OKCINDR POST #5

[expiationmods]

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:

oh, Morph, cool to meet you! I think Quentin mentioned you were here.

really? that's awesome! no one's ever invited me to try out the Danger Room before!

[ Countdown to when Gwen inevitably does something to piss people off and get herself banned from the X-Mansion... But until that point, she's definitely going to take advantage of the opportunity to sharpen her skills. ]

[mightymorphin]

heheh, we have enough people here for a small team, so the mutants keep in touch.

we're all in this together, so it only made sense to let anyone who can fight use it for training. if you need a primer on how the system works, either Rogue or I can help you out.

[variantcover]

[ How do you say "I've seen the Danger Room used in comics and TV enough times to get the hang of it" without saying exactly that? ]

I think I can figure it out. but if I have any troubleshooting issues, I'll definitely give you a ring.

[mightymorphin]

[It's also the 90s version of the Danger Room, so hopefully the fact that it's now classic technology won't be a problem.]

great! there's usually at least one person in the mansion, just be sure to shout loud if you need us. it's a big place.

[variantcover]

man, if only my powers worked here. then it would be no trouble popping up a few floors for help.

[ Just a quick trip out of one panel and into another. Too bad this place isn't a comic book so things don't work like that. ]

[mightymorphin]

your powers are on the fritz? I've only seen that happen temporarily here. what is it you can do?

[variantcover]

well, I'm sort of a reality warper? except the way that I warp reality is really specialized to the specific way that that one reality functions. so now that I'm in a different reality with different rules, I can't do any of the stuff I can normally do.

maybe if I can figure out the way this place works, then I can find a way to manipulate it like I manipulate stuff on Earth-616. but that might take me a while.

[mightymorphin]

woah, that's pretty cool! I can see why you're having problems... this place being a simulation, it's not likely that anything we're interacting with here actually exists in a physical sense. but hey, good luck with getting the hang of this place.

[variantcover]

yeah... until I get the hang of how this simulation works, I'm pretty much back to being a normie. there might be a version of me out there in the multiverse who's been in video games, but this format is still new to me.
