OKCINDR POST #6

[expiationmods]

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:

It is not control I lack.

Merely . . . troubled feelings that gave rise to rage.

[startraveler]

Then you could get tips on how to deal with anger. Or maybe someone to talk to about what irritates you.

Sometimes just talking a lot about what troubles you is enough to make you feel better.

[nilhilistic]

And that will suffice?

That seems unlikely.

[startraveler]

Even if it's not much, it's better than doing nothing about it at all.

And if it doesn't work out, you look for other options.

[nilhilistic]

I will not waver on my oath or my commitments.

I simply do not think I have earned forgiveness.

[startraveler]

I understand, but when do you think you will earn it? What do you think you have to do to deserve forgiveness?

[nilhilistic]

I have millennia. Time is no hardship for me.

[ but he doesn't have an answer. he's not sure when. or how. he only knows he should not have it. ]

[startraveler]

Even so, atoning for your misdeeds for hundreds or thousands of years is hardly something anyone should do. Especially that you truly wish to change.

I have a friend who was once forced to do horrible things in the past until he was saved. Ever since then he's been fighting to protect people, no matter how exhausted or hurt he is. He's been doing it for hundreds of years... And as his friend, I wish for him to see that he can allow himself to relax and rest. He's done so much already.

[nilhilistic]

I held my sister's hand for a thousand years. I prayed for her return every day. In an empty world. There were no birds. No animals. No people. All I ever did was hold on.

And she came back to me.

Fate has been gracious enough.

[startraveler]

[A thousand of years in the empty world...]

That must have been very lonely, but I'm glad fate was kind to you.

Still, if fate offers you more, I don't think it's greedy to accept it.

[nilhilistic]

It is the epitome of greed. I managed to bring someone back to life.

How many have wished it so? With virtues and souls better than I?

[startraveler]

Sadly, that's not a question I can answer. Every world has its own rules. Every fate is different.

And yet I don't think you should see yourself as greedy. Your dedication gave life back to your sister and now you're also given a chance for yourself. Don't you think not using it would be a waste?

[nilhilistic]

How can it be a waste?

I've dedicated myself to working for the good of the worlds.

[startraveler]

Part of working for the sake of others is also being there for them as a person.

[nilhilistic]

I'm not much of a person.

[ but. ]

There may be something to that.

[startraveler]

Little steps.

I believe in you. I'm sure you'll be fine.

[nilhilistic]

You are oddly positive about this.

[startraveler]

Maybe I'm just a positive kind of person.

I think it's better to see the brighter side than to dwell on things we can't change.

[nilhilistic]

That's not a mentality that comes easily to me.

[startraveler]

I understand. Like I said before, everything takes time.

[nilhilistic]

And I do have plenty of time.

[ and patience. well. he used to. now he's not sure. ]
