OKCINDR POST #7

[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 May 2nd, characters randomly look back at their tablets to see the following:

OKCINDR PROFILE RESET #7
PLEASE RESET PROFILE

This month, if players reset their profile, they will have a list of questions to answer:

- Do you like long walks on the beach?
- What's your favorite hobby?
- What's the best kind of crime?
- Are you a criminal or a judge?
- Are snakes friends?
- Will they be mad I changed them?
- What would you do to protect someone?
- What if I lost them forever?
- Have you ever thought of gardening?
- How do you know when someone is lying?
- Where do you think those who disappear end up? Or do you think they never truly left?

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:

[He'd had the same question! Still does, honestly.]

Given that building is now the courthouse, I wonder if it's about the symbolism of it all. Reminding us of the supposed purpose of this place or something like that.

[unsunder]

[ His list of questions is just getting longer tbh. ]

Do they seriously hold legal proceedings inside an illusory building?

[chimericalclaw]

[Welcome to Zekarion's life.]

Well, we're now apparently being sentenced within our dreams in what looks like a courtroom, so in a manner of speaking. I'm sure you can imagine it's more of a mockery of a system than anything.

[unsunder]

Oh, of course they can get into our heads. Why stop at kidnapping and raising the dead?

[chimericalclaw]

Already heard of that aspect, have you?

All in the name of "rehabilitation," I'm sure.

[unsunder]

I have heard of no such thing. I myself am proof enough of their ability to pluck the dead from their well-deserved rest.

[ And he's MAD ABOUT IT. ]

[chimericalclaw]

[Yeah he would be too.]

You have my sympathies for your disturbed sleep. You're not the first I've met. Death meaning little here is another running theme.

[unsunder]

Of course it is.

[ He makes a face to himself. Realistically, he should have some sort of Obligation to set things right, but gods, is he so, so tired of obligation. ]

I take that to mean we are unable to die so long as we are here?

[chimericalclaw]

Those who die simply reappear after a week or so has passed, to my knowledge.

[unsunder]

Hale and whole? Or... less so?

[chimericalclaw]

I haven't heard of any of us returning with pieces missing, physical or otherwise.

[He's wondered if that's really the case, but surely someone would have mentioned it by now...?]

[unsunder]

That seems entirely too good to be true.

[chimericalclaw]

It does, doesn't it. Even data gets corrupted with enough movement through a system.

[unsunder]

While I am not terribly keen to experiment with dying myself, if you come across anyone who has died recently, do me a favor and send them my way. I should like to get a look at them myself.

[ Hnnngh. He's been here how long and already he's getting Involved? This place really does suck. ]

[chimericalclaw]

[Oh...? A "look?" That offers some interesting implications.

Time to use his snooping for the greater good(?)!]

You happen to be talking to one at the moment, if I'm right. [Ragna tried to be all sly about it, but come on. It's completely transparent.] There was also another, a girl named Ellie. Both were close to two months ago.

[unsunder]

'Tis not as recent as I would like, but beggars cannot be choosers, as they say.

[chimericalclaw]

Another running theme of being here.

If I come across any other victims of unfortunate accidents a bit too late, I'll let you know.

[unsunder]

Much appreciated. I may not find anything, mind.

[chimericalclaw]

Better to try than not to know at all, hm?

[unsunder]

Basically.

You are quite the font of information, aren't you?

[chimericalclaw]

[A remark he's glad to take as a compliment.]

I do try. The more we all know of this place [and each other], the better we can focus our efforts on dealing with it.

[unsunder]

I have heard tell that some have not been so forthcoming with their information.

[ smashcut to viktor turning a snake person into a person-person on live tv. ]

[chimericalclaw]

As with any group that's large enough, unfortunately, whether it's intentional or not. I'm sure it can be difficult to know what to mention, for those who've been here a long while.

[yeah he would have liked to know that one ahead of time too—]

[unsunder]

Just how long is "a long while," to your knowledge?

[chimericalclaw]

Our current "cycle" began somewhere close to two years ago, according to those I've spoken to.
