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.

Up to the same old tricks again, are we?

One's past informs who they become, it is never too late to change for anyone who truly intends to.

[personal profile] machizumo 2025-01-03 02:42 am (UTC)(link)
what's with this shit picture??!
Anyway yeah. Unless you got amnesia, the past means something one way or another. That's kinda a dumb question.

Better question: what tricks?

it was the first on one of those disposable cameras Botan used for some time, when we were all together back home. Why it's showing up here is the real question.

The inquiries that this app asks are usually about this interesting, it will also fill out your profile for you if you're not careful.
machizumo: (it's whatever bro)

[personal profile] machizumo 2025-01-03 02:54 am (UTC)(link)
Instigating, huh? What for?
Probably a dumb question, right? cause what's any of this for?

No one truly knows, although there are many theories. Whatever it is, the majority are in agreement it has nothing to do with these so-called crimes we've apparently committed. I have yet to see an idea of what they're a possible cover for though.
machizumo: (my ribs is broke ouch.)

[personal profile] machizumo 2025-01-04 06:36 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh right, the crimes stuff.
You don't even get time for a lot of this stuff, so it's a huge overreaction!


[ Which is just another way of wording "this is here as an unknown cover for something else," isn't it? ]

This is dumb.

This place seems far more concerned with making us accept parts of ourselves we may wish not to than regulating any actual crime.
machizumo: (school bites and i bite at it.)

[personal profile] machizumo 2025-01-23 11:39 pm (UTC)(link)
I see.
Well, kinda.
I mean what they're accusing me of is just past stuff that I can admit to and just doesn't matter any more.
So maybe I'm just a bad candidate for this shit.
sinningtree: (Y - YYH053_1247)

[personal profile] sinningtree 2025-01-23 11:45 pm (UTC)(link)
what, exactly, are they accusing you of?
machizumo: (you are made of butts)

[personal profile] machizumo 2025-01-23 11:48 pm (UTC)(link)
"Disorderly conduct".
Which just sounds like tattle telling bullshit.

[personal profile] sinningtree 2025-01-24 12:20 am (UTC)(link)
Yes, well, if our crimes are only a thinly veiled excuse to get us here, I suppose they don't truly matter.

I am far more interested in whatever they are a cover for. Forcing us to act out alternate realities hardly counts towards atonement.
machizumo: (these fuggin' punks)

[personal profile] machizumo 2025-01-24 03:01 am (UTC)(link)
That's how it goes, huh? Is it alternate realities like, 'oh what if you did this instead of that'?
They watch it? They record it or anything?

Every instance has been explained as some accident, an infection from another world, much like the makai insects, or a glitch in the overall simulation. After so many incidents it becomes a truly convenient story, rather hard to believe that they all happened by pure chance.

As this is a simulation it is safest to assume that everything is recorded here, unless proven otherwise. The entire world is some form of code.


[He tried to explain this to Hiei but at least Kuwabara has a concept of technology, so it should go over better.]

The glitches are more complicated to explain. They lasted for months and influenced everything from our physical bodies and memories to the environment itself. For instance, I spent a great deal of time in my original fox form. There was also a time that Hiei and I had an entirely different life in demon world without meeting any of you or recognizing this place at all.

[He doesn't mention the duplicates situation, Kuwabara might need to get that information from someone else.]
machizumo: (you are ready for a whooping.)

[personal profile] machizumo 2025-01-24 09:08 pm (UTC)(link)
Man. Hard to draw any kinda conclusion when it's hard to get your head around the supposed concepts in the first place. Feels real, right? So it's hard to imagine it's not. But I guess it might as well be.

Anyway when you say all that it's like
If it's a simulation, the point's the practice something right? Or gather up data? So what's more important, how we affect the program or how it affects us?
I don't know if I'm wording that right. Like... Is it a void we're supposed to shape or is the program meant to change us?

But I don't figure there's a good way to know or somebody would know by now.
Anyway we can't be random selections. Out of everybody in however many universes or whatever, the five of us get plucked up?
And lots of people treat extra-human power like it's no big deal so they can't be random choices either.

Indeed, it does feel very real.

Truthfully, I believe that it does both. Our experiences shape us here the same as they would back home, whether we notice it or not. Perhaps the timeline is a bit more accelerated due to the nature of things here. However, we also change this world. From my understanding the city originated as a small primitive town that has developed over time based on the input of the residents. Centuries of development in the span of several years.

A majority of the Chosen have some abilities to speak of, or at least come from a world where those abilities exist. Although, in that case, it does make one wonder why they'd be selected rather than someone else from that world with an ability. Imagine Keiko being the one to arrive here rather than any of us.
machizumo: (dgit dude really.)

I don't know, Yukimura might handle it as well as anybody else. Don't know how well or not that applies to other more normal people.

So they want power maybe? Or knowledge of power? As it exists across however many places.
Of course there's probably a whole long list of other objectives that could fit.

She might, but what would their purpose be in selecting her rather than someone with a power to study or perhaps take, for instance? Why are those people selected instead of a more fitting member from their world? What would they hope to gain from those people being here?

Studying our abilities or trying to use them to some advantage sounds almost too logical for the way this place operates.

Maybe they're looking for something in particular and they don't really know how to find it. Like Sensui picking up his crew while he was also looking for something specific. It was still to his advantage to have multiple guys at his disposal even if they couldn't break the barrier.

Or maybe their plucking people up aim is just bad.
It's not like they're setting us on anybody else or anything. Unless they are and I just missed that part.

There is also the matter that it seems whoever was originally in charge abandoned this project well before any of us got here.

[Did he forget to mention that?]
machizumo: (school bites and i bite at it.)

[personal profile] machizumo 2025-02-03 02:30 am (UTC)(link)
Oh. Yeah. I guess that's worth knowing.
Research stuff works like that though right? Like people can cycle out. It's a job.
