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:

...Why dog toys?

[cactusy]

why is that the thing people are fixating on?

[thenicerone]

It's a little unusual.

Why would a human want to play dog toys?

[cactusy]

dude, come on

obviously I have a dog

[thenicerone]

Oh.

....I'm sorry, I didn't realize that!

[cactusy]

did you think I just had weird tastes, or what?

[thenicerone]

I suppose so?

But there are humans I've met with strange habits too.

[Who was she to judge?]

[cactusy]

have you met humans with dogs?

[thenicerone]

Yes.

[DRAMATIC PAUSE]

Not they never asked me about dog toys in that manner before.

[cactusy]

technically I didn't either, the dumb AI did

[thenicerone]

If the purpose was to provoke someone into talking to you, I suppose they were successful.

Which I wonder if that is something you're happy about or not

[cactusy]

I'm a little annoyed but mostly neutral

I can just stop talking anytime I want

[thenicerone]

Then why would an AI want to do this?

I know this world tends to play pranks on people but....

[cactusy]

do you want the optimistic or the pessimistic theory?

[thenicerone]

...

Both? I would like to hear both sides.

[cactusy]

ok

the optimistic theory is that it's trying to be helpful, either because it's sappy or because it's trying to redeem us and it thinks making friends will help with that

[Which, well. Methods aside, she can't really argue the concept.]

the pessimistic theory is that it sees us all as criminals that deserve to be punished, even in really dumb and mundane ways.

[thenicerone]

...

But at least you still got some people's attention right? Even if it is trying to punish you, at least you're not alone?

[Even with her asking for both sides, she is still trying to be optimistic okay?]

[cactusy]

oh, you're one of those, huh

I can take or leave attention. especially online attention, which barely counts

[thenicerone]

One of those?

Well, I suppose that isn't a bad thing to be seen as one of those optimistic people right?

[cactusy]

sure, there are definitely worse things to be than kind of annoying

[thenicerone]

Oh.

Then I suppose I'll be kind and annoying?

[cactusy]

kind and kind of annoying

you haven't moved into full-throated annoyingness yet

[thenicerone]

I don't plan to.

Although, I have heard of people being annoyingly kind? Especially when they want to be their friend?

[cactusy]

you don't want to be my friend, do you?

[thenicerone]

Yes, I do. I hope that's okay with you.
