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:

You were also a victim of its lies, then? The cruelty must be widespread.

[How strange to be told such a thing. But she supposes if she were to expect it from anyone here, it would be from Minato.]

don't risk your life for me.

[It's a while before she says anything else.]

i believe you, but... don't do anything stupid on my behalf. i'll be fine.

[Another pause.

Finally:]

thank you.

Surely not for anyone here though.

Unless there are people here who come from your world. I don't imagine so.

[ She's pretty sure Rafal would have talked about it if that was the case. Ange has found that people who come from the same or a similar world here often speak of it.. ]

[ Dang, Shaw. Now that's dedication. Ange is in fact a little bit surprised - and even impressed! - that she actually went to hunt it down.

Most people here wouldn't have bothered, after all. It's rare to have what feels like an actual intellectual conversation like this. ]

Nothing whatsoever? Are you sure of that?

Please don't imagine I'm trying to fish for details. I don't need to know. It's just that this place seems to be really good at digging up absolutely every single detail about us somehow.

hide, huh? now why would I wanna do that? Is your wish really that dangerous, A2?

[Ok, so he's curious. Sue him!]

I don't know, that's a more philosophical question than I was planning on getting into

[But sure, she'll answer it; it's not a bad question, and given the tenor of this place, as well as its stated goals, it's certainly relevant.]

physically, no, nothing whatsoever. you ask me, being ashamed of your appearance is pointless.

if we're talking actions, I still don't really do shame. but we're all here because we've done bad things, right? I've definitely done things I should be ashamed of.

[Earlier in her time here, she would think to protest his notion that she's kind. By now, however... she knows that no matter she insists that the people here will insist otherwise. And besides, they're right — her kindness had been one of her most hated weaknesses. She has yet to understand why she doesn't see it as a weakness in others.]

bonds between individuals...
what if they go away? disappear.
that's what [i'm afraid of, she almost says] i think about. what do you do?

it could be.
if they show up, they're dangerous. androids don't need to sleep. their senses are better than any human. and they're dedicated to their missions.

No. But it matters, surely.

that kind of talk reminds me of an old partner and a friend of mine. he's an android too, A2.

you wanna know the one thing we learned while dealing with a problem?

[ Oh, so Gilgamesh can get one? Sweet! Maybe he has one a lion in his Gate of Babylon.

No, he doesn't. ]

Just hire a maid or create an environment for the lion.

[ So we can have a lion then? Nice. ]

Simply hire a maid or create an environment for the lion to live in.

[What would you do, indeed, when you are the representation of the very thing that makes some disappear. Death might not be permanent here, but it is in many other places, and when he comes to claim one's soul - that's it. That's the end.]

Even if people disappear, those bonds will never go away.

It might be painful, and it will get lonely, but I will cherish those memories that we spent.

I'd be glad that they happened in the first place rather than to know nothing, I think.

sure. what did you learn?

even if it doesn't logically make sense, don't underestimate humanity. even against all those odds, they'll surprise you every time. well, eventually.

. . .

[he looks at his phone in the way that asks are you done patting yourself on the back yet?]

wow. imagine that. still don't want it, though. anyway, where do I find your gracious ass to pay these damn cubes back?

flashier doesn't mean anything if you ask me. The way I see it, it's how you come up with ways to use itーthe more creative, the better. You know?

is that so?
hm. [She thinks of the humans she'd met so far and wonders if any of them would be able to figure out a way to stop something like her.] i'll take your word for it.

you're gonna need more than words to really get it. at least, i did.

i mean, from my experiences, i'd say the ones with the most humanity, sometimes weren't even what others deemed "human".

[that's what Adam taught him with his actions, anyway.]

so... don't underestimate yourself against those odds, either.

i see. another "lesson" i guess. people looove doing that to me here.

[He's right, though. It's hardly a sentiment she can bring herself to believe. She'd met humanity now, and for whatever flaws and atrocities they may have committed as a race...

How could she compare?]

i don't ever underestimate myself in a battle. [Not anymore, anyway.]
but it's not good to be cocky, either.
i'm just saying. if you see any androids, it's smarter to go the other way.

No way. The last time I tried something like that the pet kept being nearly eaten by students like every second day. ....including the servants.

[Where they almost eaten or did they join in in the attempted eating? The world will never know.]

I'm already keeping you, that's more than exotic enough for me.

that's what I did
the psa I mean
for all the good that's gonna do

a lesson, huh? well, that's all the chit chat you'll hear from me on it. i'm better with actions, anyway. so, it's probably a shitty lesson to begin with.

[He's teasing now. He's said what he's said and can't remain broody for long. It's a dangerous thing to open up too much, after all.]

what a coincidenceー neither do i. so, you're someone who's on the front lines a lot? Then you'll know that if i see 'em i'll go somewhere elseー so long as they aren't in my way to begin with.

No, I thought it would be nice to make some friends while I'm here.

Do you even have enough?
