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:

@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.

CODING

But can you mend a poor broken heart?

quite the commission, aye??
'twould be presumptuous of me to say yes out of hand.
i suppose it depends upon the client.

[Hmm.]

Good enough!
There's this guy I know, you see, he's recovering from a veeeeery toxic relationship. I'm looking for advice to comfort him.

[ huh. not his usual sort of healing, but viktor's no stranger to fake it 'til you make it. ]

ah! i see. in that case, patience is your key ingredient. you cannot heal that which does not wish to mend, but there are ways to grease the wheel.
remind them that they are one whole person on their own. does your friend enjoy good food? adventure? music or plays?

If anything comes into mind, it's definitely sunsets and long walks on the beach! And I guess good food, too. Does that mean I should surround him with things that he likes?

[ these all sound like nice things to viktor! things he would definitely do with his friends! wcgw, chat?? ]

aye, that's the short of it!!
perhaps a picnic?? you could go on the hunt for shells and things, as well.
oh, or build a sand castle?? a bit of fishing??
would he prefer things or time, do you think?? 'tis about letting him know he is valued, still, and worthy of better things than what he'd escaped.

Oooooh those sound like great things to do at the beach!! Maybe I should try and turn it into a party! He always loves to be in the spotlight, after all!

I'm not sure what he'd prefer, but he's a guy who loves partying and causing a ruckus, so maybe he'd like to have more things to do rather than staying still? I bet he'd love a sand castle built in his honor!

if he favors being the center of attention, then, aye!! mayhap a party is in order? bonfires by the water are always wonderful. especially when there is barbecue. and music.

you'll just have to watch out for those strange lines, i suppose.

Barbecue, check! Music, check! Thanks muchly for the help ~

Right, those lines are reaaaaally creepy, aren't they? Have you tried touching them?

aye, muchly welcome! do let me know how it goes for you and your mate.

oh, no. curious as i am about whether they're secretly wet and squishy, seems the sort of thing one should not go poking.
have you??

I sure have! I thought, "what's the worst that could happen?" and I guess I could die, but I'm perfectly fine, aren't I?

In any case, my ability works through touch, and turns out this one isn't affected by it. My skills only works on other abilities, which means this is some kind of natural phenomenon. They're not dangerous - you'd feel a little queasy if you touch them, though.

ah, but there are things far worse than death! do not chase it too readily, little duck, lest you discover one of them.

'tis good to know you are unharmed, at least. if you should feel any late blooming effects, do not hesitate to seek the aid of a chirurgeon.

what is this ability of yours??

Oh, so I'm a duck now? Don't worry, it's not that easy to kill me! ...I guess getting hurt would be a bother, though.

Long story short, my ability negates other abilities with a single touch. If you try tossing a fireball at me, for example, it wouldn't hit me!

you do radiate an energy most fowl.

[ cue a solid 20 seconds of viktor laughing at his own wretched joke.

okay he's better now. ]

oh. how curious!! what constitutes an ability??
spellwork, it sounds like, aye??
what if someone's body is changed by magic??
oh!! or if someone is possessed by an entity??

Oh my! How could you! That certainly ruffled my feathers!

[Two can play this game, you know!]

Anything that isn't someone's natural state or part of their normal skillset counts as one! So if it's changed by magic, I can nullify it with a touch!

Possession is tricky though. I'm not an exorcist, you know!

ah, my apologies!! and here i was meaning only to quack you up!!

[ scientists will study this exchange for generations and decide that it was in fact as dorky as it looked at first glance. ]

so if someone dyes their hair, it WON'T change back, aye?? [ ... asking... the... ?important? questions? ]

'tis quite the fascinating ability, honestly!! is it one you can control? activate and deactivate at will, i mean.
is physical medicine more prominent upon your star? i suppose it must be. how else might you receive healing?

[ a few moments pause before another message. ]

apologies. nevermind all that. 'tis rude of me to make you feel like a subject of biological study.

As long as you don't kidnap me and subject to scientific experiments, I don't mind!

It would depend on how the hair is dyed - if you do it the usual way, using hair products, it won't change back. If you use magic though...oops! Sorry about that!

And nooope, can't turn it off. Good catch on that one - medicines and doctors can heal me, but healing powers won't do anything!

you needn't fear that, duckie. the very limits of my scientific experimentation are "will this food i found on the floor make me sick?" i'm fine enough being my own test subject.

hells, how's that like??
what i mean is, was it always like this for you? have you a frame of reference for it not being that way?
do you mind it? is it fun??

[ not a scientist, he says, and then proceeds to ask 10,000 annoying questions. ]

Wow, at least invite me to dinner first ~

[Gotta tease him a little!]

AH! you rascal! all this time you were after my senior meal discount, weren't you?

I meaaaaaan, if you're offering....

should a meal make my barrage of questions more palatable, 'twould be my pleasure.
you'll have to pick the place, though. i fear i am not yet acquainted with the best spots, yet.

Not to worry! I know aaaaaaaaaaaall of the good spots around here!

[This is a hyperbole.]

Any preferences, though? Food or drinks that you like?

oh, i am not so picky, aye?

[ understatement. there is a greater than zero chance he would attempt to eat a rock if it were painted to look like a piece of cheese and left where he could reach it. ]

have you a favorite place here? seems a good place to start.
