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:

can't believe I have to say this again but

I'm not letting any of the Chosen's dreams come true

[normal. she can act normal. all she has to do is be herself, and there will be nothing to it. ... what is her normal again?

maybe she should just start this conversation off with a joke. jokes are funny, they make people laugh, and jinx is a pretty funny girl!

'you're not. you're trash, garbage. don't touch those keys. i said DON'T. TOUCH. IT. or you'll regret it.']

yiiikkes. really putting the "grim" in grimreaper666, huh?

[rebellions]

well yeah
I've got a reputation to uphold

[ The reputation of the local asshole, of course.

But since he's already bothered to open the stupid app... he does notice her profile's a little wonky. And sure, it could be just the system doing its thing, but Ragna would prefer to make sure she's fine. Still... how does he even approach the topic? ]

how's uh
life?

[ Flawless. ]

[opheliac]

oh, u know. the same old shtick. feeding the furballs, making drinks, building things. jinx being jinx, ha! hows tricks on ur side?

[rebellions]

[rebellions]

[ Well, if she doesn't want to talk about it, he won't pry. She should know by now that if something bothering her, she can speak to him anytime; if she'd rather he provided her with a distraction, he can do that, too. ]

same old
cleaning the church
making sure old man doesn't get shanked in the back
watching the world come apart at the seams
a peaceful uneventful life

[opheliac]

u? cleaning? since when were u a maid?

[rebellions]

I know right
I've always told the old hag this place needs too much upkeep
and look at me now
oh how the turns have tabled

text; un: unitA2

[abandonware]

stop being cryptic.
what is this supposed to mean

[rebellions]

funny
I don't remember asking for opinions

buuut since you're asking oh so nicely
I mean if shit goes down again and suddenly we have genies popping outta bottles promising people to grant all their wishes I'm not letting them take the bait
all that'll do in the end is fuck us over

[abandonware]

if you don't want an opinion, then don't post anything here.

anything like that would be an obvious trap. this whole place is a trap.

[rebellions]

thanks for the tip
now watch me completely disregard it

sure is
and you can be sure people will still fall for it

[abandonware]

it's stupid to complain about something you can stop at any time. whatever.

so what's the warning for then if you're soo sure nobody's gonna listen? all to say 'i told you so?'

[rebellions]

pretty much yeah
and so they can't complain when I beat the crap outta them

text; un: principal

[nuraridouman]

And why is that?

[rebellions]

now don't get me wrong
if they actually work for it then be my guest
but if they some-fucking-how stumble upon a magical wish-granting macguffin I'm stuffing it up their ass before they have the time to ask if they can have for more than three wishes

[nuraridouman]

Ah. Feel free to continue as you like, then.
Anybody who thinks that those things really come "for free" only has themselves to blame.

[Douman has learned that the hard way. Even though he had been prepared and paid the price in advance with his humanity as a whole, the full consequences of his wish had still hit him like a sledgehammer and left him with a trauma or two. It had been worth it in the end, since that one wish had given him the time needed to realize his goals with his own power... But sometimes the monkey's paw that curls still pierces his back rather than scratches it.]

[rebellions]

gee thanks
I wasn't asking for permission

[ Ragna is not a fan of the idea of wishes being granted willy-nilly; not because he doesn't want people to fulfill their dreams, but rather because he knows it always comes with the price of making things worse for everyone else. No one should have the ability to force their ideas or wishes upon others. ]

[nuraridouman]

Then you won't mind either way, right?
It just means that I won't deem your actions reason for interfering unless you do something outstanding stupid - you know, the Sacrifice Myself To Save Others kind of nonsense.

[rebellions]

[ That single comment manages to unsettle Ragna more than he ever imagined it could ─ he's fairly sure he's never even told anyone here that he's dead back in his world, let alone the circumstances surrounding his sacrifice. And yes, he wouldn't hesitate to do the same thing again if it meant fixing this world and turning it into a better place for Jinx and others ─ not that he's willing to admit as much, which only makes that last part even more uncomfortable. ]

now why the hell would I ever go outta my way to do that?
I don't do that hero crap
if shit goes down you fuckers are on your own

un: ushiromiya

[entreats]

Is this actually seriously you filling this out or is this thing getting even weirder than before?

[ She's not even being deadpan, okay. She's genuinely kind of worried here!! ]

[rebellions]

well I'm not half-naked in the picture so
that's a pretty good indication I had a say in it

[ Tragically, he does have a point there. ]

[entreats]

I don't know, maybe it decided to go a different route for once. I kind of appreciate the lack of half-naked pictures.

[ Sorry, Ragna. ]

But what do you mean then? It's not like you to say stuff like this. It's more like you to just start smashing stuff.

[rebellions]

dunno if I should agree or feel offended

[ Does he mean the comment about the lack of nudes, or the judgment of his character that followed? He refuses to specify. ]

no need for me to go ballistic if people can behave
but logic usually goes out the window the moment the opportunity to have one's wish granted presents itself
and everyone else has to suffer the consequences

[entreats]

It's not like we'll actually have our wishes fulfilled.

I mean, any idiot could realize this place would never do that for us. So why would anyone go that far for something that's obviously just fake or an outright trap?
