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:
This month, if players reset their profile, they will have a list of their choice of questions to answer:
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:
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.

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

[ And weird Human intuition, but he isn't getting into that or the fact he also has hunches sometimes. He does like that about others, because it is everything he cannot allow himself to be for a variety of reasons which are very fucked up actually. dwbi. ]
The history is extensive, [ he says, a touch dry. ] I shall summarize: as said previously, we are a people of logic and reason. These are our tenets and the core of our philosophy as brought forth by Vulcan's greatest mind many hundreds of years ago. It is he who founded our society as it now is.
[ Which was roughly equivalent to the 1960s on Earth back in 312-ish on Vulcan when this was founded, so take that as you will. ]
My thanks, Miss Toph. However, your encouragement is not necessary; I request only that you temper my directives as needed.
[ He's brutal, in other words. He runs a tight ship literally and figuratively down in the Science Department. He's fair, sure, but he expects people to be focused. ]
no subject
[ Toph doesn't get hung up on semantics, which is no doubt a great asset to being friends with Spock. If he wants to call it pattern recognition instead of Toph getting to know him, she doesn't care. ]
Thanks, because I wasn't asking for a history lesson. I'm interested in what it means to you, not in what some guy from a hundred years ago said it's supposed to be. What does being "a people of logic and reason" actually mean?
[ Being blunt also means she doesn't hold back when she has personal things to say. Enjoy that one. ]
You want me to rein you in? [ Toph snorts. ] I think you want to pick somebody else for that job. I guess I can drag you away to take breaks sometimes. [ She's a merciless taskmaster herself, but not at the expense of having some fun in her life. ]

Anyway, there's a faint exhalation after a few moments of what appears to be him trying and failing to think of how to put this. One could consider it a sigh, but it is hard to say if it is based in frustration or exasperation. And it is harder still, to mark what precisely what it is directed toward. ]
As you've said, [ he says, finally and at length. ] Control over the self, control over one's presentation. It is as much cultural as it is... [ Ugh. ] Individual.
[ He thought it was implicit, but she's really out here making him say it, huh. Why does he like people who call him out again (oh right). ]
Not as such, [ he clarifies, though his tone suggests he's all too eager to veer from the prior topic if one knows him well enough. ] More, I request only that you inform me when your employee requires respite.
[ He wouldn't listen to her about that, that's correct. He only ever listens to Jim. And even then. He just doesn't want to make her employee less inclined to listen to her instructions. ]
no subject
[ She means this rhetorically. Toph, of course, has no idea of the inherent irony of her saying that in this moment. Admittedly, for Toph, whether or not they fit into a Human or Vulcan concept of friendship doesn't really matter to her. If she feels they're friends, and Spock feels they're friends for whatever given definition, what does it matter?
People get way too hung up on details. Maybe she should call him Mr. Semantics instead. ]
Thanks for answering, anyway. But being in control doesn't mean you can't do things, it just means you have to do them on purpose.
[ Toph is indeed a natural at control, so she sounds authoritative when she shoots that back. ]
Sure, I can do that. Not that I'm gonna. But hypothetically, sure. [ Sha-Ming can defend himself. Also she's still a little mad he just didn't tell her where he was for over a week. ]
