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:

[there's a significant pause, then]

i want to make a just world

[joyboys]

why'd i laugh at that? that's a really good dream

and you're gonna make it happen. if you really try, nothing's impossible

[nightwild]

i wish
i still dont know how to make it happen
for a while i thought if i wanted to make a just world i had to destroy the one we had
that didnt go well

[joyboys]

the point of a dream is that it takes a journey to get there

otherwise what's the point of having one

maybe you don't know now but you'll know!

and maybe it's enough if you just change it

instead of destroying

[nightwild]

thats what i wanna do
but i dont know how
how do you change a whole damn world
seven billion people arent gonna change overnight

[joyboys]

how?

well

you don't change it alone

[nightwild]

yeah
working on that part
i have one person with me on this

[joyboys]

[ it takes him, oh, two seconds to decide — ]

right

i've decided

you should join my crew!!

i know i can't be there to help you get to your dream in your home and you can't be there in my home but that doesn't matter. we're both here now

and i'm gonna work with you to help you find a way to change your world!!

[nightwild]

[She has to stare at this for a good while before she eloquently responds:]

what

[and, just to emphasize her point]

what

[joyboys]

what d'you mean what

join my crew!!!!

[nightwild]

i mean what
you dont even know me
i just met you
why the hell would you invite someone you barely know into a crew

[joyboys]

cause i like you!!

duh

[nightwild]

[She has. no clue how to deal with this. She's never had a social situation go like this. She's used to being hated, derided, ignored- Someone just so honestly and openly saying something like that...

... She doesn't know how to deal with it.]

you dont know me
if we meet for real you might decide you dont

[joyboys]

well then we just gotta meet for real, right?

and then you'll know

[nightwild]

yeah
that sounds good
where are you
ill meet you

[joyboys]

the old man's grill!! near the docks

i help him fish and he makes me food

just go towards the docks and follow the grilled fish smell

[ ..... incredible instructions. ]

[nightwild]

got it
ill be there soon

[and yet

it works?

idiot to idiot communication.]

[joyboys]

[ the restaurant is a small one, really not much more than a counter with some chairs, an old fisherman running it — one of the chairs is occupied by a young man in a straw hat.

he turns when the door slams shut behind fauna, and grins brightly. it's a bit like looking at the sun. ]

Hey!! C'mon, before it gets cold!

[ "it" being a pile of grilled fish on a plate — on the place next to his. that he hasn't eaten it all in this time is only thanks to the fact the old man keeps supplying him with more grilled fish when he runs out. ]

[nightwild]

[Fauna is... well, she's hard to miss. Especially when you have a picture- How many girls with fox ears are there? But she approaches.

This must be Luffy. Who else would be looking for her? And... God, that smells good.]

Well... Thanks for the food?

[Talking can wait. Food is way more important. She's just gonna start devouring as fast as she can, like she thinks it might get taken away if she doesn't eat it all right away.]

[joyboys]

[ luffy's laughter, bright and clear, fills the room — he just waves his hand towards the plate as if to say, dig in, before turning to eat more from his own plate. and yeah, maybe he'd be trying to steal fauna's food, except he's already eaten a lot before her arrival... so this doesn't devolve into a food fight.

he doesn't comment on her manner of eating, either; he can eat just as fast, after all.

instead, after a moment, he just beams at her. ]

It's good, right?

[nightwild]

[She just looks pretty astonished by the food- While she's putting away the food as fast as possible, she sure can't eat as much as Luffy.

After a minute, she has to lean back and remembers to breathe. It's like she was so busy cramming her face she forgot to.]

It is... It's been a while since I've had a good grilled fish like this. I don't think I've ever had this much in one sitting, either.

[joyboys]

[ luffy just looks at her for a while, and then, ]

Your home... you can't eat like this there?

[ his brows, furrowed, speak for how grave this offense is to him. ]

[nightwild]

My home? I don't have one.

[She folds her arms.]

... Well... I didn't. Until a couple weeks before I showed up here, anyway. But until then, I was living on the streets.

[joyboys]

[ ......... oh. ]

I guess that's fine, 's long as you weren't alone.

[ he sort of grew up in the wilderness-slash-around a giant trash heap, so, he gets it. the streets aren't the worst, but being alone? that is. ]

[nightwild]

... Depends on what you call "alone", I guess. I had... a boss, and coworkers, I guess you could call them?

[In other words, she was alone.

But she's just going to shove more fish in her face rather than really think about that.]
