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:

Feel free to ignore this. I'm only trying to prevent any nonsense from posting itself.

HELLO, DEAR FRIEND~!✨

You're looking quite well all things considered.

[chimericalclaw]

[new number who dis

Zekarion feels a headache coming on. He could probably just not answer, but somehow he feels like this man... being... whatever would hunt him down in person instead.]

Despite the odds [and certain arkana] I have managed to adjust somewhat, yes.

[erschlagen]

[Wise choice, Zek. Very wise. This man is like a fire-aspected bloodhound; Rosen would've found him.]

That's good to hear! I was worried you'd end up locked in a cage again, like a damsel in distress.

We can't have that happening again, can we?

Anyway, have you done a tour of the city yet? There's plenty of sights to behold if you ignore of its...oddities.

[chimericalclaw]

Somehow that wouldn't surprise me. I'll be more prepared next time.

[hopefully by that happening NOT near Rosen,,, but he sees you there, trying to call him a damsel. He's not taking that bait!]

I've looked here and there. It's smaller than I'm accustomed to, but unique nonetheless.

[erschlagen]

[Not taking the bait, are we? For shame!]

"Unique" is a kinder word than "bizarre". However, I prefer to call it as I see it: this place, like its people, is bizarre.

Have you tried talking to locals?

[chimericalclaw]

Understandable, though I don't believe I'd hate it under different circumstances.

[Yeah, no. Unlike some people, he has restraint!]

"Tried" being the operative word. They haven't been pleased to see us, or stay in our company.

[Granted, he may have a liiiittle bit of a cheat to win them over, but he's not giving that game away.]

[erschlagen]

They are not happy to see us, but they won’t blink when one of their colleagues is devoured right in front of their eyes.

Odd, isn't it?

[chimericalclaw]

[what

what the fuck? what has this man been up to? he hesitates to ask.]

A side effect of the nature of their existence, perhaps?

[erschlagen]

[Fufufu~]

Or maybe these "people" aren't real and this is nothing more than a dream.

[chimericalclaw]

[Meh. Does he get philosophical about it? ... why not, he supposes.]

What is real is a matter of perspective. You could consider a dream no different than a memory or skill or knowledge, in the sense of how they exist.

@stampede

[skelters]

Oh, hello again!!!!! This is Vash!! :-)
That's a good idea, considering some of the things that seems to get posted!!

[chimericalclaw]

[that's a lot of exclamation points.]

Hello, Vash.

Better safe than sorry, as they say. Arriving in a new world is difficult enough without something spreading misinformation I have to correct.

[skelters]

[ you'll get used to them zek ... ]

Though some of them have been quite fun! And informational?

For example, I learned what an otter is!

[ not the animal kind, but the other one. ]

[chimericalclaw]

[meanwhile me having just watched a livestream about sea otters—

... He knows this is a "dating" app, but.]

You considered that fun to learn, did you?

[skelters]

Oh

You don't find that interesting? :-(

[chimericalclaw]

I'm happy for you if you think so. I wouldn't call it a bore, but I was already familiar.

[He doesn't really want to get into the history and psychology of gay subcultures and identification today. Or this month. Maybe ever, depending on how much longer he lives.]

I'd like to think I can start a decent and interesting conversation without any embarrassing claims made first.

[skelters]

Sorry ... I've never heard about that before. You really know a lot, don't you?

[ don't worry, he won't understand any of that anyway ... don't confuse him and bring in more animal terms!!!! ]

What else should we talk about then? :-)

[chimericalclaw]

There's nothing to apologize for, Vash. I like to consider myself informed, but there's always more to learn.

[He doesn't particularly want to humor the question, but it would go against his outward persona, wouldn't it? But maybe he can use this to his advantage...]

Maybe you could tell me how you spend your time here?

[skelters]

[ honestly, he could easily let vash choose a topic and ramble on about it ... ]

Me?

Hmm ... Lots of things! I like helping people out, so there's usually something to keep me busy! :-)

[chimericalclaw]

[That's too vague to be helpful, sir!! Alright fine, if he's going to play it that way... This is what happens when two people who refuse to talk about themselves meet.]

What's the strangest thing you've done to help someone here?

holds your head tenderly

[skelters]

The strangest thing ... ? Hmm.

To be honest, this place is quite different to where I'm from ... so I'd say everything's been pretty strange.

[ look at these vague binches talk, rip ... ]

But! If I've had to pick one, probably setting up the festivals! The goldfish game? That was really cool!!

thank you friend

[chimericalclaw]

[Really, that's the strangest thing...? Perhaps this one is more useful for physical help than information... The childlike wonder is really leaving an impression.]

So you've been part of other celebrations here? They are a nice way to make memories, aren't they?

[thank god he doesn't have to feign his tone for that one, it would be so much effort.]

[skelters]

[ it's for the haters, he gotta be wondrous to make up for it ]

Haha, yes!
I swear they're not as strange, we don't end up in cages all the time! :-(

[chimericalclaw]

[If Altius pretends to not be a hater will Vash tone it down? Inquiring minds......]

It's good to know I had an unusual arrival. I can't say I'd wish it on anyone else. What was yours like, if you don't mind my asking?
