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.

[ He almost replies with "I wish", but stops himself from typing that. His personal feelings on the matter aren't what she's asking about here, and it's not something he's eager to share anyway. ]

not right now
seems like this version of her hasn't figured out how to do that yet
she probably will later

yeah yeah
as you wish miss tourist


[ Sass doesn't count as complaining, does it? But no worries, he'll actually answer the question too. ]

not that I know of
I think... she might not have one yet


[ Some might argue Ragna is already overstepping by assigning the AI pronouns, but given his past experiences and knowledge, this is only a natural assumption to make... or maybe it's just an unhealthy projection on his part, but he doesn't want to think about it too hard. ]

whatever.

unsurprising. doubt it occurred to her to give herself a name
and i doubt her creators bothered.
rebellions: (your face is rude)

[personal profile] rebellions 2025-01-08 09:01 pm (UTC)(link)
of course they didn't
that would require they give a fuck
and actually see her as someone worth of a name


[ λ-No.11-, μ-No.12-, ν-No.13-... none of those aren't names; just designations a bunch of scientists assigned to what they saw as disposable tools. There was a time when he, too, was nothing but a bunch of numbers and letters, and although he can't recall the details anymore, the idea still fills him with anger.

Looking over her profile, he briefly considers asking if the same was true for her ─ whoever created her not caring enough to give her a proper name ─ but even he isn't tactless enough to ask such a personal question of a complete stranger, especially in public, so in the end, he decides against it. ]

[Personal names are prohibited. It's an echo from a long time ago, buried deep in the recesses of her memory files. Rose had given each of them a real name, in defiance of their rules — a representation of their status as her "family." But A2 had not been able to make herself use the one she'd been given, not ever. Not after they were all gone.

A product didn't have a family. And something obsolete didn't deserve a name.]


...
maybe she'll think of her own. machines do that. sometimes.
rebellions: and frankly i've already surpassed them all (there are several levels of not caring)

[ Everybody deserves a name. It's a simple but effective way of recognizing their existence. He's not naive enough to think everyone would agree with him on that, of course; least of all scientists who see their creations are subpar to humans... but a part of him hopes the AI will be able to grow beyond simply doing her job. What it will mean for them... only time will tell. ]

yeah
we'll have to wait and see


[ There's really not much to be said or done until she manages to contact them again. Which is annoying, as Ragna is not the most patient man out there, but what can you do. Instead, he scrolls over to read her profile again. "Civilian life" and "new experiences", huh? ]

A2 was it?
if you need anything


[ There's almost a pointed pause after that last line, like he was going somewhere with it and then decided to drop it all of a sudden. He really is one hell of a sentimental fool, huh? Look at him, seeing some vague hints of a combat android in need of a normal life and almost forgetting himself. He shakes his head, and eventually continues in a completely different direction. ]

just ask around
plenty of goody two shoes around here who will fall over themselves to help a pretty lady in a pinch


[ Not him, of course. Duh. ]

[It troubles her to think on it for long, the implications of this place being one big long machine dream. There was enough to have on her mind without losing her mind over that, too. Besides, other than Pascal and his villagers, when had a machine ever been interested in her well being?

And, so:]


guess so.

[She would wait and see too.

She waits a little while for his hanging sentence to catch onto something, and when it doesn't, she sighs.]


got it.
i've noticed. guess i'll see you around, uh


[Give her a second.]
ragna the

.......bloodedge.


[There has to be something shorter than that.

Red Guy! She would remember this.]
