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:

Where does a cat go if it needs a new tail? The retail store.

Are you serious?

[ Sure, maybe he didn't write this.

.. but Ange kind of thinks he did, honestly. ]

[izanagis]

Serious kind of defeats the purpose of a joke, doesn't it?

[Witness Yu out here struggling not to write "purrpose" because for some reason Ange has (... had??) a modicum of respect for him--]

[entreats]

Why are you making cat puns on here?

I mean, it's better than some of the other stuff on here. But that's a pretty low bar to clear, when the stuff that's generated by this place is so dumb.

What is the maximum amount of sheep you have counted when trying to fall asleep?
Has anyone ever actually found this helpful? I always feel like imagining sheep just keeps me more awake.

Is it harder to forgive yourself, or to forgive others?
Yourself, usually. I think. But...if someone's done something bad enough, that can be really hard to get past.

How strongly do you feel that the past defines a person?
Everyone can change. Nothing has to be set in stone.

What is your dream?
Hard to say - I don't always remember them.

Why would an android's dream contain electric sheep? Are they particularly drawn to livestock animals?
Pretty sure that title was meant to be rhetorical.

If you could return to one specific moment in your life, would you?
For a visit, maybe? But not for good.

How do you wake up from a dream?
Pinch yourself.

Please
Wake up
You must wake up
...
This is kind of ominous.

[izanagis]

You've never seen a cat?

[like, that's the vibe he's getting here, but he just has to be sure...]

[abandonware]

no.

[long unnerving pause]

is it like a "dog?"

[opheliac]

[izanagis]

Harsh, but fair. Got any tips to improve my score?

[opheliac]

We need to work on your material. Got any other zingers?

[Ekko may or may not be grinning a bit to himself still as he types this up though.]

[izanagis]

Can't believe everyone's calling meowt like this.

[A beat.]

No. No zingers. Just cringe, apparently.

[howyouseit]

Please don't tell me you seriously just meowed at me? I'd say quit while you are ahead but I think we are past the point of no return already.

Maybe we can find you a new hobby to redeem yourself...Think you could learn how to ride a hoverboard?

[starstrailblaze]

I'm adding this to my joke book to tell my good ol' buddy next time I see him. Thanks. I wonder if dragons like retail though...

[izanagis]

You're welcome.

Wait. Your friend is a dragon?

[starstrailblaze]

Kind of? At least, he's the descendant of one. It's pretty complicated to explain. I'm sure he'll appreciate new jokes though.

[ Sure, Caelus, sure. ]
