OKCINDR POST #5

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:

network profile
Character_Name
@username
ABOUT_ME




If you'd like to for shits and giggles, here's some notifications that may be used:

Name (@username) followed you




Name (@username) unfollowed you




Name (@username) blocked you




Have fun! Code credit.

That's right! And it is! It's a very popular game where I come from.

I'm not sure I would be able to replicate it here, though... What a shame. I'd love to play some games with someone.

There are other games
You may find something similar if you look for it
The basics are present
Checkers etc
So who knows

Well, that's good to hear. I wouldn't doubt that there would be other games to play or things would be a bit boring, ehe.

[Not that things are ever boring here, right?]

Do you have any games you like best? Is it checkers?

[personal profile] manifestering 2025-01-22 02:09 pm (UTC)(link)
Checkers is very easy to handle yes
There is another game I found involving crafting a machine to trap plastic rats
I enjoy it but the fine motor control necessary is sometimes frustrating

A rat trap game?

Why would it be frustrating for you? If you don't mind me asking?
manifestering: (016)

[personal profile] manifestering 2025-01-25 02:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes turns are taken to construct the machine and then each player prays their personal rat will not be caught in the radius of capture
Thrilling

To your question it is motor control as mentioned
As a spectre I must exert considerable will to interact with the world
I have a summonable vessel
But it takes time to synchronize mind and body
More or less
I believe the term is butterfingers colloquially

Thrilling!!

Oh, your spectral form is all butterfingers and no grip. That's so unfortunate! That must make a lot of your daily tasks difficult to deal with.

How do you ... eat and drink? Or are you the type of spectre that sucks the energy out of others?

[personal profile] manifestering 2025-01-29 11:19 am (UTC)(link)
I have had a lot of practice

And
Neither
?
I require neither food nor drink because I am dead
And I assure you I am not a "type" of any spectre you can think of

[personal profile] concierto 2025-02-08 01:50 am (UTC)(link)
Oh! Ehe, I see. That's a little more boring than what I was picturing in my head.

[What kind of energy sucking spectre was Venti thinking of...?]

So, even your vessel doesn't need it? Not even a sip of water?
manifestering: (007)

[personal profile] manifestering 2025-02-08 02:28 am (UTC)(link)
No
Well
Perhaps I should say not yet
It is yet unrefined
And it collapses after a number of hours regardless of sustenance or other energy
So technically no

How awful! Here I was hoping I might have found a new acquaintance to drink and play games with! The games part will have to do, hm?
manifestering: (002)

[personal profile] manifestering 2025-02-08 04:11 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh I am capable of having a drink make no mistake
Not perhaps to your towering standards however

[personal profile] concierto 2025-02-08 06:16 pm (UTC)(link)
Ehe, is that so! Well, it's never a competition.

How about it then? Would you like to play a game or two together sometime?
manifestering: (005)

[personal profile] manifestering 2025-02-09 02:13 am (UTC)(link)
I do not see why not
That would be fun

[personal profile] concierto 2025-02-09 02:49 am (UTC)(link)
I think it would be fun too! Ehe!

Then I'll be happy to join you sometime soon! And just in case it was missed, please call me Venti!

[personal profile] manifestering 2025-02-09 06:38 pm (UTC)(link)
Of course
Sometimes our cohorts will suggest we gather
Often at the inn
Perhaps during one of these

[personal profile] concierto 2025-02-14 01:36 am (UTC)(link)
That sounds like a lovely plan! Is it a certain Inn or just The Inn?
manifestering: (012)

[personal profile] manifestering 2025-02-14 02:49 am (UTC)(link)
As far as I am aware there is only the one
The inn with the Chosen proprietor if I am wrong

[personal profile] concierto 2025-02-14 03:04 am (UTC)(link)
I see! Well, that makes things nice and easy. Ehe.

I'm looking forward to meeting you, my new spectral friend.
