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:

only completing this time around so someone else doesn't do it for her

I do not entirely understand the benefits of completing this although I suppose it may prove to be a useful networking tool. I am co-owner of Queens casino - if you are interested in employment with us then please contact either myself or my associate, Toph Beifong if it relates to a security role.

If I'm supposed to discuss my personal interests... I enjoy fencing, literature and the music of Frédéric Chopin and Sergei Rachmaninov.

I also have something of a sweet tooth. So far my attempts at baking have mostly proven less than satisfactory...

[skelters]

Haha, are those the music that keeps playing around your office?
They seem quite relaxing!

[icequeenly]

You probably heard the piano piece Nocturne op.9 No.2.
I do find it quite soothing.

[skelters]

I'm sure you need it, you always work so hard in there! :-)
Do you know how to play it?

[icequeenly]

Not at all.
I had a few lessons as a child but nowhere near that skill level. My playing was really quite woeful from what I recall.

[ perfectionist as usual she’s probably exaggerating but music definitely isn’t a skill of hers. ]

[skelters]

Haha, have you tried playing since then? I expect you'd find it much better than what you remember!

[icequeenly]

I’ve never had the time.
Perhaps - although I’m not sure where I’d find a piano here.

Have you ever played anything?

[skelters]

Maybe next time, instead of going to the library we could maybe look for one?
I think that'll be fun!!!

[ oh no, mitsuru, don't turn this around on him!!! ]

Uh
Yeah!
It's a while ago now, so I think I've forgotten all of it!!

[startraveler]

Would you like some baking lessons? I think I know a few easy recipes.

[icequeenly]

If it wouldn't be too much trouble?

If you can help me even marginally improve on my last slightly overdone attempt I'll be most grateful.

[startraveler]

Not at all. I was helping someone else with baking, too.

Out of curiosity, "slightly overdone" means what exactly? What do you think is the main problem you have when baking?

[icequeenly]

That's kind of you.

The top is usually overly browned and/or the cake itself is too dry.
I thought perhaps my ingredients radios must be off, or the oven I'm using runs hotter than expected.

[startraveler]

That sounds like an easy problem to fix. We'll figure it out, don't worry.

[icequeenly]

I'm glad I'm not a terminal case then.

Out of curiosity, what sort of recipes were you thinking of?

[startraveler]

I can think of couple of things. One is a cake based on coffee. I'm not sure if you'd like to try that out. Another is a citrus flavoured cake with fruits.

But I can always find something else, too. I'm sure they have many interesting recipes here.

[elfsplaining]

Useful networking tool indeed, though it seems most have not written these out themselves.

How did you come to own a casino?

[icequeenly]

Unfortunately that is standard practice around here. If you don't complete this then you'll find it's been completed for you - not always accurately I might add.

My business partner assisted with investment and we purchased the existing casino business. It was in quite a state but we saw an opportunity for a lucrative business with the right care and attention.

[elfsplaining]

Interesting. And you've made it a respected establishment? Gambling dens I know of can hardly be advertised openly.

[icequeenly]

In its former state I would have certainly kept it hidden, it was in quite a state and attracted quite a few unsavory types through its doors.

But yes, we've made it a respected establishment. A lot of our regulars are our fellow Chosen.

Fencing, huh? That's dope! I've been trying to practice that myself recently. Definitely a lot tougher than it looks!

I have been learning the ways of baking too. I'm getting pretty good at whipping up some mean brownies!

apologies this is so late and feel free to ignore, i've been super sick

[icequeenly]

Yes, I'm trying my best to stay in practice. If you've been giving it a try yourself then perhaps if you're ever in need of a partner I would be pleased to volunteer and give you some tuition.

In exchange for your brownie recipe perhaps?

no worries!

[digthefuzz]

Just what I was starting to think! Sure, it sounds like a good trade. I'd even call it a sweet deal!

I'll pass on all the tips I know. And I'm sure it will be a big help to practice with someone experienced!

[icequeenly]

I do have an extra blade if you have the need and feel like using the real thing in a bout. However perhaps dummy ones to start with might be best unless I can find the correct protective gear.

[ A sweet deal? Oh god, another one who likes the lame jokes ]

Ah... Yes, a sweet deal. How apt.

[digthefuzz]

Yeah I'll fo with the dummies for now! I appreciate the offer but I'd rather start off safe and work my way up.

LOL! Great! I've got plenty more where that came from.

[icequeenly]

I appreciate your sensible approach in that case.

[ Because lord knows she knows enough people who would have jumped for the real blades. ]

You have more than one dessert oriented joke?

[ Isn't one enough?? ]
