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:

Tut tut!

I was instrumental in resetting the AI, in case you do not recall.

[He and others.]

You are most welcome for the roads not turning into giant serpents or the sky being aflame or whatever other nonsense you may have witnessed.

you are not the sole person i would thank in that regard. others worked to achieve that as well. others i would trust significantly more by comparison.

A counter question then.

What have I done to lose trust in your estimation? Other than being a subdermal irritant of sorts.

i observe and conclude.
and i have known people like you before.

Oh, I very much doubt that.

I am one of a kind!

there are differences to be sure
but i see enough similarities that deserve caution.

enough.
i would know your intent for the AI.

My, my, such suspicion.

'Tis my intent to study it, of course. As I said.

As we exist within a simulated environment, our AI keeper is all around us. If we understand the simulation, we understand the AI and improve our odds of escape.

Sensible, yes?

have you harmed it?

What?

...No?

[Not yet.]

then i would observe you in your studies of it.

You wish to observe the Observer, do you?

You are welcome to do so, but I should warn that studying ore, soil samples and the genetic makeup of local flora and fauna is, perhaps, not terribly fascinating to spectators.

a not unfamiliar task.

Really?

My dear Vincent, have you experience as a lab assistant?

in a manner of speaking.

That was an invitation to tell me about it.

i was a bodyguard to scientists.
that's my story.

Would you like to be my bodyguard?

I promise 'tis quite a body and well worth guarding.

i was under the impression that you desired death

Aye!

But comedy is in the timing. Imagine perishing before then!

Horrible!

[this clown...]

i will be a bodyguard if it permits me to watch you and the AI.

Splendid.

I need to go into town this afternoon. Come guard my body whilst I purchase a few things for the lab.

Then we can retire to the Facility, and I shall give you the grand tour and do your hair.

i'll skip the hairdresser appointment if it's all the same to you

Aww...

I was going to give you a Gyr Abanian Plait, too.

Pass.

Very well, then.

You will at least accompany me in my shopping, yes?
