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:

[Oh no, a recommendation? What if he recommends something this guy hates, or is somehow offensive to someone? This is too much pressure.]

i don't really have any recommendations. but the library here is real good, for both fiction and non-fiction.

i don't know how much the non-fiction matches with this world or not, though.

[startraveler]

It also makes me wonder how many of those books are actually fiction, considering how many different worlds are out there.

[solitarysoul]

that's a good point. i haven't seen anything that i know was real in my world in the fiction sections, but that doesn't mean nobody else's stories are in there.

[startraveler]

That makes it even more interesting.

Any story that caught your attention?

[He's still trying to fish for recommendations.]

[solitarysoul]

i don't know about anything in particular, but i tend to go for horror stories.

[startraveler]

Oh. Tell me more?

[solitarysoul]

i read a lot back home, sometimes we didn't have much to do to kill time so it was read or play cards usually. i guess i don't know why i like horror, it just always appealed to me.

[Possibly fitting with how he ended up.]

[startraveler]

I see. I travelled around quite a bit, so I did hear stories that were... pretty horror-like. But it's somewhat comforting when you know that it's just fiction.

[And very unsettling otherwise.]

[solitarysoul]

yeah...i guess we can't be sure of that anymore. but if we run into a vampire or something i've read about i'd know how to deal with it.

[Maybe. Hopefully.]

[startraveler]

Actually I talked with someone who seemed like a vampire. I'm still not sure if he was one, though.

Any traits I should be looking for to recognize one?

[solitarysoul]

if its who i'm thinking of he's not. or at least he says he's not.

for vampires? generally the need to drink blood and avoid the sun. and unaging, but none of us have been here long enough for that to be noticeable.

[startraveler]

The person I'm talking about also told me he's not one. His interest in keeping blood in a fridge without any cooperation with medical facilities was curious, though.

I know many unaging beings, actually. As for the other two traits, I'll keep an eye out.

[solitarysoul]

[Huh, that doesn't sound like Vincent. He's not really sure why anyone would want to do that...]

there are other things in stories that don't age or age really slowly, i guess. but the blood drinking and sunlight avoiding seems to be just vampires.

[startraveler]

Got it. Thanks for the information!

[solitarysoul]

no problem!
