expiationnet | OKCINDR POST #4

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:

Interesting. It's actually quite interesting.

Maybe I'll use that equation to calculate my age from now on, or maybe I'll just tell a convincing lie.

Edited 2024-11-03 17:15 (UTC)

Well it is only a number
A lie would invite less speculation from people like me I suppose

It would but humor me, how old do you think I look?

Let me look again
Fifty or thereabouts I would say

Fifty? Really?

I was thinking more like forty-five, to be honest.

Forty-five is close to fifty
4.5x10¹ if you prefer

Although forty-five is close to fifty, it is still five years away from the big 5-0!

Now put the equations away unless you want me to guess your age. I'm lingering around 7.5x10 because you speak like an old know-it-all!

For someone apparently older than the rest of our dreams or some such you are quite sensitive about it

And no
I am 61 but only on a technicality
I am actually dead

Just because I'm older than most living beings, that doesn't mean I like being called "old."

[It's as simple as that, really.]

You're technically dead? My goodness! And here I thought I was the only one endowed with such miraculous abilities.

Tell me, what is your secret?

I would not say fifty is old

No I am actually dead
The technicality is the 61
It includes my time after death

I would normally say that's impossible but clearly it's not.

So the dead are among the living here? Interesting.
Is there a reason for this, or is it just an accepted fact?

Here it does not matter much I suppose
We are all prisoners regardless
At home the reason is I refused to shuffle off into nothingness
It is quite unnatural actually

Prisoners, huh? I prefer to think of myself as a "guest."

The idea of being anyone's "prisoner" is laughable, just as you refused to visit the fictional pearly white gate of the afterlife.

Salient point
It is however how we are viewed here
Regardless of calling us Chosen or whatever else
We are here to be rehabilitated from our dastardly criminal ways

Rehabilitation? Who needs that when you are already "perfect"?

I believe someone has confused me with someone else. I do not need to repent for anything, nor do I intend to.

I doubt most of us are actually guilty of anything
And yet here we are

Exactly my point. This whole idea of "rehabilitation" sounds like complete horse shit.

A convenient excuse for a would-be kidnapper.

What do you think we would be kidnapped for
Personally
As a dead person
I do not see what value I could be ransomed for or similar

Horrifying experiments? Someone's nasty little fetish? Or maybe they need extra organs? After all, you're dead.

I'm surprised they haven't cut off your dick yet.

...

Or did they?

Oh
My failure to mention
I am a spectre actually
Not a corpse

That said no
All spectral pars of me remain intact

Wait a minute, you're a ghost? An actual ghost?
One of those nasty little haunters always screaming about the lives they lost?

Well, shit! How come you can't escape from here?!

Yes and no I suppose
I do not haunt
Or scream

How do you imagine I am getting out of here exactly

I don't know. I used to believe that you haunters appeared and disappeared at will. Or perhaps temporarily take over a living person in the hopes of escaping?

In some ways, you're similar to us arkanas.

Again I do not haunt
Nor do I possess others

Do you do those things
?

On rare occasions. The body possession stuff, not the haunting.

Not unless you want me to.
