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.

Yeah sure. No big deal.
So it's a computer? AI is sci-fi crap, right?
entreats: (to come back home)

[personal profile] entreats 2025-01-05 08:52 am (UTC)(link)
Yes. To both of those questions.

[ Especially since Ange comes from way before AI became some mainstream thing, so it sure does seem like 'sci-fi crap' to her too.. ]

I imagine there must be someone still controlling the computer though. I mean, that AI still had to be set up by someone in the end, right?
machizumo: (school bites and i bite at it.)

[personal profile] machizumo 2025-01-09 01:54 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah.
I mean I guess so. I don't think a computer or robot or whatever could just appear out of thin air but I don't know much about computers and robots or whatever. And a lot of times I'll figure something's impossible and it happens anyway.

So it feels like you're right but if you're wrong I won't hold it against you.
entreats: (and i will be dead)

[personal profile] entreats 2025-01-15 12:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Wow.

You're a generous guy.
[ Granted, she definitely means that in kind of a dry, sarcastic way..

But it's a little harder to pick up on tone through text, so who knows if he will. ]


Are you really sure you won't even get the temptation to tell me 'told you so'? Not even just a little bit?
machizumo: (oh hey baby you know)

[personal profile] machizumo 2025-01-16 01:05 am (UTC)(link)
Thanks.

[ Nope! Unless this is also joke-y, 'cause also... ]

No cause I didn't really tell you anything. I don't have a counterpoint or anything.

[ It's not joke-y, but lost tone might also include dopey earnestness. ]
entreats: (fathers don't know all the rules)

[personal profile] entreats 2025-01-22 02:40 pm (UTC)(link)
[ ... ]

So you're not thinking at all about this place?

You don't have any assumptions as to what's going on?


[ Sorry, Kuwabara, it's just that it's so hard to imagine that for Ange. She's practically had theories since the first moment she appeared in this place.. It's what happens when you're as paranoid as she is. Not necessarily a good thing, really. ]
machizumo: (whoa dudebromandude)

[personal profile] machizumo 2025-01-23 08:38 pm (UTC)(link)
It's not that I'm not thinking at all. I can admit I'm dense sometimes but come on...
It's just that there's apparently no telling what's real or not, right? Feels like everything's as likely as the next thing. Maybe I'm missing school and flunking out, but maybe I'm still there and here I'm just
I don't even know what it would be. Computer shit. Data. Holograms?
Or maybe this is my brain hooked up to something and my real body's a vegetable now.

But I feel like I'm here so whatever. I'm here.
Circling around everything else isn't gonna do me or anybody else any good.
entreats: (it's hanging over my head)

[personal profile] entreats 2025-01-30 04:01 pm (UTC)(link)
Of course it's going to do good.

Not necessarily circling around or whatever, but we need to think about what's going on with this place. We need to find out more all the time, one way or another.
[ Not that it's such an easy thing to do - or Ange would have been long gone at this point.

So it's not even that she blames him for not knowing anything yet. It's just that she wants to encourage a habit that she finds good in a situation like this, namely-- ]


Otherwise we're all going to be stuck here for the rest of our lives.
machizumo: (you are also on crack)

[personal profile] machizumo 2025-02-03 01:45 am (UTC)(link)
What's that even mean in this context?
Like do people age here? Die?
entreats: (how the person inside survives)

[personal profile] entreats 2025-02-10 02:13 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm not sure about aging. I don't think anyone has been here for long enough for it to have been noticeable. Especially since we don't get a whole lot of younger children in this place.

People do die though. But if you die, you just return. Some people have told me it's like a video game.


[ Not like she knows what those are.

But she figures he might know? Or be able to understand it better that way, maybe?? He is a guy.. ]
