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.

Why, there is no effort required on my part! It is simply a facet of Yordle physiology.

A Yordle?
Is all that time good for you to have?

What a question! Well... Time is what we make of it, is it not?

Guess I’m just a curious person.

You might have a point.
Personally, I never have enough time.

Ah, but I suppose that is the nature of this application, is it not? For us to get to know each other better?

[ Nobody tell him what dating apps are usually used for. ]

Things can definitely feel that way, when you are under certain pressures. But I have recently found it is important to make good use of the time you have, as even the most long-lived of us do not know when that time will run out.

I guess so. I didn't make it, though.
So. Hard to say.


[It's okay because Aloy doesn't understand dating apps either. She's still trying to figure out why the old ones thought stuffing an animal would be romantic.]

Now you sound like my sister.
Do you schedule how much time you have to eat?

True enough. I believe we have our artificially intelligent captors to thank for that.

No, nothing so regimented. Meals are had when sustenance is desired or required. (And sometimes, I'll indulge in a snack or two!)

Wait
What's the difference between desiring sustenance, and indulging a snack?

The former is continuing one's basic needs for survival. The latter is just fun!

You haven't had a dinner that's also fun in all those centuries?

Of course I have! That is what we call "killing two birds with one stone."

Got it.
So, a dinner snack.
Very efficient.
