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.

I think I understand. I suppose a surgeon might get sloppy if they're too nervous, so it makes sense for supernatural abilities to follow similar lines.

[oh he's just got a very strong personality that way don't worry about it :)]

I suppose new is relative. I come from a world I'd refer to as mundane in comparison to so many others I've met, but in my short time here I've come to expect the unusual.

Our emotions are also somewhat tied to our powers. So that's something we have to keep in mind when using them too. [ But Shigeru is silent on his end. ]

Oh yeah? I guess there are worlds without magic and curses and gods and stuff. I have thought about it, you know, going to other worlds and stuff?? It seemed like such a cool fantasy back when I was a kid. But now that I'm actually in another world?! It's almost as amazing as I thought it would be...aside from the whole punishment thing.

But meeting new people and getting to learn about their worlds...it's pretty amazing.

[It's almost painfully naive, this mindset. All it's done for him is grant him the realization of how... powerless he truly is, in the grand scheme of things. After all the work he's put in...]

It's certainly a unique experience. I've heard some of us have even met alternate versions of themselves, or others from their own future.

Alternate versions of themselves? Oh! So it's like in sci-fi, time traveling, horror stories where people meet their doppelganger and they try to replace them and stuff?! [ Shigeru what are you reading?? ]

I wonder how reality doesn't break when that happens.
chimericalclaw: (a: is that so)

[... look, it's not like that didn't sort of happen two months ago, but—]

Actually, it's my understanding that a pair of them exists in relative harmony here. They're simply from separate but remarkably similar worlds.

In my view, you could ask the same of this place generally. Many of us seem to hail from planet Earths that are highly similar but still distinct.

It must be a little weird though...seeing yourself and having a conversation with yourself?! [ Can you imagine two Shigeru's?? ]

But I guess as long as they're okay with it. Not that they really have a choice here or anything, but.

Planet...Earth? Huh never heard of it. But a lot of people are from there? Like alternate realities and stuff. It makes me think of the many-worlds theory where the choice someone makes creates a new universe and is exponential. It's pretty fascinating that we get to see it in real-time.
chimericalclaw: (a: curiosity)

I can imagine how strange it must be, yes, but being amicable with one another could have all sorts of potential.

[Meanwhile his alternate selves would just end up trying to kill each other for reasons unrelated to replacing anybody—]

The butterfly effect, isn't it? I don't know if I believe that's the theory behind what we're encountering here, but neither could I begin to guess what might be the source of our separate origins. All I can say is that I can't argue with the concept of parallel universes at this point.
