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:

[No response. She's rattled.]

[manifestering]

They do not exist in my home either, not the way one would expect
I am a crime against nature personally

However there are spirits of a more feral nature

And yes I know
I am the thing

[aonibi]

I see. I'm afraid that I'm only passingly familiar with alchemy. In my world, it's considered a pseudoscience.

Are homunculi generally humanoid?

[eternalcutie]

So let me guess, you can't do it yourself because you are a mere spirit, and need a living or rather physically present alchemist to do the deed for you.

[eternalcutie]

In my world too. In the modern day, people just don't want to believe that science can seem magical.

The ones I've met have been, yes.

[aonibi]

There's quite a bit of crossover between our science and our magic, but not in the way there is with alchemy, as I understand it.
Or it could be that what you call alchemy is what we consider science, and what we call alchemy is another discipline altogether.

Why are they made?

No
I told you I am not the kind of ghost you think I am
I can interact with the world more or less
However
I need blood and other sundry
Blood is the material people are less willing to donate

Anna Marie AKA Rogue

@sugarlips

23 // Female // Straight // Single

A southern belle who is a superhero. Or at least, she pretends to be. Because what hero shows no hesitation in killing others?

Her mutant ability is power drain, but she can fly and has inhuman strength, too. The power of flight and strength were not her original powers. Maybe get to know her and ask how she obtain them!

So shoot your shot! She may be young, but that won't stop her from dating anyone who is forty-two years older than her. Come one, come all! Age gap means nothing!

Forewarning: she has issues with commitment, so there's a high chance you're not the only man she's getting friendly with.

[eternalcutie]

Where I'm from, it's widely accepted that magic isn't real at all. So I find it interesting something like alchemy would be considered "pseudoscience" in a place where magic is "real".

To do the bidding of their creator, usually.

[izanagis]

Why shouldn't it be cats?

[eternalcutie]

Fair enough, blood can be hard to come by. Is there such a thing as a "blood bank" here?

Beta

@ecophagy

☆ 17 years old

☆ A clone of Elisabet Sobeck; created by psychopathic immortal billionaires, raised in complete isolation to train as a tool for controlling a genetic-locked terraforming system.

Genius, tech-dependent, and terrified of people.

Looks like she could a hug, and some friends?

[manifestering]

There was an effort made by some charlatan months ago to start one, I have heard nothing of it since
Most likely they have vanished

[eternalcutie]

Shame, that would have been convenient.

Vanished? You mean, they were returned to where they came from?

[runeing]

Well, I am not going anywhere.

[ so who cares if it's a long story, actually, it's not like they have anything but time stuck here in the simulation... so lay it on him! ]

What flavour? [ yes, he's genuinely asking. ]

[manifestering]

Indeed, I could stop begging

And yes or however it works
It is unclear what or how much of us exists outside of this simulation
Obviously some of us do not have bodies to return to any longer

un: howe

[manifestering]

What is your preferred field
?

[runeing]

[ oh, surely that nets him some points. the ever-so-important "made ghost friend chuckle" points, ]

A particularly unpleasant list. [ nevermind the fact that, hm, he's physically incapable of, oh, all of them, and wishes he wasn't — ]

I suppose heavy lifting might be the easiest to test. Running, too, but you'd have to do it, of course.

un: unitA2

[abandonware]

but aren't you human? unless 'Elisabet Sobeck' is some kind of android
why would they do that?

[aonibi]

What we call magic comes from a metaphysical origin, but one that's fairly well-studied and understood, which can be manipulated and used as any other energy source. To my understanding, the alchemy of my world predated modern science, and used mystical symbols and elements to produce effects without always understanding why or how. I'm afraid I don't know much more, though, as the professor thought it was unnecessary to my education to be more familiar.

What sort of bidding were they required to do that couldn't be accomplished by employees or machines?

un: unitA2

[runeing]

I'm afraid you would have to reach whoever or whatever is running this place to assist with the re-write, professor. Easier to just... deal with it.
