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.

un: Witch

Tis simply a word used by simple-minded fools.

I am a mage, as is anyone who is born with the ability to do magic. But I do not belong to a Circle, so I am an apostate. 'Witch' is just meant to be an insult, I suppose, though I do not know why I would be insulted.

I suppose that makes sense. I've heard of it being used in an insulting way in the past where I come from as well.

But as far as I know, in my current reality it just means someone who can do magic. I don't think I've ever heard the word 'mage' being used in that context before. It's kind of interesting, how in one world it's the definition of someone with magic, and in the other only meant in an insulting way.

What context have you heard 'mage' used in, then?

[She's curious, despite herself. Mages and magic have a terrible reputation back home in most places, especially in the South, so it's interesting to hear about other worlds where it existed]

It's not really a word that's used where I come from.

When it is used, it's only in old-timey sort of contexts. You know, like in fantasy movies about wizards, stuff like that. My crazy grandfather might have called himself something like that.


[ Never mind the fact that those are two wildly different contexts.. Morrigan would get it if she knew Kinzo, really. Even though no one should know that man ever. ]
