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.

my subconscious, apparently!

oh right, that wasn't so much a thing back in your time, huh?
aro = aromantic, aka not interested in romance
ace = asexual, aka not interested in doing-the-do

mostly just means I'm here to make friends, not to find love or hookups.

You must have a very lit one!

I guess not. I've only occasionally seen the term around since I came here, and I wondered what it meant. Thanks for cluing me in!
Whoa. Now that's totally cool! I mean, the more friends the merrier, right?

better corn dog dreams than corn dog nightmares, right?

no worries! I didn't know what any of that meant until recently, either. the girl I was trying to date had to clue me in on it.


[ Thereby ending their relationship when Gwen realized she actually didn't enjoy dating as a concept. But Julie was pretty chill about it, so Gwen will always appreciate her for that. ]

For sure!
The last thing I want in my sleep is to deal with the Children of the Corn-Dog!

But yeah, that's neat! I guess these things can take time to figure out. I'm glad you realized it!

[personal profile] variantcover 2025-01-11 09:33 pm (UTC)(link)
thanks! I'm glad too. even if it did take some epically cringe-worthy moments to get there.
digthefuzz: (watch | who me)

[personal profile] digthefuzz 2025-01-11 09:43 pm (UTC)(link)
I can only imagine. Well on the plus side, you don't have to deal with any of the cringey moments that come with trying to date someone anymore!

1/2

seeing as how my ex is here, that's definitely a relief
variantcover: (WUT.)

2/2

[personal profile] variantcover 2025-01-11 09:51 pm (UTC)(link)
UH
$#!%
don't tell him I said that
digthefuzz: (watch | nervous laughter)

[personal profile] digthefuzz 2025-01-11 10:07 pm (UTC)(link)
LOL! My lips are sealed. As are my texting fingers!
But now I gotta know who it is!
variantcover: (bashful WCA)

[personal profile] variantcover 2025-01-11 10:11 pm (UTC)(link)
uh... Quentin? idk if you know him
digthefuzz: (watch | sheepish smile)

[personal profile] digthefuzz 2025-01-12 01:00 am (UTC)(link)
Oh I know him alright. We've been living under the same roof! LOL
I never would have guessed
variantcover: (QQ is bored)

[personal profile] variantcover 2025-01-18 12:06 pm (UTC)(link)
oh, convenient!

yeah, we dated a few years back when we were on a team together.
it's old history, but it's all chill now so like, don't worry about any awkward tention.
digthefuzz: (watch | super casual)

[personal profile] digthefuzz 2025-01-19 06:46 am (UTC)(link)
It is a very convenient living situation! I guess we mutant boys gotta stick together

Good! I'm glad! It must be cool to move on and be chill like that. That sounds like the ideal when things don't work out!


[He feels very relieved that he doesn't have to experience what Quentin's like with awkward tension.]
variantcover: (huh look up)

[personal profile] variantcover 2025-01-23 11:35 pm (UTC)(link)
yeah...

[ Gwen's just glad Quentin doesn't resent her for the shitty way she broke things off with him. But she guesses that there were other, more important things happening for him to hold a grudge over a breakup text. ]

anyway, what about you? what's the craziest dream you've ever had?

I think one time I dreamed that every time I teleported, I became a different animal. Being a penguin could be pretty dope
variantcover: (thinky face)

[personal profile] variantcover 2025-01-26 08:09 pm (UTC)(link)
oh dude, I love penguins! I have a penguin backpack and everything.
being a teleporting penguin would be so cool.
except...
if the conceit of the dream is that every time you teleport, you change into a different animal...
then you'd only be a penguin with the potential to teleport, because as soon as you actually teleported, you'd stop being a penguin.
digthefuzz: (watch | who me)

[personal profile] digthefuzz 2025-01-27 05:33 pm (UTC)(link)
Who doesn't?? They're like the coolest birds!
You got a point. And you made it sound deep!
But it's fine. I just won't teleport! Just being a penguin is awesome enough.
variantcover: (shrug argue)

[personal profile] variantcover 2025-02-01 07:48 pm (UTC)(link)
wouldn't you miss being able to BAMF, though? it's kind of integral to your whole schtick.
digthefuzz: (watch | yeah right)

[personal profile] digthefuzz 2025-02-04 02:36 am (UTC)(link)
You do have a point there! I can't go forever without teleporting. But who's to say I can't spend a satisfying amount of time in a penguin's flippers and then go poof?
