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:

sounds like 2x more than most people do it, yeah. how did it work the first time? was it really a comic?

[variantcover]

well, everybody who's here is halfway to catching up with me, right?

and yeah, for real a comic. inks, colors, lettering, and everything!

[coolerjunpei]

i guess. does it count less if there are a lot of us?

how did that even work? were you 2d all of a sudden?

[variantcover]

OH, good question... you don't get many mass-isekai stories, huh?

nah. nobody in the comic book universe KNOWS they're in a comic book. so once you're in there, it looks and feels 3D like any other universe.

like, think about it. this is supposed to be an AI simulation, right? do you feel like you're made of 1s and 0s?

[coolerjunpei]

yeah, i don't know what they'd call that genre. lost and its derivatives? although maybe gilligan's island and its derivatives makes more sense.

and i guess not... that kind of makes sense. do you think someone's watching us on a screen like we're the sims 4, or are we 1s and 0s?

[variantcover]

oh man, a multiversal Gilligan's Island would be fun. I call not Mary Ann!

dunno. but if I start seeing a green diamond over anybody's head, I'll be sure to say something.

[coolerjunpei]

i call being a crowd extra or something, i'm not signing up for those plots.

and better say something fast or else it's gonna be shoo flee woofum all the way down... that's probably how we sound to this AI, already.

[variantcover]

what, you mean you don't want to make a ham radio out of coconuts and palm fronds?

don't worry. if I find myself speaking full on simlish the whole of Aldrip will hear about it.

[coolerjunpei]

knowing this place it might actually work but it still wouldn't get us out of here...

i'll translate for you if you get stuck in it. i've got qualifications, i had the expansions.

[variantcover]

I dunno... how do I know you won't just put me in a swimming pool and then take away the ladder?

[coolerjunpei]

psh, i would never. might turn your time up to 2.5x if it gets boring though.

[variantcover]

oh, great, so you can watch how fast I make trash and not clean up after myself until I'm living in my own filth? no thank you.

[coolerjunpei]

then you're going to have to be real good at getting everyone else into simlish too. shit, do you think the ai has a reaper? should we be checking all the locals aren't secretly reapers in disguise?

[variantcover]

do you know a way of outing a secret reaper? I left my notebook with cheat codes back in my other universe.

[coolerjunpei]

off the top of my head no, but how hard can it be? maybe if someone starts playing dead all over town.....

[variantcover]

I guess we'll just have to keep our eyes peeled for any suspicious green floating diamonds...
