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:

Glad my name is finally good for something around here. But you're right, some of the names get complicated. Like that "Scott Summers," am I right? So many S placements.

"Old gig?" Have you moved on to bigger and better things, then?

private.

[ this-- got serious in a hurry. she should've been tipped off when they started genuinely talking about killing, but now she's scrambling. that really isn't something she's used to.

even so, something about her question felt like it was in reach. how to stop running in circles... ]

i don't know what life's like where you're from, but in general it'd mean not reacting "as always", whatever that means
trying something different and showing the world that you're doing your best
if the people you're around are a bad influence on you then you have to figure out if that's the person you wanna be going forward
if you want something different, go with what's different

either way, you have to end up being you in the end, that's what's most important.

[opheliac]

YEAH! what kind of name is S c O T TT T su MMMERRS?? suxx for the schmuck who got stuck with that name. what a dofus.

nnnnot quite. ill still shoot u or blow u up if u mess with me. but i guess, being a mother and a hero/symbol of hope makes u look at things differently.

1/2

[izanagis]

Fair enough. I'd expect no less f

[izanagis]

wait wait hold on
go back<

you're a what now??

[incorrigibles]

well, i mean, they're not everywhere, so

pretty sure i can devise a walk that's monster-free, too. or not, in case you're into some excitement in your life

[incorrigibles]

[ that's a whole lot of typing, honey... ]

what, think i'll take advantage of it?

hmm, maybe. but i promise to make it worth your while if i do

[opheliac]

which part?

[rebellions]

I wouldn't be so sure

[ If the whole world is dreaming, then by extension so are they. And this isn't the first time he's experiencing something like this, so he believes it to be a likely explanation, ]

[incorrigibles]

you love me, mate

hey, don't think like that. maybe it's actually all fine. i mean, her being here at all was already sort of a curveball, yeah? maybe... you've finally got a break. maybe it's not a bad thing she's here.

[incorrigibles]

when's politics not a mistake, honest

[izanagis]

Is "all of it" an option?

How about: since when are you a mother?

[izanagis]

Wow.

About what? Cats don't just chat about the weather or something, do they?

[izanagis]

"Designed?"

No, they don't cause much damage. Well, maybe if you're a sofa or a curtain or something.

[izanagis]

[Time to change his crime to "disappointing Ange with a dumb pun"...]

I think so. Sometimes it doesn't really matter what other people think of it, right?

[incorrigibles]

nah they brag about the mice they've caught, compare which houses have the best food, stuff like that

but no, uh, it was actually my house i was sitting outside of, so the cats sort of knew me, so they came and asked if i was who they thought i was

[izanagis]

You went back home?

I can't imagine that being an easy thing to do.

[incorrigibles]

i wanted to see mum, check that she was doing... you know. alright

haven't gone back since.

[opheliac]

oh, uuuh...ive kinda always been a mom.

im the creator of all of my chompers, so that makes me their mom by default.

soooo... been a mom since i was 12. BUT!!!!! if ure asking since when i became a mom to a small human??

for 6 months. but isha is a few things. my best friend, and my kid sister. but she called me mama while she was babbling in her sleep once, so i decided to take up on that role too.

[concierto]

Come now, everyone has stories. Even if they're not the ones about ourselves or even the true ones.

[concierto]

There's usually a time limit, I believe! Survive until the timer is up.

When you play with a friend, you work together to survive.

[runeing]

[ wait, what is this — he somehow simply assumed that octavian would choose something that he himself remembers liking, very much how viktor had immediately made him try his favourite drink... but no. apparently he's thought of something that might appeal to him, and that makes him pause for a moment and experience an emotion or two. ]

I look forward to trying it, then, if they have it.

Shall we meet at Lupin, again?

[chimericalclaw]

That would be very generous of you. Your name is Charles, yes?

I think this place has given me enough excitement without seeking it out. I prefer to stay in one piece.

[opheliac]

so 1 story about the wind spirit. got it.

[clericus]

seems like you know enough about sheep to find your way around.
anyways i ain't got any friends, so it's slim pickings

[ if you're wondering if vash counts... don't. ]

it can't take too long. show up, look at an animal, and then you're all done.
