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:

[incorrigibles]

oh
huh, yeah, might be

faster, yeah. smarter? jury's still out

[manifestering]

Scalding
Surely some of our fellows are
generous

[incorrigibles]

good thing ghosts can't feel temperature, innit

i bet you'll find a few volunteers. is it the same as going to donate blood or...?

[manifestering]

Actually
Now that you mention it




No you are correct this time about that one

Frankly I require very little blood for the process
Easier than donating blood

[incorrigibles]

soooo that's one point to me

out of, what, four?

right, well. i'll let you know if i come across a volunteer

[manifestering]

I was not keeping score

Thank you though even if you are being sarcastic

[incorrigibles]

hey, i can mean it AND be sarcastic at the same time

i've got many talents

[manifestering]

Thank you for being genuine in your mockery then
?

Is this the talent you want to have
?
Personally I am unbothered

[incorrigibles]

mate, now you're just doing this to make me feel bad

i'm sorry, okay? i'm sure you've got a real good reason for the whole blood thing and i genuinely promise to help you with that if i somehow can. yeah?

but, about the talent, actually

it kind of is

told you it's many talents, so that as one of them isn't all that bad, now is it

[manifestering]

It seems bad enough to make you feel guilty
I did tell you I am unbothered
No one has volunteered any blood yet ergo I have lowered my expectations accordingly

I was not trying to make you feel bad
for the record

[incorrigibles]

oh wow

somehow that's making me feel even worse

ugh, shit, well if you can't find any volunteers anywhere else... let me know

[ is he genuinely considering finding some iron so he could actually bleed for Science? yeah, don't look at him, ]

[manifestering]

Now you are just being impossible to please

[Anyway, what?? Weird offer, fellow dead person. Not that he's about to say noooo, don't trouble yourself, but rather-]

I do not know if the blood of a fellow ghost would help
as it were
You bleed
?

[incorrigibles]

not the only one being difficult here, am i

well, i don't know that either

but, yeah. under some specific circumstances

[manifestering]

I have never been difficult

What circumstances
?

[incorrigibles]

sure, mate

look

as someone pointed out to me, not exactly smart to advertise your weaknesses on a public network

[ thanks, silco!! ]

[manifestering]

Oh
I was not expecting any of these people to be interested in my personal conversations

[Read: because he's not interested in theirs, heyooo--]

You can tell me in person

[incorrigibles]

me neither, honestly

[ but he's trying to be more careful!! or something. ]

yeah, why not

if i'm gonna try it to help you with

actually, what is it exactly you're trying to do?

[manifestering]

No I will not accept your circumstantial blood
Be reasonable
I merely want to know the details

I am aiming to make manifest a vessel for myself
A golem functionally

[incorrigibles]

right

well, i guess if you're a scientist or something, you would

also, i'm sorry, what the fuck. a golem

no you know what this is probably another one of those doesn't translate between worlds things, i'm gonna believe that

[manifestering]

[He's gonna......Explain Anyway(tm)!!]

A flesh container for the tattered remains of my soul to inhabit for a certain number of hours until its integrity collapses yes
A golem
So it is not anything nefarious you see

[incorrigibles]

and that's....... better than being a ghost?

like, does it help? since you said you had to bind your soul somehow

so is the golem thing to do with that? so you don't have to, i don't know, maintain the binding thing

[manifestering]

If you mean in a technical sense then no not precisely
It is fundamentally a stopgap between what I am at present and a truly living body
But people tend to be less rude to a man who looks solid all the way through
And it makes me feel better on a personal level
as a bonus

[incorrigibles]

yeah but

if there's people who're rude to you just cause you don't look solid, well, then they're assholes.

if it makes you feel better then it's fine though, that's plenty of reason for it

[manifestering]

Oh not to worry
Convenience is my priority when it comes to that sort of thing
explaining it all is tiring you must agree

The emotional stability is solely for my own benefit

🎀

[incorrigibles]

i guess it is... but still.

well, good luck with the whole golem thing. and let me know if there's anything i can do to help.

[ a kind of a weirdo this guy may be, but he is a fellow ghost... so! that counts for something. ]
