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:

Definitely not. It seemed like pretty normal things to me, but this ended up being the summary. I can't change it, either.

okay i have to ask now, what did you type?

don't worry i'm an expert when it comes to this.

I'm usually okay with technology, so I don't think it was my fault. Seems like there's been a few issues with other people's posts.

I typed

I wrote

It was

Oh, come on.

Edited 2024-11-08 12:14 (UTC)

and you aren't punking me either?? that's weird.

unless you like typed something super X rated which okay man.

[He's never seen someone try to do that and he doubts Riku was going for that, but teasing.]

Yeah, the really explicit tale of trying to introduce myself properly.

i'll help you out still.

scott summers. and you're riku? since that's the only part that made it through.

Hi, Scott. Yeah, that's me. Everything written there is true, there's just... a lot less than expected.

Should've been more like

Or maybe

This is ridiculous.

okay, this is a pain.

so, you can't say where you're from? or your hobbies?

it won't erase you saying 'yes' or 'no' to that, right?

Tried both, no luck.

I hope it'll let the yes or no through. Is it trying to make me come off as mysterious, or annoying?

both, i think. but alright, let's start with some basics.

are you from earth?

do you like arcades? movies?

No.

Yes and yes, but it's been a while for both.

wait, seriously? so, i'm talking to an alien. nice.

an alien that still plays video games and watches movies. not bad.

i think we can get along.

Aren't we all aliens here, kind of? I'm human, though, if that makes a difference.

Sure. The help was useful.

Where are you from?

dude, don't make this sound boring. but you're just a regular human? no abilities or anything?

earth. a lot of people are around here, just different timelines and crap.

I have some abilities. Magic and stuff.

Must be a really big world if there's that many people coming from there.

magic, huh? you'll fit right in.

i guess so? definitely more people there than like jupiter or whatever, even though it's much larger in size. or maybe we just don't know that aliens really do live there. haven't heard of anyone from that planet still.

So I've heard. Sorry it's not as interesting as being an alien.

Guess there has to be worlds out there with no people.

uh, definitely. there's probably a lot of uninhabitable planets.

is this your first time in a new world? it's mine. pretty sure i'm the only one from my version of earth, so here i am, representing.

[If this is even a different world?? It's a simulation, but where is it at? Oh well, thoughts for later.]

No, it's not my first time in a new world.

[ it's not even his first time in a simulated world, though he'd only popped into that one for a few moments, all of them unpleasant. ]

Do you have extra abilities, then? Since you kinda made it sound like you do.

huh, really? please tell me you have a spaceship back home.

yeah, i shoot beams out of my eyes. i'm what's known as a mutant and there's others around here like me, but i'm the only one with the eye blasts.

...yeah, I do. Almost forgot since it wasn't how I got around for a long time, and it actually belongs to my best friend, but I'm borrowing it.

So mutants can have a variety of powers?

wait wait, how did you normally travel around? are you implying that you didn't use a spaceship to travel through space?

yeah, pretty much. think of a power, and there's probably a mutant out there that has it.

It's kind of complicated to explain, but I skipped the space part. A lot of my friends can't travel that way, though, so recently the ship's sort of become a taxi service :)

That's interesting. Do you train together, even with all those differing abilities?

so. did you use magic to travel?

we do. we're actually a team, so we have to get used to each other's abilities, know our strengths and weaknesses, in order to be our best. with how dangerous things can be around here, it's important.

Sort of. Not exactly magic. It was a lot faster than the ship, though.

Even you're the only one from your "earth", there's other mutants like you, then? That's good. Having a team to back you up's a useful thing.
