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:

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.

That sounds like something that you ought to be familiar with. But seriously, have you tried to 'die' here before? Even if it doesn't work for good, it might still give you some important hint.
endcaller: (One does not simply Telnet into Mordor.)

[personal profile] endcaller 2025-03-03 09:42 pm (UTC)(link)
I did but once, and a well-meaning hero saved my life. Isn't that always the way?
nuraridouman: (pic#17070165)

[personal profile] nuraridouman 2025-03-03 09:50 pm (UTC)(link)
Not in my experience. But I'm also a monster from the POV of humanity and the gods. Things might just work differently for us.

[But a hero that saved the day had practically never shown up in time even back when he had still been a human. Not for the ordinary folks, or those he had dealt with. "Heroes" were the privileges of the rich and the influential. ...which made them no heroes at all in Douman's opinion.]
endcaller: (Can I see your skull mister?)

[personal profile] endcaller 2025-03-03 09:55 pm (UTC)(link)
Perhaps I should have clarified that I meant here. Isn't that always the way here?

By the standards of Chosen, I am sure you are very worthy of saving.

Shall we put my theory to the test?
nuraridouman: (pic#16975882)

[personal profile] nuraridouman 2025-03-03 10:03 pm (UTC)(link)
No need. Trying to let myself be hit would be a pain, and I already have the answers I need from some previous interactions with certain other Chosen.
endcaller: (I think I'll try defying gravity.)

[personal profile] endcaller 2025-03-03 10:24 pm (UTC)(link)
Come now, you give me too little credit. I can think of myriad ways I could place you in mortal peril without needing to land a single blow!

But...well....

[A breathy sigh, followed by a thoughtful pause.]

What were we talking about again?
nuraridouman: (pic#17064207)

[personal profile] nuraridouman 2025-03-03 10:31 pm (UTC)(link)
Your lack of success at dying.

[He doesn't sound bothered at the thinly veiled threat. There are plenty of youkai and others that could easily harm Douman, realistically speaking. But that actually plays into his own youkai powers, and he isn't young enough to be overly bothered by hypotheticals anymore.]

Congratulations on catching the AI, by the way. Am I right to assume that it's not Jerry?
endcaller: (sleeper relieved of consciousness)

[personal profile] endcaller 2025-03-03 10:39 pm (UTC)(link)
"Catch" it? It exists all around us.

I wonder at times how you people think all of this works.
nuraridouman: (pic#16993834)

[personal profile] nuraridouman 2025-03-03 10:50 pm (UTC)(link)
You know what I meant.

Did you get anything out of that thing? Like hacking it and getting it to upload a virus to the rest of the system?
endcaller: ('Tis an ill wind that blows no minds.)

[personal profile] endcaller 2025-03-03 11:10 pm (UTC)(link)
Mercy, my friend, such accusations!

I have barely begun my studies, having just acquired my old laboratoriums. And even if I had I would never do such a thing, perish the thought.

[Would. Has. Still looking for a way to get his feedout of information.]
nuraridouman: (pic#17040864)

[personal profile] nuraridouman 2025-03-03 11:45 pm (UTC)(link)
What a pity.

Then I will have to look for somebody else who can do it for us. Congratulations on regaining your laboratory, though.
endcaller: (waffle on the ceiling)

[personal profile] endcaller 2025-03-03 11:48 pm (UTC)(link)
Why would you want it done? You silly thing.
nuraridouman: (pic#17143206)

[personal profile] nuraridouman 2025-03-05 02:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Isn't that obvious? I want to break this thing. Whether it's a lock, the jailer's reason to keep us or the cage itself doesn't matter to me.
endcaller: (pontificate pontificate pontificate)

[personal profile] endcaller 2025-03-05 07:24 pm (UTC)(link)
I daresay we all want out of this cage. But best to do it in a way that won't kill us all in the process, hmm?

[pffff lol]

private;

Of course, the greatest question is how you expect this endeavor to work.
nuraridouman: (pic#16975882)

switch to private

[personal profile] nuraridouman 2025-03-07 12:21 am (UTC)(link)
Yes, yes. As long as that not killing lightly is extended to both sides I'll behave.

[The teenage pout is nearly audible in his voice as he shakes his head with a wry smirk. Why oh why does he have a hard time buying that humanistic sentiment from Fandaniel?]

private;

Frankly? By whatever's necessary. Don't you want to find out what it takes to take the laws of this place and bend them so bad that everything breaks and you can see all the cogs and wires turning beneath those cracks?
endcaller: (Moo with me!)

private;

[personal profile] endcaller 2025-03-07 01:30 am (UTC)(link)
Aye.

I wouldn't mind breaking the simulation so thoroughly that the world of mirrors comes to the fore. To accomplish this, however, we must have a better understanding of the AI that forms this illusory world.

Re: private;

[personal profile] nuraridouman 2025-03-07 02:00 am (UTC)(link)
And you think that you have a good shot at that?
endcaller: (Space is blue and birds fly through it.)

private;

[personal profile] endcaller 2025-03-07 02:29 am (UTC)(link)
I do.

Do you doubt me?
nuraridouman: (pic#17070162)

Re: private;

[personal profile] nuraridouman 2025-03-07 02:41 am (UTC)(link)
Yes. But something tells me that I probably shouldn't.

What makes you think that you can do it?
endcaller: (Dying is easy. Comedy is hard.)

[personal profile] endcaller 2025-03-11 02:32 pm (UTC)(link)
You are aware I am a scientist, yes?

One who hails from a civilization far more technologically advanced than this paltry city. I was the greatest researcher of my time, and I am not one to make empty boasts. I find such behavior vulgar.
nuraridouman: (pic#17070169)

[personal profile] nuraridouman 2025-03-12 03:38 pm (UTC)(link)
"Scientist" alone doesn't tell me much.

Physics, biology, chemistry, books, music, medicine, technology, robotics, geography,... Take your pick. You'll need to be a little more specific than that.
endcaller: (I hate being cheered up. It's depressing)

private;

[personal profile] endcaller 2025-03-12 03:50 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, I have expertise in a great many fields. You can do that when you're immortal.

My specialties, however, are biology, chemistry, and technology.
nuraridouman: (pic#17040864)

[personal profile] nuraridouman 2025-03-16 10:49 pm (UTC)(link)
My, that's quite the explosive mix.

What kind of biology, exactly?
endcaller: (So this dyslexic guy walks into a bra...)

private;

[personal profile] endcaller 2025-03-16 11:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Chimerobiology.

I doubt your star has an any understanding or terms for it. 'Tis a field that requires great understanding of multiple scientific disciplines.

There. Have I proven the veracity of my claims or have you more questions?

nuraridouman: (pic#17143204)

[personal profile] nuraridouman 2025-03-16 11:19 pm (UTC)(link)
Chimero? Like chimera?

There are actually both several kind of living chimera types that I am familiar with, as well as the cobbled together by science new life forms -- though those are more of a newer trend.
