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:

317 // male // not interested in romantic companionship - - - - - What a clever little application this is! Whoever is responsible for its programming gets my kudos. Although, if what I have heard tell of is true, that some of our fellows here have had their "profiles" written for them without their consent or knowledge, that is indeed quite a concerning misstep. Perhaps a second set of eyes on the coding behind this endeavor would have been prudent, no? I'm afraid my specialty is hardware, not software, otherwise I would gladly volunteer to assist with a re-write. I'm afraid I will be giving the survey about sleeping, dreams, forgiveness, et al a pass. But, if anyone is up for some stimulating conversation about various scientific fields, please do feel free to respond!

Are you really 371 years old? Or are you being "clever" by writing your age in months or some other nonsense?

@pr.heimerdinger

[donger]

No, I am really, truly, 317 years old. We Yordles age quite differently than humans do.

[eternalcutie]

So there's a whole species that can live that long, how interesting. Your body must age incredibly slowly.

[donger]

That is a part of it, yes!

un: howe

[manifestering]

What is your preferred field
?

Re: un: howe

[donger]

I am an engineer by training, but I have dabbled here and there over the course of my years.

You?

[manifestering]

Is that your favorite
?

I too have dabbled in engineering
And chemistry and alchemy most frequently

[donger]

I do believe it must be. I quite enjoy physics as well, but there is something just supremely satisfying about building a new invention with your own two hands.

un: unitA2

[abandonware]

[This is a lot of words... where should she start here.]

you don't look that old.

[donger]

Ah, A2! Lovely to speak with you again.

How old would you say I looked, if you had to wager a guess?

[abandonware]

hm.

not a day over 100.

[Imagine her delivering this deadpan.]

I don't actually know.

your species must be long-lived.

[donger]

Quite a flattering estimate! I will take it!

Yes, we Yordles do live quite longer than most humans or other mortal species.

un: viktor

[runeing]

I'm afraid you would have to reach whoever or whatever is running this place to assist with the re-write, professor. Easier to just... deal with it.

[donger]

Ah, I see. Another byproduct of our confounded AI captors. How exasperating!

[runeing]

A very apt description, yes.

[ does the dry tone translate through text... ]

Have you settled in alright?

[concierto]

Not interested in romantic companionship? Is there something about love you'd rather skip?

[donger]

Who has time for love, when one could be dedicating their focus to more meaningful pursuits?

[ Like SCIENCE!!!1! ]

[concierto]

[Not a nerd!!!]

Ehe! Tell me, then! Is there a pursuit that makes your heart race the same way a special kiss with someone sweet, might?

[howyouseit]

Guess you got to fill out your profile unlike some of us, huh?

We need to find some place we can safely work on our next inventions. Primarily somewhere your prototypes won't destroy.

[Just a playful jab at his mentor. <3]

[donger]

The trick, I believe, is to respond to the notification promptly upon receiving it, thereby depriving the device of the opportunity to take the reins from you.

[ AKA become an ipad grandpa like him and you can write things for yourself! ]

Ah yes, a laboratory space would not go amiss. As worthwhile as it ahs been for me to familiarize myself with this new city, I am itching to get back to invention!

[howyouseit]

My main focus has not been the network of this device but rather gathering intelligence on our would be overlords along with our newfound surroundings.

It might take some time to procure but it's a worthwhile venture that would allow us the freedom to conduct our experiments.

@alphaoverride

[despitethenora]

What did you have to do to get a lifespan like that?

[Don't mind her. She's just seen some real jerks do things for immortality.]

[donger]

Why, there is no effort required on my part! It is simply a facet of Yordle physiology.

[despitethenora]

A Yordle?
Is all that time good for you to have?
