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.

[Another point for making Viktor laugh, and he follows that up easily with,] He would recommend you not wager with me either.

[Ha ha. Now, as far as their, hm, mutual thought experiment fantasy here about running away from parties, he's flattered. Think of all the footnotes they could write on people's papers in private.]

I could have lived with "perhaps." You would have been a highlight.

But was I wrong?

[ in his wager, that is — no, it's a joke, still, and he doesn't expect a response to it all, entirely pleased to focus on the hypothetical of this world where they might have lived at the same time.

pleased, yes, in the kind of way that is half surprise and half something else, something that makes him look down almost sheepishly, like he isn't sure how to take the compliment and yet cherishes it dearly at the same time, not least for that it comes from octavian, specifically.
]

Really? [ again, not asked because he needs a response; it is mostly a huff of air, a quiet comment, as if his brain is still stuck on the possible truth of that and needs a moment. but when he has had it, ] So are you. Here, now, in this place.

[ not would have been, but are, because it's true. ]

[Ha ha— Octavian shrugs; they'll just never know, Viktor will have to play cards with him and find out himself, huh! He'll pencil that in for their next big gay date pleasant outing that Viktor pays for.

That aside, oh, it's quite sweet and endearing the way Viktor reacts to compliments, isn't it? It is, and Octavian will make a note of that for later. Possibly during a card game, who can say.

He says,]
Flatterer. [Which is true, and as he holds up a hand to preempt Viktor saying he's just being honest, also true is,] It is working. And I believe you.

[He is utterly charmed, for all that he's only a little capable of showing it. Being here imagining these scenarios where they're colleagues in the same world is proof enough, but just in case: it's working.]

[ he's seeing cards in their future, just as he is seeing himself probably losing very badly — but somehow, this view of the future isn't all that terrible, mostly because it means spending more time with octavian.

and it seems like his somewhat-impulsive comment hasn't made things worse; if anything, it is better, with that confirmation that his words are working.

and imagine that — he's never been particularly great with his words, or so he feels in any case, and yet somehow with octavian, finding the right thing to say feels... easier.
]

Good, [ is all he says in response, taking a sip of his drink; good that it's working, good that he believes him. ]
