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:

Then what other things go into it? I'm aware that in human world, not everything is natural.

Does it have artificial sugar too? Or what other human made ingredients go into it?

[checkout]

I've no idea, I'm not a nutritionist. I merely drink the fizzy thing in fits of hubris.

[thenicerone]

...May I ask why?

[checkout]

Why, to feel alive!

It's simply a drink, don't think too deeply about it.

[thenicerone]

But I do!

It makes me wonder what kind of humans can do! Even if it is something like a drink since I want to know what else humans can make.

[checkout]

Well I am going to have to disappoint you, then, as I have never made anything that didn't turn out terribly in the end! I am vastly unlucky, you see.

[thenicerone]

Really? I'm sure that there must be something you made well!

[checkout]

Good god, no one is earnestly like this. Stop, please, I am not a little child craving the support of strangers. I am merely not a craftsman.

[thenicerone]

Am I being that earnest?

I wasn't aware that I was. This is the second time someone said that to me.

[checkout]

And yet you weren't aware after the first time.

Never mind, I suppose. What do you make, then? If you are so worried about things people make.

[thenicerone]

Not much?

I suppose I can make some ramen? And make people feel happier by healing them?

[checkout]

Well, that's just lovely. Maybe you could take up a craft.

[thenicerone]

Well, I have been trying to improve on my cooking.

...Do you want to give it a try too?

[checkout]

[honestly No He Does Not, but urghggh--]

Depends on the food.

[thenicerone]

Outside of ramen, I have been trying to make some sushi. I like to think it is pretty decent.

Oh and cooking steak too.

[checkout]

Isn't sushi famously uncooked? Rolled up in fun little tubes? It must be decent if the fish is of a quality.

As for steak, I am ignorant. We import more fish than livestock meat.

[thenicerone]

I think it is. I find myself enjoying it, it's nothing like what I'm used to in demon world.

But I could try to make steak for you if you like.

[checkout]

Yes, I imagine there's less brimstone.

You want me to be a taste tester? Alright.

[thenicerone]

Let me know when you are ready. I'll try to make sure you have the best steak ever.

[checkout]

I have no pressing business to attend to besides watching out for sheep. It's up to you.

[thenicerone]

Then how about tomorrow? I can visit you and see if you like it?

[checkout]

Oh, why not. I am staying at the inn, so simply ask for Havemercy in the lounge and someone will go and fetch me.

[thenicerone]

Don't worry, I will!

I'll be sure to make you the best tasting steak around!
