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.

[Who is Claremont?? Some obscure music group? Maybe that gets really popular later in the year...]

[personal profile] variantcover 2025-01-13 12:04 am (UTC)(link)
phoenix?

...as in the phoenix force?


[ Ruh roh, Rooby-Roo. Is the Phoenix Force here??? ]
laserguy: (major ew)

[personal profile] laserguy 2025-01-13 12:18 am (UTC)(link)
okay chalking that one as a yes.

so, i sort of have that? but not really, like, she's definitely nowhere near as strong. probably something to do with the glitches or maybe just a different version or whatever. oh, right, to make a long story short: glitches happened, world was reset, and then i got birdbrain.

in your world, it's jean that's supposed to have her, right? or quentin. actually, did we ever figure out which world you're from??
variantcover: (point gasp)

[personal profile] variantcover 2025-01-18 12:33 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm from Quentin's world.
so yeah, he and Jean and a couple of other people have hosted it.
her?
idk... I don't wanna be rude to an omnipowerful cosmic entity

but I'm pretty sure as long as the phoenix force isn't actually EATING anything, then there's probably no cosmic bird doodoo inside you.
laserguy: (what do you think)

[personal profile] laserguy 2025-01-19 07:39 pm (UTC)(link)
oh so you knew quentin from even before this place. i'm sorry. :p

well, whatever phoenix is right now, the one i have, isn't omnipowerful.
[At least right now and Scott hopes it stays that way. If that older Scott who seemed far more control of himself couldn't handle Phoenix, he's probably fucked. Kotone promised that they'll handle the bird together, but. It's hard sometimes to think about.] so don't have to worry about that. she's appeased by eating crackers. which.

uh. why i asked about the cosmic poop.
variantcover: (one finger)

[personal profile] variantcover 2025-01-23 11:45 pm (UTC)(link)
knew him? we even dated for a bit.

[ So yeah. Apology accepted. ]

oh, huh...
well, if she's eating crackers
I figure she probably incinerates them, instead of turning them into cosmic bird poop?
laserguy: (summers scott)

[personal profile] laserguy 2025-01-24 02:46 pm (UTC)(link)
[......Holy shit what??]

wait seriously?? you dated quire?? what possessed you to do that?

[He likes Quentin, really. Also he's going to pivot talking about this over bird because wow.]
variantcover: (rub neck)

[personal profile] variantcover 2025-01-26 09:28 pm (UTC)(link)
[ ...Dammit. She should never have let that slip. ]

can't we talk about cosmic bird poop some more?

[ Ah, well. It's too late now. The pink haired cat is out of the bag. ]

it's kind of a long story. we were on a team together. a bunch of the other people on the team were also hooking up. it just kind of felt like the thing to do at the time.
I hadn't really realized by that point that I wasn't into the whole dating scene.
laserguy: (okay not bad)

[personal profile] laserguy 2025-01-27 05:29 pm (UTC)(link)
nope.

you only dated quentin because everyone else was in a relationship? okay i see why this didn't last long. kind of a crappy reason.

but really? like. not interested in dating anyone at all??
variantcover: (GSB shrug)

[personal profile] variantcover 2025-02-01 07:54 pm (UTC)(link)
isn't that what young adulthood is for? doing stupid things for crappy reasons?

[ Like dating and making out and not looking any deeper into your own sexuality because you're afraid of confronting your own fears and insecurities? ]

yeah. not interested in hookups, either. it's called being aroace.
laserguy: (yeah cool)

[personal profile] laserguy 2025-02-02 07:15 pm (UTC)(link)
okay fair. are you two on okay terms now? won't be a problem if there's a big team up?

so, aroace. haven't heard of that before, but cool.


[A few of his friends are all about having multiple boyfriends at once, so guess the opposite of that is definitely possible.]
variantcover: (aroace icon)

[personal profile] variantcover 2025-02-07 11:47 pm (UTC)(link)
oh, yeah, no, we're cool. you don't have to worry about things being awkward.

[ Thankfully, when your universe is facing world-ending calamities every few months, you tend to get over little things like who broke up with who over text pretty quickly. ]

oh yeah, I didn't really learn about it until pretty recently either.
aro = aromantic = not interested in romance
ace = asexual = not interested in sex
laserguy: (courage)

[personal profile] laserguy 2025-02-08 04:08 pm (UTC)(link)
so basically, not interested in any romance or sex at all. i think i get it.

just want to hang out and have friends.
variantcover: (thumbs up)

[personal profile] variantcover 2025-02-14 08:40 pm (UTC)(link)
got it in one!
congrats, you have gained +1 level in LGBTQ+ allyship!
laserguy: (daily life)

[personal profile] laserguy 2025-02-15 03:57 pm (UTC)(link)
uhh great, cool.

[He has no idea what that is, but sure.]
