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:

@viktor

What is the point of this? I do not see it. Are we supposed to use this to, what, make friends? No, I would rather not.

And the questions for the survey are all subjective, which means the results will be, hm, impossible to use to draw any conclusions. They should be better picked.

But I suppose I might ask... how could one obtain a laboratory around here?

[manifestering]

[fellow weirdo sense tingling..... hey.]

Hello again
What kind of a laboratory are you interested in
?

[runeing]

[ oh good it's someone smart and relatively sane and, most importantly, someone he already knows — ]

Nothing too complex. I have worked with Hextech back home, and given that is not possible here, I will have to start again. I work with machinery, however, so the space needs to be large enough, with enough equipment. Ideally, it would be two rooms, one workshop and the other for the plans and calculations, but that may be too, hm, ambitious.

[manifestering]

[Wow Viktor, tell him that with your words and immediately become his favorite--]

A mechanical workshop
I am familiar
There are many empty spaces around town although they would require some polish
And equipment
I could point you to a viable space

[runeing]

[ he could! but he could also, you know, not. ]

Eh, one must start somewhere, no? I don't expect to have the same facilities as I did at the Academy, or at our workshop.

I'd be grateful for your help.

[manifestering]

[One of these days, Viktor--]

Yes the available spaces around here seem to be
Underwhelming
Or shared
Which is its own kind of underwhelming

Still
Let us browse the empty ones

There’s actually a group of scientists here. They call themselves the STEM club. Jim is a friend of mine, he’s one of the heads of the group. I can put you in contact with him if you’d like? I’ve visited their lab a few times, it’s rather nice.

[runeing]

I see. Sounds intriguing. I would not mind speaking to this Jim, I suppose.

[ he's still going to get a space of his own, though, because sharing a workshop with complete strangers isn't his idea of a good time, but might still be worth it to talk to these people. ]

So I'll count on you to put in a good word for me, Miss Cupcake. [ this is text, and yet the delivery is competing for the world's most deadpan award — ]

[bulleting]

I'm sure the two of you will get along well. He reminds me a little of Jayce.

[There's nothing wrong with that! But it wouldn't hurt him to make some acquaintances, especially ones that can help him acquire what he needs to set up his own lab.

Considering how long she's had the username, she really hasn't gotten that many comments on it, but it would be Viktor that does.]

Vi did that. I was being indecisive about what to make it, so she made it for me.

[She might have been annoyed at first, since she wanted to look professional on here but!! She's used to it by now.]

[runeing]

Hm, we will see.

[ but that description is enough to generate some interest; he'll make sure to search these stem people out, then. ]

Did she now? Is that a nickname?

[bulleting]

His partner is a scientist and is from another planet than him, too. They're both very interesting.

[Did she mean partner as in romantic partner or as in scientific partner? Honestly, she doesn't even know. Jim and Spock had the same "will they won't they" vibes that apparently her and Vi had.]

Yes. It something she started back home when we were still working in the Undercity. It's stuck.

[It's basically a pet name, at this point. She can't escape it.]

@stampede

[skelters]

You don't want to make friends?

[runeing]

Should I? It has not been a priority for me back home. I see no reason for it to change here.

[skelters]

Yes, but you aren't home anymore, you know?

[ sorry to be depressing ... ]

It's always nice to have a different experience, I think!

[runeing]

I do know, yes.

[ obviously......... ]

That is inevitable, is it not? There is no possible way to have the same experience twice, in life. All variables cannot be replicated exactly as they were.

[skelters]

Alright, so I can help you with that! I'll be your friend, and you can see how that is like!

[ The Vash Logic, im sorry ]

@sakura

[cupidsammo]

the questions are kinda...
weird
I don't know if I would use these for an app meant to meet people with

[runeing]

I suppose they do tell something of the way you think, but there are better questions for that.

If whoever has transferred our consciousnesses here wants us to speak of the crimes we have committed, there must be a better way for that than a questionnaire.

[cupidsammo]

is there even a good way to talk about that?
maybe there are some here that have done an actual crime or two
but I've seen some that seem more like words being twisted in all the wrong ways

[runeing]

Perhaps not. I doubt anyone is keen on discussing the matter with strangers... whether it is a real crime or not.

[ ha ha, not looking at his own, definitely not.

anyway, changing the topic, ]

Have you adjusted to this place well so far, Miss Koharu?

[cupidsammo]

oh
I think so
I have a room to stay in at least, so that gets somewhere to sleep out of the way
are you doing ok too?

un: ushiromiya

[entreats]

There is no point.

The sooner you just realize that's the answer to a whole lot of stuff here, the easier it gets to deal with it.

[runeing]

Forgive me if I don't find that particularly reassuring.

Frustrating, yes, not reassuring.

[entreats]

Don't worry. It wasn't meant to be reassuring.

Mostly because I don't think there's anything reassuring anyone can tell you about this place. We're just stuck in a shitty situation. And one that is frustrating too on top of it all, yeah. Sometimes I think this place was created specifically to be as frustrating as possible to all of us.

[runeing]

Perhaps it was.

Sometimes intuition can be correct when logic fails.
