OKCINDR POST #5

[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 January 2nd, 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 the maximum amount of sheep you have counted when trying to fall asleep?
- Is it harder to forgive yourself, or to forgive others?
- How strongly do you feel that the past defines a person?
- What is your dream?
- Why would an android's dream contain electric sheep? Are they particularly drawn to livestock animals?
- If you could return to one specific moment in your life, would you?
- How do you wake up from a dream?
- Please
- Wake up
- You must wake up

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:

[Meanwhile, guy who basically ended up having to watch people die as a teenager by virtue of them becoming incurably corrupted and felt personally responsible:]

It's less that they're incapable and more that tearing them away from their lives and throwing them into a prison dimension is far from helpful if "rehabilitation" is the goal.

[But sure, your naive and definitely-not-hiding-anything thought is good too.]

Memory and personality manipulation and the locals' reactions making little to no sense have been my main concerns. I've come to understand that the consequences for ignoring our "sentencings" have been things such as unnatural physical alterations or the loss of abilities, as well.

[nilhilistic]

In time. I'm in no rush.

What about you?

[mysophobic]

Yes that's right!

Pets, huh? 🤔 I think so. My powers work on everything so pets shouldn't be a problem...

[boundarykey]

Oh that's interesting!

Definitely, I won't miss you if I see you. I'll come running over then! I have long blonde hair, and I've been wearing a dress lately! When we meet we can be friends!

[chimericalclaw]

The Willow Clinic is the first I'd suggest, as it's run by one of our own, a knowledgeable woman named Ethlyn. There is a small hospital run by the locals, as well, but there are a handful of clinics about if a quieter practice is what you're interested in.

[He sends directions to both the clinic and the hospital. He's very helpful. :)]

[ashaya]

While I have several recommendations, perhaps it would be better first to expand upon the genre you prefer.

[uncommonsense]

Yeeeeah then dont do that
so then! what's your bike look like?

[mightymorphin]

that doesn't mean it's not a trick. I thought they were silly and harmless at first, but there's no way that's true.

[gravity_flares]

The snowball's a work in progress. As for the challenge? It's a nice little addition to the mix, sure, but what's messy isn't the fighting if you ask me. Not for people like us.

[That's the easy part. Unpacking the rest? Well...]

You wanted tea recommendations, right?

[mightymorphin]

doesn't it bother you? knowing that the AI must be spying on us all the time??

[nightwild]

cool as hell is what it looks like
its huge
fast
red

[gravity_flares]

Huh. I dunno. This doesn't have anything to do with dreaming, does it? Might be why I don't understand what you're trying to say.

Well, whatever, I guess? At least I can say I like pancakes~. You got a favorite kind?

[uncommonsense]

cool!!!
can it fly? or have a computer system in it?

[checkout]

[Skill issue, normal teens who aren't human black holes don't do crimes--]

I would say it depends on the life!

As I am to understand this is a simulation, the nonsensical reactions of the locals can be chalked up to programming errors (or not-so-errors!) can they not? What bothers me more is when they react not at all, like with those infernal coffins.

[He reads that last part over a second time... Well, looking forward to getting a third arm or something, he supposes? He'll not be submitting to any sentencing, god no, sounds awful.]

These sentencings are working on the honor system...? That is most certainly a choice.

[checkout]

Oh, it's you! Have you been bothered again by toads since I saw you last? Or have you been spared?

You know, I happen to know one whole cafe that makes these delightful sweet buns. I must show you! And of course, we could boldly seek out a proper meal.

[checkout]

Sheep are much hardier than snow, I should think we might want to worry.

Given the locals' odd disinterest in explaining their evil snowmen curses, I shudder to think of how thorough their historians are... I will keep an eye open for mysteries for you, though. I've hardly left the library since the other week.

[It's cold out and he doesn't like to make the walk, this is the actual, genuine reason.]

[howyouseit]

You mean the hourglass? It's meant as a symbol.

[manifestering]

Another realm then

[Guy who was born and raised on Mars and isn't used to that much resource diversity: brief pause, wait,]

On your planet though correct
?

[Mars is so uniform he went right from interplanetary to interdimensional, mentally. Ahem.]

[howyouseit]

Beats me I'm fairly new around here myself. I was just trying to research the inner workings of the Council who brought us here but came up short. There was little to no information about them besides this 'Jerry' guy who acts as their messenger boy as far as I've concluded.

[howyouseit]

There's a lot more I could have done.

[But that's all he'll say here publicly in front of the masses moving onto the more light hearted part of this conversation even though it is still equal parts painful as she asks what his muse is for painting being a bit ambiguous in his response.]

People I cared about.

[Note the past tense, Mel.]

I prefer not to be restrict to canvas myself either opting for large piece works. Not like canvas was a luxury I could afford anyways in my position.

[coolerjunpei]

sure, thanks. come back next time for more cool riddles.

[coolerjunpei]

it's a metaphorical snake. the snake-ish thing that comes next.

wow, though... what if i lose? are you gonna make me feel better?

[howyouseit]

[An alternate dimension of herself...She couldn't possibly be talking about her memories as Powder?!]

And what else do you recall besides the baking expertise if I might ask?

Well that's reassuring to hear that you gave me the leeway.

[howyouseit]

If I wouldn't know any better I'd think you are calling me evil, Mel.

I might be inclined to give something other than tea a chance but wouldn't know where to start.

[opheliac]

besides the purple hair? everything was happy and was going great for me besides... what led up to it.
