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:

...

I think I should go and tell the person who said that to him.

[sinningtree]

Perhaps more caution is in order.

[Yukina, you're going to get them in trouble! He'll just make sure the rest of their conversation is private, though. Don't mind him...]

Truthfully, it may be for the best coming from you.

[thenicerone]

[She didn't mean for them to get into trouble!!]

To be honest, I don't mind telling him. It's all a big misunderstanding.

I don't want to get Scott upset. However, I also don't want Hiei to be mad either.

[sinningtree]

An entirely preventable one, at that. I'm afraid Hiei will not budge on his position, however, the last thing he wants to do is control your actions. What information you choose to provide to others is entirely up to you.

[He can say this with confidence because Hiei said as much, himself. Which he will learn was a mistake.]

[thenicerone]

[For a moment, she didn't reply. As she stared at the message, there was something she had been thinking about. However, she didn't know when a good time would be or not. With that, she might as well.]

...Kurama, can I ask you something? You know Hiei more than I do so why? Do you know why he doesn't want to acknowledge I'm his sister?

[sinningtree]

Unfortunately, I can not say. He does have a way of committing to a decision even to his own detriment, but if you truly wish to stop avoiding the subject, you will have to be more direct with him.

[thenicerone]

I suppose so. But I just don't want to upset him if I do.

[sinningtree]

and what of your feelings?

[thenicerone]

...

To be honest, I'm upset. To know that he is refusing to accept it is hurtful. However, if he doesn't want to say anything, I'll have to manage.

[sinningtree]

and why, exactly, is that?

[Yukina, stop fridging yourself to protect his feelings. ]

[thenicerone]

He's my brother. I don't want to upset him.

[sinningtree]

do you think he would be happier to know he's responsible for your suffering?

[thenicerone]

[And then there was a very, very, very long pause on her end.]

No, he probably wouldn't.

However, I'm not sure what else I can do for him to acknowledge it.

[sinningtree]

As I said, you will have to be direct, he can only keep avoiding it if you permit him to. I am afraid there are things that I simply can not assist with.

What have you done so far?

[thenicerone]

[Again, there was a long silence on her end.]

I'm afraid not much.

[sinningtree]

[He knows she talked to him about it, he was told that it came up, and confirmed by both of them. Still, he didn't have the full details of just how it went down.]

During the glitches a few months ago, didn't you speak to him about it? I'm afraid I don't know what was said, but perhaps you could try revisiting the conversation now that things have calmed down since that incident.

[thenicerone]

Yes but...

It seems that doesn't want to talk about it or wants to bring it up.

[But it looks like she just had to flat out tell Hiei, didn't it?]

[sinningtree]

yet, it seems that you do.

[thenicerone]

...

I do. And you're telling me to go and tell him anyway.

[sinningtree]

unless you are content to continue on this way, indefinitely.

[He will not meet you halfway, Yukina. Better learn that sooner than later.]

[thenicerone]

...You really want me to go and talk to him.

...I suppose I don't have a choice but to now.

[sinningtree]

What truly matters is what you wish to do. If you want the relationship between you acknowledged, you must be the one to bring it up. No one else should make that decision for you or act on your behalf.

[thenicerone]

Then...I'll let you know how it goes.

I'll talk to him. I just hope it ends well.

[sinningtree]

I'm certain things will be fine.

[For you, he's probably going to get chewed out.]

[thenicerone]

Okay.

...Whatever happens, don't be mad at him.
