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.

never fear! your friendly neighborhood aroace icon is here to save the day and explain newfangled terminology!

aro = aromantic, meaning I'm not interested in romance
ace = asexual, meaning I'm not interested in sex

that clear things up at all?

[personal profile] thenicerone 2025-01-05 09:24 pm (UTC)(link)
I think so? It means you're not interested in romance or sex, right?

What an interesting term, I never heard that being used by humans before!


[Said the demon who lived in 90s era Japan.]

yeah I didn't know about it until pretty recently, either
but ever since I found out about it it was like
✨~WOOAAHHH~✨
so many things make so much sense now!!

[personal profile] thenicerone 2025-01-06 05:19 pm (UTC)(link)
I wonder if that would describe me as well?

I'm not particularly interested in sex or romance so this is still a new term for me.

could be!
the nice thing about these kinds of labels is that you can try it on for size, and if you find that it doesn't really feel right, then you just drop it and pick up a different one.
humans (and whatever you might be if you're not human, I guess) are pretty fluid that way.

[personal profile] thenicerone 2025-01-07 11:34 pm (UTC)(link)
You're right, I'm not human! I'm a demon!

These kinds of labels never existed in demon world and I haven't heard of it in the human world either. To know such things is kind of nice!

It makes me wonder what else humans can do!
variantcover: (look up)

[personal profile] variantcover 2025-01-08 12:14 am (UTC)(link)
I mean, I'm not really human, either, if you wanna get technical about it. I'm a mutant.

but sexuality and identity aren't just human things... they're person things.
thenicerone: (Runaway)

[personal profile] thenicerone 2025-01-08 06:45 pm (UTC)(link)
Really?

I wasn't aware of such things. Where I grew up, it was about staying away from others in fear that they would hurt us. All of this is so new to me.
variantcover: (💣shock)

[personal profile] variantcover 2025-01-11 09:28 pm (UTC)(link)
huh... sounds like demons and mutants get kind of the same treatment from most people.
thenicerone: (Do You Feel)

[personal profile] thenicerone 2025-01-12 03:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Really?

What kind of world do you live in where it is the same for us?
variantcover: (texting)

[personal profile] variantcover 2025-01-18 12:08 pm (UTC)(link)
well, on Earth-616, most laypeople hate and fear mutants. anti-mutant violence is one of the more long-lasting throughlines of most stories you see come out of that universe.
thenicerone: (Conqueror)

[personal profile] thenicerone 2025-01-18 09:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Earth-616?

There are more than one Earths in your world? This is the first time I ever heard something like that!
variantcover: (tongue out arms up)

[personal profile] variantcover 2025-01-23 11:41 pm (UTC)(link)
oh, uhhh...
no, it's more like a multiverse?
so 616 is the designation for the whole universe, not just Earth.
and then other universes have other numbers, like 1610 or 199999.
thenicerone: (The Devil is Human)

[personal profile] thenicerone 2025-01-24 01:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Then it must get confusing. If there are different universes, would there be more than one of you?
variantcover: (look up)

[personal profile] variantcover 2025-01-26 08:06 pm (UTC)(link)
uhhhh possibly? there's more than one of a lot of people.

[ But there being more than one Gwen Poole would mean that there's more than one real world. Which... Really, when Gwen thinks about it, is actually way more likely and plausible than she would have initially thought. After all, isn't every world real to the people who live in it? ]

huh, this conversation is kind of mindfreaking me all of a sudden...
thenicerone: (The Devil is Human)

[personal profile] thenicerone 2025-01-26 09:55 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm sorry, I didn't mean to upset you.

I thought it was pretty interesting.
variantcover: (dizzy)

[personal profile] variantcover 2025-02-01 07:47 pm (UTC)(link)
no, it's ok, I'm not upset. I've just never thought about there being more than one of me before.
thenicerone: (Murder Song)

[personal profile] thenicerone 2025-02-01 09:37 pm (UTC)(link)
...

Well, I like to think it might be a good thing. It means you're not alone, right?
