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:

boring.

[finalfrontiersman]

Do you want to talk?

[ Do you have something to say? feels too aggressive, but the lurch of anxiety in the pit of his stomach doesn’t let him ignore the urge to prod completely. ]

[howyouseit]

That's pizza, huh? Just looks like a big circular piece of greasy cheese.

If you say it's good though I'm down to try it out.

[howyouseit]

Dropped in a fountain? Damn. That's unlucky they must really not like you.

[opheliac]

trust me, ure going to fall in LOVE with it. its bread, cheese, with tomato sauce.

but there are other types too. there's one called pepperoni, another with sausage and mushrooms, u can put green peppers or olives or ham. just all kinds of stuff! we should have it on a special day. 🤩

[finalfrontiersman]

There’s no such thing as innocent whistling and you and I both know that.

[ Jim missed this, is that weird to say? Getting ribbed by someone who saw through his bullshit, aside from Bones. The first person to see through it. He’s not the same, but isn’t he, though? The same way Spock was and wasn’t the same. Pike, a little bit to the left though Jim is keenly aware he’s actually the one listing leftwards, the one off course. ]

We’ll just have to see who blinks first. If I were a betting man, I’d say our odds are favorable.

Let’s just say it could have been worse?

[ The archived link pops up without Jim’s doing. ]

ALRIGHT, UNCALLED FOR.

Never say die. Couple of rugrats running around. Feel like I’m getting a sense of what it’d be like with all these kids.

[ And what it is is anxiety-inducing. So much worse than Chekov. ]

[sinningtree]

centuries of solitude does not exactly lend itself to trusting easily, does it?

Ending my isolation was not a choice I made, but a necessity forced on me to ensure my survival. It was the people who later came to care about me that changed my mind.

Not that I am suggesting it will also for certain happen with you, but perhaps with time. Although it is never too late, should you find yourself open to it, we all must travel our own path.

[sinningtree]

I might hazard a guess that a blackout is hardly the worst thing that could possibly happen here.

Perhaps it is what this place truly needs.

[sinningtree]

Truly a pity.

[sinningtree]

I suppose where you're from all humans also have pointed ears.

[ Private ]

[homeostatic]

Do you?

[florescu]

Only the best, most apt ones, of course.

[fleetcaptain]

I genuinely look forward to hearing more about your sinister interpretation of the Andy Griffith Show.

[ Pike is slightly surprised by how easy it is to fall into step with someone he hasn't known very long or very well. The last time he'd met a new Jim Kirk, he'd been the one the knowledge asymmetry favored; now the dynamic is reversed, and the knowledge gap substantially widened, but things are still pretty seamless. Maybe he sees shades of himself -- a kid who's eager to push boundaries, to take on the galaxy with both hands. Pike has been that kid. Granted, Pike had been that kid with a pack of Magic cards and a copy of Nicomachean Ethics in his messenger bag. But pushing boundaries looks like different things to different people. ]

My god.

I thought you were talking about your Academy student ID photo.

Unless that was your student ID photo. In which case, I may have underestimated your bravado.

[ It definitely could have been worse. Pike hopes the AI hasn't found his junior rodeo photos. ]

No kids of your own, then?

[ That's casual. It's a completely normal thing to ask in response to Jim's statement. ]

[florescu]

for you, naturally, to lose an opportunity to impress me.

[sinningtree]

you must think rather highly of yourself.

[florescu]

of course, why would i not?

[icequeenly]

Well it’s true.

Speaking of. Will I see you in the library later?

[nilhilistic]

My trust issues have nothing to do with my solitude. It was my atonement.

I needed a thousand years to bring my sister back to life.

[avitus]

maybe i'll just eat you how about that

[skelters]

[ oh ]

uh

yes! Of course! I'll be there! :-)

[skelters]

Oh .... Sorry.


What would you suggest that's "super badass"?

[skelters]

What is it? I bet it's much cooler than 'Stampede'!

[ technically, he has one more - lucky this app didn't pick up on that one. that would be a bit awkward to explain ... ]

[skelters]

Of course she would!
A moping, sad face isn't good for anybody, you know?

Besides sweet things, what else would you like to have? I'm not too good at cooking, but I'm sure I can find stuff in the market! :-)

[skelters]

[ thank you for clarifying, otherwise he would really do it, you know? ]

Hmm, if you say it like that, I guess it makes sense ... It would make it softer, wouldn't it?
I never thought things like that were important.

[skelters]

I suppose it is a good thing ...

[ of course, unless you were keeping bad secrets, but aether doesn't seem like the sort of person who would do something like that knowingly. ]

Mine is 'Disturbing the peace' ... Not sure what it's trying to say, haha!
