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:

How so?

Isn't the weather a difficult thing to fix?

[despitethenora]

As I know Earth, the biosphere collapsed.
My mother built a system that can restore and maintain it, but since it's been

damaged

Conditions started to get bad.

As long as we restore the terraforming system, that will take care of the weather for us.

[Yes, Aloy is prone to pinning everything on the plan in front of her. No, Aloy cannot define biosphere in a useful way.]

[thenicerone]

May I ask how it got damaged?

I'm not familiar with how things work in your world but it sounds like it must have been something really bad if it managed to get destroyed.

[despitethenora]

It's a long story, but
The main facility had to self-destruct to stop an extinction signal.
I'm the only

Well

My sister and I are the only ones who can access the things we need to fix it.

[thenicerone]

I see.

That sounds like a lot of pressure for the both of you. Especially when it seems like no one else can do it.

[despitethenora]

Well
We all have to bear up to some pressure at some point.
I'm sure you've had your fair share, too.

[thenicerone]

Yes but not to the extent you and your sister had gone through.

[despitethenora]

I'm getting too good at competitions. I didn't even mean to win that one.

[thenicerone]

Oh no! It's fine, I just...was saying that you are strong for doing all of this.

[despitethenora]

Thank you. I think.
You know. You haven't seen me actually do anything yet.

[thenicerone]

But based on what you said to me, it seems like you do a lot already!

I wonder what else you can do!

[despitethenora]

Who knows? I pick things up pretty quickly.
If you think of something, maybe I'll try it.

[thenicerone]

Hmmm...

Sword fighting? Can you do that?

[despitethenora]

I've never trained on that one.
Spears tend to be more practical where I'm from.
Gives you some leverage.

[thenicerone]

I only recently started it!

It's very different from what I'm used to. I'm usually someone who heals people!

[despitethenora]

A healer. That's good.
What made you decide to learn a weapon?

[thenicerone]

...Mostly because I don't want to see my friends getting hurt.

I can heal but I want to do something more.

[despitethenora]

Yeah
That's one of the good reasons.

[thenicerone]

What about you?

Is that why you wanted to learn how to fight?

[despitethenora]

[There's a fond memory tangled up in that.]

The man who raised me started teaching me to hunt because he knew I was going to wander into he thought were dangerous.
Then we made the training a bit more intense. I had wanted to win the Proving once I'd grown.
Where I'm from, people hunt for resources. But you also hunt to make things safer for everyone else. You take things down that could be dangerous.
So maybe he went along with it because

He wanted me to find a place in a community.

[thenicerone]

...

Did you find one eventually? I hope you did because I wouldn't want you and your sister to be alone.

[despitethenora]

We're not alone. We have each other.
And we've made some friends.

[She might have had to correct "allies" to "friends." She's very good at this.]

[thenicerone]

Then that's wonderful!

I hope the same while you're here! I wouldn't mind being your friend!

[despitethenora]

[Excuse her while she has an error. Was it always that easy for other people to have friends? What's a normal way to answer?]


I guess you could show me what you've learned.
With the sword.

[thenicerone]

I'm afraid it's not much!

I think I'm still bad at it but I hope you'll be impressed with what I show you.
