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:

What kind of things do you read? Isn't learning enjoyable?

[nilhilistic]

I enjoy horror stories, but right now, I'm studying technology and progress in this world and other worlds like it.

[skelters]

Horror stories???
Um, I'm not sure if I want to ask about that ...

[nilhilistic]

[ lmao. ]

Fictional stories. It amuses me. No real monster could compare to me.

[skelters]

Even if you are, imagination is still plenty scary too, you know.

[nilhilistic]

Perhaps.

All my fears were realized. So it is no longer an issue.

[skelters]

I see ...

Normally I'll say something about let's prove it, but I don't think that's entirely appropriate here.

[nilhilistic]

I would not mind. I enjoy testing my mettle.

[skelters]

Hmm. I heard scary movies are pretty good ... Maybe we could pick one and try it?

[nilhilistic]

[ okay. now he's baffled. ]

But you would hate that.

[skelters]

But I might not!

[ he would hate it ]

[nilhilistic]

You most certainly would. Why would I put someone through that experience?

[ as if he hadn't bullied vash today but still. rafal doesn't see the point of . . . torturing people in dealing with him. he's not made for this. for companionship. he's learned that. ]

[skelters]

Because you said you enjoy it! And it's always fun with more people, no?

[ excuse me, as if he doesn't bully vash all the time (and vash walks right into them). ]

Besides, I've always wanted to do that! Watch a movie!

[nilhilistic]

In theory.

Then surely there is someone more acceptable to watch movies with?

[skelters]

You've never tried it, have you?

Maybe. But I'm asking you to watch one with me.

[nilhilistic]

No. I never had anyone I was close to, except for my sister. And she had . . . friends.

[ he no longer resents the four winds like he had before. back then, it simmered like a heat wave. that nel could cast off being a fell dragon, fall in love, be powerful, be herself while rafal had to be the simpering, cowardly nil. no one could know him. he could never risk it. the fear was too great.

if only they knew what I was worth, he used to think. and it poisoned the well of his heart.

now he knows. he was always worthless. pretending otherwise had been foolish of him from the start. ]

Why?

[skelters]

Well then, what do you have to lose by trying it out with me?


I used to have someone, too. He liked westerns, and I thought it was so boring ... but my brother never got sick of them.

[ it's always hard to talk about nai. talk about them as they had been back then. ]

I just want to watch more movies, so I can find one that he'd find boring too, and make him watch it with me! That's only fair!

[nilhilistic]

I suppose it is.

Very well. I will pick one and so will you. To balance it out.

[skelters]

[ does this mean rafal will watch TWO movies with him???? ]

Haha, alright! That sounds good! :-)

[nilhilistic]

A movie of your own choosing, I mean.

What would you choose?

[skelters]

Hmm, I'll have to think about that!
I haven't watched a lot, so I don't know which one I think you'll enjoy! :-)

[nilhilistic]

Why do that?

If I pick one that I will enjoy, you should pick something you would enjoy.

Isn't that more equitable?

[skelters]

If you put it like that, I suppose so...
But I'd rather you enjoy it too! :-)

[nilhilistic]

I prize fairness over my own enjoyment.

[skelters]

You sure are conscientious.
Alright, I promise I'll pick one that I enjoy [ TOO ]How about that?
