expiationnet | OKCINDR POST #6

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 March 2nd, characters randomly look back at their tablets to see the following:

OKCINDR PROFILE RESET #6
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?
- what is the real you?
- will you still love someone if they're no longer themselves?
- what is a wish
- what are you prepared to do to have your wish fulfilled? would you die for it? kill for it?
- what kind of world do you wish for?
- are all wishes equal?
- does everyone deserve to have their wish come true?
- do you think your wish is more important than the wishes of others?
- will your wish coming true make you truly happy?

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:

My offerings depend on what you're looking to expand into with this new enthusiasm on life.

that's like... the total opposite of how hiring people works? i've had jobs before. i know.

You're already employed by me, so this is a promotion not a hiring. So, which skills are you looking to find a place for now?

my huge secret stash of action hero mind reading powers, duh.

seriously what are you talking about? either you've got jobs to fill or you don't.

want some help with that?
dying I mean

[ He's quite confident it's something he can do. And that next part definitely makes Ragna want to try it. ]

what exactly do you intend to do to "study" her?

theyre saying im not supposed to be here.

They would be liars. You have every right to be here. I attest to that.

Ragna the Bloodedge

@grimreaper666

can't believe I have to say this again but

I'm not letting any of the Chosen's dreams come true

Oh. If that's accurate, I have a use for it. You were a detective before yes?

but theyre right.
i died, so im not supposed to be here with anyone.

Aw! How dear of you to offer! But my death should be nothing short of a grand spectacle.

[There is shuffling, then he coos]

"Her?"

Well, if you must ask. The AI exists all around us as the simulation we find ourselves woefully trapped in. There are many ways to study it.

The behaviors of resident wildlife.

Ore samples.

Star charting.

Anything of that nature should suffice to start.

That depends on what interests you, but I have plenty to offer. I'd consider delivery service the simplest, but that would depend on what's going on in the city. Otherwise there's organization of packages, files and samples; gathering information on what sort of medical problems concern the people here; physics and engineering research into the effects of different waves on different materials and structures; and a few other positions.

Otherwise, I could always do with someone to oversee shifts and make sure what needs to be done gets done. A few of my local employees have decided they'd rather not show up, so it's becoming clearer that I need more reliable hands.

I can promise there'll be no team-building escape rooms.

You've never died, Jinx. You've had multiple close calls, but never has your life been snuffed out.

you seriously think i have mind reading powers? i don't. and this place doesn't need detectives.

starting to feel like i shouldn't have told people about that.

["Why does the whole town know about my trauma?" thinks guy who told the whole town about his trauma. Oh yeah.]

do simulated people have a lot of, like, medical issues? or is that just us?

but is that last one just like a secretary, or a shouting at people in a warehouse kind of deal?

@mandervilleofficial

i see little point in wishing. if you would have something, work toward it.

as a for instance, should you be in desperate need of tailoring or mending, consider me your heart's desire. for a reasonable price.

no, i did. vi told me. when we were fighting against vander, he attacked her when she couldnt fight back. so i sacrificed myself for her.

im supposed to be somewhere else.

Ha. I won't bring it up again, if you prefer.

[That's why you avoid telling anybody anything true and real about yourself at all, until your simulated prison shoves it out into the open without your consent—]

They have illnesses and injuries like the rest of us, yes.

A bit from both columns, though perhaps without the shouting. Taking the list of priorities, seeing what can and can't be done, reassigning tasks to those who can do them. That sort of thing.

@fauna

a wish is a regret
something you regret so much you cant bear it
so you have to rely on wishing because theres no other way to make it better
but wishing doesnt help
it only makes things worse
my wish hasnt changed though
i want a just world
i think most people would wish for that
or i hope so anyway

i guess it doesn't matter now.

why would [--simulations get sick, who would do that, but eh. He can accept that without philosophizing about it.]

never mind. i could handle task management. some people might even say i've got leadership experience from all the team-building.

what, gonna to start freaking out and call me a psycho now? go ahead. everyone else runs from me.

why the hell would I do that? I'm not gonna treat a friend like trash

[Altius, too, keeps his thoughts about why simulated people would get sick to himself. Ultimately, the effect is that he gets to have his business in a place where it still makes money... and connections.

Speaking of connections! He certainly doesn't mind adding another Chosen to that list.]

I don't doubt that. Are you interested in more of a full-time position, or part-time? I'd be grateful to have you, either way.

Southern expressions. I reckon ya ain't from there. Or from the States?

I don't know, Sugar. Fightin those demon beasts, and dealin with our doubles are enough strange for me. That if ya ain't countin that dream stuff, and that was no stroll in the park either.

[normal. she can act normal. all she has to do is be herself, and there will be nothing to it. ... what is her normal again?

maybe she should just start this conversation off with a joke. jokes are funny, they make people laugh, and jinx is a pretty funny girl!

'you're not. you're trash, garbage. don't touch those keys. i said DON'T. TOUCH. IT. or you'll regret it.']

yiiikkes. really putting the "grim" in grimreaper666, huh?
