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:

well he can also look like a cat, obviously

mate it's not a story it's my life!

afterlife

whatever





oh bollocks

i did say i'm a ghost, yeah? please tell me i said i'm a ghost

[izanagis]

If I did, I'd be lying.

Let's try this again, then. So, you're a ghost huh?

[incorrigibles]

bloody hell. sorry about that, should've started with that one

yes, i'm a ghost. charles rowland, nice to meet you and all that. died in 1989. been dead for almost thirty-five years

[izanagis]

Don't worry. It happens.
...Not specifically the ghost part, though.

My name's Yu Narukami. Nice to meet you, Charles.

That'd make it...2024 where you're from, right? It's 2011, for me. How's the future?

[incorrigibles]

oh, that's a japanese name, innit?

2011? damn, knew people come from different times, but guess i thought it's more like, either current day or super far in the past, not from the 2010s

the future's pretty brills. or it is when you're a ghost, maybe not if you're alive. might not be the best bloke to answer this, actually

[izanagis]

Coincidentally, I'm just as Japanese as my name.

[Yu what does that even MEAN]

There are a few of us, actually. Not to mention an old geezer from the 1980s. But it is pretty surprising, isn't it? The time differences are weird to think about.

So...it sounds like you like being a ghost? Or at least, don't mind it.

[incorrigibles]

[ he......... sort of expected that, really, what with the name and all, but good to have confirmation? maybe?? ]

oi! i died in 1989, what does that make me?

but yeah, guess i do. i mean, am i thrilled to have been murdered at 16? not really, but this is how it is, and honestly? it's not all that bad. met my best mate like this. and if i was given the chance to go back... not sure i'd take it, if it meant never meeting edwin.

[izanagis]

Also an old geezer. But also not. So...a paradox, maybe?

Oh. I'm sorry. [Oh my god he says that so easily??? There's so much Yu could say and ask about that, too -- could there be a whole supernatural world he's just never been aware of? That, on top of the Midnight Channel... He tries not to let his mind get too far ahead, though, pivoting instead:]

Edwin. Sounds like a friend, I'm guessing?

[incorrigibles]

[ yes hello, meet charles "will talk casually about his own death like it doesn't matter" rowland

and honestly, it doesn't, he'd much rather talk about edwin, anyway. ]

yeah! he's my best mate. met him when i was dying, and then i just stuck with him ever since then [ and since he died in '89. they've been sticking together for thirty-five years, now. ]

he's the best person i know.

[izanagis]

[OH NO, CUTE...and unfortunately relatable for Yu]

Best friends can be like that, huh?

I'm glad you have someone like that.

...Is it insensitive for me to ask if he's also a ghost?

[incorrigibles]

me too.

[ god, is he ever grateful. he doesn't think he can even put it into words. ]

nah, not at all. and you'd be right. only, edwin's from the 1910s.

[izanagis]

Being friends with someone from a whole different era must be interesting. Sounds a little bit like this place, in that way, actually.

[incorrigibles]

oh yeah, it's pretty mint. one time i made a reference to wicked and he just said "well i would hope this green witch is of no relevance to us unless she walks through that door with a case"
