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:

[Uh oh someone needs more whimsy in their life.]

Since the situation is dire it's actually the perfect time to play a funny game with trick questions! Are you ready? Here we go!

Say the word Roast ten times.

[entreats]

I'm not so sure whether this is a trick question or an attempt to eventually lure me into saying something gross.

[ Is this really fun for everyone, Gogol. Or is it just fun for you. ]

[quizpersona]

I see, I see, it's alright if you don't want to talk about what goes in a toaster.

[ See Ange? It was actually was rated G. Roast... Toast... Bread. Yeah it was a trick question. ]

Since you were already taking bets—let's take bets! What scary and unavoidable thing do you wager is up next !?

[entreats]

[ .. Oh.

She actually gets the trick question the moment she reads him saying that. That's an oddly charming trick, Gogol. She really did think it was going to end in a way that's way less savory!! ]

A nuclear bomb, maybe?

Isn't that really the only way they have left to escalate all of this even further? Anything else would just seem dumb in comparison to everything we've already been dealing with so far.

[quizpersona]

Oooh sounds tedious to clean up after! Of course, unless they're planning on ending everything off with a big BANG! Then there's no clean up required.

[...]

Now, how about this one? Why don't tortoises wear scarves?

[entreats]

Tortoises? It's got to do something with them being slow, right?

[ A pause, a typing indication, another pause, and then: ]

Wait. Don't tell me the answer. I'm figuring it out. [ Yes, she is absolutely approaching a simple little joke like it's some sort of big puzzle to figure out.

This is Ange's hobby, alright. Don't judge her. It's so much better than thinking about this place's dumb situation that she can't seem to do anything about, no matter how much she thinks about it. At least this joke can - likely - be solved. ]

Is it because they've already got shellter from the cold?

[quizpersona]

They're reeeally slow! So, it's a very good guess. But is it your final answer?

[Ange did say don't give her to answer. Who is he not to play along?]

When you think about what they're wearing you're on the right track.

[entreats]

[ She's taking this way too seriously now. There's a good few moments of nothing, and she's probably maniacally taking notes on a piece of paper.. She refuses to let a riddle best her!!

Then-- wait. ]

Is it because they're wearing a turtleneck?

[quizpersona]

🎉 🎉 🎉 🎉 🎊 🤯

🗣️📣 That's exactly right❗ What a spectacular showing of effort expended to figure it out ❗❗❗ BRAVO.

[entreats]

You know, this is more fun than OKCINDR.

Can't you mess a little with this place so the dumb regular dating thing is instead changed to riddle time? It couldn't possibly be worse than the dating profiles.

[quizpersona]

Let's see about that! Why not make it a competition between me and you?

Who ever can get more people with a riddle next time wins !

[entreats]

Are you trying to suggest something that involves me having to talk to people?
