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.

Hail and well met, my fellow Chosen. I've need of a few acid resistant materials as well as hyuran--pardon, human--eyes. Preferably with optic nerves attached. Do not worry about why.

This message has been dictated.

Hyperetes, be a doll and hit send, won't you? Ah, wait, we need a picture to attach, yes? Do you h

How am I supposed to do anything but worry with a request like that?

Oh, it's not worth worrying about at all.

[There is an urgent beeping from somewhere, then a crash.]

Just a necessity for some surgical sciences, my dear--ah.

To whom am I speaking?

Aaah! Tick-tock, my sweet little clock!

How glad am I to hear you.

Now would be a splendid time to let me examine your head...

[Even if he'd need an assistant to do it. Dante somehow sees without eyes, he must know how.]

immediately back to text

[personal profile] followyourstar 2025-01-02 08:14 pm (UTC)(link)
Yep, I regret it.

More importantly, is there any particular reason why you're trying to get your hands on other people's eyes?
endcaller: (My biology I know. You I worry about.)

[personal profile] endcaller 2025-01-02 08:17 pm (UTC)(link)
Curiosity? A lack of aught that is meaningful to do with my time?

...My own eyes also seem to function no longer. Quite an irritant, that. Thus, an ocular transplant is in order.

Wait, what? You've gone blind?

[They... weren't expecting that.

With some reluctance, they swap back to voice]

You have no reason to apologize!

Though, if you wish to alleviate my tragic suffering, there is a way...

If I remember correctly you have made a business of procuring items of import for others.

Fetch me a pair of eyes. They must be fresh, of course! Rotted ones will do me no good.

[Back for such a short time and already being asked to do something sketchy... Not that they don't do enough sketchy business back home.]

< I've got a business for that, yeah, but I don't know if I'll be able to convince the others to do something like that. >

[and they're not particularly inclined to go stealing someone's eyes either]

< But there are enough people into technology that I might be able to see about getting something prosthetic. >

[personal profile] endcaller 2025-01-02 10:24 pm (UTC)(link)
Hah.

Prosthetic eyes require a great amount of skill to craft. I would be capable of such a feat if only I could bloody well see.

....Very well, see if anyone else has the talent.

[Maybe if someone attacks them first they'll hand the body over, but frankly they don't want that to happen either.]

Oh, there are a few Chosen who could handle an optic transplant procedure...

[Bondrewd could do it, he thinks.]

But you raise a valid point. If I am able to restore my sight then a prosthesis altered to my specifications could prove useful...

[He hums.]

A telescopic feature, perhaps...

[He stands to lose more than they do with this, after all. And they do feel kind of bad for him (even if it does probably serve to limit the harm the local mad scientist can do).]
endcaller: (not here to beta test your buggy code.)

[personal profile] endcaller 2025-01-02 11:52 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, let us hope you do find something! Else I shall have to take that fascinating head of yours.

Whatever affliction ails my eyes... You have the solution.

[Dante perceives things while being a clock. The answer to how they do that could cure blindness, Fandaniel feels sure of it.]
