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.

Yeah actually
If you have friends and you can, well, be around them, even if it's hard for you

I think that's a win, even if you're not super social
entreats: (the lit determination)

Sometimes you say stuff that's so nice that it kind of feels like you want something from me.

I didn't know that's just something people say to someone else. Out of the blue.


[ Getting compliments? For stuff that usually people never acknowledge is actually super hard for her? It's kind of mind-blowing, actually. ]

... How was your home life, Ange, asking for a friend

I don't want or need anything!
entreats: (it sort of sounds like you leaving)

[personal profile] entreats 2024-08-17 02:23 pm (UTC)(link)
I really don't think you want to know the answer to that one.

[ Because if he's being so nice, then surely it can't be anywhere near Peter's own personal experience.

And that's just going to make this conversation real depressing real quick and Ange knows it. ]
spidermenaces: (Default)

[personal profile] spidermenaces 2024-08-17 11:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Doesn't matter, anyway. You're here now with your toleratees, right? Much better?

(ange.....)
entreats: (what she can't be)

[personal profile] entreats 2024-08-22 07:19 pm (UTC)(link)
This place isn't really all that better. It's still constantly trying to hurt us.

I need to get out of here and go back home.


[ Yes, despite what she just said - or rather, implied - about her life there. ]
spidermenaces: (f9mKjRz)

[personal profile] spidermenaces 2024-08-23 09:08 pm (UTC)(link)
You said witches, right?

How's that?
entreats: (someone who reaches out)

[personal profile] entreats 2024-08-27 07:51 pm (UTC)(link)
[ A slight pause, but then a message does arrive. ]

One of them killed my family and has them now trapped in an eternal death loop.

[ And that's just the start of it, really. But she isn't sure Peter can handle the full extent of it when he always seems so cheery and nice. ]
spidermenaces: (fanGp2t)

[personal profile] spidermenaces 2024-08-29 01:31 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm sorry, Ange.

(holy shit. holy. shit. he'd hug her, if he didn't think it would work out horribly.)
entreats: (the curtains rise again)

[personal profile] entreats 2024-09-01 08:11 pm (UTC)(link)
It's fine.

[ It's not, really. But this is the shield Ange has hid behind all her life. If she doesn't act like she's fine with it, then people will exploit that weakness.

Not that she necessarily thinks Peter would, but -- old habits die hard. ]


That's just life. Sometimes it happens, and you have no choice but to deal with it somehow.
spidermenaces: (277)

[personal profile] spidermenaces 2024-09-02 10:34 pm (UTC)(link)
At least with that we are on the same boat. It's fine, but it's not fine, but it's fine, but it's not fine, yeah?
entreats: (where do i go)

[personal profile] entreats 2024-09-05 07:42 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm sorry if it's like that for you, Peter. You deserve better than that.

In my case it doesn't matter anymore, but I hope things can get better for you, at least.
spidermenaces: (39)

[personal profile] spidermenaces 2024-09-07 12:59 am (UTC)(link)
Uh, I mean. It matters, but I'm, uh,

Bit the dust
Or actually
The dust bit me

So
Yeah I mean, for me personally, I think this is kinda it
But I'm going to try my best to help us over here and see what can be done here.
entreats: (and it ain't coming down)

[personal profile] entreats 2024-09-10 06:03 pm (UTC)(link)
Wait, you died?

[ It's a clear surprise to Ange, even just across text where it lacks tone or any facial expression to help that impression along. It's just-- Peter is so normal. Usually when people here talk about being dead back home, it's because of something big like war.

No way that was going on for Peter, right? But then again, asking how someone died is really freaking weird, so she's not going to do that. ]


Maybe you can find a better place to go to. You know, if this one doesn't work out. I'm not sure how much there is to salvage here at this point.
spidermenaces: (277)

[personal profile] spidermenaces 2024-09-15 02:11 am (UTC)(link)
Genocidal ugly purple alien killed half the universe to be quick on this
But yeah. I did.


(he's not even touching the fact that part of him blames himself for it. if he had gotten that stupid gauntlet in time. if he had stopped quill. if he had been faster. stronger. something. better. he knows it's not entirely on him, but man.

he was there.)


I don't wanna be anywhere else, just here or alive at home
Gotta protect what we have.
entreats: (and it ain't coming down)

[personal profile] entreats 2024-09-21 10:54 am (UTC)(link)
You can't be serious.

[ About that last part, mind you. The first part sounds weird too, but that's very much possible out there in the multiverse and Ange knows it. Her own world would sound even stranger if she'd describe how she died back there.

No, she can believe the explanation for his death, no matter how much it aches to think of Peter as someone who has died. It's the latter thing that feels ridiculous, impossible to believe. ]


This place is awful. What reason could you possibly have for wanting to stay here?
spidermenaces: (8Jaftx9)

[personal profile] spidermenaces 2024-09-30 10:03 pm (UTC)(link)
(her, for instance. the people he has met. the people he could help. at least here, there's some sort of guarantee that he can at least make things a little easier, because he breathes here. he exists, tangibly, not as a memory nor as specks of dust.)

My girlfriend, you, my other friends, that's important to me, right? If I can help you guys and spend time with you guys, it's all good with me.
entreats: (before the daydreamlike memories)

[personal profile] entreats 2024-10-06 09:43 pm (UTC)(link)
You could go with one of them to their world, once we manage to find a way out.

Not mine. That one is awful.
[ And she's going to die soon anyway - and how could she then leave Peter behind there, all by himself? She'd never forgive herself for it. ] But surely the place your girlfriend comes from must be better, right? Couldn't you just go with her?
spidermenaces: (241)

[personal profile] spidermenaces 2024-10-11 09:09 pm (UTC)(link)
That's the thing!

If you go somewhere you don't belong, you're an anomaly, right?

So your existence is totally going to be challenged there, especially like, there are a lot of theories about how the space-time continuum work, but like, it is never a great idea to take out something from their worlds.

She can tell you a little better she has done this before
entreats: (i wouldn't even mind)

[personal profile] entreats 2024-10-14 12:33 pm (UTC)(link)
But I've done it before.

My consciousness was shoved into a different version of me from another world and I was fine.

It's happened multiple times, actually.


[ Sorry, Peter. This is clearly just a totally normal thing to mention. It helps that it does sound like he's at least a little more familiar with the concept than most people are, which makes Ange figure he might understand, even if she's mentioning it a little casually.. ]
spidermenaces: (257)

[personal profile] spidermenaces 2024-10-17 08:27 pm (UTC)(link)
... Excuse me what now

(ANGE DON'T DROP BOMBS IF YOU ARE NOT GIVING THE PLOT)
entreats: (trying to bloom in snow)

[personal profile] entreats 2024-10-23 07:16 pm (UTC)(link)
Exactly what it says! My consciousness was shoved into a different version of me from another world!

[ COME ON, PETER. Keep up! Clearly this is all very simple, very understandable. ]

That's how I traveled between different worlds back home! Just as involuntarily as we were drawn here, but still.
spidermenaces: (dDpGzxr)

[personal profile] spidermenaces 2024-10-25 01:59 pm (UTC)(link)
... Ange I don't think this is normal

But also I guess... I guess that would make it a little easier, since your body can act as a stabilizer? I don't know
I'm not an expert
Space, yes, once, multiverse? No, first time writer long time listener
entreats: (what would it be?)

[personal profile] entreats 2024-10-28 10:13 am (UTC)(link)
It's normal where I come from.

[ Only for her.

But still. ]


It's really not that weird once you get used to it. At some point I was even trying to do something nice for an alternate version of me, but it's harder than it seems.
