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:

You can’t revert back to human?

[digthefuzz]

There's nothing to revert to. I am a human mutant, but this is how I've always looked and always will look. I can only look like a normal human with disguises like my image inducer.

[emotionalbeast]

I’ve met an ability user able to do such, so I thought. The blue looks good.

[digthefuzz]

It's the kind of thing that works differently for different people I guess, among mutants and among other people with powers. But thanks! I'm a fan of it too. I do think it really brings out my eyes!

[emotionalbeast]

It’s difficult to find an ability user where I come from. They are rare as white goats in a herd of sheep. When one realize, the goat had struck them with a hard kick.

[What is this metaphor…]

Since you shared a delicate secret, I don’t mind sharing mines.

[digthefuzz]

I see. I know enough about farm life to get where you're getting at! I don't have a metaphor of my own, but mutants back home are a bit more plentiful. We didn't become public until just like a year ago though, so the world's still getting used to us being around.

Feel free to share whatever you want! I know now that it can feel liberating.

[emotionalbeast]

I’m not certain it will be liberating, here goes.

I’m not sure what is the real me. I was told I’m an evil person. I can’t keep people I care close to me because of my nature. They were probably right. I’m trying to change that, but then who will I become? Will I sway from this ‘evil’ and become a different person? Or will this evil keep root within me because that’s the ‘real’ me?

[digthefuzz]

That sounds rough. But you can't let other people define you. I like to think that we can all control who are. It might be harder for some people than others, but if you want to change, than you can change for the better. There's always hope. And there's always good to be found in everyone.

cw: mention of amputation

[emotionalbeast]

I was warned not to chase ‘it’. I didn’t quite understand at the time. Even after they fumbled back, is there still good? Sorry to throw this burden on you but I have to show some remorse from my action against someone I know. I cut his arm off.

It grows back, he’s fine.

[digthefuzz]

Well, you can get whatever you need to off your chest. To be honest, I have trouble following some of what you're saying. I'm glad that person got to regrow an arm at least! I hope that makes it easier for you both to put this all behind you.
