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:

ok

can you go to a bar? I know you're dead and probably 300 years old, but you look like a high-schooler

private

[opheliac]

awww, how cute. is this better?

[machizumo]

Oh HELL YEAH. I'm keeping that one on file dude. Look at his little fist! Tough guy!

un: kuwabara

[machizumo]

You're a weird guy.

private

[rebellions]

a bit
but I'm still gonna sound lame
so you've been warned

I know you can handle yourself just fine
but that's not gonna stop me from protecting you

there you can laugh now

[machizumo]

Oh right, the crimes stuff.
You don't even get time for a lot of this stuff, so it's a huge overreaction!

[ Which is just another way of wording "this is here as an unknown cover for something else," isn't it? ]

This is dumb.

[manifestering]

You have associates here
?
Interesting
Seems some worlds have more representation than others

I am partial to the square nearby the inn
Very spacious

[emotionalbeast]

[Wait.. ah.]

Something sweet preferably.
A recommendation shop at most. Maybe a guide.

[Well, he could find it himself but.. hmm.]

[emotionalbeast]

Taming a wild rabbit with its appetite. You will have no trouble with him.

@here4info

[emotionalbeast]

[Quiet. A place to read. Beverage and pastries. Luck indeed!]

You have my thanks, lorem_ipsum.

[nobetawedielike]

[ without Gaia here, she hadn't realized how much she'd missed the familiarity of how artificial intelligence spoke. 'disconnected from the network'... it really was how it felt, wasn't it? ]

I ran away.

It was the most terrifying thing I've ever done, but it was worth it.

I hope he was happy too.

[computation]

Got any others? I like puzzles.

If you want one, sure. Can't let Charles's bae be an easy target 😉

[incorrigibles]

well, no one's kicked me out yet... i know the one who owns lupin, so that's a definite yes

and hey! 51, not 300

[coolerjunpei]

sure. you probably know the one about the 2 guards and 1 question, right? how about.... an old man lived alone in an isolated house. on a random thursday morning, while the mailman was delivering a package he glanced in the window and saw the old man was dead. he calls the cops, and when the cops come they find 2 bottles of milk, monday's paper, a catalog, flyers, and unopened mail. they pick their number 1 suspect real fast. who and why?

let me ask him if that's cool, i don't know how he feels about guns around in the house. but it wouldn't hurt to learn.

[coolerjunpei]

[No, play with him in this sp— oh there's a file, let him just open that at work yet again, like the responsible employee he is. God, how does it feel for everyone else in existence to know they will never have the hottest, most charming, most delightful boyfriend in recorded history (all of them) because Junpei already has him-!!]

1000000/10 damn. i knew that would look good. you're ultra turbo mega hot.

[Give him a moment to casually create himself a boyfriend thirst traps subfolder in his media files, just so no one else ever gets to see these and they're all conveniently gathered... ahem.]

oh and uh your friend wants to teach me to shoot? and maybe give me a gun? are you cool with having a gun in the house somewhere?

[abandonware]

[a delay.

Eventually:]

I'm an android.
in my world, we were designed for combat and military operations.

private

[opheliac]

ill bust a gut about it later. but...it's nice to read u caring about me, big brother.

i do think u should use all that energy to protect those who cant protect themselves.
those who dont have the will to fight or their voices are so tired from screaming from not being hurt, so they need a loudmouth to do it for them.

[icyvoid]

[ Yep, don't like that. ]

I see.
What kind of military operations do you go on? Do you fight alongside other non-android soldiers?

[incorrigibles]

[ meanwhile, charles is just laughing, in the way that's pleased that junpei seems to be pleased and kind of also not taking him seriously — ]

now you're just inventing qualifiers, love. but good if you like it, because looks like i'm stuck here now, so chances that i'm still wearing this when you get home are high

[ cue another two pictures: one where charles was very clearly trying to take a selfie when gab jumped on the bed and on him, specifically, so the photo is not entirely in focus, with him laughing and a blob of fluff on his lap; the second one is just gab, settled over charles' legs on the bed, there for naptime.

anyway, ]

wait, who? but i mean, sure, course i am. shooting's not a bad idea, gives you a good defense and puts you out of the way of fighting

[digthefuzz]

Oh yeah, the way people come and go here has got to be tricky for business!

Thanks, that sounds great. I feel good to double up my jobs! I also just don't want to give my legendary status as a deliverer of pizza away just yet!

[digthefuzz]

You must have a very lit one!

I guess not. I've only occasionally seen the term around since I came here, and I wondered what it meant. Thanks for cluing me in!
Whoa. Now that's totally cool! I mean, the more friends the merrier, right?

private

[rebellions]

and become the hero of the people?
nah
I don't think that's for me

[howyouseit]

Birds of a feather flock together, right?

Sounds like we've got ourselves a new mission objective here in Aldrip. One of unparalleled importance. I'm sure we'll both need alternative means of vitality if our initial meeting in this place is anything to go off.

[coolerjunpei]

don't worry, i'll save you when i get home. you'll have to cope with the beast until then. give him a hug for me.

[Very cute, he loves these pictures in a different way than he loves the thirsty ones. Anyway, let him go actually... click on a profile real quick... he absorbed puzzle solving + mentioning Charles directly and assumed, but-]

root? probably? unless you have another friend who'd call me your bae unironically. but good, just wanted to be sure. free gun.

[scientits]

Oh, same! I used to take those apart as a kid. Got banned from it after I accidentally made one explode though.
There seems to be plenty here to tinker with, at least? I'm itching to get my hands on some of the tech here myself....

Under what parameters? If you don't mind me asking.
