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!

It's no problem at all. Actually, I have a wealth of free time on my hands compared to before, and I also wouldn't mind getting the chance to try some of the local specialties.
I've heard of humans with jobs like that. From those I've seen walking the streets, it seems stressful. Are you satisfied with the life it leads you to have?
( not a direct yes or no... but that could mean anything. )
A means to an end, then? Having a job is new for me, here, but a responsibility that rewards me with necessary funds and a change of scenery isn't terrible... It almost feels satisfying.
Not exactly... Though I have been getting my nightly 7pm reading. The house is often filled with noise, such as TV or Wendy playing ball, and my current human has recently taken to signing me up for all sorts of commercials and meet ups.
Before that, it was always a focus on sports with him, and Wendy, the other puppy, only wanted to play catch and perform well in puppy sports. It felt like I had few quiet moments, and when I did, they were filled with me wondering why I was here on this earth. Just to entertain humans?

But a meal at one of the streetside stalls sounds wonderful. It's almost like being back home, on the rare opportunities I had to go out.

It wasn't a bad situation, living with them.
