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:

[ sorry A2 ... ]

They're soft and white and fluffy and melts in your mouth!!! And sweet! Like eating pillows, but if they were made of sugar!!!!

You should definitely try them!

[abandonware]

pillows made of sugar. hm.
where do I get them?

[skelters]

Where do you get them?

Lots of places! Some of the shops sell them in big packs, but if you go to someplace that sells drinks, you can ask for one in your hot chocolate!

Hold on-

ATTACHMENT.JPG

See??? I got this one last week!

[abandonware]

oh.

[It's cute... she's not saying this.]

it looks like... that animal. a cat, right? do they all look like that?

[skelters]

Correct!!! It's a cat!!
You win a prize for guessing right! I'll take you to this place and buy you this drink! :-)

[ is he joking or is he really this stupid? unfortunately it's the latter. ]

If you mean the marshmallows, they come in different shapes and colours! The pink ones taste different, you know?

If you mean the cats, they all look very different too! Just you wouldn't put them in a cup of drink like this, haha :-)

[abandonware]

oh, uh.
thanks.
the pink ones taste different. i'll remember that.

[Everyone's so... nice here. To her. It's very unlike what she's used to.]

what is a drink that you like?
other than hot chocolate.

[Maybe she can offer him that in exchange. It feels wrong to be offered a gift and not have anything to give in return.]

[skelters]

Maybe we can ask to give you both and you can see which you like better, how about that? :-)

[ sorry for being stuck in a conversation with this Nice Weirdo ..... smh ]

Hmm ... I don't think I've tried that many, to be honest!
Apparently there is something called 'Mocha latte' ...? That's like if you add coffee in your hot chocolate! Do you like coffee?

[abandonware]

maybe.
ok.
I'll try both.

[Meanwhile, Vash is stuck in a conversation with a Poorly Socialized Cat.]

I've never had coffee.
is it sweet, like hot chocolate?

[skelters]

Oh.
Coffee is not sweet at all! It's kind of bitter, actually? But in a nice way!

Haha, but maybe you shouldn't try it if you really like sweets. :-)
How about fruits? Do you like them?

[abandonware]

bitter... i see.

i don't know if i like sweets or not. i like hot chocolate, but i haven't tried anything else.

i've heard of fruit. i haven't had it before.

[skelters]

What did you use to eat, if you don't mind me asking?

[abandonware]

nothing.

[It occurs to her that she should clarify this statement.]

i can eat, but i don't need to. i'm an android.

[skelters]

An android?

[ give him a minute ]

Wow! That's amazing!! No wonder you haven't tried a lot of food!
Haha, I think it's good that you can still eat - there's a lot of things here to try, you know? You should definitely try fruits! Strawberries are sweet - oh, they can be a little sour too sometimes, but like in a good way? And oranges! And maybe apples? I love apples!

[abandonware]

[This guy talks so much-

While she'd be easily irritated by this normally, what he says is interesting enough that she doesn't have a tantrum about it. And he's nice. This helps.]

yeah. an android.

strawberries, oranges, and apples.
got it.
i'll keep an eye out for those.

[a long long pause]

what else should I try?

[skelters]

I've never met one before! This is exciting, isn't it?
Oh, maybe it's not exciting for you
Um
Sorry!!

[ he'd keysmash if he knew what that was ]

Strawberries are red and tiny, and apples are red and big!

Orange is .... orange?

[ that doesn't sound right. huh. ]

I'd recommend trying everything that catches your eye! That's what I did when I first got here - and I've found lots of things that are nice!

[abandonware]

it's fine. you can be excited if you want.

[her head is spinning...]

red and tiny, red and big, and orange. i... think i have it. i'll look for them.
you hadn't had many things before here?

[skelters]

Oh
If you're sure, then .... alright! Thank you! :-)

Can I ask you a question?
If you don't need to eat, then do you not need to sleep either?

[ he is a merry go round of disaster, plz get away while you can. ]

Nope! It's the first time I've actually tried so many fruits! And they taste totally different to what I'd have expected, it's really fun!

[abandonware]

i don't sleep.
not exactly

[a moment's pause to give into a paranoid thought that he (or someone) might use this admittance of a sleeping pattern to her disadvantage, and then remembers most people here live inside, and the nights were quiet and peaceful.]

i go into maintenance mode.
not often

fun? is eating supposed to be fun?

[skelters]

Maintenance mode, huh ...

[ so ... not entirely the same. he doesn't know if comparing her to his brother is any better or worse, so he won't think about it. ]

Well, it is fun to encounter something new, don't you think?

[abandonware]

i don't know. most of the new things i encounter are shitty.

[It's flatly honest.]

but it's strange here.

[skelters]

Ahaha, well I promise these aren't shitty at all!

[ congrats, A2. you just made vash say a rude word (it doesn't count if he's just quoting)! ]

Just give them a try, you might like them!

[abandonware]

[If she knew this was a rarity for him, she'd be amused. For now, though...]

hm
alright.
i'll try them.

[skelters]

Hehe, good! :-)

Make sure to let me know which you didn't mind, okay?

[abandonware]

[A smiley face? Huh... she wonders why he cares about what fruit she likes (or doesn't) but she's coming to realize that the people here seem unreasonably concerned for her well-being.]

roger that. i'll notify you if I try anything interesting.
