OKCINDR POST #5

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:

network profile
Character_Name
@username
ABOUT_ME




If you'd like to for shits and giggles, here's some notifications that may be used:

Name (@username) followed you




Name (@username) unfollowed you




Name (@username) blocked you




Have fun! Code credit.

What did your job entail exactly? You don't strike me as the type who particularly enjoys violence.

[At least not from what he gathered in their initial meeting, A2 seemed rather level headed but perhaps that was part of her programming. Maybe she didn't have a choice in the matter either and was created as a war machine but that remains to be seen. The boy genuinely curious to know more about the android and the mystery surrounding her rather expressionless demeanor.]

[Her nose wrinkles at the question. It was an observation that felt strange to her. She'd spent a long time as a fugitive, and longer still killing machines. To imagine her "job" being anything outside of slaughter was a concept so foreign that it felt uncomfortable to sit with for long.]

i killed machines. my specialty is close-range combat.
swordsmanship, most of the time.

[personal profile] howyouseit 2025-01-06 01:59 am (UTC)(link)
That doesn't surprise me given it was your weapon of choice when we first met. I prefer to be up close and personal too as you've seen.

As for killing these machines...Were they intelligent lifeforms such as yourself or merely instruments of war without emotions?

you're not bad in a fight.

[high praise from A2, honestly. she almost feels a positive emotion and then his next question stops her dead.]

why are you asking that

[several moments of typing and deleting later...]

yes.

[To which thing, A2... only she knows.]
howyouseit: (050)

[personal profile] howyouseit 2025-01-06 03:59 am (UTC)(link)
[Wait a minute did she just compliment him? Damn well that was unexpected a smile creeping over his lips as he types up a response.]

Hey thanks but I'm nowhere near as impressive as your combat skills, A2.

[What an ambiguous answer.]

Yes; Got it. So what is your world's ecosystems like exactly? Is it a futuristic world with technological marvels such as yourself?

[Not the only one full of compliments, A2!]
abandonware: ([ 73. ])

[personal profile] abandonware 2025-01-06 08:03 pm (UTC)(link)
i'm designed for it. ... and i'm outdated. there's nothing special about it.

[She's not good at accepting compliments.]
my world's got machines and other yorha operatives. [Or it did.] the resistance droids too, but they're older than yorha androids.
howyouseit: (056)

[personal profile] howyouseit 2025-01-07 01:10 am (UTC)(link)
Outdated? How so? As far as I can tell you're perfectly capable despite the need for some external repairs. Which I'm still willing to assist you with by the way.

[LOVE YOURSELF, A2. LET HIM HELP YOU.]

Yorha operatives? Is that the name of the organization you work for?
abandonware: ([ 46. ])

[personal profile] abandonware 2025-01-07 01:47 am (UTC)(link)
[the first question, she doesn't answer.

as for the second:]


i don't need repairs.
i can still move.

YoRHa is the name of the organization i was a part of. military.
howyouseit: (060)

[personal profile] howyouseit 2025-01-07 02:02 am (UTC)(link)
[Why are so many of the women he comes to know so damn difficult and never want to help themselves!?]

For now. If something drastic happens you could very well be without movement or worse risk losing a limb, A2. I'm sure that Pod companion of yours would agree with me.

So let me get this straight you fight enemy war machines for a military installment. Is this some sort of dystopian world void of humankind or are they the ones who control this YoRHa organization?

it doesn't matter. i finished my mission.

it's just us. the androids and the machines. the first time i saw a human was when i ended up here.

[just quietly reading along this conversation.
— seen each other fight
— this chick complimenting his skills
— boy savior returns the compliment
— boy savior being curious about her and her world
— boy savior offering to assist her with repairs

....

[personal profile] howyouseit 2025-01-08 04:12 am (UTC)(link)
And what was that exactly? Your mission.

Seriously? A world without humans where only your kin and these war machines exist. What happened to them? The humans I mean. Or were there never any to begin with?

classified.

[Talking about 9S, the Tower, and everything she'd found inside of it, she can't bring herself to do. The feelings there are too raw and indistinct.

His next question isn't much better. She falls silent, and after considerable delay:]


hey
tell me something about your world
since you're asking so many questions.
howyouseit: (089)

[personal profile] howyouseit 2025-01-09 03:33 am (UTC)(link)
[Seems like he struck a particularly sensitive spot with the lack of response to those questions but she does make a good point.]

Guess that's fair. What do you want to know?

what was it like there?

[personal profile] howyouseit 2025-01-11 01:13 am (UTC)(link)
I lived in a place known as Zaun an underground city that was looked down upon by its topsider counterpart Piltover acknowledged as the city of progress.

The latter was heralded for its technological advancements while my home in the fissures lived off their scraps where it was an everyday struggle for my people. Needless to say there was civil unrest between the neighboring city states.

[Hm. A society separated not by military rank, but by...

Class, Pod supplies. She had a dim recollection of this — more in scattered knowledge from 2B's data than her own. The machines of the Forest Kingdom had their absurd little "king" as well. It seemed ridiculous to her — in her world the only thing that mattered was strength, cunning, and numbers. But human societies had thrived in these needless separations.]


wouldn't it make more sense to collaborate?
humans are strange.

If only it were that simple I have been working towards equality for my people ever since I was young. All I want is for us to be given the means to thrive and live out our lives peacefully instead of hating each other.

[Her last sentiment causes him to chuckle behind his device as he quickly types up another message.]

You're not wrong there. We are complicated beings who's greed and desire of the few far outweighs the needs of the many. It's frustrating but there are those of us who are striving to create a better world for all of us like myself.
abandonware: ([ 73. ])

[personal profile] abandonware 2025-01-16 05:12 am (UTC)(link)
so you're one of those hero types? should've known.
what are you doing to create a "better world?"
howyouseit: (Default)

[personal profile] howyouseit 2025-01-18 02:08 am (UTC)(link)
Guess you could say that.

In my home world there was a tyrant who subjugated my fellow Zaunites to cruelty and suppressed but me and my fellow Firelight companions rose up against him. I may not have been the person to dethrone him from the seat of power which he sat but we fought tooth and nail for equality amongst our people.

All I want is for my nation to thrive instead of scrapping by off the scraps of Piltover's runoff.


[He wouldn't boast about succeeding in a far more important victory against another oppressor who looked to lay waste to both Zaun and Piltover as that was not what they were discussing.]

[personal profile] howyouseit 2025-01-21 01:00 am (UTC)(link)
Lets just say the individual was removed from his self appointed station before an even more dangerous threat emerged which led to both Zaun and Piltover reluctantly working together.

To think it only took a near cataclysmic apocalypse to unite us against a common enemy instead of fighting each other for a change.

better that you work together than destroy each other. or let something else destroy you.

It was either that or let the whole world be annihilated. This individual wished to consume all life as we knew it into a singular entity of consciousness.
