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:

It sounds similar to Piltover to some degree though with definitive differences. I come from the fissures of an underground city called Zaun myself connected to Piltover but has been looked down upon by the topsiders until just recently.

[Surely there were many still many who harbored ill content towards his people who lived in Piltover despite coming to their aid in the assault Ambessa and the Herald but things were slowly improving.]

[thenicerone]

Oh? May I ask what happened afterwards? Did everything turn out okay in the end? From what you're telling me; it seems that it must have been really bad.

[Or at least, based on what the stories she had read about in the human world anyway.]

[howyouseit]

There were many hardships along the way but in the face of potential cataclysmic annihilation our people united together to stop the pursuers who could have brought death and destruction to our nation, no, the entire world of Runeterra as a whole.

[thenicerone]

Wait, the entire world?

May I ask...why that is? Why would anyone want to do that?

private;

[howyouseit]

[And this is where Ekko switches this to private given the culprit in question is amongst them here in Aldrip and promised his mentor not to expose the future to the other willingly.]

That's right. The Anomaly in question sought out to use a power source which would have brought about unnatural change to consume my world corrupting both its citizens and environment. They wanted to assimilate everyone into a singular entity of consciousness in the pursuit of dominion over everything and everyone.

Thankfully I was able to stop them in the knick of time though with great sacrifice to those who's lives were lost defending our home from the ensuing chaos.

private;

[thenicerone]

That's a rather scary though. I can't imagine being part of one single entity and especially when someone is trying to take over me. It was terrible once, I don't think I can try to do that again.

...But you are a really brave person for trying to stop them. It must have been really difficult.

[howyouseit]

Especially when the oppressor wants nothing more but to seek out and destroy that which they once held dear to them blinded by greed.

I only did what anyone else would have done in the situation but even if I did save our civilization from the brink of destruction it was not without our fair share of losses.

[thenicerone]

...And you are going to be okay right?

...As much as you can.

[howyouseit]

I came out mostly unscathed which is more than I can say for some of my closest companions but I appreciate your concern.

If I might ask what exactly is your name?

[thenicerone]

My name is Yukina!

It's a pleasure to meet you, Ekko! I hope you didn't mind me asking, I have yet to experience the world outside of my village.

[howyouseit]

Nice to meet you too, Yukina. Guess that's one thing we have in common I've never really ventured outside the city limits of Zaun or Piltover myself either.

Trenchers like me don't really get the luxury of travelling outside their own turf given our everyday struggles just to survive but I was trying to change all that.

[thenicerone]

But it seems like it would be changed for the better!

...Hopefully you'll get to see your efforts when you go back home. I know a lot of us are trying to figure out how.

[howyouseit]

Maybe some day. I'm not in any rush.

[Everyone he genuinely cared for was here in Aldrip already along with those he'd lost in the process of the hard fought peace.]

[thenicerone]

Really? I'm surprised, most people said they want to go back quickly.

[howyouseit]

I've bore witness to a lot of senseless violence and death in my home world recently so until now I would be inclined to agree with you.

Things...are a bit different now.

[thenicerone]

...

Even if things might get violent and death might occur here too?

[howyouseit]

At least the death of those here who've been lost to me back home isn't permanent by comparison.

[thenicerone]

...I'm sorry. I wasn't aware of that.

[howyouseit]

It's not as though you could possibly have known do not worry about it.

I have been given a second chance with those who've met an untimely demise and that's more than I could possibly hoped for upon my arrival here.

[thenicerone]

That's very optimistic of you to think like that.

...I can see why you were able to do so much.

[howyouseit]

Sometimes you have no other choice to be strong in the face of adversity even when things look bleak.

Without faith in ourselves and others what more could we possibly do to combat the trials thrown against us, right?

[thenicerone]

I suppose not.

But...that's a really inspiring thing to say. I have to admit, I'm not sure what to say after that.

[howyouseit]

As someone who takes on a leadership role for those around me keeping up moral is an everyday struggle.

[thenicerone]

...

How do you do it? If you said it is a struggle, how do you manage to do it everyday?

[howyouseit]

They say hope is the only thing stronger than fear and I try to live my life according to that creed.
