Although ocular & brain implants are the means of communication nowadays, a messenger service still exists in this world. Mostly everyone uses LINE nowadays even if the need for cellular phones is null. Characters may have already recognized the interface to be somewhat familiar with the similar shade of green and same old slogan.
It happens the first time, and several times throughout the week as your character goes about their new routine. The sound of machine-like whirring, deep within their cranium, like a computer that’s in the midst of processing some new information. Then, there’s the familiar ping of a new public message, and whatever you were thinking about at that point of time will be plastered on the network, for all to read and react to. Daydreaming about ponies at work? Having a fun night out at a club? Regretting said night out at the club? Falling into a deep depression about how your life has turned out so far? It doesn’t matter when or where, because the system doesn’t discriminate. You’ll soon find the thoughts you were having during those moments posted on the network and it won’t be possible to delete.
"The system is updating … ... The system is updating … "
That’s the only explanation SYNTHIA will give when prodded or asked to take down a post. She’s not too helpful at this moment.
"Yeah, sorry. She gets temperamental like that sometimes. I can’t really do anything about your business being out there. But it’s pretty funny, right? Looks like you got hella wrecked last night. Good for you."
Welcome to our first Network Mingle! This is a TFLN-inspired mingle that’s been tweaked to make it completely canon to the game. Due to a glitch in the system, random thoughts that characters might be having throughout the week will be registered as network posts and posted in public for all to see and respond to. This can happen at any time as they wander around the main base or different Neo Tokyo locations!
HOW TO PLAY: 1. Write out prompts (example below) for others to respond to. These can be thoughts they’re having in bed, at work, while intoxicated or what-have-you. You can look up shower thoughts or TFLN as inspiration, but remember that this will be game canon so it has to be written in your character’s voice. 2. Go around and respond to others! 3. ??? 4. PROFIT!
Participation in this mingle isn’t obligatory, of course. If you don’t want your character to participate, you can simply assume the glitch did not affect them.
We also have a code below for fun, but please don't feel pressured to use it. As always, a regular text thread works out just fine! Most importantly, have fun!

that only applies to fiction. aren't they more likely to start believing whatever bullshit people write in those books?
( isn't there an isekai slime book in yae's publishing house... his point stands )
if someone doesn't engage with the real world and its history and laws, they're more likely to believe what's not real. what will be considered truth, then? if something is penned in a book and it sounds just appealing enough, couldn't that person try to make that work in the real world? it's stupid.
( you know what else is stupid?? this conversation. the akademiya's debates are starting to get to him... )
anyway. i don't care. this has nothing to do with me, and i would rather not engage with someone that dumb.
[ it's cute how he managed to get this conversation running all by himself ]
The truth, of course, is still what can be found in reality. What is tangible, what can be proven through various methods, what can be personally discovered and tested.
If a person continues to refuse tangible evidence in place of what's evidently the contents of a fictional book, then isn't that because that person stubbornly refuses to distinguish between what's real and what's not?
The book has nothing to do with it but simply bring fantasy to what's normally a mundane world.
