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.

Blue is my favorite color, too.

Chocobos come from your world, then?
They're fascinating creatures.

You have excellent taste.

Yes. They're pretty common where I'm from.
Their speed makes them a great mode of transportation, and they can cross most terrains.
I've been fortunate enough to befriend a couple of them back home.

As do you, Miss Tifa.

I can see how they would make quite the reliable steeds with such strong legs.
We only had horses where I'm from, though...
The Faerghus horses were bred to be sturdy and stalwart like the knights who rode them into combat.

Were they bred exclusively to be ridden by knights?
They sound really impressive.
Horses are extremely rare where I'm from.
I've never even seen one before.

Not exclusively, but that was the main purpose.
They are amazing creatures though.
I will no doubt miss my own steed while away from home but perhaps can forge a bond with one here.

Is that so?
It does seem like the fauna here is... unique, in some ways.
I'll be interested in learning more.

Well if you run into any horses here, let me know.
I'd love to see one in person.
And I can give you some pointers on chocobo riding, if you decide to give it a try.

I most certainly will.

And that would be wonderful.
Hopefully, they don't seem to mind me as much as pegasi do...
