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:

Cars and trains, yeah. We used a bus. There are only a couple of districts close enough to the Great Lake for boats to be a good choice for getting around, to my knowledge?

But also there's only one City back home, unlike here. Aldrip's small compared to what I'm used to.

[southernchere]

Who you tellin!! Aldrip is a peanut size when it comes to New York. Been here for a bit and I still ain't used to it.

But that's mighty strange that ya'll don't got any planes, tho. It's a lot a car, but longer and a lotta seats inside and everybody crammed in like mashed can of sardines.

[followyourstar]

Altius told me about them. Not about how tight they were, though. That part sounds... uncomfortable.

You're okay with it being filled up so much while you're all in the air like that?

[southernchere]

Unless you're a rich folk, that is. First and business class, ya get all the fancy stuff and the legroom.

Well now that I can fly, I don't really need it. But I have piloted Blackbird from time to time. And it ain't so bad! It gets ya from where you wanna be faster than a train and boat. If fallin from the sky is what shiver your timbers, it don't happen as often as ya think.

[followyourstar]

Even in other worlds, some things never change.

It's more a combination of being so tightly packed *and* being so high up? I don't know why, but I feel like having room to walk around would help.

[southernchere]

Haven't been on many trains or boats where you're allowed to walk around. Most of them wants ya to stay put when it's moving.

Less we talkin about subways but best stay away from them. Those are where all the fighting goes.

[followyourstar]

They are? This is the first I've heard of that being the case.

[southernchere]

A lot of the homeless or those who are going thru real rough times mainly sleep on the subways. And they do tend to try and fight folks cuz they're a little unwell. It ain't much of a pretty sight.

[followyourstar]

[Aside from the word "homeless," which they can guess the meaning of even though they haven't heard it before now themselves...]

I hate to say it, but... that just sounds like most places back home. Not that I'm trying to downplay your experience or anything. It's just...

Sometimes I'm reminded how different my home is compared to everyone else's.

[southernchere]

You all right, Sugar. It's sad that it happens on other Earths. We do provide shelters and help for those who are roughin it, but. Ya can lead a horse to water, but that don't mean it'll drink.
