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:

did you have to hide your powers back home? is there anyone else like you?

There isn't anyone else like me aside from my cousin Kara. We're the last of our kind left.

I've had to hide my powers ever since I first got them as a kid. I still have to hide them, but...at least now I have more people I can be open about them with.

[...Oh, oh wow. Okay, time to be a little more serious.]

You don't have to hide them here, but I get feeling kind of weird about it at first. It was kind of like that for me when I initially popped in this world, although luckily back home, people have mostly been accepting of mutants and our powers. Took years though.

[And honestly, from what he's heard about in the other timelines, he's not sure how long it will last. He can hope that it does though. Maybe the X-Men won't be needed.]

Back home, a lot of people know Kara and I are aliens, but that's about it. We only have a few people close to us who know more details than that.

Though the public opinion on us has...kind of gone up and down, I guess. I haven't been Superman for very long, but still.

[So Clark's an alien... sweet. He's already way more cool than that other alien here, the one that looks like an elf and talks like a robot. Yep, he's found his new favorite alien.]

Wait, you call yourself 'Superman' back home? So, you're a superhero. Fight crime with your powers, save people. That kind of thing?

Yeah. Did I not mention that?

[Clark was kind of emotionally compromised when he and Scott first met, so who knows.]

Though the "Superman" name wasn't my idea. Someone started calling me that and the name just kind of stuck.

we didn't quite get there.

kind of a bold name. like you can really go around saving everyone.

Well, that's generally what I do. Or at least, I tend to go around helping people as much as I can.

Edited 2024-11-20 03:39 (UTC)

despite being an alien, you go around using your powers to help others. alright, not bad, kent.

and hey, you're the not only superhero in this place. we got like three different spider people, you can't miss them.

Well, I do my best.

I've met one of the spider-people already. Gwen Stacy. Or Spider-Woman, I guess?

yeah, that's one.

the other two are spider-man. yeah, both of them are spider-men. parallel universe and everything, actually, all of them are from what I know. hope you're familiar with that concept.

I'm familiar in passing. I know there's a lot of different versions of me out there, though I've never met any of them.

And there are enough different versions of my girlfriend that they've formed a whole League of Lois Lanes, apparently.

heh, seriously? i'm starting to think it's a superhero thing now.

how much trouble are you if they decide to chase after you?

It just might be.

Apparently not all of those Loises like me very much, so...some trouble, actually.

[Considering how they shot him with a gun loaded with Kryptonite and all.]

that sucks man. but that's how parallel universes work sometimes.

[Even though it sounds like he's with Jean Grey in every universe. Maybe there's a couple out there where she hates him or they just remain friends. He hopes it's the latter.]

but guess that means you're lucky since the lois you're with likes you.

Yeah. Honestly, I just try to focus on the universe I live in. It's easier that way.

We've had our rough patches, but yeah, she likes me. And I like her a lot, too.

i hear you there man.

and wow talk about mushy.

but okay, you know i have to ask you this. what kind of powers do you have? i remember you being really strong and able to fly from the memory stuff and everything.

Maybe it does sound mushy, but I mean it.

[Clark loves his girlfriend and he means every mushy word he will ever say about her. Sorry, Scott.]

Well, I've got a bunch...I have super-speed, heat-vision, super-hearing, x-ray vision, ice breath, and apparently I don't need oxygen to survive in space.

holy shit man.

[This dude sort of sounds unstoppable?? Guess he lives up to the name 'Superman.']

wait wait, you actually have heat vision? you can shoot beams from your eyes?

[Clark's the first superhero he's met that has something even remotely similar to the powers he has.]

Yeah, I can. It's pretty good for welding metal back together if a structure's been damaged.

[Clark does use it offensively, but only in a particularly intense fight.]

so you can help repair buildings after a day of crimefighting. nice.

i got eye powers too. optic blasts, purely concussive though.

Really? You're the first person I've met with that kind of power aside from Kara.

same here.

i thought i was the only one that had eye beams and i've been here for a year and a half. about damn time.

so you can fully control them and everything??

At this point I can, yeah.

Honestly, it's only recently that I've managed to get a good handle on my powers. And I still tend to break stuff if I'm not paying enough attention.

how did you learn control?

i'm. still working on mine.

it's sort of why i'm always wearing sunglasses.
