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:

[For better or worse, her pride means she's happy to indulge herself on this topic.]

Maybe.
If I nock three at a time, the grouping won't be as precise, but it's usually good enough for what I'm taking on.
Might be able to get two volleys off.
Better, if I'm starting from higher ground.

[checkout]

Higher ground? A cliff, or some such? How high do you leap from? I've never lived anywhere with variable terrain, this is all very thrilling to hear about.

[despitethenora]

[A stunning difference between Aloy and Beta is the correct answer to Aloy is an immediate:]

What's the highest thing you've got?
Why didn't you have variable terrain?

[checkout]

I don't know, a particularly daunting railing in a cargo hold? I was raised on a space station. Very boring terrain, if it even counts. And the nearest moon is mostly ice.

[despitethenora]

A space station?
What's that like?

[She knows humanity reached into the stars, but most of what she's learned so far is focused on the Zeniths and their Sirius colony.]

[checkout]

Hm, very chrome in places. When you leave and touch ground you can still feel the way it spins for a decent long while. So many signs posted about fire safety.

Besides the quirks it's much like any other city. Commerce, crime, entertainment. Politics.

[despitethenora]

Right.
Just like any other city.

[She'll just try to liken that to her visits to Meridian. Probably the closest experience she has.]

If it's out there, everything would have to be closed in.
How can there be any trade?

[checkout]

Yes, just spinning. And we have shuttles and ship docks like any other city, only spacefaring. We are very out there, but ships visiting our local moon appreciate the parking. The moon isn't equipped to have that many starships landing on it at once.

[despitethenora]

That would be interesting to see.
Where I'm from, anything off planet was a major project.
Hard to imagine it as a hub of activity.

[checkout]

I've lived there most of my life, in fact! Although most of humanity's efforts have historically been planetside, yes. Or moonside, depending. Things must have gone differently long ago for our variant Earths, or however it's supposed to work.

[despitethenora]

Seems like it.
Pretty unlikely we've got anyone out there anymore.

[That'll happen when you and your sister go on a space billionaire killing spree.]

[checkout]

Really? That's a shame. Yours is the first I'm hearing of that isn't baffled and boggled by space travel as a viable option. Alas, I am all alone again.

[despitethenora]

Well you can still tell me more about it, once in a while.

[checkout]

Oh, would you like to know more? Then you ought to tell me more sometime about your exploits with that bow! We can have a cultural exchange!

[despitethenora]

Meet up with me sometime.
I can show you something. If it's supposed to be a cultural exchange.

[checkout]

Alright, I'd like that. Do you like cats? There is a cafe full of of them for some reason, it's quite... cute. Not for arrows of course, but for my half, that is only words.

[despitethenora]

Wouldn't really know if I like them.
Let's plan on that. I can find out.
Do you have its location?
