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.

what kind of work? you got anything more interesting than food service?
chimericalclaw: (a: i see)

[personal profile] chimericalclaw 2025-03-02 09:09 pm (UTC)(link)
That depends on what interests you, but I have plenty to offer. I'd consider delivery service the simplest, but that would depend on what's going on in the city. Otherwise there's organization of packages, files and samples; gathering information on what sort of medical problems concern the people here; physics and engineering research into the effects of different waves on different materials and structures; and a few other positions.

Otherwise, I could always do with someone to oversee shifts and make sure what needs to be done gets done. A few of my local employees have decided they'd rather not show up, so it's becoming clearer that I need more reliable hands.

I can promise there'll be no team-building escape rooms.

starting to feel like i shouldn't have told people about that.

["Why does the whole town know about my trauma?" thinks guy who told the whole town about his trauma. Oh yeah.]

do simulated people have a lot of, like, medical issues? or is that just us?

but is that last one just like a secretary, or a shouting at people in a warehouse kind of deal?
chimericalclaw: (a: calm)

Ha. I won't bring it up again, if you prefer.

[That's why you avoid telling anybody anything true and real about yourself at all, until your simulated prison shoves it out into the open without your consent—]

They have illnesses and injuries like the rest of us, yes.

A bit from both columns, though perhaps without the shouting. Taking the list of priorities, seeing what can and can't be done, reassigning tasks to those who can do them. That sort of thing.

i guess it doesn't matter now.

why would
[--simulations get sick, who would do that, but eh. He can accept that without philosophizing about it.]

never mind. i could handle task management. some people might even say i've got leadership experience from all the team-building.
chimericalclaw: (a: is that so)

[personal profile] chimericalclaw 2025-03-02 09:55 pm (UTC)(link)
[Altius, too, keeps his thoughts about why simulated people would get sick to himself. Ultimately, the effect is that he gets to have his business in a place where it still makes money... and connections.

Speaking of connections! He certainly doesn't mind adding another Chosen to that list.]


I don't doubt that. Are you interested in more of a full-time position, or part-time? I'd be grateful to have you, either way.
coolerjunpei: (011)

[personal profile] coolerjunpei 2025-03-02 11:32 pm (UTC)(link)
part-time, probably. let's start with part-time. am i gonna have to wear a tie?
chimericalclaw: (a: i see)

[personal profile] chimericalclaw 2025-03-02 11:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Let me guess: you'd prefer not to?
coolerjunpei: (only 5 months til that keyword changes)

[personal profile] coolerjunpei 2025-03-02 11:45 pm (UTC)(link)
i never learned how to tie one, soooo...
chimericalclaw: (a: curiosity)

[personal profile] chimericalclaw 2025-03-02 11:47 pm (UTC)(link)
It's never too late to pick up new skills.

[...

...

Okay, fine, he sends another message.]


I won't insist on it, though.
coolerjunpei: (nice neck)

[personal profile] coolerjunpei 2025-03-02 11:49 pm (UTC)(link)
[That sounds like the polite defeat of a man who would prefer his employees wore ties, actually--]

haha, okay. i'll ask charles anyway, he probably knows how.
chimericalclaw: (a: simple)

[personal profile] chimericalclaw 2025-03-03 12:02 am (UTC)(link)
[He's not about to delude himself into thinking he has the luxury of choice, is the thing. Practically nobody around here appreciates a good clean business attire, smh.]

Oh? He does seem like he'd be happy to teach you if he does. [To say the least.] I wouldn't be surprised if he found yet another way to be helpful.
coolerjunpei: (011)

[personal profile] coolerjunpei 2025-03-03 02:10 am (UTC)(link)
he spent months convincing me to buy button down shirts, so. yeah, pretty much.

i have several now, by the way. i can do business casual.
chimericalclaw: (a: calm)

[personal profile] chimericalclaw 2025-03-04 03:01 am (UTC)(link)
That's a decent starting point, I suppose. Better than some I've hired in the past, at least. Let him know I'm in his debt again, will you?
