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:

How do you know it was not my intention all along to lead you to offer

[Ha ha, no, he knows. This, too, is /japes]

If you would like to
You are welcome to manipulate whomever on my behalf

[computation]

That would be manipulative and we wouldn't be having this conversation if that was the case. 🥰

And that's why we're friends! Because I'd do it anyway but it gets so awkward when somebody is uncomfortable with it.

[manifestering]

Then we are both so fortunate that I have so little interest in playing the game
Or whatever
And that you seem to enjoy it

[computation]

Sure, I'll be your PR rep!
Let me handle any questions about your undead army 🧟‍♀️🧟‍♂️🧟‍♀️

[ she is not joking. this is not /japes ]

[manifestering]

Please do not encourage the undead army nonsense
I will never find any volunteers

[computation]

How many more do you need? Real question. Don't say you need to stock up again -- that's how you get the insinuations of mad scientist villainy.

[manifestering]

Living people are so sensitive and self-centered
Two will do I suppose

[computation]

Be honest, were you like this before you died?

Two more coming right up.

[manifestering]

Like what
I admit I had more patience
I also had local renown

[computation]

Hard to imagine you didn't think people were sensitive and self-centered before.

Renown for what?

[manifestering]

I did
However I had a life to live besides

And my parents were skilled magicians in the field
My brother and I were prodigies
Prior to murdering me my business associate contributed wealth and reputation

[computation]

So you can manipulate people if you want, you just don't care enough to do it anymore?

[ She wonders if that means he spent years trapped in a room with no clue what happened to his family as they aged and died. Root does not ask that. ]

How's that work exactly? Like running a business or more like being an academic? Trying to picture what kind of groupies you had.

[manifestering]

Not quite
Meaning
I have not really tried
My brother and business associate were more suited to being the front man
In various endeavors

For me it was professional academia
I have even given lectures

[computation]

Oh so you've always had a patsy for human interaction. I know a guy like that.

Grad student groupies wanting you to be their dissertation advisor, got it!

[manifestering]

Well not my brother
The other however yes

I admit I did not notice any "groupies" but I suppose it could have been possible
