OKCINDR POST #4

[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 November 3rd, characters randomly look back at their tablets to see the following:

OKCINDR PROFILE RESET #4
PLEASE RESET PROFILE

This month, if players reset their profile, they will have a list of questions to answer:

What is forgiveness?
Can a criminal ever really be forgiven?
should you be forgiven?
Is a crime ever justified?
How do you justify your crime?
Can you forgive someone who's wronged you?

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:

[manifestering]

What is forgiveness?

Personal opinion

Can a criminal ever really be forgiven?

I preferred the prior entity
She had a more agreeable ignorance of human nature

Should you be forgiven?

I have done nothing criminal

Is a crime ever justified?

Sophistry

How do you justify your crime?

I was murdered and am subsequently owed recompense
Again not a crime

Can you forgive someone who's wronged you?

Never in a hundred thousand lifetimes

mate

why is this the first time you're mentioning board games, you've been holding out on me

[manifestering]

I was not yet bored enough
No pun intended
But I suppose I was beginning to miss checkers

[incorrigibles]

that's fair

it is something to pass the time, innit? when you don't sleep there's a lot of time to pass

anyway, you want someone to play against, i've got you

[manifestering]

Not sleeping does not trouble me much
Does it trouble you
?

And
First I will need a board game

[incorrigibles]

not really, most of the time at least

just gets a bit boring if you've got nothing to do and no one else is awake

oh right

[manifestering]

I suppose being alone for so long did acclimate me to the emptiness of nighttime hours

I will find a board game

[Read: he will make Vash Dante someone find him a board game.]

[incorrigibles]

[ let him take like thirty seconds to be sad about his backstory again — ]

well, if you start feeling the emptiness, just let me know, i'm not gonna be asleep

whether it's for board games or whatever

i'm not great at alchemy but i do know some shit about mixing potions

[manifestering]

Considerate as always
Should I manifest some checkers you will be first to know

What kind of potions do you mix
?

[chimericalclaw]

That's quite the repertoire, Mr. Howe. What sorts of things have you accomplished with alchemy?

[Not revivification yet, he's assuming.]

[manifestering]

Myriad concoctions and decoctions
And my vessel
Although it lacks self-sustaining systems and lasting integrity
A work in progress

[chimericalclaw]

I was hoping to get an idea of what these concoctions could do, if you wouldn't mind explaining to someone unfamiliar with the field. Perhaps you could contrast it with what chemistry is capable of?

I'd assumed something along those lines regarding a vessel, given your lack of solid form when we met. I wish you luck, however. [he doesn't but he can be polite.]

[manifestering]

You might think of alchemy as chemistry but with a dash of magic
And truthfully by trade I am an engineer
Ergo my catalog of alchemical products centers mostly around my vessel
I suppose I once mixed up a preventative hangover remedy for an acquaintance

Thank you

[chimericalclaw]

So it's more of a secondary discipline that became directly relevant? I see.

[He decides not to pretend explain that magic is only fictional where he comes from, meaning the description gives him very little information. The pains of coming from separate worlds with separate rules, he supposes. Annoying.]

Have you found an adequate place to do your work here?

[manifestering]

More or less yes
My parents were magicians
My brother and I preferred the physical sciences
But one picks up on things regardless

I have found [a hovel,] some space for now

[chimericalclaw]

Of course.

[Mental notes taken: a decent enough connection to family. Unlikely to become relevant, but he'd rather focus on that than anything about his own family.]

It sounds like you could use something better, when you put it that way. I've been looking for something of a laboratory myself, and I'd be happy to let you know if I find anything that would suit you, if you're willing to tell me what that might include?

[manifestering]

Ample storage space
Refrigeration capabilities
A very big table for miscellaneous projects
Fume hood
The rest of the furnishings I would handle myself
Additionally a window with a nice view

[humandispel]

Yo, you're looking pretty spry for a 61 year old!

I got a question though. Why are you interested in revivification?

Also do you like chess

[manifestering]

Thank you
I am dead however

This answers your first question
As for the other I prefer checkers
I do not dislike chess

[humandispel]

You're dead? Congratulations! What does it feel like?

Checkers works. We should play together sometime!

[manifestering]

No
I disagree
Unless you would like to try again with more tact

[humandispel]

Awww. Fine.

Would you please play checkers with me sometime?

[manifestering]

I will consider it
I do need to receive my checkers board first
It is being fetched

[humandispel]

You have someone to fetch it for you? Fancy.
