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:

Oh, it's not worth worrying about at all.

[There is an urgent beeping from somewhere, then a crash.]

Just a necessity for some surgical sciences, my dear--ah.

To whom am I speaking?

[southernchere]

Ain't no tellin, but I've been over it. Let it say what it wants to. Ya'll know me plenty enough.

But where have ya been, Sugar?

[runeing]

My pleasure.

[ wryly said, once again, one more thing they just agree over — sports and lifting heavy things both suck, in fact.

anyway, ]

Yes, they were originally meant for miners in the fissures, to make their work easier and safer.

I see... with runes carved into them, or otherwise? But you are correct, of course, the crystal powers them up.

[elfsplaining]

[Look it's fine. Morrigan is ALSO a bitch.]

Crows are more intelligent than the average bird.

But I also fight as a bear, or a wolf, or a swarm of insects. I'm fond of a cat form as well.

If I studied any creature long enough I could become them.

Not objects, however. What would one even do as an object? I couldn't move on my own then.

bar food can't be compared to other food, you have to appreciate it on its own terms

I owe you one

I can buy you a drink or something, I've got some cash

🎐Old enough to enjoy a sip 🎐 A boy 🎐 Mondstadt?

Right now I wish I was sitting at the top of a tree, looking out over a meadow, cider in hand.

Mondstadt's favourite bard! I'll sing you a tune for a smile or a kiss.

Although, I've always liked napping and sleeping in... Is it so bad to have long dreams?

If you're sure...

Back home, but only for a day or two. I was surprised so much time passed here while I was gone. Anything happen while I was gone that I should be worried about?

[manifestering]

Perhaps your formal attire is itself an ill omen

This is a joke
While mysterious I doubt a nice outfit is inherently sinister
Not nearly as much as the gap in memory

Knowing this place we will be tormented for neglecting to attend a cocktail hour

[manifestering]

I appreciate it at a polite distance
Very greasy

< I'm probably going to regret this. >

[But as far as they know, only one person in this whole simulation speaks entirely in ticking noises so there's no need to say more.]

[endcaller]

Aaah! Tick-tock, my sweet little clock!

How glad am I to hear you.

Now would be a splendid time to let me examine your head...

[Even if he'd need an assistant to do it. Dante somehow sees without eyes, he must know how.]

[cactusy]

I know

yum

[followyourstar]

Yeah... The gap in memory's definitely a problem. I'm hoping it just made something up.

Hey, at least you can drink the cocktails now.

[manifestering]

Interesting
What do they mine for
?

[He also grew up near a mine, as it happens, although absolutely not similar in any other way, oops— #bougie]

Carving is efficient yes
Etched perhaps depending on the material

[chimericalclaw]

Was it too grim? I was hoping the photo would offset that somewhat. Perhaps the animal would have made a better picture.

Only time will tell, most likely. I won't be surprised if we're beset by something in our sleep, however.

[southernchere]

Looks like "goin home" or "takin a big shut eye" has been goin around lately.

I've been out too, but I had my beauty sleep and weeks went on pass me. There were doubles of folks and toads who were forcing us to talk, kiss, or fight.

immediately back to text

[followyourstar]

Yep, I regret it.

More importantly, is there any particular reason why you're trying to get your hands on other people's eyes?

[abandonware]

it's not insensitive. i don't really care.

[Blunt. She wonders why it matters if dogs don't know the difference, but that's another mystery for another day.

"Cheese." Gross and floppy, but dogs liked it. How strange. She was learning more and more about these fascinating creatures every day.]

what else do I need to know about dogs?

[endcaller]

Curiosity? A lack of aught that is meaningful to do with my time?

...My own eyes also seem to function no longer. Quite an irritant, that. Thus, an ocular transplant is in order.

[Normally he'd drop the corpse he's wearing and move into a new one. But his aether seems strangely bound to Asahi.]

Up to the same old tricks again, are we?

One's past informs who they become, it is never too late to change for anyone who truly intends to.

[What kind of situation is this man from, the Saw franchise??]

Ah.

I've never been a fan of forcing such occasions, even when they don't harm anyone, but I'll take an extra note. Hopefully it hasn't ruined the "normal" puzzles for you?

[followyourstar]

I remember the doubles, but uh...

The toads are new. In a lot of ways. There... aren't any still around, are there?

[opheliac]

ooooooooh! so ure one of those "i look like a twerp but im old as dirt" gods or immortals or something?

text going back into voice again

[followyourstar]

Wait, what? You've gone blind?

[They... weren't expecting that.

With some reluctance, they swap back to voice]
