expiationnet | 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:

no, it's not a billiards thing

you know, this is actually making me feel a lot better about not knowing about that stuff if you don't know either, i thought it was just, you know, cause it's all past when i died and all

but hold on a tick i'll try and remember

ssc was safe sane and consensual i'm pretty sure about that

rack was... risk something? aware? sorta forgot since it didn't really sound like something either of us would be into

oh, it's a sex thing. gotcha.

[Why would he, A Loser, know jack nor shit about sex thing acronyms... Not only is he a loser but he is completely uncurious, so instead,]

i'm giving you blanket permission to not know things and not feel bad about it, starting now.

[ they can just both happily not know anything... charles had asked root exactly no questions, either. ]

thanks, love. like, in general? because there's a lot out there that i don't know and you might regret that blanket permission

or about sex, which i guess is the same... don't really care if i know stuff or not though, unless you care

just, well, sometimes people use weird words like everyone should know them and it gets a bit old

like what the hell is a twink

edwin wanted to add that to the bestiary but crystal had a 5 minute coughing fit so im guessing its not that

you really don't have to be an expert on anything, don't worry about it. or a sexpert. we can figure it out.

[This is not actually meant to be innuendo, but it still kind of is? So it goes. Anyway, Junpei's seen the internet, he knows what a twink is... but call himself a twink here, in writing? Hmm, better not.]

i know that one, though, i can tell you later.

[ innuendo, maybe, but in the most wholesome way, actually — so of course charles answers, earnest as ever, ]

that's it though, innit? i'd much rather just figure it out with you than ask anyone for advice

[ and then, blissfully ignorant, ]

oh, you do? brills, thanks!

yeah... sounds good to me. the vocabulary quiz is strictly optional.

[Acronyms and twinks and whatever else. Charles is so cute, though. Ugh.]

just remind me later.

you've got it, love.

but back to the gun thing... root's aces, so i'm glad if you're gonna hang out with her. she's the one who told me about the cake thing, remember? and she's a former assassin so i'm pretty sure she'll teach you real well

i remember. she's really a former assassin? she said we could go shoot bottles in the countryside... assassin training is nothing like i thought it'd be.

yeah, pretty sure that's the former part. she's reformed, now

what do you think assassin training's like?

like an action movie but without the music, more or less... maybe some laser grids to jump around in. that kind of thing.

well, there's the arcade, reckon we could rig you some laser grids there if you want

or is that too sporty

whoa, who said anything about me doing that stuff? i was just making a casual observation.

too sporty, got it

[ or too murder game bunker, which he's not pointing out, anyway, ]

you've gotta show me when you learn how to shoot, though. you with a gun? sounds pretty hot

is this going to be your new trick to get me to try new things? not saying it won't work. i'm pretty easy, but only in really specific circumstances.

["circumstances": charles said it would be hot]

i mean i didn't mean it to be a trick or anything, honest

[ read: he just really wants to ogle him while he's shooting stuff, actually — ]

but if it works...

let me think about it.

[Junpei is typing...

Junpei is typing...

...

Junpei is typing...]

yeah it works. maybe this isn't information you should have...

[ 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

[he was thinking about it, in detail,]

i think i'm okay with that. let's just hope i don't waste everybody's time with the gun thing.

[ oh... well in that case — ]

course you won't. how would you learning to defend yourself be wasting anyone's time? besides, i'm pretty sure root's gonna have a great time just hanging out with you

maybe i'm a hopeless case, we don't know yet. she's already having a great time ordering sandwiches though, so i can't say it's a total loss.

or maybe you're a crack shot. don't worry, love, i'm gonna be the optimist here for you.

but hey, that's aces.

you usually are.

and i've gotta go run sandwiches to her girlfriend, so i'll see you later?

say hi to shaw, yeah?

i'll see you soon, sweetheart. i'll miss you in the meantime.
