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:

[ there are limits, it's just a different kind ]

I can move the rocks but I can't actually tell who people are most of the time, so it doesn't matter
I have to know someone pretty well to recognize them from that far away

Besides, if I want to annoy someone, I'm definitely gonna do it to their face

[entreats]

I think you are severely underestimating the power of harassing someone while not letting them know who they're getting harassed by.

Especially if said someone is easily freaked out.

[fieldtrip]

If you want me to harass someone for you Ange just tell me their name
You don't need to be all subtle about it

[entreats]

And you wouldn't be worried about getting blamed for it?

There aren't too many people who have rock throwing powers in this place, you know. Not as far as I'm aware.

[fieldtrip]

Yeah it's just me. Yippee
Let me rephrase because I don't think you're getting it
If someone's bothering you then you let me know and I'll set em straight
To their FACE

If you just want to bug somebody, them figuring it out it's me is part of the fun
I only bully people who can bully back

[entreats]

[ ????

Toph, you have no idea about the sheer amount of question marks you are currently spawning in Ange's head. She's so confused. People being this willing to defend her is just.. weird? How does she deal with that?

It definitely feels like there's a mess of emotion in the pit of her stomach right now that she doesn't want to address, at the very least. ]

No, you're right. I'm not getting it.

You're weird.

[ That's affectionate, though it might be hard to tell over text.. ]

I can't believe that it's this easy for you to be so blunt about these things.

[fieldtrip]

[ Toph's primary love language is insults, so she gets it completely. In deference to Ange she actually doesn't make fun of her back, which is her natural instinct. ]

Why wouldn't I be? I dare someone to make fun of me
I don't have anything to be embarrassed about. Having friends is normal
And some people just need a beat down

[entreats]

Well, some of us do have stuff to be embarrassed about.

[ Note that Ange is not saying Toph has. Sure, she may not be giving the compliment directly by confirming the other is right about that, but by Ange standards it's incredibly nice to not take this opportunity to totally burn someone to the ground, verbally speaking..

But she doesn't really think there's much for Toph to be ashamed about. Maybe the fact she makes statues of herself, but-- you know, everyone probably has at least one cringe hobby, right. ]

So then it's not as easy.

[fieldtrip]

[ Toph isn't ashamed of making statues of herself. She's cool and she can metal bend, of course she should be making statues of herself. Really her whole point here is that no one can make her feel embarrassed, because she owns up to who she is.

With all seriousness: ]

What do you have to be embarrassed about
You're like the least embarrassing person I know
Have you MET some of my other friends

[entreats]

[ God, is Ange ever glad that Toph wrote more than that first sentence. Because she does trust the other girl enough that she would have told her the truth, but Ange wouldn't have been very happy about it.

It sucks to write about all the stuff you have to be embarrassed about. ]

I don't know.

Who are your other friends? Do you mean friends here?

[fieldtrip]

[ Wow, Toph really needs to teach her how to talk shit with friends, huh? First lesson incoming... ]

Okay I guess some of them here can be kind of embarrassing but wow they have nothing on my friends at home
I willingly go around with Twinkle Toes, Snoozles and Sugar Queen
One time we got lost in a desert and Sokka (that's Snoozles) drank cactus juice and got all high and wacky
Not like we were stranded or anything and he's over there saying cactus juice is the quenchiest

[entreats]

I'm assuming that by your explanation it's common knowledge to know you shouldn't drink from those in your world.

[ Hey, you never know, okay!! The cultural clash in this place has been wild sometimes from Ange's point of view. ]

But that's hardly surprising. Men are generally way dumber than us girls. In my world, anyway.

[fieldtrip]

His sister stood right there and told him not to
Sokka's usually pretty smart, he's plan guy, but sometimes it's like the dumb just takes him over

Anyway point is you're not embarrassing, Ange
So if you want me to throw rocks at someone for you just let me know
Free service offered to all my friends

[entreats]

[ There's a slight pause, but then just an: ]

Okay.

[ Usually Ange is a little bit more stubborn than this, but.. well, Toph hits the right notes with her. Or maybe Ange just knows she can't win from the other girl in certain departments. ]

I guess you've sold me on the idea. I'll keep it in mind.
