OKCINDR POST #3

[expiationmods]

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 September 3rd, characters randomly look back at their tablets to see the following:

OKCINDR PROFILE RESET #3
PLEASE RESET PROFILE

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

What do you look for in a "relationship?"
Do you see through time?
When you stare into the void, is it the correct universe's infinite abyss that stares back?
Please define: existential crisis
How do you justify the color pink?
Does the data not corrupt exquisitely
Do do do does does does ththth e
Does the
Does the
Dies
data
done one one zero one

Additionally, this month, misfires on the meme are much more likely, whether it's a character who wouldn't post their own profile, or comments on other top levels.

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:

that's not what i meant
it's just
doesn't it freak you out at all, the way this council doesn't actually seem to give a crap about the crime stuff and instead throws parties and tosses up dating profiles, all while things keep getting messed up worse and worse?
it's felt like bullshit from day 1

[fieldtrip]

Why do you think the council's doing it?
Just because somebody has a title doesn't mean they know what they're doing or that they have any actual authority
I don't think they do shit around here, honestly

[fieldtrip]

You're honestly hilarious

[avitus]

the council and jerry were the ones people mentioned when i first showed up and asked around

[that's. a way to describe 'waving the welcome robot in people's faces and yelling' but okay, yusuke.]

i mean you're not wrong, plenty of people with titles are totally useless, but nobody else has exactly shown their face either
even if it's not them, though, someone's out there yanking our chain and it pisses me off

[nilhilistic]

It being the technology here. It thinks like us.

[nilhilistic]

I'm not sure.

Probably what I am and my fighting skills.

[jaganshi]

You would think so.

[manifestering]

Shame
You could have aided in my research

[Voluntold and dismissed in the same instant, congrats Charles.]

Do you know anyone who would donate blood
for alchemy
?

[manifestering]

I prefer to work behind the scenes
The spotlight is
not for me

[Leaving aside that he's dead and all of that, limited functionality and so on - interacting?? Publicly??? Enh...]

Perhaps if someone were to help me

[moochobliged]

to cook ramen with the tasty parts...? i can cook over a campfire, but that's about it!

let me taste test your cooking from now on and we'll call it even.

[followyourstar]

[...]

[They see where this is going.]

I can help with some things, but I do still need to get a job... We both should.

[Can ghosts get jobs?]

[manifestering]

[Please don't make him do customer service. But yeah it's absolutely going where it seems like it's going, tee hee. To wit:]

Perhaps if someone were to help me get a job

[avitus]

I mean, it was kind of a spur-of-the-moment thing!

[He has learned A Little. He had an entire thought about traps, even! Unfortunately a little is still not very much.]

You were out and Hiei was napping at the time, and he'd toast my ass if I got Yukina involved...

[But again, he only really thought about it a little.]

Things weren't falling apart before, though. It seemed like a good time to try it and see if we could find some answers about what was going on.

[followyourstar]

[They shouldn't.]

[They really shouldn't.]

[They have their own problems.]

[...]

Okay, so... What did you normally do with your alchemy? What kind of things can you make aside from golems?

[Maybe this will help them get a job too. They tell themself.]

[fleetcaptain]

Reasonable terms.

It's a big galaxy! What about a guy who's entered interstellar space? Or left the alpha quadrant? Surely we can give Zefram Cochrane, the inventor of warp travel, the title of space guy.

[skelters]

Of course I did! :-)

[nilhilistic]

[ of course, he says. ]

Why bother?

[skelters]

Because ... I'm happy if you're happy?

[nilhilistic]

Is it that simple?

[skelters]

It's as simple as you'd like it to be!

There's really no need to make it complicated, I think. That just confuses things.

[nilhilistic]

[ he wonders about that. feelings like those feel far more confusing. his father would have snuffed him out for expressing it. if not him, then a sibling. ]

Why does it matter if I'm happy or not?

I don't deserve it.

[manifestering]

[ :))) ]

Concoctions
Decoctions
I was an inventor before diverting to alchemy
Mechanics and so on

[fieldtrip]

What's that supposed to mean

[fieldtrip]

Right you're a huge dragon
What are the fighting skills?

[fieldtrip]

They're the faces we get to interact with which makes me think they're useless

Apparently it's a computer and I think we're in something like a spirit world
Don't ask me what that means but the STEM guys could probably explain if you asked them
