like this. That's growth.]

I'll be waiting patiently for you, I promise.

[He appreciates all the worry, but he definitely will be fine! Still, just as promised, he is obediently waiting for Lorenz to show up.

He's even standing further away from the tower!]

[Hmm, good enough for Lorenz to make his way there without another scolding reply, although he does eyeball the tower on his way just in case there's a little blondie up there-- aha.

He's still not too sure about this climbing thing in the abstract? Like, at all? But. He's here.]

Ah, there you are. Comfortably with both feet on the ground, and everything.

[Approval +1.....]

Aw, did you doubt me? You can rest assured that I always keep my word.

[He may be teasing and all, but promises are important to him!

Plus, he wouldn't want Lorenz to actually panic.]

[Would that he could noogie a person without it being undignified... Aether has earned it...

Anyway. He simply huffs and waves a hand, like, please! He's being perfectly reasonable, here!]

Let us see how the rest of this endeavor goes. Do you truly intend to climb?

[Fully deserved. Lorenz can mentally nudge him, that would be dignified enough.

Besides, Aether is touched how much the other is worrying about his well-being.]

Yeah. Like I said, I've done it many times before. I climbed tall mountains, towers, castles, cathedrals...

[The list goes on.]
