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:
This month, if players reset their profile, they will have a list of questions to answer:
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:
If you'd like to for shits and giggles, here's some notifications that may be used:
Name (@username) followed you
Name (@username) unfollowed you
Name (@username) blocked you
Have fun! Code credit.

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?

[People keep telling him he's doing just fine at this "normal human interaction" thing, even being so out of practice, but then again—those people are fellow ghosts or criminals, so if he were more concerned, he would cynically wonder what exactly is off about Altius.
Good thing he isn't that concerned!]
I did not dislike the festival
I suppose
no subject
Oh? You seemed to be holding on rather tightly to those tickets when I came across you. I suppose you must not have disliked the prizes, either?
no subject
It is not a matter of admitting it or not as I suspect you are implying
Maintaining my manifestation requires an amount of focus detrimental to things such as
Enjoying festivals
[Breaking: being a ghost sucks really bad.]
no subject
[He'll give away that he'd noticed that little slip in the ghost's color when they met. Even at such a low point as his arrival, he'd paid attention to the details.]
Would acquiring a vessel allow you to divert your focus elsewhere, then?
no subject
Well-spotted
I am not sure anyone else has
And yes that is one of the benefits
Not having to sustain oneself manually is a gift of the living
no subject
[he says out on the public network. it's not like anybody could use that information against any ghosts or anything, surely.]
I'll endeavor to appreciate the privilege. The amount of willpower that must take sounds exhausting. [but he'll be polite and give a solid question for Octavian to direct his focus to.] How long would you expect one of these vessels to last?
no subject
He has seen the logic and declared it "whatever," so that's going great.]
No more than a day thus far
The vessel is not self-sustaining
It will inevitably break down
no subject
That is an alarmingly short amount of time, though, just from a logical standpoint. Imagine if one of his company's prototypes for some kind of assistive device only lasted a day! There'd be so much more work to do.]
How frustrating. I would have more questions, but am I right to think you're more limited by your resources at the moment than anything else?
[Plus he usually leaves the science to his engineers. He's the moving-resources guy.]
no subject
Essentially yes
It does work
Back home I was able to verify the process with a [...,] new colleague
Not here however
no subject
[sucks to suck, ghost boy]
I don't have much to offer you but hopeful platitudes for now, but I appreciate your willingness to explain things to me. If nothing else, it's opened my eyes to the possibilities I might encounter here.
[Even if encountering a phantom wasn't exactly how he wanted to start his stay in a nightmare prison realm. But hey, at least he can try to prepare himself for something worse!]
no subject
Your platitudes are noted
Keep an open mind I suppose
Little green men are surely right around the corner
no subject
[It got a chuckle out of him. Ghosts may be complete blasphemy to everything he's pursuing, but he can still like Octavian.]
I'll have to look forward experiencing your full sense of humor once you have the chance to express it properly, if you're already offering this much.
no subject
I am entirely serious
[Ha ha. Ha. He doesn't try to be a funny person in really any way at all, but if being a Humorous Character gets people to relax their reservations about his being a ghost, well! It's so much easier! Maybe one day he'll even get the blood he wants!
Thanks to Root specifically for advising him about manipulation--]
But yes of course
It would only be appropriate to return your generosity in some way
